The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Looking at Shiho Miyano's appearance, Ran Mouri observed her carefully but couldn't see anything wrong.

Then she put on a curious look again.

"Then, may I ask how far Jiang Hang's relationship with Ms. Yuno and Ms. Shizuka has progressed?"

“I’ve noticed that Jiang Hang always takes one of the two women with him when he goes out to solve cases. I’ve been wondering about this for a long time, but I’ve always been too embarrassed to ask him about it.”

At this point, Ran Mouri also became quite gossipy.

"I heard that when Jiang Hang acquired Yingdu Photography Studio, he had some kind of connection with the daughter of a gang behind that studio?"

"It seems there's another girl who was rescued by Jiang Hang. She's now working at a bakery not far from his office and often brings him pastries and bread?"

"I heard all this from Conan and my dad, so, is Jiang Hang still in contact with those girls?"

Hearing Ran Mouri casually name several girls who had connections with Jiang Hang, Shiho Miyano subconsciously clenched her fists.

“I usually stay in the lab and don’t pay much attention to these things. I’ll let you know if there’s any progress between them,” she said through gritted teeth.

Chapter 533: A Great Detective Must Be Fearless

Jiang Hang, who had disguised himself as a suspect, was patiently waiting for the mole on the robbers' side to become restless first.

But after receiving various rewards, his already exceptionally sharp sixth sense suddenly made him realize that someone was talking badly about him behind his back.

He turned his head in confusion to look at Conan lying on another hospital bed not far away, and then muttered to himself, "Who would talk badly about him behind his back?"

It's probably not Conan.

He's been so gentle with Conan lately, and hasn't bothered him much in the last few months, so he figured Conan wouldn't dare to show any dissatisfaction towards him.

The police officers, including Inspector Megure, always treated him like a god and worshipped him, so such a thing was impossible.

So, it was the mole who found out about him and is now getting anxious, secretly cursing him behind his back?

It couldn't possibly be Shiho Miyano and Ran Mouri, those two girls, secretly gossiping about him behind his back.

Having inadvertently guessed the truth, Jiang Hang changed his position and continued lying on the hospital bed. At the same time, he used his mind to control Altaïr to look down from the sky and confirm the situation around the hospital.

From noon until 2 p.m., the entire area around the hospital was calm and peaceful, as if there were no accomplices of the robbers at all.

However, Jiang Hang was not in a hurry at all, because in order to create an opportunity for the mole, Inspector Megure did not intend to arrange a private room for his current accomplice in the robbery. The door to the room was open, and there were two or three other patients in the room besides Conan.

Of course, Inspector Megure only mentioned this to a few of his trusted confidants; the ordinary patrol officers obviously had no idea about it.

Around 2 p.m., a few more people started passing by the ward.

Several family members who came to visit the patients were also chatting with the patients on other hospital beds.

In contrast, the hospital bed of the burn suspect that Jiang Hang is now pretending to be is completely empty.

Only an elderly man, around seventy or eighty years old and presumably having just undergone some kind of surgery, would occasionally ask him questions about how he got these burns and how serious they were.

Jiang Hang, true to his character, didn't answer. After asking a few more questions and getting no response, the old man lay back down on his hospital bed.

A while later, a middle-aged man, covered in sweat and looking like he had rushed over, arrived at the ward.

It seems he must be that old man's son.

After arriving, the middle-aged man began to inquire about his father's health.

Jiang Hang casually glanced at the other person and then noticed something interesting.

He looked away and then suddenly coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Conan, who was lying on another hospital bed.

Conan paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man who had just walked in.

From the moment I arrived until now, it seems that only this middle-aged man has come into the ward.

Jiang Hang suddenly spoke up to remind him. Did he notice something wrong with the middle-aged man?

Conan carefully examined the seemingly ordinary-looking middle-aged man who was covered in sweat; he appeared to be perfectly normal.

He seemed to be carrying a bag of cream puffs in his arms, which was probably a gift to comfort his father.

It might seem a bit strange to send cream puffs instead of fruit, but perhaps the old man just likes them?

At that moment, the old man seemed to make a gesture as if he wanted to take the cream puff cake from his son's arms, but the middle-aged man refused.

“Dad, you have diabetes, this isn’t for you,” the other person said nervously, avoiding her father’s hand and tucking the box of cream puffs behind her. “This is for your granddaughter; she’s been wanting to eat this all day.”

"You mean Gongzi? Where is she? Didn't you say you should bring Gongzi along? Why did you come alone?"

When asked this question, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then quickly gave his answer.

"She's probably at the nearby amusement park with her friends right now, she'll probably come later."

As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Hang, who was lying next to his father's hospital bed, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face. However, he quickly avoided Jiang Hang's eyes and also concealed his expression.

At this moment, Conan, who had been secretly observing from the side, finally confirmed that there was something wrong with this middle-aged man.

Putting aside the fact that he brought food that the diabetic patient couldn't eat, the way that middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hang just now was really a bit too deliberate.

However, Conan still seems somewhat suspicious now.

Is this guy an accomplice of the robbers?

Was that old man also an accomplice of the robbers? But if so, how did the robbers know in advance that the person Jiang Hang was impersonating would be in this hospital room?

At this point, Conan had essentially deduced most of the situation.

It's likely that this ordinary middle-aged man has some kind of leverage that the robbers have over him, forcing him to come here to investigate or even help the robbers divert the police's attention.

Wait a minute, didn't that old man just say that when this middle-aged man comes to visit him, he should remember to bring his granddaughter along?

As a result, the middle-aged man's expression seemed a bit off when he was explaining.

Could it be that the robbers also kidnapped his daughter to coerce him?

Conan was pondering this when he saw Jiang Hang in the hospital room making a gesture that said, "You go investigate, I'll take care of this."

Conan understood immediately and sneaked away from the hospital bed when no one was looking.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring his own set of equipment.

Since the other party is likely a robber or even a terrorist who is armed, he naturally needs to be fully prepared.

He hadn't forgotten that the reason he was in the hospital more than ten days ago was because he encountered a group of bank robbers while on a picnic, and they almost killed him with a single shot.

He's finally been discharged from the hospital, but unexpectedly, a new batch of armed robbers has appeared for him.

Regardless of why Beika Town is so prone to attracting bank robbers.

If it were an ordinary person, faced with such a similar situation, they might feel hesitant or fearful because of their recent near-death experience.

But Conan is different.

He wanted to actively overcome this nightmare and become the fearless detective he once was.

Chapter 534: How many undercover agents are there within the Metropolitan Police Department?

After Conan left the ward, Jiang Hang became even more lazy and laid-back.

Judging from Conan's expression of wanting to avenge this bank robbery gang, let him take the lead in this case.

With Altaïr watching from above, it's unlikely that Conan, who has just recovered and been discharged from the hospital, would be injured by another group of robbers.

He squinted, glancing at the middle-aged man out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that the middle-aged man still hasn't been able to make up his mind.

The gun was already inside that puff pastry box; all he had to do was pull it out and fire a shot at him, and his mission would be complete.

But judging from his timid and hesitant appearance, he must have been coerced into doing this.

Jiang Hang had basically deduced the whole process in his mind.

First, there was the mole within the police force who figured out the injured suspect's hospital room, and then used his own identity to investigate the identities of the other patients in that room.

They found a seemingly easily fooled middle-aged man inside and took his daughter away, forcing him to attack his accomplice.

Perhaps during this process, the robbers also told him that as long as he told the police he was coerced, he wouldn't bear much responsibility, and they would obediently return his daughter, etc.

Of course, Jiang Hang could also guess that, because of the presence of that mole in the police force, the other party would probably immediately stage the scene to make it seem like the middle-aged man was an accomplice of the robber, and after killing the robber with a gun, the mole would personally shoot and take him away.

It must be said that this mole and his gang of bank robbers were quite shrewd.

The only problem is that the mole is unaware that he is now suspected by his superiors; it's just that the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't been able to determine who the mole is yet.

However, if the other party were to execute the plan perfectly, that is, to have this middle-aged man take the blame without finding any flaws, and if the timing of the mole's appearance and the timing of killing the man were also precise, even if Inspector Megure suspected that this officer was a mole, he probably wouldn't be able to find any evidence to prove that the man was the mole, and it would probably be quite troublesome to deal with.

Just looking at the middle-aged man who hesitated, his hand hovering over the cream puff box, struggling several times without making a decision, Jiang Hang knew that the robbers' plan was unlikely to go perfectly.

Perhaps they think that by randomly picking someone off the street and using that person's important status to coerce them, they can force these ordinary people to do things that they wouldn't dare to do or even think about normally.

Seeing that the middle-aged man ultimately couldn't bring himself to commit murder in the hospital room, especially in front of his own father, Jiang Hang remained silent.

Then let's just keep waiting. There are still an hour or two before "he" is transferred away from the hospital by the police. If this middle-aged man continues to hesitate, the robbers will definitely lose their composure at the last minute.

Although Jiang Hang had noticed one or two suspicious individuals who had entered the hospital, the group of robbers was not just a few people. If they couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop, it would be quite troublesome if one or two armed individuals escaped.

Watching the middle-aged man leave the ward under the pretext of needing to use the restroom, Jiang Hang continued to lie peacefully on the hospital bed, waiting for time to slowly pass.

For Conan, who left the ward early, there were many more things to do.

He found a suitable spot to observe the middle-aged man's movements after he left the ward.

He needs to find out whether the middle-aged man was coerced.

If this middle-aged man was indeed coerced, it wouldn't be easy to get him to do something like that in the hospital room.

Moreover, he believed in Jiang Hang's skills.

Although he had never personally witnessed Jiang Hang using the hidden blade in his wrist to slash bullets, according to Miyano Akemi...

When Jiang Hang saved her from Gin, he did indeed use his hidden blade to deflect the bullet Gin fired at him.

It was precisely because of his incredible skill that Gin dared not make any rash moves and had no choice but to give up on taking her and Jiang Hang's lives and leave.

"But according to Jiang Hang, there seem to be quite a few people in the world who can do this. I wonder how those guys manage to react faster than the speed of a bullet," Conan muttered to himself, finding these things too unscientific.

He never considered that he himself was also very unscientific most of the time.

In short, there shouldn't be anyone in the world who could harm Jiang Hang with ordinary firearms if Jiang Hang had made prior preparations.

If the middle-aged man fails to make the move in the end, then those who coerced him will inevitably step forward to continue pressuring him.

By then, he will be able to find out who the mole in the police force really is.
