The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Over the past week, by wandering around every night, Jiang Hang has finally completed the first stage of the two exploration missions, gained a physical improvement, and mastered the assassin's footwork, which is almost silent when walking.

The most obvious change was that, after maintaining sufficient training, the assassin bloodline within him finally began to gradually reveal its potential. Now, Jiang Hang no longer had to struggle to complete his daily training tasks as he had at the beginning.

Focus your attention on the firm's interface.

It's obvious that this system is just another modified version of the manor system from Assassin's Creed.

His current agency is clearly at the lowest level, and to upgrade it, he needs to solve cases and gain reputation.

This reputation is easy to understand; it refers to the fame of Jianghang's detective agency. The bigger and more cases they solve, the more people will know about the agency.

As for the office's functions, they are simple and crude. Its core function is to display on the bulletin board whether residents within a kilometer of the office need help. However, there is no explanation as to whether Jiang Hang will resolve the issue or what methods he will use.

As his level increases, the scope of his commissions will also expand. Perhaps after leveling up dozens of times, Jiang Hang will be able to see from his detective agency whether any major cases have occurred throughout Japan.

The commissions listed on the bulletin board are also arranged from highest to lowest according to the system's rating.

For example, right now Jiang Hang can see a "commission" that has been rated five stars by the system at the top of the bulletin board.

"Miss Ran Mouri has a childhood friend named Shinichi Kudo. However, she hasn't seen him since they parted ways at the amusement park a week ago. She is very worried about Shinichi's safety. Please help her find Shinichi's whereabouts."

Jiang Hang glanced at the reputation reward for this commission; he estimated it would be enough for his novice agency to advance one or two levels.

To be honest, this task is quite simple. Conan has always been worried that Ran will be in danger after she finds out his identity. But Conan has been in the show for over a thousand episodes, and one after another, the undercover agents from the Black Organization have come out and figured out Conan's true identity. Only poor Gin and his little brother whose name I don't know are still kept in the dark.

Whether Conan hides his identity or not, Jiang Hang feels that it doesn't seem to have much to do with Ran's safety.

But there's no rush. Let's wait until we're a bit more familiar with Conan before making a move.

Jiang Hang then looked at the other commissions on the bulletin board.

As expected, they were all trivial matters, such as someone forgetting to bring their wallet when going out, or someone not knowing where they put their keys.

There was even a screenwriter who was struggling to find inspiration because the deadline was fast approaching and was having a headache at home, hoping someone could help him find inspiration.

There weren't even any of the cat or dog-finding requests that Jiang Hang had thought of before. As expected, most people's lives are quite normal. Only Conan, that jinx, gets involved in murder cases all the time.

Looking at these bizarre requests that had absolutely no connection to the case, Jiang Hang couldn't help but think to himself: Is this a detective agency or a general store?

However, considering that his own system was forcibly changed from an assassin system to a detective system, and that he could achieve this level of proficiency through last-minute cramming, he was already grateful.

After finding a few simple tasks that seemed easy to complete in the bulletin board, Jiang Hang prepared to leave.

However, seeing the empty office as it closed, Jiang Hang began to ponder.

Given this bulletin board and the exploration tasks released by the system, I can imagine that I won't be spending much time in the firm in the future. What should I do if a case comes knocking on my door while I'm out?

It seems we need to find a receptionist or assistant as soon as possible.

The thought of the term "front desk assistant" immediately brought to mind some strange things for Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang coughed lightly. He had never even considered things like unspoken rules. As an upright detective, he would never have such disharmonious thoughts.

However, no matter what, you still need to find an assistant who is pleasing to the eye.

As always, as long as you have money, finding an assistant is a piece of cake. After explaining his requirements to the agency he had worked with before, all he had to do was wait for the agency to send over a suitable list.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Hang basically just wandered around his home.

Small acts of kindness, like guiding a lost young person, or helping an elderly woman who had forgotten her wallet while shopping for groceries, or generously paying for her when Jiang Hang happened to be passing by. Another example is a child who twisted their ankle while playing with friends, and Jiang Hang, who happened to be passing by, took them to a nearby clinic for treatment.

After completing the commission, you will not only receive reputation rewards, but also gain favor with your neighbors. More importantly, you can also receive a monetary reward of one million yen or more after completing the commissions on the bulletin board!

In just one afternoon, Jiang Hang's wallet gained nearly ten million yuan.

When the injured child's parents thanked him, Jiang Hang glanced at his wallet and also smiled with relief.

From today onwards, I am an upright detective who promotes positive energy.

Sigh, the life of a positive-energy detective is just so simple, unpretentious, and boring.

Chapter 6: The First Meeting with the Junior Detective Club

As evening approached, Jiang Hang, who had just helped an elderly woman cross the street, prepared to have dinner first and then carry out the exploration mission later that evening.

If a group of elementary school students hadn't excitedly run past him, with one chubby boy even bumping into him, Jiang Hang would have almost forgotten that Conan existed in this world after such a fulfilling day.

Of course, he almost forgot. In fact, when he was observing the surroundings with Eagle Eye, he had already spotted that conspicuous red color and deliberately walked towards them.

Children are naturally prone to not looking where they're going, and combined with Jiang Hang's assassin's footwork, everything seemed perfectly logical.

He looked at the chubby boy who was covering his head and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Have the members of the Junior Detective Club already gotten together in just one week?

"Excuse me," said the chubby boy who bumped into him, which was none other than Genta. However, it was Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was walking behind him, who apologized on his behalf. "Genta, remember to look ahead when you walk! You bumped into someone, so hurry up and apologize to them!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Genta said insincerely, then quickly shifted the blame to Conan, "It's all Conan's fault, he suddenly ran so fast, I was trying to catch up and didn't notice..."

Jiang Hang, who had done it on purpose, reached out and helped Yuan Tai up.

"Don't look around while you're walking, or something might happen." He crouched down, patted the other man's pants, and then noticed that Conan was also looking at him.

"You are... I seem to recognize you?" Jiang Hang looked thoughtful when he saw Conan, as if he was trying to recall something.

After all, he and Conan had met at each other's doorstep a week ago, and the kid might still remember him. A little pretense could dispel his suspicions.

"Have I seen you somewhere else before?" he asked Conan.

As for Conan, although he was a little confused at first, as a famous detective, he naturally quickly remembered that last week he couldn't get into his house because his body had shrunk. At that time, this person found him and asked him what was wrong and if he needed help, but he ran away because he had just shrunk and was full of vigilance.

I never expected that the other person would remember me even though we only met once.

Conan was somewhat surprised, but he pretended not to know anything and looked at Jiang Hang.

"I don't know either, big brother, have you seen me before?"

"Maybe I remembered wrong," Jiang Hang shook his head, deciding to let it go, since that wasn't his focus anyway.

At that moment, Jiang Hang also noticed the note in Conan's hand.

For an ordinary person, it wouldn't be strange to have a note in their hand, but for Conan, coupled with the Junior Detective League's group activities, Jiang Hang quickly recalled a gold coin kidnapping case he encountered in the early stages of Conan.

It seems a gang robbed a lot of gold coins, and before the gang leader was arrested, he left behind a so-called coded treasure map. The gang leader's henchmen wanted to find the treasure, but somehow the treasure map ended up in Conan's hands. Then Conan used his deductive reasoning skills and finally found the gold coins hidden by the gang leader.

The whole incident went something like this. Although Jiang Hang couldn't quite understand why a gang leader would inexplicably create a coded treasure map in the 21st century, since he had run into it, he had to get involved.

"Speaking of which, are you playing some kind of treasure hunt game? Elementary school students these days really have a lot of extracurricular activities."

After he finished speaking, Genta let out a dissatisfied snort.

"This treasure map we have isn't some game! If we solve the puzzle and find the treasure, I can eat the best eel rice in the world, hahaha!"

"The best eel rice in the world? That sounds like a real treasure! Do you need my help? It may sound unbelievable, but actually, I'm a detective!"

Jiang Hang doesn't really care about treasures. With a rich system backing him up, he can earn ten million yen in an afternoon by promoting positive energy. With this system, what more could he want?

Compared to the so-called treasure, what Genta said was the best eel rice in the world was more attractive to him.

"Hey, big brother, are you a detective like Uncle Mori? And you look so young, you're amazing!" Ayumi exclaimed in amazement after hearing Jiang Hang's self-introduction.

As she said this, Ayumi looked at Conan and said, "Conan, why don't you try showing this big brother the treasure map? Maybe he can figure out where the treasure is hidden right away?"

He said he was a detective, and you believed him? I've never heard of any famous detective around here. And a detective who's attracted to eel rice can't possibly be anything special.

Conan muttered to himself, somewhat helplessly.

Even he, hailed as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, has yet to decipher the code on this treasure map. If some random guy you meet on the street who claims to be a detective could crack the code, wouldn't he lose face?

However, even though that's what he thought, he was just a child at the moment, and he really didn't know what to do with the other children who had already reached an agreement.

Reluctantly, he handed the so-called "treasure map" to Jiang Hang. Conan, standing to the side, asked questions in a childlike tone.

"Big brother, how long have you been a detective? Have you solved any amazing cases?"

"Haha, my detective agency actually just opened today. This should be considered my first case." Jiang Hang answered Conan nonchalantly. In Conan's mind, Jiang Hang's reliability dropped to the same level as Kogoro Mouri.

He looked at the paper; at the top was an iron tower, and next to it was a moon.

Below are several simple graphics that seem unrelated. The only difference is the letter "oro" next to the bottom graphic.

“oro…” Jiang Hang blinked. In Italian, it means gold.

As for why he knows Italian, you should ask the system that was originally going to take him to Florence. The initial reward given to him included fluency in Italian.

"A treasure marked in Italian... does that mean the person who buried it was Italian?" Jiang Hang didn't really remember these plot details clearly, but Conan was somewhat surprised when he muttered this.

He searched for a long time in the bookstore before finding it. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man would know Italian.

This guy seems to be at least more reliable than Kogoro Mouri.

However, Jiang Hang's skill level is only so-so. If it were a murder case, his eagle eye could find a lot of clues, but with a treasure map that relies purely on reasoning ability, who the hell knows what's drawn on it?

He only knew that a gang had hidden the gold coins, but who remembered the details? He could only make things up.

"Hmm... this tower should be Tokyo Tower. The diagram below should only be able to be found at Tokyo Tower. I can't deduce it either. But since the other party drew a moon on the right side of Tokyo Tower instead of below it, does that mean the treasure map can only be used to find the treasure at night?"

But to his surprise, after he finished rambling, Conan seemed to suddenly understand, and immediately clapped his hands to indicate that he understood.

Jiang Hang was also taken aback. As expected of Conan, he could so easily find the key to the incident from his own nonsense.

Seeing Conan suddenly start acting serious, Jiang Hang's obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to flare up.

So what exactly do you know? Hurry up and tell me!

Chapter 7: The Maple Leaf Gold Coin Case Concluded

Jiang Hang himself wasn't going to follow a group of first-grade elementary school kids on their exploration. After seeing that Conan seemed to have figured out the key to the case, he touched his chin.

Anyway, he has Hawkeye, so Conan definitely can't escape his Hawkeye detection. So all he has to do now is wait for Conan to find the real treasure location.

"No matter what, it's almost evening now, and it's very dangerous at night. You should hurry home. Here's your treasure map back."

"Hey, isn't big brother coming with us to search for treasure?" Bu Mei said with some regret. In her eyes, Jiang Hang, this big brother, had only glanced at the treasure map a few times and yet he had figured out so many things. If he were willing to search with them, he could probably find the treasure in no time.

"I think your friend probably already has an idea. You guys should keep trying your best."

While returning the treasure map to the Junior Detective League, Jiang Hang secretly used Eagle Eye.

As expected, less than a hundred meters away from them, three suspicious-looking guys were watching them. They were probably the remnants of that gang.

Unable to find the address on the treasure map themselves, they instead pinned their hopes on a group of elementary school students—truly a disgrace to the Italian mafia.

After encouraging the group of young detectives and reminding them again that nighttime could be dangerous and that it would be best to go home quickly, Jiang Hang parted ways with the juvenile detective team.
