The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

After a quick tour of the entire Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Hang followed Takagi Wataru to the office of the First Investigation Division.

"It seems there aren't many people from the First Investigation Division today?" Jiang Hang glanced around and saw that there were only a few scattered people in the entire Investigation Division, which was completely different from when he first came here.

"Because there have been a lot of explosions in Tokyo recently, it seems to be related to the gunpowder stolen from the gunpowder warehouse. The investigation department is currently investigating these items. Also, there was a bank robbery in Beikacho the day before yesterday. Inspector Megure's wife happened to be withdrawing money at that bank and was frightened by the robbers. She is still recovering in the hospital. So Inspector Megure is currently leading a team to investigate this case there."

“No wonder we haven’t seen Inspector Megure all day,” Jiang Hang said, while also asking Takagi Wataru, “Speaking of which, Takagi, how many bank robberies have there been in Tokyo this year?”

Takagi Wataru recalled: "If I count them, there were probably more than a hundred robberies, but not that many were successful. There were probably more than ten successful robberies, but most of the bank robberies have been solved. The ones that haven't been solved yet were probably the one two months ago, the one involving 1 billion yen, the one where the two robbers were shot and killed."

At this point, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but sigh, "There have been quite a few bank robberies this year. I wonder if this case will be solved."

Jiang Hang's expression was somewhat strange. If that's the case, then the ten billion yen that Miyano Akemi stole is still hidden in Professor Agasa's house and hasn't been returned yet.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Do you need my help with my first case as a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department?" Jiang Hang asked Takagi Wataru.

"There shouldn't be any problems for now. Inspector Megure is quite serious this time, and the investigation is making progress. Yesterday afternoon, the wife of the bank manager called us and said she could provide some information about the perpetrator. We also arranged for her to come to the Metropolitan Police Department at 5 p.m. for questioning."

Takagi Wataru immediately added, "At the time of the incident, the woman was being held hostage by the robbers, so she may have discovered something during the process."

Hearing Takagi Wataru say this, Jiang Hang frowned slightly: "We agreed to meet this afternoon. If there is any important information, shouldn't we know it as soon as possible?"

Takagi Wataru scratched his head: "That's what I said too. The lady said she hasn't fully confirmed it yet and needs time to confirm, so the time was finally set for this afternoon."

Jiang Hang still felt something was off. Just as he was about to say something, he heard another woman's voice from the side.

“That’s strange. I also received a call, but it was from the bank manager. He called yesterday afternoon and told us that he and his wife would come over at 2 p.m. today.”

Jiang Hang turned around and saw that it was Sato Miwako, who had been shot several times in the Kazato Kyosuke case not long ago.

Looking at Jiang Hang, Sato Miwako waved and greeted him: "Newly appointed Metropolitan Police Department consultant, long time no see. I owe you a lot for your help with the last case."

Although it hasn't been long since Kyosuke Kazato's case, it seems that Miwako Sato's injuries have almost healed.

"Officer Sato, have you been discharged from the hospital?"

“The gunshot wound wasn’t in a critical location to begin with. The doctor’s skills are excellent, and my own recovery ability is also quite good, so I was discharged from the hospital a long time ago,” Sato Miwako laughed heartily. “Although Inspector Megure told me to rest at home for a while longer, I felt that if I rested any longer, my body would become rusty, so I came back to work.”

"But I don't have to go out on fieldwork yet. I just stay in the office to handle some documents and records, and do some simple rehabilitation exercises."

After briefly explaining her situation to Jiang Hang, Sato Miwako looked at Takagi Wataru and patted him on the shoulder: "Speaking of which, that sleep method you taught me a while ago was quite effective. I was wondering why you seemed so energetic lately, so that's why."

"I think the sleep method must have played a big role in my being able to be discharged from the hospital so quickly this time. Anyway, thank you so much!"

It was obvious to the naked eye that Takagi Wataru's expression became somewhat tense, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Hang standing to the side.

Before teaching Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru had consulted Jiang Hang, but he was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Hang that he wanted to teach Sato Miwako, so he just said that he wanted to teach a colleague he was very close to.

Now that Sato Miwako had said such things in front of Jiang Hang, he immediately felt Jiang Hang looking at him with a strange smile, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

But at this moment, it was naturally inappropriate for him to speak to Jiang Hang.

Fortunately, Miwako Sato didn't dwell on the topic and quickly moved on to the main point.

"Anyway, just to confirm, you were talking about the bank in Beika Town that was robbed of 200 million yen, right?"

Takagi Wataru breathed a slight sigh of relief, then answered definitively, "Yes, it is Masuo Kayo, the wife of Masuo Keizo, the branch manager of the Beika branch of the Bank of Tokyo."

“She had already been questioned by our police at the time of the incident, but at that time she said she was not affected. She must have remembered something later.”

As Takagi Wataru said this, he also seemed a little puzzled: "But since Mr. Masuo has already called to arrange a time, will his wife call separately to arrange another time?"

"Perhaps the couple discussed it again and set a new time." Sato Miwako thought for a moment, "Mr. Masuo did tell me that he wanted to resolve this case as soon as possible. After all, he is the branch manager, and he will bear some responsibility for the robbery. If he can't resolve this case, he probably won't have a good ending in the bank."

Takagi Wataru nodded, then looked at the time: "Isn't it almost 2 p.m.? Mr. Masuo and the others should be here soon."

As luck would have it, just as they were discussing this topic, a policeman knocked on the office door: "Inspector Sato, the branch manager of Beika branch has arrived!"

Chapter 304: Chapter 302: A murder case that appeared on the other end of the phone!

Jiang Hang's gaze fell on the branch manager who had just been robbed a few days earlier.

He was around fifty or sixty years old, still quite tall but a bit overweight. Judging from his slightly listless appearance, it seemed he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

After all, a robbery had occurred at the bank he managed, so it was quite normal for him, as the branch manager, to react this way.

The banking industry in Japan is considered a rather ruthless one; a slight misstep can lead to complete ruin, not to mention bank robberies.

You could tell from the sweat pouring from his forehead that Mr. Masuo Keizo had rushed over, and the first thing he did upon arriving at the office was to check the time on his watch.

He seemed slightly relieved after seeing that it was not yet 2 o'clock.

"Sorry, something came up at the bank, I almost got late."

The branch manager tidied his clothes briefly outside the search department's office, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"It's alright, Mr. Masuo, why don't you rest for a while?" Takagi Wataru stepped forward to greet him.

Masuo Keizo's gaze first swept over Takagi Wataru and Jiang Hang, before turning to Sato Miwako.

"You must be Officer Sato. I'm Keizo Masuo, who contacted you yesterday." As a branch manager of a bank, Keizo Masuo was very polite. He walked into the office and glanced around. "Strange, hasn't Kayo arrived yet?"

Takagi Wataru spoke first, then shook his head: "Mrs. Masuo hasn't arrived yet. Come to think of it, she called us last night saying she'd be here at 5 PM..."

Before Takagi Wataru could finish his question, Masuo Keizo answered first: "I have to go back to the head office at five o'clock this afternoon, and I also have work to do at the bank this morning, so I arranged to meet my wife here. However, I didn't see her when I arrived, and I thought she had come here earlier."

As he said this, Keizo Masuo glanced at the watch on his wrist again.

"That's strange. Could it be that she was taking a nap and overslept?"

"Excuse me, my phone is almost out of battery. Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

“Of course, no problem, please use it.” Takagi Wataru gestured to the location of the phone, and then Masuo Keizo quickly walked over and dialed his wife’s number.

Jiang Hang noticed that the bank manager was constantly checking the time on his watch while making the call, and he seemed a little anxious.

This guy is way too sensitive to time.

Through Eagle Eye, Jiang Hang could even see that the man's fingers were trembling slightly as he dialed the number.

The call was connected soon.

After exchanging a few words with his wife, Keizo Masuo suddenly looked at Wataru Takagi beside him: "I'm already at the Metropolitan Police Department. You should tell the police officer first."

Keizo Masuo handed the phone to Wataru Takagi, his expression somewhat apologetic: "I'm so sorry, my wife probably got the time mixed up."

Takagi Wataru quickly waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about such things: "It's okay, as long as she comes over now and explains the situation to us."

He took the phone and heard Kayo Masuo's voice on the other end.

"Hello, Mrs. Masuo, I am the police officer who received your call yesterday."

“The officer from yesterday, I remember you were Officer Takagi, right?”

Takagi Wataru spoke a few words with the other party and quickly mentioned that the other party had contacted the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday to arrange a meeting at 5 p.m.

However, as soon as Takagi Wataru brought up the matter, Masuo Keizo's expression clearly changed.

"Let me do the talking. I'll have my wife come over quickly so as not to delay your police work."

As he said this, he took the phone from Takagi Wataru's hand, seemingly urging his wife to come to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.

However, just as he picked up the phone, said a few words to his wife, and urged her to come over as soon as possible, a scream suddenly came from the other end of the line!

"Kayo? Kayo, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the scream, Masuo Keizo's expression immediately became extremely tense, and he called out in concern.

"What happened?!" Takagi Wataru asked immediately.

Keizo Masuo's hands trembled as he held the phone: "Just now... I heard Kayo scream on the other end of the line..."

With years of experience as a detective, Takagi Wataru reacted quickly, snatching the phone from Masuo Keizo's hand and loudly asking Masuo Kayo on the other end, "Mrs. Masuo, what happened? Hello, hello, can you hear me?!"

However, no matter how he asked, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, who was standing next to him, immediately looked extremely ugly.

"Could it be that the robbers found out about Masuo's situation and went to silence her today?" Takagi Wataru shook his head at Sato Miwako, indicating that there was no longer any response on the other end of the phone.

"That can't be guaranteed yet, but we have to check the situation."

"Takagi, go and call the other patrol officers who aren't out on patrol. I'm going to get the car now!" When Inspector Megure wasn't in the investigation division, the highest-ranking officer, Miwako Sato, gave the order directly.

Takagi Wataru hesitated for a moment: "But Sato, your body..."

"It's just driving, nothing will happen. Time is of the essence!" Sato Miwako quickly walked out.

When Takagi Wataru heard what Sato Miwako said, although he was still a little worried, his duty as a police officer made him act quickly.

He glanced at Jiang Hang. Jiang Hang, who had just become an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, naturally couldn't slack off. He nodded directly to Takagi Wataru, indicating that he would also go with them.

After making his statement, Jiang Hang looked at Masuo Keizo, who was standing to the side with a pale face.

He felt that this sudden case was a bit strange, and at the same time, he was thinking about what was going on on the other end of the phone.

It seems that Mrs. Masuo is probably in grave danger, but if she's lucky, perhaps the scream was just an accident.

However, this possibility is really slim.

Jiang Hang pondered the matter at hand, his eagle eyes already scanning Masuo Keizo.

However, apart from some nail-like marks on Masuo Keizo's hands, he didn't find anything particularly unusual about Masuo Keizo.

Chapter 305: Chapter 303: Suspicion of the Victim's Husband

Takagi Wataru quickly gathered his men, who would take the investigative equipment to the Masuo family.

He, Jiang Hang, and Masuo Keizo had already traveled to the Masuo residence in Sato Miwako's car.

It has to be said that Sato Miwako is also a seasoned driver, and she is quite skilled at speeding. Even Takagi Wataru, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but press himself tightly against the backrest, for fear that something might happen.

With his entire body tense, Takagi Wataru asked Masuo Keizo, who was sitting behind him, "Mr. Masuo, have you noticed anything unusual these past few days?"

Keizo Masuo hesitated for a moment: "My wife did tell me that she felt someone had been loitering around our house these past few days. Maybe that's what made her realize something... but I didn't think too much about it yesterday."

"Damn it, if I had taken this to heart, this probably wouldn't have happened!" he muttered to himself, seemingly somewhat regretful.

Seeing his anxious expression, Sato Miwako, who was driving, comforted him for a while, telling him not to worry too much: "We haven't figured out what's going on yet. Maybe Mrs. Masuo is alright... Your house should be just ahead, right?"

Listening to Sato Miwako's words of comfort, Masuo Keizo simply covered his face with his hands and nodded without making any other response.

It didn't take long for Miwako Sato to arrive at the Masuo residence.

This is a very ordinary detached house, the kind of small villa that often appears in various anime to make its presence felt.
