The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

It was no different from what Jiang Hang had thought.

He was indeed somewhat worried that Miyoshi Asako might take advantage of the innocent girl based on the last words left by Tsukumo Motoyasu.

So he borrowed the identity of one of Tsukumo Shichie's friends and, while attending the funeral, suggested that if she had any doubts about her husband's death, she might be able to find a detective to help investigate.

After a few gentle reminders, Shichie Tsukumo sought help from Eri Kisaki, with whom she had interacted a few times before, and eventually, naturally, she approached Kogoro Mouri to request his services.

At the last minute, some problems arose because Conan was shot, which led to Kogoro Mouri entrusting the case to Jiang Hang.

So, Kuroba Toichi, who was secretly protecting Tsukumo Fumino, had his identity exposed by Jiang Hang.

However, since Kuroba Toichi already had the status of an unofficial employee of the Foundation, after confirming that Jiang Hang could easily see through his disguise, Kuroba Toichi stopped pretending and simply revealed his identity to Jiang Hang, so that he would stop trying so hard to greet him.

The only thing that bothered Jiang Hang was that Kuroba Toichi seemed to know about Kogoro Mouri's situation as well.

"Although my brother and I haven't had any contact for many years, it shouldn't be difficult for me, as your uncle, to recognize my nephew."

"Speaking of which, it seems that you've tricked both my son and my nephew quite a few times lately."

Hearing Black Feather Thief drop another bombshell with a blank expression, Jiang Hang's eyelids twitched.

"You're Yusaku Kudo's younger brother, his biological brother?"

Kuroba Touichi held up one finger and shook it: "I am his twin brother."

"To be precise, Kuroba Yusaku was his original name, but after our parents separated, he took his mother's surname and changed his surname to Kudo."

Chapter 502: Chapter 498: Conan, look who's here!

So you really are a family?

After listening to Kuroba Toichi recount what happened back then, and then to how his younger brother, by a twist of fate, gave him the codename "Phantom Thief Kid," he even went so far as to appear in front of his younger brother and nephew as Phantom Thief Kid, jokingly referring to the young Shinichi Kudo as "the other's younger brother."

He then went on to say that he faked his death for eight years, and when he returned to Japan, he discovered that his long-lost nephew had also followed his example and faked his death to escape.

However, compared to his situation back then, Shinichi Kudo's situation is more dramatic, as his body has shrunk for some unknown reason.

Fortunately, he remembered what Shinichi Kudo looked like when he was a child, and like Shiho Miyano, he noticed that Shinichi Kudo's childhood clothes were missing from the Kudo family home, which led him to conclude that Conan was Shinichi Kudo.

So, perhaps the other party has already tested Conan by appearing around him in disguise more than once before?

However, Jiang Hang didn't ask about these things.

After all, he didn't have a high degree of control over Hawkeye before, and he couldn't use Hawkeye's power as freely as he does now. Back then, it was naturally difficult for him to find the traces of Kuroba Toichi, who had received assassin training.

After listening to the other party's description, Jiang Hang mentally scoffed.

It's been serialized for almost 30 years, and suddenly this news breaks out. Isn't this a bit too hasty?

But after hearing the news, Jiang Hang didn't feel much emotional fluctuation.

After all, he had known since childhood that Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba had the same face, and that their fathers looked exactly alike.

Even their girlfriends look strikingly similar.

The speculation that the two are cousins ​​has been quite popular ever since Kaito Kid first appeared in the Conan storyline. However, Gosho Aoyama has never given a direct response to this question throughout the many years of serialization.

Now, after transmigrating, he personally confirmed this news with Kuroba Toichi, and he only felt a sense of taking it for granted.

To be honest, what really bothered Jiang Hang was, given the setting that the older generation is always more awesome than the younger generation in Conan's world, what kind of awesome characters must the parents who gave birth to the two brothers be?

Moreover, to be honest, the surname Kuroba seems to have some connection with Karasuma Renya, the founder of the Black Organization.

Since Kudo Yusaku took his mother's surname, perhaps the Karasuma family and the Kuroba family had some unknown connection decades or even longer ago?

Even if someone suddenly appeared and told him that Karasuma Renya was actually Kudo Yusaku's great-grandfather, Jiang Hang felt that he could completely accept this fact.

In short, after recounting all these matters, Kuroba Touichi felt that he had said almost everything he needed to say during his meeting with Jiang Hang.

He is still a "dead man" after all. Even if he has a disguise skill that is one or two levels higher than his own son's, it is not appropriate for him to appear in public for too long.

However, Jiang Hang was, after all, his "superior." As an unofficial employee, after confirming that the other party's eagle eyes could see through him, he still had to come over and greet him to avoid an awkward situation if he were caught on the spot.

After exchanging their secret contact information and Jiang Hang revealing the location of his secret hideout in the art museum, Kuroba Toichi bid farewell to Jiang Hang.

"In short, please continue to keep my affairs a secret from my two good-for-nothing juniors. When the time is right, I will confess to them myself."

Watching Kuroba Touichi casually turn his head in front of him, then wave his hand in front of his face as if changing his expression, and even his temperament was completely different from before, Jiang Hang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"If you have the chance later, could you help me train my newly recruited assassin apprentices? I'll definitely come to the event and learn from you."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Hei Yu Dao Yi simply waved his hand, his attitude unclear, before quickly disappearing into the alley.

Watching the other person leave, Jiang Hang couldn't help but mutter, "He really endured humiliation and carried a heavy burden. He faked his death for eight years, hiding it from his wife and son. Now that he's back in Japan, he still has to keep it a secret from the other party, just to find an opportunity to completely overthrow that zoo."

Only after confirming that Kuroba Toichi's figure had disappeared into the distance did he ask a question to the assassin system in his mind, which had not spoken for a long time.

"So, System, you should give me an explanation now. It's one thing that the Foundation you created has completely distorted the history of this world from half a century ago, but how come you've also secretly brought in Kuroba Toichi, an important character in the story, and trained him to be an assassin master?"

"Ding--"

"According to the system's detection, there is no problem with the development trajectory of the Pioneer Foundation. Please do not worry about it."

Okay, okay, if you're still being stubborn, then there's no problem.

I just hope the foundation can slow down its pace of rewriting history.

Don't wait until he suddenly wakes up one day to find himself surrounded by the leaders of a villainous organization, and then kneels down and submits to him on the spot, doing something as awkward as "The three-year term has come to an end, please return to your throne, Dragon King."

Unaware that his system was already drenched in sweat, Jiang Hang casually made a comment before turning around and returning to the restaurant he had been in.

His conversation with Kuroba Toichi lasted about twenty minutes, so when he returned, their table was already being served food.

However, it seemed that they were all still waiting for him to come back, so none of them had started eating yet.

"Sorry we took a while, everyone hurry up and eat."

After apologizing, Jiang Hang sat back down in his seat.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang return, Shiho Miyano cast an inquiring glance at him, as if asking if there was any danger and if he needed any help.

Jiang Hang gave her a reassuring look.

"I wanted to invite an old friend I hadn't seen for many years to have dinner with me, but his situation is a bit special. He can't leave his job right now, so I had to give up."

Although Sanada Ichizo and Miyoshi Asako both felt that Jiang Hang's departure must have had a more important reason, they, who had only recently met Jiang Hang, naturally couldn't say anything about such a private matter.

With most people not having much of an appetite, it was probably only the clueless Xiaowennai and the all-knowing Jiang Hang who were enjoying their meal the most.

After having dinner and resting for a while, Jiang Hang took Fumino to Beika Hospital, where Conan was, as agreed beforehand.

Kogoro Mouri isn't in his hospital room right now; he's probably outside the hospital smoking or doing something else to pass the time.

However, Ran stayed in Conan's hospital room the whole time to take care of him.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Jiang Hang, who had just received a request from his father that morning, bring some strangers she had never met before to Conan's place after noon.

However, Jiang Hang did not explain directly to her, but instead spoke directly to Conan on the hospital bed.

"Conan, look who's here!"

Almost the moment she arrived at Conan's hospital room, a look of heartache appeared in Fumino's eyes as she ran to Conan with the gift she had prepared.

"Conan, after I learned from Jiang Hang that you were injured and couldn't attend my birthday party tomorrow, I bought you some gifts. I hope you recover soon."

Ran Mouri, standing to the side, looked at the little girl's attentive manner and a strange expression appeared on her face.

Besides Ayumi from the Detective Boys, why is there another girl who seems to like Conan now?

What exactly did this guy do in elementary school?

Meanwhile, the one who was truly feeling overwhelmed was Conan, who was lying in his hospital bed.

He first looked closely at the little girl's face, and with a little effort, he remembered that she seemed to be a classmate from the next class whom he had spoken to once or twice. Then, he felt a little nauseous because of the worried look on her face and the relieved look on Jiang Hang's face as he brought the little girl over.

I'm already in this state, and I finally get to have a peaceful chat with Xiaolan in the hospital room. Are you going to try to upset me like this?

Yes, he did receive a birthday party invitation from this little girl.

But he never intended to attend her birthday party, and he had no idea that this girl, whom he had barely spoken to, would have such feelings for him!

Isn't Jiang Hang's sudden move an attempt to smear someone's reputation?

But what could Conan do when he saw the little girl's tearful, worried face?

We can't really kick this little girl out, can we?

Therefore, he could only tell the little girl, with a sense of despair, that he was fine and would probably be discharged from the hospital in a week or two at most, and that he would go back to school to play with her again.

Upon receiving such a reply, Fumino Tsukumo smiled happily and even made a pinky promise with Conan.

Amid Ran's "smiling" expression, Conan awkwardly made a pinky promise with her.

After doing all this, Jiang Hang used the excuse that "Conan's injury hasn't healed yet and he needs to rest now" to lead the reluctant Fumino out of the ward.

"This little girl insisted on visiting Conan after she found out he was injured, so I brought her along," Jiang Hang said to Ran outside the ward.

Upon learning that the little girl was the daughter of the client her father had been dealing with, Xiaolan's gaze instantly turned to pity, and any resentment she had harbored towards Jiang Hang vanished completely.

Jiang Hang is indeed a good person.

Okay, she'll have to go back to the ward later to remind Conan that after he returns to school, he should spend more time talking to this little girl whose father has passed away.

Conan, sitting in the hospital room, suddenly shivered and muttered to himself again how Jiang Hang was such a jerk.

"By the way, you can tell your father that I've basically resolved this case, and the criminal will be turning himself in to the Metropolitan Police Department soon."

Xiao Lan nodded. Having known Jiang Hang for so long, she knew he was known for his efficiency in solving cases. Since Jiang Hang said so, the case must have been successfully resolved.

Little did she know that the so-called criminal was actually just a few meters away from her, chatting with the daughter of the person she had killed.

After saying goodbye to Ran again, Jiang Hang led Fumino, who had bought a lot of clothes, to the hospital entrance, and looked at Sanada Ichizo.

"Next, I'll leave it to you to take Fumino home and explain the whole truth to your teacher's wife. Ms. Miyoshi Asako and I will go and handle the rest now."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you feel uncomfortable saying these things to your teacher's wife, I can personally visit her later to explain the situation."

Sanada Ichizo shook his head: "Let me do it. After all, that's what my teacher said to me back then. In the days since the case happened, I've been pretending that I don't know anything. I also feel a little guilty towards my teacher's wife. So let me explain to her myself everything my teacher did back then."

Sanada Ichizo bowed to Jiang Hang in gratitude, and then made a farewell gesture to Miyoshi Asako.

Just as Jiang Hang said, no matter what fate awaits Sanhao Mazi, this may be the last time these two senior and junior classmates, who have known each other for three or four years, will meet.

After doing all this, Sanada Ichizo, along with the slightly puzzled Tsukumo Fumino, hailed a taxi and left the place first.

After Sanada Ichizo left, Jiang Hang turned to look at Miyoshi Asako.
