The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"Is there anything else you want to do before you turn yourself in to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Do you want to go home, change your clothes, put on makeup, and head to the Metropolitan Police Department in your best condition, or do you want to find a secluded place to vent all the emotions you've accumulated over the years?"

Miho Mako gently shook her head.

"No need. I've already done everything I needed to do in the week since I killed that guy with my own hands."

"I'd better get to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible and get rid of all this."

Are you liberated?

But when she learned at noon that Tsukumo Motoyasu had voluntarily allowed himself to be killed by her from the very beginning, her reaction was not as calm as it is now.

She now simply feels that she has killed the other person, regardless of whether the other person did it willingly or not; she has done it, and the detective has uncovered the whole truth.

However, she couldn't bring herself to harm Fumino, nor did she want to slink away as a loser; this was her pride as Japan's number one female magician.

Therefore, all that awaits her in the future is detention by the Metropolitan Police Department and eventual trial in court.

Chapter 503: Chapter 499: Miyoshi Asako's Advice

Because I had already called Inspector Megure beforehand to discuss this matter while I was driving.

So when Jiang Hang and his group drove to the Metropolitan Police Department, there were already several familiar-looking police officers waiting for them there.

Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi must have other cases to handle today, so the one in charge is the somewhat nerdy-looking Kazunobu Chiba.

This character is also a classic police supporting character in Detective Conan, and he receives similar treatment to Wataru Takagi.

It's roughly like Gosho Aoyama felt he hadn't had enough of drawing Takagi Wataru's romantic storyline after finishing it, so he found a minor police officer who had appeared in the early episodes. Thus, around chapters 7 or 800 of the manga, Chiba Kazunobu happily gained a childhood friend who had been separated from him for many years and was now also a police officer.

Of course, Jiang Hang's favorite thing to do is to act as a matchmaker for others.

He essentially brought Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako together through several cases, and he was also the one who created the current ambiguous relationship between Conan and Ran.

During his spare time while working with the police from the Third Investigation Division to solve cases, Jiang Hang casually mentioned these things to Chiba Kazunobu, subtly hinting at the identity of his childhood friend without much effort.

Now, these childhood sweethearts have entered a period of ambiguity after confirming each other's identities.

It's unclear whether things will work out here first, or whether Conan will break through that barrier first.

In addition, Chiba Kazunobu's otaku personality was quite similar to Jiang Hang's own. The two of them would occasionally exchange information about what anime they were watching recently. Chiba Kazunobu even visited the filming locations of Gomera and Ultraman at Da Bao Film Studio during his holidays.

With this connection, the two naturally had a very good relationship.

That's why, after greeting Jiang Hang, Chiba Kazunobu told him about the information he had just found out.

"It seems that the police from the Seventh Bureau were the ones who went to the scene to investigate this case before. Now that you're bringing the real culprit to turn yourself in, shouldn't you notify them first?"

Seven series?

Jiang Hang thought for a moment and quickly remembered.

He had dealt with the Seventh Group several times; a few months ago, the case involving Yingdu Photography Studio was handled by someone from the Seventh Group.

It was during that case that he met Keisuke Itokogiri and his superior.

Although the relationship between the two sides is certainly not as good as that between Inspector Megure, they at least have some connection.

Moreover, considering that it was the Seventh Bureau that ultimately concluded it was suicide, Jiang Hang suddenly felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, in Ace Attorney, Keisuke Itokozuke is a kind-hearted and dedicated police officer who tends to overlook some key information at crime scenes and in court.

Given that the other party's boss also seemed to be the kind of person who was somewhat easygoing, it's not too surprising that this outcome occurred.

After all, there are very few police officers like Inspector Megure who have a strong sense of justice, patience, and who have always encountered helpful people throughout their decades-long criminal investigation career.

"Then I'll call him and tell him, just in case there's any misunderstanding that could involve you."

Inside the car, Shiho Miyano watched Jiang Hang chatting happily with the police officers outside. Meanwhile, Asako Miyoshi, sitting in the back seat, suddenly asked Shiho Miyano a question.

"I don't think you two are a couple, right?"

The question startled Shiho Miyano, who then turned to look at Asako Miyoshi, as if to confirm whether the other woman had just asked her.

“Aren’t there just the two of us in the car now?” Miyoshi Asako looked at the police officers outside the car.

Perhaps because it was Jiang Hang's car, and she was a suspect personally brought by him, the police did not immediately try to arrest her, but simply stood outside the car waiting for their superiors to give instructions.

After confirming Miyoshi Asako's question again, Miyano Shiho nodded slightly, indicating that they were definitely not a couple.

"If you're interested in him, you should take the initiative a little. After all, someone like him should know how to win a girl's heart, right?"

Jianghang?

How to win a girl's heart?

Shiho Miyano looked out the car with some confusion at Jiang Hang, who had just called Keisuke Itokogiri and was now chatting with Kazunobu Chiba about late-night anime.

When did this guy learn to charm girls? She never noticed it at all.

"If you can't tell, then it means he treats all the girls he knows the same way," Miyoshi Asako shook her head slightly inside the car.

Although this was her first time meeting Jiang Hang, as a magician who needed to understand people's hearts, she could see that Jiang Hang was different from ordinary detectives.

After all, a typical detective wouldn't go shopping or have a meal with a criminal before arresting her, and might even ask her if she has any unfulfilled regrets before arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department.

If this care is shown equally to all girls, Miyoshi Asako earnestly gave Shiho Miyano a piece of advice.

"If you want to take things further with him, you first need to find a way to confirm your position in front of the other women who are close to him, otherwise you may encounter a lot of trouble in the future."

Upon hearing Miyoshi Asako's reminder, Miyano Shiho instinctively wanted to distance herself from the relationship between the two of them.

But when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't really say that she had no feelings for Jiang Hang at all.

Thinking further along what Miyoshi Asako said, it seems that what she said does make some sense.

Jiang Hang's attitude towards the girls around him was indeed the same; he would rush over to help them whenever they encountered any problems that he couldn't solve.

Whether it's those two assistants, the girl who wants to write a book about the cases Jiang Hang has experienced, or her sister and the female detective Jiang Hang has recently hooked up with from who knows where.

This was something she knew, and perhaps something she didn't know, that Jiang Hang also had connections with quite a few girls.

But the next moment, she shook her head.

Jiang Hang doesn't treat everyone this way.

Take, for example, the gangster's daughter at Yingdu Photography Studio. Jiang Hang never said a kind word to her, treating her simply as a transactional partner.

There's also the "victim" whom Jiang Hang has mentioned countless times—the one he saved who is now filing a complaint against him.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hang's attitude towards others would probably be adjusted according to the other person's personality.

Gradually, Shiho Miyano became engrossed in thinking about the girls around Jiang Hang.

It wasn't until Jiang Hang knocked on the car window that she realized what was happening.

She looked at Jiang Hang in a bit of a panic, but Jiang Hang just assumed she was lost in thought about her research topic and didn't pay any attention.

"It seems our chat is over. I should go and face my judgment. As for you, you should think carefully about your feelings for the other person before you speak."

Asako Miyoshi said this to Shiho Miyano, then opened the car door. She was greeted by Keisuke Itokogiri, who rushed over and was covered in sweat. She stretched out her hands, seemingly wanting him to handcuff her.

Keisuke Itokuro wiped his forehead somewhat awkwardly: "Because Mr. Tsukumo's case is already being treated as a suicide by the Metropolitan Police Department, and you came here to turn yourself in, you are not a suspect until our police reopen the investigation, so you do not need to be handcuffed."

Of course, this is also to give Jiang Hang face.

Jiang Hang had just given him a brief explanation of the case, which nearly blew his simple-minded brain out.

What does it mean that the person was indeed killed by the other party, but the deceased also voluntarily allowed himself to be bound by the other party's magic props, and voluntarily allowed himself to be killed knowing that the capsule given to him by the other party was poison?

So, did that world-class magician commit suicide or was he murdered?

Was this the last show the great magician performed for everyone before he died?

Unable to understand, he chose to listen to Jiang Hang.

Treat the woman who turned herself in a slightly better manner, then follow Jiang Hang's instructions to find another disciple of the famous magician Jiujiu Yuankang to take a statement. Finally, submit these statements to the prosecutor's office and let the elderly, bald judge make the final judgment in court.

Looking at the police officer in front of her, who had conducted an on-site investigation at Jiujiu's house a few days ago and, despite some doubts, had to follow his superior's instructions to conclude that she had committed suicide, Miho Mako's attitude towards her seemed quite good. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Hang, who was nodding slightly to her from the side.

This is also a way for the other person to take care of me.

That's really thoughtful.

Unfortunately, she had no future and had no intention of sharing a man with other women.

With these thoughts in mind, Miyoshi Asako followed Itokogiri Keisuke into the Metropolitan Police Department building.

Watching the other party leave, Jiang Hang began to ponder which lawyer he should hire to help him with this case.

In fact, he knows quite a few lawyers now.

Phoenix Wright, Chihiro Ayari, Eri Kisaki.

However, these lawyers all follow the proper and aboveboard approach, so having them represent Miho Mako in court would probably make them somewhat hesitant.

At this point, a better option would be to find an elite lawyer who only cares about money and has a considerable reputation in the industry.

Actually, this matter is relatively easy to handle. After all, there aren't many other things in this world, but there are plenty of random characters from movies, TV shows, and anime. Even though Jiang Hang spends all his time hanging out on the Conan set completing missions, he still often goes to watch live performances by bands or idol groups in his spare time.

For example, Jiang Hang had met the End Band not long ago because of the arson case. He had already been to one of their live performances and was quite satisfied with the result.

In short, there will naturally be no shortage of lawyers in this world.

However, before that, it's best to mention this case to Eri through Kogoro Mouri first. After all, Shichie Tsukumo is Eri's contact, and it was through Eri that she approached Kogoro Mouri, so Eri's approval is necessary.

However, there's no need to rush now, as it will take the police a few days to restart their investigation and evidence collection.

Jiang Hang returned to the car and noticed that Shiho Miyano's face seemed a little too flushed.

"Is the car's air conditioning set too high? Should I turn it down?"

As Jiang Hang said this, Shiho Miyano rolled her eyes at him.

"Take me home. I've spent so much time on this case today, I need to make up for it in the lab later."

Jiang Hang doesn't have the same dedication as Shiho Miyano.

"There's no rush in researching Drug A. If you rush the research, it might give Shinichi Kudo some inappropriate ideas."

"Although I have some connections in your organization now, it would still be quite troublesome to deal with if other members of the organization found out that Shinichi Kudo is still alive."

“I know this without you telling me. That guy’s eyes are practically drooling over Ran Mouri right now. If he were back to his original self, the first thing he’d probably do is confess his love and propose to her,” Shiho Miyano replied softly.

Before everything settles down, even if she develops a permanent antidote for Drug A, she won't give it to Conan, who has an overly strong desire to show off.
