Shiho Miyano seemed a little embarrassed on the communicator.

Because they had been focused on Jiang Hang below the whole time, they had no interest in paying attention to any clues about the secret treasure.

After all, Jiang Hang's fighting skills are already high, and his fighting style is also very entertaining and powerful. It's quite a sight to see him fight these small fry. If it were filmed and uploaded to YouTube, it would probably be mistaken for a new martial arts star making a movie.

Fortunately, Shiho Miyano reacted quickly.

"We're still trying to find our bearings and haven't found anything useful yet. How about we lower the hot air balloon down first and talk about it again after you come back up?"

Jiang Hang blinked. He really wanted to say that the only high place around was Mount Hakodate, so why bother finding a general location on Mount Hakodate?

Even if there is an error, it would only be within a few hundred meters, which is not a problem for Jiang Hang, who has eagle eyes.

But since Shiho Miyano has said so, he'll go up again.

He did not allow the hot air balloon crew to lower the balloon.

As a genuine master assassin and part-time detective, Jiang Hang was able to come down using that rope, so coming back up would naturally be no problem for him.

So, amidst the even more astonished gazes of the staff, Jiang Hang greeted them and then, gripping the ropes with his bare hands, began to climb towards the hot air balloon at an astonishing speed.

Jiang Hang could climb up a meter or two per second, and in just over a minute, he had already climbed to the top of the hot air balloon.

"I'm afraid only you could do something like this, so I wouldn't be surprised," Shiho Miyano couldn't help but remark, looking at Jiang Hang who still seemed relaxed and didn't even break a sweat.

To be precise, it was because she had personally experienced the past of those ancient assassins in that Animus device, and also learned from Jiang Hang that the genes in these "assassins" were different from those of ordinary people, which gave them greater strength and regenerative abilities.

It can be said that it was Jiang Hang's reminders that prompted Shiho Miyano to begin researching the genes of Shinichi Kudo and other ordinary people.

Nowadays, the research and development of drug A is indeed increasingly focusing on human genes.

In Shiho Miyano's mind, perhaps Shinichi Kudo also had similar genes flowing in his body, which is why he didn't die after taking the drug A, but only turned into a child.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps Jiang Hang will experience the same phenomenon after taking drug A?

Anyway, Shiho Miyano has drawn several vials of blood from Jiang Hang, but so far she hasn't found much useful information.

On the contrary, those who confirmed their genes earlier seemed to have a different reaction to drug A.

This made her wonder if her parents had used their own genes as a reference when developing the product.

In short, putting aside these research matters for now, because she had studied Jiang Hang's genes, Shiho Miyano had great confidence in Jiang Hang's physique.

Let alone climbing up the rope with bare hands.

Even if Jiang Hang were to perform a 100-meter parachute descent, he would likely not be in any danger.

After complaining about Jiang Hang's inhuman physique, Shiho Miyano gave up her position and let Jiang Hang, a proper detective, investigate.

Jiang Hang casually picked up the photo of the real Star Prism Blade and compared it to the edge of the five-sided blade at the top and bottom. Although it might not be able to match perfectly because there was no real one, it should at least be 90% accurate.

After all, he didn't know from what height Saburō Akawakusarou had observed back then.

However, as mentioned earlier, an error of a few hundred meters is not a problem for Jianghang's eagle eye, let alone the fact that this is just finding a specific location on a line segment of at most one hundred meters above and below.

At roughly the same angle, the position of the hilt corresponds exactly to Mount Hakodate, several kilometers away.

“This is about the right spot,” Jiang Hang gestured for the staff below to stop adjusting, then pointed to a lush forest in the Hakodate Mountains at a parallel angle to the ground.

"I have a feeling that this puzzle is a little too easy?" Shiho Miyano is still thinking about the other Star Prism Blades. She feels that they have determined the location with just one Star Prism Blade, which seems a bit too easy.

Jiang Hang simply shrugged at this.

"Perhaps the mystery was always this simple?"

"Sonoko Suzuki and Conan are probably still focused on studying the characteristics of the other Star Prism Blades, but after going around in circles, they'll eventually come back to us, won't they?"

Jiang Hang pointed to Mount Hakodate: "No matter what, Hakodate, including Goryokaku, has undergone great changes before and after the war."

Goryokaku was transformed from a military training camp into a park in the early 20th century. It underwent several renovations in the 60s and 80s, and is now quite different from the military fortress occupied by Hijikata Toshizo and the park occupied by Onoe Kubosaburo more than a century ago.

"Over the years, the only place in Hakodate that can still hide secrets seems to be Mount Hakodate, which has never been fully developed. So, no matter what clues we haven't found yet, now that we've found Mount Hakodate, let's go take a look. Perhaps the secret of the remaining Star Prism Blades will be needed there?"

When Shiho Miyano heard Jiang Hang say this, she also felt that it was indeed a possibility, so she didn't say anything more.

"In that case, shall we go to Mount Hakodate now?"

Jiang Hang shook his head: "Weren't you guys planning to go to Mount Hakodate to see the night view? It's still early, let's go and cause trouble for the current head of the Axe family."

He briefly explained to Shiho Miyano why those thugs were bothering them.

Including how they were discovered by that group of thugs.

When they heard that the thugs didn't recognize Jiang Hang from the photo at all, they were simply jealous and envious of Jiang Hang's actions of coming to Wulingguo to ride a hot air balloon at this time.

So these thugs thought they'd come here on purpose to cause trouble, and also to find out who Jiang Hang was. When they learned from the staff that the person they wanted to cause trouble was Jiang Hang, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but show a suppressed laugh on her face.

Jiang Hang's online defenses have ensured that he won't be exposed online, but flaunting his wealth offline still easily attracts envy.

"But he doesn't want to give away any more of the secret treasures his ancestors hid, so he sent someone to threaten you? That Takuzo Onoe is quite bold," Shiho Miyano sighed, shaking her head.

They didn't dare to lay a hand on Sonoko Suzuki, but they didn't consider that Jiang Hang was someone even Sonoko Suzuki, this rich young lady, gave them face. At the very least, he could be considered a friend. Yet they still dared to secretly send people to cause trouble for Jiang Hang.

Isn't he worried that after Sonoko Suzuki finds out that Jiang Hang has been threatened, she will cause the Suzuki family to launch a heavy attack on the Jiang family?

No wonder the Axe River family has fallen to the point of having to sell their assets to make a living. They're really doomed with this family head. Even if he manages to keep the treasure all to himself, it will probably only allow the Axe River family to barely survive for another year or two.

"Let's go to the Fu Jiang family's place first. It should be quite lively there by the time we get there."

Chapter 562: The Father and Son of Fucheng

Jiang Hang wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for Fu Jiang Tuo San. Instead, he lingered in the sky for a while, enjoying the scenery of the entire Hakodate City one last time, before finally coming down.

At the same time, this can be seen as Jiang Hang giving Jiang Tuo San some time to prepare.

After all, those thugs he let go must have already managed to contact Takuzo Axe.

The person who should be nervous now is obviously Takuzo Fue.

Knowing that he has the strength to easily take on ten people at once, what will the other side think?

Should we hurry up and find out his background, then come over and apologize to him?

Or perhaps he should steel himself, and after finding the treasure, decide to overturn the entire chessboard, take the money, and abandon his ancestral legacy to run away?

Jiang Hang himself would prefer to see the latter option.

After all, if Takuzo Akie had chosen the former, as a magnanimous person, he would naturally have had to "forgive" the other party's rudeness.

The truth is, after receiving the call from that group of useless thugs and learning that they had all been taken down by Jiang Hang single-handedly, Axe Jiang Tuo San was indeed quite panicked.

"What? Ten people, all taken down by one person?!"

On the other end of the phone, Takuzo Axe wiped his forehead; it sounded like a guy who was not to be trifled with.

However, his current thought was not to find out Jiang Hang's background; he simply believed that Jiang Hang was still just an ordinary detective with a slightly higher combat ability.

To be honest, he actually knows a few people like that.

Moreover, they are also people who have some connection with the secret treasure.

It could even be said that without the other party's consent, he wouldn't have been able to so easily release information about those treasures and attract others to search for them.

"I understand. That's settled then. Since you're no match for Jiang Hang, then withdraw. I'll arrange for more people."

When faced with the hesitant words from the other side expressing a desire to receive an advance on medical expenses, Takuzo Axe's tone became rather unfriendly.

He clicked his tongue and then said to the other side in a dissatisfied tone, "I only asked you to find Jiang Hang to keep an eye on them, just to annoy him a little and warn him. It was your own fault for being useless, going up to provoke him and getting killed. How dare you come back to me for money after that?"

However, considering that these thugs were henchmen he had painstakingly recruited and had indeed done a lot of dirty work for him over the past two years.

Although the other side's operation was not satisfactory this time, we cannot suppress them indiscriminately; we must still let them continue to work for us.

So, after a pause, he didn't mention the medical expenses, but told them to go to his lawyer and collect a small fee from him so he could have a nice meal that night.

After hanging up the phone, the injured thug looked at the red and swollen areas on his body.

The 10,000 yen per person fee is really just a token gesture.

Why bother going to the hospital? Just go home and apply some medicine and make do.

Fortunately, Jiang Hang didn't go too far. The most serious injury was just a dislocation; there wasn't even a fracture. Otherwise, the medical expenses alone would have drained their organization's funds.

After hanging up the phone, Takuzo Axe was also furious.

They were already short of money, and they had only managed to make a little money by selling their assets and releasing information about the secret treasure.

He hasn't been going to his usual nightclub to have fun these past few days, and now he has to share some money with these useless thugs.

It's all because his subordinates are all scoundrels that the once mighty Axe River family has fallen to this state.

Once I find the secret treasure left by my ancestors, the first thing I need to do is replace all these useless subordinates.

After looking around, he still couldn't find anything suitable to vent his anger on. The things in the house still seemed to have some value. He could have smashed them a few years ago, but he really couldn't bring himself to do it now.

In the end, Takuzo Onoe, who was seething with anger, could only vent his frustration by stomping his feet on the ground.

After a while, he took out his phone again and found the name "Fu Cheng Liang Wei" in it.

Although this person is no longer a member of the Fujiang family, he was an old man who had followed his father for decades. He left the Fujiang family after his father's death, as his father wished, and became a swordsmanship instructor at an ordinary high school.

It could be said that he, as the son, understood his father better than Fukushiro Yoshie himself.

The fact that his father entrusted the other party with two star-shaped swords and some diaries about their ancestors before he died shows how much his father trusted that person.

However, the other party had always opposed his search for the ancestral treasure, and also possessed a highly skilled swordsmanship. His father had even commented that the other party's swordsmanship had reached the level of being able to pass on the knowledge without permission. Therefore, due to his father's dying wish and the other party's own strength, he was forced to put aside the idea of ​​searching for the treasure a few years ago.

It's also estimated that the other person's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and they don't have many years left to live.

Therefore, Fukushiro Yoshie, who also had some obsession with that secret treasure, loosened his restrictions a bit, saying that he could help find the whereabouts of the secret treasure, and that he didn't need to take any of the treasure within it. He just wanted to see the true face of the secret treasure before he died.

If it were anyone else, Takuzo Onoe wouldn't have trusted them so much.

After all, given his greedy nature and discerning eye, he sees everyone as interested in his family's secret treasure. Only when facing a behemoth like the Suzuki family does he restrain himself slightly.

Even so, he was actually thinking that maybe the Suzuki family was really envious of the "world-changing weapon" that their ancestors had hidden.

Only Fukushiro Yoshie, the butler who had always been by his father's side, could make him believe that the other man's obsession was not the treasure, but rather that he wanted to use the treasure that he and his father had been searching for to commemorate his father in the last period of his life.

In short, the other party was already close to death, and he had seen the hospital's medical records, so he still trusted Fukushiro Ryogoi quite a bit.

With that in mind, he dialed the number.
