The Decisive Weapon to Turn the Tide?

Of course, the main reason is that they can't control Altair either.

Anyway, seeing that Jiang Hang simply said a few words to the eagle and then the eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky again, Inspector Megure thought that Jiang Hang's eagle must be a spirit.

However, considering that his superior, the son of Superintendent General Hakuba of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, also seemed to have a very intelligent eagle, Inspector Megure felt that these people must have some special methods for training eagles.

After Inspector Megure and his team paid the bill and left, Jiang Hang continued to sit in the coffee shop, leisurely eating the breakfast that the waiter had just brought him.

After having breakfast, Jiang Hang took out his personal microcomputer and began to carefully investigate the situation of Governor Asakura.

Previously, he was just a guest invited to the ceremony, and naturally, he didn't need to actively investigate the background of the highest-ranking official in a region.

Before arriving in Hakodate, he only learned a few Governor Asakura from Miyano Akemi, and that was all he knew.

After all, if Jiang Hang were to find something unclean online, it would be quite embarrassing for everyone.

Although Jiang Hang doesn't need to worry too much about these things with his current strength, if he really had to deal with them one by one, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in most countries in the world.

Only Jiang Hang himself knew how worthless his identity as the heir to the Pioneer Foundation was. Unless the system intervened and agreed, he couldn't even handle a single NPC employee of the Foundation.

Even if he were incredibly strong, he couldn't possibly handle them all by himself, and there was no need for him to bother with them.

Therefore, unless those people's actions directly cross Jiang Hang's line of work, Jiang Hang would not specifically target those so-called big shots when he was carrying out justice in Tokyo.

However, now that Governor Asakura has received a threatening letter, he naturally needs to investigate the other party's affairs more thoroughly online.

With Jiang Hang's current hacking skills, many opaque documents and files were quickly revealed to him.

With the help of his own AI program, he soon saw what he wanted to see.

"Before becoming the Governor of Hokkaido, he served as the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and he accomplished quite a bit," Jiang Hang muttered to himself.

The bank statements for several accounts all looked quite clean. Although the amount of money spent on the election was a bit large, compared to some of the people he had casually investigated, this Yuichiro Asakura was at least much cleaner on the surface.

They get paid for their work, and the results they produce seem to be handled quite well, without any major conflicts...

Only here...

Jiang Hang set his sights on one of the projects that the other party had previously led.

The construction of the Kitazawa Village Dam.

On the surface, Yuichiro Asakura put a great deal of effort into this project, which took less than five years from start to finish.

It was the speed of the project's completion and the preparations for the relocation of local residents that gave Yuichiro Asakura considerable capital, ultimately leading to his successful election as the governor of Hokkaido.

Of course, during his four years as Governor of Hokkaido, he also promoted many projects, such as the new railway he built during those four years, which is the one whose opening ceremony will be held tomorrow.

Somewhat coincidentally, just days after the opening ceremony, Governor Asakura will also be traveling to Kitazawa Village's relocation.

After comparing the other party's itinerary over the past two weeks, and with Altair having already confirmed the railway situation, Jiang Hang focused his attention on the matter of Kitazawa Village.

Through the news from that year, Jiang Hang could see that Governor Asakura had indeed put a lot of effort into the matter, arranging both the relocation site and the compensation quite well; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have thought of attending the memorial ceremony again.

The problem is that, although there were indeed voices of resistance and opposition in all the major projects handled by the other party, only the construction of the Kitazawa Village Dam has been successful from project implementation to completion and commissioning, and now to its fifth anniversary.

It's been a full ten years now, and the internet was quite calm in the years before.

Even in the last year or two, negative comments about the Kitazawa Village Dam can still be seen on the internet from time to time.

The key issue is that none of those comments addressed the core problem. They didn't mention whether the construction of the dam had affected their lives or whether they were dissatisfied with the compensation. They simply criticized Yuichiro Asakura for being mentally unstable and said that he would blow up the dam sooner or later.

Jiang Hang could sense from the accusations that appeared online that these guys seemed really anxious, but they couldn't change anything and could only rage helplessly.

However, when he saw comments about "blowing up the dam," Jiang Hang's muscle memory was triggered.

After all, explosions are quite common in the Conan stories; they need to blow something up every year to feel satisfied.

Anyway, after Jiang Hang reviewed the projects that Yuichiro Asakura had been in charge of for the past ten years and his schedule for the next month several times, the situation of the Kitazawa Village Dam did seem more suspicious.

"Let's just remember this place first," Jiang Hang said, glancing at the location of Kitazawa Village, which was not far from the ski resort they were going to in a few days.

It seems that no matter what, he's going to go and take a trip to that place.

Having investigated almost everything that needed to be investigated, Jiang Hang stretched slightly.

We've narrowed it down to one village. If we continue searching the population of that village, we should be able to find a few suspects.

It can only be said that with the technological support of future hackers, he will be able to easily use box weapons to figure out many things.

However, just as Jiang Hang was about to press on, his phone suddenly rang.

I picked up my phone and saw it was a call from Miyano Shiho.

It seems they finally woke up and saw the text messages he sent them.

As soon as the call connected, Miyano Shiho asked about the progress of the case and whether they needed to come and help.

Jiang Hang shook his head. Anyway, there was still plenty of time; he could investigate later.

"Someone sent a threatening letter to Governor Asakura. There aren't many leads yet. Inspector Megure and the others have already gone back. I estimate they'll head straight to Goryokaku soon. Don't worry, just come over when you've sorted things out."

Chapter 553: The Decisive Weapon to Turn the Tide of Battle?

Because of the snow, Goryokaku was rather deserted at this time.

When Jiang Hang arrived at Goryokaku, Miyano Shiho and the others had not yet arrived.

Therefore, Jiang Hang took advantage of the fact that no one was around and first used Eagle Eye to scan the surrounding area.

Then he discovered some trivial details that seemed completely irrelevant, as if Goryokaku had no clues at all.

"Is this place just a reminder that it's related to the Star Prism Blade?"

Jiang Hang shook his head, thinking that Toichi Kuroba to tricking his own son in such a place.

So, this place is indeed related to the Star Prism Blade?

Jiang Hang took out his phone and carefully examined the information about the Star Prism Blade that Toichi Kuroba had sent him the night before.

There aren't many things inside that relate to the Goryeo (Goryokaku), but if you look closely, you can indeed notice some issues.

The Star Prism Blade is a series of samurai swords crafted by a swordsmith named Higashiwa Eiryu after the completion of Goryokaku.

The other swords had different tsuba (Star Prism Blade), but this one, the highest quality samurai sword, had its tsuba made by Higashiwa Eiryu exactly in the shape of the Goryokaku. In the Battle of Hakodate that year, Toshizo Hijikata personally used this samurai sword to kill more than a dozen assassins who came to kill him.

Jiang Hang n't care much about the origins of the Shinsengumi in this world; his attention was focused on the introductions related to Goryokaku.

The tsuba (handguard) is made entirely based on the shape of Goryokaku.

Is the intention to view the entire Goryokaku as a shape, using it as the midpoint, and then searching for another coordinate system?

Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang turned his head and looked at a series of not-too-high mountain ranges in the distance.

That is Mount Hakodate, a tourist attraction comprised of more than ten peaks ranging from 100 to 300 meters in altitude.

It is also the place with the best view and highest altitude in Hakodate City.

Thanks to the local government's promotion, the night view of Mount Hakodate is also known as one of the world's three best night views.

Miyano Shiho and her friends originally planned to see what was so amazing about the world's most beautiful night view tonight.

"With my current Eagle Eye, I should be able to see quite a lot from the top of the mountain."

Hakodate is not Tokyo after all. Even though Mount Hakodate is only two or three hundred meters high, you can see most of Hakodate from the top.

Muttering to himself, Jiang Hang put away his phone and then waved to Kaito Kid was dressed as a passerby not far away.

"You came so late to investigate the problem your father left you? I thought you were already here waiting for me when I arrived."

Kaito Kid looked like a passerby, was no longer surprised.

Although Jiang Hang seemed to have noticed his arrival just before he looked up, it was precisely Jiang Hang's performance that made Kaito Kid think it was reasonable.

Jiang Hang has such outrageous eyesight and observation skills, otherwise how could he see through his disguise at a glance in such a large airport, even from a distance of hundreds of meters?

If he gets within ten meters of Jiang Hang and the other party doesn't react at all, then he should be Mind's Eye the Jiang Hang in front of him might be someone else in disguise.

After confirming Jiang Hang's authenticity in this way, Kaito Kid waved at Jiang Hang.

"Ah, after getting off the plane yesterday, I thought about it and decided to go see Inspector Nakamori. I greeted him and explained that the gem was fake so that Inspector Nakamori and the others could go back and rest earlier, which took up a lot of time."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "But Mr. Shinjo Isao is probably not so lucky."

He briefly explained the person he had impersonated on the plane yesterday.

Under Maki Juri's instructions, the other party went to the villa in Hakodate in advance and even prepared a set of Kaito Kid's costume, seemingly wanting to prank Kaito Kid in this way.

Who knew that Inspector Nakamori and Sonoko Suzuki were thinking the same thing, both believing that Kaito Kid would never give up so easily.

However, none of them expected that Kaito Kid planned to make his move on the plane.

In short, last night Nakamori led another team to the vicinity of the Hakodate villa in an attempt to capture Kaito Kid.

The result was that Kaito Kid disguised himself as Shinjo Isao, and Shinjo Isao disguised himself as Kaito Kid, resulting in an identity swap.

Especially after Inspector Nakamori received intelligence that Shinjo Isao had already boarded the plane at Tokyo Airport.

Therefore, Inspector Nakamori became even more certain that this guy must be Kaito Kid.

Then they launched a surprise attack on Shinjo Isao, the imposter Kaito Kid.

As it turns out, the real Shinjo Isao probably lost his mind too.

When he saw a group of police officers coming to find him, he was probably worried that when Maki Juri came over, he would be angry if he found out that he was not at the villa and had not acted according to their requirements. So, after being targeted by the police, his first reaction was to run away. He immediately drove off to try to escape the police pursuit.

It was just a matter of explaining it, and at most, spending some time at the police station could have resolved it.

Because of the other party's escape attempt, things suddenly became extraordinary.

Various police cars were mobilized to arrest Kaito Kid Shinjo Isao.

Adding to the near-crash incident last night, the Hakodate Police Station was busy almost all night.

Currently, Maki Juri is receiving treatment in the hospital, and it is unknown whether she will suffer any long-term effects.

Shinjo Isao, because of his perplexing escape attempt, will likely be detained in the detention center for ten days to half a month before being released.

If Kaito Kid hadn't actually gone over and drawn some fire last night, Shinjo Isao would have suffered even more losses.

"You're quite considerate to your father-in-law. I just wonder if he'll have a stroke on the spot if he finds out that you and your dad are Kaito Kid."

Jiang Hang casually made this comment.

Kaito Kid just scratched his head. "So we have to take care of that organization as soon as possible. After we take care of that organization and avenge my father, the identity of Kaito Kid will probably be coming to an end."

He looked at Jiang Hang, seemingly wanting to get some information about that organization from him.

After all, the Pioneer Foundation behind them is said to have considerable intelligence capabilities.

Jiang Hang must have heard of organizations at this level.

"I haven't really paid much attention to that organization of yours, but there's one thing I can guarantee," Jiang Hang said, then held up one finger.

"That means the 'Pandora' gem is real. In our Foundation, we usually call these items with special powers 'Eden Shard' or 'Eden Artifacts,' and each Eden Shard has unimaginable power."

As Jiang Hang looked at Kaito Kid, he casually recounted some of the settings from Assassin's Creed.

Since his father has already joined the Assassin Brotherhood, it's not a problem for his son Kaito Kuroba, to also get some exposure to these things beforehand.

Listening to Jiang Hang's description, Kaito Kid looked somewhat confused and doubtful.

The fact that Pandora, a gemstone that can grant immortality, is already beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It was also at his school that he met a witch in his class who practiced magic. He had personally witnessed her using some simple magic. Coupled with the organization's obsession with the Pandora Gem, this led him to decide to continue as the Kaito Kid to stop the organization and prevent this power of immortality from falling into the hands of evil people.

As it turns out, Jiang Hang tells him that there are actually many items in this world with magical effects, collectively known as Eden Shard or Eden Artifacts. These are items that have been passed down from ancient times and may possess even more mysterious and powerful abilities.

The golden apple that controls people's hearts, the shroud that can heal wounds, the sword that grants strength and leadership...

Although these amazing items are not recorded in human history, history is often changed because of them.

"Are you kidding me?" Kaito Kid frowned, feeling that the world was far too complicated.

Jiang Hang shrugged. "When you find Pandora, you'll know if what I said is true or not. Or maybe next time I have the chance, I'll try to get an Eden Artifacts from the Foundation to open your eyes."

But the next moment, Kaitou Kidd seemed to have thought of something, and asked Jiang Hang at the same time, "Do the Pieces of Eden you mentioned have the power to change the world structure?"

Jiang Hang blinked, then nodded.

"But it depends on what kind of fragment it is. If you are simply immortal, it is actually difficult for one person to change the pattern of the world. Moreover, the immortality obtained in this way is not as stable as you think. Although it can give you a long lifespan, even enough to allow you to live from BC to modern times, as long as you lose the Piece of Eden, you will lose the ability to live forever, and you will quickly age and die in a short period of time."

Kaito Kid still didn't quite believe Jiang Hang's words, but the clues his father left him and the things he investigated on his own made him somewhat sensitive to the phrase "changing the world order".

He took a few breaths and, after thinking for a while, decided that he should tell Jiang Hang.

At least for now, Jiang Hang is still quite trustworthy.
