But last night he actually fell into a deep sleep right after that and didn't wake up until this morning.

"Could it be that I've been under too much stress lately, and now that I've solved the case, my body is telling me I need a good night's sleep?" Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself.

In short, he now has more and more faith in the detective spirit within him.

Afterwards, he went to Yokomizo Sango inquire about the case. As expected, Akira Nagumo turned himself in, and Amashiro Ruri also sent him an email to express her gratitude.

For some reason, Kogoro Mouri always felt that the tone of gratitude in that email sounded slightly resentful.

It must be his imagination, right?

After returning to Tokyo, perhaps I can try to get in touch with them again?

Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself, but once he returned to Tokyo, with Ran keeping him in check, he wouldn't be able to meet other women so freely.

"By the way, where's Brother Jiang Hang? Wasn't he investigating the case with me last night? Although I did manage to deduce the truth faster than him in the end, I wouldn't have been able to solve the case so quickly without the clues he provided."

In response, Kogoro Mouri humbly attributed one-third of the credit to Jiang Hang.

"As for Mr. Jiang Hang, he must have already driven back to Tokyo this morning. He told me that he didn't know if you would continue to stay with the crew to help with filming, and seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, he asked me to tell you. Then he drove back with his assistant."

Yokomizo Sango still has some regrets.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he threw up a few times while riding in Jiang Hang's car and that he wouldn't let Jiang Hang drive so fast in the future.

But on the night he got off the train, he actually missed that speed.

After all, as a police officer, it is indeed necessary to abide by traffic rules.

But when there's a case, if you could drive as fast as Jiang Hang, wouldn't you be able to stop the suspect much faster?

So he secretly practiced driving his own car for the past two days to see how fast he could go.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it as skillfully as Jiang Hang did.

So he originally wanted to ask Jiang Hang for tips on racing when he returned.

Unexpectedly, the other party encountered a case upon returning, and after working on it all night, they left the next day.

Although he had the nerve to ask the other party a few questions, and Jiang Hang even said that he could call or text him anytime if he had any questions in the future.

He was still somewhat disappointed that he couldn't get Jiang Hang to drive his police car again and experience what it felt like to race.

"That guy has already gone back?" Kogoro Mouri didn't think too much about it, but he wondered why Jiang Hang, who was usually so smart, hadn't reacted at this moment.

A murder occurred on set, and the killer was another veteran actor.

After something like this happened, it seems impossible for the production team to resume filming anytime soon.

However, what Jiang Hang said wasn't entirely wrong.

Even if the film crew can't continue shooting, since he was invited, he should still tell the director before leaving.

He had originally wanted to hitch a ride back with Jiang Hang, but since Jiang Hang had already left, he decided to just take the train back.

On the mountain road, Jiang Hang was driving his 86 at a normal to slow speed.

At the same time, as he had agreed with the previous night, he drove while talking to the two people in the car about Conan and Kogoro Mouri.

"So, the little boy who often comes to our office is actually Shinichi Kudo, who has been missing for half a year?" Shizuka Sakaki's eyes widened slightly, seemingly unable to imagine how a high school student could suddenly turn into a child.

Unexpectedly, their thoughts about the Sleeping Kogoro last night were actually correct.

I just didn't expect that Conan and Shinichi Kudo the same person.

After seeing that the two girls quickly accepted the premise, Jiang Hang continued to talk to them about the dark organizations and also briefly mentioned the situation of the Pioneer Detective Agency.

Chapter 530: Chapter 526: What was your original intention to become a detective?

It's fair to say that on the drive back to Tokyo, Jiang Hang told the two girls the whole story of Conan.

You could even say that these girls probably know more information Conan does.

For example, Jiang Hang hasn't told Conan about the several Black Organization undercover agents, or the fact that the Pioneer Foundation secretly beat up the Black Organization back then, making them very wary of him.

Recently, he only briefly mentioned it to Miyano Shiho, who, with the help of the agency, completed his assassin training with astonishing speed and perseverance and was about to go to the Black Organization to "infiltrate" under Vermouth's Yusuke Sakata.

As for Conan, apart from Gin's name, which he discovered during the Black Organization bombing incident, almost all the other information he had about the Black Organization came from Jiang Hang and the Miyano Sisters.

Aside from that, he didn't really know much about the Black Organization.

Of course, this lack of understanding refers specifically to the situation in Jiang Hang.

For the original Conan, the information he now possesses about the Black Organization is enough to keep him serialized in the manga for over ten years.

After all, Miyano Shiho, who was not so afraid of the organization, would naturally tell Conan and Jiang Hang, who rescued her, more information about the organization after leaving it.

Shuichi Akai, who escaped the organization; Bourbon, who harbored ill will towards Shuichi Akai; Vermouth, who disliked her parents and sisters; Rum, the ambitious second-in-command in the organization; and Rum's equally restless subordinates.

The team with the most intelligence is Gin and Vodka's sniper squad.

After all, when the Miyano sisters were in the organization, one was directly under Gin's command, and the other was always under Gin's surveillance, so they naturally knew these guys who were around them all day better.

However, after learning this information, Conan, who had been tortured by Jiang Hang for half a year, became much more low-key than before.

Instead of directly confronting the Black Organization, he secretly gathered evidence while working with Jiang Hang and his parents, who were abroad, waiting for an opportunity for the organization to expose itself.

Just as Miyano Shiho said, Rum, the second-in-command of the Black Organization, has been very restless in recent years, especially after the organization's boss appeared less and less often. He has almost taken control of half of the organization's subordinate agencies and has a strong feeling that he wants to seize power.

This is the first time in the half-century since the Black Organization was founded that it has encountered such a situation, Conan is waiting for the day when the organization will be in complete chaos.

He believed that day was not far off.

After all, although Jiang Hang did not explain the specifics, he did tell Conan that he had already found several members with code names within the organization through the Foundation's efforts, and had also made some deductions about the secrets hidden by some of these members. Perhaps there was an opportunity to instigate some of the more important members of the organization.

Although Conan felt that Jiang Hang's actions were somewhat like seeking a tiger's skin.

But considering the background of the Pioneer Foundation behind Jiang Hang, and Jiang Hang's own powerful strength that allows him to easily enter and leave the Black Organization's heavily guarded secret laboratory.

Before things completely break down, the people in the Black Organization probably wouldn't dare to make a move against Jiang Hang rashly.

If Jiang Hang succeeds, it means they will be able to easily learn about the inner workings of the Black Organization and thus know when the second-in-command Rum, will make his move.

This is all the information Conan currently knows about the Black Organization.

It seems like a lot, but in reality, Jiang Hang and the Black Organization were practically inseparable; they were practically just short of directly communicating with the boss by phone.

To be honest, as far as Jiang Hang Black Organization concerned, apart from Rum, Rum harbors ulterior motives and secretly controls many of the organization's arms bases and might pose a threat if he is driven to a corner, there's really not much to say about the other members of the Black Organization.

Look at the people in the Black Organization now.

Apart from Gin, who gets things done, and Vodka, who does the hard work, the rest are either scoundrels, traitors, or undercover agents.

Even if a few capable individuals were to discover Conan's identity, they would absolutely not survive to the end of the movie.

Jiang Hang is not taking action now only because the Black Organization can still generate a lot of commissions for him.

Besides, the boss of the Black Organization is eager to curry favor with him and has even sent his trusted confidante Vermouth to try and win him over, so he can't very well turn his back on them.

If a war really breaks out, the empty shell of the Pioneer Foundation behind him won't help. Why would he go through all that trouble to work for other countries' intelligence agencies?

When Rum starts causing trouble, he'll cooperate and put on a show.

He will gradually transfer the Black Organization's assets to his side, making them nourishment for the Brotherhood and the Templar Knight.

Then, give some credit to the various undercover agents within the organization, and leave some scrap metal as a token to the intelligence agencies behind them, and that's about it.

Therefore, Jiang Hang was in no hurry to accept Vermouth's overtures or surrender.

Jiang Hang picked out the key points and told Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino about some of these things. He didn't tell them everything, but it was indeed something they, as his assistants, should know.

After listening to Jiang Hang's explanation, the two girls remained silent for a while before asking him a question with somewhat subtle expressions.

"Jiang Hang, the Pioneer Foundation behind you sounds more like a mysterious, hidden organization operating behind the scenes, doesn't it?"

After all, besides hearing about the Pioneer Foundation from Jiang Hang, they had also done their own research online.

It seems to be a very wealthy investment institution that puts everything out in the open and does business with people in a friendly manner. Apart from Jiang Hang, the heir, suddenly running off to Japan to work as a detective, it doesn't seem to have done anything else.

But now that I've heard Jiang Hang say this...

The Pioneer Foundation, which originally made its fortune through war in the 20th century, has suddenly become a mysterious underground organization with a history of over a thousand years.

Furthermore, the Assassin Brotherhood champions freedom, and the Templar Knight, who maintain order, both sound somewhat religious in nature.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about these settings so much. Anyway, the real Brotherhood and the Templar Knight have long since died out. Times are changing, and old ideas can't be applied forever."

"Historically, both the Templar Knight and the Assassin Brotherhood have experienced disasters due to their excessive extremism when they were in power."

"Excessive order can stifle human thought, while excessive freedom can lead humanity into an abyss. The Pioneer Foundation has balanced these two extreme ideas. Now we emphasize looking at the world with a dialectical materialist perspective, and we have completely broken away from the past."

Jiang Hang casually added some settings to his background.

Anyway, he believed that with the system around, the system would handle all the background stories for him.

"However, the Brotherhood and the Templar Knight have both made quite a stir in the past. So, although we at the Pioneer Foundation no longer adhere to these terms internally, some organizations and forces outside who know about them still use these two names to refer to us, in accordance with our Foundation's style. To avoid trouble or arouse suspicion, we generally do not refute these names."

"All you need to know is that, in some people's eyes, I am the heir to the Brotherhood, an assassin who upholds free will and the Assassin's Creed, while in others' eyes, I am Templar Knight who maintains world order, and I am adept at saying one thing to one person and another to another."

Well, this feeling of being the mastermind behind everything is getting stronger and stronger.

Jiang Hang really wanted to be a behind-the-scenes boss, but unfortunately he only had a few people under his command, so he had to do everything himself.

Aside from the fact that the backdrop was indeed large enough, there was absolutely no sense of a behind-the-scenes big boss.

However, the two girls did indeed have complete trust in Jiang Hang.

After all, a person's character isn't something they say they know, but rather something you can discern from their everyday behavior.

Even after hearing such a long and mysterious story, the two girls still couldn't believe that Jiang Hang, a guy who usually stayed in his room playing games and watching anime and would secretly go to an all-girls school to watch high school idol groups dance, was a big boss.

If Jiang Hang's entire act was a facade, then Shizuka Sakaki thinks even Aizen from Bleach would have to offer Jiang Hang a cup of tea.

But Shizuka Sakaki was still a little curious about why Jiang Hang came to Japan and why he chose to become a detective.

"Coming to Japan was definitely not my idea. I was just staying at home when I was suddenly thrown here."

"As for the detective, it's a bit of a coincidence, actually."

What motivated you to become a detective?

If Jiang Hang had been asked this question before, he really wouldn't have known how to answer it.

What do you care about junior high school? I'm going to be a detective, so why should I go to junior high school?

It can't just be that his system brother sent him to the wrong world, then stubbornly refused to back down, forcibly turning himself from Assassin System into a half-crippled Detective System, and then using generous rewards to force Jiang Hang, who was helpless in this world, to bow down to money, so naturally he became a detective, right?

But now, it's only natural for him to patch up his behavior.

"In short, Conan's uncle, who is also Kaito Kid's father, offended someone who was not easy to deal with back then. In the end, he was protected by our Foundation and is now considered one of our Foundation's employees."

"Before I was thrown to Japan, he came to me and asked me to take care of his son and nephew."

"Then I came to Japan and saw a high school student who became a famous detective. He inherited his father's identity Kaito Kid. And then, the famous detective was actually ambushed while solving a case and was forced to take some weird drugs and turned into a child."

"Seeing his reckless manner, as if he was afraid others wouldn't suspect him, I had no choice but to become a detective for his uncle's sake, so that they would know that there are always people more capable than you. Anyway, the Foundation didn't have any demands on me, and they were quick to pay me."

"Over the years, our Foundation has preserved many skills."

"Assassination, stealth, disguise, and finding loopholes in the rules are the skills of an assassin."

"And these techniques are surprisingly useful in the detective industry, as I think you can attest to."

"Of course, it's not just these techniques. There are also some skills from the genetic level, such as the Leap of Faith and Eagle Eye. You've all seen them before. You can't learn these, but I'll find a way to let you experience them in the future."

"In short, solving cases is also helpful for maintaining my own state of mind and can satisfy my spiritual needs, so I have been doing it until now."

Jiang Hang continued to reveal secrets to the two girls, leaving them speechless with astonishment.

They seemed to have finally gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Hang's experiences.

But these experiences seem even more bizarre.

They originally thought that Jiang Hang's choice to become a detective had some other, more crucial influence.

After all, it's quite strange that Jiang Hang, the heir to a Foundation, is so adept at the detective profession.

Unexpectedly, it was because the assassin skills he learned were highly compatible with the detective profession, and he was commissioned by someone to become a detective.

"Actually, it's quite normal. You all probably know Sherlock Holmes, right? In fact, historically, Sherlock Holmes was based on an assassin from the Industrial Revolution era, so it's true that an assassin turning into a detective is quite a promising career path."

Such a long string of revelations is a bit overwhelming.

However, Shizuka Sakaki realized that Jiang Hang had just mentioned an even more explosive piece of news.
