The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Then he looked at his knees.

He quickly realized that even if he smashed his knees, he probably wouldn't be able to break the sword staff produced by the system, so he gave up on the next steps.

"Jiang Hang-kun... what are you doing?" Mu Chun Yuno looked at Jiang Hang with a strange expression.

"Ahem, I've thought of something. I'll go out and verify it now. You guys continue studying the score here. Contact me immediately if you find anything," Jiang Hang said, and then quickly walked out of the house.

As the legendary assassin Master Kang once said, "Don't go for assassination, go for unparalleled skill. Life doesn't give you that much time to gather clues and stealth."

A certain Grand Assassin never bothered to conceal his identity.

Jiang Hang thought to himself, "My past self was indeed too impure."

Now that he doesn't know the code on the sheet music, he'll go find the person who does. If they refuse to talk, he'll beat them up; if they still refuse, he'll drug them; and if they still don't talk, he'll drug them while beating them up, and he won't stop until they're completely subdued.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang arrived at the residence of Nishiki Ken, whom the old policeman had told him about.

It would be difficult for Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo to charge in and unleash their full power, but it would be a different story for the enemy.

Jiang Hang clearly remembered what the old policeman had said: Xi Mujian had been hiding at home alone for the past two years and refused to go out.

If he can't even handle someone, then what kind of detective (assassin) is he?

With Eagle Eye scanning activated, Jiang Hang quickly confirmed that there was only one person in the residence. At that moment, Nishiki Ken was in his room, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Jiang Hang tried to turn the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside, and even with a key, it couldn't be opened from the outside.

This guy was even more vigilant than Hirata Kazuaki. Jiang Hang searched the house and found that all the windows were locked from the inside. No wonder he had been staying at home for the past two years. However, Jiang Hang was not going to try to sneak in again.

He pressed the doorbell directly.

After a long while, just as Jiang Hang was about to violently break down the door with his sword and staff, Xi Mujian impatiently opened the door a crack.

"Who are you?"

Ken Nishiki is already fifty years old this year. In addition, he has been staying at home for the past two years and has refused to go out. His hair is messy and he has an unpleasant smell.

Jiang Hang noticed that although the other party had opened the door, there was still a security chain hanging on it.

That's quite a cautious guy.

Seeing Nishiki Ken's appearance, Jiang Hang said to him without any politeness, "I know someone wants to kill you. You must have had a hard time hiding at home for the past two years."

"What...what are you talking about? I have absolutely no idea what you mean."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, a hint of panic flashed across Xi Mujian's face, as if he wanted to close the door to his house.

However, this strange guy who suddenly appeared was much stronger than he had imagined. He tried to pull the door with both hands, but the door did not budge.

Seeing the look on Ximu Jian's face, Jiang Hang couldn't help but confirm his guess.

He's feeling guilty.

"Keiji Aso, you should be very familiar with this name, right?" After Jiang Hang said this name, the other party's face turned pale in an instant.

This expression says a lot.

"If you don't want to be killed, let's talk. Of course... it's okay if you don't want to."

Cold sweat began to bead on Nishiki Ken's forehead. After a moment, under Jiang Hang's calm gaze, he chickened out.

Perhaps the fear and anxiety he had endured for the past two years had made him fed up with this kind of life.

He nodded silently, then opened the door for Jiang Hang.

"come in."

Great, I don't need to perform the act of violently breaking down the door myself.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Hang took his sword and staff and went inside.

The house looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Enduring the stench, Jiang Hang frowned and followed Xi Mujian into the living room.

Even at this point, Ken Nishiki's expression was still somewhat abnormal.

After all, with a secret he'd kept hidden for years suddenly exposed by a stranger, how good-looking could he possibly be now?

"Who exactly are you?" Nishiki Ken sized up Jiang Hang from head to toe, seemingly trying to figure out how the other man knew about him.

"Just an ordinary detective, please don't worry about him."

"Detective...?" This answer was somewhat unexpected.

Jiang Hang took out the invitation from "Keiji Aso" from his pocket.

"I came here at his invitation. The self-immolation case of Keiji Aso twelve years ago was indeed carried out by the four of you working together."

Upon seeing Keiji Aso's name on the invitation, Ken Nishiki suddenly stood up.

"It was him...he told you? He really isn't dead!"

If his face was merely pale just now, it was now filled with utter terror!

"Two years ago, on the night of the full moon, he killed Kameyama. Has he returned now?! Is he really coming back to kill us this time?!"

As expected, Ken Nishiki believed that Keiji Aso was still alive and wanted to take revenge on them, which is why he had been hiding at home for the past two years and refused to go out.

However, you were the ones who did it back then. Don't you know whether the other party is dead or not?

But if Nishiki Ken has mental problems, then it will be even easier for him to get information out of him. Thinking of this, Jiang Hang's expression remained unchanged.

"Then please tell me everything that happened back then, and maybe I can help you."

I'll send you to prison to spend the rest of your life, so you won't have to worry about Keiji Aso coming after you for revenge.

Jiang Hang thought to himself.

Chapter 52: From this day forward, I am a Three-Red Assassin.

Jiang Hang patiently waited for Xi Mujian to reveal the truth about what happened back then.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ken Nishiki seemed to still be struggling with something.

"I can't say it, I absolutely can't say it. If I do, I'm finished..."

Clearly, Ken Nishiki was torn between two conflicting thoughts. On one hand, he felt that if he didn't speak out, something bad might happen to him, but on the other hand, he was thinking that if he revealed everything that happened back then, he would be truly doomed.

Jiang Hang watched as Nishiki Ken's expression shifted from fear to struggle, yet he remained unable to make that crucial decision.

Seeing the other party's dawdling manner, Jiang Hang stood up with his sword and staff.

"If you are unwilling to say, then Mr. Nishiki, please take care of yourself on the night of the full moon two days from now."

He wanted to put some pressure on Nishiki Ken; if he kept agonizing over this, he wouldn't have much time to spend with him.

If you're going to say something, hurry up and say it, or I'm about to beat you up.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Kenjiro Nishiki broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Jiang Hang seemed to be about to leave, he felt even more panicked.

"No...no, you can't leave! Stop right there!"

He suddenly shouted loudly at Jiang Hang. When Jiang Hang looked at Xi Mujian, he picked up a fruit knife that hadn't been washed in who knows how long and pointed it at Jiang Hang.

"I can't say it. If I tell anyone, even if Aso doesn't come looking for me, I'm still doomed..." Ken Nishiki muttered to himself, trying to comfort himself, but his expression turned ferocious.

"Tell me, where is Aso now? Tell me, how much more do you know about him!"

Although his hand holding the knife trembled slightly, his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Jiang Hang, as if he would not hesitate to stab him if Jiang Hang showed any sign of escaping.

"You'd better not force me to take action. Hurry up and tell me about Keiji Aso!"

Seeing Nishiki Ken's appearance, Jiang Hang slightly raised the unassuming-looking cane in his hand.

"Put that stick down, or I'll get rough!"

This guy seems to be having real mental problems.

He probably thought he was holding a gun, not a fruit knife no more than twenty centimeters long.

Jiang Hang not only ignored Xi Mujian's words, but also deliberately took a step closer to him.

"I'm quite curious about how you're going to be impolite."

His action made Ximu, who already lacked confidence, even more flustered.

"Don't come any closer! I'm going to do it! I'm really going to do it!"

As Jiang Hang approached, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, yet his body unconsciously retreated.

When he retreated to the end of the house and bumped into the wall behind him, he was so startled that he almost dropped the knife from his hand.

And it was at this very moment that Jiang Hang took action!

He moved close to Nishiki Ken's body, extended his sword staff, and struck him hard on the back of his hand, causing the other man to involuntarily loosen his grip on the fruit knife in pain. Then, Jiang Hang used his other hand to twist his head, and took a big step forward, directly trapping the other man's foot.

With a forceful movement of his hand, he slammed the unbalanced Ken Nishiki to the ground.

Nishiki Ken was completely stunned by the fall. Before he could react, Jiang Hang stepped on his chest, then swung the sword staff around in his hand, flicking out the sharp blade at the bottom of the staff, which then hooked tightly around his neck.

Feeling as if blood had been drawn from his neck, Ken Nishiki was so frightened he almost peed himself.

He was an extremely afraid of death; otherwise, he wouldn't have developed paranoia and stayed in his house, refusing to go out, after learning about the bizarre death of the village chief of Guishan.

Now, when someone stepped directly on his chest and held a gleaming blade to his neck, Ken Nishiki decisively chickened out.

He almost cried and begged Jiang Hang for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

Seeing that Nishiki Ken was terrified, Jiang Hang coldly sheathed his sword and staff, then gestured with his eyes for the other to stand up quickly and explain what happened back then.

After realizing that Jiang Hang was a ruthless person, Xi Mu finally became much more obedient.

He stood up from the ground, trembling, clutching his neck, and stood to the side, his legs shaking as he recounted the events of that year to Jiang Hang.

In fact, Jiang Hang had already found most of the clues, and he had also figured out the culprit and motive of the crime. However, because he failed to decipher the secret in Aso Keiji's musical score, Jiang Hang got stuck in the last step of solving the case.

Now, hearing the truth from the real culprit from back then, he quickly figured out the truth of what happened back then.

Back then, Tsukikage Island was indeed secretly engaged in drug trafficking. This small island, only 20 kilometers from Tokyo but largely unnoticed by outsiders, was simply the perfect transit point.

Keiji Aso was not a member of this drug trafficking gang at the time, but he had knowingly assisted the gang in transporting drugs for a long period of time.

That's how that piano with the hidden compartment came about.

However, one day, Keiji Aso suddenly refused to continue assisting them and parted ways with them. The other four, who had only recently entered the drug industry, were afraid that Aso would reveal the secret in the future. So that night, they locked Aso's family in his house and burned them alive.
