Masako Miyoshi's Warning

Watching Toichi Kuroba casually turn his head in front of him, then wave his hand in front of his face as if changing his expression, and even his temperament was completely different from before, Jiang Hang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"If you have the chance later, could you help me train my newly recruited assassin apprentices? I'll definitely come to the event and learn from you."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Toichi Kuroba simply waved his hand, his attitude unclear, before quickly disappearing into the alley.

Watching the other person leave, Jiang Hang couldn't help but mutter, "He really endured humiliation and carried a heavy burden. He faked his death for eight years, hiding it from his wife and son. Now that he's back in Japan, he still has to keep it a secret from the other party, just to find an opportunity to completely overthrow that zoo."

Only after confirming that Toichi Kuroba's figure had disappeared into the distance did he ask a question to the Assassin System in his mind, which had not spoken for a long time.

"So, System, you should give me an explanation now. It's one thing that the Foundation you created has completely distorted the history of this world from half a century ago, but how come you've also secretly brought in Toichi Kuroba, an important character in the Foundation, and trained him to be an assassin master?"

"Bite--"

"According to the system's detection, there is no problem with the development trajectory of the Pioneer Foundation. Please do not worry about it."

Okay, okay, if you're still being stubborn, then there's no problem.

I just hope the Foundation can slow down its pace of rewriting history.

Don't wait until he suddenly wakes up one day to find himself surrounded by the leaders of a villainous organization, and then kneels down and submits to him on the spot, doing something as awkward as "The three-year term has come to an end, please return to your throne, Dragon King."

Unaware that his system was already drenched in sweat, Jiang Hang casually made a comment before turning around and returning to the restaurant he had been in.

His conversation with Toichi Kuroba lasted about twenty minutes, so when he returned, their table was already being served food.

However, it seemed that they were all still waiting for him to come back, so none of them had started eating yet.

"Sorry we took a while, everyone hurry up and eat."

After apologizing, Jiang Hang sat back down in his seat.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang return, Miyano Shiho cast an inquiring glance at him, as if asking if there was any danger and if he needed any help.

Jiang Hang gave her a reassuring look.

"I wanted to invite an old friend I hadn't seen for many years to have dinner with me, but his situation is a bit special. He can't leave his job right now, so I had to give up."

Although Kazumi Sanada and Mako Miyoshi both felt that Jiang Hang's departure must have had a more important reason, they, who had only recently met Jiang Hang, naturally couldn't say anything about such a private matter.

With most people not having much of an appetite, it was probably only the clueless Fumino and the all-knowing Jiang Hang who were enjoying their meal the most.

After having dinner and resting for a while, Jiang Hang took Fumino to Conan Beika Hospital, where Conan was, as agreed beforehand.

Kogoro Mouri isn't in his hospital room right now; he's probably outside the hospital smoking or doing something else to pass the time.

However, Ran stayed in Conan's hospital room the whole time to take care of Conan.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Jiang Hang, who had just received a request from his father that morning, bring some strangers she had never met before to Conan's place after noon.

However, Jiang Hang did not explain directly to her, but instead spoke directly to Conan on the hospital bed.

"Conan, look who's here!"

Almost the moment she arrived at Conan's hospital room, a look of heartache appeared in Fumino's eyes as she ran to Conan with the gift she had prepared.

"Conan, after I learned from Jiang Hang that you were injured and couldn't attend my birthday party tomorrow, I bought you some gifts. I hope you recover soon."

Ran Mori, standing to the side, looked at the little girl's attentive manner and a strange expression appeared on her face.

Besides Ayumi from the Detective Boys, why is there another girl who seems to like Conan now?

What exactly did this guy do in elementary school?

Meanwhile, the one who was truly feeling overwhelmed was Conan was lying in his hospital bed.

He first looked closely at the little girl's face, and with a little effort, he remembered that she seemed to be a classmate from the next class whom he had spoken to once or twice. Then, he felt a little nauseous because of the worried look on her face and the relieved look on Jiang Hang's face as he brought the little girl over.

I'm already in this state, and I finally get to have a peaceful chat with Ran in the hospital room. Are you going to try to upset me like this?

Yes, he did receive a birthday party invitation from this little girl.

But he never intended to attend her birthday party, and he had no idea that this girl, whom he had barely spoken to, would have such feelings for him!

Isn't Jiang Hang's sudden move an attempt to smear someone's reputation?

But what could Conan do when he saw the little girl's tearful, worried face?

We can't really kick this little girl out, can we?

Therefore, he could only tell the little girl, with a sense of despair, that he was fine and would probably be discharged from the hospital in a week or two at most, and that he would go back to school to play with her again.

Upon receiving such a reply, Tsukumo Fumiya smiled happily and even made a pinky promise with Conan.

Amid Ran's "smiling" expression, Conan awkwardly made a pinky promise with her.

After doing all this, Jiang Hang used the excuse that "Conan's injury hasn't healed yet and he needs to rest now" to lead the reluctant Fumino out of the ward.

"This little girl insisted on visiting Conan after she found out he was injured, so I brought her along," Jiang Hang said to Ran outside the ward.

Upon learning that the little girl was the daughter of the client her father had been dealing with, Ran's gaze instantly turned to pity, and any resentment she had harbored towards Jiang Hang vanished completely.

Jiang Hang is indeed a good person.

Okay, she'll have to go back to the ward later to remind Conan that after he returns to school, he should spend more time talking to the little girl whose father has passed away.

Conan, sitting in the hospital room, suddenly shivered and muttered to himself again how Jiang Hang was such a jerk.

"By the way, you can tell your father that I've basically resolved this case, and the criminal will be turning himself in to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department soon."

Ran nodded. Having known Jiang Hang for so long, she knew he was known for his efficiency in solving cases. Since Jiang Hang said so, the case must have been successfully resolved.

Little did she know that the so-called criminal was actually just a few meters away from her, chatting with the daughter of the person she had killed.

After saying goodbye to Ran again, Jiang Hang led Fumino, to the hospital entrance, and looked at Kazumi Sanada.

"Next, I'll leave it to you to take Fumino home and explain the whole truth to your teacher's wife. Ms. Mako Miyoshi and I will go and handle the rest now."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you feel uncomfortable saying these things to your teacher's wife, I can personally visit her later to explain the situation."

Kazumi Sanada shook his head. "Let me do it. After all, that's what my teacher said to me back then. In the days since the case happened, I've been pretending that I don't know anything. I also feel a little guilty towards my teacher's wife. So let me explain to her myself everything my teacher did back then."

Kazumi Sanada bowed to Jiang Hang in gratitude, and then made a farewell gesture to Mako Miyoshi.

Just as Jiang Hang said, no matter what fate awaits Mako Miyoshi, this may be the last time these two senior and junior classmates, who have known each other for three or four years, will meet.

After doing all this, Kazumi Sanada, along with the slightly puzzled Tsukumo Fumiya, hailed a taxi and left the place first.

After Kazumi Sanada left, Jiang Hang turned to look at Mako Miyoshi.

"Is there anything else you want to do before you turn yourself in to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Do you want to go home, change your clothes, put on makeup, and head to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in your best condition, or do you want to find a secluded place to vent all the emotions you've accumulated over the years?"

Mako Miyoshi gently shook her head.

"No need. I've already done everything I needed to do in the week since I killed that guy with my own hands."

"I'd better get to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible and get rid of all this."

Is it liberation?

But when she learned at noon that Kutsuku Motoyasu had voluntarily allowed himself to be killed by her from the very beginning, her reaction was not as calm as it is now.

She now simply feels that she has killed the other person, regardless of whether the other person did it willingly or not; she has done it, and the detective has uncovered the whole truth.

However, she couldn't bring herself to harm Fumino, nor did she want to slink away as a loser; this was her pride as Japan's number one female magician.

Therefore, all that awaits her in the future is detention by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and eventual trial in court.

Chapter 503: Chapter 499: Mako Miyoshi's Advice

Because I had already called Inspector Megure beforehand to discuss this matter while I was driving.

So when Jiang Hang and his group drove to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, there were already several familiar-looking police officers waiting for them there.

Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru must have other cases to handle today, so the one in charge is the somewhat nerdy-looking Chiba Kazunobu.

This character is also a classic police supporting character in Conan, and he receives similar treatment to Takagi Wataru.

It's roughly like Aoyama felt he hadn't had enough of drawing Takagi Wataru's romantic storyline after finishing it, so he found a minor police officer who had appeared in the early episodes. Thus, around chapters 700 Chiba Kazunobu 800 of the manga, Chiba Kazunobu happily gained a childhood friend who had been separated from him for many years and was now also a police officer.

Of course, Jiang Hang's favorite thing to do is to act as a matchmaker for others.

He essentially brought Takagi Wataru and Miike Sato together through several cases, and he was also the one who created the current ambiguous relationship Conan and Ran.

During his spare time while working with the police from the Third Investigation Division to solve cases, Jiang Hang casually mentioned these things to Chiba Kazunobu, subtly hinting at the identity of his childhood friend without much effort.

Now, these childhood sweethearts have entered a period of ambiguity after confirming each other's identities.

It's unclear whether things will work out here first, or Conan will break through that barrier first.

In addition, Chiba Kazunobu's otaku personality was quite similar to Jiang Hang's own. The two of them would occasionally exchange information about what anime they were watching recently. Chiba Kazunobu even visited the filming locations of Gomera and Ultraman at Daibao Films during his holidays.

With this connection, the two naturally had a very good relationship.

That's why, after greeting Jiang Hang, Chiba Kazunobu told him about the information he had just found out.

"It seems that the police from the Seventh Bureau were the ones who went to the scene to investigate this case before. Now that you're bringing the real culprit to turn yourself in, shouldn't you notify them first?"

Seven series?

Jiang Hang thought for a moment and quickly remembered.

He had dealt with the Seventh Group several times; a few months ago, the case involving Eito Studios was handled by someone from the Seventh Group.

It was during that case that he met Keisuke Itonokogiri and his superior.

Although the relationship between the two sides is certainly not as good as that between Inspector Megure, they at least have some connection.

Moreover, considering that it was the Seventh Bureau that ultimately concluded it was suicide, Jiang Hang suddenly felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, in Ace Attorney, Keisuke Itonokogiri is a kind-hearted and dedicated police officer who tends to overlook some key information at crime scenes and in court.

Given that the other party's boss also seemed to be the kind of person who was somewhat easygoing, it's not too surprising that this outcome occurred.

After all, there are very few police officers like Inspector Megure who have a strong sense of justice, patience, and who have always encountered helpful people throughout their decades-long criminal investigation career.

"Then I'll call him and tell him, just in case there's any misunderstanding that could involve you."

Inside the car, Miyano Shiho watched Jiang Hang chatting happily with the police officers outside. Meanwhile, Mako Miyoshi, sitting in the back seat, suddenly asked Miyano Shiho a question.

"I don't think you two are a couple, right?"

Miyano Shiho was taken aback by the question, then turned to look at Mako Miyoshi, as if to confirm whether the other party had just asked her.

"Aren't there just the two of us in the car now?" Mako Miyoshi looked at the police officers outside the car.

Perhaps because it was Jiang Hang's car, and she was a suspect personally brought by him, the police did not immediately try to arrest her, but simply stood outside the car waiting for their superiors to give instructions.

After confirming Mako Miyoshi's question again, Miyano Shiho nodded slightly, indicating that they were definitely not a couple.

"If you're interested in him, you should take the initiative a little. After all, someone like him should know how to win a girl's heart, right?"

Jiang Hang?

How to win a girl's heart?

Miyano Shiho looked out the car with some confusion at Jiang Hang, who had just called Keisuke Itonokogiri and was now chatting with Chiba Kazunobu about late-night anime.

When did this guy learn to charm girls? She never noticed it at all.

"If you can't tell, then it means he treats all the girls he knows the same way," Mako Miyoshi shook her head slightly inside the car.

Although this was her first time meeting Jiang Hang, as a magician who needed to understand people's hearts, she could see that Jiang Hang was different from ordinary detectives.

After all, a typical detective wouldn't go shopping or have a meal with a criminal before arresting her, and might even ask her if she has any unfulfilled regrets before arriving at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

If this care is shown equally to all girls, Mako Miyoshi Miyano Shiho a piece of advice.

"If you want to take things further with him, you first need to find a way to confirm your position in front of the other women who are close to him, otherwise you may encounter a lot of trouble in the future."

Upon hearing Mako Miyoshi's reminder, Miyano Shiho instinctively wanted to distance herself from the relationship between the two of them.

But when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't really say that she had no feelings for Jiang Hang at all.

Thinking further along what Mako Miyoshi said, it seems that what she said does make some sense.

Jiang Hang's attitude towards the girls around him was indeed the same; he would rush over to help them whenever they encountered any problems that he couldn't solve.

Whether it's those two assistants, the girl who wants to write a book about the cases Jiang Hang has experienced, or her sister and the female detective Jiang Hang has recently hooked up with from who knows where.

This was something she knew, and perhaps something she didn't know, that Jiang Hang also had connections with quite a few girls.

But the next moment, she shook her head.

Jiang Hang doesn't treat everyone this way.
