The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Miyano Akemi was certainly not stupid. Jiang Hang suddenly arranged a team building activity, and the preparations were so rushed.

It seems like Jiang Hang made the decision on a whim, but thinking about it carefully, it would be strange if there wasn't any connection between the two. She had just learned that Akai Shuichi had returned to Japan with his "ex-girlfriend" and Jiang Hang had informed her about traveling to Kyoto.

Because of his own personal matters, Jiang Hang directly dragged hundreds of people from the entire company out for a three-day trip to relax. Miyano Akemi did a quick mental calculation of the expenses for this trip and felt somewhat uneasy.

In comparison, the news of Shuichi Akai's return to Japan didn't bother her as much.

After chatting with the Miyano sisters for a while, Shiho Miyano finally vented all her complaints and sharp tongue at him, and then she turned back into the quiet, beautiful girl she always was.

It's just that Jiang Hang seems to have a bit too many women around him now.

Sakaki Shizuka and Koharu Yuno, his two personal assistants, naturally wouldn't wander off, and Miyano Shiho and the others didn't seem to intend to let Jiang Hang out of their sight any longer.

Later, Midori Imai also joined the "protection" team. If he hadn't been so familiar with the female staff at Da Bao Film and Television and Yingdu Photography, he thought those women might have come over to join in the fun.

Surrounded by five beautiful girls with different styles, Jiang Hang was fine when he was talking to Shiho Miyano. But once he noticed, and then saw Conan's amused look, he felt a little uncomfortable.

As an assassin, one must be able to blend into the crowd in the shortest amount of time at any time, becoming the most inconspicuous person among them.

Even if one were a detective, they shouldn't be in the public eye before a case occurs.

His current situation seems far too conspicuous.

Wherever he goes, people look at him with strange eyes, regardless of whether they are employees of his company or not. They might even be thinking to themselves that their boss is really good at playing games.

It was only the appearance of the group of reckless teenagers that relieved him.

These women seemed afraid he might disappear at any moment, so they surrounded him and asked all sorts of questions. He really wasn't good at dealing with these kinds of things.

He felt more relaxed playing with the kids than with them.

He didn't realize that being surrounded by a group of women, and then having a bunch of children around him, would make things even more likely to be misunderstood.

He called out to the simple-minded Genta, who was counting the number of hands on the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, and summoned the group of kids from the "Teenage Reckless Kids Club" over.

"Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, did you have fun these past few days?"

The kids in the Junior Detective Club naturally had a very high level of affection for Jiang Hang. After all, it's rare to find an adult who treats them to delicious food and fun activities every day and listens to them attentively.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's question, the three of them immediately began to talk at once about what they had seen and heard over the past two days.

Chapter 367: Chapter 363: Unraveling the Outsourcing Mystery

There are no complicated things to do when dealing with kids. Although these little devils in the Junior Detective League are precocious and always like to cause trouble, they are still young and haven't been beaten down by society.

If you use the right approach, it's quite easy to get anything out of them.

Jiang Hang only said a few kind words to them, and the simple-minded Yuan Tai told them everything about the dream he had last night.

Jiang Hang patted their heads in a very friendly manner. Hmm... Genta's head is round and chubby, so it might feel better to hit it than to hit Conan's head.

Ayumi, upon seeing Conan lounging not far from Jiang Hang, exclaimed with delight, "Ah, Conan, you're finally back! We didn't see you all day yesterday, and everyone thought you'd gotten separated from us. Genta was so worried he almost went to the police."

Mitsuhiko added from the side, "We only found out later when we went to Yuno-neechan to ask about you that you actually went to investigate the case with Brother Jiang Hang."

Genta looked at Conan with some annoyance: "Honestly, you don't even tell us when there's a case. This could be a great opportunity for the Junior Detective League to show off in Kyoto! Conan, don't forget you're still a member of the Junior Detective League. If this happens again, I'll have to impose internal sanctions on you!"

Upon seeing Conan, the three kids immediately focused their fire on him.

Watching these kids interrogate Conan about the details of yesterday's case, and after hearing about the cipher map, they pestered Conan even more, wanting to find out what was on that cipher map.

Speaking of which, the first case the Junior Detective League solved involved a coded map containing maple leaf coins, and thanks to Jiang Hang's appearance, the group of kids found the treasure without encountering any danger.

Perhaps they still believe they are really good at solving the riddles in the ciphers.

Under their insistence, Conan glanced at Jiang Hang with a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Hang thought for a moment, then nodded at Conan.

Now that the Genji Fireflies have all been captured, there is no danger in letting them study this cipher map.

Although the Junior Detective League kids mostly don't do anything serious, they've provided Conan with a lot of clues for solving cases, so maybe they can actually figure something out.

With Jiang Hang's consent, the Junior Detective League kids quickly obtained a copy of the cipher map from Conan.

Then they sat there, holding the cipher map that was full of pictures, and seriously studied and discussed it using the experience they had gained from the last time with the Maple Leaf Gold Coins.

Seeing this, the girls around Jiang Hang seemed to have noticed the coded message as well.

After all, according to Jiang Hang, this coded map is related to the whereabouts of a priceless Buddha statue, and even Jiang Hang himself has not yet deciphered the secret of this coded map.

Under the curious gazes of several girls, Jiang Hang naturally had no choice but to take out the coded diagram and let them study it.

Of course, Jiang Hang still reminded them not to spread the coded map too widely, in case some unscrupulous person deciphered the secrets on the map before them and stole the Buddha statue again.

As for Jiang Hang's mindset when he distributed that coded map, it was quite simple:

Take it, take it. Anyway, I'm not good at these kinds of puzzle games. If any of you can solve the mystery of this cipher map, I'll come to you for help whenever I encounter similar cipher puzzles in the future.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm suddenly rise, Jiang Hang thought for a moment and decided to strike while the iron was hot and add a prize.

"You'd better hurry, because the famous Osaka detective Heiji Hattori is also trying to decipher this coded image. But if you can solve the mystery of this coded image before him, I can give you a mysterious gift!"

Upon hearing about the mysterious gift Jiang Hang mentioned, not only the girls but even the kids in the Junior Detective League were captivated.

"The mystery gift...it's not a year's supply of eel rice, is it?!" Genta thought smugly to himself as he looked at the mountain of eel piled up in front of him, then turned to Conan with a serious expression and said, "Conan, we have to work hard to decipher the code! This is your chance to redeem yourself!"

It seems that even after knowing Conan for so long, Genta still knows very well who is the leader in his team, and he directly called out Conan to stop slacking off.

Conan sighed helplessly at this.

Do you think I don't want to decipher the code? The problem is, there really aren't any more clues now. All we can do now is wait until this afternoon to go to Yulong Temple and see if we can find anything new.

Because of a coded map and the mysterious gift promised by Jiang Hang, the small groups around Jiang Hang were immediately separated.

The Junior Detective League, the Miyano sisters, and the Shirobako trio with Yoshino Kiharu as assistants each began their investigations in their own way.

Among them, the Junior Detective League appears to be the weakest on the surface, while the three-person team that serves as Jiang Hang's assistants is the strongest. However, the actual strength of the three teams is not like that.

While the Detective Boys' minimum skill level is only able to break through the surface, with Conan as the main character, their maximum skill level is also incredibly high. As long as the other kids don't hold them back and allow Conan to perform freely, they can basically win without lifting a finger. If they can also provide some help, they can completely crush the opponent and take the high ground in one fell swoop.

Next up are the Miyano sisters. Shiho Miyano is intelligent, and Akemi Miyano is shrewd and intelligent as well. Although their deductive reasoning skills are not as advanced as Conan's, they are the most stable duo.

The position of the three assistants is still somewhat awkward.

Before they met Jiang Hang, they had basically no in-depth experience in reasoning.

Although they are now working hard to catch up, and the industry template has boosted their learning efficiency, they have only been in this industry for a short time. Moreover, Shizuka Sakaki's greatest talent is in her voice, Midori Imai's talent is in writing, and Yuno Koharu's talent is in management. Their talent ceiling in reasoning is indeed not as high as Conan's and Shiho Miyano's.

Now that they've encountered a case, the only option they can have is to make up for their shortcomings with hard work, to gather intelligence from various places, and then try to find useful clues from that intelligence.

However, considering that Conan and Heiji Hattori, the two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai, have been thinking about this coded map for more than a day without any clues, perhaps it is the assistant team, who are best at intelligence work, who have discovered some useful information and solved the mystery?

After outsourcing the decryption work, Jiang Hang suddenly felt much more at ease, and he could finally visit the temple in peace.

Chapter 368: Chapter 364: The Arrival of Toyama Kazuha

By noon, the different groups of investigators were showing noticeable differences in their behavior.

Even while eating, the assistant team was still using their phones to investigate information about Kyoto and Minamoto no Yoshitsune. If they found anything suspicious, they would discuss it among themselves.

The Miyano sisters were much more laid-back, simply eating their meals quietly. However, judging from Shiho Miyano's furrowed brows, she was definitely still thinking about the cipher map.

In comparison, the kids in the Junior Detective League are much more active.

After watching Conan examine the cipher map for over half an hour without offering any constructive suggestions, and then trying to find a similar pattern in Kyoto by asking a tour guide, just like they had done with the maple leaf gold coin case, but to no avail, their initial enthusiasm for solving the mystery quickly waned.

When it was lunchtime, they readily put the matter of the cipher map aside in the face of the delicious food and began to happily enjoy their meal, planning to rest and recharge before discussing the cipher map again.

Even now, Ayumi is still singing two children's songs that she just learned from the tour guide, which are called "ball songs" by the people of Kyoto. According to Ayumi, these two songs are used by children in Kyoto to familiarize themselves with the names of the streets in Kyoto.

One is "Marutake-Ie," which runs horizontally from north to south, and the other is "Tera-Miyuki," which runs vertically from east to west. These are old children's songs that have been popular since the Meiji period.

However, judging from Conan's helpless expression, he had no interest in these two children's songs that were well-known to everyone in Kyoto.

But what really surprised Jiang Hang was not the appearance of the three groups of members, but Hattori Heiji, who had looked so confident early in the morning.

Heiji Hattori looked rather listless, and judging from his appearance, it was clear that all his investigations this morning had probably been a waste of time—of course, don't misunderstand, Jiang Hang's surprise wasn't about that, but rather about the pretty girl with the ponytail who had been with Heiji Hattori.

Could it be that Heiji spent the whole morning trying to persuade this guy, but instead found his first love instead?

Jiang Hang thought this with some doubt.

In Detective Conan, childhood friends are supposed to have the strongest bond. Shinichi and Ran's relationship is so solid, so is something going to happen to Heiji Hattori instead?

Of course, the truth is obviously not as dramatic as that.

With a helpless expression on his face, Heiji Hattori's introduction allowed Jiang Hang to quickly learn the girl's identity.

Kazuha Toyama, Heiji Hattori's true childhood friend, can be seen in a way as a replica of Shinichi and Ran's relationship.

Upon learning the other party's identity, Jiang Hang instinctively thought of the phrase "catching someone in the act of adultery."

Heiji Hattori sneaked into Kyoto to investigate a case and, incidentally, search for his "first love" from years ago. He even spent the night in Kyoto.

Kazuha Toyama, back in Osaka, was probably getting more and more confused, thinking that even if Heiji Hattori found his first love, she would still have to stay on the sidelines and see what this so-called first love was all about.

So she simply bought a train ticket early this morning and came to Kyoto to find Hattori Heiji.

Instead of finding the imagined rival, she saw Hattori Heiji staring blankly at a coded diagram, and was then brought to Jianghang by Hattori Heiji.

Similarly, this was also the first time that Toyama Kazuha met Jiang Hang, and she greeted him somewhat cautiously.

She was quite familiar with the name Jiang Hang.

For the past few months, she had been hearing Hattori Heiji constantly mentioning the surname Kudo, and during that time she almost began to see this so-called Kudo as her new rival in love.

As a result, ever since Hattori Heiji went to Tokyo a while ago, the name he keeps mentioning besides Kudo has become Jiang Hang.

Compared to Kudo's genderless surname, Jiang Hang's suddenly appearing name, which didn't sound Japanese, quickly caught Toyama Kazuha's attention. After some curious questioning, she finally learned about Jiang Hang from Hattori Heiji.

A famous detective who has emerged in recent months, but is quite magical and mysterious.

Even Heiji Hattori usually looks serious when talking about Jiang Hang, believing that the other party is a formidable opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Under Hattori Heiji's influence, Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but have all sorts of strange speculations about Jiang Hang, whom he had never met before.

But seeing Jiang Hang today, Yuanshan and Ye felt it was a bit too bland.

Jiang Hang is naturally good-looking, but for some reason, Yuanshan and President Ye felt that there was something strange about his temperament.

Given Jiang Hang's status, he should have been the most conspicuous person in the crowd, but when they actually met, the other party didn't feel that way at all.

For a fleeting moment, Kazuha Toyama even felt that the other person could disappear completely from her sight in the blink of an eye by disappearing into the crowd, but when she came to her senses, the feeling had completely vanished.
