The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

In truth, he didn't seem to be much safer than the group of kidnappers.

Jiang Hang made all the smoke bombs and tear gas himself, while the hypnotic gas later on was Dr. Agasa's doing.

According to Dr. Agasa, he started making magic props for a magician's assistant more than ten years ago. This hypnotic gas was something he invented for that friend more than ten years ago, and the friend spent a lot of money to buy the recipe for that hypnotic gas.

Jiang Hang didn't care that the hypnotic gas used by Phantom Thief Kid was strikingly similar to the hypnotic gas invented by Professor Agasa in terms of both effect and composition, nor did he ask who Professor Agasa's magician assistant was.

Now that Jiang Hang has gotten his hands on this hypnotic gas, he has further optimized it thanks to his expertise in poisons. It is now more effective and more discreet than the hypnotic gas in the hands of Phantom Thief Kid. Jiang Hang even plans to promote this "new hypnotic gas" to Kid the next time they meet.

Returning to the kidnapping case, Jiang Hang originally planned to use a hypnotic gas to put the two kidnappers to sleep until the police arrived, but one of the kidnappers left the room, causing him to abandon this plan.

Jiang Hang never expected that the kidnapper who left the room would actually hide right under his feet after searching the area.

If this were a game, the opponent would probably be highlighted with a notification, prompting them to use their hidden blade for an aerial assassination.

Jiang Hang originally didn't plan to take action, but the location where the kidnapper was alone was just too "tempting," and even he couldn't resist.

He estimated the height; the warehouse itself wasn't very tall, probably less than ten meters.

With his current physical condition, a ten-meter jump would at most result in a twisted ankle, not to mention the possibility of having a human cushion underneath.

Just as he was preparing to launch an airstrike at the kidnapper, his cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

Fortunately, he usually keeps his phone on silent mode, otherwise the kidnapper below might have discovered it at this moment.

Jiang Hang took out his phone and saw that it was Conan calling him again. He guessed that Conan had figured out the kidnappers' motive.

As expected, as soon as the call connected, Conan gave Jiang Hang no chance to interrupt and went straight to telling him about the murderer's motive.

In response, Jiang Hang didn't listen to a word and instead leaped into the air, giving the kidnapper below a surprise.

Satoshi Miyahara originally thought that his current position was already very well hidden. Under his instructions, those kids would first run around Tokyo for a while before coming to this inconspicuous public phone booth.

Having followed that kid with the cassette tape for so long, those annoyed police officers probably wouldn't have even noticed him hiding in this place.

Just as he was feeling smug about playing the Tokyo police and possibly killing a few more officers, he suddenly felt a slight darkness above his head.

Just as Miyahara Satoshi was about to look up, he felt a powerful impact from above knock him to the ground.

Before he even knew what was happening, another sharp pain shot through the back of his neck. Then, apart from letting out a muffled cry at the beginning, he lost consciousness without making any other sound.

After doing all this, Jiang Hang calmly put away his hidden sword.

He glanced around and saw that the man was indeed in a very secluded place; no one had noticed the commotion he had just made.

It was practically a perfect "assassination".

Don't misunderstand, he didn't kill the man. In fact, in that situation just now, Jiang Hang, who had practiced countless times in the training space, almost instinctively used his hidden blade, but fortunately he managed to control himself in the end.

What he just used was simply the anesthetic needle function that had been loaded onto his hidden blade some time ago.

Compared to Conan's tranquilizer watch, which can only hold one needle at a time, Jiang Hang's hidden blade contains more than ten powerful tranquilizer needles.

Having experienced aerial assassination for the first time in real life, Jiang Hang let out a sigh of relief before speaking to Conan, who was stunned by a cry of pain on the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, I was dealing with the kidnappers and didn't hear what you just said. But I think the kidnappers kidnapped TWO-MIX because there were lyrics in their new song that were unfavorable to them, and they wanted to get the master tape."

Having already obtained the criminal memories of the kidnapper named Miyahara Satoshi, Jiang Hang took advantage of Conan's lack of awareness to reveal the kidnappers' purpose.

"How did you know... wait, you've already found where the kidnappers are?" Conan, who had already been ordered around three or four phone booths by the kidnappers, was shocked again. "How did you find those kidnappers?"

Jiang Hang gave Conan an address and told him to just come over there.

"Recently, I've gained another capable assistant; it's what helped me find the whereabouts of these kidnappers."

"Also, you don't need to notify Inspector Megure and the others. I already called them and told them to come over here. I won't say any more. There's still another kidnapper I haven't dealt with. I'll go take care of that guy first and make sure the hostages are safe before we talk again."

Conan just hung up on him, and Jiang Hang, while Conan was still confused, simply hung up on him.

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Miwako Sato

We've already taken care of one of the kidnappers; dealing with the other one won't be too difficult.

Jiang Hang took off the clothes of the unconscious kidnapper and put them on himself.

After changing his clothes and putting on a wig and fake beard, Jiang Hang didn't bother with disguise techniques against these kidnappers. He simply used the key on Miyahara Satoshi's body to open the warehouse door.

Then he turned to the side, and casually lowered his head to chat with another kidnapper in Miyahara Satoshi's voice, exchanging a few meaningless words.

Despite using such a basic disguise, Jiang Hang's performance completely aroused no suspicion from the other kidnapper, Bao Gui Kelang.

He even quipped, "Make a phone call before you come over," before turning back to check on the two hostages.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Hang launched a "backstabbing" and sent Treasure Turtle Kron to sleep with his older brother.

This time, Jiang Hang did not extract any memories from Bao Gui Kelang. It seems that when group crimes occur, Jiang Hang can only obtain criminal memories from the leaders of the criminal gangs.

It's also possible that if the ability to read skills has a cooldown period, then he can't use it a second time since he just used it once.

Jiang Hang noted this down and planned to conduct experiments on it later. He then spent some time putting the two kidnappers together and trying to wake up the two celebrities.

Just as he was busy waking up the two celebrities, several detectives arrived at the crime scene that Jiang Hang had told Inspector Megure about, looking quite vigilant.

When the first three police officers arrived and saw that drugs were being fed to the members of TWO-MIX, two of the detectives who had never met Jiang Hang immediately mistook him for a kidnapper and pulled out their service pistols.

Fortunately, another female detective with short hair remembered Jiang Hang and quickly told the other two police officers to put down their guns.

After the short-haired policewoman introduced herself to Jiang Hang, Jiang Hang immediately remembered her.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Hang, I am Miwako Sato, a detective from the First Investigative Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. These two are also detectives from the First Investigative Division, Nara and Shibayo."

Miwako Sato is the most popular female police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department. She is also known as the "Flower of the Metropolitan Police Department" and is the object of admiration for many police officers in the department.

When Jiang Hang chatted with Takagi Wataru, Takagi would occasionally mention Sato Miwako's name.

He vaguely remembered that the two of them should have gotten together later on, but now their relationship should still be a purely professional one.

As for why Sato Miwako knew him, Jiang Hang thought it was probably because he would occasionally go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement, and that's probably when he happened to leave an impression. Also, Takagi Wataru might have mentioned him to Sato Miwako.

According to Miwako Sato, the three police officers were investigating another case in the vicinity. After receiving Inspector Megure's call, they happened to be the closest to the location and were the first to rush over to provide support.

However, by the time they arrived, Jiang Hang had already dealt with the two armed kidnappers.

Jiang Hang greeted the other two criminal police officers and casually asked if they needed any help with the case they were in charge of, but they declined after thanking him, citing the confidentiality of the mission.

“I’ve heard Takagi mention your name before, and now it seems you really are amazing. These two seem to have no chance against you at all,” said Miwako Sato, who was currently investigating the two kidnappers.

One kidnapper was simply anesthetized, while the other kidnapper, whose clothes were ripped off, had some bruises on his body. It seemed that he was first tackled by Jiang Hang with great force before being anesthetized. But judging from these bruises and the extent of the kidnapper's injuries, Jiang Hang's strength was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Of course, the police officers didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters. It was already quite amazing that Jiang Hang could do this when facing two armed criminals.

Meanwhile, with Jiang Hang's help, Minami Takayama and Shiina Nagano, who were in a coma, gradually regained consciousness.

After realizing they were out of the kidnappers' clutches, they immediately expressed their gratitude to the police officer and Jiang Hang who had rescued them.

Upon learning that the person who found their trail, dealt with the two armed kidnappers with astonishing speed, and rescued them was none other than the recently popular eagle-eyed detective Jiang Hang, Minami Takayama couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"So Mr. Jiang Hang, you really do keep an eagle as a pet, and this eagle can even help you solve cases. You truly are a 'hawk-eyed detective'."

After learning from Jiang Hang that it was the golden eagle named "Altaïr" that found their hijacked car, which allowed Jiang Hang to locate them, Minami Takayama even thought about writing a song for Altaïr as a token of her gratitude.

Under Jiang Hang's command, Altaïr has now landed on the railing. The golden eagle, which is nearly half a person tall, looks incredibly majestic.

If it were to spread its wings, its maximum wingspan could even exceed two meters, making it a true ruler of the skies.

However, seeing the golden eagle's obedient and docile manner towards Jiang Hang, not only the two members of TWO-MIX, but even the police officers standing nearby seemed somewhat surprised.

"However, why did these kidnappers come to abduct us? They seem to care a lot about our new song. Are they haters of TWO-MIX?" Shiina Nagano seemed a little confused about the identities and intentions of the two kidnappers.

No, no, no, most haters are just loud online. In real life, all the haters in your group combined probably wouldn't be enough to take down these two armed kidnappers.

Jiang Hang mentally complained, then spoke up to remind the two celebrities who had almost been killed because of his new song.

"What inspired your new song? Perhaps a lyric in your song just happened to hit a nerve with these two kidnappers."

After receiving Jiang Hang's hint, Minami Takayama immediately realized: "As for inspiration, this song came about when we were passing by a temple called 'Shoenji' during the New Year. We happened to hear two gunshots coming from next to the temple... Later, I heard that a mentally ill person had committed a shooting there, so after discussing it with Shiina, we decided to write it into the new song... Could it be that the two kidnappers did it for this reason?!"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Jiang Hang looked at Sato Miwako beside him.

“Officer Sato, I think investigating the shooting case that happened at Shoenji earlier this year might clarify the motives of these two kidnappers.”

Chapter 197: Chapter 195: Conan, why are you so slow?

The matter concerning Satoshi Miyahara and Katsuro Hoki is actually not too complicated.

Ten years ago, Satoshi Miyahara, Katsuro Hoki, and another accomplice formed a robbery gang.

From ten to eight years ago, the three men committed several robberies in Japan, accumulating a total of over 500 million yen in stolen money.

Because of their meticulous modus operandi, the Japanese police still don't know who planned those robberies back then.

Then, eight years ago, during their last robbery, an accomplice accidentally shot and killed an official at the scene. To avoid being discovered by the police, the accomplice quickly took a sum of money and left Japan.

As for Miyahara Satoshi and Hoki Katsuro, having already made a considerable amount of money through robbery, they disappeared without a trace after that and stopped committing crimes.

However, eight years later, the accomplice abroad had squandered all the money he had robbed and even returned to Japan to ask Miyahara Satoshi for a larger share of the money.

Of course, Satoshi Miyahara could not accept such conditions. After discussing it with Katsuro Hoki, Satoshi Miyahara simply lured the man out and shot him dead near Shōen-ji Temple.

Then, to create the illusion that the person had accidentally shot himself during an argument by showing signs of gunpowder on his body, he grabbed the other person's hand and shot him on the ground.

By the time the police arrived, the scene had already been completely disguised by the two of them. They had committed numerous robberies in the past without being noticed by the police, and they were professionals in clearing up clues.

When questioned by the police, Satoshi Miyahara stated that he did not know the person and that he was suddenly threatened with a gun by the "mentally ill person" while walking on the street.

He rushed over to snatch the gun from the "mentally ill" man when he was distracted, but the gun accidentally went off and killed him.

Furthermore, Miyahara Satoshi had also hired a skilled lawyer to assist him at the time. With the police unable to find any more evidence, the court ultimately declared Miyahara Satoshi innocent and released him.

But what they didn't expect was that not only did the police not notice, but even Miyahara Satoshi and his team didn't realize that there were other people at Shoenji Temple that night, and that they had heard the two gunshots he fired!

What Miyahara Satoshi didn't expect was that the person was actually a member of an idol group with amazing popularity, and even wrote about it in the lyrics.

After all, according to Miyahara Satoshi's initial statement to the police, the two of them only "fired one shot" during an accidental altercation. However, if Takayama Minami and the others confirm that they heard two gunshots, the case of Shoenji might be brought back into the public eye after the release of her new song.

Even the police officers who initially suspected him might interrogate him again.

To prevent the release of this new song, Satoshi Miyahara secretly broke into TWO-MIX's studio this week and caused some damage. He also sent several threatening letters. However, the two members of TWO-MIX did not realize this and still held the concert as scheduled.

With the release date of his new song fast approaching, Satoshi Miyahara, feeling intensely uneasy, decided to take advantage of the concert to eliminate the two guys and leave Tokyo before the police noticed.

They will probably never forget, even in their dying days, that their meticulously planned annihilation scheme was ruined by the intrusion of a bunch of brats.

Of course, there's one more thing they might never figure out, even in their dying days: how exactly did Jiang Hang find them, given how cautious they had been?
