The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"As expected, there were still problems with this trip," Shizuka Sakaki, sitting a few rows behind Jiang Hang, muttered to Midori Imai in a low voice, seemingly not in a very good mood.

"Have you noticed that Jiang Hang has been staring at that person a lot since he boarded the plane?"

Imai Midori had never met Miyano Akemi before, but after Sakaki Shizuka pointed out Miyano Akemi's location, Koharu Yuno recalled for a moment and quickly remembered her.

"Are you talking about Ms. Yami?" Yoshino Kiharu carefully recalled the pseudonym Jiang Hang had given Miyano Akemi out of his own mischievousness. "She is the main person in charge of the Beika Art Museum. We've met before, haven't we?"

Sakaki Shizuka clearly knew more about Miyano Akemi's situation: "She was specially hired by Jiang Hang, and their relationship seems quite unusual..."

Sure enough, when it came to gossip, especially gossip about Jianghang, these girls seemed to have a completely different interest.

The girls who interact with Jiang Hang almost every day naturally know his personality very well. Although Jiang Hang is always able to grasp the psychology of criminals when solving cases, in daily life, he is a complete straight man when it comes to emotions.

Even now, Nishiko Miho, who was rescued by Jiang Hang during the Miho no Ogre case, still sends some snacks to Jiang Hang's office every now and then.

Moreover, the way Nishiko Miho looked at Jiang Hang was clearly not just a simple expression of gratitude to anyone with normal eyes. However, Jiang Hang has not responded at all, and has only told them to buy more things from the pastry shop where Nishiko Miho works.

But in Shizuka Sakaki's mind, the relationship between this "Masami Nagasawa" and Jiang Hang seemed to be more intriguing.

“The first time we met Ms. Yami was at the agency, right? According to Jiang Hang, she had just arrived in Tokyo and didn’t have time to rent an apartment, so Jiang Hang let her stay at the agency for one night,” Shizuka Sakaki analyzed. “Moreover, I asked the people at the art museum, and she’s the one who takes care of Jiang Hang’s eagle there. You’ve all seen Jiang Hang’s eagle; if it’s not someone Jiang Hang trusts, he wouldn’t let anyone touch it.”

At this point, Shizuka Sakaki could be said to have fully utilized the intelligence-gathering abilities she had acquired during her months working under Jiang Hang.

"Furthermore, I've heard that Ms. Yami seems a bit distracted while working at the art museum these past few days. Perhaps something has happened," Shizuka Sakaki analyzed. "Maybe something has happened to Ms. Yami, and Jiang Hang wanted to comfort her, but was afraid of making his intentions too obvious, so he specially arranged this group trip?"

"You mean, Jiang Hang has feelings for Miss Yami, and this group trip was all for her sake?" After listening to Sakaki Shizuka's analysis, Imai Midori looked at Sakaki Shizuka with some surprise.

Imai Midori glanced furtively at Miyano Akemi, who was sitting by the window on the plane, looking at the scenery outside: "While Ms. Masami is indeed quite beautiful, I feel like Shizuka-senpai is overthinking things. Mr. Jiang Hang doesn't seem like that kind of person at all!"

Yoshino Kino nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Jiang Hang doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this."

It seems that Yoshino Kiharu has her own different opinion. She looked at Shiho Miyano next to Akemi Miyano and said, "If I had to say, I think it's more likely that he's after Ai Haibara next to Akemi Miyano."

Ai Haibara is still the pseudonym that Shiho Miyano uses to the outside world, and she is also Akemi Miyano's younger sister. As for why the two sisters have different surnames, it is not complicated to explain, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Miss Ai?" Imai Midori, who usually doesn't pay much attention to Jiang Hang's private life, also didn't recognize the other person. She could only look at Kiharu Yuno curiously, waiting for Kiharu Yuno to reveal the other person's identity.

Yoshino Koharu briefly explained Shiho Miyano's identity to Midori Imai.

"She is Ms. Yami's younger sister. She had been studying abroad and only recently returned to Japan. It is said that she is not even twenty years old yet, but she is already a medical doctor. She is currently working in the research institute of Dr. Agasa, who often deals with Jiang Hang. It seems that all the funding for her research project was invested by Jiang Hang."

“She usually stays in the research institute to conduct research. I have only met her once in a while. She doesn’t seem to like appearing in front of others. When I asked Jiang Hang, he only told me that she is a super genius and is researching a drug that can change the world.”

Yoshino Koharu looked at Shizuka Sakaki and continued her analysis: "I think that although Ms. Aya appeared first, it is possible that Jiang Hang chose to get on good terms with her sister first in order to win over Ms. Ai."

After Yoshino Kino got to this point, Midori Imai probably understood what Yoshino Kino meant: "You mean, Jiang Hang actually has his eye on Miss Haibara, so this group trip was organized by Jiang Hang for Miss Haibara?"

Yoshino Koharu nodded: "I hadn't figured it out yet, but after Shizuka's reminder, I've just figured it out a little bit."

"The main reason for this trip is that Miss Yamei has been having some relationship problems lately. It's not that Jiang Hang wants to comfort her, but rather that Miss Ai doesn't want to see her sister so depressed, so she asked Jiang Hang for help. That's why Jiang Hang decided to take a group trip to help Miss Yamei relax."

Yoshino Kiharu added, "Because no matter how I look at it, I feel that although Jiang Hang is an irredeemable straight man, if he really has feelings for a woman, he wouldn't use such roundabout ways to comfort her, but would instead give her the most direct and straightforward answer."

Regarding Yoshino Kino's judgment, Midori Imai also seemed to think it was more likely: "That's what I think too. After all, I can't imagine Mr. Jiang Hang trying to please other people."

"But Yuno, how did you figure out that Ms. Masami was having relationship problems?" Midori Imai asked curiously.

“This is just my own guess. If she works for Jiang Hang, she won’t encounter any troubles at work. And if there were any changes in Ms. Yami’s family, Ms. Ai’s mood shouldn’t be too good either. But I just glanced at it, and it’s basically Ms. Ai who’s taking the initiative to talk to Ms. Yami, and Ms. Ai doesn’t seem to be having any major emotional fluctuations,” Kiharu Yuno said, resting her chin on her hand. “Didn’t Sherlock Holmes say that if you eliminate all the impossibilities, what’s left is the truth? Career and family can be eliminated, so what’s left is only feelings, right?”

As Yoshino Koharu said this, she seemed to sense something and turned to look at Conan, who was sitting there watching the three of them discuss with a helpless expression.

Although the three of them had controlled their voices during their discussion, Conan, who was sitting next to them, could definitely have heard some of it if he listened carefully.

"Conan, is there anything else you want to add?" Yuno Kiharu looked at Conan with some curiosity.

Because Conan frequently visits the agency and is nominally Jiang Hang's disciple, and often displays a thoughtful demeanor that doesn't seem like that of a child when he's at the agency, Koharu Yuno doesn't usually treat Conan like a child.

"No, no, Yuno-neechan and Shizuka-neechan, both of you made very good deductions, I have nothing to add," Conan quickly waved his hand at Yuno.

He didn't want to get involved in the girls' gossip.

He naturally knew the reason why Jiang Hang was going on this trip: two FBI agents from Japan had come, one of whom was Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend. Jiang Hang would not hide this from him.

Although the girls were just talking about gossip related to Jiang Hang, it was quite surprising that they were able to arrive at a conclusion that was not far from the truth, based on these fragmented clues, aside from things they definitely wouldn't know.

After all, just a few months ago, when Jiang Hang had just hired Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu as his assistants, Conan wondered if Jiang Hang was planning to do something to the two of them by hiring two people who knew nothing about deduction as assistants.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Hang did nothing to these girls in the past few months. On the contrary, their reasoning skills have improved dramatically compared to a few months ago.

Could it be that Jiang Hang is also very skilled at teaching people?

Conan then looked closely at the girls beside him, wanting to hear what they were still saying.

At this moment, Yoshino Koharu suddenly asked Shizuka Sakaki, who was sitting next to her.

"Hey, Shizuka, I feel like your mood has suddenly improved a lot. Just now you seemed to be in a bad mood?"

Suddenly having her secret revealed by her best friend, Shizuka Sakaki looked flustered.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset: "I guess I was just not used to flying at first, but I'm getting used to it now. And it's normal to feel excited about arriving in Kyoto soon. I've never been to Kyoto before!"

Chapter 347: Chapter 345: Just how much have you been hiding from me?

It doesn't take long to fly from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Soon, their large group arrived in Kyoto, a city with a thousand-year history.

From the Heian period in the 8th century to the 19th century, Kyoto was the capital of Japan. Over this period of more than a thousand years, the city of Kyoto has witnessed the changes of various eras in Japan.

Even today, Kyoto still boasts a wealth of historical sites and remains a hub of traditional Japanese culture.

In Tokyo, unless there's a festival or celebration, it's quite rare to see people wearing kimonos on the street.

In Kyoto, there are significantly more people wearing kimonos. Walking on those old streets with hundreds of years of history, one can't help but feel as if they have traveled back hundreds of years.

It's November now, the perfect season for admiring the autumn leaves. And in this city dyed red by maple leaves, visiting and appreciating the historical sites is truly a unique experience.

The tour guide from the travel agency was telling Jiang Hang about the places they were going to visit in the next few days.

When traveling to Kyoto in autumn, the places to visit are mainly the various shrines and temples, as well as the spots suitable for viewing autumn leaves.

Jiang Hang didn't really care where he went for travel. For the Japanese, this ancient city could evoke all sorts of feelings, but for him, the things that had happened in this city and the traces left behind didn't evoke any particular emotions.

If Jiang Hang really had any ideas, it would simply be to draw some cards in the game as a memento when he visited the former residences or places where certain celebrities had lived.

To avoid any accidents, Jiang Hang kept Conan and the Detective Boys, those kids who loved to court death, by his side, otherwise any signs of recklessness would appear.

He came to Beijing for a vacation. If he came across some minor cases, it wouldn't be a problem to handle them. But he didn't want to encounter a murder case during his vacation.

However, one thing surprised him: Shizuka Sakaki and the others had somehow gotten together with Shiho Miyano and the others.

Although Shiho Miyano is indeed the same age as Shizuka Sakaki and the others, one is one of the heroines of a youth anime, and the other is the "bitter and resentful" second female lead in a detective manga. Seeing these people walking together, Jiang Hang couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.

However, things are pretty good as they are now. If Shiho Miyano can improve her relationship with Shizuka Sakaki and the others, he won't have to worry about her staying in the lab every day like an autistic scientist.

Jiang Hang was now walking at the back of their tour group, keeping an eye on the Junior Detective League kids to keep them from running around, while chatting with Conan.

"Are your Ran and Uncle Mori still in Tokyo?"

“Uncle Mori is going to Yoko Okino’s concert, so he’s staying at home,” Conan shrugged. “Ran said she had to take care of Uncle Mori, so she didn’t come over.”

Similar to Jiang Hang, Conan wasn't very interested in these ruins either. Their conversation quickly shifted to the distillery and the two FBI agents who had recently arrived in Japan.

"I never expected that Ms. Jodie would be an FBI agent," Conan remarked, but also seemed somewhat puzzled. "If that's the case, why did she become a teacher at Teitan Middle School?"

At first, Conan thought the other party was someone sent by the Black Organization to investigate his disappearance, but since the other party appeared with Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend, the FBI agent, this suspicion could basically be ruled out.

But this led to a host of new problems arising in Conan's mind.

Shuichi Akai left the brewery two years ago, and in the past two years he should have regained his FBI identity. Why would he suddenly return to Japan at this time?

Conan wasn't too concerned about Shuichi Akai returning to Japan with his ex-girlfriend, but the reason why Ms. Jodie appeared at Teitan Middle School was something that made him think deeply.

"The explosion at the pharmaceutical company where Shiho Miyano works is no small news. According to Shiho Miyano herself, she has been working there for the brewery since she returned to Japan. If Shuichi Akai follows the news here, he will definitely know about this."

"Furthermore, when Miyano Akemi was sent to rob a bank, she sent Akai Shuichi a farewell email. It's not surprising that Akai Shuichi wants to return to Japan to find out about the fate of Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho," Jiang Hang said.

"As for being a teacher at Teitan Middle School... perhaps they think there are people from the brewery infiltrated there. The FBI definitely has more intelligence than we do, and nobody knows what they really know."

Jiang Hang didn't reveal Vermouth's situation, which was an unspoken understanding between him and Vermouth, but it would be alright for him to remind Conan.

"Are there people from that organization inside Teitan Middle School?" Conan pondered carefully. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Jiang Hang, and he asked with some suspicion, "Have you found out something again? I feel like you've uncovered quite a few clues recently."

Seeing Conan suddenly become so sensitive, Jiang Hang couldn't help but spread his hands: "Actually, it's not an important clue."

"I recently got an informant, he's an undercover cop, you should know about that, right?" Jiang Hang had mentioned the Infernal Affairs incident to Conan, so Conan quickly nodded to indicate that he knew.

“When he was a police cadet, he had a few close friends, and one of them became a public security police officer after graduating from the police academy. Later, he was also sent by the Ministry of Public Security to become an undercover agent.” Jiang Hang looked at Conan. “That’s right, just like you thought. The organization that police officer went undercover in was the liquor company, and he also obtained a liquor name as a code name in the liquor company.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Conan's eyes widened, and even his breathing became rapid.

"You mean, you've already made contact with the mole within that organization?"

Jiang Hang neither admitted nor denied this: "In short, I can indeed obtain some information from the distillery, but it won't be easy to overthrow the distillery with this information."

Jiang Hang wasn't lying. Vermouth was indeed infiltrating Teitan Middle School under the identity of Araide Tomoaki, and Amuro Tooru was indeed an undercover agent sent by the Public Security Police to the brewery. Although he obtained the brewery information from Vermouth, he didn't say who he got the information from.

It's just that the things he deliberately omitted in the middle caused Conan to misunderstand.

Then Jiang Hang casually mentioned some information he had obtained from Vermouth, such as which traitors the organization had previously purged and what actions they were planning to take recently. Even if Conan were told this, he wouldn't get too excited.

If Jiang Hang were to tell Conan directly about Gin's recent mission, Jiang Hang would be genuinely worried that Conan would impulsively rush over to stop him.

It's best to leave the teasing and playing with Gin to him.

"You've actually investigated that organization this far?" Conan couldn't help but sigh. Since he met Jiang Hang, Jiang Hang had been involved in almost everything related to the Black Organization. Now, he's basically done nothing, but Jiang Hang has already found an undercover agent within the organization and started cooperating with him.

“That’s all,” Jiang Hang shook his head. “What we know now is that there have been undercover agents from the FBI and the Japanese Public Security Bureau inside the distillery, as well as those who were eliminated because their identities were exposed. In other words, not only us, but many intelligence organizations around the world are investigating the distillery. Although their purposes are not the same, and they don’t even know each other’s identities, one thing is very clear.”

Jiang Hang held up one finger: "So many intelligence organizations are in contact with the distillery, and the distillery itself knows a little about it. However, over the years, the distillery has continued to secretly develop its own power, and there may even be the tacit approval of those intelligence organizations involved."

Conan nodded heavily.

These intelligence organizations are not to be trifled with; there must be a reason why this criminal organization, the distillery, has been able to exist for so long.

He seemed to want to say something more, but Jiang Hang interrupted him directly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We're here on vacation, so this isn't the time to discuss this. Let's talk about the distillery when we get back," Conan was just too sensitive; once the topic of the distillery came up, he couldn't stop talking about it.

"By the way, remember to be careful. We're here for vacation, not to investigate a case. You'd better control your skills. I don't want my employees to be having a happy vacation while I, as their boss, have to suffer running around the city collecting evidence."

Hearing Jiang Hang's complaints, Conan couldn't help but retort, "Don't talk about me like that. I heard Mu Chun complaining to me about you just a few days ago, saying that wherever she goes with you, something bad happens."

Jiang Hang's lips twitched. Why was Yoshino Kiharu telling Conan these things for no reason?

"That was just an accident I happened to have once in a while. It's much less likely than you encountering a murder case every few days."
