The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

In other words, the opponent's combat power ceiling, if placed in Detective Conan, would be at the level of Kogoro Mouri.

However, the other person's personality is not suited to be an assassin, so let them rest assured and become a detective or forensic doctor in the future.

After muttering this to himself, Jiang Hang cast a disguise skill on the other party, reducing their learning efficiency to 30%, letting them adapt to this speed first.

Don't underestimate the 30% increase; now, level 5 firms provide employees with five to six times the learning efficiency boost that firms did at the beginning.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Hang only adjusts the concentration for Sakaki Shizuka and the others to between 60% and 80%. If it goes any faster, although it won't have any impact on the human body, it's easy to become addicted to learning.

Just like when Shizuka Sakaki and the others are currently synchronizing with Animus, in order to help them master those skills more quickly, Jiang Hang has given them a rare 100% efficiency setting, allowing them to fully experience how every thought they have can improve their abilities.

Of course, this still can't compare to Jianghang, which has its own learning space.

After all, Jiang Hang in the learning space is always in a perfect state.

He is focused, diligent, and talented; everything can be absorbed into his mind in the shortest amount of time.

In just one night, one can reach places that others might not be able to reach in a lifetime.

In short, even disregarding Jiang Hang's overpowered abilities, a 30% efficiency is already considered a super genius-level cheat.

Let the other party adapt first, then gradually increase the efficiency, and finally adjust to the most suitable position for the other party.

At the same time, I sent the disguise techniques that I had taught Shizuka Sakaki and the others to Shotaro Tatewaki in text form, so that he could study them on his own.

If there's anything the other person still doesn't understand, they can ask them again later.

Having just signed the contract, Shotaro Tatewaki looked at a document sent to his phone, thinking of the deceased Kiyomi Mizushima and Ms. Sakurako who was being targeted by that flower shop, and made up his mind to protect Ms. Sakurako well.

Ms. Sakura had warned Mr. Jiang Hang from Tokyo that he was a very dangerous person.

After he returned, he investigated the other party's resume and found that he was indeed a very important person.

When he was with Ms. Sakura, he felt that he would encounter several cases almost every month, which would be difficult to handle.

But Jiang Hang has solved dozens of murder cases, hundreds of online fraud gangs, and several armed terrorist groups in just six months. The Metropolitan Police Department made an exception and granted this foreigner the status of a special advisor to the department.

Even the railway tunnel explosion two days ago, judging from online comments, seems to have been resolved by Jiang Hang.

Looking at Jiang Hang's photos online, he finally realized that none of them matched the Jiang Hang he had met today.

When he saw this, he was a little worried that the Jiang Hang he met today might be an imposter.

But Jiang Hang seemed to see right through his thoughts and explained using the disguise technique he had provided.

According to Jiang Hang, he doesn't like to show his true face; as a detective, he should be more low-key.

So when he goes to interviews or appears on television, he will deliberately adjust his appearance to avoid being photographed.

"Even photos taken secretly by others with their mobile phones, my technology can modify and adjust my appearance in the photos."

"Of course, if you are interested in these techniques, I can teach them to you in the future, but that will have to wait until you are ready to formally become my apprentice."

Looking at the message Jiang Hang sent, Shotaro Tatewaki couldn't help but recall the way Jiang Hang typed on the keyboard in the coffee shop.

What teenager at that age isn't a bit immature and eccentric?

It's just that his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) moments didn't align with the direction his heart was drawn to.

On the other hand, someone like Jiang Hang appears out of nowhere, effortlessly uncovers the truth of a case, and then casually sips coffee in a café while saying things like, "I took down a lot of suicide websites in Tokyo before, those people wouldn't dare mess with me."

Even when facing the flower shop, which even Miss Sakura had to treat with extra caution, Jiang Hang's attitude was completely indifferent, as if as long as that flower shop dared to appear by his side, it would only end up being captured by him personally.

This was the first time in the year he had known Miss Sakura that he had seen a man who surpassed her in every aspect of aura and ability.

Just thinking about the scene when he met Jiang Hang today was enough to make the young man's heart flutter.

As for Kujou Sakurako's reminder, the boy was already thinking about whether he could get closer to Miss Sakurako if he studied with her.

With this in mind, the teenager, who felt unusually focused, turned his attention to the documents. He wanted to master them as quickly as possible to create that illusion for those around him who were watching him.

Shotaro Tatewaki felt that he was in a great mood for studying tonight. Even though he was encountering the words for the first time, they felt unusually familiar to him, and he could figure out their general meaning after thinking about them for a little while.

Even for words whose meanings he doesn't know at all, he can quickly form a fairly complete impression in his mind by searching for their general meaning.

Could it be that he is really talented in this area?

Looking at the last message Jiang Hang sent him.

“I can see the talent you possess. Your talent is no less than that of Hattori Heiji, but these talents still need someone to discover them.”

Heiji Hattori... Although it was a name he had never heard of, a quick online search would reveal that he was a famous high school detective from the Kansai region.

Do you think you can reach that level in the other person's mind?

Thinking about his undeserved title as a high school detective, Shotaro Tatewaki once again composed himself.

Although he doesn't know what he wants for the future, it doesn't seem like a problem to try to get closer to Miss Yingzi in the direction that Mr. Jiang Hang has pointed out to him.

······

The next day, after Jiang Hang woke up in the hotel, he was greeted by a bunch of questions sent to him by Shotaro Tatewaki.

This kid is really going all out to help Kujou Sakurako; he probably didn't sleep well last night.

However, this is also good, as it is relatively difficult for a novice to fake such a tired expression.

He answered a few questions briefly, telling them not to rush and to take their time. After sending a message to the Miyano sisters, who had also been busy all night, he headed to the location of his other target.

Chapter 593: The Shadow Above Asahikawa and Ogiwara Sayu

The homicide and suicide rates are very high in Asahikawa.

In terms of proportion, it might even be much higher than in Tokyo.

After all, there are more than 3000 million people living in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Even though all sorts of cases happen there every day, generally speaking, unless you are a famous detective with a detective's talent, you may never encounter a murder case more than a few times in your life.

Asahikawa, with a population of only about 300,000, which is one percent of the Tokyo metropolitan area, has a persistently high crime rate due to a variety of cases.

Of course, it's not just Asahikawa; the crime and suicide rates throughout Hokkaido are also quite high, and many cases reveal some clues about this.

What caused all of this was the shadow that had been looming over Asahikawa City for many years.

The flower shop, and the organization he founded with the aim of inducing others to commit suicide or crime.

Jiang Hang spent half the night carefully sorting out the crime records of Hokkaido over the years, and then traced those past records online.

However, due to his recent internet cleanup campaign, these guys have indeed become more cautious. They've probably replaced many servers, and things from a long time ago have been completely buried by them.

What Jiang Hang was finally able to confirm was that the organization's name was "Phantom," which means phantom or ghost. It seemed to indicate that the organization's purpose was to act like a ghost, inducing the desires in others' hearts before quietly leaving to wait for the fruit to bloom.

It's likely that the earliest suicide websites were established by Phantom, and then gradually spread covertly throughout Japan.

Jiang Hang is now looking for the suicide website in Asahikawa, which is his other target besides Mizushima Kiyomi.

Jiang Hang was not lying yesterday, but the situation regarding this target is different from that of Mizushima Kiyomi.

Kiyomi Mizushima was lured out of her inner darkness by the Phantom. Unable to extricate herself from the spell of the Phantom's words, she chose to end her own life rather than kill her sister, and left this world alone.

The other target, to be precise, wasn't some big shot, just an ordinary high school girl.

Even the darkness within him wasn't as great as that of Mizushima Kiyomi, which is why Jiang Hang didn't rush to deal with the matter after discovering her presence yesterday.

The Phantom's method towards this high school girl wasn't to induce her to commit suicide, but rather to amplify her inner jealousy and resentment, elevating her to a high position and making her increasingly arrogant and domineering with encouragement and suggestions.

In essence, Phantom's contact with this target is an attempt to entice the target to bully others.

Simply put, it's school bullying, only it's more extreme and has no limits.

To be honest, school bullying was a relatively unfamiliar area for Jiang Hang. After all, his school environment in his previous life was quite good. It was only in junior high school that things got a bit mixed up. But being in the top class, he was practically invisible and naturally didn't encounter any inexplicable bullying.

However, this does not diminish his aversion to school bullying, especially this kind of Japanese-style school bullying, which he has witnessed too many times in various works.

In Japan, where the collective is paramount, if a few people gang up on one person, that person, being the one who doesn't fit in, will gradually be ostracized by the entire class.

Jiang Hang didn't understand at first why the Phantom would use this method to make people feel less psychologically pressured to bully others. Wouldn't it be easier to directly target the victims?

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the Phantoms don't actually care who the bullies are. They simply wait for the darker aspects of the bullying process to gradually emerge in the hearts of both the perpetrators and victims, and then seek out the most radiant fruit to pluck.

As Jiang Hang pondered this, he arrived at the location of the high school.

He had investigated this high school, and it could be considered the public high school with the highest deviation score in Asahikawa.

Just a quick glance from the outside reveals that this high school has a rather strict academic atmosphere.

However, even the strictest school rules cannot stop the bullying that is hidden deep within.

Based on the chat logs with others on the target's phone, Jiang Hang was able to roughly piece together the cause and effect in his mind.

Simply put, it's about being angry and ashamed because you can't have the love you want.

The best boy in the class confessed his feelings to a beautiful but withdrawn girl, but she rejected him without hesitation.

Then, taking advantage of the boy's disappointment, she developed a crush on him. At the same time, she was also a popular target in the class and planned to use this to take her relationship with the boy to the next level. However, she was rejected by the boy again.

It was around that time that the girl, who had failed in her confession and ruined her relationship with the boy, posted a lot of complaints about the boy and her dislike for the girl he liked online, which caught the attention of Phantom.

Thus, a certain entity of the Phantom gradually lowered the target's guard through these social platforms and through some replies, becoming the target's emotional dumping ground.

Eventually, under the other party's gradual enticement, the target transferred all his anger and hatred to that girl, and began to try to isolate the other girl by gathering his close female friends.

The girl's family must have some money, so they couldn't use any extreme measures against her. Moreover, the girl seemed to have long been used to this level of passive-aggressive behavior. Even though she was isolated by the whole class, she was still able to attend class peacefully.

Fueled by ever-growing jealousy, the target, lured by the Phantom, began searching for the girl's weaknesses, eventually discovering another seemingly weaker and less noticeable girl who was the only one in the entire school who was close to the girl.

Realizing this, the target immediately began a new round of bullying, except that the bully changed from that girl to a girl who was close to her.

The girl's family background wasn't great to begin with, and she was previously considered one of the lowest-ranking, invisible people in her class. Because she became friends with a girl, she was targeted by the target in a more intense manner.

Under the dual torment of mental and physical suffering, not only did his grades plummet, but his overall appearance also deteriorated.

If this continues, it might not be long before the other person can't bear the torment and chooses to drop out of school, or be taken advantage of by the Phantom and die in despair, or become a weapon in the Phantom's hands to take revenge on society.

However, now that Jiang Hang has arrived, and Phantom withdrew yesterday after noticing his arrival, the ending of this story will naturally be completely rewritten by Jiang Hang.

"And... I didn't expect to run into a character from another work here, although the character's reputation was a bit hard to judge before I transmigrated," Jiang Hang shook his head.

Or perhaps, that work was written simply to capitalize on a trending topic and create a buzz to attract readers.

Jiang Hang looked at the student photo he found on his phone.

Even in the most ordinary student photos, you can see the girl's aloofness and beauty, as if she really doesn't care about anything.

The student's photo below shows the other person's name: Sayu Ogiwara.

Although he had never actually watched the work and only knew about it through online discussions, Jiang Hang had indeed been familiar with this famous female bodhisattva in the world of anime for a long time.
