The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Anticipating that the police might arrive at any moment, Tsugawa Hideji wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to get back to his car and leave as soon as possible.

However, for some reason, when he got off the car and had only taken a few steps, his body suddenly felt weak and he seemed to have no strength at all.

When he realized this, his vision seemed to begin to blur.

At this moment, Tsugawa Hideji finally realized that something was wrong. He turned around unsteadily, wanting to question the driver of the 86 about what he had done to him.

In response, the young man simply gave him a light push.

He then collapsed to the ground, completely unable to stand up on his own.

Then, to his astonishment, the young man took out his phone and made a call.

“Inspector Megure, this is Jiang Hang. I found a man in a parking lot near the library who had a large amount of drugs in his car and was about to drive away. I just took him down. Can you send someone over now to take him back to the Metropolitan Police Department?”

Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Just Good Luck

When Inspector Megure arrived and discovered that the person Jiang Hang had caught hiding drugs in the car was none other than Tsugawa Hideji, who had just escaped, the expressions on the faces of the officers turned strange.

Inspector Megure had just contacted the Metropolitan Police Department to issue an arrest warrant for Hideji Tsugawa when Jiang Hang had already caught the criminal for them.

After they found an astonishing amount of drugs in Tsugawa Hideji's car, Tsugawa Hideji's motive for killing Tamada Kazuo became easy to determine—Tamada Kazuo discovered that Tsugawa Hideji was hiding drugs, so Tsugawa Hideji killed Tamada Kazuo.

Even after Tsugawa Hideji was put in the police car, Inspector Megure was still marveling at how timely Jiang Hang's arrival was, saying that he had done him a great favor once again, and that he would invite Jiang Hang out for drinks again after he finished his work.

Jiang Hang had heard Inspector Megure say this several times already. Each time, he would wait until things calmed down before they went out for drinks together. But it seemed that Jiang Hang would have to wait a long time before the First Investigation Division was less busy.

Conan, who had come with Inspector Megure, couldn't help but secretly ask Jiang Hang, "Is this really just a coincidence?"

He really doubted why Jiang Hang would happen to run into Tsugawa Hideji who was preparing to escape, and how he discovered that Tsugawa Hideji's car contained a large amount of drugs.

Jiang Hang, in response, gave Conan a knowing smile.

"Just luck."

Tsugawa Hideji, who was paralyzed by Jiang Hang's gas, has been taken away by the police. Inspector Megure did not ask Jiang Hang how he got the gas that caused Tsugawa Hideji's condition.

After all, Tsugawa Hideji only temporarily lost consciousness and was not actually harmed.

Moreover, in the two months since Inspector Megure met Jiang Hang, Jiang Hang has helped solve many cases, but apart from the Wolf of Beika a few days ago and the dangerous extreme Sherlock Holmes fan even earlier, he has not heard of Jiang Hang taking action against anyone.

In his eyes, Jiang Hang was a law-abiding and helpful detective. It was only natural for him to prepare some necessary self-defense measures in order to guard against retaliation from vicious criminals.

Before Shinichi Kudo disappeared, he would just kick any prisoner who was trying to escape unconscious with a soccer ball. Jiang Hang is much better than Shinichi Kudo back then.

Of course, he was unaware that Jiang Hang had recently knocked out dozens of gangsters with a stick amidst smoke bombs, and that he had just staged an explosion at a pharmaceutical company a few days prior.

Even when Jiang Hang deliberately used paralyzing gas to deal with Tsugawa Hideji, it was actually Jiang Hang testing under what circumstances his ability to rewind criminal memories and psychology could be effective.

After he subdued Tsugawa Hideji with paralyzing gas, the ability had no effect. It was only when he touched Tsugawa Hideji with his own hand that he saw the other's memories.

Currently, it seems that the prisoner must first be subdued by him personally, and his body must also have some contact with the prisoner. As for what kind of prisoner can trigger this ability, it seems that Jiang Hang still needs to continue to study it.

In Tsugawa Hideji's memory fragments, Jiang Hang clearly sees how Tsugawa Hideji, tempted by money, embarked on the path of helping the Mud Ginseng Association transport and sell drugs, and also sees the process of him killing Tamada Kazuo.

Using this memory, Jiang Hang easily found the last batch of drugs that Tsugawa Hideji hadn't had time to move out of the children's library.

Conan doesn't seem to have realized what's happening yet.

"Tamada Kazuo was transferred from the children's library to the historical documents library a week ago. I previously thought that Mr. Tamada was killed by Director Tsugawa because he discovered Director Tsugawa's secret in the historical documents library, which is usually not frequented by many people. I never expected that Director Tsugawa originally transferred Mr. Tamada to hide drugs in the children's library."

As Conan spoke, he seemed to be still pondering how Tamada Kazuo discovered Director Tsugawa's secret, which led to his murder.

Jiang Hang thought about the fragments he had seen in Director Chuan's memory, and then sighed helplessly: "Perhaps it's just that Yutian and Nan worked in the children's library for several years, which caused him to subconsciously go to the wrong library."

Seeing that Conan was still considering a more logical possibility, Jiang Hang reminded him, "In mystery stories, all the characters' actions must be logical, but in reality, some things don't make any sense."

After saying that to Conan, Jiang Hang ignored him.

Let Conan keep obsessing over things. If he really gets stuck in a dead end, at least he has Ran by his side to bring him back.

His assistant and his number one fan are more important in comparison.

In his memory, this seemed to be the first time that Shizuka Sakaki and Midori Imai had witnessed someone else's corpse.

After buying a few bottles of hot coffee from the library's vending machine, Jiang Hang walked over to the two girls who seemed to be lost in thought on the bench outside the library and handed them the two bottles of coffee.

“You did a great job today. You figured out where the killer would hide the body before I even got here.”

Jiang Hang praised the two girls in this way.

Holding the still-warm coffee, Shizuka Sakaki didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"Do you feel uncomfortable, or do you feel nauseous when you see a corpse?" Jiang Hang asked her.

Shizuka Sakaki nodded slightly, then shook her head: "Actually, I was only a little scared at first glance... but over the past two months, I've been mentally prepared for it, so apart from not being used to it, it's actually not too bad..."

She sighed as she said this: "And the curator hid the body in the elevator, and we even rode that elevator today. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

"I feel like I'll never dare to take that elevator in the library again," Midori Imai sighed in agreement.

It seems that the two girls are in a good mood, which puts Jiang Hang at ease. As for the psychological trauma they might have about elevators, they'll be fine in a few days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang smiled and said, "Today's case can be considered the first formal case handled by the famous detective Shizuka Sakaki. After you finish this cup of coffee, let's go. I'll treat you to barbecue tonight to celebrate."

Chapter 189: Chapter 187: Waiting for the arrival of a super chaotic battlefield

That night, after taking the girls home after they finished eating barbecue, Jiang Hang picked up Akemi Miyano at the art museum with the barbecue he had packed and headed to Professor Agasa's house.

After all, neither Akemi Miyano nor Shiho Miyano are suitable to appear in public too much right now.

Akemi Miyano is slightly better off. She is quite talented in disguise, and because of the threat from the liquor company, she values ​​her disguise ability much more than Yoshino Koharu, who doesn't have much pressure.

It can be said that after finishing her work at the art museum, Akemi Miyano spent most of her remaining time in Jiang Hang's office practicing her disguise and voice-changing skills.

With her personal efforts and the system's assistance, Miyano Akemi has almost reached the intermediate level in the skill of disguise in just one month.

Once Miyano Akemi's disguise reaches the intermediate level, as long as she remains careful enough, she won't have to worry about being discovered by the people at the brewery.

Judging from the current situation, if Miyano Akemi can maintain this pace, her disguise skills will reach the intermediate level within ten days at the latest.

However, the situation is not so optimistic for Shiho Miyano.

While Shiho Miyano is an absolute genius in medicine, her talent for disguise doesn't seem to be as outstanding as her sister's.

Perhaps it's because she was only ten years old when she returned from studying abroad, having previously been engrossed in her studies. After returning to Japan, she spent all her time in the research institute researching drugs. As a researcher and scientist, the word "dressing up" was completely dispensable in Shiho Miyano's eighteen years of life.

At the same time, she is now focusing more on researching the properties of drug A and creating an antidote to turn Conan back to his original appearance, so she naturally doesn't devote much energy to disguise.

This has led to Jiang Hang having to visit Professor Agasa's research institute every three or four days to help Miyano Shiki redo her disguise to ensure there are no problems.

"Thank you for going to so much trouble," Miyano Akemi said, looking at Jiang Hang somewhat embarrassedly from the car. "I'm already more than satisfied to be able to leave the organization with my sister. I haven't even thought about celebrating."

Today, while Jiang Hang was having barbecue with Sakaki Shizuka and the others, he thought of Miyano Akemi, who hadn't left the house much in the past month, and Miyano Shiho, who had just been rescued.

To keep a low profile, the two sisters haven't had a proper celebration since leaving the winery. Even their everyday clothes are secretly bought by two girls from the agency at Jiang Hang's request, under the pretext of "practicing disguise."

Now, whenever this matter is mentioned, Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu look at Jiang Hang with a strange expression.

"Ahem, it's just a small celebration. Everything was takeout from the barbecue restaurant. And you probably haven't seen your sister for a few days, right? If you still make her see you only once a month, like back when you were at the distillery, then wouldn't I just become another distillery?"

Jiang Hang told Miyano Akemi not to worry too much about it. At the same time, while driving, he also thought of Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend, Akai Shuichi, who was in the FBI, or more accurately, "Moroboshi Dai" as Miyano Akemi mentioned.

He suggested to Akemi Miyano, "Now that you two sisters have been rescued, if you want, you can go and let 'Moroboshi Dai' know you're safe in a subtle way."

When Jiang Hang asked her to send a message to Moroboshi Dai, Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head.

“I haven’t been in contact with Da Jun for two years. If I hadn’t thought I might die at the hands of the organization, I wouldn’t have sent him that email. I don’t even know if he changed his email address after leaving the organization. Maybe he’s already found a new girlfriend. So let’s just forget about it.”

Although Jiang Hang himself had never been in a relationship in the more than 20 years since he transmigrated, that didn't stop him from watching the drama unfold.

He kept urging Miyano Akemi to contact Akai Shuichi and find out his current relationship status first.

However, Akemi Miyano remained hesitant and unwilling to take the initiative to contact the other party. Even after the car arrived at Professor Agasa's house, Akemi Miyano was still struggling with her decision.

Seeing that he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the gossip for a while, Jiang Hang wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the FBI would probably be coming to Japan soon, and Shuichi Akai was one of them.

He vaguely remembered that Shuichi Akai seemed to have another ex-girlfriend who worked for the FBI. In that case, the FBI, the undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the black liquor company, and the former black liquor company members would form a super shura field... No, it seems that Amuro Tooru from the Japanese Public Security Bureau, who has a love-hate relationship with Shuichi Akai, should also be added.

When that time comes, he'll be able to enjoy the gossip however he wants.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang took the packaged barbecue and went to Professor Agasa's house.

Although these grilled meats have been sitting for a while, the sealing was done quite well, so they still taste delicious now.

While the Miyano sisters were chatting and eating their grilled meat in a refined manner, Jiang Hang and Professor Agasa were not so particular about their food.

Although Jiang Hang had already eaten at the barbecue restaurant, his assassin bloodline not only enhanced his ability to endure hunger but also allowed him to eat a day's worth of food in one sitting when necessary, so Jiang Hang was perfectly fine.

However, the most pitiful one was Professor Agasa. His cholesterol was already high, and after eating a little bit of grilled meat, although he still wanted to continue eating, after Shiho Miyano gave him a casual reminder, he could only silently watch the grilled meat and lick his lips.

It seems that in just a few days, Shiho Miyano has already established her authority in Dr. Agasa's research institute.

After the small barbecue party, Professor Agasa went to clean up the trash with Akemi Miyano, while Jiang Hang, at Shiho Miyano's prompting, followed her into her research lab.

Shiho Miyano's research lab is now taking shape. Although it's impossible to recreate the drug A she made before here, researching the drug A is no problem at all.

Under Jiang Hang's gaze, Shiho Miyano took out a sealed small box from the white coat hanging to the side.

Then she handed the small box to Jiang Hang and said to him in a calm tone, "This is the APTX4869 that I secretly kept for my own use before leaving the research institute. Since I don't need it anymore, I'll give it to you."

Chapter 190: Chapter 188: Shiho Miyano's Doubts

Jiang Hang looked at the box that Shiho Miyano handed him; inside was just a seemingly ordinary capsule.

Jiang Hang couldn't help but mutter to himself: It's because of this capsule that so many people have waited for twenty years without ever seeing the finale.

Even without Eagle Eye, Jiang Hang could tell that Shiho Miyano had an unused A drug on her body.

After all, if he hadn't gone to save Shiho Miyano, she would either have turned into Ai Haibara with that capsule or she would have already died in that research institute.

However, after Shiho Miyano was rescued by Jiang Hang, she did not mention the pill.

Jiang Hang also felt that Shiho Miyano wanted to use that drug for research, so he didn't ask Shiho Miyano about it.

Unexpectedly, Shiho Miyano handed him this medicine today.

After all, he had known Conan and Ai Haibara since he was a child and knew their personalities very well. So in a sense, they could be said to be one of the people Jiang Hang trusted most in the world.

As a homebody, Jiang Hang never liked to doubt those he trusted, so he simply nodded and carefully put the box away.

He felt that he had successfully gained Shiho Miyano's trust through his performance over the past week, which was why she entrusted him with this important capsule.
