The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

He pointed to a couple of crew members not far away and said to Jiang Hang, "That crew member is getting married next month. Everyone was happy, but then that Anzai Morinao made some sarcastic remarks on the side, and the guy almost got into a fight with him on the spot. It was only with great difficulty that they were stopped."

Jiang Hang looked at the couple Conan had pointed out. Even now, the man still had a hint of indignation on his face, indicating that Anzai Morio had indeed said something he shouldn't have.

It's a miracle that someone so arrogant living on the Conan set has survived to this day.

As Jiang Hang thought this, he also used his eagle eye to scan the grove.

He was initially worried that the two might quarrel over the price.

If that Anzai Morio were to say a few more sarcastic or mocking words to that newly popular star, there might be bloodshed on the spot.

However, when Nachi Shingo saw that photos of his affair had been taken, he immediately panicked and then readily agreed to the blackmail.

Jiang Hang didn't know how much money Zhi Zhenwu had been extorted for, but judging from the way he came out of the grove, it was definitely not a small amount.

Could it be that he was extorted for a large sum of money, so he wanted to kill Anzai Morio?

Jiang Hang made this guess in his heart, but judging from the pretty boy's appearance, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would dare to do such a thing.

However, since nothing happened, after the crew cleaned up the set, Jiang Hang followed the rest of the crew to the dinner party location.

The film crew, having finished a day of filming, booked the entire hotel near the Beika Shrine for a meal.

There's not much to say about this kind of gathering; it's just that there's plenty of beer and barbecue, and a group of underlings take turns toasting the big shots in the middle with their drinks.

With the director's deliberate praise, Kogoro Mouri became the star of the dinner party, now happily raising his glass and drinking with the crew, looking extremely pleased with himself.

In fact, director Taketoshi Gondo wanted to please Jiang Hang, the hidden big shot, more. However, Jiang Hang was not used to such a noisy environment, so he sat in a corner of the room at the beginning, drinking juice and eating barbecue with the underage Ran Mouri and Midori Imai.

Jiang Hang's action clearly indicated that he wanted to keep a low profile. As a director who had been in the entertainment industry for over 50 years, Taketoshi Gondo was also a shrewd person. After guessing Jiang Hang's thoughts, he simply drew the attention of the rest of the crew to Kogoro Mouri.

He planned to wait until everyone was drinking with Kogoro Mouri, then quietly go and chat with Jiang Hang for a few minutes, just to leave a good impression on Jiang Hang.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang was listening to Imai Midori talk about the script knowledge she had learned from a professional screenwriter that afternoon, while also keeping an eye on the situation inside the room.

After extorting a large sum of money in the evening, Anzai Shounan seemed to be in a good mood. However, what Jiang Hang was concerned about was that after drinking a little alcohol, the man went straight back to his room without eating much.

However, during the dinner, some people left for various reasons, and with the atmosphere lively, not many people cared about an unpleasant person leaving.

Conan then secretly nudged Jiang Hang with his elbow and whispered, "That guy left the table. That's not like someone who just made a lot of money should do. I feel something's not right."

If Conan didn't know about the blackmail, he wouldn't care. But since he learned about and confirmed the matter through Jiang Hang, he found it suspicious.

"You want to spy on him?" Jiang Hang was rather curious about what Conan was planning to do.

“I’ve been monitoring him,” Conan said, pointing to his high-tech glasses. “When I saw him leave his seat just now, I felt something was off, so I pretended to go to the bathroom and secretly planted a listening device on him.”

Jiang Hang was shocked by Conan's words.

I never expected that Conan would grow to this level after being humiliated by me a few times. I only had a little suspicion, but Conan directly put a bug on him, as if he was sure that Anzai Morio was going to be in trouble.

If Conan continues to grow like this, how will he ever be able to show off in front of Conan again?

However, at that moment, a woman's departure caught Jiang Hang's attention.

Jiang Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he then asked Conan, "Conan, what you said this afternoon about a couple being mocked by that Anzai Morio? Was the woman from that couple who just walked out the one?"

"Are you talking about Ms. Mamegaki Taeko? She has a really nice personality. This afternoon, after her boyfriend, Mr. Shimazaki, heard that guy's taunts, it was Ms. Mamegaki Taeko and the director who stopped him..." Conan was currently focused on Anzai Morio, so he just nodded at Jiang Hang's words. "Hey, Anzai Morio has also left the hotel now. Do you think we should go after him and see where he's going?"

After hearing Conan's explanation, Jiang Hang had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Although Conan has evolved, he is still a tiny bit behind me.

He nodded to Conan, then told Ran Mouri to take Conan out to buy something, and then left the hotel with Conan.

Chapter 110: Chapter 109: I kicked you away to save you.

Conan had a bugging device monitoring Anzai Morio's movements, while Jiang Hang had Hawkeye, so nothing could escape his eyes.

Now the two of them have once again walked to the vicinity of the shrine.

This was also the first time Conan had seen how Jiang Hang followed someone.

Even though Jiang Hang was right next to him, he couldn't notice that there was someone else beside him unless he looked at Jiang Hang.

Walking on a path without streetlights or other pedestrians, Conan knew there was someone next to him, but could only hear his own footsteps. He even wondered if he had stumbled onto the set of a supernatural movie.

After a while, Conan finally felt that the atmosphere was too strange. Seeing that no one was around, he broke the silence: "Who do you think Anzai Morio is going to meet at the shrine? I think it might be Nachi Shingo."

Conan began to share his understanding with Jiang Hang: "Nachi Shingo was probably extorted for a large sum of money by Anzai Morio during the day, and they agreed to make the deal at this time in the evening. The reason why Nachi Shingo did not come to the hotel with us is probably because he went to raise the money."

After listening to Conan's explanation, Jiang Hang directly asked Conan, "So what do you think we're doing out here now?"

Conan paused for a moment: "Weren't we out here to collect evidence of Anzai Morio's crimes? He must have done a lot of extortion over the years. As long as we can collect the relevant evidence and find witnesses willing to testify, we can send him to prison."

Jiang Hang directly refuted Conan's words: "I don't know if Shingo went to raise money, but I do know that Anzai Morio is probably driving that Mamegaki Taeko to the brink of despair."

"Miss Mamegaki Taeko?" Conan's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised that Jiang Hang would suddenly bring up her name again. "What did you figure out?"

"Miss Mamegaki Taeko's expression was already strange during the dinner party, and I noticed that Anzai Morio gave her a threatening look before leaving the room..." Jiang Hang explained to Conan in a low voice, "In addition, as you just mentioned, Anzai Morio mocked Mamegaki Taeko and her boyfriend for no reason, and Mamegaki Taeko even stopped her boyfriend from arguing with Anzai Morio at the time. I think that perhaps Ms. Mamegaki Taeko has some kind of leverage over Anzai Morio."

At this point, seeing Conan's incredulous expression, Jiang Hang added, "Furthermore, this afternoon when I was at the film set, watching the props team tidy up the props, I saw her secretly put the switchblade that the crew was using into her pocket. When she left, the knife was still on her person."

"You mean, Ms. Mamegaki Taeko wants to kill Anzai Morio?"

Jiang Hang shook his head again: "I don't know what she was thinking, but I don't know if you remember, during filming, Yoko Okino used two different prop knives. One was a real knife to make the close-ups more realistic, and the other was a fake knife that would automatically retract after stabbing someone."

“It’s possible that Mamegaki Taeko really wanted to kill Anzai Morio and used a real knife, or it’s possible that she just wanted to scare him and used a fake knife, or there’s something else going on. But whatever the case, we have to prevent the worst from happening,” Jiang Hang paused for a moment, “Mamegaki Taeko killed Anzai Morio, or Anzai Morio stole Mamegaki Taeko’s knife and then killed her.”

After hearing Jiang Hang's words, Conan's mouth was slightly agape. Although he had found it unbelievable just now, he was now convinced by Jiang Hang's explanation.

"These are all things you observed on the film set. How are your eyes so sharp? Why didn't I notice any of these things even though I was right next to you?"

He blankly asked Jiang Hang the question.

"Now is not the time to dwell on this. Use your bugging device to listen carefully to what's happening over there," Jiang Hang interrupted Conan, telling him to listen carefully to what was happening through the bugging device. From his eagle-eye perspective, Mamegaki Taeko had already arrived at the shrine and met with Anzai Morio.

Soon, Anzai Morio's voice came from the other end of the bugging device.

"You're a bit late, Douyuan. Did you bring the money I asked you to bring?"

Conan listened carefully to the other person's voice, while Jiang Hang, carrying Conan, quietly approached the location where Anzai Morio and Mamegaki Taeko were talking. If anything happened, he could stop them immediately.

At that moment, Mamegaki Taeko also took out the switchblade she had retrieved from the film crew and pointed it at Anzai Morio.

"I've thought it through. Ever since that incident, I've been blackmailed by you. I can't let this happen again. You...you must never appear in front of me again!" Mamegaki Taeko held a switchblade in her hand, but her tone was somewhat weak and lacked any force.

Upon hearing about Mamegaki Taeko's situation, Anzai Morio couldn't help but show a mocking expression: "And then what? You think I'd be scared just because you have a knife in your hand?"

"Let me tell you, if you don't give me the money today, I'll tell your fiancé about the crimes you committed back then!"

After saying that, he took advantage of Mamegaki Taeko's momentary distraction and pounced on her, seemingly trying to snatch the knife from her hand!

Just as a look of panic appeared on Taeko Mamegaki's face, as if she didn't know what to do—

Jiang Hang emerged directly from the darkness, rushing towards the two at an astonishing speed, and then delivered a righteous flying kick, striking Anzai Morio in the shoulder!

His flying kick knocked Anzai Morio down, and he rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

Even after Jiang Hang finished doing all this, Mameyuki Miko was still in a state of panic.

She suddenly felt a lightness in her hand, and before she knew it, the switchblade she had been holding tightly was in Jiang Hang's hand.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang muttered to himself, "Although this is my first time using the Knight Kick, the movements should be fine, right..."

After muttering to himself, Jiang Hang looked at Anzai Morio, who was lying on the ground, clutching his shoulders and wailing.

It shouldn't be a fracture yet; at most, it's a bone crack or dislocation.

His control over the force was still excellent this time.

"I'm sorry, I saw you running straight into someone's knife and I was worried you would be in mortal danger. In that moment of desperation, I had no choice but to do this to save you. Mr. Anzai, you won't blame me, will you?"

Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Preventing the Tragedy

After Jiang Hang kicked Anzai Morio away, Conan also ran out.

When he saw Mamegaki Taeko take out the switchblade, he almost couldn't resist using a tranquilizer dart on her.

However, Anzai Morio's sudden act of grabbing the knife startled him, but fortunately Jiang Hang stopped him in time.

Conan glanced at Anzai Morio, who was sprawled on the ground. Judging from his current state of groaning with his mouth open and eyes closed, he would probably have to stay on the ground for a while longer.

Conan then turned his attention to Mamegaki Taeko.

"Miss Mamegaki...do you have some important information that Anzai Morio has in his hands?" Conan's gaze was somewhat complicated. He was already certain that the switchblade in Jiang Hang's hand was real.

Perhaps Mamegaki Taeko only wanted to use it to scare the other party, but it is also possible that she came with the intention of killing Anzai Morio.

Upon hearing Conan's question, Mamegaki Taeko seemed to recall the things she had hidden all these years. She covered her face with her hands and knelt down on the ground, sobbing.

At this moment, Anzai Morio's continuous screams finally attracted the attention of other passersby.

When the person got closer, Jiang Hang recognized their identity.

Yuji Shimazaki is a production crew member and also Taeko Mamegaki's fiancé.

According to Conan, the two of them were originally scheduled to get married next month.

When he saw his fiancée kneeling on the ground sobbing, and Anzai Morio lying on the ground wailing, he quickly ran to Mamegaki Taeko's side.

"Myoko, what happened?" He squatted down anxiously and asked his fiancée.

He also looked at Jiang Hang and Conan, wanting to figure out what had happened.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, what's wrong with Miao Zi? I noticed she wasn't in a good mood tonight, so I thought I'd come and see what happened?"

Jiang Hang shrugged: "We came out to buy something, and when we passed by here, we saw Miss Douyuan and Anzai Morio arguing. I saw that they were both drawing knives, and I was worried that they might be in danger, so I kicked him. As for what happened, I guess Miss Douyuan was blackmailed by him."

"Extortion?" Shimazaki Yuji looked at his fiancée with some surprise, then glared fiercely at Anzai Morio lying on the ground. "Hey, Anzai, you bastard, what did you do to Taeko!"

Judging from his current appearance, it seems he's preparing to go over and kick Anzai Morio a few more times before he'll be satisfied.

However, just as he stood up, he was stopped by Mamegaki Taeko.

It seems that her mental state has improved a lot because her boyfriend is by her side.

Under the watchful eyes of her boyfriend and Jiang Hang, she slowly began to recount her story.

Taeko Mamegaki's grandfather was a priest at the Beika Shrine, and ten years ago she and Morio Anzai were high school classmates.

However, because Taeko Mamegaki's parents died in an accident when she was in high school, and her grandfather was old and had to manage the shrine, she started hanging out with a group of friends during her rebellious phase, including Anzai Morio.

At that time, the Mihara Shrine was embroiled in a case where precious ritual items were stolen, and the police have yet to identify the culprit.
