The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Jiang Hang's gaze fell on the middle-aged noblewoman who had a stern face.

"Mrs. Ikemura, if you don't mind, could you please include me in this request as well?"

He then turned to Kogoro Mouri, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and said, "Mr. Mouri, please don't misunderstand. I just suddenly remembered that I seem to have seen the woman this lady is investigating somewhere before. Perhaps she is someone I know, so I want to find out more about her. Of course, I won't take any commission this time. What do you think, Mr. Mouri?"

Upon hearing that Jiang Hang wasn't there to steal his business, Kogoro Mouri's displeasure vanished instantly: "Since you put it that way, Jiang Hang, then of course there's no problem."

He even took the initiative to introduce Jiang Hang's name to the client: "Jiang Hang is the famous 'Eagle-Eyed Detective' in Beika Town. However, he has never taken on this kind of case before. This time, he and I, Kogoro Mouri, will join forces and will definitely be able to help you find out about your son's girlfriend very quickly!"

Although Jiang Hang has gradually gotten used to being called Hawkeye Detective, when he heard Kogoro Mouri bragging to his clients like that, Jiang Hang felt that he was still too thin-skinned.

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's explanation, not only did Kimie Ikemura cast a curious glance at Jiang Hang, but even Heiji Hattori, who was standing to the side, seemed to have developed some interest in Jiang Hang.

Conan, on the other hand, frowned deeply.

No, Jiang Hang doesn't like those stalking jobs anyway, he couldn't possibly change his mind so easily.

"Someone I know"? That reason sounds ridiculous!

Moreover, judging from his demeanor just now, it was clear that he had discovered some clues from the client when he was about to leave, which is why he stayed with this somewhat far-fetched reason.

Conan also tried to widen his eyes, seemingly trying to find something unusual about this client, but after carefully examining him from head to toe, he couldn't find anything wrong with him.

He seemed somewhat dejected. He had long known that Jiang Hang's observational skills were practically superhuman, a fact demonstrated in several cases he had dealt with. But the woman in front of him was just an ordinary middle-aged woman. Where exactly had Jiang Hang noticed something amiss?

Conan really wanted to go over and ask Jiang Hang what he had discovered, but since the others were still chatting, it wasn't appropriate for him, a child, to approach Jiang Hang for questioning.

He then looked at Hattori Heiji, who was listening intently to the case description, but judging from his expression, he probably hadn't noticed anything either.

Soon, Ms. Ikemura Kimie finished stating her demands. Because it concerned the reputation of a diplomat, she wanted Jiang Hang and Kogoro Mouri to come to her house now to discuss the matter in person.

Naturally, the restless detective Heiji Hattori also expressed his desire to accompany Kogoro Mouri on the visit. Conan, concerned about what Jiang Hang had discovered, also offered to go with him. Ran, under the pretext of taking care of Conan, also decided to go along.

This ultimately led to a large group of people heading to the other party's residence in a grand manner.

On the way, Conan secretly asked Jiang Hang for a question.

"Jiang Hang, have you noticed something's wrong?" Ever since he learned that Jiang Hang had discovered his identity, he had never called him "Brother Jiang Hang" again.

Jiang Hang glanced at Conan, who was brimming with curiosity.

"I just discovered something interesting, so I wanted to see if my guesses were right," Jiang Hang glanced at Conan. "If you call me 'Big Brother' or 'Boss' from now on, I'll tell you what I found. Otherwise, you can guess for yourself."

Conan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

I had no choice but to call this guy "big brother" before, but now that he knows who I am, he still expects me to keep calling him "big brother." This man has such a twisted sense of humor.

In this respect, Conan still has some backbone.

Since Jiang Hang refuses to tell, he will find out the truth himself.

However, at that moment, Jiang Hang suddenly said to Conan, "You'd better think about this before you get to their house, otherwise you might be too late."

Conan gritted his teeth. Although he didn't know what Jiang Hang meant by "too late," his brain was working at lightning speed.

Kogoro Mouri was busy learning about Ms. Ikemura's husband and son, and didn't pay any attention to Jiang Hang. However, Heiji Hattori, who was walking in the middle, noticed Jiang Hang and Conan at the back.

He subtly slowed his pace and then asked Jiang Hang, "Are you the 'Eagle Eye Detective' who has recently become famous in Tokyo?"

It's surprising that Heiji Hattori seems to pay attention to detectives in Tokyo; at least he's better than Conan, who doesn't care about anything except cases.

Before Jiang Hang could reply, the guy started talking to himself: "Actually, I haven't heard anything about Kudo for the past month, so I've been paying more attention to this. As a result, two 'famous detectives' have emerged in Tokyo in the past month. One is that Uncle Mori, and the other is you."

So, in the end, you only noticed me because of Shinichi Kudo?

Jiang Hang tapped Conan's head.

Heiji Hattori continued, resting his chin on his hand, analyzing: "Tokyo lost a high school detective, but almost at the same time he disappeared, two new 'detectives' appeared. This coincidence makes me feel uneasy. After discovering the relationship between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, this idea came to me..."

"Could it be that Kudo had to go into hiding for some reason and was secretly guiding his girlfriend's father to solve the case? But I didn't expect you to show up at this time, which is really suspicious... So I'll just ask you directly, do you know where Kudo Shinichi is?"

Conan, who was still wondering what was wrong with the woman, was also startled by her sudden question.

This guy actually deduced this possibility from information in the newspaper while he was all in Osaka?

It wasn't until this point that Conan realized he had indeed been too reckless in the past month. Besides Jiang Hang, now he was the second person to notice Kogoro Mouri!

This suddenly appearing young man, though still far from the truth, undeniably seems to be quite a formidable individual!

Fortunately, the Black Organization hadn't noticed anything, otherwise... Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but shudder.

He looked at Jiang Hang nervously, wondering what kind of response he would give.

Chapter 88: Chapter 87: He's a detective just like you.

Conan looked at Jiang Hang, while Jiang Hang looked at Hattori Heiji.

“I came to Japan a month ago, and I still haven’t actually met ‘Shinichi Kudo’. However, I did have the opportunity to meet his father, who is a world-class mystery novelist, a few days ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to say more than a few words to him before he left Japan.”

He paused, then continued, "If you really want to know about Shinichi Kudo, there's someone who can tell you."

After saying that, Jiang Hang pushed Conan directly in front of Hattori Heiji.

"This is my recently accepted disciple, Conan Edogawa. He is Shinichi Kudo's distant cousin and Shinichi's number one supporter. If you want to know anything about Shinichi Kudo, just ask him."

Conan looked at Jiang Hang with disbelief, he never expected Jiang Hang to push him out so easily.

When did I become your disciple? And why did you push me right in front of that guy? What if he's someone sent by the Black Organization to test me?

After the play-within-a-play the day before yesterday, and after receiving Jiang Hang's "careful education," Conan seems to have finally learned his lesson. At least when he encounters someone like Hattori Heiji who suddenly appears, he will first consider whether the other party is related to the Black Organization.

"Shinichi Kudo's number one supporter?" Heiji Hattori looked closely at the child-like Conan, then smirked and looked back at Jiang Hang. "How could a little kid like him know where Shinichi Kudo is? Of course, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. Anyway, with my abilities, I'll find out where that guy is right now very soon!"

Thanks to Jiang Hang's actions, Hattori Heiji completely shifted his attention away from him and Conan.

Seeing Hattori Heiji resolutely return to the front of the group, Jiang Hang whispered to Conan, "Conan, this guy is a detective like you. He can easily outwit someone with a few tricks, right?"

Conan, at this moment, just wanted to roll his eyes at the other person.

What do you mean by "a detective like me"? I won't be fooled by such a boring tactic.

He muttered this to himself, completely unaware that he was also being teased by Jiang Hang.

When he came to his senses, Kimie Ikemura had already stopped in front of a villa with Kogoro Mouri and the others.

Looking at the magnificent villa in front of him, Conan was stunned for a moment before realizing that because Hattori Heiji had interrupted his train of thought, he hadn't yet discovered what was wrong with Ikemura Kimie!

However, it was too late now, because Jiang Hang had already quickly caught up with him, seemingly having no intention of answering his questions at all.

Conan gritted his teeth and quickly followed. Since he still couldn't figure out the problem, he stayed by Jiang Hang's side to see what he was up to.

Speaking of which, the Ikemura family is indeed a prestigious family. When they entered the house, there was even a butler who came to greet them.

Mrs. Ikemura simply explained to her housekeeper that Kogoro Mouri and his companions were friends invited by her husband, without revealing their identities as detectives.

Just as she was about to lead everyone upstairs to her husband's study, a woman's voice suddenly came from the corridor.

"Mom, you're back!"

Upon hearing the voice, Kimie Ikemura swayed slightly before looking at the woman who had spoken to her.

Almost at a glance, everyone present recognized the young woman as Katsuragi Sachiko, the girlfriend of Ikemura Kimie's son, and the person she wanted to investigate.

Upon seeing that the other party had actually appeared at his home, Kimie Ikemura's face immediately darkened.

"Why are you here..." she said, her face turning even uglier. "And you have no right to call me Mom. Our family hasn't acknowledged you yet!"

After saying that, she didn't say another word to the woman and directly beckoned Kogoro Mouri and his group to go upstairs.

Seeing this, Conan frowned slightly. He didn't quite like Kimie Ikemura's attitude. According to what she said at the agency, her son's girlfriend was also a very outstanding woman. It was just that she and her husband were a little worried about her, so they wanted to investigate her.

The other party should not know Katsuragi Sachiko yet, but if that's the case, why is she showing this attitude now?

Conan then looked at Jiang Hang, whose expression remained unchanged.

Could it be that what Jiang Hang discovered is related to this?

Conan vaguely felt that he had discovered the problem, but it was as if there was still a veil between them, preventing him from seeing the final answer.

At this moment, Kimie Ikemura also led everyone to the door of the study.

The faint sound of opera could be heard coming from the study.

She first went up and knocked on the door, but after a while there was no response. She tried turning the doorknob, and it was locked.

She looked at the crowd behind her with some embarrassment.

"Excuse me, my husband might not be in the study or he might be asleep. Let me get my key and open the door to check."

The other person took out a set of keys from their bag and opened the locked door.

As soon as the door opened, the opera sounds that could only be faintly heard outside immediately entered everyone's ears clearly.

Everyone then noticed the renowned diplomat, Isao Ikemura, who was resting his chin on his hand, with most of his face obscured by the tall books on his desk.

The other person looked as if they had fallen asleep while listening to an opera.

Kimie Ikemura couldn't help but grumble.

"Seriously, I managed to fall asleep with the music so loud... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

A group of people entered the house, and what attracted the most attention was naturally the stereo system that was playing opera.

Conan glanced at Kimie Ikemura, who seemed to be preparing to wake her husband, but he didn't pay much attention. He followed Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mouri to the stereo, wanting to hear which opera was playing.

While their gazes and attention were drawn to the opera, Kimie Ikemura walked over to her husband's side.

“We have a guest, you should wake up,” she urged, slowly reaching out her hand as if to wake her husband from his sleep.

However, at the next moment, a deliberately lowered voice came from behind her.

"Are you sure you want to do this? That's hell ahead!"

Suddenly hearing someone speak behind her, her right hand trembled slightly, and then a tiny, sharp needle slipped from her fingertip.

Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Conan's Submission

Seeing that Ikemura Kimie was looking at him in a daze, Jiang Hang didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a small bag from his pocket, picked up the needle covered in poison from the ground, and put it away.

With just a rough assessment, he was already able to determine what kind of poison the other party was using.

It's still that classic cyanide, as expected.

After gaining expertise in poisons, this was the first time Jiang Hang had come into contact with "cyanide" series poisons in real life.
