Did I Really Steal Conan's Grim Reaper Aura? / The Falling Corpse!

Although he wasn't particularly interested in traveling, since he was already out, going to Osaka for a couple more days to enjoy the local cuisine seemed like a good idea, and it would also make up for the time he had spent solving the case.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang waved his hand and decided to take his assistant and the Miyano Sisters to Osaka for two days after their three-day trip to Kyoto.

Of course, this time there's no issue with company employees.

It was already troublesome enough that the employees of several companies had to get together for a team building trip, and adding Osaka would probably require a lot of changes to the itinerary. He didn't want to be gossiped about by the management of those companies late at night.

Similarly, the Detective Boys kids also had to go back to school after playing outside for three days. After all, their leave period was over, and they couldn't delay the children's studies any longer. Even Conan was no exception.

Although Heiji Hattori really didn't want to get too close to Jiang Hang right now, Kazuha Toyama took the initiative to extend an invitation, and Jiang Hang readily accepted. So, he could only force a smile and welcome Jiang Hang and the others to Osaka together.

Miyano Shiho, on the other hand, felt uneasy for some reason.

Given Jiang Hang's mysterious ability to cause cases wherever he goes, could it be that their sudden change of direction to Osaka means they'll also encounter some troublesome cases Osaka?

Of course, she only thought these things to herself, after all, she was still a scientist who believed in science.

So, after their three-day trip to Kyoto, and watching the employees of those companies fly back to Tokyo, Jiang Hang and his group turned to take the Shinkansen to Osaka, Japan's second-largest city.

Chapter 376: Chapter 372: Did I really steal Conan's Death Aura?

On the night they arrived in Osaka, Jiang Hang and his group randomly found a hotel that looked decent and checked in.

As for Heiji Hattori, Jiang Hang defeated him fair and square (?), so since Jiang Hang has come, he, as the host, naturally has to treat Jiang Hang and his group well.

"I've already told my dad about you guys, and they're very happy to see you. After all, you've become quite famous lately," Heiji Hattori said to Jiang Hang, sounding a bit perfunctory. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Osaka police station will even send someone over tomorrow to be your tour guide. Not everyone gets to enjoy that kind of treatment."

"A special advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, you solved a case on the spot while it was being filmed on TV, and just now you solved a serial murder case in Kyoto and caught a member of 'Genji Fireflies' who stole a lot of precious cultural relics and antiques. It's unbelievable that you've only been a detective for a few months."

Heiji Hattori and Shinichi Kudo both officially became detectives and solved cases starting in high school, and it has been more than a year now.

Furthermore, they actually helped the police solve some cases during their junior high school years, so the timeline might be even longer.

Jiang Hang is different. He suddenly appeared like a shooting star a few months ago, and then solved several major cases at an astonishing speed. Coupled with his excellent reputation, he is now considered one of Japan's top detectives.

Even Heiji Hattori's stern father spoke highly of Jiang Hang on the phone.

Jiang Hang was fine with this, but Shizuka Sakaki and the others were somewhat flattered by what they heard.

After all, they now know the identities of Heiji Hattori Kazuha Toyama's fathers.

Heiji Hattori's father is the Superintendent General in Osaka, one of only 20 such elite officers in all of Japan. In Osaka, all the police officers have to obey his orders.

Kazuha Toyama's father was also the Criminal Investigation Department of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and his police rank was only one level lower than Heiji Hattori's father.

To be welcomed by such an important figure, Jiang Hang must have a lot of influence.

Jiang Hang's expression didn't change much in response.

After all, ever since he transmigrated here, one absurd thing after another has happened. His current image at the Black Organization is that of Templar Knight controls the world order. Compared to that, what does it matter if he knows a few high-ranking Japan officials?

All he wants now is to rest and recharge for tomorrow's culinary adventure.

Meanwhile Shizuka Sakaki and the others were in their room discussing and reviewing the mistakes they made in the Genji Fireflies case, trying to avoid repeating the same errors in similar cases in the future.

Judging from their expressions, besides recording Jiang Hang's case-solving process as the "standard answer," they also need to compile a collection of incorrect answers.

Only Miyano Shiho was in her room, gazing at the starry sky outside, lost in thought.

Seeing that her younger sister looked troubled, Miyano Akemi went over and quietly asked her what was wrong.

Miyano Shiho shook her head slightly. Ever since arriving in Osaka, the feeling of oppression in her heart had become increasingly heavy. She always felt that something would happen during their trip to Osaka.

It might even lead to connections with the organization.

But there's no need to tell her about this and make her sister worry.

Moreover, with the disguise skills taught to them by Jiang Hang, as long as they don't show any weakness, even if Gin stands in front of them, he won't be able to tell anything.

In short, she should be careful for now and only go to Jiang Hang when she really discovers any problems.

Thinking about Jiang Hang's abilities calmed Miyano Shiho down a bit.

Jiang Hang was able to break into the organization's laboratory and take her away from the organization's clutches when she was about to take APTX4869, and the organization has not been able to find them since.

The background of the Pioneer Foundation behind Jiang Hang is equally unfathomable. Even if they were to confront the organization head-on, it seemed to her that Jiang Hang's side might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

She was unaware that Jiang Hang had secretly made contact with Vermouth, a traitor within the Black Organization, and even less aware that the Black Organization had almost been wiped out by the Pioneer Foundation decades ago.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't even have the slightest worry right now.

The next day, Jiang Hang got up early as usual to complete his Daily Training routine.

Although these Daily Training can no longer improve his physical fitness, the monetary reward for completing them is still quite tempting. So unless he can't find any free time, Jiang Hang will still set aside forty minutes every day to complete this task.

After jogging for about ten kilometers around the streets near the hotel and completing his daily task, Jiang Hang took a short breather and headed back towards the hotel.

As Jiang Hang walked downstairs at the hotel, he saw Heiji Hattori arriving with Kazuha Toyama on a motorcycle.

"You haven't forgotten to train even after arriving in Osaka? You're really diligent," Heiji Hattori said, looking much better after resting at home for a night. He greeted Jiang Hang first.

"My dad said last night that he wanted to come and meet you in person, but because there seems to be a new murder case in Osaka these past two days, he went to the police station early this morning for a meeting. I guess he won't be able to come until he's done there," Heiji Hattori explained simply, then shrugged. "Even the guide we were supposed to meet will probably have to wait until the police station meeting is over before he can come."

Kazuha Toyama quickly added, "However, we can go and take a look at some nearby places first. Tsutenkaku Tower is not far away, which is also a famous building in Osaka, and its status is similar to that of Tokyo Tower."

Once on someone else's turf, Jiang Hang naturally followed the host's arrangements in everything. However, he was more concerned about the case than anything else.

How come a murder case occurred in Osaka Osaka yesterday?

Thinking about how the number of murder cases kept increasing even without Conan around, while the number of cases at the Mouri Detective Agency had decreased significantly, could it be that he really stole Conan's Shinigami Elementary Schooler god aura?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This must just be a coincidence.

Moreover, even Heiji Hattori only mentioned the case casually, without showing any urge to investigate it. This case definitely has nothing to do with their trip to Osaka!

Chapter 377: Chapter 373: The Fallen Corpse!

The name Tsutenkaku Tower sounds like the name of a pavilion, but it is actually an observation tower, just like Tokyo Tower.

At 100 meters tall, it is naturally not as tall as Tokyo Tower, but the view is still quite expansive. As a landmark building in Osaka, you can take in a large part of Osaka from the top of the tower.

Although Jiang Hang, this unromantic man, was only thinking about whether he should come over to get a bird's-eye view when no one was around at night, and also to speed up his progress on the feather quest in this new map.

But Shizuka Sakaki and the other girls still had a lot of fun at Tsutenkaku Tower.

If Heiji Hattori could only act as a half-baked tour guide in Kyoto, then in Osaka, even an average tour guide probably couldn't compare to Heiji Hattori, who knew every street and even every building in Osaka like the back of his hand.

Just like Conan, who has the map of Tokyo memorized, Heiji Hattori also knows the entire map of Osaka by heart.

On the recommendation of Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, Shizuka Sakaki also solemnly visited the Tsutenkaku Tower to pray to the god of fortune who is said to help people pass exams, probably hoping to be selected in the next voice actor audition.

"Later I'll take you to Kuromon Market for lunch. It's a hub for Osaka's culinary delights, and you'll find authentic flavors you've never tasted in Tokyo. In the afternoon, we can visit Tennoji Zoo, and tomorrow we'll go to Osaka Castle Museum. If we still have time, we can also go to a shopping center in Osaka and buy you some Osaka specialties to take back..."

Heiji Hattori Jiang Hang spoke eloquently to Jiang Hang about the sightseeing plans he had arranged, and it was clear that as a native of Osaka, he had great confidence in his city.

Jiang Hang waved his hand at Heiji Hattori through the conversation, saying, "Alright, alright, you should tell these things to the girls. I just need to follow you these next couple of days. You don't need to tell me the specific arrangements."

Seeing Jiang Hang's easygoing expression, Heiji Hattori wanted to say something more, determined to let Jiang Hang experience the charm of Osaka.

A phone call interrupted what he was about to say.

After answering the phone, Heiji Hattori, nodded a few times, told them their current location, and then hung up.

"The 'entourage' my dad found for you has arrived, and they even came in a police car to pick you up. Isn't that pretty good treatment?"

Hearing Heiji Hattori's words, Jiang Hang raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Is it some kind of custom in Osaka to send a police car to greet guests?

However, with the arrival of the police guide, Jiang Hang quickly learned what was going on.

He was a young detective with a buzz cut, wearing glasses, and looking even more honest and simple than Takagi Wataru.

"I'm sorry, I was delayed by a meeting and only just got here now."

The young police officer gave Jiang Hang a brief self-introduction. "Hello, Advisor Jiang, I am Yusuke Sakata from the Investigation Division One of the Higashishiri Precinct of the Osaka Police Department. I am here to receive you on the instructions of Superintendent General Hattori."

Jiang Hang shook hands with the young detective, Sakata, but as they shook hands, he seemed to smell a very faint scent of blood on the man.

The smell of blood was very faint. If Jiang Hang hadn't possessed the blood of an assassin and his physical abilities hadn't already surpassed those of ordinary people, making him almost as powerful as Makara, the Greece demigod from Assassin's Creed, and given that the two had been in close proximity when they shook hands, Jiang Hang might not have been able to detect the smell of blood on the other person.

Jiang Hang didn't think much of it. After all, the officer in front of him, Officer Sakata, was a detective from the Investigation Division One, a front-line detective who dealt with murder and kidnapping cases every day. It was normal for him to have some blood on him.

He usually interacts most with Takagi Wataru and Inspector Megure, and they sometimes have that smell when they come back from crime scenes, so there's nothing strange about it.

Heiji Hattori then directly questioned Officer Sakata in front of Jiang Hang: "You must have prepared the car, right? I told you last night that there are nine people in total, including us and you, who is at Level 4."

Officer Sakata nodded affirmatively. "Of course, as you instructed, I borrowed the best police car from the station!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hang naturally understood that all of this was deliberately arranged by Heiji Hattori.

"You really intend to let us travel Osaka your police cars?" Jiang Hang's lips twitched. Heiji Hattori was truly a genius to think of using police cars to pick up guests.

Heiji Hattori, however, chuckled and scratched the back of his head, completely unconcerned. "It's okay, it's okay. What's wrong with riding in a police car? I haven't done anything wrong anyway. As long as I'm upright, why should I care about anything else?"

"I've been riding in police cars since I was a child, and I'm still doing fine, aren't I?"

But to be honest, even though he often has to deal with the police, the feeling of nine people sitting in a police car converted from a small passenger vehicle, with several people sitting in seats that allow them to look at each other like prisoners being transported, was quite novel, even for Jiang Hang.

Even Kazuha Toyama felt a little awkward when she got into the police car and looked at the girls sitting upright opposite her.

She immediately turned her anger towards Heiji Hattori was sitting in the passenger seat and laughing, and scolded him, "Heiji, what do you mean by this? Even if you don't have a car at home that can fit so many people, you can just rent one. By using this car to give us a ride, people on the street will think we are criminals who have been arrested by you!"

"And does your uncle even know you're doing this? If he finds out you've used a police car without permission, you'll probably get another beating when you get back."

However, even now, Heiji Hattori's mindset remains quite calm.

"Don't worry, Jiang Hang is a special advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so he's practically one of us. Besides, Genji Fireflies has committed quite a few thefts in Osaka over the past few years."

"Jiang Hang has arrested the members of that gang, and now that he's in Osaka, it's only natural that we should be a little more welcoming to him."

"As for the onlookers, they're just watching the show; you'll get used to it eventually."

"To be honest, this car is a brand new one that was only assigned to the Higashijiri Police Station in the second half of this year. The people at the station cherish it and have hardly ever let it go on any missions. This time, they only lent it out because of Jiang Hang."

Jiang Hang didn't take Heiji Hattori's nonsense to heart.

Like Conan, Heiji Hattori appears to be a righteous and upright protagonist on the surface, but once he gets to know people, he will occasionally make some harmless jokes or pranks.

Riding in a police car is ultimately just one of Heiji Hattori's perverse hobbies.

And it must be said that driving a police car does have many advantages.

At least there won't be any clueless cars deliberately blocking the way of the police car. Basically, as long as the road conditions aren't too congested, the police car can maintain a relatively stable speed.

After sitting in the car for a while, Jiang Hang, feeling a bit bored, originally wanted to ask Heiji Hattori and the driver Yusuke Sakata, about the new murder case that had occurred in Osaka.

It's fair to say that working as a detective for a long time will inevitably lead to some occupational hazards.

Especially for someone like Jiang Hang, who can earn tens of millions of yen from the system by solving a single case, the concept that cases equal money has become an unconscious reaction for him.

But since this morning, for some reason, Miyano Shiho has been watching his every move, as if she wants to find some flaw in him.

If he were to ask about the murder case now, Miyano Shiho might misunderstand and think he wanted to solve it.

Besides, since they didn't invite him over, they obviously had their own plans, so he shouldn't interfere with the police's actions.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang shook his head, reminding himself that he came to Osaka to relax and enjoy the food, and not to be like Conan who would instinctively rush over to watch every case he heard about.

Jiang Hang wanted to avoid the case, but the case wouldn't actively avoid Jiang Hang.

Led by Heiji Hattori and Officer Sakata, Jiang Hang sampled Osaka's local udon noodles, takoyaki, and a traditional snack called "Okonomiyaki."

The accident happened at the time when they left the Okonomiyaki shop.

"Officer Sakata, are you really not going to eat with us?" As they left the restaurant, Koharu Yoshino, who was walking in front, asked Yusuke Sakata, who was sitting in the car waiting for them, somewhat embarrassed.

As a foodie, Koharu Yoshino has been enjoying herself to the fullest in Kyoto and Osaka these past few days.

After visiting three restaurants and tasting the most authentic Osaka cuisine, her belly is now quite bulging.

However, she was still thinking about Yusuke Sakata, who had taken them all over Osaka. This dutiful police officer used the excuse that he was only there to receive them, and after dropping Jiang Hang and her group off at the hotel, he sat alone in the car waiting for them to finish their meal. It was almost noon at the hotel, and the police officer still hadn't had a hot meal.

Jiang Hang originally wanted to pack a meal for the other person, but the other person politely declined, saying that they were not hungry yet.

"It's alright, I'll figure something out if I get really hungry. My most important job right now is to take care of you all... By the way, since you've just eaten, how about we take a short walk around here to digest a bit before we drive to the next location?" Yusuke Sakata suggested with a smile.

The girls, who were quite full, had no objections. But just then, passersby on the side of the road suddenly exclaimed in surprise as they looked up.

In an instant, the danger-predicting ability brought by his Mind's Eye made Jiang Hang, who had just reached the car door, suddenly look up. Then, after seeing the gradually growing dark shadow above his head, his pupils quickly shrank, and he turned around to protect Shizuka Sakaki behind him with his back.

"Bang!!--"
