The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Now that he's learned his lesson from Himegami Sakura, he probably won't be able to make any moves in the short term.

Jiang Hang had no interest in personally teaching this guy a lesson. After giving Zhang Tianzheng a disgusted look, he waved to Himegami Sakura, telling her to take this eyesore away quickly.

"Are we just going to let him go so easily?" Himegami Sakura asked Jiang Hang.

"He's just an insignificant guy. There's no need to go to great lengths for him. Now that the matter is resolved, as long as that guy has any sense, he won't bother us again," Jiang Hang said.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Himegami Sakura's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded.

After receiving confirmation that he was safe and could leave, Zhang Tianzheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thanked Jiang Hang again and left without looking back.

"Thank you so much for your hard work this time," he said to Himegami Sakura.

Himegami Sakura didn't seem to care about the thanks.

She seems quite interested in filming Ultraman.

Jiang Hang led her around the storyline for a short while.

"Is this DaBao Films' new work? It looks like it would be very troublesome to film."

She was referring to the various precision models specially made for the filming of Ultraman.

In addition to the fighter jets of the search team where the protagonist is located, there are also miniature models of the port. The value of these models alone is in the hundreds of thousands of yen or even higher. Their purpose is to be destroyed by the monster during the subsequent filming.

This seemed like an extreme waste to Himegami Sakura.

Compared to Daisuke Mikami, who has maintained an extremely high reputation in the tokusatsu film industry for 10 years, Sakura Himegami is more like a standard businessman.

For example, the General series launched by Yingdu Photography Studio in the past 5 years is a highly commercialized tokusatsu work that is very popular with the audience, and the related toys also sell quite well.

However, commercialization is driven by the desire to make more money, and Jiang Hang, who is not short of money, does not care about losses in this area. As long as he is happy, that's all that matters.

As for making money, we'll just have to see how it goes. Of course, it would be best if we could make money, but it doesn't matter if we can't.

“That’s how it is with giant-scale tokusatsu. If the production cost goes down, the viewing experience for the audience also goes down,” Jiang Hang said. “Actually, the main problem affecting the filming schedule is prop production. Although we have recruited a lot of new prop team members, the speed is still a bit slow.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Himeko Sakura seemed to remember something: "If you're short of props people, I do know someone at another photography studio. They have five or six people in their props team, but that studio doesn't shoot superhero tokusatsu; they shoot period dramas. If you don't mind, I can try to poach them."

Hearing the name of a new photography studio from Himegami Sakura, Jiang Hang instinctively wanted to ask if he wanted to buy from that studio.

As if she could see through Jiang Hang's thoughts, Himeko shook her head at him: "Although the photography studio is going to close, the owner of the land is not going to sell the house for the time being, but is going to convert the photography studio into a supermarket."

Himegami Sakura briefly explained the situation of that photography studio. It was an old-established studio that was much older than Yingdu Photography Studio. It had been established for decades and had a glorious period. However, as period dramas gradually faded from the historical stage, such photography studios naturally had no choice but to close down.

Jiang Hang was a little disappointed when he heard that he couldn't buy the film studio, but when he heard about turning the film studio into a supermarket, Jiang Hang immediately thought of something. Although he couldn't buy the film studio, he could find a way to directly bring over the entire crew of that film studio!

Chapter 312: Chapter 310: The Blonde Woman in the Arcade

Tonight's Ultraman filming went very smoothly, with virtually no mistakes. The important scenes were all filmed in one take, which saved Jiang Hang a lot of filming costs.

The next day, Jiang Hang took Naruhodo Ryuichi to the movie theater that he had previously set his sights on and wanted to sell, to discuss the specific acquisition details.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Hang had helped them solve a problem, or perhaps they had learned about Jiang Hang's background from Himegami Sakura. The cinema owner and staff were all quite enthusiastic towards Jiang Hang.

It didn't take long for Jiang Hang to acquire the cinema at a very favorable price.

However, since Jiang Hang plans to use this cinema as a base and headquarters for promoting tokusatsu and even animated films, it will need to undergo a period of renovation after being acquired to upgrade it to the level of a first-class cinema in all aspects.

Even if Jiang Hang has the money, it will probably still be several months before the cinema reopens.

As for the matter of poaching people from the photography studio that Himegami Sakura mentioned more than ten years ago, Jiang Hang told the people at Da Bao Film and Television and didn't inquire about it further.

Jiang Hang is now a boss, so he can leave things like poaching and recruiting employees to the head of the human resources department.

Anyway, DaBao Film and Television is short of people right now. If a photography studio is going to close down, he wouldn't mind poaching all the capable people from that studio.

Even if the staff digs too much, it doesn't matter, Jiang Hang still has plenty of things from his original world in his head.

Da Bao Film and Television is filming an Ultraman TV series and producing a new Gomera movie. In addition to the existing Great General series, Yingdu Photography Studio can also start a few new tokusatsu series.

Besides the Kamen Rider series, which has a similar name to the Kamen Rider series in this world but is quite different in content, the Super Sentai series and the Metal Hero series that he watched when he was a child could also be brought to this world.

For Jiang Hang, these can all be considered his interests.

Rather than dealing with the hassle of hiring people, Jiang Hang prefers to continue his detective work or take on small roles on set, like a bomb maker.

After discussing the acquisition of the movie theater, Jiang Hang continued to seek out suitable commissions in and around Beika Town.

Jiang Hang can often be seen in places where commissions are easy to come by, such as convenience stores, supermarkets, amusement parks, and arcades.

Jiang Hang's tasks were quite simple: helping lost children find their mothers, buying new balloons for children whose balloons had flown into the sky, and incidentally stopping some children from doing reckless things.

If you encounter a thief, he can simply grab him and take him to the security office or the nearest police station.

During holidays, you can get about ten of these types of commissions in a single morning, which means you can easily earn tens of millions a day.

However, because Jiang Hang often appears in these places without trying to hide it, the waiters and security guards in these places have become familiar with him.

Just like now, Jiang Hang didn't disguise himself and went directly to the vicinity of a newly opened arcade in Beika Town, which is next to Beika Town. He was quickly recognized.

This arcade is considered a large-scale arcade in the surrounding towns, with many new game machines, ranging from traditional joystick games, motion-sensing games, simulation games, and even trendy VR games.

Jiang Hang had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to get a membership card at this arcade to make his work easier.

Of course, it wasn't just this one arcade; Jiang Hang also got memberships at all the amusement parks and supermarkets he frequented.

Compared to his spending, the money he earned from missions and commissions at this arcade was already in the tens of millions.

Jiang Hang felt that using such a small amount of money to build good relationships with the arcade owner and staff was an extremely worthwhile investment.

He had only been passing by and had no intention of coming over, but a system notification appeared just as he was passing by.

Generally, system notifications will only appear when there is a case nearby.

In most cases, this function is just a tool Jiang Hang uses to determine if there are thieves around. After all, he is not Conan, a beloved character in the world, and murder cases are not so easy to encounter.

He originally thought this was just a common theft, since it was common in arcades for people to secretly take some game tokens from others because they had run out of tokens.

However, stealing one or two game coins usually wouldn't trigger a system alert, and Jiang Hang usually just didn't bother with such things.

But this time, he was stopped by a waiter who looked a little nervous standing outside the arcade as he approached.

Compared to her previous enthusiasm, this waiter now seemed to have found a savior upon seeing Jiang Hang.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, you've come at the right time. Um... the arcade is in big trouble!"

Because he was quite familiar with Jiang Hang, he knew Jiang Hang's identity as a famous detective and that Jiang Hang had a good relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department. If he got Jiang Hang's help, they might be able to solve the case quickly.

"big trouble?"

Jiang Hang frowned slightly and asked the waiter, "What's wrong? Explain the situation to me."

Judging from his appearance, it seems that this is not just an ordinary theft case.

With the waiter's somewhat subtle explanation, Jiang Hang quickly figured out the situation inside the arcade.

About five minutes before Jiang Hang arrived, a man in the arcade died during a game.

The waiter was standing outside the arcade waiting for the police to arrive.

Looking at the noisy crowd in the arcade, Jiang Hang took out the consultant's badge issued to him by the Metropolitan Police Department, which made the crime scene much quieter.

Upon entering the arcade, he immediately activated Eagle Vision.

However, as four important figures marked in red by Hawkeye came into Jiang Hang's line of sight, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Encountering Conan and his friends at the crime scene—is this a coincidence, a chance occurrence, or a highly probable event?

I just thought about the cases I've handled over the past few months. It seems like there are only two or three that have nothing to do with Conan.

The other cases were either solved with Conan, or he stole Conan's spotlight.

This time, it was Ran and Sonoko, the two best friends, who appeared in the arcade.

However, among the four red figures, Kogoro Mouri was not present; instead, there was a blonde woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old with a sexy figure.

Jiang Hang appeared holding the badge of a police intelligence advisor, which naturally attracted the attention of Conan, the elementary school student known as the Grim Reaper.

He ran straight to Jiang Hang's side, then quickly met Jiang Hang's gaze, as if asking Jiang Hang: How did you get here?

Jiang Hang squatted down and responded, "Don't make that strange face. Shouldn't I be the one asking the questions? I came to check because I noticed something was wrong here. What about you?"

Conan's expression changed slightly, and he forced an explanation: "It was Sonoko who insisted on dragging Ran to this arcade, so I came along. Who knew this would happen?"

Jiang Hang didn't care about Conan's explanation.

It would be abnormal if he were to encounter Conan in some setting and there was no murder case happening around him.

"Who is that blonde woman standing next to your Ran?" he asked Conan.

Jiang Hang racked his brains for a moment, but he didn't seem to have much of an impression of this woman who looked somewhat similar to Vermouth at first glance and wore glasses.

Even when he first saw this foreign woman, he wondered if she was Vermouth.

Of course, with a closer look, he could tell that Vermouth and this newly appeared woman were not the same person at all.

At least this woman showed absolutely no signs of disguise in her appearance.

But since she was judged to be a relatively important figure in this world from Hawkeye's perspective, Jiang Hang couldn't help but cast more glances at her.

Hmm... she does have a great figure.

Ahem, Jiang Hang was referring not only to the woman's impressive figure, but also, from Eagle Eye's perspective, to the fact that this woman's physical condition was far superior to that of an average person, indicating that she had received formal and systematic training.

At the same time, according to his perception, this woman posed a significant threat to him.

Perhaps sensing Jiang Hang's gaze, the woman smiled at him.

"That's Judy, Teitan's new English teacher. She came from the United States. According to her, she really likes Japanese video games, which is why she came to Japan specifically."

"It seems that recently, she has been going to this arcade, which is far from the school, to play games every day after school."

"Seriously speaking, she could be considered a suspect in this case, because she was sitting on a car simulator near the victim when the incident occurred," Conan explained to Jiang Jianghang in a low voice.

When Conan talked to Jiang Hang about the new English teacher, his voice became much softer.

"Her full name is Judy, Judy Saint-Temilion. Does that name remind you of anything?"

Jiang Hang repeated the name, but he didn't have any ideas yet, so Conan answered first.

"This is the name of one of the five wine-producing regions in Bordeaux, the world's wine capital."

Seeing Ran and the others walking this way, Conan quickly said to Jiang Hang, "Although it may just be a coincidence, all the main members of that organization have codenames that are names of alcoholic beverages. When you encounter names like this, it's best to investigate them first."

To avoid being caught off guard when encountering members of the distillery, Conan has recently been doing a thorough review of everything related to alcohol.
