The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

No, judging from his assistant's words, did the other party notice the situation inside when they were trying to pry open the lock?

A possibility instantly popped into Conan's little head.

A normal person wouldn't break into a house just because of a rumor.

Jiang Hang, considering the keen sense the other party displayed during the Maple Leaf Gold Coin case, didn't seem like the kind of man who would act impulsively like this.

So is it possible that after Jiang Hang learned about the rumors of the walking armor at the art museum, he obtained some other key information from somewhere, and then deduced that something might happen at the art museum, which is why he came to the art museum to investigate, and even went so far as to break down the door to enter this closed exhibition hall?

However, Jiang Hang was too late in the end and was unable to stop the murder.

If his guess is correct...

Conan looked at Jiang Hang, who seemed perfectly normal.

This was perhaps a man whose style of doing things was completely different from any detective he had ever met before.

Chapter 26: The Uses of Meditation

Jiang Hang had no idea what Conan was making up in his head.

If he knew, he could only say that Conan is really skilled, as his deductions actually have a slight connection to the facts.

However, Conan overestimated him.

He did know that a case would occur here, but it wasn't something he deduced; it was just an impression from before he transmigrated, and he relied on Hawkeye's abilities.

These things, if applied to someone else, could be done to the same or even better degree.

Jiang Hang, however, was now thinking of something else.

"By the way, I heard from across the street that Miss Mori's mother is a very capable lawyer?"

He suddenly remembered that Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki, was a famous lawyer. Having watched so many Conan and Conan movies on and off, Jiang Hang's impression of her was that she was an incredibly awesome elite lawyer. He did indeed have something he wanted to ask her for help with.

"Your mother... she is indeed a lawyer. Mr. Jiang Hang, do you have any legal matters you need to consult your mother about?" Although Xiao Lan was a little concerned about why Jiang Hang would find out about her mother from the street, it wasn't a secret. Her mother was a lawyer and had to deal with all sorts of people.

However, Xiao Lan didn't ask any more questions. After seeing that Jiang Hang really wanted to consult a lawyer, she quickly gave Jiang Hang the work phone number of her mother's law firm.

"This is such a great help, thank you so much. Well then, I have to go to the police station, so I'll take my leave now." Having gotten what he needed, Jiang Hang thanked Ran profusely, and before parting, he gave Conan's head a good rub.

"Conan, next time you have the chance, remember to invite your friends to my office. I haven't treated you to the eel rice I promised you last time."

I have absolutely no interest in eel rice... only that brat Genta would be happy about something like that.

Conan thought to himself with a hint of helplessness, but then he realized that this might also be an opportunity. If he could observe the other person more closely, he might be able to see what kind of person they really were.

It seems I can only rely on Genta and the others, but they'll get to eat the eel rice they've been craving for days, so they probably won't blame me.

With that in mind, Conan decided to add the trip to the Jianghang police station to his recent schedule.

Because he had to go to the police station to give a statement, Jiang Hang's AE86 had to be parked in the art museum's parking lot for the time being. Even if he didn't have to give a statement, Jiang Hang felt that given Koharu Yuno's current state, it would be best not to let her touch the steering wheel.

I bought a bottle of milk and a small bag of bread for Yoshino Kiharu nearby. After all, she probably threw up everything she ate today, and it would probably take several hours to give her a statement. It would be better to let her eat some bread to fill her stomach before dinner.

However, Yoshino really had no appetite right now. After drinking a little milk, she couldn't eat anything else.

"How are you feeling now, Muchun?" Jiang Hang asked, looking at Muchun Yuno holding the milk and appearing somewhat lost in thought.

"It feels... a little strange," Yuno Kiharu answered honestly.

She seemed to recall the scene when she saw the blood-soaked corpse, and a wave of nausea surged up again.

However, she had nothing left to vomit, so she quickly opened the window and breathed in some fresh air, which made her feel much better.

"I'm sorry, this is my first time seeing such a scene, I'm a little uncomfortable."

“That’s normal. After all, you’re a girl, so it’s not surprising that you’re less resistant to this kind of situation,” Jiang Hang said, without saying anything discouraging like “you’ll get used to it after a while.”

He glanced at the police officer driving in front and said, "Takagi, when you first saw a corpse, you probably felt nauseous too, right?"

When Jiang Hang questioned him, the policeman driving in front glanced at Yoshino Kiharu through the rearview mirror.

He is also Wataru Takagi, another police officer who often appears alongside Inspector Megure in the anime, and who later frequently explains cases to Conan in the storyline.

As you watch the later episodes of Detective Conan, even the police officers have gotten used to Conan wandering around crime scenes. They even answer whatever Conan asks, but Kogoro Mouri still acts like he knows nothing, and Conan is still unwilling to reveal his identity to Ran.

After the Conan story was forcibly transformed from a short manga into a long-running series, even the author could only pretend to be oblivious to these lingering issues.

Jiang Hang didn't have a deep impression of Takagi Wataru, but he remembered that this guy started dating a policewoman from the police station later on, so he could be considered a semi-winner in life.

“Even veteran police officers who have been in the force for several years sometimes can’t stand it. We’re not like those forensic scientists who deal with corpses every day. It’s normal to feel nauseous. You’ll get used to it.” Takagi Wataru chuckled and then looked at Kiharu Yuno.

"But girls might have nightmares for the first few days, but they'll be fine after a few days. I warned you before, but I didn't expect you to still go in with them."

Because Jiang Hang had been communicating with the curator at the crime scene and hadn't left, when the police arrived, Yuuko Koharu, worried about Jiang Hang's safety, went into the crime scene with the police, and that's how he ended up like this.

Who could have imagined it would be like that inside... Kiharu Yuno thought helplessly. Moreover, Jiang Hang was alone inside confronting the murderer, and she was also very scared while waiting outside. Her mind kept thinking about what would happen if the murderer also attacked Jiang Hang.

"I feel like I'll never forget what I saw there for the rest of my life..."

"It's okay, I have a method to help you get a good night's sleep. I'll teach you in a bit. Remember to use this method when you go to bed tonight, and you'll usually fall asleep quickly."

Jiang Hang was referring to meditation, which is a basic skill used in games to switch between day and night. Its effects in real life are also quite amazing.

Since mastering the meditation method, Jiang Hang can fall asleep in less than a minute every time he lies in bed and wants to sleep. Moreover, his sleep quality is extremely high, and if maintained over the years, it also has certain health benefits.

It can't compare to Nobita's ability to fall asleep the moment his head hits the pillow, but in reality, it's still a small but amazing skill in everyday life.

After all, everyone needs to sleep. If sleep quality could be guaranteed, many of the world's wealthy people who need sleeping pills to fall asleep would probably be willing to pay a high price for this method.

Although the complete meditation method is quite complex, there is a simplified version, although the effect is much less. It is also simple to practice, making it suitable for teaching to Yuno Kiharu and the others.

"Is there such a magical method? If Mr. Jiang Hang has time, could you teach me?" Before Yoshino Kiharu could speak, Wataru Takagi became interested in what Jiang Hang was talking about.

The Simple Meditation Method isn't some supernatural thing like Ripple Qigong; it's just a way to help with sleep. With a few postures and some special breathing techniques, anyone can try it. Even if you teach it to someone else, it's not a big problem. Takagi Wataru is someone Jiang Hang finds agreeable. He's ridden in Takagi Wataru's car several times when he went to the police station to give statements, and he might need to ride in Takagi Wataru's car often in the future, so it's fine to teach it to him.

"Takagi-kun, have you been sleeping poorly lately?"

"Not really, it's just that sometimes I have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning, and then I have to get up early in the morning to get busy, so I might be a little sleep-deprived."

"Okay, I'll explain it to you in more detail after I finish taking your statements."

Chapter 27: What exactly is anime/manga?

"Host has solved a four-star case. The reward for solving the case has been issued. Please check your account."

After taking their statements, Jiang Hang also taught Yuno Kino and Wataru Takagi a simple meditation method. After enjoying a hearty barbecue at a barbecue restaurant near the police station, he also took the initiative to send Yuno Kino, who still had little appetite, home.

In fact, with the reassurance of him and the police officers, Yoshino's mindset had stabilized a lot, and her lack of appetite was just a minor issue.

The most important thing now is for Yuno Kiharu herself to decide, and Shizuka Sakaki will definitely encounter a similar situation in the future. If they are unable to accept and adapt, then they will have no choice but to leave the agency.

However, Jiang Hang still had a lot of confidence in them. The girls in youth animations were no less mentally capable than the heroines of morning dramas. Even when they encountered setbacks, they could always quickly recover their energy and overcome them to grow.

Maybe when Yoshino wants to sleep tonight, she'll find herself still hungry, and she'll naturally overcome her nausea and start searching for something to eat in her house.

After saying goodnight to Yuno Kiharu, Jiang Hang watched her go upstairs, and then checked the reward for this case.

The previous cases involving 600 million yen worth of maple leaf gold coins and 500 million yen in insurance fraud were rated as three stars. I didn't expect this museum murder case to be rated as four stars. I don't know how the system makes its judgment.

"The star rating of a case does not increase with the amount of money involved. It is determined by a comprehensive evaluation based on the perpetrator's modus operandi, the difficulty of the case, and the overall impact of the case. Please be aware of this, host."

"So, the Maple Leaf Gold Coin case had a significant impact because of the yakuza's robbery of the vault, while the 500 million yen insurance fraud case was the perpetrator's modus operandi?"

Based on the ratings of several cases and engagements this week, Jiang Hang has roughly figured out the general evaluation criteria for cases and engagements.

Those without a ranking system exclude routine tasks such as helping elderly women cross the street or taking children to the hospital.

At someone's request, you help them find lost items. These kinds of requests are generally not very influential or difficult, and are usually classified as one or two stars. The reward for these cases is between two million and ten million yen. Of course, if it involves the theft of Kaito Kid, it would probably be a three-star or higher case.

If it's a request to find someone, it usually starts at two stars. If the other party is someone like a conglomerate heir or a political official, it wouldn't be surprising if it became a five-star request.

If it involves a murder case, then it should start with at least the Samsung case.

In this museum murder case, the director of the museum, Ochiai, used a more sophisticated method of murder than Toyona Abe in creating an alibi. Moreover, the victim was the president of a large company, and the crime scene was a public place like an art museum, which caused a significant social impact. Therefore, it was rated four stars by the system.

However, judging the level based on the method of the crime and the difficulty of solving the case... it really doesn't sound pleasant. It's better not to know these things.

This time, the reward is still a combination of money and skills. So far, cases below three stars have only offered yen rewards, while only cases of three stars and above offer skills rewards.

The monetary reward for a four-star case is 50 million yen, so a five-star case would be worth hundreds of millions of yen.

Jiang Hang had asked the system out of curiosity where the money came from, and the system replied that it was obtained by exploiting loopholes in this world. In more advanced cases, it even involved things like the origin of the world. The system also said that he didn't need to worry about the source of the money at all, as it was definitely all legal and legitimate.

The system can solve problems for Jiang Hang before they even come to him.

After learning this, Jiang Hang realized that although the system was a bit of a trap, it still had a superhuman level of sophistication in this respect.

However, the rigid and outdated system's idea was actually quite simple: This system doesn't know anything about this stuff. All this money was generated directly by the yen generation plugin that came with the anime patch package. It's said that the original template was created by a certain rich system, and then it was modified by the anime-influenced system and directly packaged into the anime patch package.

Thinking about the anime patch package loaded into its system, the Legendary Assassin System felt like crying. It had only wanted to follow the trend of younger systems, but it hadn't expected to actually bring it into this unrecorded anime world.

It has been in the system circle for almost ten epochs, but after this incident, it now has to cram for knowledge about the two-dimensional world, otherwise it won't even be able to understand what its host is thinking.

However, those old-school anime fans on the system forum keep spouting "na na na" all the time, and these past few days, my system has been so engrossed in using "na na na" that it's almost causing a program bug.

More importantly, the things these systems say are just like the things that pop out of their host's head—the host can't understand them at all.

For example, there are things like "Winter Sprite", "Saint Huitian Ha First", and even a whole bunch of "XXX dancing on your fingertips" that leave the Legendary Assassin System completely baffled.

What exactly are these systems talking about? Is Winter Sprite a new Sprite from that world? Aren't saints and such things from those ancient systems? How did they get involved with anime? And that whole string of "you at your fingertips"... never mind, it doesn't dare comment on that, afraid those systems will come from across worlds to beat it up.

Even now, it still doesn't understand what the second dimension is, and can only envy those younger systems who are doing well with their hosts in other second dimension worlds.

Jiang Hang had no idea that his system was on the verge of being driven crazy by the incomprehensible "anime/manga" world. He continued to look at the other rewards besides the Japanese yen.

Poison Mastery (Advanced): After systematic knowledge indoctrination and training in virtual space, you will become a master of poison. Whenever you want, you can use common things around you to concoct poisons that are lethal. At the same time, you will have a more acute judgment and perception in identifying poisons than normal, giving you more choices when selecting poisons for assassination.

Well, Jiang Hang's first advanced skill has appeared. As expected, it's still a standard skill for an assassin. The system is as irresponsible as ever. At least give me a decent description of the skill.

Even if everyone is just slacking off, they should at least do it properly. Is it really appropriate to just write the word "assassination" clearly in the instructions?

But it must be said that this skill is still very useful in many ways.

On a smaller scale, this means that when Jiang Hang wants to cook for himself in the future, he won't have to worry about making any food combinations that are harmful to his health.

Thinking about his work, Jiang Hang will definitely encounter many cases of murder by poison in the future. Although he knows that the most frequently appearing poison in detective dramas, including Conan's, is the legendary "potassium cyanide", if he encounters such a case, he can use this skill in conjunction with Hawkeye to quickly find out where the murderer used what kind of poison, and at the same time avoid the possibility of being accidentally poisoned in the future.

However, to fully master this skill, one must undergo special training in the virtual space provided by the system.

Thinking back to the time he went to train in combat skills and was beaten up by Uncle E all night, although the injuries in the virtual space would not appear in his real body, they still left an indelible shadow on Jiang Hang's innocent and pure heart.

If this is a poison training course, does it mean I'll have to try out one poison after another?
