The real culprit in this theft was Anzai Morio, who was a high school student at the time.
He learned about the sacrificial items because Mamegaki Taeko inadvertently revealed this information to him during a conversation.
Anzai Morio saw an opportunity in this situation, which led to the theft.
Later, because the police were unable to find the culprit, the warehouse manager who was in charge of the warehouse at the time also chose to commit suicide under immense pressure and self-blame.
When Mamegaki Taeko got to this point, her emotions seemed to fluctuate considerably.
Before she could continue, Anzai Morio's sinister voice came from the side: "Stop playing the victim... If you really thought those things were important, you wouldn't have said them so easily. To be honest, I did steal those things, but you also bear responsibility for that man's suicide. You're an accomplice, hahaha..."
Perhaps feeling that things had progressed to this point and there was no need to hide anything anymore, Anzai Morio directly revealed the words he had used to threaten Mamegaki Taeko.
Seeing this guy sweating profusely, enduring the pain in his shoulder, and still making sarcastic remarks, Jiang Hang couldn't help but look at Conan beside him.
"Conan, I kicked this guy, and it seems like he's messed up his head. I think I recorded everything he said just now, and that's important evidence."
Although finding evidence from back then is now very difficult, with the other party's own confession and the testimony of witness Taeko Mamegaki, it wouldn't be hard to sentence them.
In Japan, the penalties for theft are quite severe. Considering the serious consequences of that particular theft and the perpetrator's extortion over the years, it's enough to ensure that the perpetrator spends a long time in prison.
Conan nodded seriously. Combining what Taeko Mamegaki and Morio Anzai had said, he understood what had happened.
Because of the mistakes she made when she was young, Taeko Mamegaki is worried that if the people around her discover her past, they will look at her with strange eyes, thus burdening her with a huge burden.
Anzai Morio, the real culprit, has shown no remorse whatsoever, and even uses his past crimes to blackmail Mamegaki Taeko.
This led Mamegaki Taeko to use this method to conduct her final negotiations with Anzai Morio.
Watching Shimazaki Yuuji comforting Mamegaki Taeko by her side, even promising to share the burden with her, and seeing Mamegaki Taeko sobbing uncontrollably in her lover's arms after revealing everything, Conan felt that Mamegaki Taeko made this choice in order to find true happiness.
That knife wasn't meant to kill Anzai Morio, but rather to represent Mamegaki Taeko's determination to sever ties with the past.
However, Mamegaki Taeko did not expect Anzai Morio's reaction to be so intense.
Conan seemed to realize that if they hadn't intervened, the argument between Taeko Mamegaki and Morio Anzai would have escalated and likely led to a bloody incident.
If things get to that point, then the happiness that belongs to Mamegaki Taeko will be far away from her.
Thinking of this, Conan looked at Jiang Hang beside him.
Is preventing tragedies that could have occurred all along what he has been doing?
Chapter 112: The Things Hidden Behind the Case
Police officers who received the report quickly arrived at the scene.
Because this case involved assault, the people who came were Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi, two old acquaintances.
However, since Anzai Morio is also involved in a theft case from ten years ago and extortion cases in recent years, this case will likely be transferred back to the Third Investigation Division, which specializes in handling such cases.
The recording from Conan's bugging device has been handed over to the police. According to the recording, Mamegaki Taeko will not be charged by the police; at most, she will be detained for a few days and fined.
As for Jiang Hang, who kicked Anzai Morio to the ground, since it was an act of bravery and Anzai Morio's injuries were not too serious after a preliminary examination, he only needed to go to the police station to make a detailed statement and that would be the end of it.
Of course, Jiang Hang and Conan explained how the bugging device on Anzai Morio ended up as a child's prank and an accident, which unexpectedly came in handy.
Inspector Megure did not pursue the matter further.
Because of the loud sirens blaring at the shrine, the film crew members who were having dinner at a hotel not far from the shrine also rushed over to see what was going on.
As for Imai Midori, who rushed over upon hearing the news, she was already a fan of Jiang Hang, so she naturally believed without hesitation that Jiang Hang must have discovered something beforehand, which was why he came to prevent the tragedy tonight.
She still remembered the "more important thing" Jiang Hang told her before heading to the film set. Could it be that Jiang Hang had already noticed the problem at that time?
She now felt that Jiang Hang was becoming more and more formidable in her eyes, which made her somewhat conflicted.
In real life, Jiang Hang repeatedly refreshes her understanding of the "detective" profession. So, in the story, what method can be used to highlight Jiang Hang's abilities without reducing the story's interest?
However, this is not a question she can answer by simply agonizing over it for a while.
However, the director, Taketoshi Gondo, who had been enjoying his drinks, had a very interesting expression on his face after learning that his crew had almost encountered a major disaster.
After being questioned by the police, his gaze fell on Jiang Hang.
According to the police, the conflict occurred when Anzai Morio was extorting Mamegaki Taeko.
Fortunately, Jiang Hang appeared before their conflict escalated further, preventing it from breaking out and bringing the situation under control.
He breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although the extortion incident involving the crew members was a significant scandal, it was still far less damaging than the loss of life on set.
Taketoshi Gondo looked at Yoko Okino standing next to him.
A month ago, Yoko Okino was murdered in her room by her ex-boyfriend.
He remembered that the case seemed to have been solved by Kogoro Mouri.
Even if the case is ultimately proven to be unrelated to Yoko Okino, the fact that her ex-boyfriend committed suicide in her room remains an indelible stain on her reputation.
Although Yoko Okino's agency spent a great deal of effort to suppress the impact of this incident, Yoko Okino was still significantly affected.
If a murder were to occur on his set, Taketoshi Gondo, as the director of the film, would inevitably bear some of the blame.
Fortunately, Jiang Hang prevented the tragedy from happening. He already owed Jiang Hang a favor, so he was even more grateful to Jiang Hang now.
He couldn't help but compare Kogoro Mouri and Jiang Hang.
The former solved several murder cases in a month, making the name "Sleeping Kogoro" particularly famous, while the latter only encountered one murder case in the past month. The event that truly made him famous was actually his duel with Kaito Kid a few days ago.
A famous detective's reputation naturally depends on all sorts of cases.
Kogoro Mouri solved nearly ten murder and kidnapping cases in a month, which makes him the kind of famous detective people should be in the eyes of the world.
Although Jiang Hang is quite famous among the police, to ordinary people, apart from his duel with Phantom Thief Kid, Jiang Hang doesn't have any cases to show for himself. He has only helped the police find the murderers in a few murder cases from several years ago.
Previously, he thought that Kogoro Mouri was better at detective reasoning, and he wanted to curry favor with Jiang Hang because he owed him a favor. But now it seems that the facts are not necessarily so.
Perhaps today's events are not as simple as Jiang Hang said, that it was just a coincidence.
Jiang Hang likely discovered the conflict between Anzai Morio and Mamegaki Taeko beforehand, which allowed him to prevent the tragedy from happening.
Perhaps Jiang Hang didn't encounter many murder cases in the past month, but behind the scenes, he has prevented countless tragedies from happening!
Thinking of this, Taketoshi Kondo immediately felt a deep respect for Jiang Hang.
After Jiang Hang finished being questioned by the police, he rushed over to Jiang Hang and expressed his sincerest gratitude.
"No need to thank me for this. Compared to this, your crew's Nachi Shingo was also severely extorted by that man Anzai. You'll have to handle this matter yourself," Jiang Hang said to the director.
Taketoshi wiped his forehead, indicating that he would handle these issues carefully.
Seeing that no police had noticed them, he explained to Jiang Hang in a low voice with a helpless expression.
Through his explanation, Jiang Hang finally understood that this Anxi Shounan had actually been a henchman of Xiao Zhongda before.
The reason he was able to join Taketoshi Gondo's film crew was because he was sent by Koichi Dai before his downfall to secretly film the private lives of the celebrities on set for blackmail and extortion.
Although Kochudai had been out of business for some time, out of consideration, Taketoshi Gondo did not fire the other party immediately. Instead, he planned to fire the other party in a more secure way after the crew had settled the salary for this month.
Unexpectedly, Anzai Morio seemed to know that he wouldn't be able to stay on the set for long, so in the last period of time, he frantically used the celebrity scandals he had secretly filmed to blackmail those celebrities, preparing to make this last bit of money and leave Tokyo.
Anzai Morio probably never imagined that after all his success in extorting those celebrities, he would be defeated today by Mamegaki Taeko, a "high school classmate" who seemed to pose no threat to him.
Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Shared Eagle Eye
Having prevented another tragedy and ensured that a scumbag received his due punishment, Jiang Hang was in a rather good mood for the next few days.
After learning that Anzai Morio was connected with Kochudai, Jiang Hang relayed the information to Ayato Chihiro, who was currently dealing with matters related to Kochudai. He believed that Ayato Chihiro could find more information about Anzai Morio's criminal records from Kochudai's intelligence company.
Jiang Hang is now standing on the rooftop of the Mihua Art Museum once again.
Unlike the empty rooftop a few days ago, there is now an eagle enclosure on the rooftop.
The office is quite spacious, but it would be a bit cramped if you wanted to keep a golden eagle.
Moreover, Jiang Hang's office is next to a commercial street, and the neighbors were afraid that the majestic eagle might hurt them. Considering all aspects, Jiang Hang eventually decided to build the eagle house near the art museum.
Thanks to the jewelry exhibition and a batch of new exhibits, and with good management and promotion, the museum's daily visitor flow has stabilized at a fairly good level.
However, the passage leading to the rooftop is very hidden, and ordinary tourists can't find the way to the rooftop at all, so there's no need to worry about tourists running up to the rooftop.
If Jiang Hang finds it too troublesome to walk from inside the art museum to the rooftop, he can use the rope gun to get directly to the rooftop in three seconds.
As for feeding Altaïr and cleaning the eagle coop, Jiang Hang entrusted the task to Miyano Akemi.
Jiang Hang originally wanted to find a professional to take charge of this task, but in the end, Miyano Akemi took it on her own initiative.
She seemed to feel that her daily work was too easy and was a little embarrassed to Jiang Hang, so she took the initiative to offer to feed his eagles.
Because Altaïr was a reward from the system, and with Jiang Hang's training, it is usually quite docile without Jiang Hang's command. Therefore, Jiang Hang can confidently entrust this matter to Miyano Akemi.
As long as Akemi Miyano is careful, there shouldn't be any problems with Altaïr.
Jiang Hang is currently on the rooftop continuing to train Altaïr, while also engaging in deeper communication with him.
A few days ago, after the Anxi Shounan extortion incident ended, Jiang Hang received a new reward from the system.
However, this reward is somewhat different from the rewards Jiang Hang has received in the past.
The reward the system is giving him this time requires him to meet certain conditions, as well as to develop a higher level of understanding with his eagle.
His award this time is for another branch of the Eagle Eye feature, "Shared Eagle Eye (Basic)".
The effect of this skill is very simple. Once Jiang Hang masters this skill, he can directly access Altaïr's perspective to find out what he wants to know.
Jiang Hang can indeed see very far with his eagle eye, but the effect of observing from the ground and observing from a high altitude is completely different.
More importantly, Jiang Hang's speed on the ground is limited. Even if he could transform into the racing god of Mount Akina, he still couldn't be faster than a golden eagle flying in the sky.
It's important to know that when golden eagles swoop down to catch their prey, they can fly at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour. Once a creature on the ground has its eye on it, it is virtually impossible to escape its pursuit.
However, although Jiang Hang has now acquired the ability to share Eagle Eye, he has only initially mastered this ability so far.
As long as Altaïr moves more than two meters away from him, or if Jiang Hang's concentration is insufficient, the shared Hawkeye will disconnect immediately, falling far short of the capabilities shown in the game.
Jiang Hang had no way to deal with this, so he could only slowly spend time improving his synchronization rate with Altaïr.
After yet another failed attempt to share the eagle eye from a greater distance, Jiang Hang rubbed his eyes.
"Jiang Hang, is this your way of training eagles? It looks really special!" It was Miyano Akemi who spoke. She had come over to feed Altaïr and happened to see the strange look on Jiang Hang's face as he and his eagle stared at each other.
“This is to cultivate a tacit understanding between me and it, but it’s not going very smoothly yet,” Jiang Hang shook his head, then threw a few pieces of fresh meat that he had taken from Miyano Akemi at Altaïr.
Watching Altaïr snatch the small piece of fresh meat that Jiang Hang had thrown out mid-air, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but marvel: "I think Altaïr has been trained very well by you. I've never seen such a smart eagle."
