The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

On the surface, Xiao Zhongda appeared timid and submissive, but inwardly he remained calm and even had already planned how he would retaliate against this arrogant young man.

However, the next moment, to his astonishment...

Jiang Hang used a force he couldn't resist to pull him directly to Ayato Chihiro's desk, reached down and pulled out a miniature eavesdropping device from under the desk.

"You're not thinking of using this to get your sexy secretary at that hotel to find someone to help you, are you?"

Having revealed the other party's hotel room number, Jiang Hang immediately switched off the listening device in the dark.

Xiao Zhongda was stunned. How did this man know where his bugging device was hidden, and how did he know that his female secretary was in the hotel across the street?

What he found even more incomprehensible was yet to come.

Because the voice coming out of Jiang Hang's mouth had turned into a voice that was extremely familiar to him!

"However, sorry, I just sent your secretary out to run an errand, so she's not in that room right now."

This was clearly his own usual voice and tone, but when Jiang Hang said it, it sounded like the low growl of a demon!

Chapter 64: Despair in the Small, Medium, and Large

Xiao Zhongda was completely taken aback by the fact that this young man possessed such abilities.

"Impossible! How could you possibly contact her? And you just randomly called someone from a number. Do you really think she would believe you're me?!" Although Xiao Zhongda was starting to panic, he refused to admit the truth.

“Perhaps you’re overestimating the intelligence of your big-breasted, brainless secretary. Of course,” Jiang Hang paused here, taking the Thinker from the other person’s hand and placing it on the table beside him, “I called your secretary a few days ago using your own phone and told 'you' that you would call her from an anonymous number if necessary.”

As he said this, Jiang Hang applied a little more force to his hand, and Xiao Zhongda immediately let out pig-like screams.

"Miss Aya, could you please close the window and draw the curtains for me? I don't want anyone to hear or see anything inappropriate." Jiang Hang looked at Aya Chihiro, who seemed to still be in a daze.

Knowing that the other party was a lawyer who valued evidence the most, he added a sentence.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at this, I won't leave any evidence for anyone."

At this moment, Xiao Zhongda seemed to sense that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to Jiang Hang, "Wait, wait! Hitting people is illegal. We are all civilized people and should resolve issues in a civilized way!"

"Who knows? Anyway, no one saw it. I'm saying it was self-defense. Do you think there'll be a problem?"

Jiang Hang said this to the other party with ill intent.

"And I never expected to hear the word 'law' from someone like you. How ironic!"

As Jiang Hang said this, he kicked Xiao Zhongda precisely in the spine of his back, causing Xiao Zhongda to cry out in pain again.

"When you're preparing to kill, shouldn't you also be prepared to endure the same level of pain?"

When attacking joints, or by placing something under a person, as long as the force is controlled properly, the opponent can be punished sufficiently without leaving any marks.

"You...you'll regret this..." After Jiang Hang struck his knee hard again, Xiao Zhongda, his face flushed, issued a final threat to Jiang Hang.

However, what he experienced was excruciating pain in another knee joint.

Just as he was thinking that he must take revenge in the future, Jiang Hang once again delivered the most fatal blow to him.

"Are you still trying to use the people you've blackmailed to threaten me, like that ledger and hard drive hidden in the safe in the secret compartment behind the toilet in your second-floor bathroom?"

After he uttered a few numbers, Xiao Zhongda's face instantly changed from anger to utter despair.

"How...how is this possible? How do you know this? This is clearly...!"

That safe and its combination were clearly the biggest secret of his life, something no one but him could possibly know. How could this person know?!

As an information broker, he has extorted countless important figures, but the reason he has been able to live well until now is because he "keeps his word." As long as he receives money, he can guarantee that the other party's dirty secrets will not be leaked.

Of course, for him, it was just about deleting all the other backups; the actual source files were carefully stored on that hard drive.

It can be said that the hard drive containing countless pieces of dirt and information about important figures was his last trump card for survival.

As long as that hard drive is still there, even though those big shots secretly wish he would die, they are the ones who are most anxious when he actually encounters any problems.

However, the fact that this biggest secret has been revealed so easily by the other party is undoubtedly the most devastating blow to small, medium and large enterprises.

"Who...who exactly are you?" At this moment, Xiao Zhongda finally felt utter despair.

"Just an ordinary detective who's good at finding things, don't worry about him," Jiang Hang said, looking at the other person, but he was starting to feel a little bored.

A scumbag who has gotten to where he is today through extortion, even if he has accumulated a huge network of relationships over the years, in the end, this so-called network of relationships is only built on the evil path of blackmail.

Once the other party's weakness is found, this seemingly impeccable network of relationships will crumble instantly.

If he wanted to, once he got his hands on the hard drive the other party had hidden, with just a little effort, this intricate network of interests would no longer belong to Xiao, Zhong, or Da, but to him alone.

Moreover, this network of relationships will only become more solid for him than it was during his younger, middle, and older years.

However, since the other party is already so desperate, it's best not to tell him this anymore, lest he have a heart attack or something and die on the spot.

Even so, under the double blow to their minds and bodies, Xiao Zhongda fainted in Jiang Hang's hands in just a few minutes.

"Is that all? What a fragile guy," Jiang Hang muttered as he threw the other man, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig.

The reactions of small, medium, and large sandbags were quite regrettable for Jiang Hang, who was looking for sandbags to practice with.

This guy has been pampered for years, and when he encounters a problem, his first thought is to kill someone to cover it up. He really lacks the harsh lessons of society.

He had only just begun, and hadn't even finished warming up, when his opponent was already unable to hold on.

As Ayari Chihiro watched Jiang Hang finish all this, she felt her head was full of questions.

She had interacted with Jiang Hang quite a bit these past few days. When she first learned about him from Eri, she thought Jiang Hang was a rich young master who ran away to become a detective.

After getting to know him better, she learned that Jiang Hang was not only wealthy, but also a very capable detective who solved numerous cases for the police in less than a month. More importantly, his character was also quite "noble," and the locals in Beika Town almost universally praised him.

Now, she saw something even more incredible about Jiang Hang.

The voice-changing technique was so skillful that it was almost impossible to find any flaws, and the fact that the other party knew that they were being monitored by Xiao Zhongda, and even the location of the bugging device seemed to have been known to them all along.

More importantly, after years of painstaking investigation into intelligence about Xiao Zhongda, all he could do was helplessly let Xiao Zhongda suffer a little, and he would have to face their retaliation in the future.

Meanwhile, in Jianghang, after only a few days of investigation, they actually found the other party's biggest weakness and managed to cause Xiao Zhongda's mental breakdown with just a few words.

How exactly did they manage to do that?

Ignoring the turmoil in Aya's heart, Jiang Hang skillfully dialed Takagi's number.

"Brother Takagi, this is Jiang Hang. A friend of mine was almost murdered in his own home. Luckily, I arrived in time to stop it, otherwise something terrible would have happened... Suspect? I've already subdued the suspect. I have video footage of him before and during the attack. Do you have time to come over now?"

Chapter 65: The One Billion Yen Robbery

The two men, Xiao Zhongda and Da, were taken away by the police looking dejected.

Chihiro Ayasato will definitely inform those important figures, telling them that they no longer need to worry about the small, medium, and large's last-ditch counterattack.

It is believed that the police's subsequent investigation will lead to a more "fair" sentence for Xiao Zhongda, who committed "attempted murder".

As for what kind of retaliation Xiao Zhongda would suffer from those powerful figures after they went to prison, Jiang Hang didn't want to know, nor was he interested in knowing.

He simply took advantage of the darkness to retrieve the hard drive and ledger that the other party had hidden and handed them to the still-shaken Chihiro Ayari.

He had never even considered things like a network of relationships.

He was a lazy person by nature and didn't like maintaining these fake relationships. As long as those people knew he existed and didn't cause him trouble, that was enough for Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang also offered an explanation to Ayari Chihiro.

Actually, there's no need to explain in too much detail. As the saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and Jiang Hang, who has mastered advanced disguise skills, is well aware of this.

Humans are actually very good at filling in the blanks. No matter how unbelievable Jiang Hang's behavior was in this matter, at this moment, all that was needed was a sentence like "a detective's instinct and a little bit of help from the foundation" to make Ayasato Chihiro come up with a more reasonable explanation for him.

Jiang Hang accepted the heartfelt thanks from the other party with peace of mind.

Meanwhile, the system gave him a lukewarm reward of a four-star case.

Jiang Hang had initially speculated that given Xiao Zhongda's influence, the system might create a five-star case for him. However, it now seems that Xiao Zhongda's influence is indeed not as great as he imagined, and a five-star case is not something that can be easily created.

In addition to the usual monetary reward, the system also rewarded him with a "smoke bomb making" skill.

Jiang Hang, who was already used to the quirks of his own system, didn't pay much attention to the reward.

On the contrary, when he saw that this skill was simply a matter of knowledge transfer and that he could master it without entering the training space, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The effects of those advanced skills are truly amazing, but the difficulty of training these few times has really left him somewhat traumatized. If he were to be given another advanced skill now, he would probably have to think it over carefully before accepting it.

Smoke bomb it is. Although it won't do much good for his apparent identity as a detective, he will soon have to "face off" with the Phantom Thief Kid, and this smoke bomb might play an unexpected role.

Moreover, compared to the rewards given by the system, in Jiang Hang's heart, being able to avert the tragedies and regrets that he couldn't save before his transmigration and could only watch as they happened was already the greatest reward for him.

Looking at the hard drive and the ledger containing countless secrets in front of her, Chihiro Ayasato was somewhat taken aback.

"Are you sure you want to entrust such an important thing to me?" Chihiro Aya asked Jiang Hang uncertainly.

"It's just the dark history of a bunch of big shots. I have absolutely no interest in this stuff." Jiang Hang regarded the hard drive, which he considered his lifeblood, as nothing more than non-combustible electronic waste. "I'm already annoyed by all the negative news on TV every day. This stuff, full of the dark history of those big shots, I wouldn't even want to look at it if it were given to me. You're a lawyer, and you're an expert in this area, so you can do whatever you want with it."

Jiang Hang waved his hand at the hard drive and ledger, seemingly disgusted by their bad luck.

"Destroy it if you want, and don't worry about what I think if you want to use this to drag someone inside down with you."

Chihiro Aya immediately shook her head: "Of course these things must be destroyed, and they must be destroyed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the councilors and the opposition parties won't have to do any work this year. They'll just have to keep an eye on these things and live in fear."

“However, if we want to destroy it, we need to invite some witnesses to be present... otherwise, those higher-ups won’t feel at ease,” Ayato Chihiro felt quite helpless about Jiang Hang’s decision to throw this hot potato into her hands.

Jiang Hang didn't intend to get involved in how Chihiro Ayasato would invite the witnesses or how she would destroy the materials. He simply reminded her to be careful and not to be targeted by anyone again.

After that, Jiang Hang's life finally returned to normal for the time being.

Every day, I take on a few lost and found requests, whether valuable or not, and then clear out the "daily tasks" on the bulletin board. If I feel like slacking off, I can take a half-day break and catch up on the latest anime series at my own agency.

These past few days, he hasn't gone to Ayasato Chihiro's place, which has made Koharu Yuno secretly murmur to Sakaki Shizuka that Jiang Hang might have used her body and then dumped her.

Of course, this kind of joke is just something Yoshino Kiharu talks about when she's rambling on. Recently, Shizuka Sakaki has been pestering Jiang Hang all day long to learn his voice-changing technique, which allows him to change his voice to whatever he wants.

She felt that if she could master such advanced skills, she would have a place of her own in the voice acting industry.

Therefore, she has been exceptionally respectful to Jiang Hang lately, and was even close to formally becoming his disciple on the spot. So she dared not criticize Jiang Hang like that.

Over the past few days, Jiang Hang spent a considerable amount of money to skip the queue for the driving test and finally obtained his Japanese driver's license. From now on, he won't have to ride a bicycle or have Yoshino drive him wherever he wants to go.

On this day, Jiang Hang had just returned someone's lost wallet and earned two million yen from the system. Just as he was about to finish work and go home, he saw a request for Conan appear on the bulletin board.

"The other two perpetrators in the billion yen robbery have been killed. If Hirota Masami is not the real culprit, she will be the next victim. We must get to her residence as soon as possible!"

This request is at the level of a regular person. Don't be fooled by the description of how fast and powerful it is; in reality, the request is just to have Jiang Hang take Conan to the place the other party wants to go. If Jiang Hang hadn't set up a special focus on Conan on the bulletin board, he wouldn't have noticed this request.

"A billion yen robbery? So this case is also related to Conan... Sure enough, when you encounter bad news like this, you can just blame it on Conan." Thinking of the billion yen goal he had just set a few days ago, Jiang Hang couldn't help but activate his Eagle Vision. Among a group of gray and white figures, he quickly found a red child figure riding a solar-powered skateboard in a certain direction.
