He clearly remembered that Jiang Hang had been inside the house before they arrived. How did he manage to puncture his car tires?

Are there other helpers?

His idea was correct this time, because as Jiang Hang raised his hand, a magnificent eagle landed on Jiang Hang's arm.

Seeing the eagle, almost half a person's height, perched on Jiang Hang's arm, and Jiang Hang's arm not trembling at all, Yamao Keisuke felt that this world was no longer the world he knew before he went to prison.

Why do such humanoid monsters really exist in the world?

He limply put down the hunting rifle in his hands.

Jiang Hang felt bored seeing that Yamao Keisuke had given in so quickly.

He originally thought that a criminal capable of committing such a heinous crime for ten billion yen would be even more principled.

Is this the five-star commission he's been waiting for all this time?

That's really disappointing.

I feel... he's not as good as that little bastard, Tokie Takuzo.

At least that little scoundrel is still diligently digging for that so-called treasure on Mount Hakodate.

However, since the agency level task that had been holding me back for a while is finally completed, I'll check back in Tokyo to see what new things he's updated.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Hang nimbly took control of Yamao Keisuke, who was cooperating with him.

No wonder he served eight years in prison; his experience is indeed rich, and what he learned in prison can come in handy at this time.

As a result, Jiang Hang, who originally wanted to teach the other party a lesson for not cooperating, did not find any opportunity to make a move throughout the entire process.

However, Jiang Hang himself wouldn't feel at ease if he couldn't teach the other party a lesson.

So, after he had the other person under control, he suddenly asked him a question.

"But this time, how many years will you be in prison?"

"Illegally possessing firearms and gunpowder, attempting to detonate a dam, attempting to detonate a high-speed train, and blowing up a tunnel. Although no one was injured or killed with my help, these crimes, even if not punishable by death, should at least carry a life sentence."

Sensing the despair in Yamao Keisuke's eyes, Jiang Hang added fuel to the fire.

"Speaking of which, those jewels you hid back then shouldn't be easy to retrieve using conventional methods, otherwise you wouldn't have thought of using the method of blowing up the dam."

Looking at Yamao Keisuke's dejected appearance, it seems that he had indeed tried many methods to take out the jewels before, but all of them failed. That's why he went completely crazy and wanted to use this method to detonate the dam.

"As you should know, in Japan, although the death penalty exists, those who are sentenced to death often live in prison for more than ten years or even longer without being executed. In the end, it may become life imprisonment."

"And life imprisonment also has the opportunity to be released early."

Jiang Hang whispered a reminder in the other person's ear.

"If those jewels are hidden well enough, the Japanese police won't expend too much effort to find them."

"That means when you are released from prison again, you will still have the opportunity to retrieve these jewels."

Seeing the desire reappear in Yamao Keisuke's eyes, Jiang Hang knew that this guy was still thinking about those jewels.

After all, we've already paid such a high price; it's impossible to let go so quickly.

Having served eight years in prison, he was more sensitive to matters of sentence than anyone else.

He had indeed heard of some prisons where prisoners had been held for over a decade without being executed.

I also know that a life sentence can be reduced to a 20-year fixed-term imprisonment.

Twenty years later, that is to say, he was only in his fifties at that time.

If by then the police haven't unearthed the jewels from the bottom of the river, he'll still have a chance.

Seeing that Yamao Keisuke has completely settled down, he's probably now thinking about holding out until he's released from prison again before looking for these jewels.

Seeing the expectant look on the other person's face, Jiang Hang secretly smiled to himself.

I'll just hold onto this hope and go back to prison.

Indeed, in Japan, the execution of a death sentence requires the Minister of Justice to sign an execution order.

These ministers of justice in the North, who are unwilling to comply, generally try to prolong the execution time of those enforcement orders, preferably until their next term begins.

But when the next administration comes in, it will take the same measures and continue to postpone these enforcement orders.

This cycle repeated itself, and death row inmates were thus dragged out for more than a decade.

But if Keisuke Yamao thinks he can be like that, he would be very wrong.

After all, he almost killed the governor of Hokkaido, as well as other high-ranking officials from Hokkaido who accompanied the governor to the opening ceremony.

Once he is sentenced to death, he will probably become the fastest death row inmate to be executed in Japan in the 21st century.

Now that they've given the other party these hopes, they'll probably only feel even more desperate when the moment of execution is confirmed.

Thinking about plunging such a scumbag into the deepest despair made Jiang Hang feel much better.

About half an hour later, several police cars quietly entered Kitazawa Village after midnight and arrived near Muto Takehiko's hut.

Seeing Hikawa Shogo, who had been beaten beyond recognition, and Yamao Keisuke being handcuffed, Jiang Hang then led the police to find the bombs that had already been planted one by one and had them defused.

After doing all this, Jiang Hang, along with the Miyano sisters who had rested briefly at the hotel, left the village in a police car.

By the time they finished giving their statements and left the police station surrounded by a group of bigwigs thanking them, it was already dawn.

At the police station entrance, Jiang Hang finally received a thank you from Takehiko Muto.

He also gave a statement all night, but since he wasn't involved in the matter much, he was released earlier.

He had stayed at the police station without sleeping, only because he was waiting for Jiang Hang to come out.

"No need for words of thanks. Just putting your heart into making those wood carvings is the greatest gratitude you can give me."

Seeing the gratitude in Muto Takehiko's eyes, Jiang Hang waved his hand, indicating that the other party should go and rest.

However, it seems that Muto Takehiko has other ideas besides these.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked Jiang Hang, "Mr. Jiang Hang, are there really no chance of dismantling that dam using the methods you mentioned before?"

Chapter 586: Shotaro Tatewaki

Hearing the question posed by the somewhat bewildered man in front of him, Jiang Hang patted him on the shoulder.

It's clear that he has a deep affection for the old Kitazawa village. Even though the village has been submerged for years, he still can't forget the place where he grew up.

Perhaps one night, he even seriously considered whether if he let Yamao Keisuke and the others blow up the dam, the old village could be brought back.

"But there's no going back. Even if the dam is really gone, I'm afraid not many people would be willing to go back to live there."

Jiang Hang paused for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat cold tone: "And to be honest, the construction of the Beize Dam is a good thing for most people. Look at the residents of Beize Village before, well, they should be more satisfied with their lives now than before."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, a hint of helplessness flashed in Mutō Takehiko's eyes.

This is a fact.

After all, the construction of the Kitazawa Dam did bring them many benefits.

There are fewer and fewer people who still hold onto those ideas from back then.

It could even be said that apart from him persisting, everyone else has already gotten used to their current life.

"However, it is good to remember the past and to cherish one's homeland. But your strength alone is not enough. If you really miss Kitazawa Village back then, use your skills to carve out what you want to express and let more people know about it."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Muto Takehiko's body trembled, and his eyes widened.

"Let me recreate the old Kitazawa Village?"

He subconsciously felt that his skills were not good enough and that he couldn't do it.

"But only you could do it, so you must have some confidence in yourself, and only you could do this."

“If you don’t do the only thing you still can’t forget about Kitazawa Village now, then in a few decades, the Kitazawa Village will really be completely forgotten.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Mutō Takehiko's expression immediately hardened.

Although he couldn't bring back the Kitazawa Village of the past, he still hadn't completely gotten over it.

But Jiang Hang's words did indeed wake him up.

If he doesn't do it himself, then no one else will.

Jiang Hang yawned as he watched Muto Takehiko's departing figure, which still carried a hint of hesitation but was overall more determined than before.

He's been busy for so long, and he still has to comfort others; he should go and rest for a while.

In the afternoon, they still had to go to Asahikawa to see what kind of famous detective Kaito Kid had found for him.

Thinking this, Jiang Hang also sent a message to Conan.

This is the first layer of the truth about the case from eight years ago.

"Eight years ago, when Yamao Keisuke was returning to Kitazawa Village with the stolen treasure, he accidentally ran over and killed Tono Mizuki's sister. This scene, along with the sight of the jewelry scattered all over the ground during the accident, was witnessed by Tachihara Fuyumi's son, who happened to be passing by. So he simply kidnapped her son and then threw him off a cliff on the road."

In Beize Village, upon seeing the message sent by Jiang Hang, the expression on his face became subtle.

"Hasn't the whole truth already been investigated and clarified? What else do I need to investigate?"

Conan then made a sarcastic remark to Jiang Hang.

Ran is still dealing with Sonoko Suzuki, who woke up this morning in a strange state. He only managed to get a chance to get some fresh air after a long day.

Both incidents that night were caused by the same person in different places.

"Who knows? That child was on the roadside at that time because he wanted to see the swans, but what was the other person's reason for being there at that time?"

Jiang Hang's email contained such an inquiry, which made Conan fall silent again.

What other truths are hidden?

He walked toward the room around the hotel.

Jiang Hang had mentioned to him before that this was actually Tachihara Fuyumi's room, where her son, who had been in a coma for eight years, lay and had not yet woken up.

"So how do we investigate this?"

As Conan muttered to himself, he saw the curtains in front of the door move slightly, and a 16-year-old boy stood in the room, pulling back the curtains and looking at him with a puzzled yet innocent gaze.

Conan's lips twitched slightly as he thought about Jiang Hang's request to him, and this thought came to mind.

Could it be that Jiang Hang has already figured out that the child who has been asleep for eight years will be revived in the next two days?
