The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"[High Reward] Are these two people anime characters? I need an answer urgently!"

Chapter 448: Chapter 444: I, with the Assassin System, will train my host to become the world's number one detective.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, after he finished his daily tasks the next morning, he suddenly received a special reward in his mind.

"Complete daily tasks to trigger special rewards and gain access to the anime 'Lonely Rock'."

"?"

Looking at this reward that seemed to have appeared rather abruptly, Jiang Hang couldn't help but scratch his head.

He just casually made a few comments yesterday, and his system didn't react at all. How come it sent him an anime without saying a word today?

Could it be that my own system brother has a hidden arrogant side?

Jiang Hang muttered a few words to himself before turning his attention to the special reward.

He glanced at the plot briefly and already knew pretty much what was going on.

It turns out that the two girls he met yesterday were actually characters from an anime. Although the main character was another girl with social anxiety, the two of them were important members of the main character's band.

"I knew it. Only missions related to the main character's team have a higher star rating than normal missions," Jiang Hang muttered to himself, while also pushing his luck by making a request to the system in his head.

"Since you can send me other anime, how about you send me a complete set of Detective Conan manga, System Brother? I watched the first hundred or so episodes on TV when I was a kid, but I don't remember any of the later daily cases."

If Jiang Hang could really get his hands on the complete Detective Conan manga, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in this world.

Unfortunately, the system in his head was adamant about this.

"Please do not delude yourself into thinking you can become the world's strongest detective by using such a shortcut."

Jiang Hang was not surprised to receive this answer.

After all, although the system he obtained was a bit too generous in terms of monetary rewards, it wasn't the kind of system where you could become invincible just by mindlessly signing in.

Aside from his Eagle Eye and Assassin Bloodline, which are supernatural powers, all the other skills Jiang Hang currently possesses were learned through solid practice within the system space.

His mastery of poison-making skills led him to die hundreds of times in the system space in one night. His passive skill 'Mind's Eye,' which allows him to dodge bullets, although enhanced by supernatural power, was also acquired through countless attempts to kill him in various ways within the system space.

Judging from the fact that he can only learn things on his own in the system space, instead of the systems in other novels that directly instill "decades of experience" into other people's heads, and can even instantly and perfectly acquire muscle memory, the system in his head is like a strict master.

He treats his host (apprentice) very well, but at the same time, he has high expectations of him.

In fact, the Assassin System's goal for its current host is exactly what it told Jiang Hang before—to make Jiang Hang the most famous detective in this world.

A youth campus story like Lonely Rock is just a tiny part of a story in this world where crimes happen frequently. Even if the plot is completely rewritten, it won't capture much of the world's essence. Therefore, sending it to Jiang Hang won't have much impact on his path to becoming a famous detective or the lives of those anime characters.

But if it's related to a case, it's a different story.

To become the world's best detective, one can rely on memories from a past life to build a reputation when one's abilities are insufficient in the early stages, but this method is obviously no longer viable later on.

Jiang Hangguang's eagle-eye ability is now comparable to a human microscope, and he has gradually cultivated a group of capable assistants around him.

Furthermore, during Jiang Hang's learning process in the system space, his intelligence and thinking ability were subtly improved. If Jiang Hang still had to rely on his memories from his previous life to solve cases, wouldn't that prove that the system was incapable of nurturing its host?

As it turns out, the assassin system's training program is quite effective.

Although the cases Jiang Hang is currently facing are mostly cases he has no recollection of, he can still rely on his own abilities to find the truth behind the cases, only the methods he uses may not be as orthodox as those of traditional detectives like Conan and Heiji Hattori.

And when he received a response from his own system, he was able to roughly deduce the reason.

"I'm supposed to be an assassin system, but after transmigrating to the wrong world, I've managed to train my host into the world's number one detective... That's pretty much the feeling," Jiang Hang muttered to himself, and then gave up on his plan to continue relying on the Conan manga to cheat.

Besides, with his interference, the main storyline of Detective Conan has already become a complete mess. Compared to the Conan storyline, he is more worried about whether the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, which he made up on the spot, will cause some big scandal behind his back in this world.

......

Because of the reward he received, Jiang Hang stayed in the office watching anime after completing his daily exercise routine. The investigation into the arson case was almost complete, and even if he went to the scene again, he wouldn't be able to find anything useful from the remaining ruins.

Now, besides having Altaïr wander around Tokyo at night to see if he can catch the culprit in his next crime, all he can do is wait for news from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Of course, Jiang Hang didn't keep this information from him. Last night, he forwarded the case information to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and asked for her opinion.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also sent back a rather long case analysis around noon today. However, most of it consisted of Koshimizu Nanatsuki's speculations about the perpetrator's personality and family, without any very rigorous reasoning. It can be considered as a reference standard for finding the perpetrator, but it would be too easy to cause problems if you took it directly as fact.

Therefore, Jiang Hang also responded to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's analysis, expressing his gratitude while also trying to win her over.

The result was predictable: the other party politely declined.

In fact, Jiang Hang had already begun using his recently acquired hacking skills to search for news and information about Koshimizu Nanatsuki online.

These things are actually not easy to find, but he still managed to find some information from news articles in some gossip magazines.

For example, many of the cases that Koshimizu Nanatsuki helped the Fukuoka Prefectural Police solve during her high school years were reported in the newspapers, such as kidnapping, theft, and fraud. Although it cannot be compared with someone like Kudo Shinichi, who solved dozens of murder cases for the police in just one year of high school, it is still a very impressive resume compared to those ordinary high school students.

With this resume alone, it will be much easier for Nanatsu Koshimizu to become a policewoman in the future.

Judging from her attitude, she doesn't seem to have any intention of becoming a police officer, or even any plans for the future.

Jiang Hang made a rather bold speculation in response.

Either the other person hasn't really decided whether they want to continue down the path of detective work, or they feel that they may have no future.

What does it mean to have no future?

It simply means that she might sacrifice her future to accomplish something.

Amidst this chaotic information, Jiang Hang astutely spotted a news item from a year ago.

[Is the suspect in the lavender house locked-room murder case suspected of committing suicide out of guilt? A close friend speaks out, stating it could not possibly be her!]

In this news article, Nanatsuko Koshimizu's image was prominently displayed in a corner.

In the news, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had just started university, stated with certainty in an interview that the truth of the case was that the deceased chose to commit suicide due to various pressures, and that it was not a homicide as the police believed, misled by another high school detective, nor could it have been killed by her friend.

Upon seeing this news, Jiang Hang's gaze sharpened.

The look of disgust on Koshimizu Nanatsuki's face when she thought he was an irresponsible detective the day before yesterday seemed to be related to the case.

Is it because that so-called high school detective made a mistake in his reasoning, deducing an innocent person as a suspect in the case, which ultimately led to the death of that innocent person, who happened to be a close friend of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, that she reacted this way?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to conduct a further investigation into the so-called lavender house locked-room murder case.

This news is local news from Fukuoka, and it seems that Koshimizu Nanatsuki deliberately chose this channel to speak out in order to seek justice for her friend.

However, as of now, the police in the area where the case occurred have not responded to the news, which means that they still believe that the murderer in that case was Nanatsuko Koshimizu's friend.

Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this.

Although Inspector Megure's talents are not particularly outstanding, if we had to rank them, his reasoning ability might not even be as good as the wildly imaginative Kogoro Mouri.

But at least Inspector Megure and his subordinates are quite hardworking people. No matter what case they encounter, they will try their best to find the real culprit, and they can quickly adjust themselves if they realize they have made a mistake.

However, there aren't many police officers like Inspector Megure in police stations across Japan. At least, neither Nanatsuki Koshimizu nor her friend ever encountered a police officer like Inspector Megure back then.

What Jiang Hang was slightly concerned about was that the news did not mention the identity of the other high school detective whose reasoning process went wrong.

Jiang Hang searched in other places, but still couldn't find any information on this topic.

After all, there are quite a few people in Japan who have the title of high school detective.

Shinichi Kudo, Shiratori, Heiji Hattori... These are the three Jiang Hang knows so far. Of course, these three are all well-known figures in the detective industry. Cases they are involved in are basically made in the newspapers. There is no possibility that a case will be made in the news but no one knows who the detective who solved it is.

Therefore, the most likely outcome is that an unknown high school student adopts the title of high school detective, encounters a murder case, and makes his own deductions to the police at the scene. Ultimately, his deductions are wrong, and he also misleads the police's judgment.

"A high school detective who's not very famous, and the location is... Shikoku Island. That's all the information we have so far. It seems like this is going to be a difficult case to investigate." Jiang Hang didn't ask Koshimizu Nanatsuki for her opinion; this kind of thing was, after all, a very personal matter.

Furthermore, Jiang Hang suspected that Koshimizu Nanatsuki was also trying to find this so-called detective and wanted to take revenge on him.

Therefore, it's best to investigate this matter secretly, find out the truth and Nanatsuki's attitude before revealing the truth.

Of course, such investigative matters naturally require the assistance of Sakaki Shizuka and Koharu Yuno, whose intelligence capabilities have both reached an intermediate level.

Upon hearing that Jiang Hang suddenly wanted to investigate a case that occurred a year ago, Shizuka Sakaki had some doubts, but as Jiang Hang's assistant, she didn't ask why and went straight to investigate the case.

Before leaving, Shizuka Sakaki mentioned to Jiang Hang, somewhat helplessly, the maid, Miyuki Aida, from the Spider Mansion.

According to the other party, she actually knew Robert, but several years had passed and he had not reappeared. In addition, she did not know about the "shine" he left behind, so she forgot to mention it.

"According to her, it was only when your Pioneer Foundation approached her to ask about her impression of 'Robert' that she remembered that there was indeed such a person."

"Your Pioneer Foundation is really amazing. You investigated something that people had almost forgotten about in just a day or two," Shizuka Sakaki said, her tone tinged with shame, as if she felt guilty for not being able to help Jiang Hang at all in the last case despite receiving such a high salary.

“They are professionals after all. You are not bad either, you just missed the on-site investigation step. If you go to the Spider Mansion yourself, it should save a lot of time.” Jiang Hang naturally had to cheer on his assistants at this time.

The Black Organization has been operating in Tottori Prefecture for over half a century. If they can't find out about this kind of thing, they might as well just disband on the spot.

Shortly after giving Shizuka Sakaki a little encouragement to help her regain her energy and get back to work, Jiang Hang suddenly received a call from Asano Minami.

Jiang Hang, who had been feeling a little sleepy in the afternoon after lunch, instantly became wide awake upon receiving the phone call.

It came from UDI, or more precisely, from a personal request from forensic pathologist Mikoto Misumi, whom he had long wanted to meet but had never had the chance to.

Chapter 449: Chapter 445: A Cry for Help from the Dead

Nishimushisano, the Institute for the Study of Unnatural Deaths.

When Jiang Hang drove to the research institute, he could see three people, including Ma Shengshi, standing at the entrance of the institute waiting for him.

Jiang Hang's gaze quickly swept over the other two people.

One was a young man in his early twenties wearing glasses, while the other was a woman with shoulder-length short hair, dressed simply but still attracting attention.

Seeing that the adult woman's face was 70% similar to that of Satomi Ishihara from his previous life, Jiang Hang confirmed her identity with just one glance.

Because of her long-term contact with corpses and various irritating substances, the real-life Mikoto Misumi's skin and makeup are naturally not as refined as those of the actresses on television. However, even if the actors on television are good at acting, they still find it difficult to compare with real forensic practitioners in terms of temperament.

However, one thing is certain: both the Mikoto Misumi on TV and the Mikoto Misumi in front of them are quite pure people.

Jiang Hang obviously couldn't bring this kind of character, who was like a female lead in a morning drama, into the Assassin Brotherhood, but Jiang Hang never had such an idea in the first place.

A person who adheres to their beliefs and stays on the right path is admirable. Let her continue on her own path in this world.

"This must be Ms. Misumi, whom you mentioned to me before, and this must be Mr. Kube," Jiang Hang greeted Aso Nami as he got out of the car.

Mikoto Misumi wasn't surprised to hear Jiang Hang call out her name, but Rokuro Kube on the other side looked rather astonished.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, do you recognize me?" He pointed to himself somewhat nervously.

He was just a medical student who had to repeat his senior year of high school three times to get into a third-rate university. Now he's just an ordinary recorder at UDI, and he hasn't left anything in this world that's worth remembering.

“That night when I asked Narumi and Dr. Nakado to help with the autopsy, I saw your name at the door of the autopsy room, and I also heard Aso mention you later,” Jiang Hang nodded slightly, and then reached out his hand to Misumi Mikoto beside him.

"Hello, Dr. Misumi, I am Jiang Hang from the Pioneer Agency."
