The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"I hope it's wrong. If we really run into Jiang Hang, I'm afraid Yuanzi will be tricked by him again."

Having grown up together, she knew her best friend's personality well.

They are competitive but also forgetful, and generally tend to lose interest in things after only a short time.

Often, after a setback, while trying to turn things around, she is easily distracted by other things and then focuses her attention on other matters.

As long as you don't deliberately bring up this matter in front of the other person again, the previous issues can be considered a thing of the past.

So although Sonoko Suzuki is competitive, she hasn't really been persistent about many things from childhood to adulthood.

To be honest, it's probably because Shinichi offended her when they were kids, and they did grow up together, that's why Sonoko Suzuki has always disliked Shinichi. When Shinichi first disappeared, she could even joke that Ran should find a new "husband".

It was only after a long time that Sonoko gradually forgot about the unpleasant things that had happened between them in the past. Occasionally, when she would complain to Shinichi, she would also worry about his safety.

Recalling Sonoko Suzuki's personality, Ran knew that if Sonoko were to provoke Jiang Hang now, she would probably be even more mistreated than when she provoked Shinichi when they were children.

After all, Jiang Hang can even trick Conan all the time, so how could Suzuki Sonoko possibly be a match for him?

It's clear from the fact that Suzuki Sonoko was completely dominated by Jiang Hang throughout the day, with no power to fight back.

And all of this is indeed Conan's fault.

The secret treasure that Jiang Hang sent him was discovered by Yuanzi, and then last night he encouraged Yuanzi to go and confront Jiang Hang, and now he is still encouraging Yuanzi to go and confront Jiang Hang.

Is this really intended to make Sonoko live in Jiang Hang's shadow for the rest of her life?

With this thought in mind, Ran's mind completed the identity swap between Shinichi Kudo and Conan more naturally than Conan himself at this moment.

Xiaolan, who has not yet fully recovered from the amnesia caused by the shooting and the fact that her childhood sweetheart suddenly turned into a child, does indeed have some subtle discrepancies in her perception.

In short, let's think about how to persuade Sonoko Suzuki to give up the idea of ​​proving herself to Jiang Hang.

She reached out and patted Conan's head, expressing her dissatisfaction with his behavior: "Since it's Conan who caused this trouble, you have to find a way to resolve it."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The original Conan movie was even more outrageous. Knowing only that Asakura had received a threatening letter, he immediately targeted Kitazawa Village and led a group of people there to "team up" and catch the criminal.

Chapter 579: Kitazawa Dam

A few snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

When Jiang Hang changed cars and drove alone to Kitazawa Village, Shiho Miyano and the others had already arrived there and booked a room for him.

After all, the two of them didn't have as many problems in between. After receiving Jiang Hang's call in the morning, they took the train to this area.

Before Jiang Hang arrived, they had already conducted a brief investigation of the situation in Beize Village according to Jiang Hang's ideas.

"So, what do you think of this place?"

After getting off the bus and meeting up with Shiho Miyano and the others, Jiang Hang asked them for their opinions on the place.

"It's not bad, considering this is a tourist attraction, just not particularly popular," Shiho Miyano replied.

Actually, she is more adapted to this kind of environment.

She wasn't someone who particularly enjoyed crowds.

She naturally wouldn't dislike a tourist spot that wasn't too crowded but wasn't completely deserted either, and had decent scenery.

Akemi Miyano stood to the side holding various maps and information about Kitazawa Village that she had obtained from the service station next door.

It's clear that the entire village is now focused on making various preparations for the village's founding and the fifth anniversary celebration of the newly built dam, which are just a few days away.

"They took the initiative to extend an invitation to Governor Asakura to attend the celebration and give his opinion. They probably wanted to use Governor Asakura's status and position, as well as the news media who came with him, to promote the tourist attractions in Kitazawa Village to the outside world again."

Miyano Akemi's abilities are certainly trustworthy; they had only arrived a little over an hour earlier and had already discovered a lot of useful information.

Moreover, these investigations have not revealed their identities, and at least for now, no suspicious people have been targeting them.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please put everything in the hotel first, and then proceed with the next step of the search."

After meeting up with the two women, Jiang Hang completed the check-in procedures under the guidance of a female receptionist at the hotel.

During this process, Jiang Hang keenly noticed a rather subtle area on the waitress's hands: some calluses.

These calluses don't grow from doing heavy work or engaging in other forms of exercise.

With just one glance, Jiang Hang could tell that this woman, who was about 30 years old, was a skilled marksman, and that she was using a hunting rifle, probably a weapon she used to hunt wild animals in the mountains.

In Hokkaido, in these less developed mountain villages, it's quite possible that some families might keep a few hunting rifles.

However, although Jiang Hang noticed it, he did not point it out to the other party.

After all, he didn't even use his real name when he checked in; he just used a fake name to complete the check-in process.

Jiang Hang is indeed quite well-known these days, so it's best to keep a low profile.

Therefore, after realizing these things, Jiang Hang simply wrote them down silently and casually asked the other party's name and situation.

Mizuki Tono.

33 years old this year.

He is a local resident who grew up in the Kitazawa Village area.

After graduating from high school, he wandered around for a while, but eventually returned to the newly established beloved Kitazawa Village for various reasons, and became a receptionist at the only inn in the village.

"It seems you have a deep affection for your hometown, Ms. Tono."

Jiang Hang made a casual, polite remark, but then keenly caught a hint of unnatural emotion on the other person's face.

Then it was quickly masked by the other person's professional fake smile.

"Yes, after all, it's our hometown where we grew up together. Although we've moved to a different place, the people living here are still the same ones from back then."

Mizuki Tono concealed his true thoughts and left after taking Jiang Hang to his room.

Is the receptionist here for some other purpose, and is she skilled in using firearms?

Jiang Hang noted this information down and decided to put it aside for the time being.

Based on current information, the other party is unlikely to be the two suspects who appeared at the explosion site.

After putting down his luggage, Jiang Hang made some preparations and then led the two women toward the dam.

The road from Xinbeize Village to Beize Dam is not far; it only takes a few minutes to drive there.

"You mean the suspect might want to blow up the dam?"

Sitting in the car, Shiho Miyano was slightly puzzled by Jiang Hang's words.

That bomber clearly belonged to the ruthless and cruel type who disregarded human life.

You could tell from the fact that the other side was planning to blow up the train he took that morning that they intended to destroy Jianghang.

The lives of hundreds of people probably meant nothing to that prisoner.

Given such a criminal, it wouldn't be surprising if the other party really wanted to blow up the dam, causing it to collapse and flood the entire Xinbeize Village.

But the question is, how did Jiang Hang determine that the other party would do this?

Jiang Hang shook his head at this: "That's why I'm still looking for the culprit's purpose. Although I have a few suspects now, I can't make any rash moves until I'm sure they haven't planted more bombs in other places. I need to clarify the situation before dealing with those culprits."

Upon arriving at the dam in Kitazawa Village, Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano sighed slightly as they looked at the dam, which had been built in just a few years, and then took photos to mark the occasion.

It was daytime, so there were still some tourists visiting the dam.

However, these people were mostly ordinary tourists and had nothing to do with the criminals.

Jiang Hang, meanwhile, was observing the situation on both sides from above the dam.

Ten years ago, upstream of the dam was the original Kitazawa Village.

Then, due to Yuichiro Asakura's actions, all the residents of the old Kitazawa Village were relocated to the present-day Shin-Kitazawa Village.

The former Kitazawa village was completely submerged during the construction of the dam.

Jiang Hang stood on the dam, looking towards the direction of the old Beize Village.

That village is now submerged dozens of meters underwater. Unless a once-in-a-century drought occurs or the dam is destroyed by human intervention, the old Kitazawa village will probably not reappear in the world's sight for a long time.

It is precisely for this reason that, despite the extremely generous compensation offered by Asakura Yuichiro, there were still many dissenting voices in Kitazawa Village who were unwilling to leave their homeland.

However, not many people had this idea. More than 90% of the hundreds of residents in Kitazawa Village agreed to the relocation conditions with generous compensation. In the following years, they also built a ski resort and some tourist attractions based on the conditions of the new Kitazawa Village.

Although it is still a young tourist destination, Yuichiro Asakura has always regarded the establishment of Shin-Kitazawa Village as the most important experience of his life, so he has given the place some support. Those who stayed in Kitazawa Village have indeed made a lot of money over the years, so naturally they have no complaints about Yuichiro Asakura.

As for the remaining dissenting voices, they were mostly from elderly people.

They have little voice online, and their initial opposition has been either dissuaded or forced by their descendants to agree.

There are very few young people left in the entire Kitazawa village who still oppose these things.

Those who are still speaking out online are the focus of Jiang Hang's investigation.

Jiang Hang turned his attention back and began using Eagle Vision to check the location of the explosives in the vicinity.

It was just as he expected.

Although it wasn't much, the prisoner had indeed begun some preliminary preparations.

These bombs were likely placed in relatively hidden locations to avoid detection by the reservoir staff, and their explosive yield appears to be far less than those detonated in the tunnel.

It seems that the prisoner was also testing the power and stability of the explosion on the other side of the tunnel.

They have discovered that the remote control used to detonate the bomb has a signal problem, and they will probably continue to investigate it for a while to ensure that everything is foolproof before taking action.

Furthermore, under Jiang Hang's instructions, the police have already informed Asakura Yuichiro of the news that he has canceled his recent schedule.

This news should also calm the prisoners down a bit.

If the other party truly feels a sense of crisis, they might be forced to detonate the dam prematurely.

"So, what secrets are hidden in the old Beize Village that made the prisoner go to such lengths to plan it?" Jiang Hang murmured to himself.

He wasn't actually someone who liked to investigate the motives of criminals; it was just that this was the first time he had encountered such a ruthless and vengeful person who wanted to take the lives of a whole truckload of people as the targets of his experiments.

The fact that a prisoner's mind is so twisted makes one wonder just how much obsession he has with the old Kitazawa Village.

Jiang Hang muttered to himself, then glanced at the offices of the dam staff.

Although the locations where the prisoners planted these bombs were indeed very well hidden, it was still possible to discover the problem in advance if the staff had been more vigilant.

After just one glance, Jiang Hang understood why the prisoner was so bold.
