The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

What is a win-win situation? This is a win-win situation!

Chapter 85: Chapter 84: A Request from the Yakuza

Conan was lectured by Jiang Hang to always be cautious and not to do anything reckless, and in the end, he vaguely agreed to what Jiang Hang said.

He never actually thought Jiang Hang was trying to take advantage of him.

In his eyes, Jiang Hang's reasoning ability was no worse than his own, and if he could solve a case, the other party probably wouldn't have any problems either.

Moreover, Jiang Hang is neither short of fame nor money, and Conan believes that Jiang Hang is only saying this to protect himself and the Mori family.

But why does he feel like something's off right now?

Seeing that Conan was completely unaware that he was about to become his personal crime-solving tool, Jiang Hang nodded in satisfaction.

After giving Conan his usual "careful education," Jiang Hang prepared to send him back to the Mouri Detective Agency.

As Jiang Hang was getting ready to leave, he also asked Shizuka Sakaki if she had received any suitable cases at her agency today. If she did, he thought it would be nice to take care of a few cases while he was taking Conan home.

After hearing Jiang Hang's words, Shizuka Sakaki came over with her notebook.

These past few days, Jiang Hang has been busy with something outside. The day before yesterday, he even suddenly called them and told them to close the firm immediately and protect themselves. This made them think that Jiang Hang might be involved in some kind of danger. Although Jiang Hang called them not long after to tell them that it was just a false alarm, the firm has accumulated a lot of things that they haven't been able to deal with these past few days.

She briefly told Jiang Hang about the requests she had just received in the past two days, but had not yet given a specific response to. These were all ordinary requests to find people or lost items; she had already excluded requests to investigate infidelity or collect evidence.

"I found a wonton shop that closed down decades ago for my client. They want to have a bowl of wontons there one last time?" Jiang Hang looked through the list of commissions from highest to lowest, and to his surprise, this was the top-ranked commission. The client was willing to pay two million yen, or even more.

He looked at Conan beside him: "Can you deduce this kind of request?"

Conan rolled his eyes at Jiang Hang, thinking, "How can you deduce something like this? He's a detective, not God."

Jiang Hang wasn't very interested in commissions that required constant visits and investigations and took up a lot of time. Although several million yen seemed like a lot, upon closer inspection, it was really only on par with helping an old lady cross the street.

He was about to have Shizuka Sakaki politely decline the request, but then he suddenly thought that this kind of tedious request that required constant investigation was a good opportunity to hone Yoshino Kimura's intelligence and investigation skills.

He then looked at Yuno Kiharu and said, "Kiharu, what do you think of this request? If you think it's okay, then I'll put you in charge."

"Huh? Let me do this...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Koharu Yuno, who was dozing off while reading a mystery novel on the table, paused, then became somewhat nervous. "What if I fail to complete the client's request?"

Jiang Hang continued to urge Mu Chunyuno: "You've been running around with me on quite a few cases these past few days. This case is a bit difficult, but it's not actually complicated. Just find out about the situation at that wonton shop back then, and then take the press pass I got for you before and ask the old people around there. I've already taught you all of this."

After a pause, Jiang Hang said to the two girls together, "Anyway, if you don't have anything else to do, you can go investigate together. I'll give you some investigation funds later. If you can complete this mission, the entire reward will be yours."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, the two girls' eyes widened in surprise.

Two million yen was nothing to Jiang Hang, but it was a significant sum for two young women who had just entered the workforce.

Sakagi Shizuka hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Jiang Hang's ear and whispered a few words about the client.

Jiang Hang then realized what Shizuka Sakaki was worried about.

It turns out that the client was from a yakuza organization, and it just so happened to be the same organization called "Takashiro Group" that Jiang Hang had paid "fees" to through an intermediary. The client was a minor leader of the Takashiro Group.

Because Jiang Hang had already established the firm's reputation, the Gao Cheng group knew that Jiang Hang had a good relationship with the police, so they were quite polite when the other party came to commission them.

If Jiang Hang completes the other party's request, that's fine. But if he accepts the request but fails to complete it, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Hang decided to hand over the commission to Muchun Yuno and the others for investigation.

"Two days. If you can't resolve this in two days, I'll take over the case. I know what's going on with the Takashiro group. Just go ahead and investigate. Contact me if you run into any trouble."

With Jiang Hang's assurance, the two girls no longer hesitated.

Conan, however, seemed somewhat puzzled by Jiang Hang's actions and appeared to have a low opinion of Yoshino and her friends.

As Yuno and the others prepared to go out to investigate, Conan whispered a reminder to Jiang Hang.

"I remember they've only been in your firm for less than a month. They're practically complete newbies now. Are you sure you want to entrust this kind of case to two girls?"

“Which veteran didn’t start as a novice and gradually grow up? I think this request is quite suitable for them. As long as that shop owner from back then hasn’t passed away, someone will always know where he lives now. Maybe the two of them can complete this request today,” Jiang Hang still had high hopes for Muchun Yuno and the others.

Conan remained skeptical about this.

However, Jiang Hang didn't care. This commission was originally intended to train Yoshino and the other girl, so he couldn't really just ignore it.

His plan was to first send Conan back, and then secretly help with the investigation himself.

However, plans often change.

He had just dropped Conan off at the Mouri Detective Agency and hadn't even stepped inside when they heard another young man's voice coming from inside the agency.

"I came here early this morning to investigate after hearing about Shinichi Kudo's mysterious disappearance in Osaka. You must know something about him!"

Upon hearing this voice outside the door, Conan's expression changed. Had someone managed to find the Mouri Detective Agency so quickly to investigate his information?

He looked at Jiang Hang with a questioning gaze, wanting to know what to do next.

"Let's see who that guy is first," Jiang Hang said, having already activated Eagle Vision and basically confirmed the identity of the person inside.

He glanced at Conan.

Congratulations, one of your best buddies has finally made his appearance.

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: It's time for my favorite part—the murderer walking right into the trap!

Jiang Hang pushed open the door of the firm, and the young man turned around alertly to look at Jiang Hang.

"Who are you?" He looked at Jiang Hang with keen eyes. "Could you be Shinichi Kudo?"

"Have you developed a habit of seeing everyone as Shinichi Kudo?" Jiang Hang pushed Conan into Ran Mouri's arms, then looked at the dark-skinned young man wearing a baseball cap. "If I remember correctly, you should be Heiji Hattori, the high school detective from Osaka?"

Upon hearing the other party's identity, Ran Mouri looked at Jiang Hang with some curiosity: "Mr. Jiang Hang, do you know him?"

"I know a little bit about it. 'Kudo of Kanto, Hattori of Kansai,' the two great high school detectives in Japan."

At this moment, even Kogoro Mouri seemed to have a vague recollection: "I seem to have heard of a very talented young detective in the Kansai region. Could it be you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Conan couldn't help but look at the guy named Hattori Heiji with a suspicious gaze.

Is this guy a detective too?

Moreover, according to Jiang Hang, she was someone who was equally famous as him?

Are you kidding me? He's supposed to be the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, how come some random high school detective can be compared to him now?!

Before this, Conan had never heard of anyone named "Heiji Hattori".

“That’s right, I am Hattori Heiji. I didn’t expect you to know about me too. That makes things easier.” Hattori Heiji recognized Jiang Hang at a glance, and his face showed a little smugness. However, he quickly changed the subject back to Kudo Shinichi.

"I only found out yesterday that Shinichi Kudo has been mysteriously missing for almost a month. Do you guys know any clues about him?"

Even though we've never met before, and Conan had never even heard of you before, you rushed over to investigate as soon as you heard someone was missing. If you were a different gender, you'd definitely be a total loser!

Jiang Hang thought to himself, then looked towards Xiao Lan.

Yesterday, Jiang Hang had Conan make a phone call to the other party using Shinichi's voice.

Jiang Hang always felt that it was one thing for Conan not to tell Ran his identity, but in the anime, this guy used "handling a tricky case" as an excuse to keep Ran from worrying for a whole thousand episodes!

As a result, Ran Mouri, the female protagonist, was completely unaware of the existence of the Black Organization from beginning to end, and her presence in the main storyline gradually diminished.

But there's really no need for that. No matter what reason Conan gives to tell Ran not to worry, she'll still worry in the end. It's better to just tell her, "I'm being watched by a dangerous organization, so I have to hide and not let anyone know I'm still alive."

Finally, say to the other person, "Don't worry about me, I'm safe now, and I've been watching you from not far away."

Of course, Jiang Hang said this because he was shy and just imitated Shinichi Kudo's voice to Ran Mouri.

Given Ran Mouri's personality, after learning all this, she certainly wouldn't pursue the matter of Shinichi Kudo's continued absence, nor would she tell anyone about it. She would simply keep it as her biggest secret.

Now, under Heiji Hattori's persistent questioning, Ran Mouri finally admitted that they hadn't seen each other since they parted ways at the amusement park a month ago.

However, Hattori Heiji was somewhat skeptical: "Is that so? I learned it from the second young lady of the Suzuki family. As Kudo's woman, you are the most likely person to know his whereabouts."

"That Sonoko!" Ran Mouri was also filled with shame and indignation at what Sonoko Suzuki had said.

Jiang Hang noticed that Conan had been giving him meaningful glances. After understanding what Conan meant, he asked Hattori Heiji, "So, you heard that Shinichi Kudo has gone missing, so you want to come and investigate his whereabouts?"

Heiji Hattori smiled upon hearing Jiang Hang's question, then straightened his hat: "Of course, I'm very curious about that guy who's always been my equal. Before I even know if Shinichi Kudo is worthy of being compared to me, how could he just disappear like that?"

"So I need to find him and have a fair fight to see who's better!"

Jiang Hang glanced at Conan, who sighed silently, seemingly uninterested in this sudden opponent.

However, just as Conan was thinking about how to coax this guy back to Osaka, a woman's voice with a rather unfriendly tone came from the doorway.

"This must be a detective agency, right? Honestly, that detective agency over there doesn't take these kinds of cases, and yours is like this. Are you even going to do business?"

Jiang Hang turned around and saw a middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses.

The other person seemed somewhat impatient.

Upon seeing a guest arrive, Kogoro Mouri immediately shook off the persistent Heiji Hattori and jogged over to him with a smile.

He could tell at a glance that the woman's clothes were expensive, and she was definitely not short of money. Of course, he couldn't let go of such a commission.

"Hello, hello, I'm Kogoro Mouri, a detective from this agency. Is there anything you need me to investigate? This way, please... Ran, quickly go and pour this lady a cup of tea!"

The woman almost completely ignored Hattori Heiji and Jiang Hang, and sat down on the sofa to talk about her request.

After a brief explanation, everyone understood her identity.

Kimie Ikemura is the wife of a diplomat.

What she wanted to investigate was her son's current girlfriend.

When discussing the case, she mentioned that she had previously visited a nearby detective agency called Pioneer Detective Agency, but it was closed. When she called the agency, she learned from their assistant that they did not accept such investigation cases.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hang beside him.

When Ms. Ikemura learned that Jiang Hang was the director of that firm, her expression turned somewhat strange.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Jiang Hang prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw several new commissions in the newly refreshed bulletin board.

Heiji Hattori's request to find Shinichi Kudo and challenge him to a duel was posted by the system. However, what really caught Jiang Hang's attention was another request that appeared below this one.

Upon seeing this request from Kimie Ikemura, Jiang Hang suddenly decided not to leave.

Oh wow, is it finally time for my favorite part: the "murderer" actively seeks out the detective to testify on his behalf?
