Needless to say, Miyano Shiho is another example.

The 20-year-old double PhD has all his needs met at the Black Organization except for freedom.

If she had taken the drug and shrunk to become Ai Haibara, that would be fine. But because of Jiang Hang's appearance, she didn't take APTX4869 to shrink, so her personality naturally didn't need to be changed.

Although the girls seemed to get along quite well when they first arrived in Kyoto yesterday, it seems a bit magical that Miyano Shiho could actually become friends with ordinary people like Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino, who grew up in normal environments.

Besides these girls, there will also be staff from Beika Art Museum, Daibao Films and Television, and Yingdu Studio, as well as Himeshiro Group, a long-established yakuza Yakuza in Kyoto.

Even after that, we have to include the Detective Boys, including Conan. Just keeping those kids from doing anything reckless would be a star-level mission in the system's eyes.

With such a chaotic mix of relationships, it would seem abnormal if some friction didn't arise.

Upon being questioned by Koharu Yoshino, Jiang Hang suddenly realized that his company's team building activity had indeed been too hasty, and he should pay more attention to these issues when organizing similar activities next time.

But just as a whole host of troublesome things were flashing through Jiang Hang's mind, Koharu Yoshino quickly shook her head at Jiang Hang.

"No, no, that's not what I meant!"

"Miss Yami and Miss Ai are in charge of the art museum, Miss Himegami's people are in charge of the Eito Studios, Director Mikami is in charge of Daibao Films. Although there are some minor problems that occasionally arise when everyone gets along, overall they get along quite well."

Koharu Yoshino explained to Jiang Hang somewhat cautiously, "Everyone knows that you, Jiang Hang, are still out there working hard to investigate cases and find the murderer, while we are traveling and having fun. It just doesn't feel right, so everyone's enthusiasm for traveling might not be as high."

"After all, no matter what, Jiang Hang, you are our most important pillar of support!"

Chapter 365: Chapter 361: Miyano Shiho's Unhappiness

(I didn't pay attention while writing earlier and mixed up the scenes of Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino. I've made some minor adjustments to the previous chapter. Please Shinichi the chapter or delete and re-download the book to see the new version.)

Hearing what Koharu Yoshino, it was Shizuka Sakaki who first felt a little embarrassed and had a subtle feeling.

To be honest, this case initially had nothing to do with Jiang Hang. It was only when Heiji Hattori asked Jiang Hang if he wanted to get involved that she, out of personal curiosity and a deep-seated "selfish" desire to spend more time alone with Jiang Hang, encouraged him for quite a while.

As a result, she spent the whole day following Jiang Hang around Kyoto, seeing many unique attractions that she hadn't originally planned to visit. She also heard a lot of rumors and secrets related to Minamoto no Minamoto no Yoshitsune from Heiji Hattori, the famous Osaka detective. In addition, there was the secret of the coded map that was related to the missing Buddha statue. Looking back on yesterday, Shizuka Sakaki can say that her experience was quite fulfilling.

She was happy and fulfilled being with Jiang Hang, but now, after hearing what Koharu Yoshino, she realized that the situation seemed to be different this time.

In the past, when Jiang Hang needed an assistant to accompany her when she went out, she would discuss it with Koharu Yoshino in advance. This time she would go, and next time she would go, so the two of them never had any conflicts because of this.

They came with Jiang Hang under the guise of tourism, and the original plan did not include the idea that "Jiang Hang was temporarily taken away to solve a case".

She openly and brazenly "lured" Jiang Hang away for a day, which does seem rather unethical.

Moreover, even excluding potential rivals like Koharu Yoshino, Imai Midori, and even Ms. Masami and Miss Ai, there are probably quite a few employees in Jiang Hang's Jiang Hang who would like to take the opportunity to chat with him more during the trip.

It was Jiang Hang's speed in solving the case that made it nearly complete; he solved it in just one day. If it had taken two more days, or if Jiang Hang had spent his entire three-day holiday investigating the case...

Thinking of this, Shizuka Sakaki shuddered slightly, feeling as if she had been given a second chance at life.

Of course, Jiang Hang was unaware of Shizuka Sakaki's inner thoughts.

To Jiang Hang, what Koharu Yoshino said sounded a little exaggerated and flattering, and he didn't think too much about it.

After all, he hadn't done anything earth-shattering; at most, he had only provided some help to the people around him. So, he didn't hold such an important place in everyone's hearts.

But it must be said that hearing these words from a cute girl Koharu Yoshino is indeed quite refreshing.

Jiang Hang laughed a few times, "Yuno, you really know how to talk. But you guys just have fun, don't worry about me."

"This case is said to be under investigation, but yesterday, under Hattori's guidance, it was actually a different kind of exploration of Kyoto."

Jiang Hang was telling the truth. Yesterday's case-solving had indeed allowed Jiang Hang to find quite a few feathers in Kyoto. If he could spend a few more days there, his feather-collecting mission, which had been stagnant for a long time, would probably be able to move forward another stage.

"Besides, you all know my situation. I won't treat myself badly. You guys will only stay here for a few days at most before going back, but if I haven't had enough fun, I could buy a house here and stay for a few more months without any problem."

Jiang Hang's inhuman words made Conan, who was standing next to him, twitch his lips involuntarily.

Listen to this! Is this something a normal person would say? Your emotional intelligence is even lower than that of Heiji Hattori.

Although Conan himself doesn't really have the right to say such things.

It seems that most famous detectives have similar problems.

Despite being able to keenly perceive problems in other people's emotional situations, she always seems to encounter various issues when it comes to her own emotional matters.

For example, Conan is currently complaining that Jiang Hang has more and more women around him and that their relationships are getting more and more complicated, while his own relationship with Ran is also a mess.

Heiji Hattori is still hung up on his "first love," whom he met once ten years ago, whose name he can't even confirm and whose appearance he can't quite describe.

However, Koharu Yoshino and Shizuka Sakaki were already used to Jiang Hang's laid-back, nouveau riche attitude, and they could only shrug helplessly after hearing Jiang Hang words.

Getting Jiang Hang, this blockhead, to improve in matters of the heart seems like a long time coming.

"Anyway, let's hurry up. There's still more than an hour before the meeting time. I'm thinking of taking a few more photos. Also, the clear water flowing down from the waterfall at Kiyomizu- Kiyomizu-dera Temple is said to make people live longer and become smarter. I have to go there and drink a few more sips." Koharu Yoshino quickly ate her matcha in a few bites, and then pulled Jiang Hang and Shizuka Sakaki into Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

At this time, there were many employees of Jiang Hang's company on Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the streets outside. When they saw Jiang Hang, they greeted him very warmly.

After all, Jiang Hang, the boss, seemed to have disappeared from the group yesterday, except for the very beginning when he was at the very back. This left his employees somewhat puzzled.

These ordinary employees naturally couldn't inquire about their boss's whereabouts, and those who knew what Jiang Hang was doing wouldn't casually reveal it.

Jiang Hang greeted his employees with a somewhat stiff smile on his face.

He has been in this world for several months, but he still hasn't adapted to his current identity and status, and he doesn't consider himself any kind of important person at all.

He was still not quite used to being surrounded and greeted by so many people.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after spotting the Miyano Sisters by the mountain spring at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and quickly walked over to greet them.

"Isn't this the Famous Detective Jiang Hang, who seems to run into cases wherever he goes? Now that he's finally finished with his work, he's remembered us?" Miyano Shiho said to Jiang Hang, somewhat annoyed.

They had clearly agreed that this trip was to accompany her sister to relax. Regardless of whether Miyano Shiho had any other intentions, Jiang Hang unexpectedly turned around and organized a company party, bringing a large group of people over.

If it were just a normal company gathering, that would be fine, but she received a text message from Jiang Hang Kyoto, saying that he had encountered a new case and needed to go to other places to investigate.

What's most infuriating is that Jiang Hang's text message didn't include any invitation for her to join.

Is Jiang Hang looking down on the value of her 20-year-old double doctorate?

Chapter 366: Chapter 362: Jiang Hang's Uncomfort

Jiang Hang never expected that Miyano Shiho's current dissatisfaction mainly stemmed from the fact that he hadn't called the other party along when solving the case.

After all, based on his impression of Miyano Shiho, she didn't seem to have much interest in mystery-solving. Although she appeared quite often in the original work, she mostly just helped Conan by providing some clues.

In addition, Jiang Hang considered that the other party's precious brain to be used specifically for scientific research, and there was no need for him to use his precious brain cells on something as laborious and thankless as reasoning.

But people's personalities always change. Because her older sister didn't sacrifice herself and she didn't feel any pressure, Miyano Shiho is now curious about Jiang Hang's detective life.

Seeing Miyano Shiho's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Jiang Hang assumed that his attitude in sending the text message yesterday might not have been sincere enough.

He should have called Miyano Shiho directly to explain the situation in detail.

After all, when Miyano Shiho suggested he go out for a walk, his main purpose in asking him to come along was to act as a bodyguard for Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho.

Although he didn't fully understand what Miyano Shiho meant, Jiang Hang knew that all he needed to do now was go along with Miyano Shiho.

He gave a slightly awkward laugh, and then explained amidst Miyano Akemi's smile, "It's just that things happened so suddenly. I didn't expect to run into a case while just traveling. But I solved the case and came here right away, didn't I?"

He leaned closer to Miyano Shiho and whispered, "Let's not talk about my business for now. I can just spend a few more days with you in Kyoto. Is your sister feeling any better now?"

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at Jiang Hang: "You still remember my sister? I thought you had completely forgotten about her."

"You brought all the employees from your companies here on this trip. You don't think that you don't need anyone to take care of their food, drinks, and entertainment, do you? Someone as busy as you certainly wouldn't do these things, nor would you do them well. So guess who will end up doing all these troublesome things?"

At this point, Miyano Shiho really wanted to reach out and poke Jiang Hang in the chest, and ask him if his conscience didn't hurt.

Jiang Hang's intention wasn't to let her sister rest and relax at all; he was to keep her busy so she wouldn't have time to think about that man Shuichi Akai.

It's also because her sister doesn't care about these things. These past few days, she's been busy playing around and seems to be in much better shape than before. Otherwise, she really would have gone to Jiang Hang to have a serious talk with him.

Jiang Hang's expression stiffened again. Come to think of it, Koharu Yoshino had mentioned this to him earlier. Sure enough, as the team grows, the things that need to be considered only become more and more complicated.

Given his current rate of development, such situations will only become more and more common in the future.

It seems that after this trip, he will need to recruit a lot more specialized management talent for the company.

He looked at Miyano Akemi to the side, and seemingly sensing the curiosity in her eyes, he apologized and thanked her, saying, "This event was organized in a bit too hastily, and I didn't think things through. You've really worked hard these past few days."

Miyano Akemi gently shook her head. "Actually, it was only the first two days that were a bit troublesome. Today is much better, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play here now."

"Besides, you've helped us sisters so much, and now you've even provided us with a job and a place to live. I still don't know how to thank you enough."

Miyano Akemi was certainly not stupid. Jiang Hang suddenly arranged a team building activity, and the preparations were so rushed.

It seems like Jiang Hang made the decision on a whim, but thinking about it carefully, it would be strange if there wasn't any connection between the two. She had just learned that Shuichi Akai had returned to Japan with his "ex-girlfriend" and Jiang Hang had informed her about traveling to Kyoto.

Because of his own personal matters, Jiang Hang directly dragged hundreds of people from the entire company out for a three-day trip to relax. Miyano Akemi did a quick mental calculation of the expenses for this trip and felt somewhat uneasy.

In comparison, the news of Shuichi Akai's return to Japan didn't bother her as much.

After chatting with the Miyano Sisters for a while, Miyano Shiho finally vented all her complaints and sharp tongue at him, and then she turned back into the quiet, beautiful girl she always was.

It's just that Jiang Hang seems to have a bit too many women around him now.

Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino, his two personal assistants, naturally wouldn't wander off, and Miyano Shiho and the others didn't seem to intend to let Jiang Hang out of their sight any longer.

Later, Imai Midori also joined the "protection" team. If he hadn't been so familiar with the female staff at Daibao Films and Yingdu Photography, he thought those women might have come over to join in the fun.

Surrounded by five beautiful girls with different styles, Jiang Hang was fine when he was talking to Miyano Shiho. But once he noticed, and then saw Conan's amused look, he felt a little uncomfortable.

As an assassin, one must be able to blend into the crowd in the shortest amount of time at any time, becoming the most inconspicuous person among them.

Even if one were a detective, they shouldn't be in the public eye before a case occurs.

His current situation seems far too conspicuous.

Wherever he goes, people look at him with strange eyes, regardless of whether they are employees of his company or not. They might even be thinking to themselves that their boss is really good at playing games.

It was only the appearance of the Detective Boys that relieved him.

These women seemed afraid he might disappear at any moment, so they surrounded him and asked all sorts of questions. He really wasn't good at dealing with these kinds of things.

He felt more relaxed playing with the kids than with them.

He didn't realize that being surrounded by a group of women, and then having a bunch of children around him, would make things even more likely to be misunderstood.

He called out to the simple-minded Genta, who was counting the number of hands on the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, and summoned the group of kids from the Detective Boys over.

"Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, did you have fun these past few days?"

The kids in the Detective Boys naturally had a very high level of affection for Jiang Hang. After all, it's rare to find an adult who treats them to delicious food and fun activities every day and listens to them attentively.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's question, the three of them immediately began to talk at once about what they had seen and heard over the past two days.

Chapter 367: Chapter 363: Unraveling the Outsourcing Mystery

There are no complicated things to do when dealing with kids. Although these little devils in the Detective Boys are precocious and always like to cause trouble, they are still young and haven't been beaten down by society.

If you use the right approach, it's quite easy to get anything out of them.

Jiang Hang only said a few kind words to them, and the simple-minded Genta told them everything about the dream he had last night.

Jiang Hang patted their heads in a very friendly manner. Hmm... Genta's head is round and chubby, so it might feel better to hit it than to hit Conan's head.

Ayumi, upon seeing Conan lounging not far from Jiang Hang, exclaimed with delight, "Ah, Conan, you're finally back! We didn't see you all day yesterday, and everyone thought you'd gotten separated from us. Genta was so worried he almost went to the police."

Mitsuhiko added from the side, "We only found out later when we went to Yuno-neechan to ask about you that you actually went to investigate the case with Brother Jiang Hang."

Genta looked at Conan with some annoyance. "Honestly, you don't even tell us when there's a case. This could be a great opportunity for the Detective Boys to show off in Kyoto! Conan, don't forget you're still a member of the Detective Boys. If this happens again, I'll have to impose internal sanctions on you!"

Upon seeing Conan, the three kids immediately focused their fire on Conan.

Watching these kids interrogate Conan about the details of yesterday's case, and after hearing about the cipher map, they kept pestering Conan, wanting to find out what was on that cipher map.

Speaking of which, the first case the Detective Boys solved involved a coded map containing Maple Leaf Gold Coins, and thanks to Jiang Hang's appearance, the group of kids found the treasure without encountering any danger.

Perhaps they still believe they are really good at solving the riddles in the ciphers.

Under their insistence, Conan glanced at Jiang Hang with a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Hang thought for a moment, then nodded at Conan.

Now that the Genji Fireflies have all been captured, there is no danger in letting them study this cipher map.

Although the Detective Boys kids mostly don't do anything serious, they've provided Conan with a lot of clues for solving cases, so maybe they can actually figure something out.

With Jiang Hang's consent, the Detective Boys kids quickly obtained a copy of the cipher map from Conan.

Then they sat there, holding the cipher map that was full of pictures, and seriously studied and discussed it using the experience they had gained from the last time with the Maple Leaf Gold Coins.
