The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Fortunately, Jiang Hang quickly offered an explanation.

"This thing is quite expensive. The maintenance fee alone starts at eight figures a month. Moreover, currently only our foundation has developed this technology, and there is no intention to release it to the public. They just gave it to me to test."

Actually, this wasn't something Jiang Hang figured out on his own; it was a reward he received after resolving a request from Kogoro Mouri in Shizuoka Prefecture.

A surveillance blocking plugin from the world of 2077.

In 2077, the plugin's function is to blur the appearance and features of people carrying it in surveillance footage, making it easier for mercenaries to do dirty work.

After Jiang Hang obtained the plugin, he used his hacking skills to make some adjustments to it, making it more suitable for the world and easier to use.

Today was the first time he had officially tried it out, and it seems to have worked quite well.

Although the replaced image still looks a bit stiff, it is still very useful in surveillance cameras whose clarity is already questionable.

Of course, cameras that are not connected to the internet cannot be blocked.

However, in most cases, Jiang Hang, who already possesses advanced stealth skills, would not be caught by those obvious cameras anyway.

Even in those heavily monitored areas with no blind spots, he could use his disguise abilities to pass through as someone else.

Therefore, the most powerful feature of this reward is its ability to automatically block others from taking photos of you without your consent.

As long as the phone is connected to the internet and within 200 meters of Jiang Hang, it is absolutely impossible to take a picture of Jiang Hang.

For Jiang Hang, who never reveals his true appearance to the public, this thing is still somewhat useful.

Overall, it's just a decent auxiliary tool.

The price he mentioned was also true.

This plugin requires a lot of computing power, and it comes with a dedicated server generously provided by the system, so you don't need to spend any money to use it.

However, if it is used by others, those expenses will have to be recorded in Jiang Hang's accounts.

With monthly expenses in the eight or nine figures, even if Jiang Hang has passed the stage of being short of money, he would not casually enable this function for the people around him.

Hearing Jiang Hang say that, Inspector Megure felt much more at ease.

In any case, it seems unlikely that this thing will become widespread in the short term.

Conan, on the other hand, seemed quite interested.

However, he simply couldn't afford the eight-figure monthly expense, so he could only wait and ask Jiang Hang if there was a cheaper mini version.

If all else fails, he could try to ask Professor Agasa to create a similar program for him.

This shouldn't be too difficult for Professor Agasa, right?

perhaps?

Conan thought to himself with some uncertainty.

In short, after Jiang Hang personally experienced the effects of the plugin, and also had Inspector Megure try out the low-spec mode of the plugin, he discovered that the effect of this thing was not as good as he had imagined, and there was still a lot of "room for improvement". After that, Jiang Hang asked Inspector Megure, who was slightly relieved, about the situation here.

"Since you already know about this from Takagi, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Actually, Takagi only knows some basic information; only a few people know the real details of the case,"

Inspector Megure quickly explained the situation of the case.

According to Jiang Hang's understanding, the police have not yet determined the specific details and composition of the gang.

However, it can be confirmed that this accomplice's position in their gang was not that of a low-ranking thug.

He's at least at the level of a third-in-command.

Once his physical condition improves slightly, the police will be able to find a way to extract information about all the members of his gang from him.

“He must know a lot of the gang’s secrets. We even suspect that the gang has some insiders in the bank and the police station, which is why they were able to carry out the robbery so smoothly.”

Inspector Megure whispered his suspicions to Jiang Hang.

"Actually, we did this to lure out the mole and see if he would act prematurely because he was worried that his identity would be exposed by that guy."

"So, apart from a few of our old buddies from the Third Division, most of the police officers here are members who were responsible for tracking down that gang back then..."

Inspector Megure mentioned some coincidences in the case: the perpetrators escaped the bank precisely before the police arrived, and avoided the most heavily guarded areas on their escape route, as if they were aware of the police's movement.

That's why he had such doubts and made the current action plan.

It was precisely because this matter involved a mole within the police force that it could easily damage the image of the Metropolitan Police Department if it were to be revealed, so Inspector Megure had previously only wanted to resolve the case discreetly.

However, since Jiang Hang had already taken the initiative to approach him, and the other party had essentially thrown it away themselves, Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment before finally telling Jiang Hang the information.

Hearing Inspector Megure's words, Jiang Hang began to look at him in a different light.

Although when faced with murder cases, I often can't find the right approach and can only solve the case with the help of detectives.

However, given his more than 20 years of experience and the fact that this case wasn't a murder, Inspector Megure seemed quite reliable.

If, as Inspector Megure suggests, the member arrested by the police knew the secrets of these gangs, it's hard to say whether the gang leader would be willing to take the risk to rescue him.

But those traitors definitely want the other side to die quickly.

After all, every minute the other side lives increases the threat posed by these moles.

Next, Inspector Megure only needs to find those who look the most nervous and then test them individually.

Jiang Hang nodded as he listened to Inspector Megure's plan.

“Then I’ll help too. You know how observant I am, Brother Megure. If there really is a mole on your side, I think he shouldn’t be able to escape my eyes.”

At this point, Inspector Megure naturally wouldn't refuse Jiang Hang's kind offer.

However, he still reminded Jiang Hang to be careful.

If you discover the identity of the mole, there's no need to hesitate; after all, the mole most likely has a firearm on him.

If you have the chance, take the other party into custody to prevent them from becoming desperate and causing trouble in the hospital.

Chapter 532: Ran Mouri and Shiho Miyano

As time went by, it soon became afternoon.

Without any other circumstances, finding the so-called "mole" among a group of plainclothes police officers is not so simple.

After all, these moles have been lurking in the Metropolitan Police Department for so long, their mental fortitude must be up to par.

At least under the condition that one-on-one interrogation is not possible, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, even Jiang Hang with his keen eyesight could not so easily confirm the other party's undercover identity.

However, after a morning of patrolling, Jiang Hang still had one or two key suspects in mind.

The next step is to confirm the identity of their mole.

"So if those robbers don't show up, are you planning to stay in the hospital and wait for them to appear?"

After listening to Jiang Hang's explanation, Shiho Miyano asked a question.

Her original idea was that if Jiang Hang could catch the group of robbers in the morning, then there should still be some time left in the evening.

But who knew that the group of robbers never showed up at the hospital? No matter how capable Jiang Hang was, it was impossible for them to conjure up robbers out of thin air.

Jiang Hang helplessly spread his hands towards Shiho Miyano.

“I’ve already identified a few suspects. Anyway, the suspect who was taken into custody by the police will be transferred by the police by tonight at the latest. This afternoon is the last chance for those robbers. I think they will make their move no later than three or four o’clock this afternoon.”

It looks like today's plans have completely fallen through.

And Conan is the same.

Today is supposed to be his discharge day; he has already completed the discharge procedures.

He was originally planning to go out for a nice meal with his childhood friend and Kogoro Mouri to celebrate.

As a result of the case, he postponed the celebration to the evening, using the excuse that he wanted to wait until his friends got out of school before celebrating together. He then changed into a hospital gown and prepared to stay in the hospital for another half day.

He also had Xiaolan and Jiang Hang covering for him, and that Kogoro Mouri was indeed a confused old man who was already happily watching Yoko Okino's idol show at home.

So it's true that these detectives think differently from normal people.

While muttering this to herself, Shiho Miyano still chose to stay at the hospital after having a tasteless lunch with Jiang Hang. She watched as Jiang Hang disguised himself as the suspect being controlled by the police, secretly took over the suspect's identity, and lay down in the suspect's ward.

As for the real suspect, Jiang Hang had already inserted a tranquilizer dart into him, then disguised him briefly before sending him to Conan's original private hospital room.

The people currently in charge of guarding this ward are Shiho Miyano and Ran Mouri.

The two of them don't usually talk much.

However, since there were only the two of them and the suspect lying in bed who was unlikely to wake up before nightfall, they naturally found some topics to talk about.

Ran knows that Shiho Miyano is a very skilled doctor whom Jiang Hang found from abroad, and she usually performs physical examinations for Professor Agasa and Conan.

So, while Conan was away, Ran took the initiative to ask Shiho Miyano about Conan's current physical condition.

When asked this somewhat sensitive question, Shiho Miyano gave a rather cautious answer.

After all, the possibility that the other party might still have cognitive biases was something she raised with Conan, so answering this kind of question naturally requires some skill.

In short, after avoiding any mention of Shinichi Kudo, Shiho Miyano carefully answered the question, while also inquiring about Ran Mouri's current health condition to confirm her current state.

Although she is not an expert in mental health, she does have some knowledge of it.

However, Xiaolan didn't seem too keen on discussing this topic. After a brief chat, the conversation naturally turned to Jiang Hang.

When the conversation shifted from Conan to Jiang Hang, the initially awkward and tentative exchange became much more relaxed.

After all, although Ran Mouri and Jiang Hang had dealt with each other quite a few times, they didn't really know much about each other.

Shiho Miyano knew that the other party couldn't possibly have any special feelings for Jiang Hang, so she didn't feel any pressure when talking about Jiang Hang.

From the cases she had seen the other party solve, to their style of doing things, and her complaints about some aspects of their personality.

"So, Miss Haibara, you care a lot about Mr. Jiang Hang?"

Upon suddenly hearing Ran Mouri say this, Shiho Miyano's expression froze.

Ran Mouri usually gives people the impression of being mature for her age, or rather, like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

After all, her parents separated when she was young, and her father was unreliable, so apart from Shinichi Kudo, Ran Mouri always acted normally in front of others.

Seeing the gossipy look on Ran Mouri's face, Shiho Miyano realized that Ran was actually a 17-year-old girl in the middle of puberty, and it was normal for her to be interested in such things.

However, she was unwilling to reveal her true feelings to the other person.

So she coughed lightly.

"After all, he is my boss, and I am hoping that he will arrange a better laboratory for me next year so that I can devote myself more to my research work."
