If it were just him and Takagi Wataru, it would be fine, but unfortunately they have a bunch of unruly kids around them who refuse to go home obediently.
Although Conan has gradually figured out how to deal with the kids in the Junior Detective League, it is undeniable that he has spent a lot of time dealing with them.
Just solving the hunger problems of a few children caused Takagi Wataru to suffer a significant financial blow.
However, the subsequent investigation went relatively smoothly. In the bar that the suspect, Higashida, used to frequent, they found a lot of information about the deceased and the suspect.
After obtaining more detailed information than what they had gathered during the day, the group decided to go to the crime scene for further investigation.
They had barely stepped out of the tavern when they were spotted by several passing police officers.
Takagi Wataru was immediately "controlled" by the police. He thought the matter was over, but in the blink of an eye, he learned from the police their original purpose and the shocking fact that Sato Miwako had been discovered by the police.
At that time, Conan was wondering who had found Sato Miwako and the others. When he arrived at the crime scene and saw Jiang Hang and his group preparing to leave, Conan's doubts were completely resolved.
"I should have thought of that long ago. Inspector Megure is so worried about the safety of his subordinates, and Jiang Hang is an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department. He's also very close to Inspector Megure. It's normal for Inspector Megure to ask him for help after this happened," Conan muttered to himself.
With Jiang Hang's abilities, finding out the whereabouts of Sato Miwako and the others wouldn't be difficult at all.
It's even possible that Jiang Hang has already uncovered the whole truth of the case during this period?
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, Conan secretly ran up to Jiang Hang and asked him about the current progress of the case.
Seeing Conan approach, Jiang Hang couldn't help but complain to him, "You can just wander around in an abandoned building and still run into a case. Plus that gun threat incident a few days ago, have your skills recovered recently?"
To be honest, most of the cases Jiang Hang has encountered recently have been passively delivered to him.
The cases in Kyoto and Osaka were brought to him by Heiji Hattori. After returning to Tokyo, two of the cases involved Conan, while only the Spider Mansion case was one where the client forced him to accept the job by sending him money.
.
Compared to that, it's like Conan's skills have returned to their peak.
Conan gave Jiang Hang a speechless look: "What can I do? We just stayed there rehearsing the show, and then the case just came knocking on our door. Anyway, let's not talk about this for now. You should tell me what happened at the crime scene as soon as possible."
After venting his frustrations, Jiang Hang briefly explained the current progress of the case.
Listening to the suspicious points left at the crime scene, Conan naturally immediately placed his suspicions on Kitagawa.
Just then, while they were questioning the tavern owner, Kitagawa sat there drinking alone.
Although when Takagi Wataru questioned him, he gave a perfunctory attitude, as if his superior and colleague had committed a heinous crime and been murdered, and he didn't want to say anything now.
But Conan had noticed the other person's expression at the time, and in short, he couldn't discern any complex emotions from his face.
At that time, Conan already had some suspicions about that man. He didn't expect that Jiang Hang's visit to the crime scene would greatly increase the suspicion surrounding Kitagawa.
"The mall's surveillance footage and the autopsy report—once we have these two pieces of evidence, Mr. Dongtian's innocence will naturally be proven." Conan made this judgment after hearing Jiang Hang's findings.
Of course, going directly to Kitagawa now and using these clues pointing to him to make him waver, and then using some rhetoric to lure him into a trap, is also an option. However, this approach seems too aggressive. Although it may be effective, if Kitagawa doesn't take the bait, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
In comparison, Jiang Hang's method is easier to implement.
Conan then looked at Jiang Hang and asked, "Are you going to wait for the autopsy results?"
Jiang Hang nodded: "It's a good opportunity to meet up with that friend I haven't contacted in a while and see how he's been doing. What about you?"
"If you go over there, then I'll stay and go to the mall. That way, we can communicate with each other promptly if we discover any new information."
Although Jiang Hang does give Conan a sense of security when he's a teammate, Conan also has the pride of a famous detective. If he always has to rely on Jiang Hang to solve cases, he would feel ashamed.
It's rare that this case has two breakthrough directions. Now that Jiang Hang has chosen one, perhaps if he chooses the other direction to investigate further, he can solve the case more quickly and thoroughly than Jiang Hang.
Chapter 419: Chapter 415: Bringing Asano into the Brotherhood?
Although Musashino is not one of the 23 core wards of Tokyo, it is located in the center of the Tokyo metropolitan area if viewed on a map.
Of course, for most Japanese people, when they talk about Tokyo, they are actually referring to the area included in the 23 wards. Although the areas outside are nominally under the jurisdiction of Tokyo, not many people would specifically add the prefix "Tokyo" when mentioning Musashino.
Jiang Hang was already very familiar with Musashino before he traveled through time.
After all, there was Musashino Milk, which appeared in A Certain Scientific Railgun, and Musashino Animation, which directly used Musashino as the animation company name in Shirobako. After getting to know Shizuka Sakaki, he also visited Musashino Animation once and even reached some cooperation with Musashino, asking them to help complete some chibi Ultraman promotional PVs.
Jiang Hang recalled that Musashino Animation had only recently announced its new project, and in the anime timeline, it was still at least half a year before the beginning of the first episode.
Given the treatment in the Japanese animation industry, Aoi Miyamori and the others are probably still working overtime there.
However, Jiang Hang did not come here to see Miyamori Aoi and Yasuhara Ema. After entering Musashino City, he followed the navigation and drove his car to the UDI Research Institute located on the edge of Musashino.
Perhaps it was because Asagi Minoru, a top student from the University of Tokyo's medical school, chose to switch careers to become a forensic pathologist, which drew attention to them, or perhaps it was because of a notification from the Metropolitan Police Department. In any case, when Jiang Hang and his group arrived at UDI, they were greeted by Director Kamakura, a former high-ranking official from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare who later became the director of the UDI Research Institute for some reason.
“I am Yasuo Kamikura, the director of UDI. I have received the request from the Metropolitan Police Department and can start the investigation immediately. The autopsy report will be ready by tomorrow morning.” This former high-ranking official, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, was extremely formal when facing Inspector Megure, a police inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department. You could not tell that the other man had a glorious past.
The matter of negotiating with the station chief was naturally left to Inspector Megure to handle, while Jiang Hang looked at Asano Minori, who was standing behind him, smiling and greeting him.
After some time apart, Asahi's demeanor has changed considerably.
Previously on Moonshadow Island, he wore women's clothing without any sense of incongruity, and even when he changed back into men's clothing, he still looked quite handsome.
In addition, at that time he was focused on avenging his father. Although he always put on an energetic appearance, a closer look revealed his inner unease.
Now, Jiang Hang has stopped his path of revenge in advance. His father's killers have already received their due punishment in court, and Asahi no longer needs to pretend.
It's quite normal for Asano's temperament to change after she has released her original self.
Moreover, after switching careers to become a forensic pathologist, Asagi Masayuki, who deals with corpses all day long, looks much more disheveled than before.
"It seems your life has changed quite a bit since you became a forensic pathologist," Jiang Hang greeted Ma Shengshi. "Transitioning from a regular doctor to a forensic pathologist, even with your prior experience, must not have been easy."
Asagi nodded frankly: "Yes, at first I thought I could become a full-fledged forensic pathologist in just a few months, but after learning more about it, I found it wasn't that easy. I had to complete the autopsies of 200 corpses and publish relevant papers. Fortunately, my colleagues at the research institute were very supportive and helped me a lot. At the current pace, I estimate I will be able to become a full-fledged forensic pathologist after the New Year."
Jiang Hang nodded slightly.
Although forensic medicine is not yet a skill in his skill list, he has learned some related content in the learning space. Combined with his mastery of poison, advanced combat skills, and reconnaissance skills, he is not that far from becoming a beginner forensic medicine practitioner.
If he really wanted to acquire this skill, he could spend a week or two studying in the learning space every night and add it to his skill list.
As mentioned before, studying in the learning space for half a month is equivalent to the results of someone else's year of study, while Asagi Sakai has been a forensic pathologist for less than a quarter of the year.
Although Asagi had a medical background, Jiang Hang also had one, which shows Asagi's talent in this area.
Unfortunately, if Asahi were an employee of his company, and Jiang Hang could give him a talent upgrade, he probably would have become an authoritative figure in the field of forensic medicine in just one or two years.
However, upon thinking about this, Jiang Hang suddenly realized that the Assassin Brotherhood under his name could also trigger the training interface.
If we could bring Asano Minami into the fraternity, that would be pretty good.
Although this matter is still far from being finalized, Jiang Hang thought about it and realized that there was indeed some room for maneuver.
There are actually quite a few similarities between Asami Narumi and Yusuke Sakata.
Both had fathers who were murdered by a group of people, and both learned the truth by chance after growing up, and then began to plan their revenge.
At this stage, the difference between the two is that Asai Narumi had been preparing for this revenge for several years, and even created a female identity for Asai Narumi to deceive his enemies. Moreover, before the revenge plan was launched, he was not as decisive as Sakata Yusuke, and even had the idea of finding a detective to stop him from taking revenge.
Sakata Yusuke, on the other hand, was much more decisive. After learning the truth about his father's death, he completed and began to implement his revenge plan within a week. If it weren't for Jiang Hang's appearance, he would have already eliminated everyone and then ended his own life.
However, such a difference is not surprising. Asano Minori is, after all, a doctor who saves lives, while Sakata Yusuke is a detective in the investigation department. His main job is to arrest serious criminals. Given their completely different work environments, it is normal for their approaches to differ.
Given this situation, since Yusuke Sakata is willing to join his fraternity, Jiang Hang feels that he also has a high probability of bringing Asami, who has a similar personality, into his fraternity, as long as he can find a suitable opportunity.
Of course, the more important task now is to confirm the exact time of death of the victim in this case. The matter of winning over the other party can wait until after this case is over.
Chapter 420: Chapter 416: The Nakado Clan Who Has Dissected 3000 Corpses
With the help of the Metropolitan Police Department, Jabil Radio Station was quickly set up and put into use, even though it was nearly 10 p.m.
The only thing that surprised Jiang Hang was that the person in charge of the autopsy was not Asagi Shiki, who had just finished get off work and was called over by him with a phone call, but another middle-aged male forensic doctor who looked to be around thirty or forty years old.
After Ma Shengshi's introduction, Jiang Hang quickly learned the forensic doctor's name.
Nakado Kei is a senior forensic pathologist with over ten years of experience and more than 3000 autopsies. He is also the most skilled forensic pathologist at the UDI Institute.
Asahi is now considered a member of the Nakado Anatomy Group, and Nakado Kei is his current superior.
However, Masayuki also whispered to Jiang Hang that this forensic doctor Nakado had a bad temper and might swear a lot during the autopsy. If Jiang Hang were to watch from the sidelines, he might even be asked to do some work.
Listening to Asagi's honest complaints, Jiang Hang looked at the man in front of the dissection table with his dead fish eyes and naturally curly hair, and quickly recalled the man's identity in his mind.
The male protagonist in an unnatural death, but that sounds a bit strange.
After all, Unnatural is a female-centric drama, and the most important character in the drama is naturally the female lead, Mikoto Misumi. However, a considerable portion of the subsequent scenes focus on Nakado Kei, so it's normal to consider him the male lead.
However, there were no romantic scenes between him and the female lead in the drama.
To be precise, the female protagonist, Mikoto Misumi, only had one boyfriend at the beginning of the first episode, and they broke up at the end of the first episode. After that, the female protagonist devoted herself to her work and had no intention of dating at all.
Meanwhile, Nakado, the male character with the most screen time, spends the entire story investigating the whereabouts of the murderer who killed his lover years ago, without ever considering whether he, as the male lead, should have any romantic sparks with the female lead.
In short, as Jiang Hang gradually recalls the plot of his unnatural death, the image of Zhongtang Xi gradually becomes more three-dimensional in his eyes.
Since it's him, it's not surprising that he's here now.
After all, Ma Sheng is not a formal forensic doctor yet. Even if he can take some shortcuts in the certification process, he obviously still needs a professional forensic doctor to supervise the autopsy.
Aside from having a bad temper, Nakado Kei was quite dedicated to cadaver dissection. In order to have more time to spend on dissections, he practically treated the research institute as his own home, and even slept on the dissection table at night.
As long as you can tolerate the curses he makes during dissections, you can still learn a lot from him—although Jiang Hang remembers that this man has such a bad temper that no one has ever been able to stick with him as a team for more than half a year.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but look at Aso Minami with some sympathy. Passing the forensic qualification certificate under this guy's tutelage was no easy task. Aso, you'd better keep trying.
That being said, Jiang Hang rarely comes to UDI, and it's even more rare for him to witness a professional forensic doctor performing an autopsy up close. He also wants to see how his assassin skills, honed in the system space, and his understanding of the human body compare to those of a forensic doctor.
Ignoring Asagi's advice, Jiang Hang changed into Asagi's spare surgical gown and stayed in the dissection room.
Nakado Kei wasn't exactly known for his politeness. Although it was his first time meeting Jiang Hang, and he knew Jiang Hang's identity as a Metropolitan Police Department consultant and famous detective from Asagi, he still snapped at Jiang Hang when he saw Jiang Hang preparing to stay in the autopsy room to observe the autopsy process: "Don't touch anything in the autopsy room. Just stand there quietly and don't move. If anything happens, don't blame me for kicking you out."
Just as Asagi said, Nakado's temper was really bad when it came to dissection. As long as Asagi, the assistant, was a little slow in handing over the tools, a string of curses of "bastard" would come from Nakado's side.
Jiang Hang indeed couldn't escape being bossed around. While dissecting the deceased's abdomen to examine the stomach contents, Zhongtang Xi, who was focused on his work, didn't care who was standing next to him and directly instructed Jiang Hang to adjust the lighting on the dissection table.
Jiang Hang had never done lighting before, but Ma Shengshi was already used to this kind of situation, so he took the initiative to adjust the lights.
But then Nakado Kyou started calling for tools again. Seeing Asahi Shigeaki, who was overwhelmed with work, Jiang Hang's eyelids twitched slightly.
The lights hadn't been adjusted, but Jiang Hang knew the dissection tools inside and out, so he simply walked to the side and started handing the tools to the old man.
Nakado, whose attention was entirely focused on the corpse, was completely unaware of his surroundings. As long as the tools he needed were in his hands immediately and the lighting he required was adjusted promptly, he had nothing more to say.
Soon, the results of the examination of the deceased's stomach were available.
This is also an important basis for investigating the specific time of death.
The stomach of most people will digest the food within 2-4 hours after eating.
