The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Of course, even if Ōmiya Jūshirō did nothing, Jiang Hang would not allow Yamamoto Osamu to successfully surrender, since such a surrender would not stand up to scrutiny.

However, Ōmiya Jushirō could not stand by and watch Yamamoto Osamu take the blame for him, so he chose to confess.

Chapter 333: Chapter 331: I should have told you before, a detective is not such an inconvenient thing.

After resolving the case, on her way home, Kiharu Yuno asked Jiang Hang a question with some concern.

"Although Jiang Hang said you're sure Mr. Yamamoto might turn himself in to protect Mr. Omiya, you can't be completely certain about that, right? What if Mr. Yamamoto doesn't turn himself in, or even if he does, Omiya Jushiro doesn't confess? What would you do then, Jiang Hang?"

Jiang Hang shrugged at Koharu Yuno's question.

“Omiya Jushiro has been with Toto Studio for over thirty years. It can be said that after Shirota Haruhiko’s father, who was the studio’s first owner, passed away, he became the backbone of the entire studio. Those who have worked in the film crew for more than ten years and have not yet left the studio can all be said to be on Omiya Jushiro’s side.”

“Without prior communication, and after some hints, even if Yamamoto doesn’t confess, there are probably quite a few people who know the truth who would be willing to step forward and take the blame for Ōmiya Jūjō.” That was his answer.

“If someone turns themselves in, this case will not be handled as a simple accident. If those who turn themselves in cannot prove that they planned this, then the police’s attention will easily shift to Ōmiya Jūjō.”

There is a motive for murder, the possibility of faking an accident, and the moon prop discovered by Jiang Hang as an explanation for the murderous intent. If Omiya Shisoro resolutely refuses to plead guilty, then in the end it will simply be a battle between the prosecutor and the lawyer.

Of course, Jiang Hang still had a last resort: to hide his identity, beat up Ōmiya Jūshirō, and then use Hawkeye's crime replay ability to review the entire course of the crime. However, this case obviously didn't require such a method.

Hearing Jiang Hang's reply, Mu Chunyuno understood Jiang Hang's thoughts, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable with the result.

"But isn't the point of being a detective to use solid evidence to silence the criminals? If detectives in mystery novels used this method to solve cases, they would definitely be criticized by readers."

Jiang Hang scoffed at this. He wasn't a normal detective. He could pretend to be a famous detective if he could solve cases with Hawkeye, but if he encountered something that even Hawkeye couldn't handle, it wasn't surprising that he would use some unconventional methods.

"The time, place, process, and even motive of the crime have been confirmed, but there is a lack of sufficient physical evidence, and all the witnesses are on the suspect's side. If we are still hesitant in this situation, haven't I told you before that detectives are not such inconvenient beings?"

As he said this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh: "But it seems that the plan to poach talent has failed."

With Haruhiko Shirota dead, the demolition project scheduled for the end of this month will likely be unable to continue. And judging from the atmosphere at the Dongdu Photography Studio, Jiang Hang personally sent their pillar of support to prison. Even if the studio really goes bankrupt, probably not many people will be willing to come to him.

In fact, just a few days after the case of Ōmiya Jushirō, Jiang Hang heard from Takagi Wataru that after Shirota Haruhiko's death, the new heir had no interest in period dramas or building supermarkets, and only wanted to take a sum of money and leave as soon as possible.

So, in the end, the old employees of Dongdu Photography Studio joined together, took out their savings, and borrowed money from many big names in the industry to buy Dongdu Photography Studio. It is believed that the photography studio will resume normal operation soon.

At least for now, everything is moving in a positive direction.

Jiang Hang stopped paying attention to the Dongdu Photography Studio and was currently working on a new hidden blade in Dr. Agasa's studio.

Besides trying out some new features of the hidden blade, he also planned to make a simplified version of the hidden blade for Chiba Kazunobu, that otaku.

What is a simplified version of the hidden blade? It's a hidden blade made entirely of inferior materials. He only came up with the idea for this kind of hidden blade after mastering intermediate forgery skills.

Although this simple hidden blade can be controlled by wrist muscles to extend and retract, it is not very sensitive, so it is best to tie it to the back of the hand to avoid accidents.

However, considering that Chiba Kazunobu only intended to collect it, such details are not important. In fact, he tried his best to make the design of the hidden blade look as cool as it does in the game.

He was easily designing the hidden blade here, but on Professor Agasa's side, with the Animus device that Jiang Hang brought, which was about the size of a bed, he almost went into a state of madness.

In less than ten minutes, this tech guru would barge into Jiang Hang's room and ask him all sorts of questions.

"Who invented this amazing machine?"

"Am I really allowed to freely study this device?"

"Besides the almost fully mature virtual reality function, how exactly did they come up with the function that can try to trace back ancestral memories based on DNA? I've never heard of such a crazy theory before!"

It's clear that even Professor Agasa can't understand how the Animus works.

Faced with these questions, Jiang Hang could only cite his background as an example.

"This is a new industry developed by the Foundation. It's still in the experimental stage, and I don't know much about the specifics. I only know some basic operating functions. Just be careful when you're researching it. This machine is probably still very imperfect, and its ability to recall ancestral memories is also somewhat limited. Some problems may occur during operation, so it's best to use its virtual reality function for now."

His gaze fell on Shiho Miyano beside him, and it was clear that she was also quite interested in the purpose of the Animus device.

"Before I left the organization, I heard that the organization's second-in-command, Rum, was having people research virtual reality devices, but I didn't expect that you had already gone to such a deeper level of research."

Finding one's ancestors through genes is nothing new, but being able to trace back one's ancestors' past memories through genes and project them into a virtual reality device, allowing one to personally experience that past, sounds incredibly incredible.

It can be said that this is a machine that is completely ahead of its time!

Chapter 334: Chapter 332: The Animus Device

Jiang Hang was certainly aware of the effects of the Animus device, since the Assassin's Creed series was essentially based on this concept.

Even though he already knew about the Animus's functions in the game, he was still deeply shocked when he saw and experienced the device for the first time in real life.

And after much persistent pleading, he finally managed to get the Assassin's Creed memories from his own system on this machine.

In these memories, he truly transformed into an assassin master who could only be controlled by a mouse and keyboard, and the freedom he gained after entering virtual reality was far greater than that of computer games.

Of course, this device is perfect for Jiang Hang in most aspects, but the biggest problem is the bleeding effect, which does not seem to have been resolved in this version of the Animus device.

The so-called bleeding effect, a term specific to Assassin's Creed, refers to the phenomenon where, if someone spends too much time in virtual reality, they may experience hallucinations in reality after leaving the device.

This adverse effect has been resolved in later generations of devices, but Jiang Hang only received the initial version, the one that appeared in the first Assassin's Creed game, which still cannot prevent the bleeding effect.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, Jiang Hang seems to be prone to bleeding effects.

This could happen if he spends more than two hours a day in the Animus device.

Although with the system's help, he wouldn't have any major problems as long as he rested for a while.

He has a perfect game in front of him, but he can only play it intermittently for two or three hours a day. It's as frustrating and annoying as being forced to turn on anti-addiction mode even though he's an adult.

He wanted to solve the problem himself, but it was a problem that a poor student like him couldn't solve.

He even harbored some ill intentions, wondering if his system was afraid he would spend all his time inside the Animus device, and that was why it was using this method to restrict his use of the device.

But clearly, even if he did do such a thing, his system would definitely not acknowledge it.

Therefore, after acquiring the device and making no progress beyond using it to unleash devastating attacks in virtual reality for some time, Jiang Hang decided to leave it to more specialized individuals for further research.

Among the people he knows, are there any who are more professional and more trustworthy than Professor Agasa?

If Dr. Agasa can find a way to resolve the bleeding effect, that would be ideal.

Even if he can't figure it out, he won't suffer any loss.

Moreover, as long as Dr. Agasa can figure out a way to mass-produce this virtual reality device, Jiang Hang plans to immediately start a game company. Then, he can still work as a detective and become the world's richest man with this groundbreaking virtual reality device without much trouble.

As expected, Dr. Agasa's reaction was exactly what he had anticipated. After seeing the device and learning about its function from Jiang Hang, Dr. Agasa stared intently and ran off to study the Animus device.

Judging from his appearance, if he doesn't figure out something from this machine, he probably won't be able to get a good night's sleep for a while.

Looking at Professor Agasa's expression, Shiho Miyano shook her head slightly: "If the organization knew about the existence of this device, they would probably go to any lengths to obtain the blueprints for its manufacture."

"The value of this instrument cannot even be measured in money. Do you really trust us that much?"

It's clear that even though she's been away from the organization for some time, Shiho Miyano still maintains a skeptical attitude towards everything.

"If you don't trust anyone, then that would be a rather pathetic situation," Jiang Hang shook his head indifferently.

Jiang Hang generally doesn't have any wariness towards Professor Agasa, Conan, or other people he's known since childhood.

He also knew very well that although the potential value of the Animus device was astonishing, Dr. Agasa simply had a strong curiosity about technology that he didn't understand, and would never betray him for money.

Jiang Hang's intended meaning was actually quite simple, but for some reason, after he said those words, Shiho Miyano's expression seemed to undergo a subtle change.

She turned her head away: "I'm just suggesting that you think carefully about the consequences before making decisions in the future. If you trust the wrong person, it could bring you unimaginable disaster."

"Didn't you ever consider that I might go back into the organization for some reason and tell them about you?"

If you tell them about me, it's not me who should be worried; it's the boss at the distillery who should be.

Besides, I've arranged to meet Vermouth later to exchange information. If I were to say that out loud, you'd probably feel like dying, right?

Jiang Hang thought to himself that he had indeed contacted Vermouth not long ago, and she had arranged to meet him today.

Of course, he couldn't possibly say such a thing.

"So, do you want to go back to the distillery?" Jiang Hang asked Shiho Miyano in return.

“Who would want to go back to a place like that?” Shiho Miyano shook her head without hesitation. “But I’m just telling you that the possibility does exist.”

"I will still trust you until you actually do something like that," Jiang Hang replied with a smile.

He didn't notice that Shiho Miyano's complexion seemed brighter than usual.

"By the way, you can also use that device to conduct some simple experiments. You can introduce your genes into the device for testing, and maybe you can find a way to completely turn Conan back to his original form more quickly."

"However, you should be careful not to use it for too long each day, otherwise it would be quite troublesome if any side effects occurred."

Jiang Hang reminded Shiho Miyano of this, but when Jiang Hang suddenly brought up the topic of turning Conan's body back into Shinichi Kudo's, Shiho Miyano's expression immediately changed back.

She seemed to be recalling the scene of Conan coming over every day to inquire about the progress of the antidote development.

It's already incredibly difficult to research the side effects of an unfinished drug, which occur with a very low probability. If Jiang Hang hadn't told her about what she had been doing for nothing, she might not have made any progress in developing the antidote by now.

However, she quickly looked at Jiang Hang again.

"Didn't you say before that you would help me develop an antidote? I don't know how to operate this device, so I'll leave the operation to you. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Chapter 335: Chapter 333: Are you going on a date with another woman?

To be honest, although Jiang Hang said he would assist Shiho Miyano in researching the antidote, apart from initially providing Bai Gan's antidote idea and then briefly analyzing the ingredients and principles of drug A with Shiho Miyano, he basically didn't get involved in the antidote research and development.

Since Professor Agasa is currently researching the Animus device, it won't be easy to get him, who's in a mad scientist mode, to stop what he's doing.

So after hearing Shiho Miyano's invitation, Jiang Hang went with her to her laboratory and accompanied her on what was now her umpteenth research experiment on the antidote for APTX4869.

Medical experiments can be described as an extremely tedious and boring process, which is also a process of constantly repeating various failures.

Even Jiang Hang, who possesses advanced expertise in using poison, is no exception.

After all, the difficulty of making poison is quite different from that of making antidote.

In Jiang Hang's mind, there are dozens or even hundreds of poison formulas that will kill a person in less than half a minute if they ingest them. When these formulas for these fast-acting poisons were created, the antidote was never considered.

There are also highly corrosive substances like high-concentration sulfuric acid, which are considered extremely poisonous by normal people. If someone were to drink it, there is no antidote that could restore them to their original state.

So his mastery of poisons, besides allowing him to easily create deadly poisons using various common items, basically only helps him avoid being poisoned and maintain his health.

During the research process of the antidote for drug A, he at most acted as a master of poisons, judging the feasibility of Miyano Shiho's antidote idea.

Of course, the most important point is that in reality, he doesn't have the focused aura that the system provides in training or learning spaces. He's a lazy homebody, and if he's allowed to lie on the sofa or bed watching anime or playing games, he can stay awake for days without doing anything except eating, drinking, or using the restroom.

But if he were to sit and study a dull and abstruse professional book in real life, and record all kinds of experimental data, he would feel like he was going to die of boredom after doing that for half an hour.

After recording another set of data, Jiang Hang couldn't help but look at Shiho Miyano, who was standing in front of the workbench, intently staring at the experimental equipment in front of her.
