The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

After being sent back to Professor Agasa's research institute, Shiho Miyano waved goodbye to Jiang Hang.

Then she watched Jiang Hang drive away from the doorway, but all she could think about were the things that Miho Mako had told her in the car.

Finally, she gently patted her face, telling herself that now was not the time to think about that.

"Besides, given that guy's personality, he won't be so easily taken down by someone else..."

Shiho Miyano thought to herself, but felt she should still find time to exchange information with her older sister and see if she had any good suggestions.

Jiang Hang, completely unaware that Miyoshi Asako had exposed a certain girl's secret feelings, hummed a song as he returned to the building downstairs of his office.

But as soon as he got back downstairs, he noticed that there seemed to be several familiar strangers around his office.

"Well, I was originally planning to find time to meet them myself, but I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to contact me instead?"

Jiang Hang muttered this to himself.

It seems the FBI has finally made a decision.

I don't know why they're coming to find me now.

Jiang Hang felt that it wasn't his private meeting with Vermouth that had been discovered.

When he met with Vermouth, Hawkeye was basically kept half-open to ensure that there were no other surveillance devices inside the car and that no FBI or Distillery intelligence personnel were observing their movements from a distance outside the car.

"It can't be that the FBI has encountered a case they can't solve and needs my help, can it?"

Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang quickly spotted Shuichi Akai among these familiar strangers.

To be precise, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding him at all; they simply appeared openly downstairs at his house and waited for him to return.

Chapter 504: Chapter 500: Shuichi Akai's Showdown

Shuichi Akai's appearance is still easy to recognize. Compared to when they met at the bus robbery, Shuichi Akai's appearance has not changed much since then.

With his black knit hat and collared jacket, his unsmiling face, and a hint of menace in his eyes, he was the kind of person you could tell was not to be messed with at first glance.

Seeing that Shuichi Akai, who was leaning against the wall, had noticed him, Jiang Hang nodded to him in acknowledgment.

"You're the passenger who subdued the robber during the last bus robbery, right? Is there something you need now that you've come to me for a request?" Jiang Hang didn't expose the other person's disguise, treating him as just an ordinary client with whom he had a slight connection before.

"It's already December, and it's a bit cold waiting outside. If you want to find me, just come into the office."

Although Jiang Hang left early this morning, there must be people in the office.

If he remembers correctly, it should be Yoshino Kiharu on duty at the agency today.

It's not really a shift; it's just taking notes when someone calls and screening the requests from these clients.

When there's no call from the client and no information to investigate in Jianghang, it's actually quite comfortable to stay in the firm.

Watching TV or playing computer games doesn't matter.

However, they still cherish this job.

Especially after they could clearly feel that they were getting positive feedback no matter what they did after becoming Jiang Hang's detective assistant, and that their learning efficiency was much higher than usual, these girls were much more enthusiastic about learning than they were in school.

Besides studying case files to broaden her knowledge, Yoshino Kiharu is also taking time to study law with Chihiro Ayasato, seemingly planning to take the bar exam if she has the opportunity in the next two years.

With the support from the system, Jiang Hang had considerable confidence in Muchun Yuno.

Shuichi Akai, who was standing at the entrance of the agency, took out his work ID.

"I don't think what we're about to say is appropriate for that girl at the agency to know, what do you think?"

Looking at the FBI badge in the other person's hand, Jiang Hang couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't a work ID from their Pioneer Foundation, otherwise Jiang Hang would have seriously suspected that his own system had already secretly unified the world.

Jiang Hang really didn't expect the other party to be so honest.

There was no pretense whatsoever, and no nonsense.

They immediately took out their FBI credentials and told me who they were.

"An FBI agent came all the way to Japan and came looking for an ordinary detective like me. It seems you've run into quite a bit of trouble."

As Jiang Hang said this, he opened the door of the agency and spoke to Shuichi Akai.

"Don't worry, my assistant is quite professional. She will never ask questions that she shouldn't ask. Let's go inside and talk slowly."

He added, "By the way, you should let your guys go back and rest. Christmas is just two weeks away, and they still have to stay in Japan to carry out missions. You FBI agents really have a tough job."

Seeing Jiang Hang's calm expression, showing no surprise at all from the FBI credentials he produced, Shuichi Akai understood the situation.

An ordinary detective?

Let alone Japan, even in the whole world, this man is definitely a very special person.

Moreover, judging from Jiang Hang's current reaction, he clearly already knew the identities of his group, so he wasn't worried at all about what they might do to him.

It seems that choosing to directly reveal one's identity was not a wrong decision.

If he continues to conceal his identity when contacting Jiang Hang, the other party will likely pretend to know nothing and engage in a power struggle with him.

This will probably only waste more of their time.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Shuichi Akai put away his identification documents and took out a small walkie-talkie.

After saying something that sounded like a code into the walkie-talkie, he followed Jiang Hang into the office.

Not far from the office, Judy Starling, who was responsible for observing the situation from a distance, listened to the retreat signal from Shuichi Akai on the walkie-talkie. Her expression looked slightly unhappy.

They had agreed to confront Jiang Hang together, but when they got to Akai Shuichi's place, it turned into a private meeting between the two of them.

However, since this operation was initiated by Shuichi Akai himself, she has no choice but to follow his instructions.

"Hopefully, Shuichi can get some useful information from them, as long as it's not like Vermouth is also an undercover agent or something," Jodie Starl muttered to herself, before telling the nearby FBI agents that they could call it a day.

She stayed nearby, hoping to get the information as soon as Akai Shuichi and Jiang Hang finished their conversation.

As soon as Shuichi Akai and Hang Jiang entered the office, they felt that the temperature was much warmer than outside.

Jiang Hang briefly explained his work to Yoshino Kino, then turned to Shuichi Akai and asked, "Coffee or tea?"

"Or do you usually prefer rye whiskey?"

"However, I'm sorry, I personally don't really like drinking, so apart from some beer sent by a colleague who likes to drink, there are no other alcoholic beverages in the office."

Upon hearing the word "rye whiskey," Shuichi Akai's eyes seemed to deepen.

Do you even know his code name in the organization?

How much does this man actually know about the organization?

He didn't think that Jiang Hang's casual remark had just happened to hit the nail on the head regarding his code name in the organization.

But as a seasoned agent, he certainly wouldn't show weakness at this moment.

Therefore, he simply responded with a faint smile: "Actually, I drink very little now. If I must drink, I will only occasionally taste bourbon or Scotch whisky."

"Of course, what I really want to taste right now is absinthe, which is also the main reason why we came to Japan from the United States."

"But since there are no alcoholic beverages, just give me a regular black coffee."

Jiang Hang nodded, his heart unmoved.

The love-hate relationship between you and Bourbon has been featured in several theatrical films, so there's nothing strange about it.

So, as expected, Vermouth slipped up and the FBI found traces of their meeting.

Given Vermouth's skill in disguise, it's hard not to suspect that she deliberately revealed such a flaw when she already knew she was being watched by the FBI.

Is this a way to align themselves with the Pioneers Foundation?

Or is it that Vermouth's woman is trying to clear her name in this way?

Jiang Hang pondered this in his mind, then asked Muchun Yuno to make two cups of coffee and bring them in, and told her not to let anyone else disturb their conversation.

Seemingly sensing the seriousness in Jiang Hang's tone, and realizing that their firm was about to receive another big case, Mu Chun Yuno quickly nodded and went to make coffee.

While Yuno Kiharu was making coffee, the two people on the sofa remained silent, seemingly pondering where to begin.

It wasn't until Yoshino Koharu brought the piping hot coffee and left the room that Shuichi Akai broke the silence.

“Mr. Jiang Hang, since your Pioneer Foundation knows my identity, you should be able to guess the purpose of my visit.”

Jiang Hang nodded: "You mean the winery you infiltrated as an undercover agent five years ago?"

“I am aware of that, of course. I know your code name in that organization is Rye Whiskey, and the alias you use is Moroboshi Dai.”

“I also know that when you were trying to take down Gin, the mission failed due to some mistakes by the FBI, which exposed your undercover identity and forced you to flee the distillery.”

Perhaps it was the first time Akai Shuichi had heard someone use the word "drinkhouse" to describe the organization, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

As expected of the powerful Pioneer Foundation, not only are they so clear about what happened to that organization, but they can also give it such a fitting nickname.

I wonder how the people in that organization will react after they find out about this nickname.

However, Shuichi Akai nodded and continued, "According to our FBI investigation, you seem to have met with a member of an organization that our FBI has been investigating for quite some time."

"Furthermore, our subsequent investigations have revealed that the organization member's current mission target seems to have been in frequent contact with you recently, so we wanted to come and verify the specifics with you."

Hideaki Akai paused for a moment, then asked Jiang Hang seriously, "I won't beat around the bush, is that Vermouth an undercover agent from your Pioneer Foundation who infiltrated that organization?"

Upon hearing the question, Jiang Hang had already had a similar thought, but he didn't expect that Shuichi Akai also had the same suspicion.

However, considering Vermouth's current attitude, Jiang Hang felt that even if he protected her first, there wouldn't be too many problems.

After all, Vermouth doesn't care much about the survival of the brewery right now, and she even seems to be subtly pushing things along.

Of course, whether this was Vermouth's own idea or the idea of ​​the mysterious boss of the brewery, Jiang Hang still doesn't know.

However, it is indeed mentioned in the comics that the brewery is not very peaceful inside.

With that boss unable to make frequent public appearances, there's a possibility that the power of decision-making within the distillery has been divided up among other executives.

After pondering this, Jiang Hang gave a rather ambiguous answer.

“That Belmore woman does have some connections with the Forerunner Foundation and has tried to work with me and the foundation behind me, but I did not get my information about the distillery from her.”

"But to be honest, she's not entirely on the side of the brewery. If you can really wipe out the brewery, she might even applaud your actions."

Shuichi Akai silently analyzed the veracity of Jiang Hang's words.
