The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Watching the players cheering and jumping for joy on the field, especially when one of the young players who scored two goals and completely secured the victory for the team was excitedly waving in the direction of Conan and the others, Jiang Hang couldn't help but look at Conan, who was a little embarrassed, beside him with a smile.

"It seems this newly crowned champion striker has a good impression of you?"

Conan was somewhat speechless, after all, his soccer skills were undeniable, and when he first entered high school, many people invited him to play professional matches.

If he weren't someone whose ambitions lay elsewhere and who simply treated football as a personal hobby, he probably would have earned a reputation as a talented striker in the league by now.

Although his body has shrunk, he hasn't lost his years of experience playing football. If he were to reveal it to someone who knows a thing or two, it would definitely leave them speechless.

Conan then told Jiang Hang about his experience of meeting Akagi Hideo.

A few months ago, when Hideo Akagi had just transferred to Tokyo Spirits for a high price, he was envied by his former teammate. So, when no one was paying attention, the former teammate took his younger brother back to his home and deliberately pretended to be a kidnapper to call Hideo Akagi before his match, threatening him not to score in the following game.

Ultimately, the case was easily solved with Conan's help, and after learning that Conan also liked soccer, Akagi Hideo frequently invited Conan to watch his games.

According to Conan's thinking, Akagi Hideo probably discovered his talent in soccer by accident, and may even have regarded him as the hope for the next generation of Japanese soccer.

Perhaps according to Akagi Hideo's idea, although Conan is only 6 years old now, he is actually only 19 years old. In more than ten years, when Conan grows up, he will only be in his 30s. At that time, they can still represent the Japanese national team in the World Cup.

Unfortunately, Akagi Hideo's plan was destined to fail.

If Ran were put in the picture, Conan might hesitate for a moment, but if Conan had to choose between soccer and deduction, even if he had to choose a hundred or a thousand times, he would only choose deduction and not soccer.

Chapter 402: Chapter 398: Sakata Yusuke's Advanced Talent

After the game, Jiang Hang first took Conan and the Detective Boys home before heading to the restaurant that Nichiuri TV had booked to discuss the program.

For Jiang Hang, appearing on a detective show that would enhance his reputation was certainly an option, but some things needed to be clarified beforehand.

Even now, Jiang Hang is not the type to like to show his face in public. Apart from his appearance circulating within the Metropolitan Police Department, his photos are nowhere to be seen.

Besides, it's a bit too much for an assassin to be out in the public eye all the time, even appearing on TV.

Therefore, Jiang Hang's request was that he be able to put on some disguise when appearing on the show.

The Japanese TV station staff found this request rather strange, but Jiang Hang demonstrated in front of them how he could completely transform his facial features by simply smearing some mud-like substance on his face and wringing it.

In addition, Jiang Hang changed his voice, which immediately stunned the people at the Japanese TV station, and they immediately agreed to Jiang Hang's request.

It's all about disguising yourself, isn't it? Many girls look completely different before and after removing their makeup, so it's not strange that Jiang Hang would disguise himself a little.

If they just perform this magic-like disguise skill on TV in front of the audience, wouldn't the ratings skyrocket?

So the matter of appearing on the show was quickly finalized.

After that, Jiang Hang tentatively inquired with the people selling Japanese television stations about the procedures for individuals to obtain a television station business license or to acquire a television station.

He definitely can't acquire the Japanese television station; even becoming a shareholder wouldn't be that easy.

Although the total market value of Nichiri Television is estimated to be only around 10 billion yen, and it is not one of the five major private television stations in Japan, it is still considered the second core of the Japanese television network.

If we were to compare the network of the five major television stations to gangs in a martial arts novel, then the five television stations would be the leaders of their respective gangs, and the television station would be like the leader's wife in that gang.

If Jiang Hang were to try and steal her away, the Japanese TV station would probably come after him with a knife on the spot.

However, while Nichiri TV is not doing well, other smaller TV stations are still fine.

After learning that Jiang Hang had the idea of ​​starting his own television station, the people at Rima Television thought that Jiang Hang just had too much money to burn. However, they still owed Jiang Hang a lot of favors. Therefore, they told Jiang Hang about many small television stations that were not doing well and might go bankrupt or be transferred, and they were willing to act as a go-between for Jiang Hang.

Of course, this kind of thing should obviously be left to professionals.

In addition, a contract needed to be signed for the collaboration with Nichiri TV, so Jiang Hang immediately called over Chihiro Ayasato, whom he hadn't seen for a while, to help out.

Hearing that Jiang Hang had already started considering acquiring the television station, Chihiro Aya, who had rushed over from her own office, couldn't help but gently rub her forehead.

Although this type of work accounts for the majority of a law firm's income compared to civil and criminal cases, Jiang Hang's impulsive spending habits are truly extravagant.

Jiang Hang has had her fill of spending money, but tonight she'll have to study the legal documents related to the acquisition of the TV station.

After finalizing the agreement for Jiang Hang to participate in the program, witnessing Jiang Hang's incredible disguise skills firsthand, and then telling Ayato Chihiro about several TV stations they could contact, the people from Nichiri TV hurriedly left. Tonight, the police had already reported on the case, and Nichiri TV was currently very busy.

Jiang Hang's situation was much easier, since he didn't need to deal with those TV stations.

Ayato Chihiro will investigate the specifics of these TV stations for Jiang Hang in the next few days. Jiang Hang only needs to decide which TV station he prefers before proceeding with further negotiations.

After entrusting all these matters to Ayasato Chihiro, Jiang Hang leisurely went to the art museum to meet with Sakata Yusuke.

Yusuke Sakata seems to be living a relatively stable life at the art museum these days.

Having passed the Assassin's Potion test and gained a clearer understanding of his true thoughts within the illusion, Yusuke Sakata's mental state was now much better than before.

He is now working hard to master the art of disguise so that when he goes out in the future, no one will realize that he was once a criminal.

Jiang Hang chatted briefly with the other party, confirmed that there were no major problems with the other party's current living environment, and then carefully observed Sakata Yusuke's potential in the industry template.

Having witnessed the monstrous talents of the Miyano sisters, whose entire pages were filled with advanced abilities, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh upon seeing Sakata Yusuke's talent, realizing that there truly are differences between people.

Most people have around 5-10 talents, and most of them are at the intermediate level. Having two or three advanced talents is considered quite good.

People with more than 15 talents are already extremely rare, and among those with more than 20 talents, only the Miyano sisters have been personally confirmed by Jiang Hang.

Of course, Conan, Heiji Hattori, and other protagonists in this world obviously possess a great deal of talent, but because they are not employees of Jiang Hang's businesses, Jiang Hang really cannot confirm how many talents they have.

Sakata Yusuke's talent wasn't actually as much as Miyano Shiho's; he just barely broke through the 20 mark, but his advanced talents were quite good.

Advanced Assassination Talent, Advanced Reconnaissance Talent, Advanced Driving Talent, Advanced Information Technology Talent, Advanced Disguise Talent...

If Yusuke Sakata can fully realize these talents, he may very well become a master assassin in the future.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Hang assigned the Advanced Disguise talent to Sakata Yusuke to speed up his mastery of disguise. Once the other's disguise skills reached the intermediate level, he would switch to the Assassin talent and use the Animus's ability to train Sakata Yusuke as an assassin.

After chatting with Yusuke Sakata for a while and confirming that everything was normal on his end, Jiang Hang left with peace of mind.

Back at his office, after feeding Altaïr, Jiang Hang unlocked the Bajiquan skill he had obtained last time, preparing to experience firsthand just how powerful this Bajiquan, whose entry-level difficulty was even higher than advanced fighting techniques, truly was.

Then Jiang Hang slept soundly for the first time in a long time, not waking up until almost noon the next day.

When Jiang Hang regained consciousness, the first thing he did was to curse loudly.

"Damn, this is way too difficult!"

Chapter 403: Chapter 399: The Cursed Spider Mansion?

It's not surprising that Jiang Hang made such a remark.

This was the first time that, even with the support of the training space, he had spent an entire night trying to add a skill to his character panel without success.

It's important to understand that training space and learning space are not the same thing.

The learning space is opened up by the system so that he can learn and master the abilities that the system did not provide at the time. The space has a focus aura provided by the system and will also provide him with relevant books. However, how to study is entirely up to him. It is like a highly efficient study room.

Jiang Hang had previously calculated that the speed at which he mastered a basic skill in the learning space was about 10 to 20 times that of ordinary people outside.

It can be said that he can achieve the same effect as a year of study in reality by studying in the learning space for half a month.

The learning space sounds impressive, but it's actually quite inferior to the training space.

The training space is a special space that Jiang Hang can only enter when he masters the skills rewarded by the system. Its auxiliary effects in improving attention, enhancing comprehension, and improving memory are much better than those in the learning space.

In addition, the training space also has a series of courses specially designed for him by the system. It can be said that he has a top-notch teacher as his private tutor throughout the entire process, and he will continue to teach him until his ability reaches the corresponding level.

On one side is a study room, and on the other side is a private tutor. Naturally, there is a significant difference in efficiency between the two.

Of course, the most important point is that the training space has the function of accelerating thinking.

When he first went to learn advanced poison mastery, he died 305 times in one night in the training space before he finally mastered it.

The idea of ​​dying 305 times in eight hours in one night is roughly one death every 40 seconds, but in reality, the time frame couldn't possibly be that tight.

In Jiang Hang's memory, he probably spent at least several hundred hours in the study space that night before he raised his Poison Mastery to the advanced level.

Based on this calculation, the acceleration of thought in the training space should be at least 50 times.

He diligently practiced in the training space for an entire night, feeling as if he had been training there for almost a month. However, according to the system's evaluation, he was still halfway to the system's recognition of his entry-level Bajiquan skills.

Multiply this 50 times by the 20 times learning space, and take into account his current progress, it can be said that even a talented person, under the guidance of a famous teacher, would need to spend five or six years to barely get started.

"With such a high level of difficulty to get started, I wonder how much effort it will take after you get to the basics. Even for someone with talent, it would take at least thirty or forty years to master Bajiquan," Jiang Hang muttered to himself.

Thinking about the inhumane training he experienced in the system space last night, Jiang Hang even felt that being poisoned to death 305 times during his poison mastery training was a minor incident.

Most importantly, if he hadn't suddenly remembered to ask how long he had been training in the training space, he might have stayed in bed until evening, and Shizuka Sakaki and the others would probably have called an ambulance immediately.

In fact, it was quite surprising for Sakaki Shizuka and the others that Jiang Hang slept until noon today.

After all, the meditation sleep method they have mastered was personally taught to them by Jiang Hang. With this sleep method, they can fall asleep in just a few minutes when they lie in bed, and they only need five or six hours of sleep to maintain their energy for the whole day.

Jiang Hang usually goes out for morning exercise and does some quests early in the morning. This is the first time they have seen Jiang Hang get up so late in all the time they have known him.

Seeing the concerned looks in his two assistants' eyes, Jiang Hang naturally couldn't say that he had overstudied and that was the cause of his overstudy. He could only briefly explain what had happened yesterday afternoon and give himself an excuse for staying up all night to look up information, which was enough to dispel their doubts.

"So something like that happened yesterday afternoon," Yuno Kiharu exclaimed in surprise. "To want to take revenge on the TV station just because the bank robbery failed? That's too extreme."

"If he were normal, he wouldn't be thinking about robbing a bank." After briefly complaining about yesterday's case to Jiang Hang, Shizuka Sakaki laid out all the case files they had compiled that morning in front of him.

Although Jiang Hang had already reviewed most of the requests when he got home yesterday afternoon, he had to admit that Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu's organizational skills were getting better and better.

In just one morning, they had basically figured out the basic details of these commissions. Even the commission letter that directly sent money to invite Jiang Hang to come over next week was found to contain a lot of valuable information by Sakaki Shizuka and her team.

"According to our investigation, the place that sent the letter of authorization is known locally as the 'Spider Mansion of Puppet Peak,' and anyone who gets close to that place will be cursed."

"There have been three suicides in the past three years. The first two were three years ago, and the most recent one was just a few days ago."

"The police also went there to investigate, but the final examination results all indicated suicide. To this day, no one knows why those three people committed suicide."

This information was certainly not just gathered from the internet. Sakaki Shizuka and the others had maintained good relationships with many police officers during their months as assistants. Jiang Hang usually dealt with patrol chiefs and inspectors like Takagi and Inspector Megure, while they dealt more with lower-ranking patrol chiefs and ordinary patrol officers.

During their recent trip to Kyoto, they became friends with Kazuha Toyama in Osaka. The address on the letter of request wasn't a secret, so there was no need to hide it. As a result, Shizuka Sakaki and her friends were able to easily obtain firsthand information from the police.

Jiang Hang frowned slightly as he looked at the information that Shizuka Sakaki and the others had collected.

When he received the letter of authorization, he knew that the request would be troublesome, but judging from what Shizuka Sakaki said, his judgment yesterday seemed to have been too optimistic.

Three suicides in three years, the cursed Spider Mansion, the mysterious letter of commission—all these things combined make Jiang Hang realize that this commission will definitely involve the complex grudges and feuds of several generations of a family.

Chapter 404: Chapter 400: Who wouldn't want to be an armchair detective?

Although Jiang Hang felt that this would definitely be a rather troublesome commission, the more troublesome the commission, the greater the reward it would obviously bring him.

If Jiang Hang hadn't just returned to Tokyo from Osaka, he would have been thinking of making a surprise trip to Tottori Prefecture the next day to see how the client who had invited him to come next week would react to his early arrival.

"Continue investigating this case and see if anything unusual has happened in that area in the past few years. If you can contact the client directly and find out what his client's request is in advance, that would be best."
