My Hacking Skills Were Taught by My Kung Fu Teacher / Misao Yamamura's Path to Leveling Up

However, this is also because the first half of Mount Akina does not have many consecutive curves, and the straight section is not short.

In short, the two of them drove all the way to Mount Akina after Fujiwara Bunta, and then drove at a steady pace all the way here. However, when they encountered a series of Five-Hairpin Turn, the former was driving a brand new car that had not been broken in, so for safety reasons, the man had to slow down.

It's estimated that when the car was going around the bend, the other car was probably only going around 30 or 40 kilometers per hour.

On the contrary, the driver of the car behind was much better, so when the other car slowed down, he caught up with it right there and drove the car in front off the cliff without hesitation.

"I remember that from the very beginning, there haven't been any cars with front-end damage driven down Mount Akina."

Jiang Hang has a great memory; if a car with a damaged front end passes by them, he will definitely notice it immediately.

If the car that caused the accident didn't go down the mountain, then it must have crashed into the car in front of it and then at most briefly checked the situation of the car in front of it before turning around and heading back up the same way to avoid being discovered.

Jiang Hang initially thought that this trip would be just a regular racing adventure and wouldn't involve any cases, so he didn't let Altair scout outside but instead had him stay in his car.

Who knew that a case would actually occur?

Without a radar located high up, Jiang Hang could no longer easily ascertain the car's model and its current location as before.

However, even without Altair's help this time, it doesn't mean Jiang Hang is helpless.

Under his observation, some fragments at the scene quickly caught his attention.

Chapter 474: Chapter 470: My hacking skills were taught by Kung Fu Master

What Jiang Hang found were some dark blue paint fragments, which looked like paint scraped off when the two cars collided.

"So, it was a dark blue car that crashed this Mercedes off the cliff and then turned around and drove back?"

There were never any surveillance cameras installed in the area around Mount Akina. If there were, Takumi Fujiwara wouldn't have dared to drive without a license on this road for five or six years when he was only 13 years old, and he wouldn't have gone unnoticed until now.

Therefore, relying on surveillance is no longer an option.

As for reasoning?

To deduce the model of the car driven by the murderer from these paint fragments, unless the car's paint is an extremely rare limited edition, even if Sherlock Holmes were reincarnated, he wouldn't be able to figure out the car's model.

However, to be honest, this kind of case is not too difficult for Jiang Hang, since he already has quite a few clues.

The blue car, with obvious dents on the front, had been there for less than ten minutes since it crashed into the wrecked Mercedes and left the scene.

Because they left via the uphill road, their speed wouldn't have been too fast, and given the winding roads around Mount Akina, the murderer has only traveled a few kilometers in a straight line at most.

At such a short distance, although Altair couldn't be dispatched immediately, sending it to circle around in the sky would be enough to roughly determine the killer's current location.

Jiang Hang originally planned to act swiftly and decisively, since this kind of heinous crime, which seemed to be organized by a large group behind it, and the reward for the commission was usually quite good, and it wouldn't delay their original plans for tonight.

But just as he was about to return to his car to have Altair search for the murderer and take the fragments to Fujiwara Bunta, who had spent his life dealing with cars, to see if he could come up with anything, a phone call from Misao Yamamura made him temporarily put his plans on hold.

On the other end of the phone, Misao Yamamura excitedly said that he was currently in Shibukawa City, not far from Mount Akina, investigating a vehicle theft case with another police inspector. According to him, several luxury cars had been mysteriously stolen in Gunma Prefecture recently, and there was likely a professional gang behind it.

Gunma police haven't found any useful clues yet, but after hearing that a Mercedes-Benz with fake license plates had apparently crashed in Jiang Hang, Misao Yamamura immediately said he would send people over right away.

Shibukawa is not far east of Mount Akina, less than 20 kilometers away. A race car driver like Fujiwara Bunta could get there in ten minutes, but Misao Yamamura is a respectful and law-abiding policeman, so it would be good if he could get there in half an hour.

As for why Misao Yamamura was working in the Togami Forest a few days ago, but came here again today, there's really nothing strange about it.

The Japan police are directly under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency, which is then further subdivided into police headquarters for each prefecture. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the police headquarters of Tokyo.

Below that are the police stations in various urban districts of the county, roughly equivalent in status to public security sub-bureaus.

Further subdivided, there are the small police stations within the town, which are the most common type.

The rank of a police station chief who is transferred to another post is usually Assistant Inspector or police inspector, while the rank of police commissioner is usually a police superintendent.

The regular police officers in the police stations are mostly junior officers in non-professional units. Unless they have committed some serious crime, the spur-of-the-money and career officers work at the police headquarters in various locations.

Each local police headquarters is responsible for all cases within its jurisdiction. For example, Inspector Megure, a police inspector in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, has to travel around Tokyo all day long.

From the city center to the remote mountains and wilderness, and even the small islands overseas, as long as a murder case occurs within the nominal jurisdiction of the Tokyo Police Department, Inspector Megure, the inspector of the Investigation Division One, must rush to the scene to conduct an investigation.

Misao Yamamura was in the same situation. Whenever a case occurred in Gunma Prefecture, as long as he was not far away, he could rush over to investigate after telling his superior.

In short, after learning that Misao Yamamura would be arriving soon to take over the case, Jiang Hang's thoughts changed somewhat.

For the past few days, Jiang Hang has been studying advanced criminal investigation techniques in the Misao Yamamura Togami Forest, which he learned from the system's learning space over a long period of time. However, these techniques have not been of much use to him due to his cheat-like abilities.

To be fair, the elites in the Misao Yamamura group do indeed learn things very quickly.

Don't let his simple and honest appearance fool you; those who can pass Japan's top-tier civil service exams are all academic geniuses.

In areas involving theoretical knowledge and rote memorization, Misao Yamamura with almost no difficulty, especially in the field of computers, where he displayed a talent that even surprised Jiang Hang.

Misao Yamamura did obtain computer certificates during his university years. Although they were only basic computer languages and the use of office software, his foundation was quite solid. His occasional ingenious ideas at that time also brought him many advantages.

If he hadn't chosen to become a policeman, he could definitely have become an excellent programmer. Now, under Jiang Hang's most scientific guidance, learning hacking techniques is not difficult for him at all.

It's important to know that the scientific development in this world is quite advanced, and the development of computers is much more advanced than in his previous life. Jiang Hang remembers that artificial intelligence and immersive virtual games appeared in the movie The Phantom of Baker Street.

As for Professor Agasa's amazing high-tech products, there's no need to mention them.

However, in contrast, no corresponding countermeasures have been developed for these advanced technologies.

Police officers are somewhat familiar with telecom fraud, but more modern cybercrimes are relatively unfamiliar to them in this day and age.

In addition, there is a lack of modern surveillance equipment. Not to mention nationwide coverage, even in core cities like Tokyo, the surveillance coverage rate in public areas is pitifully low.

Just like the Suicide Website Jiang Hang is currently investigating, it is essentially a product of the Japan police's insensitivity to cybercrime and their allowing it to grow unchecked.

It is conceivable that in the future, cybercrime will inevitably become a focus for police forces around the world, requiring them to invest significant human resources in this area.

Since he had noticed the talent of the man from the Misao Yamamura, guiding him in that direction would not be a big problem.

After all, if big data and crime models can really be developed, it could really reduce the number of so-called famous detectives to ordinary cases like finding lost cats, dogs, or mistresses.

When the police leadership finally takes notice of cybercrime, a "professional elite" who is skilled in hacking and has foresight regarding cybercrime will likely immediately attract their attention.

Of course, although Jiang Hang felt he could train Misao Yamamura to become a cyber police officer, he did not give up teaching Misao Yamamura other criminal investigation techniques that could be used at crime scenes.

Before cybercrime attracts the attention of the police leadership, it's more important for Misao Yamamura to first shed his reputation as a rookie police inspector.

Right now, this case looks like a good opportunity.

By identifying the suspect's car from the tire tracks and scattered paint left at the scene, and then questioning vehicles and passersby who had passed through the area during that time based on the direction the suspect fled, useful information could be obtained from them.

A dark blue car with obvious dents and collision marks on the front would be quite noticeable on the road.

Then they gradually narrowed down the search area, slowly pinpointed the suspect's location, and finally arrested him.

As long as you follow the steps in the investigation, even someone with absolutely no talent for reasoning can easily solve a case using this method.

The only drawback is that this method is not as efficient at solving cases as the brains of detectives.

In reality, detectives often need to rely on evidence collected by frontline police officers at crime scenes to make their next deductions.

And isn't the biggest advantage of the police over famous detectives simply their numbers?

Unless it's a hellish place like Tokyo where a bunch of criminal cases happen every day, the number of police officers in other places is generally sufficient to meet the needs.

Misao Yamamura's current police rank is Assistant Inspector, but this is only because he is still in his probationary period. Therefore, he does not have any subordinates yet and usually has to learn from the older generation of police inspectors.

Once he solves a few more cases, he can be promoted ahead of schedule and become a full-fledged police inspector.

In Tokyo, a police inspector might only be able to serve as the head of a section under a division, like Inspector Megure, but in Gunma Prefecture, a police inspector has the opportunity to directly become a division chief or deputy division chief.

At that time, Misao Yamamura's men will naturally be assigned a team of police officers. How to arrange these officers to carry out their work at the crime scene is something Misao Yamamura needs to learn.

Therefore, this case, which is not too difficult but involves a considerable amount of money, is quite suitable for training the rookie policeman, Misao Yamamura. Jiang Hang only needs to give the other party some hints at some key points.

Thinking about this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh, realizing how dedicated he had been as a kung fu teacher.

How should Misao Yamamura introduce his mentor to others after he completes his apprenticeship?

It's said that he learned kung fu from a famous detective, and also mastered advanced hacking and criminal investigation techniques along the way?

Chapter 475: Chapter 471: The Road to Upgrading for Misao Yamamura

When Misao Yamamura arrived at the scene with several police officers, the ambulance had already arrived and taken away the body of the victim, whose identity was still unknown.

Traffic police from Mount Akina arrived at the scene to investigate the origin of the crashed car with the fake license plate.

Therefore, when Misao Yamamura and his group arrived and saw the lively scene, they were momentarily at a loss as to which direction to begin their investigation.

The police officers under Misao Yamamura's command awaited instructions from their superior, while Misao Yamamura immediately rushed over to greet Jiang Hang.

"Professor Jiang Hang, from which aspect should we begin the investigation of this case?"

Since Jiang Hang was one of the earliest witnesses in this case, he should have uncovered a lot of crucial information by now. All that's left is to follow the clues Jiang Hang found to arrest the criminals.

That's what Misao Yamamura thought, but Jiang Hang shook his head at him.

If it weren't for the need to find some experience points for Misao Yamamura to level up, he would have caught the murderer long ago.

For now, he only had Altair keep an eye on that area. As long as the murderer didn't show any intention of escaping, he didn't need to worry too much about it for the time being.

"Didn't I just teach you these things a few days ago? This case doesn't require any reasoning. Just follow what I taught you and do it diligently. It won't be too difficult to find the killer's whereabouts."

Misao Yamamura was still a little unaccustomed to Jiang Hang's reply, wondering why the development was different from what he had seen before.

His luck was indeed quite good. After passing the professional group assessment and being assigned to the investigation department, he encountered Conan, a guy with the protagonist's halo, in his first murder case. Conan easily solved the mystery of the case for him and found the real culprit.

For a while afterward, as a trainee police officer, he wasn't assigned any major criminal cases. He basically just followed the other departments in the investigation division to catch petty thieves, and also participated in a few minor extortion and theft cases.

When he received another murder case, he was once again fortunate enough to encounter the "golden duo" of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and the case was easily solved again.

Then there was the suicide case in the Togami Forest.

This case is even simpler. He originally just came over to do a follow-up visit, but a murder occurred. As a result, in front of Jiang Hang, a detective with extraordinary abilities, before his colleagues could even arrive at the scene, the murderer had already been brought to his breaking point by Jiang Hang's relentless pursuit.

Having worked as a police officer for a few months, Misao Yamamura had become somewhat dependent on others in handling most of the major cases. So much so that when he arrived, he wondered if Jiang Hang had already found the murderer's whereabouts.

Now, reminded by Jiang Hang, he suddenly realized: Oh right, he's a policeman, it should be their responsibility to investigate the scene.

Although he couldn't get the answer directly from Jiang Hang, Misao Yamamura was an optimistic person by nature, and after learning about Jiang Hang's "good intentions," he seemed to become even more enthusiastic.

"Then leave this case to me, Professor Jiang Hang. You just stay here and watch. I'm sure I can use what you've taught me to find the murderer!"

As Misao Yamamura said this, he then recalled in his mind what he had learned from Jiang Hang.

At the scene, emergency medical personnel and traffic police have already arrived and should have already conducted a search of the scene. Getting the clues and traces left at the scene from them will save a lot of time.

Then, based on these clues, we will search for possible witnesses to see if we can get more information about the vehicle involved in the accident from them.

Seeing that Misao Yamamura was still giving instructions somewhat awkwardly, Jiang Hang returned to the car and continued chatting with Fujiwara Bunta.

"That policeman doesn't seem very reliable, but he seems to listen to you quite a bit. After chatting with you for a few minutes, he suddenly became very enthusiastic and energetic?" Fujiwara Bunta asked Jiang Hang, somewhat puzzled by this.

After learning from Jiang Hang that Misao Yamamura was his newly accepted disciple, Fujiwara Bunta's expression became even more subtle.

After all, Jiang Hang is a famous detective, and he's quite young, at most in his early twenties.

A famous detective of this age wouldn't be in a hurry to take on any apprentices, much less seek out someone who looks several years older than himself as an apprentice.

Or is this seemingly unreliable police officer actually hiding something else?

Of course, while Fujiwara Bunta, as a former race car driver, inevitably possessed some arrogance, he also knew that such questions were not appropriate to ask Jiang Hang.

After briefly mentioning the Misao Yamamura incident, Jiang Hang chatted casually with Fujiwara Bunta some mundane family matters to pass the time.

After a while, Misao Yamamura, who had obtained a lot of information from the police officers at the scene, ran over again to report the situation to Jiang Hang.

In addition to what Jiang Hang already knew, Misao Yamamura also mentioned the details of the luxury car theft case.

If nothing unexpected happens, the crashed Mercedes is very likely one of the stolen luxury cars that the police are currently investigating.

"... In short, the murderer is now driving a dark blue car up the mountain. However, none of the theft reports we have received so far include a blue car, which means the murderer must have used his own car to commit the crime and escape."

As Misao Yamamura said this, he looked at Jiang Hang cautiously, worried that Jiang Hang would lecture him.

Although he sought out Jiang Hang to learn kung fu, and in terms of kung fu, he couldn't even stand in a proper horse stance yet, the authoritative presence of Jiang Hang as his teacher had been firmly imprinted in Misao Yamamura's memory.

"I've already sent people up the mountain to look for witnesses, but I don't know if we can get any useful clues from them."

Listening to Misao Yamamura's actions, Jiang Hang nodded noncommittally. Misao Yamamura's intelligence gathering was basically flawless, and his simple judgments were unlikely to have any problems.

"So what are you planning to do next?" he asked Misao Yamamura.

This question immediately stumped Misao Yamamura again.

He hesitated for a moment, scratching the back of his head, before asking Jiang Hang uncertainly, "Are we now looking for witnesses with the other officers?"

Jiang Hang shook his head, then pointed to himself and Fujiwara Bunta next to him.

"Although we two eyewitnesses who arrived at the scene first had already been questioned by the police before you came, are you sure we've given you all the information?"
