The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Information about a famous wine-producing region is something Conan certainly couldn't overlook.

Conan's meaning was quite clear: he, as a child, couldn't investigate this matter on his own, so he had no choice but to trouble Jiang Hang.

Listening to Conan's analysis, Jiang Hang nodded thoughtfully. Even if Conan hadn't said anything, he would definitely have investigated who this Ms. Jodie was.

At that moment, Ms. Judy walked past with Xiaolan and the others.

“Jiang Hang, you’re here too,” Sonoko, standing next to Ran, couldn’t help but remark. “You seem to be quite busy as the Metropolitan Police Department’s consultant.”

Thanks to Suzuki Jirokichi, Jiang Hang has a good relationship with the Suzuki family. However, whenever Sonoko thinks about how Jiang Hang is acting like a brother to her seventy-something-year-old uncle, she gets a headache.

After greeting Xiaolan and Yuanzi, Jiang Hang smiled and shook hands with Judy.

"I know you! You're that amazing Eagle Vision detective!" Judy looked somewhat surprised, though her Japanese didn't seem very good. Her accent also sounded a bit strange and out of place.

It seemed as if she was pleasantly surprised to have met a great detective like Jiang Hang.

But how could Jiang Hang, who was skilled in disguise and had an eagle eye, not see the wariness beneath the other party's enthusiasm?

This woman's accent is deliberately faked!

Jiang Hang made this judgment almost immediately after hearing the first sentence the other party uttered.

The other party was quite alert and had a strong grip; everything indicated that the English teacher's identity was merely a facade.

Could it really be someone from the distillery?

Jiang Hang wondered to himself, "Is he from some other intelligence organization?"

These things can only be known through a little investigation.

Jiang Hang wasn't expecting to find out who this woman was right now; the murder case was more important.

So, before the police arrived, Jiang Hang inquired about the specific details of the case.

The deceased died while playing a fighting simulation game and dueling with someone.

"Because the police haven't arrived yet, we still don't know how he died. Before the police arrive, none of us who were in the arcade at the time are allowed to leave."

Sonoko muttered to herself, feeling a bit of a headache.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here today. If my mother finds out when I get back, she'll probably scold me again... Jiang Hang, why don't you go and explain to my mother tonight? She seems to trust you quite a bit."

While Sonoko was racking her brains about how to explain things to her family that night, Jiang Hang had already put on gloves and started examining the young man who had died in the game console seat.

Chapter 313: Chapter 311: How did you become a suspect again?

While Jiang Hang was investigating the cause of death of the deceased, who was about 20 years old, Inspector Megure and his team, who had received the emergency call, also rushed over.

When Inspector Megure saw Jiang Hang and Xiao Lan and her group, he adjusted his hat and didn't even ask why they were there. It seemed he was used to finding them at new crime scenes.

Jiang Hang could sense that when Takagi Wataru stood behind Inspector Megure and looked at him, there was a hint of resentment in his expression.

Jiang Hang responded with a friendly smile, then bent down to examine the deceased's body.

After Inspector Megure and his team greeted Jiang Hang, they did not interfere with his investigation of the deceased's body. Having known Jiang Hang for so long, they knew that although he had not systematically studied forensic medicine, he was more experienced in identifying poisons than the veterans who had worked in the identification department for decades.

They weren't idle either. While working in Jianghang, they sealed off the arcade and questioned everyone present at the time.

Perhaps because Jiang Hang was present, Inspector Megure felt much more at ease during the process. After seeing Ms. Jodie standing next to Ran, he even had a lively exchange of Japanese-accented English with her.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang stand up, Inspector Megure immediately approached him to ask what he had discovered.

If Jiang Hang were to say that the other person died of a heart attack or other personal reasons, he would feel somewhat relieved.

After all, even the police officers in charge of homicide cases would prefer to minimize the number of incidents.

But Jiang Hang simply shook his head at him: "Inspector Megure, I think we need a specialist to come over now."

Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Hang, his expression turning serious.

"Brother Jiang Hang, what do you mean?"

Jiang Hang directly lifted the right sleeve of the young deceased and pointed to a seemingly inconspicuous small red dot on his arm, explaining.

"Here are the needle marks, and below that is the artery. If I'm not mistaken, the murderer used a syringe or a fine needle coated with a highly toxic substance to stab the victim in the arm. As for what kind of poison killed the victim, further testing is needed."

Although Jiang Hang possessed expertise in using poisons, after a preliminary examination, he was able to confirm that the deceased had suffered nerve paralysis and respiratory failure due to a colorless and odorless poison. However, since he did not have any poison detection equipment on him, he was unable to determine what kind of poison had killed the deceased.

However, at least this time the poison wasn't potassium cyanide.

“When I arrived here, the waiter had just called the police. No one left the arcade during that time, so the murderer should still be in the arcade.” Jiang Hang looked at the people in the arcade. Under his eagle eyes, almost no one dared to meet his gaze.

After Jiang Hang finished speaking, he looked at Conan beside him, wanting to see if he had anything to add.

At this moment, Conan continued to rest his chin on his hand, seemingly pondering either the matter of the teacher Jodie, whose identity was questionable, or information about the current case.

It seems that Conan hasn't noticed any particular clues yet.

At that moment, Takagi Wataru, who was in the arcade questioning the deceased about his identity, also arrived with information about the deceased.

“Inspector Megure has already questioned the deceased. His name is Goken Obō, he is 21 years old and unemployed.”

“I have already sent people to investigate the deceased’s relatives and other acquaintances. According to the regulars and staff at the arcade, the deceased was a hoodlum and didn’t have a good reputation at the arcade.”

Such behavior includes frequently humiliating those who are bad at games, or, after winning a match, humiliating the opponent while forcibly taking game coins from them.

Jiang Hang added from the side, "The deceased had tattoos, which looked like they were newly done. He must have recently joined a gang."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure frowned and said, "So, the deceased had made quite a few enemies before, and this time it was probably someone he had previously provoked who couldn't help but attack him, or it could be a gang feud?"

"Takagi, have you investigated anyone the deceased provokes at the arcade?" Since the deceased died at the arcade, Inspector Megure naturally planned to start by investigating the deceased's rivals at the arcade.

"Yes, based on the answers from the customers in the arcade, we did manage to get some names, but most of those people aren't in this arcade anymore..."

As he said this, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hang beside him.

"Well... about a month ago, the deceased was disciplined by Jiang Hang..."

Almost as soon as Takagi Wataru finished speaking, Jiang Hang felt Conan beside him give him a suspicious look, as if to say, "How come you've become a suspect again?"

Even Jiang Hang himself was stunned. He turned his head to look at the corpse he had just examined.

"Did I beat this guy up... cough cough, teach him a lesson?" Jiang Hang scratched his head.

But after thinking it over carefully, he realized he didn't remember the person at all. At most, he remembered that he had dealt with a few thugs in this arcade a little over a month ago, but he never paid much attention to appearances.

After all, since arriving in this world, he has been doing ten or so basic commissions a day, and it is normal for him to do twenty or thirty on other days. He has arrested hundreds of petty thieves in the past few months, including some who were caught red-handed but still tried to resist.

As a courageous and righteous detective, Jiang Hang naturally had no choice but to subdue the other party in self-defense.

As for those weaklings who could be dealt with with a single move, or who wouldn't even last a second move, it would be strange if Jiang Hang would even remember them.

Seeing the subtle changes in the expressions on Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi's faces, Jiang Hang couldn't help but spread his hands.

"Okay, okay, I understand your police procedures. Whether you want to search me or remove me from the investigation, I'll cooperate. There's no need to make that face, is there?"

Hearing Jiang Hang's cooperation, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. As a police officer, it was essential to do this since Jiang Hang was also a suspect. Since Jiang Hang was willing to cooperate, that was naturally the best outcome.

Chapter 314: Chapter 312: Otaku Policeman Chiba Kazunobu

Jiang Hang is now naturally a suspect.

After all, he had beaten up the other party in the arcade a month ago. If there had been any further friction in the past month or so, Jiang Hang, with his expertise in poison, would naturally have the means to kill the other party. In fact, the hidden blade in Jiang Hang's hand contained a tranquilizer dart that could be used to quickly anesthetize others. As long as the tranquilizer dart on it was replaced with poison, Jiang Hang could easily kill anyone who came within ten meters of him.

If Jiang Hang hadn't been at the crime scene, it wouldn't have mattered. But since he is now there and examined the victim's body before the police arrived, the suspicion surrounding him has increased considerably.

To be honest, if it were someone else now, they would probably already be considered the prime suspect by the police.

In an empty office in the arcade, Jiang Hang took off his shirt and let Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu check it.

Kazunobu Chiba is also a police officer in the First Investigation Division, and his rank is the same as Wataru Takagi, who has not yet passed the police inspector supplementary exam: patrol officer.

However, from his appearance, Chiba Kazunobu is just a kind-hearted fat man. If he's not wearing a uniform, he looks like a shut-in otaku.

They are currently checking Jiang Hang's belongings to confirm that there are no weapons on him.

Although they knew that given Jiang Hang's personality, it was impossible for him to have committed this crime.

They knew that even if Jiang Hang had really committed a crime, it was obviously impossible for them to find out so easily, but they still had to go through the motions.

It was less of a search and more of a casual chat among the group.

"Jiang Hang, do you really not remember anything about the deceased?" Takagi Wataru asked Jiang Hang to confirm.

"Don't you know what I've been doing these past few months? Running around every corner of Tokyo, I caught about a dozen troublemakers at the arcade alone. After I 'taught' them a lesson, none of them dared to come after me for revenge. I remember what these guys did."

If these people dared to retaliate after he "taught" them a lesson, Jiang Hang would remember their identities. However, according to what the arcade employee told Takagi Wataru, ever since Jiang Hang taught Oto Goken a lesson a month ago, Oto Goken has been avoiding Jiang Hang and doesn't dare to stand arrogantly in front of him.

After asking Jiang Hang about his schedule for the day and confirming that Jiang Hang had no recollection of the victim he had beaten up, and that there seemed to be no motive or opportunity for the crime, the atmosphere in the office became much more relaxed.

"Jiang Hang...you always carry your hidden blade with you when you go out..." Takagi Wataru muttered to himself as he looked at the two different hidden blades that Jiang Hang took from his hand, each with a completely different design and purpose. He didn't ask any questions about the sleeping pills or similar items that Jiang Hang had taken out of his body.

"After all, he's a detective. Unexpected things can easily happen during the process of solving cases. Keeping this on you might come in handy someday in an emergency," Jiang Hang said, watching Chiba Kazunobu playing with the new hidden blade made by Professor Agasa with great interest.

"Be careful, it contains the latest stun guns and tranquilizer darts. If you don't want to lie in bed all day or be shocked into incontinence, you'd better not touch it."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's reminder, Chiba Kazunobu quickly stopped what he was doing and handed it back to Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang took the hidden sword and easily disassembled it: "Here are tranquilizer needles. Take them and check if they contain sleeping pills or poison."

Chiba Kazunobu looked at the exquisitely crafted hidden blade in Jiang Hang's hand with some envy.

"This looks really nice. Is it complicated to make?" Judging from his words, it seemed like he wanted to get the same one for himself.

“It’s not too difficult to make. I asked Professor Agasa to make a few spares for me before. The price isn’t too expensive. It’s just that the materials required are relatively high in the key parts. It should be less than one million yen to make a standard version of the hidden blade,” Jiang Hang told Chiba Kazunobu about the price of a set of hidden blades.

"But if you're not careful, you could easily cut off your little finger. Are you sure you want me to get you one?" Jiang Hang said, taking out several tear gas canisters and smoke bombs from his leg and placing them on the table.

"I don't actually want to use this thing... I just want to keep it as a keepsake. After all, apart from Jiang Hang, I haven't seen anyone else use something like this." Chiba Kazunobu scratched his head.

"And one million yen... only someone like you, Jiang Hang, could say that so casually. I usually only buy figurines for less than ten thousand yen."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang mention the cost of the hidden blade, Chiba Kazunobu quickly waved his hand.

While watching Jiang Hang take out one "dangerous item" after another, Takagi Wataru explained to Jiang Hang, "Chiba is actually a homebody. His house is full of all kinds of figurines and models. A few days ago, when he was on vacation, he went to the cinema to watch the movie released by your film company."

Hearing Takagi Wataru's explanation, Jiang Hang looked at Chiba Kazunobu with slight surprise: "You went to see Gomera?"

As he said this, Chiba Kazunobu suddenly reached out and shook Jiang Hang's hand, his tone becoming somewhat excited: "Of course, I've been a Gomela fan for ten years, but in recent years Gomela's production and promotion have been somewhat mediocre. Until this year, when you acquired Dabao Films, Jiang Hang, I saw a different Gomela. If you can maintain this, Gomela's popularity will definitely become hot again!"

After excitedly expressing his love for Gomera to Jiang Hang, he immediately looked at Jiang Hang with a curious gaze: "I've heard that you acquired Dabao Film and Television and Yingdu Photography, and that there's a new project with an investment of hundreds of millions that's currently being filmed. Can you tell me a little bit about it?"

Jiang Hang looked at Chiba Kazunobu, who had a curious expression on his face, and said, "The name of the new work is 'Ultraman,' and it is about a heroic warrior who comes from the distant M78 Nebula."
