The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

It's worth noting that Vermouth's current identity, Chris Vineyard, had just announced her retirement from acting and that she would not participate in any commercial activities for a short period of time, a piece of news that caused quite a stir in Hollywood at the time.

At that very moment, this well-known Hollywood actress suddenly appeared as an extra in an obscure film crew. Once this news breaks, it will probably immediately become a trending topic.

With things having developed to this point, even Jiang Hang, with his thick skin, couldn't help but feel that he had gotten a huge advantage this time, and could only mutter to himself that Vermouth was still a kind person.

As for how to arrange Vermouth, the big star, in the plot, it's not actually a particularly troublesome matter.

Jiang Hang filmed Ultraman entirely because he felt it was a pity that the world didn't have Ultraman. His system was an assassin... well, a detective system, not some kind of plagiarism system, so it obviously couldn't provide him with scripts for the Ultraman series.

The Ultraman image in this world is basically based on Jiang Hang's memories and his discussions with the members of the DaBao Film and Television suit team and scriptwriting team.

As for the plot, apart from providing the core Ultraman settings and some episodes featuring classic monsters, Jiang Hang basically filled in the rest with the scriptwriting team. Of course, all the scripts were reviewed by Jiang Hang to ensure there would be no problems.

Later, with the addition of Edo Studio to the Ultraman filming, the director of "Great Edo Warrior: Great General" Yuzai, although he looked sleazy, was truly talented.

With the collaboration of directors Daisuke Mikami and Takuya Uzai, the script for Ultraman is currently quite complete.

It wouldn't be too difficult for them to find a way to squeeze a role for a big star into the film.

Even when Jiang Hang himself suggested a cameo role to Vermouth, he already had in mind a female alien named "Chris Maya" who appeared in a certain episode of Ultraman Tiga, and whose identity on Earth was that of a famous singer.

He could have simply taken the story from this episode and had the writing team create a new script based on Chris Vineyard's on-screen persona.

While Jiang Hang was pondering the Ultraman storyline because of Vermouth's guest appearance request, Vermouth was also quietly observing Jiang Hang's attitude.

Most of the time, Vermouth thought Jiang Hang was an even more mysterious guy than she was, and she couldn't figure out his attitude towards the organization at all.

Having Jiang Hang solve the case on the show was indeed a test, and it was actually her decision.

The reason was that she wanted to see how Jiang Hang would react after encountering such a situation.

Is it because he doesn't care, doesn't mind, or is he dissatisfied because he feels the organization is meddling in his affairs and plotting against him behind his back?

Therefore, Vermouth had prepared many contingency plans in response to Jiang Hang's various attitudes.

TV stations and guest appearances are just the most basic options.

If necessary, she would even directly reveal herself and her biggest secret—how she has maintained her youth for over twenty years—to Jiang Hang in order to seek an opportunity for cooperation.

She never expected that just because she offered to make a cameo appearance in a film that the other company was currently shooting, Jiang Hang seemed completely satisfied and had even started thinking about the plot of her cameo.

Is the person in front of me really a member of the Knights Templar, a tradition that has lasted for thousands of years?

Vermouth couldn't help but have this thought.

But Jiang Hang's identity is beyond question.

However, apart from this secret identity, Jiang Hang's other identities are also quite subtle.

A newly minted master detective, a kind-hearted man who helps others on the streets every day, who also bought an art museum, two film and television companies, and a movie theater while solving cases, and is now considering acquiring a television station—a super sucker.

In any case, Jiang Hang seems to really care about the businesses under his name now. If we want to cooperate in the future, perhaps we can continue to start from this aspect?

Vermouth pondered this and made a decision in her heart.

Things became simpler after that.

Jiang Hang felt he had gotten a great deal, and Vermouth felt she had figured out one of Jiang Hang's preferences without spending much. Both sides felt they had made a good profit.

After agreeing on the time and place for their next meeting, Vermouth changed her appearance back to that of Araide Tomoaki and left.

After seeing Vermouth off, Jiang Hang didn't go straight home. Instead, he first cleaned up Vermouth's traces in his car.

For sensitive people, even a single hair or a faint smell can reveal important clues.

There are usually quite a few people getting on the cars in Jianghang.

The two female assistants at the agency, Conan who occasionally wanders around the agency, and the Miyano sisters.

Their observation skills are not bad, and these checks are quite necessary to avoid trouble.

Just thinking about Shiho Miyano gave Jiang Hang a headache again.

Shiho Miyano had just told him about Vermouth's hidden identity not long ago, and advised him to be careful around her.

Before long, this member of the organization, who had just announced his retirement from acting, was going to make a cameo appearance in a tokusatsu drama filmed in Jianghang.

How should he explain this to Shiho Miyano?

It is said that in order to get close to Vermouth, a member of the brewery, and obtain useful information, he did not hesitate to use his good looks to persuade her to participate in Ultraman.

Even the kids in the Junior Detective League wouldn't easily believe such a flimsy excuse, let alone fool Conan and Shiho Miyano.

Chapter 446: Chapter 442: The Arsonist of Shimokitazawa

Although Jiang Hang initially thought Vermouth's cameo request was promising, he figured that once Ultraman was officially released, there would be no need to worry about its popularity or viewership.

He's certainly gained some attention, but now that he's calmed down and thought about it carefully, he'll likely encounter a lot of new troubles.

Conan and Shiho Miyano's side are just appetizers. Jiang Hang can simply shift the blame to the Pioneer Foundation, saying that Vermouth might want to get close to him to investigate the Pioneer Foundation's background.

The real trouble was that FBI team that had chased Vermouth all the way from the United States to Japan.

Both Shuichi Akai and Jodie Starling have a deep-seated hatred for the Black Organization, and Vermouth also has a very close relationship with them.

Shuichi Akai's father, Tsutomu Akai, disappeared while investigating the Black Organization and his fate remains unknown. Akai himself infiltrated the Black Organization five years ago with the help of Akemi Miyano, but his identity was exposed two years ago, leading him to defect from the organization and return to the FBI.

It can be said that the reason why Akemi Miyano was targeted so much by the Black Organization, and why they even wanted to eliminate Akemi Miyano without any regard for Shiho Miyano's feelings, was because Shuichi Akai was the root cause.

Shuichi Akai has returned to Japan now, probably with the intention of avenging Akemi Miyano and finding Shiho Miyano to protect her.

Unbeknownst to him, his mother, Mary Akai, who works for MI6, was also forced to take APTX4869 because of Vermouth and, like Conan, her body shrunk. She is now trying to investigate the Black Organization and find a way to return her body to its original size.

As for Jodie Starling, it's even simpler. Vermouth is her father's killer, and she even uses Vermouth's old saying, "Secrets make women more womanly," as her catchphrase. She joined the FBI to catch Vermouth.

These two people would try to find out the background of anyone who gets close to Vermouth, or who is approached by Vermouth.

As for Jiang Hang's background, his identity as the heir to the Pioneer Foundation is indeed somewhat complicated.

Who knows if, after these two discovered his identity, the FBI might mistakenly believe that the Forerunner Foundation behind him was preparing to engage in some shady cooperation with the Black Organization?

Besides, if Shuichi Akai also finds out about the Miyano sisters, whom he secretly rescued from the organization, it will cause a lot of trouble.

He doesn't mind his employees dating, but Shuichi Akai is an FBI agent, Akemi Miyano and her sister were once members and even executives of the Black Organization, and the APTX4869 developed and improved by Shiho Miyano was used as a poison by the organization to kill many of its enemies.

Under these circumstances, the relationship between the two is quite delicate.

For the two of them to rekindle their relationship, not to mention that Jodie was Shuichi Akai's girlfriend before he infiltrated the Black Organization, and she is also trying to get back together with Shuichi Akai, just getting through the FBI background check, that is, the political vetting process, will probably not be easy.

However, judging from the current situation, Akemi Miyano seems to have gradually moved on from her relationship with Shuichi Akai and started a new phase of her life.

It's hard to say what would happen if Miyano Akemi and Akai Shuichi reunited at this point in time.

Although Jiang Hang said he wanted to see the live performance of "White Album" and the love triangle, he started to feel a chill run down his spine when such a thing actually happened to him.

"Forget it, I won't think about these things anymore. Why should I, as a boss, worry about these things for my employees every day? I'll just tell Miyano Akemi about this and let her make her own decision," Jiang Hang thought, and stopped dwelling on the matter.

If Shuichi Akai really pushes him too far, he's not one to be trifled with.

In any case, his fighting prowess had already reached a new high after mastering Bajiquan, reaching an unbelievable level. Even Kyogoku Makoto couldn't gain any advantage in front of him. Although Akai Shuichi's fighting prowess was not bad, it was obviously not enough in front of him now.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang lay peacefully in bed and entered his study space to continue his study plan for the evening.

The next morning, Jiang Hang went to the Metropolitan Police Department first thing.

There's no rush for Ultraman's guest appearance. After all, Ultraman is an episodic series, and as long as the script is up to par, Vermouth's guest appearance can happen anytime. Besides, Japan has a popular production model of filming and broadcasting simultaneously, so there's no need to rush the timing.

Therefore, Vermouth was put on hold for a month, which gave him time to observe the FBI's actions before making a decision.

In comparison, the serial arson case that Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned to him last night was actually a four-star case that he found on the bulletin board in the office this morning.

The commission even mentions in the commission prompt that if left unattended, it may even become a five-star commission in the future.

It should be noted that Jiang Hang has only completed a few five-star commissions since he transmigrated here.

The Moon Shadow Island case uncovered a drug trafficking route, which is what makes it a five-star case.

Judging from the system's track record, a five-star commission will affect not just a few people, but a very large group of people.

It's easy to imagine that the perpetrator of this series of arson attacks won't stop after committing three crimes; he'll likely continue his criminal journey in the days to come, and perhaps even eventually set fire to every corner of the city.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang went to the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department after arriving there, and asked Inspector Megure to introduce him to the team that specializes in investigating arsonists.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's purpose for coming, Inspector Megure's expression was clearly one of surprise.

After all, since Jiang Hang became an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, he has never taken the initiative to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to inquire about the progress and status of a case. He usually only calls Jiang Hang for help when he encounters a troublesome case that he cannot solve.

However, this time, Jiang Hang's plan failed.

The reason was not that Inspector Megure was unwilling to introduce the members of the arson investigation team to Jiang Hang.

However, late last night, another fire broke out in the Shimokitazawa area of ​​Tokyo, and a stabbed body was found near the scene of the arson.

"According to our deduction, the murderer was discovered during the arson, and then killed the victim to prevent his identity from being revealed. So the case has been handed over to us. However, to avoid public panic, we haven't made it public yet. We were just wondering whether to ask you for help, but I didn't expect you to come directly, Brother Jiang Hang," Inspector Megure explained, his gaze towards Jiang Hang somewhat strange.

According to Jiang Hang, he overheard someone casually mentioning the case while chatting with them last night, which is why he came over early this morning to inquire about the case.

Who could have known that an arson case that hadn't resulted in any casualties until yesterday would suddenly have an extra body?

After thinking to himself that Jiang Hang was indeed a bit strange, Inspector Megure explained the details of the arson case from the previous night to Jiang Hang.

"First it was Ikebukuro, then Asakusa... then Tabata, and yesterday it was Shimokitazawa. Have you noticed any commonalities in the places where the murderers committed their crimes?"

"If we're talking about commonalities, we can only say that the places the perpetrator set fire to were places that no one usually goes through, and the places that caught fire were mostly old wooden houses. After all, it's not that easy for a normal house to be set on fire. Apart from that, we haven't found any other characteristics yet."

After listening to Inspector Megure's words, Jiang Hang looked at the locations of the four points on the map, but after a while he still couldn't figure anything out.

It's supposed to be a cross, but it looks a bit crooked right now. Also, Ikebukuro, Asakusa, and Tabata are relatively close to each other, while Shimokitazawa is a bit far from these three places.

“Since we haven’t found any patterns at the crime scenes, I’ll go check them out first. Maybe I can find some useful clues there,” Jiang Hang shrugged.

After all, deciphering codes has never been his forte. He can take it back and show it to Shizuka and Conan. He can also try it on Nanatsuko, since he just mentioned that he would contact her if he had any information.

But Shimokitazawa...

Although it sounds like just an ordinary place name, this place was practically a laughing stock on the internet before I traveled through time.

Unexpectedly, he is now going to this place to conduct on-site reconnaissance.

Considering that the world itself is full of a bunch of messy works, especially with the crime rate soaring in Conan, it wouldn't be surprising if he really encountered the legendary Beast Senpai in Shimokitazawa.

However, jokes aside, Shimokitazawa is located in the northeastern part of Setagaya Ward in Tokyo, and it is also a hub for secondhand shops and a center for the spread of subcultures, which is just as famous as Akihabara.

If Akihabara is more of a stronghold of otaku culture, then Shimokitazawa can be considered a vibrant area for underground rock culture.

However, when Jiang Hang arrived at Shimokitazawa with Takagi Wataru, the streets were deserted and there were not many pedestrians because it was still morning.
