The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

As for what Shizuka Sakaki and the others would investigate next, Jiang Hang thought for a moment. There was still a lot of work to be done on the suicide websites. In the meantime, he could try to have the two of them contact the suicide websites and small groups in Tokyo to see if they could get any useful information from the administrators of these websites.

Upon learning from Jiang Hang that such a barbaric website could possibly exist in this modern society, Shizuka Sakaki appeared somewhat shocked.

"I'm also organizing these materials right now. I'll send you a copy once I'm done. You can investigate them yourselves in private. If you find any useful clues, your bonuses and salaries will all be doubled this month."

"However, you'd better be fully prepared before you go to investigate, so as not to alert the enemy."

After organizing this information, he sent a copy of the suicide website information and his personal speculations to the detectives he knew and had a fairly good relationship with: Conan, Heiji Hattori, Ikumi Gunta, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and even Hakuba Saguru, whose father was the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Only Mogi Harufumi, who spends most of his time abroad, was temporarily put aside by him. After all, the suicide website was ultimately a problem specific to Japan and didn't have such a close relationship with other countries.

The famous detectives who received these messages were all quite polite. After all, which famous detective hasn't encountered a suicide victim in all sorts of strange cases?

In the past, most of them would observe the appearance of the deceased at the crime scene, rule out the possibility of homicide, and then stop investigating the reasons for the death—even if it was the inducement of a suicide website, it could not induce a mentally sound person to commit suicide.

Those who are swayed by them are the ones whose attitudes are not so firm, and then, with just a slight push at a crucial moment, they are the pitiful ones who plunge those who commit suicide into an abyss of no return.

If these people were handed over to detectives for deduction, they would naturally be able to deduce the main reasons for their suicides.

Therefore, they all overlooked the possibility that those suicide cases might have been orchestrated by someone in the dark, until Jiang Hang discovered the existence of this suicide website, which made them realize that they might have been involved in one of the cases in the past, and their reasoning had neglected such a crucial clue.

After establishing the "Anti-Suicide Website Team," Jiang Hang actually obtained a lot of valuable clues from these famous detectives in various places. In fact, the police also cracked down on many administrators who operated suicide websites based on these clues.

Of all these clues, the one that really caught Jiang Hang's attention the most was a list of "suicide hotspots" that Hattori Heiji had sent him.

In this document, Hattori Heiji compiled a list of the places with the highest number of suicides in Japan over the past decade. Apart from the long-established suicide sites, one place in Gunma Prefecture, which had suddenly emerged in the last four or five years and was known as the "Head God Forest," caught Jiang Hang's attention.

Four or five years ago, this forest seemed unremarkable on the internet. But in the years since the rise of the internet, the suicide rate in this place has suddenly skyrocketed. Local legends have even begun to circulate that "anyone with troubles who enters the forest will be bewitched by the head god and will never be able to leave."

Jiang Hang pondered for a while about this place, which seemed to be a man-made "suicide hotspot," and decided to go there this weekend to see if he could find any clues.

Of course, there is another, rather crucial reason – Jiang Hang has owned the AE86 for so long, but he has never actually been to Gunma Prefecture, which is not far from Tokyo.

You should know that the famous Mount Akina is located in Gunma.

He's already acquired the riding skill. Tonight, he'll work overtime to upgrade the skill to intermediate level using a skill book. After that, he can take a ride on Mount Akina with the intermediate skill, and that will make the trip worthwhile.

Moreover, in this chaotic and mixed world, there might actually be a Fujiwara tofu shop on Mount Akina in this world?

While Jiang Hang was preparing for his weekend trip to Gunma, Takagi Wataru also sent news of the latest developments in the Shushiro case.

Jiang Hang's reasoning was correct.

When Sato Masayoshi shouted "go to the police" before he died, he was indeed shouting it to a close friend from his middle school baseball team.

Officer Sato identified the perpetrator by noticing in a mere ten seconds of surveillance footage that the way the assailant held the gun was similar to the way a friend from his baseball team held a baseball bat in a strange way.

In short, after learning that the murderer was likely an acquaintance of Officer Sato, Wataru Takagi spent the entire day reviewing case files at the Metropolitan Police Department. Finally, on the anniversary of Sato Masayoshi's death, while accompanying Sato Miwako to pay her respects, he encountered several people who were also there to mourn her father.

After that, he only tested the waters slightly, and in front of Sato Miwako, he said that the truth behind "Shuseirou" might mean "to turn himself in," and he successfully found out the real murderer by relying on the reactions on those people's faces.

With the criminal's psychological defenses broken down, he and Sato Miwako easily got the information out of him about the whereabouts of the hidden money. This case, which had remained unsolved for twenty years, was thus resolved in a somewhat sudden manner.

"After the criminal confessed to what happened back then, Officer Sato seemed to have a weight lifted off his shoulders. He not only treated me to a meal but also invited me to see an idol's concert this weekend. I feel like I have a great chance now. Anyway, thank you so much for this. If Officer Sato and I really get together, I'll definitely make you my son's godfather in the future!" Takagi Wataru said excitedly on the other end of the phone, talking about his plans for the weekend as if things had already gone smoothly.

Chapter 460: Chapter 456: You're not some imposter who popped up out of nowhere, are you?

Jiang Hang wasn't particularly enthusiastic about being someone's godfather.

Not to mention that although Takagi Wataru seems to have a great advantage now, he is still a long way from the day when they will get married.

Besides, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato are both still in the prime of their careers, so even if they get married, they probably won't have children anytime soon.

It's probably going to be many years before their child is born, and Jiang Hang definitely won't live to see that day come before the main storyline of Detective Conan ends.

To put it bluntly, by the time the Conan storyline ends, Jiang Hang will probably already be the world's number one detective. Whether he will stay in this world then will depend on the system's attitude.

Therefore, during the phone call, Jiang Hang only expressed encouragement to Takagi Wataru, and then inquired about the Metropolitan Police Department's attitude towards the suicide websites.

When it came to this matter, Takagi Wataru didn't actually know much more detail.

After all, the case of the suicide website had been handed over to another team to handle. He only knew that a lot of people had been arrested in the past few days, but it seemed that most of them were scapegoats pushed out to take the blame. The real big fish had not yet surfaced.

As for these suicide websites, they will naturally be shut down one by one in the near future.

The progress from the Metropolitan Police Department was not beyond Jiang Hang's expectations.

In fact, after realizing that something was wrong with the suicide websites they had previously investigated, they quickly abandoned those sites and switched to new ones. They even sent private messages to some of the elderly users on the sites, reminding them of the new sites they were about to switch to.

With Miyano Akemi's perfect cooperation over the past few days, Jiang Hang has actually made a name for himself on one of the websites. Some people have even taken the initiative to contact him through the website's backend, wanting to chat and make connections. He has indeed received the URLs of these new websites, which naturally saves him the trouble of searching for these suicidal websites in the vast internet again.

The other side is still quite cautious right now, but if Miyano Akemi comes up with a few more suitable aliases to make Jiang Hang more visible, then things should be more stable.

However, Jiang Hang still needs to hurry up a bit.

After all, if the Metropolitan Police Department takes significant action, the people behind these websites might go into hiding for a while after they hear about it, and then reappear once the storm has passed.

If Jiang Hang hasn't infiltrated their ranks by the time they make that choice, who knows how much longer he'll have to wait until the Metropolitan Police Department's crackdown phase ends and he finds an opportunity.

"But being impatient won't help. I can't exactly have Miyano Akemi play multiple roles on the website at the same time and then give me an achievement for killing multiple people in one day."

If it happens too many times, people will start to get suspicious. After all, no matter how capable a person is, they can only abduct a few people at a time at most, and no one can make someone give up everything and choose suicide so quickly.

Jiang Hang understood the principle that haste makes waste.

So Jiang Hang has been chatting with Miyano Akemi every day with two or three different IPs, showing up online as aliases from all over the country, and each time the luring lasts no less than five days, and it's not impossible to create a script that lasts for several months.

When the weekend came, Jiang Hang took Yoshino Kiharu to Gunma Prefecture—Shizuka Sakaki didn't go this time because the detective show that Jiang Hang had recorded last time had officially aired the night before last.

The Spider Mansion case is a complex case involving multiple issues, and such cases that can involve everything are naturally more likely to get higher viewership.

As for Sakaki Shizuka, who received Jiang Hang's full support, she immediately gained considerable popularity online thanks to her impeccable makeup and excellent professional skills. It is said that some people have already begun to call Sakaki Shizuka a once-in-a-century beautiful girl detective.

In addition, Shizuka Sakaki also has another identity as a voice actress. Although she does not have a major work yet, the Ultraman production team took the opportunity to release a promotional video of Shizuka Sakaki voicing a monster before it was even broadcast, which immediately made countless netizens exclaim about the contrast.

In short, the Ultraman production team gained some popularity even before the show aired, and Shizuka Sakaki, aspiring voice actress, was noticed by many agencies and animation directors who invited her to audition for certain roles.

Although Shizuka Sakaki had previously rejected directors who wanted to use her to ride on Jiang Hang's popularity, this time, among those who contacted her, there were also people who genuinely valued her voice-changing ability. After selecting a few suitable animation production teams, Shizuka Sakaki decided to give it another try.

Therefore, this trip to Gunma Prefecture was only taken by him and Yoshino Kiharu.

Now, sitting in the passenger seat, Yoshino Kiharu's heart was racing.

"Boss... could you drive a little slower? I... I'm starting to panic," she said nervously, gripping the handrail inside the car.

Imagine how flustered she must be to be someone who's used to being called by name and now has to obediently call her "boss."

Yoshino Koharu is genuinely scared right now.

When she first joined the firm, Jiang Hang always had her drive. He was usually very steady when he drove, though not slow, but his driving was definitely safe.

Compared to Jiang Hang at that time, Kiharu Yuno even wondered if she had a bit of a talent for driving.

Who knew that on the way to Gunma Prefecture, Jiang Hang seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

After driving the car out of Tokyo and onto a less congested off-road, the car's speed practically doubled instantly.

This isn't driving, this is showing off driving skills and racing!

Even as she was passing a downhill bend, Yoshino experienced a sudden cardiac arrest for the first time in her life.

The car feels quite stable inside, but outside it's almost touching the edge of a cliff, and you might even feel like you're about to fly off the road at any moment during a high-speed drift. That's the real contrast!

Seeing that even the passenger in the passenger seat, Yuno Kiharu, seemed unable to withstand the high speeds of the intermediate riding, Jiang Hang, concerned about the physical and mental well-being of his employees, naturally stopped driving fast.

Anyway, after he finishes investigating this case, he'll go to Mount Akina a few more times to experience the feeling of going around the drainage ditch and the famous five consecutive hairpin bends, and that'll be enough for him.

With the car parked on the side of the road, Jiang Hang gave Kiharu Yuno time to recover.

Yoshino Koharu's performance was quite good; her experience at the agency over the past few months has been effective.

At least she didn't vomit on the spot after parking.

Judging from the way she wiped her forehead, she probably wouldn't dare to ride in Jiang Hang's car for a while after this incident.

The feeling of dancing on the edge of a cliff, just a hair's breadth away, is incredibly thrilling.

Although Yoshino Koharu's ideal has always been to become a special person, it seems that racing is probably out of the question now.

Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Hang with some curiosity.

Since Jiang Hang has such good driving skills, why didn't we see it in him before?

"Actually, I personally respect traffic rules quite a bit. It's just that Gunma Prefecture is a bit different. Among all the prefectures in Japan, it is one of the regions with the most intense racing atmosphere, so I was a little itchy to race."

Listening to Jiang Hang's explanation, although Mu Chunyun felt that it was just Jiang Hang talking nonsense, she was still somewhat interested in this so-called racing range.

Before coming to Gunma, Jiang Hang had naturally conducted some research on the situation there.

What can be confirmed is that the racing atmosphere in Gunma is indeed quite strong, with various racing teams and talented drivers emerging one after another.

"I only used less than 60% of my strength today. After this investigation is over, I plan to give it my all and challenge Mount Akina, the most famous mountain in Gunma Prefecture."

Even without considering racing, Mount Akina is one of the most famous mountains in Gunma Prefecture, and many schools in Gunma even include it in their school songs.

When Jiang Hang briefly mentioned the mountain road racing to Muchun Yuno, Muchun Yuno immediately backed down again.

If Jiang Hang really wanted to race, she would absolutely not sit in the passenger seat.

There's not much of a problem if you just look at it from the roadside.

Looking at the expression on Muchun Yuno's face, Jiang Hang could more or less guess what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems his performance just now really scared the other party.

This is nothing. His intermediate riding skill is completely useless on the AE86, which means he can't unleash the true power of the skill.

Besides, Conan also has Amuro Tooru, whose driving skills have reached a level of perfection. He's already using real cars to perform the same skills that appeared in Let's & Go!!, and there are some maneuvers that even Jiang Hang, driving his AE86, isn't confident he can pull off.

If Yoshino Koharu were to ride in Tooru Amuro's car, wouldn't she just faint on the spot?

It seems that Yuno Kiharu still has a lot to improve.

After muttering this to himself, Jiang Hang continued driving.

This time, he didn't show off his skills; he simply drove the car to their destination—the 'Aoi-ya Inn' located on the edge of the Toujin Forest.

This is also the closest hotel to this suicide hotspot that has emerged in recent years.

The hotel owner must be the person who knows best how the message about this suicide hotspot arose.

Perhaps this rumor was deliberately fabricated by the business owner to attract customers?

Of course, these are just Jiang Hang's baseless speculations.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, shortly after his car stopped at the parking lot of the Aoi-ya Hotel, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
