The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

However, such words obviously couldn't fool Ran, who had been working seamlessly with Conan in various cases for quite some time.

"Professor Agasa, these kids are clearly more familiar with Jiang Hang, aren't they? They greeted Jiang Hang first before greeting that girl."

Just as Professor Agasa was at a loss for how to explain, Jiang Hang, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, stepped in to help.

"Because she is a biologist, one of her previous research projects was on the growth and development of children, and Conan was one of her research subjects, so it is normal for her to be worried now."

As Jiang Hang explained it, Ran Mouri felt that the explanation contained a great deal of information.

Based on some of the hints Jiang Hang had given her before, Ran Mouri felt that Jiang Hang must know the whole truth.

But if Jiang Hang knew Conan's identity, then what did he mean by saying that?

Biologist, subject of study?

Thinking that Ai Haibara was also someone Jiang Hang had found, Ran Mouri immediately started to imagine the possibilities.

Ai Haibara is an expert invited by Jiang Hang to study why Conan's body has shrunk. She probably knows the truth about how Conan changed from a high school student to his current appearance, which is why she is so worried about Conan's safety.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable.

Ran looked again at Shiho Miyano, who was still standing at the entrance of the emergency room, lost in thought, and couldn't help but show a grateful expression.

Hopefully, the other party can find a way to turn Conan back into the original Shinichi soon.

As things stand, although it's sometimes quite amusing to see Shinichi deliberately acting like a child and pretending to be silly, if possible, she still wants their relationship to go back to how it was before.

Shiho Miyano herself was somewhat baffled.

Just now, Kudo's girlfriend looked at him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, but now she's suddenly thanking him?

However, after glancing at Jiang Hang, she roughly knew who was responsible for all of this.

The surgery lasted about an hour.

Meanwhile, the parents of several members of the Junior Detective League also received calls to come and pick up their children. However, although these kids were quite reckless, they were incredibly loyal and insisted on waiting until Conan's surgery was over and knowing how things were going on Conan's side before they were willing to go home.

As the emergency room sign dimmed, the doctor from Mihana Hospital emerged, looking somewhat relieved, and told everyone that the surgery had proceeded normally.

Although he knew beforehand that the bullet had not damaged Conan's major organs, he was out of danger after receiving a blood transfusion.

But after everything was over and they received a concrete answer, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shiho Miyano, who had brought professional sampling tools, had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking samples on the spot when she saw Conan being wheeled out of the operating room, still pale and bloodless. She simply recorded Conan's basic physiological condition and confirmed that there should be no other physiological problems left on his body.

Despite having little clinical experience, Shiho Miyano's theoretical knowledge is absolutely top-notch.

It didn't take her long to provide a more complete answer.

In a sense, drug A probably did play a protective role, at least greatly reducing Conan's bleeding.

The doctors might think that Conan and his friends misremembered the time while they were in the cave, or they might think that the group did a good job of stopping the bleeding.

However, in reality, although current technology cannot detect any substances related to the drug A in Conan's body, the situation he is currently exhibiting seems remarkably like a series of effects caused by the drug A.

"That's all I can see for now. It seems there are still many secrets about drug A that I haven't been able to unravel. There's a lot more to research in the future."

"Let's wait a few more days for this guy to recover before we come back to collect experimental samples," Shiho Miyano said after leaving those words. She then said that she should go back and record these things first, and also start a new project.

We didn't stay in Jianghang for much longer.

He also carefully observed Conan's condition using Hawkeye. Based on his experience of being beaten up and killed by countless system brothers in the learning space, he concluded that a normal person would need to be bedridden for two weeks after suffering this level of injury.

However, given Conan's constitution, Jiang Hang suspected that he would probably only need a shorter time to fully recover.

Having reached this conclusion, he took his leave, saying that he would come back to check on Conan the next morning after he woke up.

Now that I've already mastered hacking skills, I should take a break for a while and go back to being the "helpful detective Jiang Hang".

However, the next day, when he brought Shiho Miyano to the hospital to visit Conan, who had just regained consciousness, they did encounter several unexpected people.

First is Vermouth.

To be precise, she should be Vermouth, who has stolen Araide Tomoaki's identity and openly appears before outsiders as Araide Tomoaki.

Secondly, there were the FBI agents who followed Vermouth.

Chapter 493: Chapter 489: As expected of the Templar Knights, was this all part of your scheme?

Vermouth would certainly not use her original appearance to visit Conan at the hospital under these circumstances.

She came to the hospital using the pseudonym of Shinichi Araide, which had already been exposed to the FBI.

However, she could naturally find a reason for arriving as Araide Tomoaki.

After all, Kogoro Mouri and Conan did help the police find out the truth about his father's murder a few months ago, and have maintained a good relationship with the Mouri Detective Agency ever since.

Previously, when Ran Mouri had amnesia and Conan had a severe cold, it was Vermouth who disguised herself as Tomoaki Araide to conduct a physical examination for Conan.

Now that Conan has been shot and hospitalized, it's quite normal for this doctor, who has a good relationship with the Mouri Detective Agency, to come and visit him.

Anyway, seeing the other party skillfully demonstrating the professional abilities that a doctor should have, almost no one present, except for Jiang Hang, could detect that the person in front of them, Shinichiro, was an imposter.

Ran also expressed her gratitude several times for the arrival of the newly arrived Tomoaki.

However, Shiho Miyano, who possesses the inherent radar of the brewery, is someone who falls outside the realm of "almost".

Almost the instant Araide Tomoaki appeared in Conan's hospital room, she instinctively stood behind Jiang Hang and tightly gripped his arm, as if trying to remind him that something was off about the person in front of him.

She used a little too much force, but Jiang Hang's expression didn't change at all.

He simply turned slightly to reassure Shiho Miyano that she shouldn't worry, then pretended not to know anything and began introducing Shiho Miyano to Tomoaki Araide's identity.

Almost instantly, Shiho Miyano remembered.

That person was the one who came to Professor Agasa's house that time. However, after experiencing that feeling, she stayed in her laboratory and didn't come out until the feeling subsided. Only then did she tell Conan and Jiang Hang about it.

Afterwards, after some investigation in Jianghang, she was told that the guy was actually a double agent in the organization and, in a way, already considered one of Jianghang's people, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Thinking of this, Shiho Miyano's previously stiff body relaxed a little.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened between Jiang Hang and this so-called traitor, she had enough trust in Jiang Hang, who had personally saved her sister and then stormed into the organization's research institute to take her away from the organization.

On the other hand, Vermouth, although she noticed Jiang Hang, only nodded slightly and did not care about the identity of the girl hiding behind Jiang Hang.

Only after checking that COOL GUY's condition had stabilized did she stand up and greet Jiang Hang.

"It's been a while since we last met, Mr. Jiang Hang. How have you been lately?"

Jiang Hang casually replied, "It's the same as before. When there are cases, I solve them. When there aren't any cases, I do some hobbies to pass the time."

It was only at this moment that Vermouth noticed the girl behind Jiang Hang.

The organization's intelligence had mentioned this woman, but due to their fear of Jiang Hang and the forces behind him, they had not investigated this suddenly appearing woman.

According to Bourbon's guess, this woman had only recently acquired her identity and was most likely a talent cultivated by the foundation from a young age.

When Vermouth's gaze fell on Shiho Miyano, even though she knew the other party was a traitor, the feeling of the organization still made Shiho Miyano feel a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Hang took the initiative to introduce her: "This is Ai Haibara, a researcher I specially invited from abroad. However, she has a rather cold personality and doesn't like to communicate with strangers."

Shiho Miyano also adopted a cool expression and nodded slightly to the other party, which was considered a greeting.

Ai Haibara...

I didn't associate the name with anything useful, but Vermouth herself didn't intend to delve into it.

The only thing that bothered her was what exactly this researcher was researching.

Her gaze fell on Conan on the hospital bed, and an answer immediately came to her mind.

So that's how it is... They wanted to bypass their organization and study the changes in Conan's body?

That's a brilliant tactic; no wonder he's a legendary Templar Knight.

He probably started planning this as soon as he arrived in Japan.

It took him several months to build a good relationship with Conan and the people around him. It's even possible that Conan asked him to study his body.

Even if he doesn't come up with anything from the research, it won't have any impact. But if he does come up with something, it will probably make his status as the heir more secure.

As she pondered this, Vermouth vaguely felt that she might have overlooked some things.

However, she could also sense that even if she found the overlooked thing, it would be difficult to affect Jiang Hang, who had gradually built up his influence in Japan.

At least, the foundation has kept a low profile most of the time, allowing COOL GUY to be studied by them without even restricting his personal freedom.

That alone makes her organization far superior.

So, it's best to continue with the status quo.

After imagining a whole host of things, Vermouth simply greeted a few people and left the hospital.

She may have left, but the FBI agents won't just leave so easily.

The FBI's mission in Japan was to document Vermouth's every move after arriving in the country and to identify any unusual or bizarre behaviors.

And now, the hospital room where Conan is staying is already showing some signs of this.

As the commander of this FBI team, James Black is now carefully studying the people on this list.

The three members of the Mori Detective Agency had a connection with Tomoaki Araide because of a past case, and they continued to keep in touch even after Vermouth took over Tomoaki Araide's identity.

Looking at this one family alone, it seems that apart from being involved in all sorts of strange cases for several months, there is nothing particularly special about them.

Compared to Jiang Hang in the ward, who has the right to inherit the Pioneer Foundation, Vermouth's target should be him, no matter how you look at it.

But their agents, through their investigation of Vermouth's residence, discovered that photos of the little boy who had been shot and the girl were always hanging in her home.

This seems to imply that Jiang Hang is not important, and that Vermouth is actually after these two people.

"In any case, let's discuss whether we should first contact the foundation's heir before investigating these two individuals?"

His gaze was fixed on Jodie and Shuichi Akai.

Both of them had been in close contact with Jiang Hang, and he needed to get their thoughts from these two capable men before he could make any further decisions.

Chapter 494: Chapter 490: How could Vermouth be an undercover agent?

What are your impressions of Jianghang?

James Black looked at his two subordinates, who were gradually getting used to life in Japan, and asked them a question.

“This guy is tough to deal with, and I think he definitely has some kind of connection with the Black Organization.”
