Died by Suicide

And the other party did indeed take a break from school for a period of time and traveled around Japan.

As for whether the other party is indeed the detective that Natsuki Kosimizu is looking for, further investigation is needed.

"Thank you for your trouble," Jiang Hang said to Kaito Kid after reviewing the information.

Kaito Kid touched his nose, seemingly unconcerned about Jiang Hang's praise, "It was just a transaction after all."

"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to find what my father left behind so quickly."

Kaito Kid also knows that his mission is not limited to just this one city.

After confirming that Jiang Hang had accepted the information, he prepared to set off for the next city to conduct his investigation.

After all, he had promised Jiang Hang that he would assist the major cities north of Hokkaido, and after the inspection, he would have to go home.

Although he had only been away from home for a few days, Aoko had already called him quite a few times to check on him.

He was also thinking about finishing these things as soon as possible so that he could go home and continue his sweet time with Aoko.

"That guy's really efficient. It must be that childhood friend urging him to go back." Jiang Hang muttered under his breath as he watched Kaito Kid rush to catch the evening train.

Upon hearing this, Miyano Shiho, who was sitting next to Jiang Hang, suddenly looked at Jiang Hang with some curiosity.

The other party is the heir to the Pioneer Foundation.

Did he have a childhood sweetheart when he was young?

I don't think so.

After all, the other party had been in Japan for more than half a year, and Jiang Hang had never received any special calls from girls.

Furthermore, if the other party really had a childhood sweetheart, they probably wouldn't have let Jiang Hang recruit two beautiful girls as their detective assistants as soon as he arrived in Japan.

After muttering this to herself, Miyano Shiho suppressed these thoughts and asked Jiang Hang if they were going to investigate from another detective next.

The first detective seemed quite naive, and Jiang Hang had already ruled him out.

Jiang Hang, however, only looked at the two high school students in the photo, but picked up the file of the boy named Shotaro Tatewaki first.

"Let's go see this young man tomorrow."

Even a smart person Miyano Shiho didn't immediately understand what Jiang Hang meant.

"Do you think the other party's information is too simple, and there's something wrong with it?"

Miyano Shiho attempted to explain it from this perspective.

"No, the detective in the second place is indeed more suspicious, but that person's detective talent is just so-so. If things continue like this, at most he'll just be able to make a living by taking on some stalking and cat and dog catching jobs after graduation."

The detective talent Jiang Hang is referring to here is not just things like observation and reasoning abilities.

It also refers to the "unlucky constitution" that allows one to encounter all sorts of cases.

While it may be somewhat impolite to say this, in this world, talented detectives are never short of cases.

For example, Jiang Hang is one of the biggest victims.

When he first came into this world, he was just an ordinary person and had not been passively involved in any cases.

The cases mentioned earlier were basically cases he picked up from Conan when he met Conan.

At that time, he didn't encounter many cases. If he didn't take the initiative, he would hardly encounter a case in a week.

But things changed later.

I don't know if it's because he's been around Conan for a long time, or if he has the same trouble-making ability in his assassin bloodline.

In short, he gradually developed a similar constitution over the past six months, making it easier for him to encounter murder cases wherever he went, without needing to rely on Conan.

"They're currently dealing with some minor cases over there, so it's fine to slow down their investigations a bit. But they seem to have a better talent for this area, so we could go over and try to get in touch with them first."

Chapter 587: Died by Suicide

Jiang Hang still vaguely remembered the name Shotaro Tatewaki.

Jiang Hang remembered the title as "Sakurako-san's Feet Are Buried with Corpses," Shotaro Tatewaki was the male protagonist of that work.

Although a long time has passed, Jiang Hang can still easily recall the general content of the works he read in his previous life.

It's a fairly good light mystery animation, using the formula of a female Sherlock Holmes and a male Watson.

Although the case wasn't particularly complex, it fit the overall tone of the work, and the character designs were also quite good.

It was probably because he was always involved in various cases while following the female Sherlock Holmes, Sakurako Kujo, that Shotaro Tatewaki developed his own abilities. So, a year after meeting Sakurako Kujo, the boy gradually earned the title of detective at school.

The anime only lasted one season before being completely abandoned, but Jiang Hang had read about the sequel to the novel online.

It's no wonder this is a mystery novel written by a female author. From the very beginning, the romantic relationship between the male and female protagonists was severed. The female protagonist was given a fiancé who had never appeared in the story, which also indicated that she only saw the male protagonist as her younger brother.

In terms of the setting of domestic female-oriented novels, it can also be regarded as a certain type of substitute literature, except that the substitute is a family member instead of a lover.

From this perspective, it's not a big deal, since these are settings that appeared in the early stages.

However, the novel is mostly told from the male protagonist's perspective.

All readers could see the male protagonist's special feelings for the female protagonist, so naturally they couldn't accept this outcome.

It is said that the original translation group abandoned the project because they saw the ending where the female protagonist and her fiancé went abroad.

However, Jiang Hang didn't seem to care much about these things.

After all, he always chooses to criticize the author for these things, and he doesn't project these emotions onto the characters.

What bothered him more was that the work clearly created a seemingly high-class villainous boss at the beginning, who appeared to be modeled after Moriarty, but in the end, the villain was never completely defeated and the story ended in such an ambiguous way.

Therefore, after thinking about this, Jiang Hang, knowing that this might be another five-star commission, decided to use it as a starting point to investigate the BOSS of this work and see just how strong that guy's brainwashing ability was.

At the same time, if given the opportunity, he might be able to recruit another decent subordinate.

After all, the story mentions that the male protagonist had good grades in all aspects, and later, after graduating from high school, he chose forensic medicine under the influence of the female protagonist.

As for forensic medicine, Jiang Hang is extremely familiar with it.

After resting for a night, and after letting the Miyano Sisters go to the zoo for a while, Jiang Hang went to Shotaro Tatewaki's house in the morning to meet him.

However, he seemed to be late. When he knocked on the door, the other party's mother was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Hang.

But after hearing that Jiang Hang had come to see her son, the mother showed a helpless expression.

"You know, my son has been acting all mysterious these past few months. I don't know where he's gone. He left half an hour before you came."

Mrs. Tategaki complained about her son, then couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Honestly, I was hoping to get him to help me out."

It sounds like she's a landlord with several rental properties. Now, a tenant's family has come to her asking why they can't reach their sister and want her to come over and check the room.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Hang, who had been a detective for half a year, immediately sensed the impending nature of the case.

I hope this doesn't trigger another case.

That damn detective quality of his!

He rubbed his head and asked casually, "Mrs. Tategaki, do you want your son to help open the door?"

The other person nodded naturally, without thinking much of it, "Yes, someone asked me to help like this before, but who would have thought that the old people living there had been dead for several days? I don't want to go through that again. I'd rather have my son go and help."

Seeing that Mrs. Tategaki was talking and had already taken out her phone to call her son back, Jiang Hang took the initiative to say, "If you don't mind, I can help you."

He wanted to show that he was actually a fairly well-known detective.

The other party had already answered the phone and, without saying a word, instructed their son to come back immediately.

After making the call, she waved to Jiang Hang.

"It's alright. You were looking for him anyway. He said he'll be back soon. If you don't mind, come with me first."

Jiang Hang wondered if this woman was too trusting of strangers.

He hadn't even identified himself yet, and the other party had already invited him to come along.

But that's fine too, it's good to get to the scene earlier.

This place is not far from the apartment building that the other party rented.

It took about ten minutes to walk there.

Along the way, the enthusiastic woman chatted about the trivial things happening in the streets and alleys. After learning that Jiang Hang was from Tokyo, she also told him about many good local restaurants and lesser-known tourist attractions.

It wasn't until she reached the two-story apartment building where she rented out her property that she remembered to ask about Jiang Hang's identity.

"Detective?" The fashionable-sounding profession elicited a soft gasp from her, followed by a widening of her eyes.

"Huh? Could you be the famous Eagle-Eyed Detective from Tokyo?!"

Jiang Hang had been used to this title for a long time, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when others mentioned it.

As Jiang Hang nodded to confirm that he was indeed the Eagle-Eyed Detective, the woman in her thirties immediately took out her phone and enthusiastically wanted to take a photo with Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang couldn't refuse the other party's request, so he just adjusted the photo data in the other party's album later.

Only after the photos were taken did she remember to ask Jiang Hang why he had suddenly come to see her son, and she was worried that her son might be involved in some serious case.

Jiang Hang smiled and waved his hand, "I just heard about some cases your son was involved in while traveling in Hokkaido, so I came to see what kind of person this high school detective from Hokkaido is."

"A high school detective, my son?" She seemed unable to reconcile these two words with her son, who appeared timid and was usually quiet at home.

She wanted to ask if there was a mistake, but then another stylishly dressed woman with curly hair rushed over and greeted Jiang Hang and the older woman.

Jiang Hang's gaze swept over the other person.

Underneath the white coat, she appeared to be wearing a nurse's uniform.

Not the cheap, easily torn nurse uniforms seen in those adult films, but proper, formal nurse uniforms, only in pants rather than skirts.

After all, the temperature in Hokkaido has been consistently below zero degrees Celsius, so it's really a bit of a stretch to wear short skirts and stockings in such temperatures.

Even if you're wearing pants, it probably won't keep you very warm outdoors in this situation.

As the other person stood in front of him, Jiang Hang smelled a peculiar perfume scent.

With his Advanced Disguise skills, Jiang Hang could probably identify the type and model of perfume using this ability.

Although Jiang Hang has basically never dressed as a woman in real life, his disguise skills don't care about such things.

Regardless of age or gender, everything useful was instilled into Jiang Hang's mind through the learning space.

Etiquette, drinks, cosmetics, languages, and even major dialects are not required in basic and intermediate disguise skills, but they are essential for Advanced Disguise skills.

According to Jiang Hang's estimate, Advanced Disguise may include a large number of basic and near-basic daily life skills, making it a versatile skill that allows people to adapt to the current environment and play a role at any time.

That's why Jiang Hang used a few advanced skill upgrade books to upgrade it to advanced level.

Going further up the ladder, it would probably involve developing even more identities that can be disguised, including extremely niche professions that would allow him to perfectly disguise himself.

However, since it is only a derivative ability attached to the disguise skill, Jiang Hang's knowledge of perfume is obviously not as good as that of alcoholic beverages, which he is proficient in.

If Jiang Hang had a skill that was proficient in perfumes or cosmetics, he might be able to tell what perfume the other person was wearing just by looking at it.

While Jiang Hang was using Eagle Eye to analyze the identity and profession of the woman in front of him, she had already given her name.

Yoshimi Mizushima is the Kiyomi Mizushima, a tenant living here.

Because I hadn't been able to contact my sister for two days, I decided to come over and check on her. However, I found that I couldn't open her door no matter how hard I knocked, so I thought of contacting the landlord.

"Is that the room?" Jiang Hang asked, pointing to the room at the very front of the second floor where the curtains were drawn.

"It really is that one. How could you tell?"

"After all, the weather is pretty good today. If we get up, we'll probably open the curtains to let in some fresh air," Jiang Hang said, pointing to the curtains.

More importantly, the lights were on inside.

Although it's hard to see this during the day now, it's really not a problem for Jiang Hang.

"As expected of Eagle-Eyed Detective, he can even notice such a small detail."

Jiang Hang waved his hand, then looked at Yoshimi Mizushima, whose eyes also showed some surprise.

After all, the name Eagle-Eyed Detective is indeed very prestigious.

"Miss Mizushima, you haven't been able to contact your sister for two days, so you suspect something has happened to her?"

Yoshimi Mizushima was startled by Jiang Hang's gaze, and then nodded somewhat nervously to indicate that it was true.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she quickly produced her phone records with her sister as proof.

Jiang Hang then looked away, didn't ask any more questions, and nodded to indicate that he could go up.
