In fact, after realizing that something was wrong with the Suicide Websites they had previously investigated, they quickly abandoned those sites and switched to new ones. They even sent private messages to some of the elderly users on the sites, reminding them of the new sites they were about to switch to.

With Miyano Akemi's perfect cooperation over the past few days, Jiang Hang has actually made a name for himself on one of the websites. Some people have even taken the initiative to contact him through the website's backend, wanting to chat and make connections. He has indeed received the URLs of these new websites, which naturally saves him the trouble of searching for these Suicide Websites in the vast internet again.

The other side is still quite cautious right now, but if Miyano Akemi comes up with a few more suitable aliases to make Jiang Hang more visible, then things should be more stable.

However, Jiang Hang still needs to hurry up a bit.

After all, if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department takes significant action, the people behind these websites might go into hiding for a while after they hear about it, and then reappear once the storm has passed.

If Jiang Hang hasn't infiltrated their ranks by the time they make that choice, who knows how much longer he'll have to wait until the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's crackdown phase ends and he finds an opportunity.

"But being impatient won't help. I can't exactly have Miyano Akemi play multiple roles on the website at the same time and then give me an achievement for killing multiple people in one day."

If it happens too many times, people will start to get suspicious. After all, no matter how capable a person is, they can only abduct a few people at a time at most, and no one can make someone give up everything and choose suicide so quickly.

Jiang Hang understood the principle that haste makes waste.

So Jiang Hang has been chatting with Miyano Akemi every day with two or three different IPs, showing up online as aliases from all over the country, and each time the luring lasts no less than five days, and it's not impossible to create a script that lasts for several months.

When the weekend came, Jiang Hang took Koharu Yoshino Gunma Prefecture — Shizuka Sakaki didn't go this time because the detective show that Jiang Hang had recorded last time had officially aired the night before last.

The Spider Mansion case is a complex case involving multiple issues, and such cases that can involve everything are naturally more likely to get higher viewership.

As for Shizuka Sakaki, who received Jiang Hang's full support, she immediately gained considerable popularity online thanks to her impeccable makeup and excellent professional skills. It is said that some people have already begun to call Shizuka Sakaki a once-in-a-century beautiful girl detective.

In addition, Shizuka Sakaki also has another identity as a voice actress. Although she does not have a major work yet, the Ultraman production team took the opportunity to release a promotional video of Shizuka Sakaki voicing a monster before it was even broadcast, which immediately made countless netizens exclaim about the contrast.

In short, the Ultraman production team gained some popularity even before the show aired, and Shizuka Sakaki, aspiring voice actress, was noticed by many agencies and animation directors who invited her to audition for certain roles.

Although Shizuka Sakaki had previously rejected directors who wanted to use her to ride on Jiang Hang's popularity, this time, among those who contacted her, there were also people who genuinely valued her voice-changing ability. After selecting a few suitable animation production teams, Shizuka Sakaki decided to give it another try.

Therefore, this trip to Gunma Prefecture was only taken by him and Koharu Yoshino.

Now, sitting in the passenger seat Koharu Yoshino's heart was racing.

"Boss... could you drive a little slower? I... I'm starting to panic," she said nervously, gripping the handrail inside the Jiang Hang.

Imagine how flustered she must be to be someone who's used to being called by name and now has to obediently call her "boss."

Koharu Yoshino is genuinely scared right now.

When she first joined the firm, Jiang Hang always had her drive. He was usually very steady when he drove, though not slow, but his driving was definitely safe.

Compared to Jiang Hang at that time, Koharu Yoshino even wondered if she had a bit of a talent for driving.

Who knew that on the way to Gunma Prefecture, Jiang Hang seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

After driving the car out of Tokyo and onto a less congested off-road, the car's speed practically doubled instantly.

This isn't driving, this is showing off driving skills and racing!

Even as she was passing a downhill bend, Koharu Yoshino life.

The car feels quite stable inside, but outside it's almost touching the edge of a cliff, and you might even feel like you're about to fly off the road at any moment during a high-speed drift. That's the real contrast!

Seeing that even the passenger in the passenger seat Koharu Yoshino, seemed unable to withstand the high speeds of the intermediate riding, Jiang Hang, concerned about the physical and mental well-being of his employees, naturally stopped driving fast.

Anyway, after he finishes investigating this case, he'll go to Mount Akina a few more times to experience the feeling of going around the drainage ditch and the famous Five-Hairpin Turn, and that'll be enough for him.

With the car parked on the side of the road, Jiang Hang gave Koharu Yoshino time to recover.

Koharu Yoshino's performance was quite good; her experience at the agency over the past few months has been effective.

At least she didn't vomit on the spot after parking.

Judging from the way she wiped her forehead, she probably wouldn't dare to ride in Jiang Hang's car for a while after this incident.

The feeling of dancing on the edge of a cliff, just a hair's breadth away, is incredibly thrilling.

Although Koharu Yoshino's ideal has always been to become a special person, it seems that racing is probably out of the question now.

Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Hang with some curiosity.

Since Jiang Hang has such good driving skills, why didn't we see it in him before?

"Actually, I personally respect traffic rules quite a bit. It's just that Gunma Prefecture is a bit different. Among all the prefectures in Japan, it is one of the regions with the most intense racing atmosphere, so I was a little itchy to race."

Listening to Jiang Hang's explanation, although Koharu Yoshino felt that it was just Jiang Hang talking nonsense, she was still somewhat interested in this so-called racing range.

Before coming to Gunma, Jiang Hang had naturally conducted some research on the situation there.

What can be confirmed is that the racing atmosphere in Gunma is indeed quite strong, with various racing teams and talented drivers emerging one after another.

"I only used less than 60% of my strength today. After this investigation is over, I plan to give it my all and challenge Mount Akina, the most famous mountain in Gunma Prefecture."

Even without considering racing, Mount Akina is one of the most famous mountains in Gunma Prefecture, and many schools in Gunma even include it in their school songs.

When Jiang Hang briefly mentioned the mountain road racing to Koharu Yoshino immediately backed down again.

If Jiang Hang really wanted to race, she would absolutely not sit in the passenger seat.

There's not much of a problem if you just look at it from the roadside.

Looking at the expression on Koharu Yoshino's face, Jiang Hang could more or less guess what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems his performance just now really scared the other party.

This is nothing. His intermediate Riding Skill is completely useless on the AE86, which means he can't unleash the true power of the skill.

Besides, Conan also has Toru Amuro, whose driving skills have reached a level of perfection. He's already using real cars to perform the same skills that appeared in Let's & Go!!, and there are some maneuvers that even Jiang Hang, driving his AE86, isn't confident he can pull off.

If Koharu Yoshino were to ride in Toru Amuro's car, wouldn't she just faint on the spot?

It seems that Koharu Yoshino still has a lot to improve.

After muttering this to himself, Jiang Hang continued driving.

This time, he didn't show off his skills; he simply drove the car to their destination—the 'Aoiya Inn' located on the edge of the Togami Forest.

This is also the closest hotel to this suicide hotspot that has emerged in recent years.

The hotel owner must be the person who knows best how the message about this suicide hotspot arose.

Perhaps this rumor was deliberately fabricated by the business owner to attract customers?

Of course, these are just Jiang Hang's baseless speculations.

To Jiang Hang's surprise, shortly after his car stopped at the parking lot of the Aoiya Inn, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Is this the Aoiya Inn? It looks pretty good. I wonder what the service is like. I hope it won't disappoint."

"Honestly, we're here to investigate a case, Dad, don't start thinking about resting now!"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Hang looked at Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mori not far away with some surprise.

Of course, there's also the famous Shinigami Elementary Schooler Conan, the Grim Reaper.

What a coincidence!

After mentioning the Suicide Website to Conan, he didn't really expect Conan to provide any clues. After all, Conan was currently living under someone else's roof, and whatever cases he encountered depended on what cases Kogoro Mouri could handle.

Therefore, Jiang Hang did not tell Conan about the suicide forest.

Unexpectedly, Kogoro Mouri has once again brought Conan here by sheer coincidence.

"So, has another case occurred here, and it's a murder, no less?"

Jiang Hang muttered this to himself, then walked over and greeted Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mori in a very open and generous manner.

"It's you! You didn't come here because you received the same case as us, did you?" Kogoro Mouri's attitude towards his fellow detectives was generally not very friendly, unless the other party was of the opposite sex.

As for Jiang Hang, a fellow resident of Beika City who lived in the same area as him, Kogoro Mouri naturally had even less affection for him.

It's worth noting that recently, thanks to the mysterious title of "Sleeping Kogoro," he has gradually gained considerable fame in various places and can now be considered a famous detective.

But coincidentally, less than a kilometer away from his Mori Detective Agency, there was an even more famous Pioneer Detective Agency. Jiang Hang, a rookie detective whose debut time was less than a fraction of his, was already much more famous than him.

Ironically, many of these deductions were made by Jiang Hang in front of him.

If the client really invited both Jiang Hang and Kogoro Mouri to come together, then Kogoro Mouri himself wouldn't be confident of taking control of the case from this client.

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's question, Jiang Hang shook his head frankly. "I only came here to investigate the situation of this suicide forest for some personal reasons. I did not receive any commission myself."

Knowing that Jiang Hang had no cases, Kogoro Mouri immediately laughed, "What? You should have said so earlier! Since you're interested in this Suicide Forest, I'll help you look for it after I've solved my client's case. As soon as I take action, I'll be able to find out the truth immediately!"

Ran Mori tugged at her father's sleeve, then stepped forward and apologized to Jiang Hang somewhat apologetically. "That's just my father's personality, Jiang Hang, don't take it too seriously."

At that moment, another young man whom Jiang Hang had never seen before suddenly appeared behind Kogoro Mouri.

"What? You're the famous Eagle-Eyed Detective Jiang Hang? Can I get your autograph? Wait, something's not right. I just saw you on TV yesterday, and you didn't look like this at all. Are you some imposter who popped up out of nowhere?!"

Chapter 461: Chapter 457: The Long-Haired Corpse Whose Time of Death Was Disguised?

Since Jiang Hang chose to appear on television in a disguised form, he must have already anticipated that his clients might react in this way when he goes out to handle cases in the future.

Jiang Hang did this for a simple reason: he didn't want too many people to know about his image; it was simply his personality.

Even with his disguise skills, which could fool over 99% of the people in the world, he certainly wouldn't think of sticking a fake skin on his face if he could sunbathe in his original form.

Besides, while a detective's fame might bring more cases, it's not necessarily a good thing for a detective.

Whether they are criminals who have not yet committed crimes or criminals who have already committed crimes, once they realize that there is a famous detective by their side, they will only act more cautiously, making it more difficult for others to find clues to the case than usual.

In fact, to avoid their flaws being discovered by those famous detectives, they might even directly target the detectives.

For example, Kogoro Mouri became a household name as a detective in the later stages of the manga, and he could be recognized wherever he went, which naturally brought them a lot of danger.

If you removed their protagonist aura, who knows how many times they would have died.

Even if Jiang Hang wasn't afraid of these things, he didn't want to cause himself any trouble just because of his face.

At this moment, Jiang Hang looked at the young man behind Kogoro Mouri who looked just as unreliable as Kogoro Mouri, curious about his identity.

Kogoro Mouri wasn't keen on answering Jiang Hang's question, but Ran Mori kindly answered for him, "This is Officer Misao Yamamura, a police officer from Gunma Prefecture. We met him in the Togami Forest and then came here in his car."

Misao Yamamura?

The name Jiang Hang sounded somewhat familiar.

Before time travel, when I was watching Conan on short videos, it seemed like there really was such a guy.

Although he doesn't appear many times in the Conan manga, he is still quite well-known within Conan manga.

This guy isn't good at anything else. He has absolutely no talent for reasoning, and as a police officer, he's unusually timid and cowardly in some supernatural places. But he's really lucky.

He should still be an Assistant Inspector at the moment.

After interacting with Conan a few times, he became a genuine police inspector thanks to Conan's help in solving cases, although the decisive factor was actually his professional status.

As mentioned before, Japan police are divided into professional, semi-professional, and non-professional groups.

Non-professional officers, like Inspector Megure, rise step by step from ordinary police officers, honing their skills on the front lines of cases for more than ten or twenty years, and finally reaching the position of inspector is the end of their career. In fact, most non-professional police officers may not even be promoted to inspector before retirement.

Take, for example, the protagonist of the famous crime drama Furuhata Ninzaburo. He solved countless mysterious murder cases during his police career, but in the end, he was only an Assistant Inspector.

This is a unique feature of Japan: no matter how outstanding an individual's abilities are or how many merits they have made, at most they can only slightly accelerate their promotion, but they cannot break this rule.

As for the professional police officers, they start as Assistant Inspectors and, after a year of assessment, can become inspectors. Their starting point is already the highest rank that Inspector Megure, a non-professional police officer, can reach in his lifetime.

Misao Yamamura's ability to become a police inspector at such a young age, even in Gunma Prefecture, might seem less prestigious than a police inspector in the Metropolitan Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. However, if Misao Yamamura were to be transferred to Tokyo someday, his rank would remain unchanged. This is similar to Hyoe Kuroda, who appeared later in Conan. He was initially the head of the Investigation Division One in Nagano Prefecture, but was later transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to continue serving as the head of the Investigation Division One.

Therefore, although it may sound unbelievable, Misao Yamamura is indeed one of only about ten "professional elites" in all of Japan each year.

It's no wonder that people outside say all Japan police officers are useless and incompetent when it comes to someone who has almost no sense of reasoning and whose role in cases is just to make jokes.

Misao Yamamura isn't very famous yet. If he were to be exposed in public in the future, people might suspect that there's some kind of shady dealing involved in the professional group's assessment.

Of course, these are all speculations made by Jiang Hang based on the criticisms of Misao Yamamura by those content creators in his previous life.

You have to see a person's true abilities for yourself to know.

Since Misao Yamamura can become an elite member of the professional group, he should at least have some expertise in certain areas.

Who knows, maybe the other party is actually a master of playing dumb to outsmart others?

With this in mind, Jiang Hang put aside his inner complaints and began to demonstrate his disguise skills to this police elite.

To be precise, it should just be a makeup technique.

He wouldn't go so far as to create a fake human skin just to prove his identity to a policeman.

His makeup skills alone are enough to prove his ability.

Sure enough, after seeing Jiang Hang simply reach into his pocket, take out some powder, pat it on his face, and gently pinch it to make some simple adjustments to his appearance, Misao Yamamura's exclamations of surprise never stopped.
