The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

"Let me, the old driver, give you a ride. The 1 billion yen robbery case... Hirota Masami... it seems like a case I don't really remember, but being the kind person I am, I'll help Conan solve it while I'm at it." Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang started the car engine and chased after Conan in the direction he had left.

Chapter 66: Professor Agasa's Magical Gadgets

It must be said that the things Dr. Agasa invented are quite magical.

Jiang Hang had already complained about the anesthetic needle, which appeared most frequently, when he was a child. As for the bow tie voice changer, it was fine as long as it could perfectly cover up his original voice.

The most magical things are Conan's shoes and this scooter.

Those shoes that enhance leg strength were normal for kicking over criminals in the early stages, and later for kicking down trees and such. Considering Conan's level of strength, it was still acceptable. Later on, they even developed the ability to interfere with the fall trajectory of satellite debris. Heaven knows how such a small thing could have so much power!

As for the scooter, it's just as good as those shoes.

It uses pure solar energy, but can reach a top speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and can even continue to be used for 30 minutes at night by relying on the daytime charging.

If this technology were given to Jiang Hang so he could return to his original world, he felt that he could become the "Father of Energy" in that new era simply by using this technology.

Anyway, let's put these complaints aside for now. Although Conan's amazing gadgets are fantastic, it seems that Conan's luck isn't so good today.

Because it had just rained in the afternoon, the sky was still overcast, and his scooter couldn't operate at full power. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for Jiang Hang to catch up with Conan in a race.

Driving his AE86, Jiang Hang caught up with Conan, who was eager to get on his way, and rolled down his window as if it were a chance encounter, asking him a question.

"Hey Conan, riding a scooter on the main road is very dangerous. If you're in a hurry, how about I take you there?"

Conan never expected to run into Jiang Hang at this time.

After recalling Jiang Hang's talent for finding things, Conan hesitated for only a moment before taking his scooter and getting into Jiang Hang's car.

As soon as he got in the car, Conan quickly used his newly acquired "tracking glasses" to find out the other party's current location and told Jiang Hang.

"Please drive faster, or we'll be too late." Knowing that Ms. Hirota Masami might be in danger or could escape at any moment, Conan stopped pretending to be a child and directly told Jiang Hang about the 1 billion yen robbery.

After listening to Conan's explanation, Jiang Hang finally understood what had happened.

In short, the woman named Masami Hirota may have been involved in planning the recent 1 billion yen robbery, but another criminal responsible for driving the escape got greedy and was able to abscond with the money.

The day after Jiang Hang returned from Moon Shadow Island, the other party contacted the Mouri Detective Agency, asking Mouri Kogoro to help her find "her runaway father," who was actually the criminal who had absconded with the money.

Finally, with Conan's help, Masami Hirota successfully found her "father".

Just two days later, Ran Mouri became worried about their life after their "father and daughter" reunion, so she called to inquire, only to find that the number they were given was no longer in service. That's when they realized something was wrong.

Finally, after finding Inspector Megure and asking him about the situation, they learned that the man had actually been shot dead, and only a lipstick was left at the scene.

After investigation, the police confirmed that the man who was shot was the perpetrator of the 1 billion yen robbery. At the same time, the police also discovered that another perpetrator of the robbery had been killed in the same way.

The police suspect that the murderer is Masami Hirota and are preparing to issue an arrest warrant for her.

However, through some evidence, Conan realized that Masami Hirota might have been deliberately framed.

At this point, Conan remembered that when he first met the other person, he had accidentally planted a "bug" on her. He was in such a hurry to prevent Hirota Masami from being killed or escaping.

As Jiang Hang drove, he glanced at Conan's high-tech glasses out of the corner of his eye.

At this point, Conan seemed to realize his earlier behavior, and also that his glasses didn't seem to be something an ordinary child could pull off.

He then began to feign ignorance.

"Um... actually, I learned it from Shinichi. Brother Jiang Hang, you should know Shinichi, right? And these props of mine, I actually got them from Shinichi's neighbor, a very amazing inventor!"

So, with your personality, it's a miracle you've survived over a thousand episodes without being discovered by the Black Organization.

Of course, it's also possible that Conan, after several incidents, felt he was trustworthy, which is why he told him these things.

In short, Jiang Hang found it quite amusing to watch Conan frantically trying to explain.

Therefore, Jiang Hang did not question Conan's explanation at all, but instead asked about his plans after finding the other party.

"So, you're just a first-grader, and you're going to go find that woman who might be the murderer all by yourself? Even if you find her, what are you going to do? Persuade her to turn herself in?" Jiang Hang casually punched Conan on the head. He actually went there all by himself when even Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri, the two strongmen, weren't around.

But I have to say, the Conan hammer feels pretty good to hold; it's practically a stress reliever.

"You're such a suicidal genius. If I hadn't happened to see it, you would have been running over there to get yourself killed, you know?"

Conan was also quite frustrated. When he thought about this, he didn't feel that there was anything reckless about it. He just thought that this was something he should do as a detective.

It was only after Jiang Hang beat him up that he remembered he had become a child again. Even with Professor Agasa's help, he now had many powerful gadgets, but that couldn't hide the fact that he was still a child.

Therefore, at this time, Conan could only silently endure the "education" from Jiang Hang.

Soon, Jiang Hang brought Conan to the apartment building the other party had mentioned.

According to Conan's explanation, this incident is likely to involve firearms, and Jiang Hang first used Hawkeye to confirm the location mentioned by the other party.

To avoid any unexpected situations, Jiang Hang also took out a specially made small box from his trunk.

His hidden blade, sword staff, and even the various medicines and smoke bombs he had concocted in recent days were all placed here.

Having undergone the inhumane training of the Mind's Eye, as long as he wasn't immediately subjected to machine gun fire, he was unlikely to be hit by ordinary firearms when he was focused.

But in the training space, you can start over if you die. It's not like that in reality. He's not invincible anymore; if he gets shot in the head, he'll die instantly.

It would be the most foolish thing to be careless with firearms just because you are cautious.

Chapter 67: Did I somehow stumble upon the Conan storyline?

Although Conan was somewhat concerned about the small box Jiang Hang was carrying, many detectives also carry some personal items, and he simply assumed it was a tool for solving cases, so he didn't ask any further questions.

According to the tracking device's location, Conan quickly led Jiang Hang to the location where the other party lived.

Being able to pinpoint a specific location on a particular floor, Conan's tracking device seems to be quite a powerful gadget.

Looking at the locked door, Conan instinctively thought of Jiang Hang, who knew how to pick locks.

He looked at Jiang Hang, as if to say that it was Jiang Hang's turn to step in.

However, Jiang Hang glanced around a few times, then took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on. He then found a key under a potted plant by the other party's door.

"..."

Conan felt that his brain seemed to be a little slow to catch up whenever he was with Jiang Hang.

He thought Jiang Hang was going to do that, but the other party's actions were completely different from what he expected.

He used the key to open the door, and then caught Conan, who was about to sneak in to observe.

"The suspect is still in the room. What are you trying to do by going in like this?"

Conan wanted to use the traces left in various places around the other party's house to tell Jiang Hang that the other party was not at home.

However, before he could speak, Jiang Hang covered his mouth.

Conan is really confident; he never considered that the other person's absence might be a disguise.

Of course, Jiang Hang was so certain because, from his eagle-eye perspective, the woman had been hiding in her room the whole time, even holding a miniature pistol.

However, judging from the other party's current secretive behavior, there is indeed a mastermind behind them, otherwise she wouldn't be so cautious.

Jiang Hang took out his sword and staff from the box, ready for battle.

"Ms. Hirota Masami, I know you're hiding in your room. Come out. I'm a detective, not someone here to kill you," Jiang Hang shouted directly into the room.

After a while, to Conan's surprise, Masami Hirota slowly walked out of her room.

She was a very beautiful woman with a gentle appearance and long black hair that reached her waist, but her face carried a faint trace of sadness and helplessness.

Her gaze first fell on Conan, who was being held by Jiang Hang, and then turned to Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang noticed that the other person had a handgun hidden behind their back when they came out, but after realizing it was Jiang Hang and Conan, they put the handgun away.

"You must be the 'Hawk-Eye Detective,' right? I never expected that you would be the first to discover my whereabouts, even before the organization... You truly live up to your reputation." A somewhat helpless smile appeared on Hirota Masami's face.

No, this has nothing to do with me at all; I just wanted to piggyback on Conan's case.

Jiang Hang made a comment, but there was no need to explain at this point.

“It seems the 1 billion yen robbery is indeed related to you, otherwise you wouldn’t be hiding here…” Seeing that the other party had no intention of resisting, Jiang Hang continued to question them, “The organization… besides the two who have already died, who else is in your organization? What is your position in this organization? Did they also plan this robbery?”

Jiang Hang asked quite a few questions, and Hirota Masami hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.

"Robbing the bank was a mission assigned to me by the organization. I planned everything, from recruiting people to carrying out the robbery. I just never expected that they would be silenced by that organization..."

“I’m just a low-level peripheral member in that organization. That organization is extremely dangerous and a very mysterious transnational criminal organization. It has unimaginable power in Japan. If I let you know about that organization, it will put you in danger as well... All I can tell you about that organization is that their representative color is ‘black’.”

Masami Hirota was unwilling to say anything more about the mysterious organization, and instead gave up and stretched out her hands: "You should hand me over to the police, otherwise it will be too late when they come looking for me."

At this moment, she was completely unaware that both Jiang Hang and Conan had a look of shock on their faces.

When Conan heard this from Masami Hirota, the first thing that came to mind was the man in black who had shrunk his body.

Mysterious and powerful, criminal organization, darkness... it all makes sense!

Could it be that the black organization Hirota Masami belongs to is in cahoots with the man in black who caused him to become like this?

But what should he do now?

Conan was caught in a dilemma.

Jiang Hang was also completely bewildered.

Wow, according to the other party's explanation, isn't that black organization the black liquor company? I was just casually taking on a case, how did I suddenly get involved in the main Conan storyline?

To be honest, he doesn't know much about the main storyline of Conan. He basically just watched whatever he saw on TV when he was a kid, and he doesn't really remember this episode.

Jiang Hang had originally planned that if Hirota Masami was part of some kind of bank robbery gang, he would contact his "tool," Takagi, and go along to solve the problem.

After that, those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be sentenced will be sentenced.

After all, Masami Hirota admitted that she was the one who planned and carried out the robbery of 1 billion yen. He wouldn't let a woman go just because she's fairly pretty.

But now that he knows the organization is actually a winery, Jiang Hang has given up on the plan.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Black Organization is full of traitors and undercover agents; their power is truly immense. The kind of operation where helicopters strafed the Tokyo Tower is something that most organizations wouldn't dare to do.

Even if we hand Hirota Masami over to the police, the brewery might find out and dare to steal a police car, kill Hirota Masami, and then leave in style. That's exactly the kind of thing Gin would do.

So, how should he deal with Hirota Masami in front of him now?

Should we simply hand the other party over to the police and leave them be, or should we have a "close encounter" with the distillery?

He glanced at Conan beside him, who was about to burst out laughing. Jiang Hang knew that he absolutely couldn't stop Conan when it came to matters concerning the distillery.

Moreover, a living member of the winery's periphery is certainly more valuable than a dead bank robber.
