The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Seeing that the girls were still preoccupied with the case, Kazuha Toyama suggested to Heiji Hattori that they stay another day before going back, as they gradually became more familiar with each other.

"Although the case is solved, Heiji, you still haven't found your first love, right? It wouldn't hurt to spend another day in Kyoto!" In order to stay, Kazuha Toyama even used the first love that Heiji Hattori had been thinking about all these years as bait.

However, upon hearing the words "first love," a rare look of embarrassment appeared on Hattori Heiji's dark face.

Clearly, he had realized, through the nursery rhyme he had heard earlier, that the beautiful girl he had seen at the Sannoji Temple years ago seemed to be the same person as Kazuha Toyama standing before him.

Aside from the shared mistake in the children's song, when returning the Buddha statue to Sanno-ji Temple, Toyama Kazuha, who knew nothing about it, revealed that after changing into her kimono at her relative's house, she wanted to show it to Hattori Heiji, so she went to Sanno-ji Temple to find him.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find Hattori Heiji at the time, and could only play under the cherry blossoms at Sannoji Temple for a while before going back by herself.

With things said to this extent, even Conan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, and Jiang Hang, who was only a half-baked detective, could see that if Hattori Heiji still couldn't guess the truth of what happened back then, then he shouldn't be a detective.

Feeling the increasingly amused gazes of the two people watching him, Hattori Heiji rubbed his nose and didn't tell Toyama Kazuha the truth.

If I were to say this out loud, I'd probably be laughed at by Toyama Kazuha for the rest of my life.

You absolutely must not say it out loud; even if you die, you must keep it buried in your heart!

With this in mind, Hattori Heiji coughed and then, somewhat guiltily, agreed to Toyama Kazuha's request to spend another day together.

Anyway, it's only a day. Going out for a day of fun and then going back to seclusion won't have any impact. At most, I'll just have to keep a low profile in front of Jiang Hang for that one day.

However, to Heiji Hattori's surprise, that very evening, Kazuha Toyama extended another invitation to the assistant team to spend a few days in Osaka.

After all, Osaka and Kyoto are only 50 kilometers apart, and it only takes half an hour by train.

Moreover, Osaka's food is in no way inferior to Kyoto's scenery.

"We've been taking care of you for the past two days, so we'd like to invite you to come to Osaka for a couple of days."

The invited group, including Shizuka Sakaki, seemed somewhat hesitant.

After all, they are Jiang Hang's assistants. This three-day vacation with Jiang Hang has already made them very happy.

Now, if they were to go to Osaka for a few more days with Kazuha Toyama, they would feel a little embarrassed.

Jiang Hang glanced at the Miyano sisters beside him. This three-day trip was supposed to be to help Miyano Akemi relax, but it took them two days to solve the case.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in traveling, since he was already out, going to Osaka for a couple more days to enjoy the local cuisine seemed like a good idea, and it would also make up for the time he had spent solving the case.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang waved his hand and decided to take his assistant and the Miyano sisters to Osaka for two days after their three-day trip to Kyoto.

Of course, this time there's no issue with company employees.

It was already troublesome enough that the employees of several companies had to get together for a team building trip, and adding Osaka would probably require a lot of changes to the itinerary. He didn't want to be gossiped about by the management of those companies late at night.

Similarly, the Junior Detective League kids also had to go back to school after playing outside for three days. After all, their leave period was over, and they couldn't delay the children's studies any longer. Even Conan was no exception.

Although Hattori Heiji really didn't want to get too close to Jiang Hang right now, Toyama Kazuha took the initiative to extend an invitation, and Jiang Hang readily accepted. So, he could only force a smile and welcome Jiang Hang and the others to Osaka together.

Shiho Miyano, on the other hand, felt uneasy for some reason.

Given Jiang Hang's mysterious ability to cause cases wherever he goes, could it be that their sudden change of direction to Osaka means they'll also encounter some troublesome cases there?

Of course, she only thought these things to herself, after all, she was still a scientist who believed in science.

So, after their three-day trip to Kyoto, and watching the employees of those companies fly back to Tokyo, Jiang Hang and his group turned to take the Shinkansen to Osaka, Japan's second-largest city.

Chapter 376: Chapter 372: Did I really steal Conan's Death Aura?

On the night they arrived in Osaka, Jiang Hang and his group randomly found a hotel that looked decent and checked in.

As for Hattori Heiji, Jiang Hang defeated him fair and square (?), so since Jiang Hang has come, he, as the host, naturally has to treat Jiang Hang and his group well.

“I’ve already told my dad about you guys, and they’re very happy to see you. After all, you’ve become quite famous lately,” Hattori Heiji said to Jiang Hang, sounding a bit perfunctory. “If nothing unexpected happens, the Osaka police station will even send someone over tomorrow to be your tour guide. Not everyone gets to enjoy that kind of treatment.”

"A special advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, you solved a case on the spot while it was being filmed on TV, and just now you solved a serial murder case in Kyoto and caught a member of 'Genji Hotaru' who stole a lot of precious cultural relics and antiques. It's unbelievable that you've only been a detective for a few months."

Heiji Hattori and Shinichi Kudo both officially became detectives and solved cases starting in high school, and it has been more than a year now.

Furthermore, they actually helped the police solve some cases during their junior high school years, so the timeline might be even longer.

Jiang Hang is different. He suddenly appeared like a shooting star a few months ago, and then solved several major cases at an astonishing speed. Coupled with his excellent reputation, he is now considered one of Japan's top detectives.

Even Hattori Heiji's stern father spoke highly of Jiang Hang on the phone.

Jiang Hang was fine with this, but Shizuka Sakaki and the others were somewhat flattered by what they heard.

After all, they now know the identities of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha's fathers.

Heiji Hattori's father is the Superintendent General of Police in Osaka, one of only 20 such elite officers in all of Japan. In Osaka, all the police officers have to obey his orders.

Kazuha Toyama's father was also the head of the criminal investigation department of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and his police rank was only one level lower than Heiji Hattori's father.

To be welcomed by such an important figure, Jiang Hang must have a lot of influence.

Jiang Hang's expression didn't change much in response.

After all, ever since he transmigrated here, one absurd thing after another has happened. His current image at the brewery is that of a Templar Knight who controls the world order. Compared to that, what does it matter if he knows a few high-ranking Japanese officials?

All he wants now is to rest and recharge for tomorrow's culinary adventure.

Meanwhile, Shizuka Sakaki and the others were in their room discussing and reviewing the mistakes they made in the Genji Hotaru case, trying to avoid repeating the same errors in similar cases in the future.

Judging from their expressions, besides recording Jiang Hang's case-solving process as the "standard answer," they also need to compile a collection of incorrect answers.

Only Shiho Miyano was in her room, gazing at the starry sky outside, lost in thought.

Seeing that her younger sister looked troubled, Miyano Akemi went over and quietly asked her what was wrong.

Shiho Miyano shook her head slightly. Ever since arriving in Osaka, the feeling of oppression in her heart had become increasingly heavy. She always felt that something would happen during their trip to Osaka.

It might even lead to connections with the organization.

But there's no need to tell her about this and make her sister worry.

Moreover, with the disguise skills taught to them by Jiang Hang, as long as they don't show any weakness, even if Gin stands in front of them, he won't be able to tell anything.

In short, she should be careful for now and only go to Jiang Hang when she really discovers any problems.

Thinking about Jiang Hang's abilities calmed Miyano Shiho down a bit.

Jiang Hang was able to break into the organization's laboratory and take her away from the organization's clutches when she was about to take APTX4869, and the organization has not been able to find them since.

The background of the Pioneer Foundation behind Jiang Hang is equally unfathomable. Even if they were to confront the organization head-on, it seemed to her that Jiang Hang's side might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

She was unaware that Jiang Hang had secretly made contact with Vermouth, a traitor within the brewery, and even less aware that the brewery had almost been wiped out by the Pioneer Foundation decades ago.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't even have the slightest worry right now.

The next day, Jiang Hang got up early as usual to complete his daily exercise routine.

Although these daily exercises can no longer improve his physical fitness, the monetary reward for completing them is still quite tempting. So unless he can't find any free time, Jiang Hang will still set aside forty minutes every day to complete this task.

After jogging for about ten kilometers around the streets near the hotel and completing his daily task, Jiang Hang took a short breather and headed back towards the hotel.

As Jiang Hang walked downstairs at the hotel, he saw Hattori Heiji arriving with Yuanshan and Ye Kai on a motorcycle.

"You haven't forgotten to train even after arriving in Osaka? You're really diligent," Hattori Heiji said, looking much better after resting at home for a night. He greeted Jiang Hang first.

“My dad said last night that he wanted to come and meet you in person, but because there seems to be a new murder case in Osaka these past two days, he went to the police station early this morning for a meeting. I guess he won’t be able to come until he’s done there,” Hattori Heiji explained simply, then shrugged. “Even the guide we were supposed to meet will probably have to wait until the police station meeting is over before he can come.”

Kazuha Toyama quickly added, "However, we can go and take a look at some nearby places first. Tsutenkaku Tower is not far away, which is also a famous building in Osaka, and its status is similar to that of Tokyo Tower."

Once on someone else's turf, Jiang Hang naturally followed the host's arrangements in everything. However, he was more concerned about the case than anything else.

How come a murder case occurred in Osaka just yesterday?

Thinking about how the number of murder cases kept increasing even without Conan around, while the number of cases at the Mouri Detective Agency had decreased significantly, could it be that he really stole Conan's death god aura?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This must just be a coincidence.

Moreover, even Heiji Hattori only mentioned the case casually, without showing any urge to investigate it. This case definitely has nothing to do with their trip to Osaka!

Chapter 377: Chapter 373: The Fallen Corpse!

The name Tsutenkaku sounds like the name of a pavilion, but it is actually an observation tower, just like Tokyo Tower.

At 100 meters tall, it is naturally not as tall as Tokyo Tower, but the view is still quite expansive. As a landmark building in Osaka, you can take in a large part of Osaka from the top of the tower.

Although Jiang Hang, this unromantic man, was only thinking about whether he should come over to get a bird's-eye view when no one was around at night, and also to speed up his progress on the feather quest in this new map.

But Shizuka Sakaki and the other girls still had a lot of fun at Tsutenkaku Tower.

If Hattori Heiji could only act as a half-baked tour guide in Kyoto, then in Osaka, even an average tour guide probably couldn't compare to Hattori Heiji, who knew every street and even every building in Osaka like the back of his hand.

Just like Conan, who has the map of Tokyo memorized, Heiji Hattori also knows the entire map of Osaka by heart.

On the recommendation of Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, Shizuka Sakaki also solemnly visited the Tsutenkaku Tower to pray to the god of fortune who is said to help people pass exams, probably hoping to be selected in the next voice actor audition.

"Later I'll take you to Kuromon Market for lunch. It's a hub for Osaka's culinary delights, and you'll find authentic flavors you've never tasted in Tokyo. In the afternoon, we can visit Tennoji Zoo, and tomorrow we'll go to Osaka Castle Museum. If we still have time, we can also go to a shopping center in Osaka and buy you some local specialties to take back..."

Heiji Hattori spoke eloquently to Jiang Hang about the sightseeing plans he had arranged, and it was clear that as a native of Osaka, he had great confidence in his city.

Jiang Hang waved his hand at Hattori Heiji halfway through the conversation, saying, "Alright, alright, you should tell these things to the girls. I just need to follow you these next couple of days. You don't need to tell me the specific arrangements."

Seeing Jiang Hang's easygoing expression, Hattori Heiji wanted to say something more, determined to let Jiang Hang experience the charm of Osaka.

A phone call interrupted what he was about to say.

After answering the phone, Hattori Heiji listened to a few words from the person on the other end, nodded a few times, told them their current location, and then hung up.

"The 'entourage' my dad found for you has arrived, and they even came in a police car to pick you up. Isn't that pretty good treatment?"

Hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Jiang Hang raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Is it some kind of custom in Osaka to send a police car to greet guests?

However, with the arrival of the police guide, Jiang Hang quickly learned what was going on.

He was a young detective with a buzz cut, wearing glasses, and looking even more honest and simple than Wataru Takagi.

"I'm sorry, I was delayed by a meeting and only just got here now."

The young police officer gave Jiang Hang a brief self-introduction: "Hello, Advisor Jiang, I am Yusuke Sakata from the First Investigation Division of the Higashijiri Precinct of the Osaka Police Department. I am here to receive you on the instructions of Superintendent General Hattori."

Jiang Hang shook hands with the young detective, Sakata, but as they shook hands, he seemed to smell a very faint scent of blood on the man.

The smell of blood was very faint. If Jiang Hang hadn't possessed the blood of an assassin and his physical abilities hadn't already surpassed those of ordinary people, making him almost as powerful as Makara, the Greek demigod from Assassin's Creed, and given that the two had been in close proximity when they shook hands, Jiang Hang might not have been able to detect the smell of blood on the other person.

Jiang Hang didn't think much of it. After all, the officer in front of him, Officer Sakata, was a detective from the First Investigation Division, a front-line detective who dealt with murder and kidnapping cases every day. It was normal for him to have some blood on him.
