A Chance Encounter with Heiji Hattori

He came to Kyoto for a vacation. If he came across some minor cases, it wouldn't be a problem to handle them. But he didn't want to encounter a murder case during his vacation.

However, one thing surprised him: Shizuka Sakaki and the others had somehow gotten together with Miyano Shiho and the others.

Although Miyano Shiho is indeed the same age as Shizuka Sakaki and the others, one is one of the heroines of a youth anime, and the other is the "bitter and resentful" second female lead in a detective manga. Seeing these people walking together, Jiang Hang couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.

However, things are pretty good as they are now. If Miyano Shiho can improve her relationship with Shizuka Sakaki and the others, he won't have to worry about Miyano Shiho staying in the lab every day like an autistic scientist.

Jiang Hang was now walking at the back of their tour group, keeping an eye on the Detective Boys kids to keep them from running around, while chatting with Conan.

"Are your Ran and Uncle Mori still in Tokyo?"

"Uncle Mori is going to Yoko Okino's concert, so he's staying at home," Conan shrugged. "Ran said she had to take care of Uncle Mori, so she didn't come over."

Similar to Jiang Hang, Conan wasn't very interested in these ruins either. Their conversation quickly shifted to the Black Organization and the two FBI agents who had recently arrived in Japan.

"I never expected that Jodie Starling would be an FBI agent," Conan remarked, but also seemed somewhat puzzled. "If that's the case, why did she become a teacher at Teitan High School?"

At first, Conan thought the other party was someone sent by the Black Organization to investigate his disappearance, but since the other party appeared with Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend, the FBI agent, this suspicion could basically be ruled out.

But this led to a host of new problems arising in Conan's mind.

Shuichi Akai left the Black Organization two years ago, and in the past two years he should have regained his FBI identity. Why would he suddenly return to Japan at this time?

Conan wasn't too concerned about Shuichi Akai returning to Japan with his ex-girlfriend, but the reason why Jodie Starling appeared at Teitan High School was something that made him think deeply.

"The explosion at the pharmaceutical company where Miyano Shiho works is no small news. According to Miyano Shiho herself, she has been working there for the Black Organization since she returned to Japan. If Shuichi Akai follows the news here, he will definitely know about this."

"Furthermore, when Miyano Akemi was sent to rob a bank, she Shuichi Akai a farewell email. It's not surprising that Shuichi Akai wants to return to Japan to find out about the fate of Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho," Jiang Hang said.

"As for being a teacher at Teitan High School... perhaps they think there are people from the Black Organization Teitan High School there. The FBI definitely has more intelligence than we do, and nobody knows what they really know."

Jiang Hang didn't reveal Vermouth's situation, which was an unspoken understanding between him and Vermouth, but it would be alright for him to remind Conan.

"Are there people from that organization inside Teitan High School?" Conan pondered carefully. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Jiang Hang, and he asked with some suspicion, "Have you found out something again? I feel like you've uncovered quite a few clues recently."

Seeing Conan suddenly become so sensitive, Jiang Hang couldn't help but spread his hands. "Actually, it's not an important clue."

"I recently got an informant, he's an undercover cop, you should know about that, right?" Jiang Hang had mentioned the Infernal Affairs incident to Conan, so Conan quickly nodded to indicate that he knew.

"When he was a police cadet, he had a few close friends, and one of them became a public security police officer after graduating from the police academy. Later, he was also sent by the Public Security Bureau to become an undercover agent." Jiang Hang looked at Conan. "That's right, just like you thought. The organization that police officer went undercover in was the Black Organization, and he also obtained a liquor name as a code name in the Black Organization."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Conan's eyes widened, and even his breathing became rapid.

"You mean, you've already made contact with the mole within that organization?"

Jiang Hang neither admitted nor denied this. "In short, I can indeed obtain some information from the Black Organization, but it won't be easy to overthrow the Black Organization with this information."

Jiang Hang wasn't lying. Vermouth was indeed infiltrating Teitan High School under the identity of Araide Tomohaki Niide, and Toru Amuro was indeed an undercover agent sent by the Public Security Police to the Black Organization. Although he obtained the Black Organization information from Vermouth, he didn't say who he got the information from.

It's just that the things he deliberately omitted in the middle caused Conan to misunderstand.

Then Jiang Hang casually mentioned some information he had obtained from Vermouth, such as which traitors the organization had previously purged and what actions they were planning to take recently. Even if Conan were told this, he wouldn't get too excited.

If Jiang Hang were to tell Conan directly about Gin's recent mission, Jiang Hang would be genuinely worried that Conan would impulsively rush over to stop him.

It's best to leave the teasing and playing with Gin to him.

"You've actually investigated that organization this far?" Conan couldn't help but sigh. Since he met Jiang Hang had been involved in almost everything related to the Black Organization. Now, he's basically done nothing, but Jiang Hang has already found an undercover agent within the organization and started cooperating with him.

"That's all," Jiang Hang shook his head. "What we know now is that there have been undercover agents from the FBI and the Japan Public Security Bureau inside the Black Organization, as well as those who were eliminated because their identities were exposed. In other words, not only us, but many intelligence organizations around the world are investigating the Black Organization. Although their purposes are not the same, and they don't even know each other's identities, one thing is very clear."

Jiang Hang held up one finger. "So many intelligence organizations are in contact with the Black Organization, and the Black Organization itself knows a little about it. However, over the years, the Black Organization has continued to secretly develop its own power, and there may even be the tacit approval of those intelligence organizations involved."

Conan nodded heavily.

These intelligence organizations are not to be trifled with; there must be a reason why this criminal organization, the Black Organization, has been able to exist for so long.

He seemed to want to say something more, but Jiang Hang interrupted him directly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We're here on vacation, so this isn't the time to discuss this. Let's talk about the Black Organization when we get back," Conan was just too sensitive; once the topic of the Black Organization came up, he couldn't stop talking about it.

"By the way, remember to be careful. We're here for vacation, not to investigate a case. You'd better control your skills. I don't want my employees to be having a happy vacation while I, as their boss, have to suffer running around the city collecting evidence."

Hearing Jiang Hang's complaints, Conan couldn't help but retort, "Don't talk about me like that. I heard Mu Chun complaining to me about you just a few days ago, saying that wherever she goes with you, something bad happens."

Jiang Hang's lips twitched. Why was Koharu Yoshino telling Conan these things for no reason?

"That was just an accident I happened to have once in a while. It's much less likely than you encountering a murder case every few days."

"I... it was just an accident, it wasn't something I wanted to happen to," Conan's momentum noticeably weakened after mentioning the incident.

Just as Jiang Hang was about to press his advantage, a sudden exclamation came from a nearby alley.

"Robbers! Robbers!"

Upon hearing the exclamation, Jiang Hang and Conan reacted almost instantly.

In a nearby alley, a middle-aged man riding an electric scooter had just snatched a wallet from a woman in a kimono and was now heading in their direction.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang and his group of tourists, the middle-aged man shouted menacingly from the car, "If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

Upon suddenly encountering this situation, the people in front of Jiang Hang instinctively moved to the side of the road to avoid being hit by the robber's car.

Conan reacted quickly, instinctively taking the soccer ball out of the soccer belt invented by Professor Agasa.

However, Jiang Hang was even faster than him.

Before Conan, the soccer hero, could take out a soccer ball to launch a guided shot at the robber, Jiang Hang simply took a few steps forward, stood in front of the robber, and before the robber could react, he forcefully pulled the robber off the car!

The whole process was completed in an instant, and even the robber himself did not expect that he would be pulled off the car so easily.

After pulling the other person out of the car, Jiang Hang immediately grabbed them and pinned them to the ground.

Immediately, the robber who had been uttering threats began to cry out in pain and beg for mercy on the ground.

Seeing that people were starting to gather around, Conan, without anyone noticing, shoved the soccer ball he had just taken out back into place.

As the robber cried out in pain on the ground, the woman in the kimono whose wallet had been stolen came over. After retrieving her wallet from the robber, she quickly thanked Jiang Hang.

"Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, you should be fine," Jiang Hang smiled at the other person.

Then he looked at the tour guide who had just come from the front of the group and whose face looked rather grim.

Jiang Hang waved his hand. "It's just a small matter. You can continue leading the team to the next attraction. I'll call the police here and wait for them to arrive before I come to find you."

The tour guide then focused his gaze on the face of the robber captured by Jiang Hang. After a slight hesitation, he leaned close to Jiang Hang and whispered a question to him.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, do we need the Himeshiro Group's help to resolve this matter?"

This travel agency was recommended by Sakura Himeshiro and Jiang Hang before, so it's no surprise that the tour guide is also part of the Himeshiro Group.

Sakura Himeshiro originally recommended this travel agency to reduce unnecessary trouble during her trip. Now that this kind of thing has happened, she naturally stepped forward to ask Jiang Hang if they should ask Himeshiro Group to help handle it.

Jiang Hang glanced at the tour guide who had made the suggestion, then shook his head.

"Let's just forget about it and leave it to the police to handle."

Chapter 348: Chapter 346: An Unexpected Heiji Hattori

If the Himeshiro Group were to handle this matter, Jiang Hang knew with a grain of salt that it would simply involve beating the robber to a pulp and giving him a lesson he would never forget.

Although it sounds straightforward, Jiang Hang prefers to solve problems in the normal way most of the time.

Just like Jiang Hang's current combat strength is already among the top in this world, but he doesn't usually only think about using force to deal with enemies.

After this little incident, Shizuka Sakaki and the other girls originally wanted to stay and wait for the police to arrive with Jiang Hang. However, Jiang Hang said it was okay, so in the end only Shizuka Sakaki stayed as his assistant, while the others continued to follow the tour guide to the next attraction.

Jiang Hang has now figured out the identity of the woman in the kimono who was robbed. Her name is Tae Yamakura, and she is the owner of a teahouse nearby.

The woman in a kimono next to her, with white paint on her face, is Suzu Chiga from the teahouse.

They were probably heading to a nearby teahouse to prepare for their daily opening. Since they were wearing kimonos without any pockets, they usually just kept their wallets in their hands. Over the years, nothing had ever gone wrong, but no one expected something like this to happen today.

When they heard that Jiang Hang had brought over a hundred employees from his company to Kyoto for a special trip, they, despite being the victims themselves, actually apologized to Jiang Hang: "We are so sorry to have made you witness such a scene. In fact, Kyoto is usually very safe, and robberies are extremely rare. We hope it won't affect you."

As she said this, she took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Hang, as if to say that Jiang Hang and the others could visit her teahouse anytime they had time.

Jiang Hang's enjoyment of the trip was naturally unaffected. He could easily complete a mission and earn several million yen by simply taking a stroll around and subduing a robber. In addition, with the "remote crime-solving subsidy" from the system, such an ordinary robbery could bring Jiang Hang more than ten million yen in income. It could be said that he instantly earned back the expenses he had spent on organizing this trip for hundreds of people.

He can make these kinds of deals so easily that doing more of them won't dampen his enthusiasm.

Moreover, he subconsciously believed that Conan, who suddenly unleashed his powers, was the one who caused all of this to happen.

For some reason, Jiang Hang had a feeling that he might be in trouble soon. Although it was just an ordinary robbery, there might be some major case happening around him or Conan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, no matter how careful you are, cases will still come chasing after you when you go out with Conan.

Seeing Jiang Hang's Jiang Hang sigh, Shizuka Sakaki, who was standing next to him, looked at Jiang Hang with some concern.

"Jiang Hang, are you alright? When I saw that person rushing over on an electric bike, I was quite worried that you might get hurt."

"If a robber of this level can hurt me, then I might as well quit being a detective," Jiang Hang said, glancing at the robber who was still under his control. Whenever the robber showed the slightest sign of struggling or resisting, Jiang Hang would increase the pressure on his hands, causing the robber to cry out in pain and beg for mercy.

Shizuka Sakaki carefully examined Jiang Hang and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that he hadn't suffered even the slightest injury.

However, Jiang Hang seemed to have thought of something and looked at Shizuka Sakaki with some doubt, "But weren't you at the front of the group? You noticed this guy as soon as he appeared?"

When Jiang Hang suddenly asked her this question, Shizuka Sakaki seemed a little flustered. "Um, um... didn't you always tell us that if we want to become famous detectives, we must always pay attention to everything around us so as not to miss any clues that we shouldn't miss, especially the things behind us? So when I'm walking, I always pay attention to whether there's anything behind me that I might miss."

"Did I say such a thing?" Jiang Hang scratched his face, seemingly unable to recall. After all, he often talked to Shizuka Sakaki and the others about things like "the qualities a famous detective should have." There were some things that Jiang Hang couldn't even repeat after he had already made up his own stories. But since Shizuka Sakaki said that, he must have indeed said something like that.

The police in Kyoto didn't seem to act as quickly as the police in Tokyo. It took Jiang Hang about twenty minutes after he called the police before a few sweaty officers arrived to handle the incident.

After arresting the robbers, they still needed to conduct a brief interrogation of Jiang Hang and the victim.

These were procedures that Jiang Hang all too well. He glanced at the police officers who had rushed over, who were constantly wiping their sweat, and casually asked during the questioning, "You must have just arrived from another scene, right?"

The Kyoto police officers seemed somewhat cautious in response to Jiang Hang's sudden questioning.

"This is a police secret, and we can't just tell anyone."

One of the police officers responded with that statement, and Jiang Hang didn't ask any further questions.

He is an advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so revealing that identity is naturally useful. However, if he reveals his identity and finds out the details of the case, and it turns out to be a tricky case, then his trip over the next few days will probably be completely ruined.

At this point, it's best to choose the Kyoto police. Even without the help of this third-rate detective from Tokyo, they're sure to be able to solve the case.

Besides, Kyoto is in the Kansai region. If there were any really difficult cases, it would be Heiji Hattori couldn't sit still. With Hattori, a famous detective whose reasoning ability is no less than Conan's, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference whether Jiang Hang goes or not.

After all, Heiji Hattori doesn't need to disguise his identity like Conan does; he has to rely on other people's "cooperation" to solve cases.

But perhaps it was all just a coincidence.

Just as Jiang Hang was thinking that this case could be handed over to Heiji Hattori, and the police officers had finished questioning him and were preparing to take the criminal back to the police station, a somewhat Jiang Hang voice came from behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Jiang Hang? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Kyoto?"

Jiang Hang turned his head and looked at Hattori Heiji, who, apart from his dark skin, Heiji Hattori about 70-80% like Shinichi Kudo and was known as the Osaka Black Chicken. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Hey, what a coincidence! Kyoto isn't some small city, and Heiji Hattori lives in Osaka, right? Although Osaka and Kyoto are next to each other, I just randomly picked a day to come to Kyoto for a trip. How did I end up running into you, a guy whose death aura is almost as strong Conan's?

As for Jiang Hang, after learning that Conan and the Detective Boys would be traveling to Kyoto with them, he already had several expectations for the outcome of this trip.

The best-case scenario is that Conan didn't use his powers, and everyone spent those three days peacefully and returned to Tokyo safely.

The middle level involves Conan using his powers, a case appears around them, Jiang Hang and Conan solve the case together, and then they return to Tokyo.

The more troublesome situation is, of course, the one we're currently facing with Heiji Hattori.

Given Heiji Hattori's personality, that case might not have had anything to do with Jiang Hang, but now that he's run into Heiji Hattori, he might be dragged into it by the other party.

After all, Conan and Heiji Hattori, as long as these two get together to form the "destiny of a great detective", the probability of a case occurring can be said to have exceeded 100%.

However, there is something to be thankful for. At least for now, the case is unlikely to occur in any of his companies, so at least the worst-case scenario hasn't happened yet.

Otherwise, if you take your employees on a trip to win them over and let Miyano Akemi and the others relax, but a murder occurs halfway through the trip, then forget about relaxing; it would be good enough if the morale of the employees didn't waver.

Heiji Hattori naturally had no idea that he was just passing by and casually greeted Jiang Hang, which would result in Jiang Hang having so many random thoughts in his head.

"We came here as tourists and encountered some minor troubles, so we helped resolve them," Jiang Hang said, though he was thinking that he would never ask Hattori Heiji for help. On the surface, he still smiled at Heiji Hattori.

"If I go to Osaka for tourism, I will definitely contact you. I didn't expect you to be in Kyoto now."

Upon seeing Heiji Hattori's arrival, the police officers couldn't help but glance at him.

It's clear that Heiji Hattori is quite famous in the Kansai. After staring at Heiji Hattori, one of the police officers hesitated before asking, "Are you... Heiji Hattori, the high school detective from Osaka?"

When he was recognized, Heiji Hattori wore a smug smile.

However, the next sentence the policeman whispered to his partner made Heiji Hattori's expression turn somewhat subtle.

"He is the son of the Osaka Police Chief and Hattori, and he is very famous in the Kansai region."

Heiji Hattori's lips twitched. The thing he disliked most was when others talked about him and then specifically mentioned his father.
