The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Jiang Hang never expected that someone as lazy as him would have his own admirers.

Seeing the other person meet his gaze with sincere eyes, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh.

"I understand. I've always had Mu Chun handle the case records. You can ask her for those records to take a look."

He paused for a moment, then continued speaking to Midori Imai: "But to be honest, I'm not the kind of detective you imagine. You'll probably be very disappointed after you see those case records. As for adapting the script, you can decide for yourself after you see those case records, but I don't think many people would like to read such a script anyway."

"Thank you so much!" Imai Midori bowed deeply to Jiang Hang once again.

"By the way, if I have any questions about the details of the case later, may I contact you, Detective?"

"I'll try to email you then. After all, I'm a detective, and I have to handle all sorts of things. My phone is probably on silent most of the time. I'll reply to your email when I see it." Jiang Hang hadn't expected the girl to be so determined, so he could only nod helplessly.

“Then I won’t disturb your rest any longer, Detective. I’ll let you take a look at the script after it’s finished,” Imai Midori said, her expression brightening considerably after receiving Jiang Hang’s approval. “And when that happens, Detective, please remember to tell me about those two stories you just mentioned!”

After saying that, she left the office looking relaxed, seemingly heading to find Yoshino Kiharu to get the case records.

Seeing Imai Midori's expression, Jiang Hang glanced at the location of Koharu Yuno and the others with his eagle eyes and couldn't help but remind his admirer, "They should be at the Oceanarium right now. Just turn left and walk straight out and you'll see them."

Jiang Hang breathed a sigh of relief after Imai Midori left.

He has never been very good at dealing with girls who are exceptionally lively and proactive.

More importantly, Imai Midori exuded an aura of hard work, and when Jiang Hang compared himself to her, he couldn't help but feel that he had indeed become somewhat lazy since returning from Moonshadow Island.

I wonder if the other person would still be so enthusiastic about writing scripts for me if they knew that I was essentially a lazy bum.

Why not just change your case files to the style of Conan?

As Jiang Hang thought this, he also began to ponder the reason why he had become lazy in the past few days. Sure enough, it was because he felt that his life was almost complete after he had earned enough money to buy the firm.

"No, my goal is to get the entire industry to make the animations I want to see. I really need to set myself a smaller goal." Jiang Hang muttered to himself, just as he saw a news report on his phone about the bank robbery that had occurred a few days ago, involving 1 billion yen.

Tokyo is really having a lot of bad luck. Just half a month after the 600 million yen maple leaf gold coin case, another robbery of 1 billion yen has occurred.

Jiang Hang clicked in and took a look. The criminal had been on the run for several days, but had not been caught yet, and there was no clue about the missing 1 billion yen.

Seeing this, he simply set himself a new small goal.

Let's start by earning a billion yen. I think a billion yen should be enough to invest in an animation company, right?

Indeed, humans need to have some hope in order to survive.

However, when he made this small goal, he completely forgot about the main mission that his system had set for him: "to become a great detective."

However, just as Jiang Hang was preparing to continue grinding through all the commissions, he turned on his phone, which had been on silent for a long time, and an email caught his attention.

It was an email from Eri Kisaki.

Speaking of which, after Jiang Hang took over the Mihua Art Museum, he immediately fired those employees with ulterior motives. At the same time, in order to win people over, he also gave a raise to those employees who were willing to stay and who were truly hardworking.

The museum staff had all heard that their new owner had a very powerful background, so they didn't have to worry about the museum being sold again, at least not for the time being. As a result, the museum was still very harmonious.

However, because he had previously dismissed the museum's legal counsel, a lawyer who was not very capable and was also said to have some character issues, he now has to find a reliable legal counsel for his museum.

The position of legal counsel is quite important. For example, three days later, when Jiang Hang goes to discuss the exhibition with Suzuki Shiro, a contract will definitely be signed.

It's not that Suzuki Shiro is trying to sabotage me, but it's always good to be careful when it comes to contracts.

As the industry level of the art museum improves in the future, there will definitely be more and more exhibitions and other commercial activities. Finding a capable lawyer now will save Jiang Hang a lot of trouble in the future.

Eri Kisaki was of course the first choice, but Jiang Hang only thought about it and then gave up. She was the one who helped deal with the business disputes of large conglomerates. It was really wishful thinking to expect her to be the legal advisor for such a small art museum.

However, it seems that Eri Kisaki also knew that he had fired the museum's original lawyer, so she sent Jiang Hang the email that Jiang Hang is seeing now, which introduced him to a junior lawyer that she thought was capable.

Upon seeing the other party's name, Jiang Hang left the art museum almost without hesitation and headed to the other party's office.

Chapter 59: Chihiro Ayasato and Ryuichi Naruhodo

Looking at the sign "Ayari Law Firm" hanging upstairs, Jiang Hang, who had taken a taxi here alone, couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression.

After meeting Yoshino Koharu and Shizuka Sakaki, Jiang Hang knew that if he continued to live in this world, he would likely encounter many more familiar characters.

Jiang Hang has even discovered many other anime characters through various clues, but he has no intention of meeting them now.

What should I say when I meet them? "In my original world, you were my XXth wife?"

It's been almost a month since Jiang Hang transmigrated, and he can already distinguish between the characters in the animation and those in this world.

The characters in those school-themed slice-of-life anime wouldn't encounter any danger, and this positive-energy little detective was also very self-aware, so he didn't disturb the current lives of the characters he liked before he transmigrated.

So now, when he encounters a character he was familiar with before his transmigration, Jiang Hang quickly adapts.

Chihiro Ayasato is the very capable junior lawyer that Eri Kisaki introduced to him. Although she has been in the legal profession for less than five years, she is already a rising star in the legal field and has already owned her own law firm at a young age.

According to Eri Kisaki, Chihiro Ayasato is the most thoughtful junior she has met in recent years, and Jiang Hang will have nothing to worry about if the museum is handled by her.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Ayari Chihiro has not been murdered.

Jiang Hang added this sentence to his mind when he received the email from Fei Yingli.

Because Chihiro Ayasato is also a key character in the classic GBA game "Ace Attorney" that Jiang Hang played before his time travel.

He is truly a "soul" figure.

Because she only survived the tutorial level in the game and the first episode of the anime, and then died right at the beginning of the next level, becoming yet another character who died because of the title "Director".

Back when Jiang Hang was playing the game, he had just passed the tutorial level when he saw this mature and sophisticated woman die tragically in front of him. The shock he felt left an extremely deep impression on Jiang Hang, who was still a newbie at the time.

However, Chihiro Ayasato's death does not mean that she has left the stage. In the games after Ace Attorney, she appears quite frequently, and each time she appears, she provides important hints or clues for the protagonist of the game—not in the form of flashbacks, but truly as a spirit!

Thinking about this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

According to the setting, the world of Ace Attorney contains mystical elements. Chihiro Ayasato is a medium, and her family has the ability to summon the souls of the dead into their bodies.

With this setting, the originally normal world suddenly seems to have become magical.

Jiang Hang thought that the atmosphere on the set, which was originally just a detective and crime-solving style, had suddenly become magical... No, it seems that the Conan set was already quite magical to begin with.

Seemingly recalling some of the incredible feats in Conan movies, Jiang Hang shook his head.

Why think so much? Anyway, now that he's here, it's time for him to go up and meet the other party.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang knocked on the door of the other party's firm.

A moment later, a young man with a distinctive spiky hairstyle came over and opened the door for him.

"Hello, welcome to Ayari Law Firm. May I ask what your request is?"

Looking at the spiky-haired man with a bright smile, Jiang Hang sized him up. Innocent and silly-looking, he was indeed the guy he knew.

Seeing the other person's current state, Jiang Hang patted him on the shoulder and then walked into the firm.

In fact, this agency is much more humane than Eri Kisaki's agency.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a bookshelf overflowing with legal books, while here, Jiang Hang immediately spotted Ayasato Chihiro watering a potted plant.

Looking at the purple magatama pendant hanging around her neck, Jiang Hang habitually used his eagle eyes to observe her.

Under the influence of Eagle Eye, the jade pendant continuously emitted a golden light, informing Jiang Hang that it was an extremely precious object.

"Hello, I'm Chihiro Ayasato. How can I help you?"

Setting the kettle aside, Ayato Chihiro smiled and gestured for Jiang Hang to sit on the sofa next to her.

Jiang Hang then used Eagle Eye to survey the entire house.

No eavesdropping devices were found, but there was a statue of a thinker on Chihiro Ayasato's bookshelf.

I see. Is this the current stage?

She has passed the beginner level, but it will still be some time before she dies unexpectedly.

After confirming the timeline, Jiang Hang felt a little relieved, and then smiled as he handed his business card to Ayato Chihiro.

“You must be the Mr. Jiang Hang that Attorney Fei told me about,” Chihiro Aya formally accepted the business card, glanced at it, and then remembered Jiang Hang’s identity. She nodded at Jiang Hang. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re here to discuss the matter of legal counsel for the art museum?”

She looked at her disciple: "Chengbutang-kun, go and pour Mr. Jiang Hang a cup of tea."

Seemingly noticing that Jiang Hang's gaze was fixed on her disciple, Ayato Chihiro introduced Jiang Hang: "He is my disciple, Naruhodo Ryuichi. Naruhodo is his surname."

In Japanese, the pronunciation of Naruhodo sounds like "So that's how it is," and she seems to have explained it to her clients this way many times, as if they've gotten used to it.

"I see. That's an interesting surname. I think your student will definitely become an excellent lawyer in the future."

Illegal evidence gathering, bluffing, accusing witnesses, and interrogating a parrot—your disciple certainly has a bright future ahead of him.

Thinking about the bizarre things the other party would do in court later, Jiang Hang thought to himself, "That's what I'm complaining about."

“He needs at least three more years of practice; he’s only just begun.” Chihiro Aya smiled and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her face behind her ear.

Compared to the cold and aloof Eri Kisaki, Chihiro Ayasato is much gentler in private, and at least she doesn't put too much pressure on people when she's around her.

"Phoenix-kun, could you also water Charlie-kun a little more?" After Phoenix brought Jiang Hang a cup of tea, he was instructed by Chihiro Aya to water the potted plants next to him.

"Charlie-kun... By the way, Chihiro-sensei, are you really going to give the potted plant in the agency such a weird name?" Naruhodo Ryuichi complained while obediently running over to water the potted plant named "Charlie-kun".

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing." Chihiro Aya smiled apologetically, then looked at Jiang Hang, "Well then, Mr. Jiang, let's get down to business. I have prepared a few proposals regarding the legal matters of the art museum. Please take a look and see which one is more suitable for our future cooperation."

Chapter 60: The Eccentric Boss of the Suzuki Family

Without much effort, after a brief discussion, Chihiro Ayasato officially became the legal counsel for the Beika Art Museum and Pioneer Office.

Jiang Hang had no doubt about Chihiro Ayasato's abilities in this area.

The only problem is that his legal advisor may face a life-threatening situation and die in the coming months.

Jiang Hang didn't know when danger would befall Ayato Chihiro, but now that she had become his legal advisor, Jiang Hang was determined not to let that tragedy happen again.

As a result, the way the two girls at the firm looked at Jiang Hang changed slightly over the past few days.

They naturally knew that Jiang Hang had hired a legal advisor for his firm and art museum, and they had heard that the legal advisor was an absolute beauty.

Although Jiang Hang said he needed to contact the lawyer about work-related matters, wouldn't it be more convenient to communicate over the phone or by email? Why does Jiang Hang have to go to the lawyer's office every day?

Is it possible that Jiang Hang prefers mature, sophisticated women?

The two girls thought about how lazy and nonchalant Jiang Hang usually was in front of them, and then they thought about how extremely proactive he became after meeting Ayato Chihiro. They started gossiping about it.

"Won't that Miss Aya become the boss of our agency in a while?" Of course, they only dared to whisper such gossip when Jiang Hang was not at the agency.

If Jiang Hang knew that these two girls were actually having such thoughts, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.

He didn't mean that at all; he simply wanted to save those he felt shouldn't have died.
