The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

“Your investigation is very thorough. I now have a general idea of ​​who I’m looking for, which is why I called you back.”

As Jiang Hang said this, he looked at the girl sitting next to him and introduced her to Kaito Kuroba: "This is my client. She told me that she wants to thank you in person for your help."

As Jiang Hang introduced her, Koshimizu Nanatsuki gave Kuroba Kaito a simple bow.

Kaito Kuroba is indeed working very hard to return to Tokyo and reunite with his childhood friend as soon as possible. On the third day, Jiang Hang had already found the target from the "suspects" provided by the other party.

Tokitsu Junya, 18 years old, was born in Tokyo and grew up in Otaru, Hokkaido. He officially became a detective in high school and took a break from school for a period of time to travel around Japan, including Kyushu and Shikoku.

Although no specific cases were found during the investigation, the person was quite well-known in the Otaru area, apparently having helped the local police solve hundreds of cases.

Furthermore, the timing of the other person's trip coincides with the time when Mizuguchi Kana, a close friend of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, committed suicide.

After Jiang Hang forwarded this information to Koshimizu Nanatsuki, the girl immediately expressed her desire to come to Hokkaido.

It just so happened that the branch office in Asahikawa City needed someone to keep things in check besides the system-generated NPC detective, so Koshimizu Nanatsuki naturally became the new honorary president of the Hokkaido branch of the Pioneer Detective Agency.

Similarly, as a potential future member of the Assassin Brotherhood, Jiang Hang politely opened a box for the two of them.

"His real identity is Kaito Kid, the guy who was portrayed by the media as someone who dared not confront me directly. Since I found out that he happened to be in Hokkaido and owed me some favors, I called him over to help me find people."

Kaito Kuroba gritted his teeth and took a sip of coffee, clearly dissatisfied with Jiang Hang's words that "he dared not face me head-on," but helpless.

"And this is Koshimizu Nanatsuki, a detective and an avenger. For now, she's kind of my half-employee. Whether she'll become a full-time employee in the future depends on her own decision."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki did not offer any comment on Jiang Hang's introduction.

Since Kana Mizuguchi's death, she has become a complete avenger.

She now has four targets for revenge. One is Tokitsu Junya, whose reasoning was wrong, turning a suicide case into a homicide, which led to his friend being interrogated by the police using overly harsh methods. After Mizuguchi Kana's suicide, local rumors spread that Mizuguchi Kana committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The second were Hiroo Tsuchio and Renzo Koya, who were insiders in the case.

The former was a thief who left traces while preparing to burglarize the villa, thus misleading the police and detectives' investigation;

The latter was the villa's butler. Knowing the reason for the young lady's suicide, he remained silent and offered no explanation when Mizuguchi Kana was questioned by the police.

The third is the local police station, which used illegal means to coerce a confession, causing Kana Mizuguchi to suffer mental problems under prolonged interrogation. Even after the truth was discovered, they did not speak out to clear Kana Mizuguchi's name.

The fourth one is Ptantom, the mysterious organization that Jiang Hang just mentioned to her, which induces others to commit crimes and suicide.

Actually, to be honest, she probably felt the least hatred towards Tokitsu Junya.

After all, the other party is just a detective.

The insider concealed the clues.

The police completely trusted the investigation of a stranger and used illegal means to extract a confession.

And then there's the Ptantom, hidden deepest yet also the most crucial, who uses words online to incite others to commit suicide.

The latter three are obviously much worse.

However, because she was also a detective, Koshimizu Nanatsuki knew the consequences of her misjudgment and grew increasingly disgusted with Tokitsu Junya.

If the other party had been more attentive at the scene, or even just thought for a little longer, they might have noticed the truth, and her friend wouldn't have been targeted by the police and the Ptantom organization.

Fortunately, with Jiang Hang's help, she calmed down a bit during this time and realized that her dislike for Tokitsu Junya was not simply due to his dereliction of duty as a detective.

At the same time, she also felt remorse for herself.

She had already gone to the crime scene to confirm the facts when the incident occurred, but because she was not well-known, her conclusion of "suicide" was no different from the police's initial investigation results, which failed to satisfy the wealthy couple who had lost their daughter.

Later, due to her studies, she only stayed in that place for a day or two and left without much contact with the local police, which gave Tokitsu Junya, the newcomer, an opportunity.

By the time her friend called her for help before committing suicide, it was already too late.

Even though she booked her flight immediately after receiving the call, all she received upon landing was the news that her friend had committed suicide out of guilt.

She has always regretted not staying a few more days with her friend.

"If that guy is simply incompetent and makes a mistake in his reasoning, I will only try to expose the truth and make him give up the path of a detective."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Jiang Hang beside her with a firm tone, expressing her point of view.

"But if the other party is just trying to grab attention and chooses a more sensational facade even when they know the truth, then I will definitely make that guy get the punishment he deserves!"

Chapter 600: Utilizing Kaito Kid's Traffic

For Nanatsu Koshimizu, Tokizu Junya's side is no longer her primary target.

After all, the other party is a detective, and judging from their style of doing things, they are the kind of detective who craves fame. With their resources, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to destroy a detective's reputation in the public eye and make them infamous.

Now that she realizes that her friend's suicide, and even the case that was the cause of the case—the wealthy young lady who committed suicide after becoming addicted to drugs—may be linked to Ptantom, a criminal organization that lures others into the abyss, she has completely forgotten about this organization. She is determined to bring this criminal organization hiding behind the scenes down with her life.

Meanwhile, Kuroba Kaito, who was listening to Jiang Hang and Koshimizu Nanatsuki's conversation, finally sensed the impending trouble.

Of course, he was never one to shy away from trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to inherit his father's "legacy" and become the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid.

This time, however, the commotion that Jianghang is about to cause sounds quite significant.

Asahikawa may not be considered a big city, but in Hokkaido, it is second only to Sapporo.

As a result, Jiang Hang now says that Xuchuan is rotten to the core.

The city's elites collude and conspire, and even places like schools have become havens for corruption.

The descendants of those former landowners, driven by their own curiosity, constantly use various means to induce others to commit crimes, and they revel in seeing the crimes committed by those they have lured drag more innocent people down with them.

This organization developed and was established in Asahikawa using this almost perverse method, and gradually moved online. Taking advantage of the fact that people's emotions are more easily stirred up online, they searched for their "followers" online, making those with dark hearts willingly become their pawns.

The dozen or so suicide websites that Jianghang has dismantled in recent days are basically all of this type.

These websites may not have a direct connection with Ptantom, but they were all influenced by the organization to varying degrees during their creation. Ptantom's direct associates also use these websites as platforms or springboards to lure more people into their traps.

Perhaps this criminal organization is far smaller and less powerful than the winery and zoo, which are themselves international terrorist organizations, but in terms of its depravity, Ptantom may be even more disgusting than the winery and zoo!

Jiang Hang has been staying in Xuchuan these past few days. He has not only made contact with a local landlord family that is currently considered innocent, but he has also set up a detective branch here and brought in helpers from abroad and other places.

Clearly, after realizing that the root of Ptantom lay in Asahikawa, a city that was already beginning to decay, Jiang Hang decided to tear down the city's roof.

In the process, who knows how many important figures will be involved? Even though Jiang Hang recently saved the lives of many high-ranking officials in Hokkaido, he still owes a huge favor to the governor of Hokkaido, Asakura Yuichiro.

But when that time really comes, I doubt many people will be willing to help.

To be honest, when considering this situation, Kaito Kuroba even had an urge to stay and help.

After all, he's still just a 17-year-old high school student, and deep down he yearns for these things.

"So, you were just saying all this to me on purpose, weren't you?" Kaito Kuroba said to Jiang Hang without any doubt.

Instead of saying it online, he waited until he and Koshimizu Nanatsuki were both present before explaining it together. He wasn't stupid, so of course he could understand Jiang Hang's underlying meaning.

"After all, you are the number one celebrity in the Japanese phantom thief world right now. Wherever you appear, you will attract more attention. If we can temporarily focus that attention on the city of Asahigaoka and then expose the darkness of the city to the world, then it won't be so easy for those people to cover it up."

In a riverside café, two detectives and a phantom thief are seriously discussing how to get the phantom thief to better use his sexuality.

Kaito Kuroba first nodded, then shook his head.

"Although I really want to help you, and I know you can definitely produce a suitable gem as bait, too many people are watching Kaito Kid's identity."

"I've been missing from school for almost a week recently. It's already quite troublesome to deal with all the inquiries. Although I have helpers to cover for me, it's not convenient for me to disappear for a few more days to come to Asahikawa to make preparations if it weren't for the holidays."

While Kaito Kid's actions always appear slick and sophisticated, behind the scenes he requires countless hours of practice, meticulous planning of his heists, and backup plans for various unforeseen circumstances.

If it weren't for this caution, he would have been arrested by Officer Nakamori long ago.

Jiang Hang nodded in agreement.

Kaito Kid usually makes his move on a full moon night, because only on a full moon night can he verify the authenticity of the Pandora Gem, which is said to grant immortality.

This particular time, along with his student status, actually limited the scope of Kaito Kid's actions in many ways.

Only when the night of the full moon happens to fall on a weekend or holiday does he have the opportunity to travel to more distant places.

Just like the several times Kaito Kid's actions abroad in the movie, they all happened during Kaito Kuroba's winter or summer vacation.

Of course, sometimes, to cover up his actions, Kaito Kuroba would also act at other times to confuse the police.

To be honest, it was also because Inspector Nakamori, the person in charge of Phantom Thief Kid, only considered the short term and never observed Phantom Thief Kid's modus operandi from a long-term perspective. He even wholeheartedly believed that the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid, who reappeared after many years, was the same Phantom Thief Kid from before.

Even after studying for so long, he still didn't know why Kaito Kid was so obsessed with the appearance of the full moon, and he was completely unaware of the existence of the Zoo, which had once been an enemy of the first Kaito Kid.

It would be strange if someone with such a brain could capture Kaito Kuroba.

Jiang Hang nodded in response, knowing that Kaito Kuroba was concerned.

“I know you’re worried, so I’ll help you solve these problems. Besides, this isn’t something that can be solved in a day or two. I opened the detective branch in Asahikawa to better investigate the crimes in this city.”

"The full moon just passed this month, and the fact that Kaito Kid has appeared in Hokkaido for two consecutive months makes him a suspect. Let's wait a while longer. During this time, you, Koshimizu, and that Sakurako Kujo can try to find and win over those who are not completely corrupted as helpers."

"By the time of the Spring Festival break, the TV station I recently bought should be almost up to standard, which will make it easier for them to cooperate with our operations."

Chapter 601: The Detective Branch Office is Completed

After discussing a general plan with Kaito Kid, Kaito Kuroba, who had been skipping school for almost a week, left first.

However, he didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to Hakodate again at Jiang Hang's invitation.

After all, there was still a prisoner named Takuzo Onoe who had been painstakingly digging in the mountains of Hakodate for three or four days, waiting for a result.

As Jiang Hang checked on the other party's excavation progress from time to time, the situation of the Axe Jiang family was getting worse and worse.

After all, thanks to Conan's reminder, Sonoko Suzuki realized the current weakness of the Fue family. As the daughter of a capitalist, it would be strange if she didn't take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Now, Takuzo Fue has gone all in, placing all his hopes on the "treasure" left by his ancestors.

If they can find the treasure, then there is still hope for Axe River.

Otherwise, all will be lost.

And in the next few days, this mental torment will finally come to an end—they are finally about to discover the entrance to that "treasure".

It is important to have Kaito Kid arrive at this moment to break Takuzo Onoe's spirits, give the Onoe family a grand funeral, and bring this incident to a complete conclusion.

After Kaito Kid left, the new detective branch was completed in just three or four days thanks to the money. Apart from a slight smell of renovation, the place was ready for normal use.

The NPC staff that the system had assigned to him were already in place.

Although he may seem like an NPC character who would leave little impression after just one meeting, this is a characteristic that a normal "assassin" should have.

As for someone like Jiang Hang, unless he uses disguise techniques to approach his target, his current demeanor is still quite memorable if you interact with him normally.

After all, he has already developed his high-level assassin bloodline to its fullest extent. If he were to improve it any further, he would be on the same level as the Greek demigod Cassandra.
