The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

“I understand, it’s all to make the story more engaging,” Jiang Hang said, wiping his forehead.

To be honest, if "Jiang Hang" in the story were replaced with someone else, Jiang Hang would definitely enjoy it. However, since he is the protagonist of the story, he can only feel ashamed.

Observational skills are one thing, but I wish I actually had that kind of amazing reasoning ability. Didn't you see how I was forced to beat up a suspect on Moonshadow Island because of a simple cipher question?

However, Midori Imai also had her own opinion on the Moon Shadow Island incident: "I think Mr. Jiang Hang, you must have solved the mystery of the code on that musical score a long time ago, but you just wanted to cultivate the abilities of Shizuka-senpai and the others."

"Let Shizuka-senpai and the others continue to think independently and find the answer. Then, having solved the mystery, you can go directly to find the suspect from back then, tell him the truth about what happened, and persuade him to turn himself in to the police." Imai Midori was completely absorbed in her own imagination.

"I was worried about whether Shizuka-senpai could adapt to the life of a detective's assistant. I didn't expect that after only a month, Shizuka-senpai and the others are already able to complete some simple cases. I suppose this is inseparable from Mr. Jiang Hang's careful guidance and training. He truly deserves to be called a famous detective!"

"No, I didn't!" Jiang Hang really wanted to say that, but the girl in front of him was looking at him with admiration, so in the end he could only cough a few times and change the subject.

"Ahem, your story is indeed very well written. I have no objections. You can continue writing according to your own ideas. However, you don't need to show it to me anymore. You can communicate with Sakaki and Kiharu." In the end, Jiang Hang could only encourage the other party again.

“I don’t write very fast, so Mr. Jiang Hang, your story has only reached the end of the Moon Shadow Island incident. I didn’t expect that in just half a month, you would have done so much, even stopping the Phantom Thief Kid’s actions!” Speaking of Phantom Thief Kid, Midori Imai also looked like she was bursting with inspiration. She looked at Jiang Hang with enthusiasm, “Do you know that it’s already starting to circulate on the Internet that the strongest opponent Phantom Thief Kid has ever encountered in his career is you.”

Upon hearing the rumors online, Jiang Hang knew that it must be a publicity stunt orchestrated by that old man, Jirokichi Suzuki. However, shouldn't the focus of the rumors be on him and Jirokichi Suzuki facing Kaito Kid together? Why does Midori Imai look like this, which seems quite different from what he expected?

"Those are all rumors on the internet. Actually, besides me, Suzuki Jirokichi also contributed a lot to stopping Phantom Thief Kid. To be precise, it was the two of us who joined forces to stop Phantom Thief Kid. After all, Phantom Thief Kid is no ordinary thief." Based on the principle that praising one's opponent is actually elevating oneself, Jiang Hang expressed extremely high praise for Phantom Thief Kid.

"But there are rumors online that the old man didn't do anything except give money and jewels. He even got drugged by Kaito Kid when he came over, and you were the one who forced Kaito Kid to retreat in the end."

"There are still quite a few people on the internet saying that if it weren't for Suzuki Jirokichi holding you back, you probably would have already caught Kaito Kid... Um, is the rumor about Suzuki Jirokichi true?" Imai Midori seemed particularly curious about the veracity of this rumor.

Jiang Hang was dumbfounded by the rumor. He just wanted to make a fortune quietly, hiding behind the wealthy Suzuki Jirokichi and casually offering some advice. But judging from the current trend, the rumors on the Internet were trying to force him into the spotlight.

Who was the idiot who spread this rumor? In the end, only the security guards who were present at the time probably know about it. Those security guards are all from the Suzuki Group. Could there be a mole within the Suzuki Group?

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He never imagined that he would one day debut in the center position.

Chapter 105: Chapter 104: Let's see who Conan will harm this time!

Jiang Hang never expected that something like this would happen, despite all his careful planning.

If Imai Midori weren't still working at her own agency, he would have called Suzuki Jirokichi to tell him that this isn't how you play the media game.

How can someone spend money to cleanse themselves only to make themselves look worse?

It took Jiang Hang a lot of effort to explain to Imai Midori that Suzuki Jirokichi was not a hindrance; in fact, he was the most important part of the plan to capture Kid. However, Kid was indeed not simple, which is why he was able to escape.

Just like Imai Midori praised him, Jiang Hang is now using the same method to praise Kaito Kid, emphasizing that it's not that Suzuki Jirokichi is incompetent, but that Kaito Kid is too cunning.

"So Phantom Thief Kid is really that amazing... Well, we can't really blame Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi for that," Imai Midori said, somewhat bewildered after Jiang Hang's praise. "But to be able to anticipate Phantom Thief Kid's moves, I'm sure you're his biggest rival, even in his eyes!"

As she said this, her thoughts became clearer: "That's right, a great detective really needs such a powerful and cunning opponent. Mr. Jiang Hang, could you tell me more specifically about your encounter with Phantom Thief Kid? I think this case could definitely be written into a story that will captivate readers!"

As she said this, Midori Imai opened her notebook again. To make her story more engaging, she seemed to have many questions for Jiang Hang.

After barely managing to answer some of Midori Imai's questions, Jiang Hang felt he was about to collapse.

Just as he racked his brains to answer another question, his phone suddenly rang. Jiang Hang breathed a sigh of relief, greeted Imai Midori, and ran to answer the call.

Because the firm was closed this afternoon, Jiang Hang unplugged the firm's phone line during his break to avoid endless phone harassment. Not many people knew his phone number; apart from acquaintances, most of his clients were bosses or wives of large companies or conglomerates.

The person calling him now is the wife of a conglomerate chairman.

Jiang Hang had previously helped the woman find her beloved dog, and this time, she called hoping that Jiang Hang could help her find a necklace that she had lost in the past few days.

This kind of commission was exactly what Jiang Hang was good at, and given that he was already quite overwhelmed dealing with Imai Midori's problem, he readily agreed to the commission.

"I'm sorry, Imai-kun, I just received a last-minute request about me and Kaito Kid. I've already covered most of what I said before. If you have any questions, I'll answer them after I finish this request."

"It's alright, it's my fault for disturbing you," Imai Midori quickly shook her head, then as if she remembered something, she said to Jiang Hang, "Um, if you don't mind, Mr. Jiang Hang, could you take me with you? Come to think of it, I haven't seen how you solve cases in person yet, Mr. Jiang Hang. I think that would be more valuable for my future descriptions."

Therefore, at Imai Midori's own request, she temporarily became Jiang Hang's assistant and accompanied him to the home of the woman who had called Jiang Hang to find out what was going on.

Upon seeing that Jiang Hang had a new, beautiful female assistant after only two weeks apart, the woman's expression became noticeably subtle.

Although Jiang Hang could see the strange look in the lady's eyes, he didn't try to explain. Instead, he asked her directly when and where she lost her necklace.

Since the other party only discovered the necklace was missing in the last two days, the search wasn't too difficult. All we had to do was go to see what modes of transportation she had used and what places she had been to in the past few days, and use Eagle Eye to search for clues.

First, he checked the style of the necklace and then used his eagle eye to look around the other party's house to make sure that the other party's belongings were not left at his house.

Having worked as a detective for so many days, Jiang Hang has encountered many clients who say that their belongings disappeared after they went to a certain place.

When Jiang Hang opened Eagle Eye, he found that the client's belongings were in an inconspicuous place, which he had simply forgotten about.

However, according to Eagle Eye's observation, the necklace that the other party lost was not in their home, and there were no signs of theft in their home.

So, after learning that she had just visited the Mikasa Shrine that morning, Jiang Hang decided to go to that shrine first to see if there were any new clues.

The entire questioning process, from leaving the client's house to leaving, lasted less than fifteen minutes. Imai Midori even felt as if she had simply sat on the sofa, heard Jiang Hang ask a few questions, and then walked around the client's house before Jiang Hang directly led her out to search for the lost item.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, is it alright for you to ask like this? What if her necklace was stolen, or she just accidentally left it at home?"

"Don't worry, I just checked, the necklace isn't at her house," Yuno Kiharu had asked him this question before, and after he answered in this way and found the lost item for the client, Yuno Kiharu never asked the question again.

Imai Midori trusted Jiang Hang a lot, and after hearing Jiang Hang's explanation, she nodded as if she understood but not quite.

I wonder what she'll end up imagining.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the shrine.

The shrine doesn't usually get many visitors, but it was quite lively today.

Jiang Hang used his eagle eye to observe and discovered that a film crew was shooting near the shrine.

To his surprise, he actually saw Conan and his friends on the set!

It seems that Kogoro Mouri is still discussing something with the director, and this looks like it's the job he's been given this time.

This Grim Reaper has come here again to wreak havoc on the film crew.

Knowing full well that wherever Conan goes, people are bound to die, Jiang Hang also took this film crew to heart. He planned to first look for the client's necklace to see if it was lost there, and then meet with Conan to ask about the situation.

Midori Imai was quite curious about the production team, since her future goal was to become a screenwriter. Although she wanted to make animation with her friends, she might have the opportunity to participate in the scriptwriting of TV dramas in the future.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the film crew, as if she wanted to see what kind of TV series they were shooting.

Jiang Hang then began to observe the surrounding area once again.

Finally, his gaze fell on a small grove of trees behind the shrine, and a smile appeared on his face.

I thought this request would take longer, but it was resolved so smoothly.

Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Conan's surroundings are still normal today.

When Jiang Hang found the necklace that the client had lost in the grove behind the shrine, Imai Midori's face was filled with surprise.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, how did you find it?" Imai Midori asked, puzzled, hoping to get an answer from Jiang Hang.

After finding the necklace, Jiang Hang immediately took Imai Midori and left the grove.

After leaving the woods, Jiang Hang rambled on briefly to Imai Midori.

"Observe carefully, and think deeply."

"Why do you think the other person's necklace would have fallen into that grove of trees?" he asked Imai Midori.

As Imai Midori listened to Jiang Hang's words, she looked at the small grove of trees that usually had few visitors and seemed to have thought of something.

"You mean, the client accidentally lost her necklace while meeting someone here... You mean, that lady was 'meeting' someone here?" Midori Imai said the last part about meeting someone very quietly.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang nod, Imai Midori exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Mr. Jiang Hang, you already realized this while communicating with the client?"

“At that time it was just a guess, but after finding my way here, I have a better understanding of what happened,” Jiang Hang wrapped the necklace in a handkerchief and then reminded Imai Midori, “Don’t go around saying things like this, okay?”

At this point, Midori Imai only guesses that the client is having a secret rendezvous with another man here.

However, in Jiang Hang's revelation, there were quite a few signs of battle in this grove. It was under such circumstances that the client probably didn't notice that his necklace had fallen off.

It was precisely because Jiang Hang clearly saw these traces that he quickly left the grove after finding the necklace.

His request was simply to find a necklace; it was best for him to stay away from things that could damage a detective's reputation.

In a few days at most, he could anonymously send the client's husband a colored hat as a subtle hint.

After hearing Jiang Hang's warning, Imai Midori nodded vigorously, indicating that she would never reveal such a thing.

After keeping the matter of the entertainment circle to himself, Imai Midori glanced at the time. From accepting the commission and rushing to the other party's house to Jiang Hang finding the lost necklace, the whole process took less than an hour. With such an astonishing speed, it's no wonder that Jiang Hang can take on four or five commissions a day.

At that moment, Midori Imai thought of Jiang Hang, the character she had created. She had previously felt that although her Jiang Hang was slightly weakened, he shouldn't be too far off from the real Jiang Hang.

But after witnessing Jiang Hang complete such a task with ease, she now felt that the Jiang Hang in her story was not even in the same league as the real Jiang Hang in front of her.

As expected, I still need to keep working hard. Mr. Jiang Hang trusts me so much to write his story, so I can't let him down. I must write something even more wonderful!

As Imai Midori made this decision in her heart, she also looked at Jiang Hang.

"Shall we go and deliver the necklace to the client now?"

Jiang Hang shook his head: "No rush. The necklace has been found now. We can take it over whenever we want. But there are more important things to do right now."

"More important things...?" Imai Midori didn't seem to understand what would be considered important to Jiang Hang.

"Let's go check out the film set. I know someone there; let's say hello first. Maybe your favorite star is there too?"

As Jiang Hang said this, if Conan wasn't here, he wouldn't be interested in the film crew at all, but now that Conan, the Grim Reaper, was here, he was actually a little uneasy.

You should know that when Jiang Hang is with Conan, he often uses Eagle Vision to scan his surroundings to see if a murder case will suddenly occur.

According to the system, Conan is an important character in this world, and can be considered the chosen one. The things that happen around him are all normal phenomena.

It should be said that the world would be in an abnormal situation when murders no longer occur around Conan.

So now he wants to see if Conan's companions are as "normal" as ever today.

Jiang Hang walked with Imai Midori to the vicinity of the film crew. Since filming was in progress, the crew members stopped him.

However, just as Jiang Hang was about to reveal that he knew Kogoro Mouri, another staff member who looked like a stagehand walked up to Jiang Hang with a surprised expression.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, are you also serving as a consultant for our production team?"

Hearing what the other person said, Jiang Hang felt a little strange.

What's this about the consultant? Did I agree to be the consultant for this production team? Why doesn't he remember this at all?

He asked the other party a few questions and learned that the theme of the TV series being filmed by this production team was suspense and thriller. Therefore, a few days ago, the production team, on behalf of the TV station, extended an invitation to Jiang Hang, wanting him to serve as a consultant for the production team and provide some advice from a detective's perspective.

Jiang Hang, on the other hand, thought it was that detective show from the TV station contacting him again, so he had Shizuka Sakaki politely decline the invitation.
