The couple from the original work, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato, are only showing signs of a relationship now. However, Jiang Hangren, who nicknamed them "Timely Rain of Tokyo," is glad to give these two potential lovers a chance.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang briefly mentioned his idea to Sato Miwako, but he also made a point of saying that it was just a flash of inspiration and that he could not guarantee its accuracy.

“Write the character for fire in Tokyo… Thinking about it that way, it does make some sense,” Sato Miwako nodded slightly, feeling that Jiang Hang’s suggestion did indeed sound like the right answer.

“I’m going to Yotsuya in a few days anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I go there early. Shall we go scout it out together tonight?” Sato Miwako was talking to Takagi Wataru. After all, Jiang Hang had told them that he had a dinner party tonight and that he wouldn’t have any problems acting alone afterward.

Knowing how powerful Jiang Hang was—to put it bluntly, even if all of Inspector Megure's officers worked together, they might not be a match for Jiang Hang alone—Sato Miwako didn't have much of an opinion about Jiang Hang, the Metropolitan Police Department advisor, acting alone.

As for Takagi Wataru, although he looks tall and strong, his combat ability is not that high. If he encounters a criminal, he might be ambushed. Having her with Takagi Wataru would provide an extra layer of protection.

When Sato Miwako made the request, Takagi Wataru thought to himself, "What a wonderful thing!" Yotsuya was a relatively bustling area close to the city center, and patrolling there with Sato Miwako after get off work sounded like a date.

He had originally planned to bring a few ordinary police officers with him, but now that he had Sato Miwako, what more could he ask for?

He then went aside with Miwako Sato to discuss their patrol route in Yotsuya.

Feeling like he'd become an outsider, Jiang Hang shrugged and, taking advantage of the early hour, decided to go out and complete a few commissions along the way to earn some extra money.

After all, Vermouth's side acted very quickly. In just a few days, they had handed over information about a TV station that was once quite famous in Japan but had gradually declined in recent years to Jiang Hang.

Most of the licenses and certificates are complete. Although the business is currently operating at a loss, the amount of loss is not large, which is quite suitable for Jianghang's current situation.

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, costing several times more than the original purchase price of the Mihana Art Museum.

To support his ever-growing portfolio of businesses, he still needs to continue striving to be a good neighbor to the citizens of Tokyo until these businesses become profitable.

However, once the Ultraman series and the sequels of the Great General series start airing, those film and television companies will be able to start making a profit. As long as the TV stations make an initial investment and then bring over a few of the variety shows that were popular in the previous life, it shouldn't be difficult for them to achieve profitability.

......

After working for most of the day, by the time Jiang Hang arrived at Sigu, it was already completely dark.

However, UDI is always very busy, and there is no such thing as a normal time to leave work: when there is work to do, it is not unusual to work overtime until the early hours of the morning, and when there is no work to do, no one will say anything if you leave early.

However, UDI is currently in its most critical growth phase, and in order to enhance its reputation and obtain more funding for activities, it is constantly accepting unnatural deaths from all over Japan, so the opportunity to leave work early is extremely rare.

After Jiang Hang arrived, it took another twenty minutes before Mikoto Misumi and the others finally arrived.

Unfortunately, no one came to eat barbecue today, Kube Rokuro. I guess he was just taught a lesson by Sakata Yusuke yesterday and doesn't know how to deal with Jiang Hang now.

Besides Asano Minami, another woman accompanied Misumi Mikoto.

She was in her thirties, looked a few years older than Mikoto Misumi, and dressed a bit more fashionably.

If Jiang Hang were to give his opinion, this woman would resemble Sonoko, Ran's best friend: a stylish, infatuated, and witty female best friend who is perfect in every way.

Jiang Hang certainly remembered this woman.

Tokai Rin Yuko, the monitoring and examination technician in Misumi Mikoto's class, has a job that is somewhat similar to that of a recorder, but is much more professional, and her knowledge of medical knowledge is far greater than that of Kube Rokuro, who is only a half-baked doctor.

Compared to Mikoto Misumi, this Tokai Yuuko seemed more like an ordinary person. After a brief greeting to Jiang Hang, her eyes lit up as she began to inquire about the income of a famous detective and Jiang Hang's current relationship status.

After learning about Jiang Hang's financial situation, her eyes lit up even more.

It seemed that as long as Jiang Hang nodded slightly, this woman would be willing to climb into his bed.

Of course, Tokai Rin Yuko wasn't really that desperate. While her looks weren't top-tier, she was definitely not the type who couldn't find a partner.

It's just that her job and the hours she works leave her no time for dating or blind dates.

It's fine when you're younger, but given the current social climate in Japan, a Japanese woman who is still unmarried in her thirties is indeed likely to be viewed strangely by society.

Therefore, it's easy to understand why she's so eager to get married.

Jiang Hang casually repelled the opponent's attack, and then began to seriously talk to Mikoto Misumi about forensic-related matters.

If an ordinary person were to walk past them right now, they would probably throw up the barbecue they just ate—after all, who would be discussing what kind of changes would occur to the body of a human who has been burned to death in a barbecue restaurant?

Mikoto Misumi has dissected thousands of corpses. Washing her hands and eating after finishing her work is commonplace for her. Jiang Hang has also seen quite a few dead people, and has seen even more exciting things in the system space. Discussing these things while eating barbecue is no problem for them at all.

Even Dong Hailin, a woman who had been through countless battles, couldn't take it anymore and directly stopped the two's academic exchange: "Alright, alright, we came here to eat barbecue. Can you workaholics please stop talking about corpses here? The waiter who just served the food was giving us strange looks!"

Mikoto Misumi realized her current location and quickly apologized to her friend in a low voice.

Turning her head, she looked at Jiang Hang again: "I heard from Dr. Zhongtang that you are very familiar with the work of forensic doctors. With your expertise, you could probably pass the forensic examination and become a formal forensic doctor directly."

“I was raised by my family from a young age, and I’ve always learned a wide variety of things,” Jiang Hang explained simply, without going into details.

Conan learned everything in Hawaii, so it shouldn't be surprising if he made up a family out of thin air.

His status as the heir to the Pioneer Foundation speaks for itself, and anyone of slightly higher status could find out his background. Director Kamakura of UDI was one of those people who knew his identity, so it's not surprising that Jiang Hang would say something like that.

If Jiang Hang were to honestly say that he learned the skills in just a few days, no one would believe him.

"What kind of family would make you learn these things?" Tokai Rin Yuko muttered with some doubt.

Mikoto Misumi originally thought this was a private matter for Jiang Hang's family, so she prepared to explain on Jiang Hang's behalf to avoid making Jiang Hang's impression of Donghailin worse.

"It's okay. Actually, I didn't know what was going on when I was little. At that time, I thought my family was some kind of assassin family with hundreds of years of history, and they were going to train me to be some kind of secret assassin or something," Jiang Hang casually said, making up a lie. "It wasn't until my family arranged for me to come to Japan to work as a detective that I realized that what I was learning were the skills that detectives also need to master."

"As for why they trained me to be a detective, you'd have to ask my family what they were thinking," Jiang Hang said, referring to the system in his head.

He still doesn't understand why his assassin system crashed for a week after he transmigrated, and then suddenly returned as a half-baked detective system.

In short, it's best for him to avoid guessing anything related to the system. What if the system is petty and deducts his task rewards after he completes a task? He'll just be stuck here staring at it helplessly.

“Killer and detective, thinking about it that way, it does make some sense,” Tokai Rin Yuko sighed from the side. “It’s just a pity that I’m just an ordinary person. I didn’t learn any skills properly when I was young. I’ve already done my best to graduate from medical school.”

It's true that these kinds of random things often come up when people are eating and drinking, but among the few people present, only Dong Hailin could talk about her past without any reservations.

Mikoto Misumi and Asami Narumi's past is filled with sadness and pain, and neither of them wants to talk about these painful things, while Jiang Hang's past is pure nonsense.

Although the stories are all made up, they can still serve as something to enjoy with drinks.

After the meal, Tokai Rin was naturally completely drunk, while Misumi Mikoto and Asagi Narumi drank less and were still able to maintain a certain level of rationality.

Jiang Hang, given his status, didn't receive any offers to drink at the dinner table. He himself doesn't drink much, and since he had work to do that night, he only had a few drinks with the others and remained the most sober person present.

He originally wanted to pay the bill in advance, but Mikoto Misumi, who was half-drunk, was very insistent on this matter and insisted on paying for the meal. She even carefully counted out 1,000 yen from her wallet and handed it to Jiang Hang as payment for yesterday's transportation.

After seeing off Mikoto Misumi and Tokairin, the girls who needed alcohol to relieve work stress, into a taxi, Jiang Hang felt much more relaxed as he breathed in the slightly cool air of the street.

Indeed, getting together with a group of people to chat and boast can be quite relaxing.

However, this feeling of relaxation only lasted for a short while. After saying goodbye to Asagi, Jiang Hang's eyes sharpened again.

After deducing that the arsonist's target was several streets near Yotsuya, he had Altaïr begin patrolling the area.

As soon as someone who meets the criteria appears in the vicinity, Altaïr will come over to remind Jiang Hang.

Although Jiang Hang has not yet obtained any clues about the killer from Altaïr, he has unexpectedly obtained another piece of information.

Altaïr's reminder suggests that Nanatsuki Koshimizu is also currently conducting a search in the vicinity.

"Did she also figure out the killer's next target, or did she just happen to come here by chance?"

Jiang Hang pondered this and decided to first meet with Koshimizu Nanatsuki to ask her why she was there. If she was alright, the two of them could investigate together.

Following Altaïr's instructions, Jiang Hang soon encountered Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who had changed her clothes, at another street intersection near a university.

At this moment, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's attire looked rather strange; she was wearing sunglasses and headphones, and looking around the streets.

If Altaïr's Hawkeye wasn't just as good as Jiang Hang's, Jiang Hang might not have been able to spot that this person was Koshimizu Nanatsuki just by casually glancing at him from the roadside.

Although Nanatsuki Koshimizu's outfit seemed a bit too deliberate, Tokyo is a trendy city, even though it's not Ikebukuro or Shibuya, and such an outfit wouldn't attract much attention on the street.

It seems she deduced that the murderer might use this place as the next crime scene, so she came here to find the murderer.

Jiang Hang silently approached Koshimizu Nanatsuki in the darkness.

Even though he deliberately used his abilities to conceal his presence, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, despite being a detective far more astute than the average person, was still significantly less able to detect Jiang Hang's existence.

When Jiang Hang gently patted Koshimizu Nanatsuki's shoulder, the somewhat slender girl was startled by his action and instinctively struck Jiang Hang's chest with her elbow.

His reaction was good, and his skills were passable. He seemed to have some training, which is quite good among ordinary people.

However, Jiang Hang's martial arts skills had long surpassed the realm of ordinary people and entered the realm of science fiction. He easily blocked Koshimizu Nanatsuki's subconscious elbow strike.

It wasn't until her attack was blocked that Koshimizu Nanatsuki realized that the person standing behind her was none other than Jiang Hang, whom she had just met a few days ago.

"What are you doing here?" she asked Jiang Hang instinctively.

Only after she said it did she realize that she had asked a stupid question.

After a brief silence, she awkwardly pulled her elbow back and said to Jiang Hang, "I just wanted to come and take a look around."

She certainly couldn't have just come here casually.

After learning the location of the arsonist's arson from Jiang Hang, she spent the last two days studying the connections involved and finally solved the mystery.

So today she came here to see if the murderer would commit the crime here, just as she had deduced.

As for contacting Jianghang?

Koshimizu Nanatsuki didn't have this idea either.

This is not because Koshimizu Nanatsuki lacked confidence in her reasoning.

Rather, she didn't really want to have much contact with Jiang Hang, the famous detective.

The last time I stopped a car in the parking lot because of a momentary lapse in judgment was already a very irrational act.

After that meeting with Jiang Hang, she realized that Jiang Hang had a very strong ability to observe.

If she continues to maintain contact with the other party, they might discover something, causing her revenge plan, which she has been planning for more than half a year, to fall through.

This is something she doesn't want to see.

So, she came here alone tonight, planning that if she found the arsonist, she would find a phone booth on the street and call the police.

However, she overlooked a crucial fact: if she could deduce these things from these clues, how could Jiang Hang, a renowned detective who had personally provided her with these clues, not have noticed?

What's even more embarrassing is that she was observing the area around the university near Yotsuya, relying on her advantage as a female university student. However, after observing for a long time, she didn't find any suspicious people. In the end, she was the one who was noticed by Jiang Hang, and he even silently approached her from behind without her noticing at all.

As expected, this business detective from Fukuoka is far inferior to Jiang Hang, the famous detective from Tokyo.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki sighed inwardly with a hint of helplessness.

Chapter 457: Chapter 453: The End of the Arson Case and the Mystery of the Melancholy Man

Although Koshimizu Nanatsuki really wanted to get away with it, Jiang Hang wasn't someone who was so easily fooled.

Under his sharp, eagle-like gaze, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, finally understanding why Jiang Hang was known as the Eagle Eye Detective, quickly and honestly explained why she was there.

As for why she didn't choose to contact Jiang Hang to share this clue, she was still somewhat hesitant when she spoke about it.
