The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

In short, Jiang Hang felt that the girl in front of him might have a chance to be recruited into the Assassin Brotherhood and become the fourth member of the Japanese Assassin Brotherhood after Yusuke Sakata and the Miyano sisters.

But before that, Jiang Hang planned to test the other party again.

He coughed lightly, then extended an invitation to Koshimizu Nanatsuki: "Koshimizu, what are your plans for the future? After graduation, do you intend to become a full-fledged detective, or will you take a regular job, or will you still treat being a detective as just a hobby?"

When Jiang Hang suddenly asked her this question, a look of surprise appeared on Yue Shui Qixi’s face. After she came to her senses, she shook her head and said, “I haven’t thought about these things yet. I’m only a sophomore now and I plan to make a decision when I’m about to graduate.”

Jiang Hang then extended a further invitation to her: "If you haven't decided yet, you can try working at my agency. My agency receives a lot of cases every day, and I can't handle them all by myself. Shizuka and Yuno are newcomers who have only been in this industry for a few months. Although they are progressing very quickly, a detective's growth requires facing various cases to gain experience, and they are still somewhat lacking in this aspect."

"With an experienced detective like you joining us, I think they'll be able to improve even faster."

Hearing Jiang Hang's words, Sakaki Shizuka and Koharu Yuno had no ill feelings towards Koshimizu Nanatsuki, so they naturally had no objections.

Seeing that Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked somewhat troubled, Jiang Hang added fuel to the fire: "As for the compensation, in addition to the basic salary, all the money you earn from the commissions you take on is yours. If you are interested in voice changing and disguise, I can also have Yuno and Shizuka teach you."

Such treatment would sound like fraud if it were outsiders, but coming from Jiang Hang, the "heir to a foundation with billions in assets," it sounds remarkably real.

Furthermore, with both Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu testifying to what Jiang Hang said, Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew that what Jiang Hang said was probably true.

But it is precisely because of this that Nanatsuki Koshimizu is able to feel the pressure on her.

She couldn't help but wipe her forehead.

Although Jiang Hang offered exceptionally favorable conditions, she had no intention of stopping now; she still had things she needed to accomplish.

Moreover... even if she did manage to accomplish that, her life would probably remain frozen at that point in time.

"If I have time, I will definitely visit your agency, Jiang Hangjun. However, besides my studies, I also have club activities to attend to, so I probably won't have much time to complete the commissions."

Hearing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's tactful refusal, Jiang Hang had a better understanding of the situation. It seemed that Koshimizu Nanatsuki did indeed have some unspeakable difficulties.

Knowing that no matter how high the offer was, the other party probably wouldn't join his firm before he could resolve their inner conflict, Jiang Hang didn't press the matter further, and the topic was temporarily put to rest.

To change the subject, Nanatsuki Koshimizu brought up the recent series of arson attacks in Tokyo.

"It seems like there have been four arson cases in Tokyo recently, and so far the police haven't been able to find any useful information." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said, looking at Jiang Hang, "I remember you're a special advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, right? Hasn't the Metropolitan Police Department asked for your help?"

“After all, a special advisor is just an advisor. I generally don’t actively interfere in the Metropolitan Police Department’s affairs. The police officers in the Criminal Investigation Department will also try to limit the number of times they contact me for the sake of their reputation. And to be honest, I’m only really familiar with a few inspectors in the Metropolitan Police Department. I mainly deal with murder and kidnapping cases, and I haven’t really communicated much with the police officers in charge of other areas,” Jiang Hang spread his hands toward Koshimizu Nanatsuki, indicating that he didn’t know much about the matter.

The Metropolitan Police Department has many departments, including nine major departments and a directly affiliated Metropolitan Police Academy. In addition to more than 40,000 active police officers, there are also seven or eight thousand ordinary staff members and several thousand police academy students who have not yet graduated.

Of the 50,000 police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Hang probably only knows a few dozen people by name. As for the other police officers, they may have heard of Jiang Hang's name, but if Jiang Hang were to stand in front of them, they probably wouldn't recognize him, let alone ask him for help.

While Jiang Hang would watch the news for a while each day to keep up with current events, under normal circumstances, after completing a day's worth of quests outside, he would occasionally go out at night as a bystander of justice to combat crime in Tokyo's late nights. At home, he would mostly choose to play games to relax.

Even when he was following cases, he was more interested in news about murder and kidnapping. He really didn't remember the arson case that Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned.

However, Yoshino Kiharu briefly explained the situation of the arson case to Jiang Hang.

Starting roughly from last weekend, Tokyo has seen three arson attacks.

First it was Ikebukuro, then Asakusa, and the third was Tabata.

The arson route traced by the perpetrator in Tokyo forms an obtuse triangle, but nothing of value can be discerned from it. Apart from finding a pile of ashes at the scene, the police have not been able to find anything related to the perpetrator.

“The murderer has not left anything at the scene so far, and the police don’t even know the murderer’s characteristics. This kind of case is hard to judge,” Jiang Hang shook his head slightly. Based on these clues alone, he couldn’t even determine whether the three arson cases were committed by the same person.

What if the real killer only committed the first crime, and the subsequent two crimes were caused by copycats? This possibility cannot be ruled out.

The best way to catch arsonists who move around committing crimes is to install cameras in common areas of Tokyo to minimize blind spots.

With cameras in place, more than half of criminal cases can be solved directly.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department did not have that much money, and most Japanese people were unwilling to be filmed by cameras in public, so the matter was left unresolved.

As for Jiang Hang, it seems that there is no other good way besides having Altaïr roam the skies over Tokyo looking for suspicious people.

Upon receiving Jiang Hang's reply, Yue Shui Qi Tsuki felt slightly disappointed, but she also understood that it was impossible for an ordinary person to deduce the truth without any prior information.

“Let’s exchange contact information. I’ve memorized this case. I’ll go to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow and ask if they’ve uncovered anything new.” Jiang Hang took out his phone and exchanged phone numbers and email addresses with Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"If you find anything, you can contact me anytime. The benefits I just mentioned are still valid."

In response, Koshimizu Nanatsuki only gave a polite smile and made no guarantees to Jiang Hang.

As the conversation drew to a close, the meal was coming to an end.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Hang, who had driven the three girls home one by one, did not return directly to the firm. Instead, he drove to another location.

This is the place he and Vermouth had arranged to meet.

According to previous statements, after Vermouth uses the organization's resources to investigate the Spider Mansion, she will hand over the intelligence to Jiang Hang here.

However, because of the issues raised in today's program, Jiang Hang has already clarified the truth of the case on the show, making this handover segment somewhat delicate.

Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Hang did not have to wait long before a male figure skillfully opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Hang glanced at the other person.

Vermouth seems to be using Shinichi Araide's persona again today.

According to the timeline, she should have already made a move against the real Tomoaki Araide, but in the end, Tomoaki Araide was rescued and protected by the FBI.

Jiang Hang wasn't interested in whose identity Vermouth had impersonated. He simply glanced around to make sure there were no FBI agents behind Vermouth before turning to her and demanding a reasonable explanation for what had happened that day.

Chapter 445: Chapter 441: Vermouth is still a kind person.

Sensing the somewhat chilly atmosphere inside the car, Vermouth, using the appearance of Araide Tomoaki, tilted her head and made a rather "cute" silly gesture.

Jiang Hang got goosebumps all over because of the other person's action. If it weren't for his relatively good self-control, he would have used his Bajiquan, which he had only learned a few days ago, to hit the other person in the face.

Seemingly sensing the increasingly dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Hang, Vermouth also became much more serious.

She easily tore off her disguise, revealing her stunningly beautiful face that hadn't changed in decades.

Even in Hollywood, where beauties abound, she has remained the most beautiful actress for many years, without exception.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, are you satisfied with today's surprise?" She leaned back in her seat. To be honest, the AE86 was the cheapest car she had ridden in in the last twenty years. Even if Jiang Hang's car was a luxury modified version, basically only retaining the appearance of the AE86, it was still completely unworthy of Jiang Hang's current status.

But thinking about it carefully, it's really nothing. After all, someone like Jiang Hang doesn't need to use luxury cars to prove his wealth; he can just follow his own preferences.

On Jiang Hang's side, upon hearing Vermouth's words, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Surprise? I think it's more like a shock."

"Your organization's influence in Tottori is indeed quite impressive. You were able to find the real culprit in such a short time and even put him on the show as a topic."

It's important to know that the topics chosen for this program are only approved by the individuals involved; otherwise, their real names and photos wouldn't be shown on the show.

This afternoon, when the program was being recorded, everyone from the Takeda family appeared with their real names and photos.

It's important to understand that this case involves quite a few things.

The second son of the Takeda family had an affair with his sister-in-law and had a daughter. After the truth was exposed, his wife and daughter committed suicide.

The eldest son of the Takeda family was cheated on by his younger brother, and then secretly engaged in drug trafficking.

In addition, there are tragedies arising from the differences in the writing systems of the two countries, and a foreign man's revenge for love.

To put it bluntly, this case could easily be made into several seasons of a soap opera.

It's easy to imagine that this episode will set a new record for the show's ratings once it airs.

By then, the whole of Japan will probably know about the mess that has been going on in the Takeda family. Even though Shinichi Takeda has been arrested by the police, the second son of the Takeda family, Ryuji Takeda, is still working in Tokyo. After this incident is broadcast on television, one can imagine that his career and marriage will be greatly affected.

Regardless of the attitudes of others, it is clear that Ryuji Takeda would never agree to have his image appear on television.

Clearly, the Black Organization must have used some clandestine methods of coercion against the Takeda family.

"The Takeda family has caused such a big problem that they no longer have a foothold in Tottori Prefecture. They are probably selling off their assets and preparing to leave Japan now."

Vermouth said this, but it's unclear how credible her words actually are.

"As for putting this case on the show, we have no choice. After all, you only said you needed evidence of the case, not the culprit. But since our organization has already found the real culprit, it seems redundant to relay the evidence and clues we got from him to you. So we can only fulfill your request in this way."

"I think the result is pretty good now. You've once again demonstrated your deductive reasoning skills to the audience on TV, truly deserving the title of a famous detective. The case has also come to a successful conclusion. Everything is going well, isn't it?"

“So, according to you, I should thank you. But I remember the program marginalized many clues about this case,” Jiang Hang said, staring calmly at Vermouth in the passenger seat.

Vermouth straightened up and responded with a "resentful" look in her eyes.

“Pisco is a long-time member of our organization. He has served the BOSS even longer than our organization has been established. Losing such a dedicated member has left quite a few people in our organization with some reservations about you.”

"After all, with the BOSS not being involved much in recent years, not only have many rats from other places infiltrated the organization, but many of the organization's veterans have also developed some inappropriate thoughts."

"You can take today's events as a test from those people. Of course, I definitely won't let that happen. I was actually at the show this afternoon, so if you really run into any trouble, I'll definitely step in."

Vermouth managed to absolve herself of all responsibility with just a few words, as if the whole affair had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Hang naturally couldn't completely believe the other party's nonsense, but he hadn't actually suffered a loss in this matter. In fact, he was the one who first used the matter of Pisco as a condition to ask Vermouth to do his work.

Jiang Hang, on the other hand, won by default. He solved the case with almost no effort, while also causing the Black Organization to suffer a silent loss.

It would be strange if the Black Organization had no complaints about him; it wouldn't be surprising if even Gin took on the mission to assassinate him.

However, Jiang Hang definitely needs to make his stance clear; he doesn't want to be tested again and again.

Vermouth knew that this explanation wasn't enough, so she simply stopped bringing it up and started talking about something else.

"I heard you're looking to acquire a television station. Do you need my help?"

It's no secret that Jiang Hang has been in contact with people at the TV station recently, and he hasn't deliberately hidden anything. It's just that so far, he hasn't found anyone suitable.

Upon hearing Vermouth's words, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Is this another opportunity to fleece the brewery?

He acquired the television station simply to create his own personal television station, giving his works a channel for exposure.

As for whether there were members of a black-clad organization behind that TV station, he really didn't care.

As long as you don't cause trouble at the TV station and don't take his money for nothing, it'll be fine.

If you have any suitable options, please let me know and I'll take a look.

“I’ll send you the TV station’s information later, but in return, I have something I’d like to ask you for a favor,” Vermouth said softly.

Jiang Hang initially thought the winery wanted to explore some deeper cooperation with him. He narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself how to respond.

However, what Vermouth said next made him pause again.

"I'm very interested in that tokusatsu series you recently filmed called 'Ultraman.' I'd like to make a cameo appearance in it. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Vermouth's so-called request, Jiang Hang's gaze towards Vermouth instantly changed.

Is this even considered asking me for help? This is Vermouth using her own popularity to generate hype and attract viewers for Ultraman, which is still being filmed!
