"To this day, the police we sent out to look for You Chengzhen have not found his whereabouts, so at present, You Chengzhen is the most suspicious of the three of them."

As Inspector Megure said this, he shifted the topic back to Miwako Sato: "No matter who the murderer is, his next target is very likely to be Miwako Sato. We must arrest him before he succeeds!"

Chapter 200: Chapter 198: The Idea of ​​the Electric Hidden Blade

Jiang Hang did not inquire further about the serial killings of police officers from Takagi Wataru, but he was still somewhat concerned about the case.

Since Miwako Sato is considered an important supporting character in the Conan story, Jiang Hang had specifically talked to Conan about the case these past few days, wanting to know if Conan had any connection to it.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, although Conan was aware of the incident, it seemed that it had no connection to Conan at the moment.

On the contrary, Kogoro Mouri received a request from out of town yesterday, so he took Ran and Conan and left Tokyo. They are expected to return in a couple of days.

Jiang Hang silently mourned for the client who had invited Kogoro Mouri.

Since Conan isn't in Tokyo right now, it seems this case has nothing to do with him. After all, although Conan is involved in a large portion of the murders in Tokyo, not all murders are connected to him.

Jiang Hang made this judgment subconsciously.

So he stopped worrying too much about the incident and went to Professor Agasa's house to discuss with him what functions his second hidden blade should have.

After all, as an "assassin," Jiang Hang had used a single-sleeved sword for so long that he would occasionally want to experience the feeling of using a double-sleeved sword.

Furthermore, with the addition of the rope gun function to the hidden blade rewarded by the system, as well as the tranquilizer needle function that Jiang Hang himself added, adding any new functions to the single hidden blade would make it too complicated and inconvenient to operate. Therefore, a second hidden blade is also a necessary choice.

Jiang Hang certainly doesn't have the brilliant minds of Professor Agasa and Shiho Miyano, but with his mastery of advanced hidden blades, he is top-notch in the design, manufacture, and application of hidden blades.

He could quickly assess the general feasibility of the modification ideas proposed by Dr. Agasa.

According to their current idea, some simple long-range attack methods can be added to the second hidden blade. If necessary, in addition to powerful tranquilizer darts, some electric shock devices can also be added to the hidden blade.

"As for the electric shock device, we can just use the personal electric shock device you prepared for your two assistants. But since we're already using electric shock equipment, I'll think about whether we can add the function of launching electric shock bullets. That way, you'll also have a long-range attack method," Dr. Agasa discussed the feasibility of electric shock bullets with Jiang Hang before throwing himself back into his new research.

If Professor Agasa were to actually attach an electric shock bullet to his hidden blade, it would indeed be a formidable weapon. Whether it's a person or a sophisticated electronic device, a single electric shock bullet could render them immobile.

After basically confirming the development direction of the second hidden blade, Jiang Hang went to Shiho Miyano's research lab.

He had been holding the APTX4869 pill that Shiho Miyano had given him for over a week, so Jiang Hang brought a bottle of baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) with him today.

"You mean, this bottle of baijiu contains a special ingredient that can turn that 'famous detective' back to his original form?" Shiho Miyano looked at the ordinary bottle of baijiu that Jiang Hang handed her, her expression slightly peculiar.

If the speaker hadn't been Jiang Hang, who hadn't personally witnessed the power of Lao Bai Gan, she probably would have found it hard to believe that a bottle of sorghum liquor, which costs only a few thousand yen and is something anyone could buy, could actually be the antidote for APTX4869.

Jiang Hang coughed lightly: "Anyway, you can study it first. I'm just providing a possible idea, and it won't take much time to study it."

Seeing Jiang Hang's serious expression, Shiho Miyano assumed that the Pioneer Foundation had actually made some progress on APTX4869, and nodded, indicating that she would analyze the ingredients in the baijiu.

"Did you tell Kudo about this?" She put the baijiu aside. "That guy comes here every two days to ask me about the progress of the antidote's development."

Unlike in the anime, where Shiho Miyano's body has shrunk like Conan's, Conan, knowing that she is in the same situation as him, will not urge her.

However, because Jiang Hang rescued Shiho Miyano in advance, she did not take the A drug and her body shrunk. Therefore, as the only person who took the A drug and shrunk, Conan not only had to urge Shiho Miyano to develop an antidote, but also had to frequently come to the research institute to have his blood drawn by Shiho Miyano for research and examination.

“Let’s talk about it after he gets back to Tokyo,” Jiang Hang shook his head and mentioned to Shiho Miyano that Conan was now out with Kogoro Mouri taking on cases. “With his help, Kogoro Mouri is quite famous now. If he were to suddenly revert to his original form, many people would probably be suspicious.”

"Anyway, Conan has been shrunk for more than two months, and Ran is now maintaining a tacit understanding with him, so there's no need to rush to tell him about this now."

Shiho Miyano was naturally aware of Conan's exploits during the month he shrunk. It was also because the organization hadn't expected that someone who took the A drug would shrink. Otherwise, if the organization had investigated not only the Kudo residence but also the people around Shinichi Kudo, they probably would have noticed something amiss.

"The life of a famous detective is indeed very busy," Shiho Miyano said, then glanced at Jiang Hang. "After the last idol singer kidnapping case, I heard that you helped the police solve another kidnapping case yesterday?"

“It’s just a regular kidnapping case, nothing to talk about,” Jiang Hang said casually, then shifted the topic to the brewery. “Yesterday I also took a look at Tokiwa Eisaku. It seems the brewery is protecting him quite well. He’s been working in the research institute, and there are two snipers protecting him outside. I guess there are even more brewery members lurking inside the research institute.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hang mention Tokiwa Eisaku and the organization, Miyano Shiho's expression changed slightly.

“I think it’s too early for you to investigate him now. The organization will definitely not lower its guard so easily. They might be investigating you like crazy right now. It’s best if you don’t contact those people during this time,” Shiho Miyano said with some concern.

Shiho Miyano has been under the control of the brewery since she was conscious, so the brewery is the biggest shadow hanging over her head. Eisaku Tokiwa is a leading figure in the medical field within the organization, and the organization attaches the highest level of importance to him. She is really worried about what will happen if Jiang Hang goes to investigate and is discovered by the people infiltrated by the organization.

Chapter 201: Chapter 199: Have Conan and Heiji Hattori evolved?

When Jiang Hang's Aura Concealment was only at the beginner level, he didn't have to worry too much about being noticed by others. Now that his Aura Concealment has been upgraded to the intermediate level, he naturally has even less to worry about.

After hearing Shiho Miyano's concerns, Jiang Hang reassured her: "I always do thorough preparation before conducting any investigation. Honestly, even if you stood in front of the brewery members now, they probably wouldn't recognize you."

Of course, Jiang Hang didn't speak too confidently. After all, although Gin couldn't see through Jiang Hang's disguise, Gin was still a man who could recognize Shiho Miyano by a single hair. Perhaps he could even recognize Shiho Miyano now based on his intuition.

Of course, Shiho Miyano wouldn't stop worrying about the organization just because Jiang Hang said a few words.

“Since last week, I’ve had a bad feeling. I even dreamed that an important executive in the organization had started investigating me,” Shiho Miyano said with a hint of unease, recounting the dream she had a few days ago.

She even considered carefully who the organization might send to investigate her at this time.

"Had a nightmare?" Upon hearing Shiho Miyano's words, Jiang Hang carefully examined her face. After activating Eagle Vision, he indeed noticed that Shiho Miyano's mental state seemed to be slightly worse.

Then, naturally, it's time for the "meditation sleep technique" to make its appearance. Once you learn the meditation method, whether it's Takagi Wataru who stays up late dealing with various cases, Koharu Yuno who has developed a psychological trauma from seeing bloody corpses, or Sakaki Shizuka who has to attend an audition the next day, they all get extremely high-quality sleep. Moreover, after using the meditation sleep technique for a month, their mental state is much better than that of ordinary people.

After teaching the meditation and sleep method to Shiho Miyano, who was under increasing pressure, Jiang Hang chatted with her for a few more minutes, telling her not to worry about the winery before returning to his office.

On the second day at noon, Conan and his friends returned to Tokyo.

What surprised Jiang Hang was that Kogoro Mouri actually received a normal job during his trip out of town, and there was no murder involved. After spending a day helping the client resolve the job, they returned.

"So what's with that surprised look on your face? Do you think something bad is bound to happen wherever I go?" Conan said to Jiang Hang, somewhat speechless.

Jiang Hang responded with an affirmative look.

Seeing Jiang Hang's attitude, Conan sighed helplessly: "Okay, this time it almost turned into a disaster, but Heiji Hattori and I discovered the client's son's suicidal tendencies in advance, and then we stopped him together."

Upon hearing that something had actually almost happened, and that Hattori Heiji was involved, Jiang Hang immediately became interested.

The two Grim Reapers, Hattori Heiji and Edogawa, met and surprisingly, no murder occurred. In fact, the two of them even joined forces to prevent someone from committing suicide. How come this plot sounds so fantastical?

Jiang Hang thought about the few cases that Hattori Heiji appeared in that he could vaguely remember, and it seemed that none of the victims committed suicide.

"Heiji Hattori? You've run into him again. So, has he figured out your true identity yet?"

Conan shook his head somewhat uncertainly: "I think he still has some doubts about what you said back then. This time, Uncle Mori was able to get this request because he made the suggestion to the client."

"Moreover, during the process of resolving the case, that guy tested me several times. Although I managed to cover it up each time, he certainly wouldn't believe me so easily."

Conan sighed helplessly. Heaven knows why Hattori Heiji was so concerned about "Kudo Shinichi".

"After all, he's a high school detective on par with you. If he could be fooled by a few words I make up, he'd probably just be a mediocre detective."

Hearing Jiang Hang's words, Conan sighed and stopped thinking about Hattori Heiji.

He briefly explained the commission they had received to Jiang Hang.

Their client this time, Nagato Dozo, is the chairman of a large conglomerate. He initially sought help from Hattori Heiji's father, who then recommended Kogoro Mouri to him, hoping to test Conan.

"Hattori said he originally wanted to invite you over, but he refused because you didn't want to go out."

"The client wanted to find his first love from elementary school, but during our subsequent investigation, we discovered that his first love had died in a fire twenty years ago," Conan said, sounding somewhat wistful.

Jiang Hang listened patiently, because Conan's words meant there would definitely be some kind of twist later on.

The fire that killed the client's first love twenty years ago was actually caused unintentionally by the client's son, Nagato Hideomi, and his son-in-law.

After discovering that the fire had spread, Nagato Hideomi rushed into the house and eventually rescued a little girl named Hinata Sachi from the facade. She was the only daughter of the client's first love.

And afterwards, Nagato Hideomi took great care of the only survivor of the fire.

To repay this kindness, the little girl joined the Nagato Group after growing up and became the secretary of a client. Over the years, she fell in love with Nagato Hideomi, who had saved her, and even took the initiative to propose marriage to him.

However, Nagato Hideomi was never able to forgive himself for the crimes he had committed. After telling his lover about his past crimes, he felt that he could not bring happiness to his lover and thought of suicide.

Of course, Conan and Heiji Hattori eventually discovered the clues and stopped his suicide, thus preventing this tragedy from happening.

"In the end, the client went to persuade Ms. Hinata and her son. I think after this incident, the knot in their hearts should be untied, and maybe we'll hear news of their marriage soon."

After hearing the entire case, Jiang Hang's expression was quite interesting.

Although Jiang Hang didn't have much of an impression of the case at first, when he heard that Nagato Hideomi wrapped his face in bandages after being disfigured, Jiang Hang subconsciously thought of two famous bandaged people who appeared in the early part of the Conan story, and one of them seemed to involve Hattori Heiji.

In the original storyline, Nagato Hideomi should have committed suicide. And according to Conan's description, the client's son-in-law who was involved in the fire with him back then probably also died.

After being thwarted by Jiang Hang several times before, they managed to prevent the tragedy from happening this time, even without Jiang Hang's presence.

The speed at which these two guys are improving is just too frightening!

Seeing Conan seemingly still offering his blessings to the couple, Jiang Hang couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

He had thought that after being a detective for so long, his true abilities, apart from Hawkeye, should have improved considerably. But now it seems that these two darlings of the world are the real bugs!

Chapter 202: Chapter 200: Xiaolan Has Lost Her Memory

Conan, the darling of the world, has already returned home. According to Conan, Kogoro Mouri will be taking them to a wedding reception that evening.

Jiang Hang didn't pay much attention to this, after all, Conan had just prevented a tragedy from happening yesterday, and his death aura probably hadn't cooled down yet.

The next day, it rained heavily in Tokyo. Jiang Hang did not go out to accept any commissions, but instead continued to play mobile games in his own office.

He had thought today would be another peaceful day, but when Conan, soaked to the bone and with a complicated expression, appeared at his office, Jiang Hang knew that something big had probably happened.

Jiang Hang brought over a heater and told Conan to change out of his wet clothes and let them dry. The weather had started to get cooler recently, and after getting soaked in the rain, Conan was likely to catch a cold.

And the news Conan brought this time was indeed quite shocking.

Xiaolan has lost her memory.

When Jiang Hang heard the news, he was completely stunned. He even glanced at the time to make sure that the timeline of this world hadn't suddenly jumped to April Fool's Day.

After confirming that the timeline of this world was still normal, Jiang Hang asked Conan about the specific events that had occurred.

Conan explained in a low voice, and Jiang Hang quickly understood the whole situation.

Last night, Kogoro Mouri attended the wedding reception of the sister of Metropolitan Police Department Inspector Ninzaburo Shiratori, and Miwako Sato was also in attendance.

Jiang Hang knew nothing about this matter. He knew Shiratori Renzaburo, but the two had no dealings with each other and were merely acquaintances. Therefore, he had not been invited to the thank-you banquet last night.

At this thank-you banquet, a significant portion of the guests were police officers. Coupled with the recent shooting of a police officer, the Metropolitan Police Department staff remained on high alert.

However, the murderer had planted a bomb in the hotel's electrical room beforehand.

After blowing up the hotel's electrical room, the perpetrator took advantage of the brief chaos to find Miwako Sato in the bathroom in the darkness and shot her before throwing the pistol at the scene and fleeing.

Fortunately, the assailant's aim was not very good in the dark. Although he hit Sato Miwako, the shot did not hit any vital areas. After being treated at the hospital, she is now out of danger.

Xiaolan happened to be in the bathroom at the time and witnessed everything from behind Sato Miwako. It is likely that the murderer discovered there were other witnesses in the bathroom, which is why he fled the scene without confirming Sato Miwako's condition after firing the shot.

After witnessing the entire process of Sato Miwako being shot by the murderer, Ran also fell into a coma. When she woke up, she had temporarily lost her memory due to the great shock.
