Who Was Jiang Hang Holding This Group Trip For? / How Much Have You Uncovered Behind My Back?

"Actually, it's nothing. I know about that man. My sister was prepared for this a long time ago. It's just that you suddenly told her about it, so she didn't react for a moment." Miyano Shiho's attitude towards Shuichi Akai has never been good. She always refers to him as "that man."

It's clear that she doesn't have any good feelings towards Shuichi Akai, the man who "deceived" her sister's feelings and used her as a stepping stone within the organization.

"That's good. Rather than letting my sister keep thinking about that man, it's not too late for her to come to her senses now," Miyano Shiho said to Jiang Hang. "I told my sister that we should go out and relax for a few days, and she should feel better after that."

Hearing that Miyano Shiho wanted to go out with her sister to relax, Jiang Hang was naturally quite supportive. Miyano Shiho stayed in the lab doing experiments every day, not to mention that Miyano Akemi seemed much more cheerful than Miyano Shiho. However, ever since Jiang Hang and Conan rescued her from the organization, she basically stayed in the art museum and never went out. This was evident from the fact that she usually stayed in the art museum at night.

"Should I make the arrangements?" Jiang Hang asked Miyano Shiho.

"I have no objection, but to avoid any unexpected situations, you'd better come with us," Miyano Shiho said, looking at Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang nodded seriously. "Indeed, I have to go with you. Although your disguises are unlikely to be noticed, we still have to be careful. And I can also take the opportunity to slack off for a few days... cough cough."

Ignoring the part about slacking off, Jiang Hang continued, "But in that case, I have a good idea. Why don't we organize a trip for all the museum staff? That way, no one will notice what you're up to."

However, after saying that, Jiang Hang shook his head again. "That's not right either. There are two film and television companies. It doesn't seem right if only the art museum offers benefits. We should also include these two companies. Or we could just organize another research conference and let the two film and television companies go somewhere else."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang casually mention the idea of a company trip, Miyano Shiho's face showed a hint of helplessness.

This seems to have gone completely in the opposite direction from her original idea.

She simply wanted to accompany her sister out for a walk to relax, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a collective activity of Jiang Hang's industries. Such a change is truly hard to believe.

However, considering Jiang Hang's personality, it is not surprising that he would make this choice.

Even after hearing Jiang Hang's words, Miyano Shiho felt that this was exactly the kind of thing Jiang Hang would do.

If Jiang Hang were to half-heartedly agree and the three of them ended up going on a trip together to relax, that would be a truly unexpected development for her.

Therefore, she did not refute him. After all, Jiang Hang was doing this for her sister's sake, so she let Jiang Hang handle the matter himself.

The next day, the people at the Beika Art Museum learned about the group trip that would take place in two days, while Daibao Films and Television and Eito Studios also received news that they would be going out to film on location.

Although the sudden news was somewhat unexpected, no one dislikes taking a break and slacking off, so after Jiang Hang announced the news, employees from several companies naturally cheered.

Koharu Yoshino also wholeheartedly supports Jiang Hang's decision.

"But Jiang Hang, why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Shizuka Sakaki asked Jiang Hang, seemingly concerned.

As someone who aspires to debut as a voice actress, she is also quite a homebody. Therefore, she knows Jiang Hang well in this regard, knowing that this homebody spends all his time at the agency playing games and watching anime, except when he is working.

For Jiang Hang, going on a trip is less appealing than staying home and watching a few more episodes of anime.

Since she became Jiang Hang's assistant, the number of times she has traveled far away has only been three: once to Moon Shadow Island, once to Sherlock Holmes fan gathering, and once to the Twilight Mansion. Even though Moon Shadow Island and the Sherlock Holmes gathering were in relatively remote locations, they were still within the Tokyo circle, so strictly speaking, they could not be considered long trips.

"Ahem, I've just been staying home for too long and I feel like I need to go out for a stroll," Jiang Hang casually told Shizuka Sakaki. "By the way, you can also invite your classmates and friends to go on a trip together."

Jiang Hang was referring to the five members of the Shirobako crew. It had been quite a while since he had seen them together. In any case, the crew now numbered several hundred people, so adding a few more wouldn't be a problem.

It was obvious from the doubtful look on Shizuka Sakaki's face that she didn't believe Jiang Hang's words at all. However, she didn't press him further and just shook her head. "Musashino Animation just announced their new project. From now until the end of the anime's run, it's going to be a busy time. How could Aoi and Ema possibly find time to go on a trip? Misa has only just started to establish herself at the company, so she can't possibly go on a trip with us either. Only Midori has the time."

Although Shizuka Sakaki still had some doubts about Jiang Hang's intentions, it was clear that she herself was quite supportive of the trip. "But if they knew about this, they would probably be very upset."

However, although the Shirobako group of five was not able to be assembled, Jiang Hang was somewhat surprised that the Detective Gang, who had not shown up for a long time, inexplicably came over.

Upon learning that Professor Agasa was the one who orchestrated the arrival of the Detective Boys, Jiang Hang's lips twitched involuntarily. He knew from the anime that Professor Agasa loved playing with children.

After all, in the anime, Professor Agasa would often take Conan and the rest of the daredevil group on trips, where murder cases would occur, and Conan would eventually step in and solve the cases.

Jiang Hang is extremely familiar with this series of procedures.

However, not long ago, Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys almost suffered a complete defeat in the Blue Castle incident, and now these kids' parents are actually willing to let their children go out with Professor Agasa.

All I can say is that these kids' parents are incredibly carefree.

In short, after learning that the Detective Boys was also involved, Jiang Hang suddenly became less optimistic about the trip.

Chapter 346: Chapter 344: Who did Jiang Hang organize this group tour for?

There's one thing that Jiang Hang is quite concerned about: are elementary schools in Japan really that lenient?

In his memory, Conan usually followed Kogoro Mouri all over Japan, traveling around for at least one or two days at a time, and the frequency was quite high.

It's fair to say that Conan spends half the week away from school.

In addition to the cases involving Kogoro Mouri, since the Detective Boys was formed, Professor Agasa would take the kids camping or to other places to play every week or two.

Then it mainly depends on whether Conan uses his powers. If he doesn't, it's just normal camping in the wild, at most encountering a little danger.

But if the power is activated, either Professor Agasa will get lost and end up at someone else's house, triggering a case, or the Detective Boys will discover the case themselves.

Starting with the Maple Gold Coin Case more than three months ago, the Detective Boys has encountered several murder and robbery cases in the past few months. Even Inspector Megure and his team have become familiar with these kids.

After all, they always called the parents after the case was closed, telling them to keep a close eye on their children and not to try to be heroes when they encounter danger, but to protect themselves.

However, after a few days, these kids always manage to come up with something new for them.

Ironically, these six- or seven-year-old children, under the guidance of Conan, the "little detective" who lives in Kogoro Mouri's house and has "apprenticed" under Jiang Hang, always manage to help the police with details of some cases, making Inspector Megure even more embarrassed.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it's a certainty that Conan, the ultimate destabilizing factor, has been added to this impromptu trip, and it's unrealistic to expect that Conan won't unleash his power.

Moreover, if something really goes wrong, various cases will gradually appear around Jiang Hang, and it seems that he can't completely shift the blame to Conan alone.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang could only be careful and at least prevent the case from involving people from his own company.

After deciding to travel, the next thing to consider is the travel destination.

It's already late autumn, so naturally, it's impossible to go to Okinawa if you're going to travel during this season.

In the internal company vote, Kyoto won by an overwhelming majority.

After all, Kyoto is arguably the best city in all of Japan for viewing autumn foliage during this season.

In addition, Sakura Himeshiro's father's Himeshiro Group is a long-established yakuza Mafia in Kyoto. Traveling to Kyoto might not bring much convenience, but it can save a lot of trouble.

Therefore, the final destination for this trip was chosen to be a three-day tour of Kyoto.

A trip involving several hundred people may not seem too large in terms of scale, but it's not small either. If everyone is crammed into one place, it will naturally feel too crowded.

To this end, Jiang Hang specially chartered a passenger plane from an airline and then found a professional travel agency to act as a tour guide. After arriving in Kyoto, the members of the three companies would visit different attractions under the guidance of their respective tour guides.

Of course, Jiang Hang still remembered that the main purpose of this trip was to help Miyano Akemi relax.

Therefore, on the plane, Jiang Hang sat not far from Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho, observing their emotional changes.

However, Jiang Hang's reaction naturally attracted the attention of Shizuka Sakaki, Koharu Yoshino, and Imai Midori, who were sitting behind him.

"As expected, there were still problems with this trip," Shizuka Sakaki, sitting a few rows behind Jiang Hang, muttered to Imai Midori in a low voice, seemingly not in a very good mood.

"Have you noticed that Jiang Hang has been staring at that person a lot since he boarded the plane?"

Imai Midori had never met Miyano Akemi before, but after Shizuka Sakaki pointed out Miyano Akemi's location, Koharu Yoshino recalled for a moment and quickly remembered her.

"Are you talking about Ms. Yami?" Koharu Yoshino carefully recalled the pseudonym Jiang Hang had given Miyano Akemi Beika Art Museum. We've met before, haven't we?"

Shizuka Sakaki clearly knew more about Miyano Akemi's situation. "She was specially hired by Jiang Hang, and their relationship seems quite unusual..."

Sure enough, when it came to gossip, especially gossip about Jiang Hang, these girls seemed to have a completely different interest.

The girls who interact with Jiang Hang almost every day naturally know his personality very well. Although Jiang Hang always able to grasp the psychology of criminals when solving cases, in daily life, he is a complete straight man when it comes to emotions.

Even now, Mihona Nishigo, who was rescued by Jiang Hang during the Mihuazhi Wolf case, still sends some snacks to Jiang Hang's office every now and then.

Moreover, the way Mihona Nishigo looked at Jiang Hang was clearly not just a simple expression of gratitude to anyone with normal eyes. However, Jiang Hang has not responded at all, and has only told them to buy more things from the pastry shop where Mihona Nishigo works.

But in Shizuka Sakaki's mind, the relationship between this "Nagasawa Masami" and Jiang Hang seemed to be more intriguing.

"The first time we met Ms. Yami was at the agency, right? According to Jiang Hang, she had just arrived in Tokyo and didn't have time to rent an apartment, so Jiang Hang let her stay at the agency for one night," Shizuka Sakaki analyzed. "Moreover, I asked the people at the art museum, and she's the one who takes care of Jiang Hang's eagle there. You've all seen Jiang Hang's eagle; if it's not someone Jiang Hang trusts, he wouldn't let anyone touch it."

At this point, Shizuka Sakaki could be said to have fully utilized the intelligence-gathering abilities she had acquired during her months working under Jiang Hang.

"Furthermore, I've heard that Ms. Yami seems a bit distracted while working at the art museum these past few days. Perhaps something has happened," Shizuka Sakaki analyzed. "Maybe something has happened to Ms. Yami, and Jiang Hang wanted to comfort her, but was afraid of making his intentions too obvious, so he specially arranged this group trip?"

"You mean, Jiang Hang has feelings for Miss Yami, and this group trip was all for her sake?" After listening to Shizuka Sakaki's analysis, Imai Midori looked at Shizuka Sakaki with some surprise.

Imai Midori glanced furtively at Miyano Akemi, who was sitting by the window on the plane, looking at the scenery outside. "While Ms. Masami is indeed quite beautiful, I feel like Shizuka- senpai is overthinking things. Mr. Jiang Hang doesn't seem like that kind of person at all!"

Koharu Yoshino nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Jiang Hang doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this."

It seems that Koharu Yoshino has her own different opinion. She looked at Miyano Shiho next to Miyano Akemi and said, "If I had to say, I think it's more likely that he's after Haibara Miss Ai next to Akemi Miyano."

Ai Haibara is still the pseudonym that Miyano Shiho uses to the outside world, and she is also Miyano Akemi's younger sister. As for why the two sisters have different surnames, it is not complicated to explain, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Miss Ai?" Imai Midori, who usually doesn't pay much attention to Jiang Hang's private life, also didn't recognize the other person. She could only look at Koharu Yoshino curiously, waiting for Koharu Yoshino to reveal the other person's identity.

Koharu Yoshino Imai Midori explained Shiho Miyano Shiho.

"She is Ms. Yami's younger sister. She had been studying abroad and only recently returned to Japan. It is said that she is not even twenty years old yet, but she is already a medical doctor. She is currently working in the research institute of Professor Agasa, who often deals with Jiang Hang. It seems that all the funding for her research project was invested by Jiang Hang."

"She usually stays in the research institute to conduct research. I have only met her once in a while. She doesn't seem to like appearing in front of others. When I asked Jiang Hang, he only told me that she is a super genius and is researching a drug that can change the world."

Koharu Yoshino looked at Shizuka Sakaki and continued her analysis, "I think that although Ms. Aya appeared first, it is possible that Jiang Hang chose to get on good terms with her sister first in order to win over Miss Ai."

After Koharu Yoshino got to this point, Imai Midori probably understood what Koharu Yoshino meant. "You mean, Jiang Hang actually has his eye on Miss Haibara, so this group trip was organized by Jiang Hang for Miss Haibara?"

Koharu Yoshino nodded. "I hadn't figured it out yet, but after Shizuka's reminder, I've just figured it out a little bit."

"The main reason for this trip is that Miss Yamei has been having some relationship problems lately. It's not that Jiang Hang wants to comfort her, but rather that Miss Ai doesn't want to see her sister so depressed, so she asked Jiang Hang for help. That's why Jiang Hang decided to take a group trip to help Miss Yamei relax."

Koharu Yoshino added, "Because no matter how I look at it, I feel that although Jiang Hang is an irredeemable straight man, if he really has feelings for a woman, he wouldn't use such roundabout ways to comfort her, but would instead give her the most direct and straightforward answer."

Regarding Koharu Yoshino's judgment, Imai Midori also seemed to think it was more likely, "That's what I think too. After all, I can't imagine Mr. Jiang Hang trying to please other people."

"But Yuno, how did you figure out that Ms. Masami was having relationship problems?" Imai Midori asked curiously.

"This is just my own guess. If she works for Jiang Hang, she won't encounter any troubles at work. And if there were any changes in Ms. Yami's family, Miss Ai's mood shouldn't be too good either. But I just glanced at it, and it's basically Miss Ai who's taking the initiative to talk to Ms. Yami, and Miss Ai doesn't seem to be having any major emotional fluctuations," Koharu Yoshino said, resting her chin on her hand. "Didn't Sherlock Holmes say that if you eliminate all the impossibilities, what's left is the truth? Career and family can be eliminated, so what's left is only feelings, right?"

Koharu Yoshino said this, she seemed to sense something and turned to look at Conan, who was sitting there watching the three of them discuss with a helpless expression.

Although the three of them had controlled their voices during their discussion, Conan, who was sitting next to them, could definitely have heard some of it if he listened carefully.

"Conan, is there anything else you want to add?" Koharu Yoshino looked at Conan with some curiosity.

Because Conan frequently visits the agency and is nominally Jiang Hang's disciple, and often displays a thoughtful demeanor that doesn't seem like that of a child when he's at the agency, Koharu Yoshino doesn't usually treat Conan like a child.

"No, no, Yuno-neechan and Shizuka, both of you made very good deductions, I have nothing to add," Conan quickly waved his hand at Koharu Yoshino.

He didn't want to get involved in the girls' gossip.

He naturally knew the reason why Jiang Hang was going on this trip: two FBI agents from Japan had come, one of whom was Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend. Jiang Hang would not hide this from him.

Although the girls were just talking about gossip related to Jiang Hang, it was quite surprising that they were able to arrive at a conclusion that was not far from the truth, based on these fragmented clues, aside from things they definitely wouldn't know.

After all, just a few months ago, when Jiang Hang had just hired Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino as his assistants, Conan wondered if Jiang Hang was planning to do something to the two of them by hiring two people who knew nothing about deduction as assistants.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Hang did nothing to these girls in the past few months. On the contrary, their reasoning skills have improved dramatically compared to a few months ago.

Could it be that Jiang Hang is also very skilled at teaching people?

Conan then looked closely at the girls beside him, wanting to hear what they were still saying.

At this moment, Koharu Yoshino suddenly asked Shizuka Sakaki, who was sitting next to her.

"Hey, Shizuka, I feel like your mood has suddenly improved a lot. Just now you seemed to be in a bad mood?"

Suddenly having her secret revealed by her best friend, Shizuka Sakaki looked flustered.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. "I guess I was just not used to flying at first, but I'm getting used to it now. And it's normal to feel excited about arriving in Kyoto soon. I've never been to Kyoto before!"

Chapter 347: Chapter 345: Just how much have you been hiding from me?

It doesn't take long to fly from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Soon, a large group of them arrived in Kyoto, a city with a thousand-year history.

From the Heian-kyō period in the 8th century to the 19th century, Kyoto was the capital of Japan. Over this period of more than a thousand years, the city of Kyoto has witnessed the changes of various eras in Japan.

Even today, Kyoto still boasts a wealth of historical sites and remains a hub of traditional Japan culture.

In Tokyo, unless there's a festival or celebration, it's quite rare to see people wearing kimonos on the street.

In Kyoto, there are significantly more people wearing kimonos. Walking on those old streets with hundreds of years of history, one can't help but feel as if they have traveled back hundreds of years.

It's November now, the perfect season for admiring the autumn leaves. And in this city dyed red by maple leaves, visiting and appreciating the historical sites is truly a unique experience.

The tour guide from the travel agency was telling Jiang Hang about the places they were going to visit in the next few days.

When traveling to Kyoto in autumn, the places to visit are mainly the various shrines and temples, as well as the spots suitable for viewing autumn leaves.

Jiang Hang didn't really care where he went for travel. For the Japan, this ancient city could evoke all sorts of feelings, but for him, the things that had happened in this city and the traces left behind didn't evoke any particular emotions.

If Jiang Hang really had any ideas, it would simply be to draw some cards in the game as a memento when he visited the former residences or places where certain celebrities had lived.

To avoid any accidents, Jiang Hang kept Conan and the Detective Boys, those kids who loved to court death, by his side, otherwise any signs of recklessness would appear.
