"I...it was just an accident, it wasn't something I wanted to happen to," Conan's momentum noticeably weakened after mentioning the incident.

Just as Jiang Hang was about to press his advantage, a sudden exclamation came from a nearby alley.

"Robbers! Robbers!"

Upon hearing the exclamation, Jiang Hang and Conan reacted almost instantly.

In a nearby alley, a middle-aged man riding an electric scooter had just snatched a wallet from a woman in a kimono and was now heading in their direction.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang and his group of tourists, the middle-aged man shouted menacingly from the car, "If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

Upon suddenly encountering this situation, the people in front of Jiang Hang instinctively moved to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the robber's car.

Conan reacted quickly, instinctively taking the soccer ball out of the soccer belt invented by Professor Agasa.

However, Jiang Hang was even faster than him.

Before Conan, the soccer hero, could take out a soccer ball to launch a guided shot at the robber, Jiang Hang simply took a few steps forward, stood in front of the robber, and before the robber could react, he forcefully pulled the robber off the car!

The whole process was completed in an instant, and even the robber himself did not expect that he would be pulled off the car so easily.

After pulling the other person out of the car, Jiang Hang immediately grabbed them and pinned them to the ground.

Immediately, the robber who had been uttering threats began to cry out in pain and beg for mercy on the ground.

Seeing that people were starting to gather around, Conan, without anyone noticing, shoved the soccer ball he had just taken out back in.

As the robber cried out in pain on the ground, the woman in the kimono whose wallet had been stolen came over. After retrieving her wallet from the robber, she quickly thanked Jiang Hang.

"Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, you should be fine," Jiang Hang smiled at the other person.

Then he looked at the tour guide who had just come from the front of the group and whose face looked rather grim.

Jiang Hang waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. You can continue leading the team to the next attraction. I'll call the police here and wait for them to arrive before I come to find you."

The tour guide then focused his gaze on the face of the robber captured by Jiang Hang. After a slight hesitation, he leaned close to Jiang Hang and whispered a question to him.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, do we need the Himegami Group's help to resolve this matter?"

This travel agency was recommended by Himegami Sakura and Jiang Hang before, so it's no surprise that the tour guide is also part of the Himegami group.

Himegami Sakura originally recommended this travel agency to reduce unnecessary trouble during her trip. Now that this kind of thing has happened, she naturally stepped forward to ask Jiang Hang if they should ask Himegami Group to help handle it.

Jiang Hang glanced at the tour guide who had made the suggestion, then shook his head.

"Let's just forget about it and leave it to the police to handle."

Chapter 348: Chapter 346: An Unexpected Encounter with Hattori Heiji

If the Himegami group were to handle this matter, Jiang Hang knew with a grain of salt that it would simply involve beating the robber to a pulp and giving him a lesson he would never forget.

Although it sounds straightforward, Jiang Hang prefers to solve problems in the normal way most of the time.

Just like Jiang Hang's current combat strength is already among the top in this world, but he doesn't usually only think about using force to deal with enemies.

After this little incident, Sakaki Shizuka and the other girls originally wanted to stay and wait for the police to arrive with Jiang Hang. However, Jiang Hang said it was okay, so in the end only Sakaki Shizuka stayed as his assistant, while the others continued to follow the tour guide to the next attraction.

Jiang Hang has now figured out the identity of the woman in the kimono who was robbed. Her name is Yamakura Tae, and she is the owner of a teahouse nearby.

The woman in a kimono next to her, with white paint on her face, is Chika Rin, a maiko from the teahouse.

They were probably heading to a nearby teahouse to prepare for their daily opening. Since they were wearing kimonos without any pockets, they usually just kept their wallets in their hands. Over the years, nothing had ever gone wrong, but no one expected something like this to happen today.

When they heard that Jiang Hang had brought over a hundred employees from his company to Kyoto for a special trip, they, despite being the victims themselves, actually apologized to Jiang Hang: "We are so sorry to have made you witness such a scene. In fact, Kyoto is usually very safe, and robberies are extremely rare. We hope it won't affect you."

As she said this, she took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Hang, as if to say that Jiang Hang and the others could visit her teahouse anytime they had time.

Jiang Hang's enjoyment of the trip was naturally unaffected. He could easily complete a mission and earn several million yen by simply taking a stroll around and subduing a robber. In addition, with the "remote crime-solving subsidy" from the system, such an ordinary robbery could bring Jiang Hang more than ten million yen in income. It could be said that he instantly earned back the expenses he had spent on organizing this trip for hundreds of people.

He can make these kinds of deals so easily that doing more of them won't dampen his enthusiasm.

Moreover, he subconsciously believed that Conan, who suddenly unleashed his powers, was the one who caused all of this to happen.

For some reason, Jiang Hang had a feeling that he might be in trouble soon. Although it was just an ordinary robbery, there might be some major case happening around him or Conan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, no matter how careful you are when you go out with Conan, the cases will still come after you.

Seeing Jiang Hang's sudden sigh, Shizuka Sakaki, who was standing next to him, looked at him with some concern.

"Jiang Hang, are you alright? When I saw that person rushing over on an electric bike, I was quite worried that you might get hurt."

"If a robber of this level can hurt me, then I might as well quit being a detective," Jiang Hang said, glancing at the robber who was still under his control. Whenever the robber showed the slightest sign of struggling or resisting, Jiang Hang would increase the pressure on his hands, causing the robber to cry out in pain and beg for mercy.

Sakagi Shizuka carefully examined Jiang Hang and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that he hadn't suffered even the slightest injury.

However, Jiang Hang seemed to have thought of something and looked at Sakaki Shizuka with some doubt: "But weren't you at the front of the group? You noticed this guy as soon as he appeared?"

When Jiang Hang suddenly asked her this question, Shizuka Sakaki seemed a little flustered: "Um, um... didn't you always tell us that if we want to become famous detectives, we must always pay attention to everything around us so as not to miss any clues that we shouldn't miss, especially the things behind us? So when I'm walking, I always pay attention to whether there's anything behind me that I might miss."

"Did I say such a thing?" Jiang Hang scratched his face, seemingly unable to recall. After all, he often talked to Sakaki Shizuka and the others about things like "the qualities a famous detective should have." There were some things that Jiang Hang couldn't even repeat after he had already made up his own stories. But since Sakaki Shizuka said that, he must have indeed said something like that.

The police in Kyoto didn't seem to act as quickly as the police in Tokyo. It took Jiang Hang about twenty minutes after he called the police before a few sweaty officers arrived to handle the incident.

After arresting the robbers, they still needed to conduct a brief interrogation of Jiang Hang and the victim.

These were procedures that Jiang Hang knew all too well. He glanced at the police officers who had rushed over, who were constantly wiping their sweat, and casually asked during the questioning, "You must have just arrived from another scene, right?"

The Kyoto police officers seemed somewhat cautious in response to Jiang Hang's sudden questioning.

"This is a police secret, and we can't just tell anyone."

One of the police officers responded with that statement, and Jiang Hang didn't ask any further questions.

He is an advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so revealing that identity is naturally useful. However, if he reveals his identity and finds out the details of the case, and it turns out to be a tricky case, then his trip over the next few days will probably be completely ruined.

At this point, it's best to choose the Kyoto police. Even without the help of this third-rate detective from Tokyo, they're sure to be able to solve the case.

Besides, Kyoto is in the Kansai region. If there were any really difficult cases, it would be Hattori Heiji who would be the one who couldn't sit still. With Hattori, a famous detective whose reasoning ability is no less than Conan's, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference whether Jiang Hang goes or not.

After all, Heiji Hattori doesn't need to disguise his identity like Conan does; he has to rely on other people's "cooperation" to solve cases.

But perhaps it was all just a coincidence.

Just as Jiang Hang was thinking that this case could be handed over to Hattori Heiji, and the police officers had finished questioning him and were preparing to take the criminal back to the police station, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Jiang Hang? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Kyoto?"

Jiang Hang turned his head and looked at Hattori Heiji, who, apart from his dark skin, looked about 70-80% like Shinichi Kudo and was known as the Osaka Black Chicken. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Hey, what a coincidence! Kyoto isn't some small city, and Heiji Hattori lives in Osaka, right? Although Osaka and Kyoto are next to each other, I just randomly picked a day to come to Kyoto for a trip. How did I end up running into you, a guy whose death aura is almost as strong as Conan's?

As for Jiang Hang, after learning that Conan and the Detective Boys would be traveling to Kyoto with them, he already had several expectations for the outcome of this trip.

The best-case scenario is that Conan didn't use his powers, and everyone spent those three days peacefully and returned to Tokyo safely.

The middle level involves Conan using his powers, a case appears around them, Jiang Hang and Conan solve the case together, and then they return to Tokyo.

The more troublesome situation is, of course, the one we're currently facing with Hattori Heiji.

Given Heiji Hattori's personality, that case might not have had anything to do with Jiang Hang, but now that he's run into Heiji Hattori, he might be dragged into it by the other party.

After all, Conan and Heiji Hattori, as long as these two get together to form the "destiny of a great detective", the probability of a case occurring can be said to have exceeded 100%.

However, there is something to be thankful for. At least for now, the case is unlikely to occur in any of his companies, so at least the worst-case scenario hasn't happened yet.

Otherwise, if you take your employees on a trip to win them over and let Miyano Akemi and the others relax, but a murder occurs halfway through the trip, then forget about relaxing; it would be good enough if the morale of the employees didn't waver.

Hattori Heiji naturally had no idea that he was just passing by and casually greeted Jiang Hang, which would result in Jiang Hang having so many random thoughts in his head.

"We came here as tourists and encountered some minor troubles, so we helped resolve them," Jiang Hang said, though he was thinking that he would never ask Hattori Heiji for help. On the surface, he still smiled at Hattori Heiji.

"If I go to Osaka for tourism, I will definitely contact you. I didn't expect you to be in Kyoto now."

Upon seeing Hattori Heiji's arrival, the police officers couldn't help but glance at him.

It's clear that Hattori Heiji is quite famous in the Kansai region. After staring at Hattori Heiji for a while, one of the police officers hesitated before asking, "Are you... Hattori Heiji, the high school detective from Osaka?"

When he was recognized, Hattori Heiji wore a smug smile.

However, the next sentence the policeman whispered to his partner made Hattori Heiji's expression turn somewhat subtle.

"He is the son of the Osaka Police Chief and Hattori, and he is very famous in the Kansai region."

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched. The thing he disliked most was when others talked about him and then specifically mentioned his father.

But facing these Kyoto police officers he had never dealt with before, he could only force a smile and greet them before changing the subject and asking about what had happened.

After learning that Jiang Hang had just subdued a robber who was robbing people on the street, Hattori Heiji wasn't too surprised.

Back when the Sherlock Holmes fan case happened, Jiang Hang had already shown his skills when he subdued that extreme Sherlock Holmes fan.

Although it was only a brief exchange, it was clear that an ordinary robber could not possibly be a match for Jiang Hang.

"Not bad at all, you've solved another case as soon as you arrived in Kyoto." Watching the police officers take the criminal into the police car and leave, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but pat Jiang Hang on the shoulder.

Jiang Hang shrugged, indicating that it was just something he did on a whim.

"You know, even though Kyoto and Osaka are next to each other, you wouldn't just come here unless there's something important, would you?"

Hearing Jiang Hang's question, Hattori Heiji seemed a little surprised: "You didn't know? That case also happened in Tokyo, right? Aren't you an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department there? They should have told you about this."

Heiji Hattori had clearly been keeping an eye on Jiang Hang's situation. The police hadn't publicized his position as a consultant to the Metropolitan Police Department, and not many people knew about it. Heiji Hattori probably found out about it through the police's internal intelligence network.

It seems that the case Hattori Heiji mentioned is a serial murder case, and the killer appears to have committed crimes in both Tokyo and Kyoto.

Jiang Hang shook his head: "My role as an advisor only allows me to participate in some cases in a more legitimate way. I can't possibly pay attention to all cases. Inspector Megure and the others will only contact me when they encounter a very troublesome case."

Seeing that Jiang Hang was indeed unaware of the case, Hattori Heiji began to explain the recent serial murder case to him.

“Just a few days ago, a shrine in Tokyo reported to the police that three bodies had been found inside. Then, a murder occurred at a sushi restaurant in Osaka, and later, in the early hours of the morning, someone was murdered at a bar in Kyoto.” Hattori Heiji first revealed the identities of the murdered individuals and the locations of the murders.

"According to the police investigation, the five dead were all members of the notorious thief group 'Genji Hotaru'. This organization had been operating mainly in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto for the past ten years, targeting famous works of art or Buddhist statues in shrines."

“I think this series of murders is probably caused by some kind of internal conflict within this thief group,” Hattori Heiji said, then looked around. “They all address each other as ‘Minamoto no Yoshitsune’ and the names of his retainers. Kyoto was Yoshitsune’s main area of ​​activity during his lifetime, and it’s also where this thief group operates most frequently. So I wanted to come to Kyoto to investigate and see if I could find any clues.”

After explaining his main purpose, Hattori Heiji suddenly rubbed his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Of course, I also came here to look for my first love from back then."
