The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

But he didn't pay too much attention.

If he really wanted to catch the criminal as soon as possible, he could have the train driver make an emergency stop so he could get off and catch the criminal alone.

But this kind of lone wolf hero approach is too conspicuous.

This doesn't fit his personality of sharing credit with everyone.

Anyway, he had roughly identified the prisoner's next target, and the prisoner probably wouldn't make any rash moves before that.

So let the police handle it for now. Once they can't figure it out, he can step in and help when things get really tough.

We've already waited so many days for this five-star commission, so a few more days of waiting won't make a difference.

Jiang Hang thought this through a calm and composed mindset.

Finally, the train arrived at its final stop quite smoothly.

It wasn't until the latter half of the journey that the passengers gradually learned from other sources that a tunnel they had passed through had been deliberately blown up.

Upon arrival at the destination, a group of fully equipped police officers transferred the VIPs from the train carriages, while the top police officials in Hokkaido were about to hold a press conference regarding the explosion.

Jiang Hang also reminded them not to reveal the information that he had already investigated and found that the case might be related to Beize Village, lest the criminal become desperate and do something even more extreme.

Jiang Hang also reiterated that there was no need to publicize his situation, and that if he wanted to express his gratitude, he should thank the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for their assistance.

Hearing that Jiang Hang was still trying to boost the Metropolitan Police Department's reputation at this time, and that this matter would definitely be written into their files, Shiratori Renzaburo's gaze towards Jiang Hang became even more friendly.

For a veteran non-professional officer like Inspector Megure, whose career is basically limited to the rank of inspector and at most one more level, it's not so bad. Moreover, Inspector Megure has long been used to being carried by others over the years.

Shiratori Ninzaburo, on the other hand, was an elite member of the professional team, having started his police career as a police inspector.

His highest potential position is naturally the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police Department, which is the highest rank in the department.

That's why he gave up his family business to become a policeman.

There is only one Superintendent General of Police. Even though Japan has changed Superintendent General of Police every year or so in recent decades, compared to the dozen or so elite officers in the professional group each year, most of them remain at the rank of Superintendent General, which is two levels below Superintendent General of Police.

What position one can achieve in the future, even for elite police officers in the professional group, still depends on their resume.

With this resume, his future promotions are basically just a matter of waiting for the appointed time to arrive.

The police officers in Hokkaido couldn't help but look at Inspector Megure and Inspector Shiratori with a hint of envy.

Unfortunately, Hokkaido is indeed quite different from Tokyo.

A renowned detective like Jiang Hang obviously wouldn't stay in Hokkaido for too long.

He declined the invitation to attend the press conference and also declined Yuichiro Asakura's invitation, citing the need to conduct on-site investigations.

Jiang Hang looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was following behind him.

"You've already arrived at the station, and the opening ceremony is over. You should quickly let your family know you're safe and ask them to find a car to take you back to Hakodate."

Having finally calmed down, Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes at Jiang Hang.

"After something like this happened today, how can I possibly be in the mood to go back and have fun?"

Although she didn't actually encounter any real danger under Jiang Hang's care throughout the entire incident, it still really affected her mood.

"So who exactly is that criminal, that he's so utterly depraved?"

It seems that Sonoko Suzuki also wants to follow Jiang Hang and find out the truth behind this case.

"So you want to be my assistant in this case?"

Jiang Hang looked at Suzuki Sonoko with some disdain.

Although Sonoko Suzuki didn't say it directly, Jiang Hang could tell from her expression that she meant exactly that.

Sensing the undisguised disdain in Jiang Hang's eyes, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but show her displeasure.

"What, am I not worthy? Do you know that I am the 'Teitan High School Deduction Queen' who has helped the police solve several cases?"

Sonoko Suzuki then mentioned several cases in which Conan had solved them in a daze after she was drugged.

Although she herself did not know how she solved those cases, she unceremoniously took credit for solving them and firmly believed that she also had a deductive talent no less than that of Shinichi Kudo, but she just couldn't bring it out in normal times.

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko's inexplicably confident demeanor, Jiang Hang gave her a pitying look.

Kogoro Mouri was completely fooled by his daughter's close proximity to Conan. Sonoko Suzuki, at such a young age, already has the same symptoms as Kogoro Mouri, which makes one worry about the future of the Suzuki Foundation.

"Then you should go back and rest for a while. We'll go back to the explosion site this afternoon to check on the situation."

After successfully coaxing the dim-witted Sonoko Suzuki away using some persuasive techniques, Jiang Hang called the Miyano sisters in Hakodate and told them they could prepare to head to Kitazawa Village.

After that, Jiang Hang borrowed a police car from the Hokkaido police and, with several officers, sped towards the tunnel.

He was just standing her up; he didn't want to get entangled with Sonoko Suzuki, the heiress of the conglomerate. He'd rather let her remain tied to the Mori family.

Therefore, while Sonoko Suzuki left to let her family and Ran know she was safe, Jiang Hang had already begun his high-speed journey through Hokkaido.

Chapter 578: Conan's Continued Instigation

When Jiang Hang drove his police car at breakneck speed to the tunnel where the explosion had occurred, the police in the vicinity had already cordoned off the entire area.

Police in the vicinity are currently assessing the casualties from this explosion.

Fortunately, the traffic flow in this area is not too heavy.

Thanks to the police's prior preparations, the explosion caused only minor injuries to a few officers patrolling nearby and the owner of a car, aside from economic losses. In other words, there were almost no casualties.

When Jiang Hang arrived, he could clearly see that there were still many journalists who had rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to conduct on-site investigations as soon as possible.

Because Jiang Hang's driving style was too wild and unrestrained, when he got out of the car to help the police officers who were carsick and couldn't adapt to the speed to get out and rest, many reporters came over to ask him if he knew about the case.

Jiang Hang skillfully indicated that the police were already holding a press conference regarding the explosion, telling the reporters to check the press conference themselves, while also precisely avoiding the reporters' cameras.

"Are you going to rest here a bit longer? I'll go in and check the situation first."

The expressions of those officers weren't very pleasant. After the police officer said this, Jiang Hang showed his ID to the officers at the scene and entered the explosion site without any hindrance.

Clearly, the officers above must have already informed these police officers, instructing them to comply with Jiang Hang's demands as much as possible.

So, shortly after arriving at the crime scene, the police officers quickly presented Jiang Hang with all the information they had collected and organized before he arrived.

"That bomber really went all out; from the very beginning, he was aiming to kill everyone on the bus."

Jiang Hang muttered to himself. Although more than an hour had passed since the explosion, the smell of gunpowder was still very strong at the scene.

Police and firefighters are still working diligently to clear the rubble.

After all, they didn't know if there were any unexploded ordnance hidden under the rubble.

Jiang Hang offered some simple assistance, clearing some of the rubble and also accurately determining the original location and approximate yield of the bombs.

The type of bomb used can also be roughly determined, which does correspond to Jiang Hang's previous investigation.

However, there are indeed no useful clues to be found here.

An explosion was enough to destroy all traces left by the criminal.

However, Jiang Hang came here for more than just to investigate the explosion site.

He also needs to find the location where the prisoner was when the explosion occurred.

This location is definitely not too far.

The greater the distance, the less stable the signal, and the more likely there will be a delay in detonation.

The prisoner must have carefully checked these things to make such a commotion. If it weren't for Jiang Hang's interference, those bombs would have been detonated normally after the train entered the tunnel.

Jiang Hang could probably imagine the prisoner's furious expression when he discovered that despite all his preparations, the detonator in his hand hadn't reacted at all.

Then he was probably pressing the button repeatedly, trying to trigger the bomb's detonator.

From the signal jammer blocking the loss of that signal, to them hearing the explosion from the train.

If we disregard the effects of sound speed and vehicle speed, it can be basically confirmed that the perpetrator was likely trying to detonate the explosives.

So he was planning to go and investigate the area.

The local police are naturally trying to investigate these matters as well.

However, their skill level was indeed not very good. They were just relying on their own eyes and some police dogs that didn't have a clear target to search for.

They don't feel like 21st-century police officers at all; they seem more like police officers from the 1960s or 70s.

That's just how the world of Detective Conan is.

On the other side of a bunch of messy, high-tech technologies, there is a group of police officers who seem completely unaffected by modern criminal investigation techniques.

According to the system, this world is a complex world centered around various detectives, so the world's setting naturally revolves around the abilities of these detectives.

In short, after mentally ranting like this, Jiang Hang, the transmigrator who bore no resemblance to a traditional detective, continued to use his eagle-eye cheat to search the mountainous area near the scene.

By this time, the police officers who had come with Jiang Hang had rested for a while and had adapted quite a bit. Now they were also helping out by Jiang Hang's side.

So it was definitely the right decision not to bring Suzuki Sonoko here. This place is indeed not suitable for bringing such a young lady. The flow of people and vehicles here is not large. Apart from the people living nearby, Jiang Hang quickly discovered something special on a hillside near the tunnel.

"this is..."

From Jiang Hang's eagle-eye perspective, a piece of debris with a distinctive color appeared.

He immediately pointed to a nearby police officer and then squatted down to examine the debris.

The police officers standing nearby hadn't yet figured out what it was and were wondering what it was when Jiang Hang pointed to a patch of grass that looked slightly trampled: "If I'm not mistaken, the criminal was standing right here when the bomb was detonated."

Jiang Hang picked up some debris: "This should be the detonator made by the criminals."

He briefly reconstructed the scene, showing how the prisoner, in a fit of rage after the failed detonation, smashed down the detonator, which ironically caused the detonator to successfully detonate the bomb.

These fragments are likely from when the perpetrator discovered the explosion and, fearing the nearby police would notice, hastily cleaned up the scene without thoroughly cleaning it, leaving behind these small, broken pieces.

After identifying what appeared to be the criminal's trail, Jiang Hang used Eagle Eye to determine the criminal's escape route.

They followed the trail of traces that ordinary police officers would never notice, only becoming aware of them after Jiang Hang pointed them out.

The prisoner appeared to have some experience and counter-surveillance skills during the police search.

“It seems like he’s a repeat offender, which is why he has this kind of experience,” Jiang Hang explained to the police officers, while also giving a general description of the physical characteristics of the person who left these marks.

Male, approximately 1.75 to 1.8 meters tall, shoe size 45, weight approximately 70 to 80 kilograms.

Following these clues, they eventually tracked the suspects down to a nearby side road.

Here, they were finally able to determine, based on a relatively obvious tire track on the path, that this must be the car the criminals drove here when they committed the crime.
