The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Kazami Yoshiteru, with a villainous expression, uttered the classic, brainless villainous line, "Think about how you got this job, and figure out how you should talk to me," before going to his lounge to sleep.

After listening to Kogoro Mouri's explanation, and with Shizuka Sakaki's additions, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh slightly, saying that the deceased this time did seem to have really gone too far in courting death.

He would come online and start criticizing anyone he didn't like, and even Jiang Hang was affected.

If a real conflict arises, they directly use someone else's secret as leverage to force the other party to back down.

In the Conan series, these things are like giving someone their final declaration, no wonder they die such a tragic death.

After hearing the full story, Jiang Hang understood what had happened.

Leaving aside Kogoro Mouri, who, although he had a motive, could not possibly be the murderer.

Kazami Yoshiteru attempted to attack Ameshiro Ruri, then proceeded to mock Nagumo Nobuharu, Namihara Kasumi, and Nagumo Akatsuki in turn, before finally being killed by having his throat slit with considerable ferocity.

The body was eventually discovered at the crime scene by Yu Cheng Liu Li.

All four individuals mentioned above are potential suspects, and Ruri Amashiro, who discovered the body, is currently the most likely suspect.

At this point, the most suspicious person can usually be eliminated.

However, considering that she is also Kogoro Mouri's classmate, the suspicions surrounding her cannot be cleared yet.

After all, there have been cases before where Kogoro Mouri attended a class reunion, only to find that his former classmates had become murderers after a case occurred.

"However, that guy is indeed one of the investors in this production team, which is why he knows so much inside information."

Kogoro Mouri spread his hands, indicating that this was all that had happened.

"What did you do while the crew stopped filming?" Jiang Hang nodded, then asked another question.

"After that, I chatted with Liuli for a while. She comforted me and we talked about our middle school days for about twenty minutes."

"As the break was about to end, the snow outside started to fall harder, so she called a group of people out to look at the snow again."

"So how did she end up at the crime scene?" Jiang Hang keenly noticed this question.

Kogoro Mouri seemed somewhat reluctant to discuss this topic, but after hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

"According to Ruri herself, after she called us all out to see the snow, she felt that she might have isolated Kazami Yoshiteru too much. In order to prevent Kazami Yoshiteru from continuing to go crazy, she decided to go and talk to him and ask him if he wanted to go out to see the snow together."

To her surprise, when she opened the door, she found Yoshiteru Kazami lying on the sofa covered in blood. She screamed, attracting everyone's attention.

The reason given by Kogoro Mouri is indeed quite subtle.

Judging from Yu Cheng Liuli's attitude towards Kazami Yoshiteru on set, she had just severely criticized his unreasonable behavior, but now she took the initiative to ask him to go see the snow together. In just half an hour, her behavior was too inconsistent.

Kogoro Mouri wanted to make amends for his female classmate.

"After all, Liuli is a healing-type celebrity. In order to make the audience feel healing, she must adjust her own mood as quickly as possible, right?"

Seeing Kogoro Mouri struggling to come up with an excuse, Jiang Hang felt that it was not as good as the reason he had just used to comfort Kogoro Mouri by saying that he was under too much pressure.

However, Jiang Hang didn't pay any attention to it, and instead asked Kogoro Mouri what he was thinking.

"So, among the four people who had arguments with the deceased before their death, who do you think is most likely to be the murderer?"

Jiang Hang looked at Shizuka Sakaki, who then added her own comment.

"Although many crew members were called out by Miss Liuli to see the snow at that time, none of the four of them had a clear alibi half an hour before the incident."

According to their explanation, apart from Yu Cheng Liuli, the other three were either memorizing their lines or resting with their eyes closed in their rooms at the time.

When Jiang Hang asked him this question, Kogoro Mouri thought about it seriously for a while.

"I still think it's unlikely that Liuli is the culprit."

His tone was more firm this time.

It seems that his actions weren't based on trust in his classmate, but rather on some genuine considerations of his own.

"As I just told you, after filming stopped, I chatted with Ruri until the last five or six minutes when she left my side to go find Kazami Yoshiteru."

"Based on the calculations, she probably only had less than 5 minutes to commit the crime."

"To find the murder weapon, kill Yoshiteru Kazami, and then hide it so that the police still haven't found it within 5 minutes is a bit too short a time."

Jiang Hang nodded, thinking that although Kogoro Mouri's statement wasn't entirely accurate, five minutes was indeed not enough time for an ordinary person to handle such matters.

Recalling the various assassination and stealth techniques he was forced to learn in the training space, he knew that even if he only had half a minute, let alone five minutes, he could still kill his target quietly and escape without leaving any trace.

Jiang Hang continued to encourage Kogoro Mouri to speak.

"If I really had to choose one of the remaining three people, I would still think it would be more likely to be the father and son of the Nagumo family."

Jiang Hang raised an eyebrow, wanting to know what Kogoro Mouri was thinking when he made this judgment.

"Because that Ms. Namihara Kasumi has a smoking habit, and her addiction seems to be quite strong. I saw her smoke four or five cigarettes during the filming."

"After the incident, there were several newly lit cigarettes in the ashtray in her room, which she must have smoked in the half hour that followed."

"Although such things can indeed be faked, the smell of cigarettes in her room and on her body was still quite strong, so in the absence of other evidence, I think we can temporarily rule out her suspicion."

"Neither the Nan Yun father nor his son seem to have a smoking habit. Nan Yun Xiao was a heavy smoker when he was young, but he said he quit smoking after getting married, so we can't rule out their suspicion based on this."

It seems that Shizuka Sakaki hadn't found the relevant information yet, so she immediately went to the side to check whether the information given by Kogoro Mouri was accurate.

Listening to Kogoro Mouri's analysis, although it was somewhat halting, his ideas were not entirely wrong. It can only be said that he was indeed trying very hard to use his brain to help his old classmate clear his name.

In short, after eliminating all possibilities, the only remaining suspects are the Nagumo father and son.

Nobuharu Nagumo was stepped on and kicked by Yoshiteru Kazami, and was also called a good-for-nothing third-rate actor.

Nan Yunxiao's son was bullied, and then he was exposed for having a secret rendezvous with a young woman.

The former is personal dissatisfaction, while the latter is the fear that if this information is leaked, it could ruin one's reputation and cause disgrace.

Both of them do indeed have the potential to retaliate against Kazami Yoshiteru.

“But no matter who did it, the more important thing now is to find out where the murder weapon is. Maybe we can find the murderer’s fingerprints on the weapon,” Kogoro Mouri looked at Jiang Hang. “You should have been to the crime scene, right? Did you find any clues?”

Jiang Hang nodded slightly.

"I have made some discoveries, but I'm not sure yet. Shall we go back to the crime scene and take another look?"

Chapter 525: Chapter 521: The Missing Lighter

As Jiang Hang uttered those words, Kogoro Mouri and Shizuka Sakaki couldn't help but show some surprise in their eyes.

As expected of Jiang Hang, he wandered around the crime scene for almost half an hour before the police arrived without finding anything.

Of course, there was also the reason why he didn't investigate thoroughly in order not to disturb the crime scene.

But after the police arrived, he stayed by Yokomizo Sango's side, watching the police investigate the scene.

However, despite his and the police's keen observation skills, they never discovered anything.

In addition, he had an argument with the victim before the incident, so if we have to say, he had a few minutes to commit the crime after he got separated from Yu Cheng Liuli.

Even though he wasn't a strong suspect, Kogoro Mouri, who had been hurt before, did feel sorry for himself. So, under the pretext of assisting in the investigation of the murder weapon, he went outside the villa to smoke a cigarette. In the end, he was revitalized by Jiang Hang's verbal sparring.

He wasn't too bothered by the fact that Jiang Hang had already made some discoveries upon arriving at the scene.

After all, since Jiang Hang debuted, what he is most recognized for is his superb observational ability, which is comparable to a microscope.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Eagle Eye Detective" so early in his career.

Kogoro Mouri's confidence stems from his own reasoning personality.

Even without Jiang Hang's meticulous observation skills, once he enters a dormant state, the reasoning personality within him will connect all the clues and evidence to uncover the truth of the case.

In fact, he has never been particularly good at crime scene investigation, even during his time as a criminal investigator.

There's no need to compare yourself to Jiang Hang in areas where you're not good at.

Having given himself this suggestion, Kogoro Mouri nodded, indicating that he would go with Jiang Hang to re-examine the crime scene.

With Jiang Hang's observational skills, combined with his reasoning abilities, this case will surely be solved quickly, clearing his and Liuli's names.

With this in mind, the group returned to the crime scene.

Yoshino Kiharu is currently at the crime scene, working with the police to re-examine the situation.

The same suspects who had no alibi were also at the crime scene, waiting to be questioned by the police.

Seeing Jiang Hang and the others return, Mu Chun Yuno breathed a sigh of relief and brought over all the clues and intelligence she had gathered to report to Jiang Hang.

Yoshino Kino's compilation of these materials was quite detailed; she recorded almost all the suspicious points in the case and the possible feedback from some staff members in the production crew that might be related to the case in her sketchbook.

Jiang Hang took it and examined it carefully before handing it to Kogoro Mouri.

"Brother Maori, take a look, can you find anything suspicious up there?"

Kogoro Mouri readily agreed, and it was at this moment that Ruri Amashiro noticed Kogoro Mouri returning and the young man beside him whom she had never met before.

She walked over with a smile and greeted Kogoro Mouri, which also disrupted Kogoro Mouri's thoughts.

"Kogoro, I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you had abandoned me. Is this your friend?"

Once a beautiful woman tries to please him, Kogoro Mouri forgets his own name.

He laughed and then introduced Jiang Hang's identity to his old classmate.

"This is Jiang Hang, the same famous eagle-eyed detective. I've known him for a long time. He just happened to be passing through Shizuoka Prefecture and heard that I might be having some trouble, so he came to check on me."

Jiang Hang is indeed more famous than Kogoro Mouri.

Furthermore, when Yoshiki Kazami had his argument with Kogoro Mouri, he mentioned Detective Hawkeye's name. So when they heard that another famous detective whom Yoshiki Kazami had criticized had also arrived at the crime scene, the suspects present couldn't help but show different expressions.

After simply using Eagle Vision to observe the faces of these people, Jiang Hang already had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Actually, the suspects present seemed a little guilty.

The only difference is the degree of their guilt.

Take Nagumo Nobuharu as an example. His guilty conscience was related to the female entertainer named Namihara Kasumi beside him. After hearing Jiang Hang's name, he glanced at her. Although he wasn't very guilty, he seemed to be worried that his secret would be discovered.

However, based on some of their subconscious reactions, it can be confirmed that, just as Kazami Yoshiteru said, they may indeed be having a secret relationship in private.

Of course, whether the relationship was purely platonic or whether there were any other secrets between the two parties is irrelevant to this case.

The ones who are truly noteworthy are Ruri Amashiro, who is by Kogoro Mouri's side, and Akira Nagumo, who was accused by Yoshiteru Kazami of having an affair with a young woman.

They had already witnessed Kogoro Mouri's reasoning abilities.

It's true that it's a bit complicated, perhaps because the other party wasn't taking it seriously at all.
