The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

After all, he sent thousands of Black minions to the lane in the training space last night, so he really needs to relax a bit today.

Sakaki Shizuka and Koharu Yuno, who had come to work, were already used to Jiang Hang's laziness. After making a brief complaint, they turned on the TV to watch the morning news.

"Hey, are TWO-MIX going to hold a concert in Beika Town tomorrow?" After seeing a news report, Shizuka Sakaki muttered to herself with some concern.

"If I had known, I would have booked a concert ticket in advance, but I guess they're all sold out now... I'll check online to see if there are any tickets left."

"TWO-MIX?" Yoshino Kino seemed not to have heard of this group and asked Shizuka Sakaki with some curiosity.

"TWO-MIX is a group that has become popular in recent years. One of the members, Minami Takayama, is a very famous voice actress. When I was taking classes at a voice acting school, I mentioned her name when we were talking about voice actresses who have done well in both the voice acting and singing industries."

As aspiring voice actress who has yet to make her debut, Shizuka Sakaki clearly admires this industry veteran. As she said this, she took out her phone and found a song by TWO-MIX for Yuno Kiharu and played it for her.

Jiang Hang, engrossed in his game, paid little attention to the two girls' discussion.

There are quite a few famous idols and idol groups in this world. Not long after he transmigrated here, he already learned about a popular campus idol project on TV. Jiang Hang even managed to go and listen to a live performance once, without Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu knowing.

Jiang Hang vaguely remembered TWO-MIX, which Shizuka Sakaki mentioned. They sang the opening theme for a new anime this season. However, he wasn't interested in going to a live concert.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Jiang Hang, who was working on a commission, received a call from Conan, and the topic of conversation was precisely about the TWO-MIX.

"Kidnapping?" Jiang Hang asked Conan on the other end of the phone with some surprise, "What happened to you again?"

Conan is really going all out right now. He just solved the library incident, and today he's already encountered a famous idol being kidnapped.

Moreover, according to Conan, the singer named Minami Takayama was kidnapped and put into a car right in front of him by another mysterious man whose face he couldn't see.

Now, Conan has left nothing behind except for the purse that Minami Takayama left on her seat.

"So you're calling now to ask me to help you find someone?" Jiang Hang retorted, then glanced at the eagle circling overhead. "I'm not too far from where you mentioned. Tell me the characteristics of that car, and I'll see if I can find it."

Chapter 193: Chapter 191: The Idol Group Kidnapping Case

After Jiang Hang's assassin bloodline was enhanced, in addition to the ability to acquire criminal memories, he also became more adept at using Eagle Eye.

The most significant change is undoubtedly the ability to share Eagle Vision.

Before his bloodline was strengthened last week, he and Altaïr could only maintain a connection distance of two or three hundred meters.

At that time, the shared Hawkeye was completely useless, since at such a short distance, Altaïr would lose the connection with just a couple of flaps of its wings.

Now, he and Altaïr are able to maintain a stable connection even at distances exceeding one kilometer.

Jiang Hang could even temporarily experiment with overclocking the connection. While ensuring he remained fully focused, he could control Altaïr to conduct searches from several kilometers away using a less stable connection for a short period of time.

Jiang Hang brought Altaïr out today to do a commission, originally intending to use real combat to train the shared Hawkeye technique, but unexpectedly Conan actually pulled off a kidnapping case.

As he drove, he followed the information given by Conan and began searching for vehicles that met the requirements near the venue where TWO-MIX was holding a concert.

At the same time, he was also searching for information about this TWO-MIX on his phone.

TWO-MIX has two members: the lead vocalist is Minami Takayama, a female singer and famous voice actress who was recently kidnapped, and the other is Shiina Nagano, who plays the keyboard. According to Conan, Shiina Nagano was kidnapped by the kidnapper even earlier.

After memorizing the appearances of the two people, Jiang Hang drove further afield to explore.

Jiang Hang didn't bother to think about whether the kidnappers were after money or something else. He figured he'd find out the reason once he found the kidnappers and beat them up.

Thanks to Conan's memorized license plate number and the fact that the kidnappers were driving a black van, Jiang Hang, who had already illuminated the aerial view, finally located the black van after some effort.

It seems the kidnappers were quite professional this time; they knew their kidnapping might attract attention, so they had prepared a replacement vehicle in advance.

The black van was now abandoned in a secluded, deserted alley. It was completely empty, with nothing left inside. Perhaps they had obtained the van illegally, and even the police wouldn't be able to trace it back to them.

For an ordinary person, this would probably be the limit of their investigation.

If the kidnappers had abandoned the car in an underground parking lot, Jiang Hang would probably be powerless to do anything about it. But since the kidnappers abandoned the car here, there are many things he can do.

He had already driven to a spot not far from the vehicle. He controlled Altaïr to land directly around the van, and while activating the shared Eagle Vision, he activated the revealing Eagle Vision again. Instantly, a large number of bright marks were transmitted from Altaïr's eyes to his mind.

He quickly deduced from the heat emanating from the van's hood and the marks left on the ground that the kidnappers had probably been gone for less than three minutes since they left in the new vehicle.

Besides this, Jiang Hang also saw the direction the two kidnappers left in after changing to another car.

In three minutes, in the city nearing rush hour, they had only driven two or three kilometers at most. With Jianghang's excellent visibility, it didn't take much effort to spot a suspicious brown sedan in the distance.

Under the eagle eye's effect, Jiang Hang could see that there were four people in the car. Two of them were lying in the back seat, seemingly drugged, while the other two tall men were sitting in the front seat, making phone calls to someone.

After confirming that the two people lying in the back seat were not in any life-threatening danger, Jiang Hang breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, while having Artel keep tracking the car, he drove towards its location.

Not long after, Conan called again.

Just now, the kidnapper contacted the concert organizers, saying that they kidnapped TWO-MIX not for money, and also asked Conan and the other kids to deliver the purse that Minami Takayama left at the cafe to them. If they refused, they would kill the hostage right now.

"They called specifically to have you kids deliver the purse. It seems their reason for kidnapping TWO-MIX was for what's inside that purse."

Jiang Hang mentally grumbled about why these kidnappers always seemed to like provoking Conan, then asked Conan, "So, did you find any clues in that bag?"

"Besides the wallet and some cosmetics, the only other thing in the purse was the master tape of TWO-MIX's new song for next week's hair styling session," Conan quickly told Jiang Hang about his discovery.

“When we were chatting with Minami Takayama in the coffee shop, she mentioned that there were signs that her front door had been pried open in the past few days. She also received a threatening letter that forbade them from releasing the new song. If the threatening letter was sent by kidnappers, their goal was very likely to obtain the master tape of the new song.”

Although Conan has now realized the problem, he hasn't found the key evidence yet because the kidnappers are in a hurry for them to deliver the bag. After explaining his discovery, Conan added, "Inspector Megure and the others are secretly following us."

"However, I think those kidnappers definitely know that the police are following us, so they're just letting us run around. I think they'll only tell us their real location after they're sure there are no police around."

"I'll call you back after I figure out where those kidnappers are." After saying that, Conan hung up the phone.

Jiang Hang didn't get to say more than a few words until Conan hung up the phone.

He could only mutter to the disconnected phone, "But I've already located the kidnappers."

Although Conan is much more cautious than before, he is still an impatient person.

Thinking of this, ignoring the group of reckless teenagers who would probably be tormented by the two kidnappers for a while, Jiang Hang directly called Inspector Megure, who was currently secretly following Conan.

Chapter 194: Chapter 192: The Kidnapper's Plan

In an old warehouse, kidnappers Satoshi Miyahara and Katsuro Hoki threw the two TWO-MIX members, who were still unconscious, onto the ground.

"I can't believe these two guys actually left the master tape behind. Otherwise, I would have just killed them both." As the mastermind behind this kidnapping, Miyahara Satoshi looked at the two hostages lying on the ground, who probably wouldn't wake up for a while, and cursed fiercely.

They first kidnapped Shiina Nagano, another member of TWO-MIX, on her way to the concert, wanting to find out where the master tape of TWO-MIX's new song to be released next week was.

Upon learning that the master tape had been kept by Minami Takayama, they, who had already decided to kill both members of TWO-MIX to eliminate any future trouble, used Shiina Nagano's phone to send an email to Minami Takayama, asking her to bring the new song master tape to a cafe near the concert venue to meet them.

Because Shiina Nagano was late, Minami Takayama went to the cafe as instructed in the email.

Up to this point, their plan was still perfect.

Unfortunately, no one knew where Takayama Minami had brought a bunch of kids. While chatting with them, they put her purse containing the mother strap aside. They also overlooked this when they were holding Takayama Minami hostage, only noticing that the mother strap was not on her after they tied her up in the car and drove away.

After working hard for most of the day, things went wrong in this place. While in the car, Miyahara Satoshi thought he might as well just kill these two so-called idol stars.

Because of this basic mistake, Miyahara Satoshi, who originally planned to get the master tape, eliminate the two men, and then leave Tokyo, had to temporarily change his plans.

He called the police, using "fetishism" as an excuse, and asked the group of kids who were having snacks with Minami Takayama in the coffee shop to hand over the purse that Minami Takayama had left behind.

Satoshi Miyahara knew the police wouldn't believe him and might even investigate the contents of the bag, but they probably wouldn't realize so quickly that their secret was hidden in the lyrics of the master tape.

Once they can get those brats to deliver the mother tape and then eliminate them, their plan can get back on track.

As for why those little devils were sent to deliver the mother tape, it was because those little devils caused their plan to go wrong, so he took his anger out on them.

Now the task is to figure out how to get those kids with the briefcases to shake off the police following them.

However, this is not a very troublesome matter. All you need to do is let these kids each carry the contents of their bags and then send them to different places.

Satoshi Miyahara pulled out an old phone book from his pocket, which contained not only regular contact numbers but also the phone numbers of public phone booths in various areas of Tokyo.

In an era where smartphones have become ubiquitous, public telephones have gradually disappeared in most countries, but Japan is an exception.

Even now, although hundreds of thousands of public telephones have been removed throughout Japan, the removal rate has slowed down significantly after the number dropped to 200,000. There are still more than 100,000 public telephone booths in Japan.

This is because the country that experiences the most natural disasters such as earthquakes in the world is likely to experience communication disruptions during an earthquake. In such situations, landline telephones are naturally much more reliable than wireless communication.

Even in Japan, there is a specific telecommunications law that stipulates the required number of public telephone booths within a certain area.

"Japanese law really does bring us a lot of convenience," said Satoshi Miyahara with a cold laugh.

Previously, Satoshi Miyahara frequently used these public phones to secretly contact his accomplices, which is why he specifically saved these public phone numbers. He never expected that these numbers would come in handy at this time.

Anyway, they still have plenty of time, so let those kids and the police following behind them run around the various phone booths in Tokyo for a while.

“I’ll go keep an eye on that public phone booth nearby and see if that kid with the cassette tape will attract the police,” Satoshi Miyahara told his accomplice.

“There are four of those kids. Once they split up, even if there are police officers with him, their numbers probably won’t be too many. If there are only one or two police officers, I’ll just find an opportunity to kill them.”

His gaze fell on Minami Takayama and Shiina Nagano again: "If there are too many police officers following that brat, let him go somewhere else first, and then we'll slash these two's faces to warn those police officers."

When Miyahara Satoshi heard that he wanted to take direct action against the police, his accomplice, Hoki Korō, changed his mind slightly. However, they were already in the same boat, and since he was a desperate criminal, he didn't care if he took a few more police officers' lives.

After instructing Hoki Koro to keep a close watch on the two hostages, Miyahara Satoshi secretly left the storeroom and went to the nearby public phone booth.

He has now given orders to the group of kids carrying Minami Takayama's handbag, instructing the four kids to each take a portion of the contents of the handbag and head in different directions. Once he senses they've reached the vicinity of the phone booth, he will gradually guide them in the directions he has just planned.

He also acted indifferent towards the master tape during the phone call, while showing great interest in the handbag, which might have influenced the police officers' judgment.

Next, he only needs to focus on the movements of the kid with the cassette tape.

Of course, Miyahara Satoshi had no idea that while he was already planning to kill a few policemen to retrieve the master tape, there was an exceptionally bold guy hiding among that group of kids.

After hearing the kidnappers threaten them not to let the police follow, Conan took the tape, managed to shake off the police following him, and ran alone towards the location the kidnappers had told him about.

For Conan, the police were too conspicuous, and the kidnappers were clearly armed. If the police followed him, the kidnappers would probably threaten him with the hostages.

Rather than having only one or two "not very combat-effective" police officers following him after the police force has been dispersed, Conan trusts Jiang Hang, whose skills are as elusive as a ghost, more at this moment.

After confirming that the kidnappers would definitely send him, carrying the mother tape, to their hideout, Conan called Jiang Hang.

Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Justice Descends from Heaven

For Jiang Hang, tracking a target that has already been locked on is not a troublesome task.

Moreover, during the tracking process, Jiang Hang could feel that the tacit understanding between himself and Artest was constantly improving.

After witnessing the kidnappers carrying two members of TWO-MIX into an old warehouse, Jiang Hang had Altaïr hover above the warehouse while he parked his car nearby and used a rope gun to climb to the roof of another warehouse to observe.

"Japan's security situation is indeed quite serious. It's one thing that potassium cyanide is so easy for people to get their hands on, but it seems like handguns, these kinds of dangerous items, appear quite frequently as well," Jiang Hang muttered to himself after seeing the guns in the arms of the two kidnappers.

Especially at the distillery, bombs and ammunition were practically given away for free.

While complaining, he took out a smoke grenade, a tear gas grenade, and a sleeping gas grenade from his pocket.
