The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

It's easy to imagine that these kids who love to court death wouldn't just give up on the treasure that's already within their grasp.

Just now, through his eagle eyes, he could see that the gangsters were armed. Although Conan and his friends in the anime are definitely safe and sound, in reality, if something unexpected happens, there's no guarantee that these kids will be safe.

Even if there is only a possibility, Jiang Hang felt it was best to nip the danger in the bud.

Of course, he didn't mean to run over and take care of those three gangsters—what a joke! He hadn't received any combat or assassination skills from the system yet. Apart from being physically stronger than a normal person, taking on three armed gangsters by himself was simply a pipe dream.

So Jiang Hang chose the action most befitting his status: he called the police and asked them to handle the matter.

Although the police in this world seem a bit unreliable, the appearances of the three suspicious figures described by Jiang Hang do match those of the remaining three gangsters who are wanted by the police, so the police response time is quite fast.

As darkness fell, Jiang Hang maintained contact with the police while using Eagle Vision to keep a close watch on the three gangsters from a distance.

With Jiang Hang's almost superhuman vision, the police successfully set up an encirclement. When the three gangsters were following Conan and his group through an intersection and were suddenly tackled to the ground by a group of plainclothes police officers, they were still thinking about the carefree life they would enjoy after using those kids to find the gold coins.

At that moment, Jiang Hang was talking to a portly police officer.

In the world of Detective Conan, the one who has now appeared is naturally the famous Inspector Megure.

He was thanking Jiang Hang for calling the police, after all, the gang had stolen 6 million yen worth of maple leaf gold coins. Although the gang leader had been arrested, the gold coins and the gang's three henchmen had not yet been found.

After learning that Jiang Hang was also a detective from a newly established agency, Inspector Megure's attitude towards Jiang Hang improved.

After all, the police in this world... do rely on skilled detectives for help in many areas, and most capable detectives are arrogant and think they can solve everything themselves without considering the feelings of the police.

When faced with detectives, the police basically only come out to clean up the mess after the incident is over, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing for the police system.

Jiang Hang was different. Although he provided the suspect's address, he only assisted throughout the process and did not interfere with the police's actions. After the case was closed, he expressed high praise for the police and did not seek credit at all.

The two only chatted for a while next to the police car, and Inspector Megure had already started calling Jiang Hang "Brother Jiang" with practiced ease.

Jiang Hang was well aware that he would be dealing with Inspector Megure many more times in the future, so he was trying his best to build a good relationship with him now.

After the three gangsters were taken away by the police, he figured Conan should be close to finding the hiding place of the maple leaf coins, so he immediately reported to Inspector Megure that the latter was tracking Conan and his group.

Then, he easily located Conan's position using Hawkeye, and under the pretense that he had deduced it, he got Inspector Megure and a few of his men to follow him to the hiding place of the gold coins.

When Jiang Hang led Inspector Megure to the location where the gold coins were hidden, the expressions on the faces of the Junior Detective League members went from surprise at finding the gold coins to astonishment, then from surprise to disbelief after learning the truth, and finally to pity and disappointment. It was quite amusing to watch.

Seeing the Junior Detective Club staring at him with the eyes of liars, Jiang Hang also seemed somewhat helpless.

After all, in the eyes of children, the treasure they find belongs to them. It's fine for Jiang Hang to want a share as someone who contributed, but calling the police is completely against the rules. Even if they know that Jiang Hang helped them take care of three gangs, these kids don't really appreciate it.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. As a loss to your treasure, how about I take you to eat some delicious eel rice later?"

Upon hearing about the delicious eel rice, Yuan Tai, being a foodie, immediately switched sides. After all, they were just a group of children, and Jiang Hang easily coaxed them into happiness with a few words. In a couple of days, they would forget about the incident.

Conan, on the other hand, seemed rather dejected after learning the whole story from the police.

He had spent an entire afternoon studying the treasure map, but Jiang Hang had only glanced at it briefly before finding the key to it and even brought the police here, only a step behind him.

More importantly, he also discovered the three gangsters following him and easily took them out.

He himself hadn't noticed anything at all, and he realized that if those three gangsters had continued to follow him here, his entire group would probably be in danger.

Thinking about this, Conan couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

When he looked at Jiang Hang again, this man who originally seemed ordinary, he suddenly appeared somewhat unfathomable.

I never expected to run into such a brilliant detective on the street. It seems I was indeed a bit too arrogant before.

Jiang Hang naturally had no idea what Conan was thinking; he simply patted his stomach.

I've been busy all day and haven't even had dinner yet. I need to quickly work with Inspector Megure to prepare the case statement, and then find a good restaurant for a big meal.

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: This is actually a crossover anime/manga site!

"Congratulations, host, on completing your first criminal case. You have taken the most crucial first step on your path to becoming a legendary detective. The initial reward for solving the case has been issued. Please check it."

"Congratulations, host, on solving a three-star case. The reward for solving the case has been issued. We hope that you will continue your efforts and become a legendary detective as soon as possible."

After the police confiscated the large bag of gold coins, a system notification appeared in Jiang Hang's mind.

With two rewards for one case, this system is quite generous in terms of rewards.

Jiang Hang glanced at the reward. In addition to ten million yen, Samsung's reward for solving the case also included a basic combat training qualification. According to the instructions, this qualification allowed him to enter the training room once and learn basic combat skills through training there.

Instead of directly instilling fighting techniques into his head, he has to train for them himself. In terms of convenience, the former is definitely more convenient. However, things that he trains for himself might make him feel more at ease when using them.

Jiang Hang mentally complained about his rigid system, but didn't dwell on it.

Jiang Hang wondered how far this so-called basic fighting skill would go in reality. Considering the combat power in the Conan world, Jiang Hang pessimistically believed that even if he completed the training, he would still be no match for Ran Mouri, after all, she was the kind of person who could smash a concrete telephone pole with one punch.

Jiang Hang, who had just seen a Conan movie, also knew that a powerful figure who could knock away the soccer ball kicked by Conan with his bare hands would appear in the future.

In another movie, Conan's soccer ball could forcibly change the trajectory of a falling satellite. Jiang Hang felt that even if he learned the highest secret technique of the ancient martial arts, "Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel," he might not be able to beat such a powerful person.

But in any case, Jiang Hang finally has some self-defense capabilities.

The initial reward for solving the case, in addition to a reward of 20 million yen, also unlocks a branch ability of Hawkeye.

"Eagle Eye - Reveal (Basic): Once activated, it can perform a comprehensive analysis of objects within a 10-meter radius, and to a certain extent, it can directly uncover the secrets hidden in the surrounding area."

Compared to the original Eagle Eye which only had a reconnaissance function, the new function that has been unlocked this time is more like a detective's puzzle-solving. In the future, if you use Eagle Eye to take a look at a murder scene, you may not be able to find out who the murderer is right away, but at least you can collect all the clues at the crime scene as soon as possible.

"Finally, I have a usable skill..." Jiang Hang muttered to himself. Compared to meditation that allowed him to sleep better and the silent footsteps of an assassin, he finally had an ability that seemed like something a detective should have.

Overall, Jiang Hang gained a lot from this case. The only pity was that, in the end, Yuan Tai still couldn't eat his beloved eel rice.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. Jiang Hang was certainly not unwilling to spend money; this case directly brought him 30 million yen in revenue, which he could afford to treat them to a meal.

However, when the guardians of the Junior Detective Club came to pick them up after being notified by the police, Genta's parents, upon learning that their son was involved in a gang robbery, repeatedly thanked Jiang Hang and took their son home immediately. It seems that the eel rice will have to wait until later.

The parents' actions were perfectly normal, but considering that Genta would face even more cases with the Junior Detective League in the future, Jiang Hang felt a deep sense of sympathy for the parents of these young people.

If your kids were stuck with Conan, they'd probably be entangled in all sorts of cases for the rest of their lives.

After getting the statements from the case, Jiang Hang wanted to invite Inspector Megure to have a big meal together, but unfortunately, Inspector Megure was busy dealing with the case and would probably have to work overtime until late at night. So in the end, Jiang Hang was the only one who wanted to have a big meal.

I really need to find an assistant; it just doesn't feel right to eat a big meal alone.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang also turned on his phone. With money to spare, the agency was as efficient as ever, sending a document over by evening. However, Jiang Hang was still in contact with the police at that time and didn't notice it.

It's also possible that Jiang Hang's requirements were too simple. After all, Jiang Hang only made two requests to the agency: one was that he shouldn't have any bad records, and the other was that he should be good-looking.

As for skills, a front desk assistant doesn't really need any special abilities. Just being able to serve tea and water and greet guests is enough. As long as she's not the kind of foul-mouthed girl who kicks clients out the moment she opens her mouth, that's fine.

Back home, I opened the attached file in the email on my computer. The agency really went all out; this one file was filled with nearly a hundred resumes of all kinds.

Perhaps it was the offer from Jiang Hang that was hard to refuse. It was an assistant position with absolutely no technical requirements, and he could find almost anyone, from graduates of prestigious universities to young girls who had been working in Tokyo since graduating high school.

As he slowly browsed through various resumes, one resume suddenly caught his eye.

"There's actually someone who wants to work part-time with me... They graduated from a voice acting school and want to debut as a voice actor. Before their official debut, they hope to try more different professions to broaden their experience... They even wrote their purpose directly on their resume," Jiang Hang looked at the resume with great interest.

“Sakaki Shizuka...that name sounds a little familiar…” But it wasn’t a particularly unusual name. Looking at the pretty girl on the resume, Jiang Hang didn’t think much of it.

Jiang Hang kept the resume because he found the girl who wanted to become a voice actress interesting. He had absolutely no strange ideas about the voice acting profession, and he definitely did not make this decision because the girl was a beautiful voice actress.

As he continued reading, he set aside one after another flashy resume, until another rather interesting one was placed in front of her.

"Is writing 'wanting to be special' on a resume just to get ridiculed? Let me see... Yoshino Kiharu, college graduate... Apart from that statement and her appearance, she's pretty ordinary... But I'll leave it for now."

Jiang Hang sifted through nearly a hundred resumes, narrowing it down to just five or six people. He sent their information to the agency, indicating that an interview would be held in the next two days to select the final candidate.

The agency responded quickly, probably because Jiang Hang is a VIP customer. Even though it was already 9 p.m., the agency sent an email saying that the interview could be held at their company the next afternoon.

Thinking about the job interview tomorrow, Jiang Hang didn't go out to explore tonight. Instead, after taking a nice shower, he lay in bed and started watching the latest anime series in this world.

After all, it's another world. Although most places are similar to the original world, there are still many changes in the anime series. Some famous works from the previous world have disappeared in this world, but many excellent works have also emerged.

Jiang Hang is now watching a work that didn't exist in his original world. It's about the animation industry, depicting the story of a group of people who love animation and strive in the field. It's somewhat similar to the anime called "Shirobako" from his original world, but the plot is completely different...

As Jiang Hang was comfortably watching anime in bed, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

He got out of bed, turned on his computer again, and pulled out the resumes he had previously browsed, eventually landing on the page with Shizuka Sakaki.

Looking at the photo and content on the other person's resume, Jiang Hang poured himself a glass of water and then fell silent in front of the computer.

After a long while, Jiang Hang suddenly cursed.

"Damn it, what are you, a motivational youth animation, thinking about on the Conan set? Aren't you worried that a murder case might suddenly pop up in your own company? ...Damn system, come out and explain what's going on here. You said it was a detective system, are you going to suddenly change its name to the legendary animation production system?"

After a moment of silence, the system gave a reply.

"Please maintain respect for the system and refrain from using vulgar language. This system has already scanned this world, and it's certain that detective work is the profession closest to the world's origin. Please trust in this system's abilities. However, due to an error during transmigration, you've arrived in a blank world not recorded by the Time and Space Administration. Some discrepancies are normal." (How could this system possibly know so much about your anime stuff? It's already quite an achievement that this system can detect Detective Conan; don't ask this system about anything else!)

"So, this world is still centered around Conan, and the Shirobako storyline is a side story? No, wait, what other weirdos are mixed in with this world? System, you need to explain this to me first so I can be mentally prepared."

"Please explore on your own, host. This system is merely an auxiliary system, providing assistance on your path to becoming a legendary assassin/detective. Beyond that, this system will not interfere with your life or choices." (Your anime/manga stuff is too complicated; this system doesn't understand it. Do whatever you want; don't come asking this system.)

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Yuno Kiharu Wants to Be a Special Person

Jiang Hang initially thought it was just a regular job interview, but after learning that this world might not just be Conan's world, his thoughts underwent some subtle changes.

If this world still had many more anime characters he knew well before he transmigrated...

After all, no matter what, when an anime character appears in front of you and you can witness the plot unfold step by step, there are few people who can resist that feeling.

Detective Conan is undoubtedly a classic anime, and many of its cases are childhood nightmares for Jiang Hang. However, the Conan anime has been running for over twenty years, but the main storyline has only been going on for less than half a year. With all sorts of cases popping up all the time, it's really hard to feel the satisfying sense of witnessing the plot unfold.

Shirobako was a popular anime back in the day, with its exquisite art style and being one of the few anime in the industry that depicted the animation process. Jiang Hang was naturally quite familiar with this work.

At first, he didn't think in that direction, so he didn't recognize the other person immediately. But now that he remembered, Jiang Hang was able to quickly recall the other person's information from his memory.

The story of Shirobako is not complicated; it's about five girls who love anime and pursue their dreams, and their paths in life diverge.

Shizuka Sakaki's dream is to become a voice actress. Her role in the early episodes is not very large, and she mostly fails auditions. Almost the entire anime revolves around her constantly suffering setbacks until she finally makes her debut at the very end, which can be considered a reward for her hard work.

"Hmm... This resume says that the other person just graduated from a voice actor training school and hasn't signed with a formal voice actor agency yet. It seems like there's still a long way to go before the story begins..." Jiang Hang muttered to himself.

He remembered that when he was watching the anime, he had posted comments like "I feel sorry for the red-haired guy" in the live chat. He never imagined that a few years later, he would actually be meeting the other person in person and that he would be interviewing him.

This feeling is truly... quite wonderful.

Jiang Hang, whose mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, finally managed to fall asleep with the help of meditation.

The next day, he got up before the system's alarm clock even went off.

I carefully tidied myself up in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and then repeatedly picked out what to wear to my job interview that afternoon.

Jiang Hang was busy all morning without a break. He felt like he was being interviewed, not interviewing others.

Finally, the appointed time arrived, and Jiang Hang arrived at the agency early, patiently waiting for the interviewees to arrive in a meeting room.
