As he said this, he pointed to the two girls in his car: "I'm a detective with some reputation, and these two are legitimate assistants. You don't need to worry about me doing anything to you."
Jiang Hang's idea was quite simple: the girl in front of him had a somewhat familiar name, and she was probably a character he had heard of in his previous life but didn't remember well.
It's quite a coincidence to meet such a talented person through a variety show.
Even if we can't bring her into the Assassin Brotherhood in the future, it would be good to develop her into one of the connections in my agency.
On the other hand, when Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard Jiang Hang's frank "admission," she was slightly taken aback.
She came to watch the show for another reason; in fact, she had come to the recording site to watch the show several times in a row.
The previous episodes were nothing special; she watched the recording process and then left.
However, this time she encountered Jiang Hang, a newly famous detective who has recently gained widespread fame. The program team presented her with a rather difficult question, which was also quite malicious in terms of clues, and that's what caught her attention.
Misled by the program team, she was unable to answer any questions during the question-and-answer session, and in the end, she could only submit a blank paper.
It was precisely because she submitted blank answers to the later questions that she began to doubt Jiang Hang, who spoke eloquently and without hesitation on stage.
For some personal reasons, she is now quite sensitive to so-called "detectives" like Jiang Hang who claim they will not let any criminals go unpunished and will not let any innocent person suffer injustice, but in the end, they cannot provide perfect answers in the process of reasoning.
Driven by these emotions, she used some of her own methods to find Jiang Hang's parking spot, hoping to uncover the real "truth".
She had already considered the possibility several times.
Either Jiang Hang would provide a more perfect and flawless answer to dispel her doubts, or Jiang Hang would be unwilling to explain the truth and would use a perfunctory attitude to drive her away.
If Jiang Hang chooses the latter, then she will also choose to treat Jiang Hang in her own way.
But now, the other party's attitude is quite relaxed, and he even invited her to dinner in a friendly manner.
This was an outcome she had never anticipated.
However, she was never a timid or introverted person, so when she received Jiang Hang's invitation, she only glanced at the two girls in the car and then accepted without hesitation.
......
With an extra girl on the bus, Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu naturally became curious about the girl who had stopped the bus. So, after Nanatsuki Koshimizu got on, the three girls started talking quietly in the back seat.
Jiang Hang also learned a lot about the other party's identity through their chat.
Despite still looking like a student, Nanatsuki Koshimizu is already 20 years old this year.
She is from Fukuoka Prefecture and is currently studying at a university in Tokyo.
As for her description of "business detectives," that's not entirely wrong.
During high school, she helped many people at school because of her sharp mind. She also helped the Fukuoka police catch several criminal gangs by chance. However, her death aura is obviously not as strong as Conan's or Hattori Heiji's. So far, she has not encountered many murder cases.
As we all know, a famous detective needs to rely on various bizarre murder cases to gradually become known to the public and thus become a famous detective.
Having basically never encountered any murder cases, Nanatsuki Koshimizu can only be considered a "business detective".
Of course, Koshimizu Nanatsuki herself had no objection to this. According to her, it was enough to be able to help others in ordinary places. If possible, she did not want any murder cases to occur around her.
Listening to Nanatsuki Koshimizu's self-introduction, Jiang Hang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When he first transmigrated, he wanted to be a friendly neighbor to the citizens of Beika Town, and he would be content with doing good deeds and completing ordinary quests every day.
However, as his entanglement with Conan deepened, he also caught the death aura that all famous detectives possess, along with Conan and Heiji Hattori, and began to cause people to die on the spot wherever he went.
During the recording of the show today, he wondered if any murder cases would occur on set.
Fortunately, nothing happened by the time the show ended.
The only unexpected thing was the detective girl, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who came to ask for advice.
If possible, Jiang Hang felt it wouldn't hurt to have more accidents like this in the future.
The car soon stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant that Jiang Hang liked.
Speaking of which, Jiang Hang still feels a little regretful. Although this world incorporates many anime characters, and Jiang Hang has secretly followed the plot development of many anime characters, he has not yet found any characters from a famous food anime from his previous life. Otherwise, he could have gone there to taste the kind of delicious food that makes people groan.
He did find a few family restaurants called "Wagnaria" in Hokkaido online, but Tokyo is not close to Hokkaido. He wouldn't go all the way to Hokkaido just to see a few anime characters he liked in his previous life and have a meal there. If there is a case in Hokkaido in the future, he can stop by there for a meal.
Besides, Amuro Tooru's cooking skills are not bad, but according to the development of the plot, he will probably not appear in Conan's sight for quite a long time. At that time, he will choose to work at the coffee shop downstairs from the Mori family's house.
The Chinese restaurant Jiang Hang chose was recommended to him by Conan, who said that the Chinese food and Chinese pastries there were very good.
Jiang Hang even asked Conan if they had encountered any murder cases while eating at this restaurant, which Conan immediately denied.
However, Conan added that although they didn't encounter a murder in the restaurant, Kogoro Mouri was almost hit by a car as soon as they left the restaurant and walked onto the street. It turned out that the driver was actually the murderer in another murder case.
When Jiang Hang heard Conan's explanation, he was speechless. But since this restaurant could withstand Conan, the Grim Reaper, and he had been there once and found that the taste was indeed quite authentic, and the restaurant owner and many of the waiters were Chinese, it became a place he frequented.
After skillfully ordering several signature dishes and then some pastries according to the tastes of the girls, Jiang Hang told Yue Shui Qitsuki about the truth of the case while waiting for the food to be served.
You should use different talking points depending on the type of person you're talking to.
Now that Nanatsuki Koshimizu has noticed the problem, sincerity is the best weapon against such a sensitive person.
Jiang Hang immediately dropped a bombshell—he had photos of Takeda Shinichi's letter of authorization and the anonymous invitation that Hattori Heiji received on his phone.
"What is this?" Looking at the two letters with completely different contents, Koshimizu Nanatsuki widened her eyes in surprise.
She previously thought the production team had informed Jiang Hang in advance, but now it seems that Jiang Hang was directly taking an open-book exam.
"This is the letter I received last week, inviting me to the Spider Mansion this weekend. Since then, I have been investigating the truth behind the Spider Mansion." Jiang Hang briefly explained that he had received the commission in advance, and then quickly talked about his thoughts with the famous Osaka detective, Hattori Heiji.
He then mentioned the contributions of Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu to the case.
Sakaki Shizuka, on the other hand, seemed somewhat unworthy of Jiang Hang's praise: "When I was communicating with Ms. Lantian, I failed to obtain any truly important information, which is my shortcoming."
At this point, Koshimizu Nanatsuki became even more confused.
Jiang Hang received the commission for this case in advance and had already secretly launched an investigation, but now Shizuka Sakaki has mentioned that she herself has been unable to find out the key information.
So who investigated Robert's case?
The three girls' gazes all turned to Jiang Hang.
Jiang Hang remained calm; he had already decided who to shift the blame to.
"I asked the foundation for help."
The Black Organization feared the power behind the Pioneer Foundation, so he used the foundation's name to get Vermouth to do things for him. In a way, it wasn't wrong for him to ask the foundation for help.
"The Foundation?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was still puzzled, but Sakaki Shizuka and Koharu Yuno both had expressions of understanding on their faces.
Sakaki Shizuka quietly explained her boss's background to Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
Upon learning that Jiang Hang, a young and famous detective, actually had a massive foundation with assets exceeding tens of billions of US dollars as his backing, even though Koshimizu Nanatsuki wasn't a materialist, she still felt the gap between people in that instant.
“I’ve mentioned this to you guys before, right? Although I have the right to inherit the Pioneer Foundation, I will face many challenges if I want to inherit it,” Jiang Hang casually mentioned something he had said to Shizuka Sakaki and the others when he was joking around. “To be honest, I originally just wanted them to help me check if there were any clues that had been missed, but who knew they would betray me like this.”
"When I saw this case on the show, I was actually stunned for a while before I realized that those bastards must have used the Spider Mansion case as a test for me."
Jiang Hang's tone was very sincere, because everything he said was true, except that the Black Organization's scenes had been taken over by the Foundation.
When he saw Spider Mansion on the show, he was genuinely stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant.
"But if I directly stated on the show that I had accepted the commission, the production team would probably be in big trouble, so I didn't make it public."
"In the later reasoning stage, I did conduct research for a week in advance, so when I saw Robert's information, I immediately identified him as the real culprit in the case."
"From the audience's perspective, my reasoning is indeed not perfect. That's my problem, and I'm glad that you noticed it and pointed it out to me directly."
After listening to Jiang Hang's description, Koshimizu Nanatsuki finally realized what was going on.
"No wonder I always felt something was off about the production team's attitude in this episode; so that's the truth..."
She sorted through Jiang Hang's words and reasoning on the show, and found that Jiang Hang's explanation did indeed make sense.
She immediately stood up, bowed to Jiang Hang, and expressed her apology.
"I apologize for my previous doubts. Mr. Jiang Hang, you are indeed a true master detective."
Chapter 444: Chapter 440: Koshimizu Nanatsuki with a lingering resentment
After figuring out the truth behind the Spider Mansion case, Nanatsuki Koshimizu seemed somewhat uneasy.
Jiang Hang then had Shizuka Sakaki and the others keep Koshimizu Nanatsuki company and chat with her, diverting her attention from the Spider Mansion to other cases. As the amount of food on the table gradually increased, Koshimizu Nanatsuki gradually relaxed.
When it was time to eat, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked Jiang Hang about the disguise techniques he had demonstrated on the show and the voice-changing skills that Sakaki Shizuka had shown.
It's clear that she seems very interested in this skill that allows her to transform herself into another person out of thin air.
"I heard that the legendary Phantom Thief Kid has such an ability. I didn't expect that you, Jiang Hang, also possess this skill. No wonder that Phantom Thief Kid has never gotten the better of you."
It's clear that Nanatsuki Koshimizu is familiar with Jiang Hang's deeds; the title of "Kaito Kid's Nemesis" has been attached to Jiang Hang for a long time.
There's even a rumor circulating now that Phantom Thief Kid has to stay far away from places where Jiang Hang is active.
Hearing what Nanatsu Koshimizu said, Shizuka Sakaki thought that Jiang Hang might be the Phantom Thief Kid. She quickly stepped forward to explain for Jiang Hang: "I can confirm that Jiang Hang has no connection with the Phantom Thief Kid. Before Jiang Hang came to Japan, the Phantom Thief Kid had already started committing crimes. Moreover, in the cases we encountered with the Phantom Thief Kid before, the two of them appeared together at the same location."
Jiang Hang waved his hand at Shizuka Sakaki: "Disguise and voice-changing skills are not skills that only one person can learn. You two have already mastered them. Moreover, the disguise technique I learned is different from that guy Kid's. Kid's disguise technique incorporates some unique magic tricks, emphasizing the speed of disguise. It is also quite difficult to learn. What I have mastered is a more traditional disguise technique. Even if I maintain the disguise for a long time, I don't need to frequently touch up my makeup. Although the speed is much slower, the learning difficulty is also much lower, making it more suitable for beginners."
Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since Jiang Hang last dealt with Phantom Thief Kid. The last time they met was at the Twilight Villa. Although Phantom Thief Kid sent out several notices afterward, one of them was not in Tokyo, so Jiang Hang was too lazy to go there. The other time happened to be during the few days that Jiang Hang was traveling in Kyoto.
However, Jiang Hang felt that if he were Kaito Kid, he would indeed try to avoid him.
Jiang Hang is proficient in most of the disguise techniques of Phantom Thief Kid, is also quite skilled in black technology, and his combat prowess is undeniable. In addition, he possesses Hawkeye's almost superhuman observational abilities, and Jiang Hang has even been grinding away at hacking skills lately by studying in his learning space every night.
From any perspective, Jiang Hang is now the perfect place for Kaito Kid to rise to power. Kaito Kid isn't a masochist, so since he can't gain any advantage over Jiang Hang, he should just avoid him.
Jiang Hang didn't intend to completely destroy Kaito Kid. After all, Kaito Kid had helped him a lot in rescuing Shiho Miyano. It was fine for the two of them to occasionally play a game of mutual flattery and banter; there was no need to make it a life-or-death struggle.
After all, Jiang Hang still wanted to use the excuse of teaming up with Phantom Thief Kid to deal with the villainous organization on his side, and then bring Phantom Thief Kid into the Brotherhood of Assassins.
Seeing that Jiang Hang remained calm when discussing the topic of Phantom Thief Kid, Koshimizu Nanatsuki naturally didn't doubt Jiang Hang's identity.
However, Jiang Hang and Yue Shui Nanatsuki talked a lot about disguise and Phantom Thief Kid, and he could completely sense that the girl in front of him seemed to really have ideas about disguise.
Jiang Hang began to make plans in his mind.
Nanatsuko Koshimizu is quite talented. Even if she's not as good as Conan, if she's properly trained, she'll definitely become a famous detective in the future.
Moreover, after chatting with the other person for a while, he vaguely sensed that the other person seemed to have some unresolved issues.
When faced with those irresponsible detectives, although the other party tried their best to conceal their emotions, the anger or malice that they inadvertently showed could not escape Jiang Hang's eyes.
Perhaps she suffered some injustice in the past because of those irresponsible detectives?
However, if the other party is truly a detective like Conan, whose purity reaches a certain level, then it would be difficult for Jiang Hang to win them over. When dealing with that kind of detective, it would be good enough if he could occasionally squeeze some money out of them.
On the contrary, people with unresolved issues in their hearts can easily gain the other person's complete trust if you can find a way to resolve their issues.
