The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Various Anime - Chapter 31

The predictive danger from Mind's Eye, combined with the instinctive reactions when dealing with danger, plus the assassin's bloodline that had been enhanced once, meant that for a shooting of this level, as long as Jiang Hang maintained his focus, even if it happened a hundred more times, Gin wouldn't be able to hit Jiang Hang even once.

One had to know that in the training space of Mind's Eye, let alone dodging shots from three meters away, there were countless times where a gun was directly pressed against his head.

It was just that dodging bullets in the training space and dodging bullets in reality felt completely different.

"But Gin's intuition is really amazing. I was so far away, and I just forgot to turn on Presence Concealment, and he still noticed me... This world is really magical," Jiang Hang muttered to himself.

In his Eagle Vision, he could clearly see Gin inexplicably observing and searching in his direction. It was just that Gin would never have imagined that Jiang Hang would be monitoring them from hundreds of meters away.

"They even found what I deliberately left behind. You guys can ponder whether Miyano Akemi is dead or not." Jiang Hang smiled.

He never expected that his words would make the suspicious Gin believe that Miyano Akemi was dead.

However, as long as the Black Organization believed that Miyano Akemi had a high probability of being dead, it was enough.

As for the Brotherhood or whatever, let the Black Organization investigate it themselves. They would probably never find anything even if they investigated until they died.

"Speaking of which, Miyano Akemi and Conan should both be handled, right? If anything goes wrong on their end, all our efforts will be in vain."

Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Professor Agasa, Who Masters Core Black Technology

When Jiang Hang saw Miyano Akemi again, she had already brought the one billion yen she had obtained from robbing the bank to Professor Agasa's home with the help of Conan and Professor Agasa.

At this moment, Jiang Hang had naturally resumed his original appearance.

When Miyano Akemi saw Jiang Hang arrive, her first reaction was to look behind him.

Even though the hope was slim, she was still dreaming of the organization letting her and her sister leave the organization.

However, it was clear that her sister was not following behind Jiang Hang.

Knowing what she was thinking, Jiang Hang directly threw her a voice recorder.

"As per your request, I've asked them the questions you wanted to ask those two. But I think you already know their answers. This is the recording between me and that Gin. You'll know once you listen to it."

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's words, Miyano Akemi's expression turned a bit gloomy, but she still said "Thank you" to Jiang Hang.

Giving her enough personal space, Jiang Hang looked at Professor Agasa and Conan, who were by the side.

This was his first formal meeting with Professor Agasa, but the man looked no different from his anime counterpart: the standard white coat of a researcher, the receding hairline symbolizing wisdom, and of course, the large belly full of knowledge.

He remembered that when he was young, he had heard from somewhere that the main boss in Detective Conan was actually this seemingly honest and kind inventor. He had been half-believing it for a long time. Although he later learned it was a rumor, seeing the man now, he couldn't help but think of it.

"You must be Jiang Hang. I've heard a lot about you from Little Conan recently," Professor Agasa greeted Jiang Hang and introduced himself.

Only now did Jiang Hang realize what Professor Agasa's real name was, something he had wondered about for many years. It turned out "Professor Agasa" was indeed his full name!?

He quickly greeted the great figure who mastered core black technology: "Hello, hello, Professor Agasa. Your inventions for Conan are also very impressive, truly eye-opening."

After flattering him, Jiang Hang then looked at Conan.

"The process of withdrawing that one billion yen, there weren't any accidents, right?"

At this moment, Conan's expression was one of helplessness.

He, a dignified great detective, had previously faked a murder scene for a bank robber, and now he had to be responsible for hiding and guarding the stolen one billion yen. If anyone found out, he would probably be charged with "harboring a criminal."

But for Miyano Akemi's safety, and even more so to avoid being discovered by the Black Organization himself, he wouldn't dare risk leaking the one billion yen unless he could ensure not a single trace of it would be revealed.

Therefore, he said to Jiang Hang with a dejected look: "No problem, Miss Miyano withdrew the money according to your instructions. But is it really okay to have her use her own appearance to withdraw the money?"

One had to know that Miyano Akemi had deposited the one billion yen in a hotel, and that hotel would definitely have surveillance footage.

"That's why I added some disguise to her original appearance," Jiang Hang explained to Conan. "I've already met with the Black Organization members using Miyano Akemi's appearance, so they will definitely scrutinize the other Miyano Akemi appearing in the surveillance video. At least if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to confirm whether the Miyano Akemi appearing in the surveillance video was the real Miyano Akemi, but rather it would only cause them more doubt."

Gin, having been tricked by Jiang Hang once, if he found flaws in the surveillance video that Jiang Hang left behind, he would also be very likely to judge that it was another disguise created by the "Brotherhood" he fabricated, using Miyano Akemi's appearance.

Conan knew Jiang Hang's disguise skills, and in terms of professionalism in this area, he chose to believe what Jiang Hang said.

"After withdrawing the one billion yen, with Professor Agasa's help, the car was also disguised along the way, and it wasn't captured by any cameras."

Jiang Hang nodded: "There are no other problems. As long as the murder scene you set up in Miyano Akemi's house can fool the Black Organization again, this entire 'crossing the sea under camouflage' plan will be a complete success."

As a law-abiding detective, this was Conan's first time doing something like this, and he felt a little guilty.

However, thinking that the target of his deception was the Black Organization, he felt much better.

"So, this one billion yen really has to be kept here? Is there no better way to handle it?"

"Of course there is," Jiang Hang tapped Conan's head. "You can put the one billion yen on my end. I can come over late at night to handle things and guarantee not to leave any traces."

After saying that, he saw Conan roll his eyes at him, as if to say, what's the difference between the two?

Jiang Hang also sighed: "So, this one billion yen will stay here, or I'll take it to my place tonight. Once the Black Organization is uprooted, all the truth will come to light."

As he said this, he looked at Conan: "You're not worried that I'll secretly misuse this one billion yen, are you?"

Jiang Hang felt that he, a detective (assassin) with a cheat, had not gotten involved in Conan's main storyline before. Now that he had encountered it, if he couldn't even deal with the Black Organization, which was full of traitors, then his transmigration here would be too much of a failure.

Even if he couldn't handle it now, he could just lie low and develop himself, waiting until he was fully equipped to go to the Black Organization's headquarters and go on a rampage.

Speaking of which, he had dealt with a group of drug traffickers on Moon Shadow Island and received a five-star case evaluation. What level of case would eliminating the Black Organization be?

Jiang Hang estimated that if he really wiped out the Black Organization, his system would at least have to give him a seven or eight-star case to be reasonable. As for the rewards, he thought a set of Eden divine artifacts or directly a set of Heroic Spirit templates would be about right.

While Jiang Hang was dreaming of getting rich overnight after destroying the Black Organization, Conan was skeptical of what Jiang Hang had said.

You say it so easily, but is it really that simple?

He thought about how difficult it would be to uproot the organization if everyone in it was like Gin and Vodka, who were now in the form of children.

For now, the billion yen in stolen money would have to remain with Professor Agasa or Jiang Hang for a long time.

Conan finally accepted this reality. He remembered that Jiang Hang had just confronted the Black Organization head-on, and was now concerned, asking about the organization and how he managed to escape from them.

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Conan's Suspicion of Jiang Hang

Actually, after seeing Jiang Hang return safely from confronting the Black Organization, Conan had a suspicion he'd never considered before – that Jiang Hang was also a member of the Black Organization!

And not just an ordinary member, perhaps even higher ranked than Gin!

Or, even if he wasn't part of the Black Organization, perhaps his connection to them was unclear due to the foundation behind him.

It was for this reason that Jiang Hang knew that people in the organization used alcoholic beverages as codenames, and that he wouldn't be in any danger when he went to meet Gin.

Thinking of this possibility, Conan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He even recalled more details.

The first time he met Jiang Hang was the night he had shrunk, right at his doorstep.

Although it seemed like a coincidence, what if Jiang Hang was sent by the organization to check if he was still alive?

The next time he saw Jiang Hang, the man had suddenly become a detective. Was he looking for him, the missing detective, to make it easier to gather information?

During their subsequent meetings, although there were no obvious issues, Conan now felt that Jiang Hang's attitude towards him had been somewhat strange.

If Jiang Hang was truly a high-ranking member of the organization, with that terrifying observational skill, Conan's identity as Shinichi Kudo would likely be discovered very quickly!

What would happen to him and the safety of those around him then?

It wasn't until Jiang Hang tapped his head again that Conan realized how much he had imagined.

He shook his head slightly, knowing that his guesses were likely baseless. Jiang Hang's usual lazy demeanor and his actions in recent events were nothing like someone from a terrifying criminal organization.

But considering that even the lowest probability could still be a fact, he silently buried his recent thoughts.

He had to investigate and confirm this matter discreetly.

He thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang had no idea what Conan was thinking. If he knew, he would have definitely given Conan a good beating: "I taught you so many life philosophies, and you suspect me of being part of the Black Organization?"

He patiently recounted his meeting with the Black Organization.

However, seeing Conan's doubtful expression about him dodging bullets, Jiang Hang decided not to explain further.

Come to think of it, there were quite a few people in Conan's world who could dodge bullets, right? Besides Kyogoku Makoto, who was an outlier, didn't Kaito Kid also dodge bullets with his skills?

Conan didn't believe him now, but Jiang Hang didn't care. If the system rewarded him with skills like Bullet Time someday, he could even perform a Hidden Blade cutting bullets trick for Conan on the spot.

As he said this, he looked at Professor Agasa beside him. "Professor Agasa, I've troubled you a lot this time. If you ever encounter any funding issues with your inventions and research in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. Although I can't take out too much money right now, a few hundred million is no problem."

Although Jiang Hang was currently saving money to realize another ambition, Professor Agasa was a master with core technology. Building a good relationship with him might be beneficial in the future if Jiang Hang needed help modifying equipment obtained from the system.

Professor Agasa knew from Conan that Jiang Hang was indeed a wealthy individual.

Of course, Professor Agasa wasn't poor either. Being able to buy such a villa and convert it into a research institute for various studies meant he wasn't short of money. However, what inventor would complain about having too much research funding?

Moreover, Jiang Hang was talking about hundreds of millions of yen, which was enough for him to conduct research for several months.

Therefore, his attitude towards Jiang Hang improved significantly.

Conan, on the other hand, kept giving Professor Agasa meaningful glances, wanting to discuss Jiang Hang with him. However, Professor Agasa became more and more engrossed in his conversation with Jiang Hang, completely oblivious to Conan's signals.

At this moment, Miyano Akemi walked over, her eyes slightly red, holding the voice recorder. It was clear she had heard Gin's cold and ruthless words firsthand.

Taking the voice recorder from her, Jiang Hang casually tossed it to Conan. "You wanted to know the specifics, didn't you? Take it and listen to it yourself."

After speaking to Conan, he turned to Miyano Akemi. "Miss Miyano, you should be very clear about your current situation, shouldn't you?"

Miyano Akemi nodded gently. "I've betrayed the organization. Even though I'm just an outer member, if they knew I was here, it would put all of you in danger."

"I've been in the organization for so many years and committed many crimes. I'm aware of all of this, and I'm willing to atone for my sins."

Knowing she had this resolve and was now a potential witness, Jiang Hang didn't dwell on the topic.

"Let's put atonement aside for now. You also know that regardless of what happens, you can't continue using identities like Miyano Akemi or Masami Hirota. Therefore, you must have a new identity that won't be detected by the Black Organization."

Miyano Akemi listened quietly to Jiang Hang's words. Conan, having just received the voice recorder, perked up his ears, wanting to know how Jiang Hang would handle Miyano Akemi.

"I'll give you two options. The first is that I'll teach you some simple disguise techniques and arrange a new identity for you. You'll work at my art museum from then on. The price is that you can't leave the vicinity of the museum casually, nor can you appear in front of too many people. I'll do my best to protect you, and we can discuss your atonement after the Black Organization is completely eradicated."

Seeing no change in Miyano Akemi's expression, Jiang Hang presented her with a second option. "As for the other option, I recall you mentioning this afternoon that you were targeted by the organization because you led an FBI undercover agent into the Black Organization five years ago. I believe you still have that person's contact information. I can help you contact him and have him take responsibility for protecting you. I believe the FBI should be capable of handling such matters."

This time, a flicker of surprise appeared on Conan's face, and Miyano Akemi's expression showed even greater astonishment, seemingly completely unexpected that Jiang Hang would offer her such a choice.

I'll continue writing and will post as many chapters as I can tonight. Thank you all for your continued support.

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Miyano Akemi's Choice

Miyano Akemi hesitated between the two options.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hang was also contemplating the FBI undercover agent, codenamed "Dai Moroboshi," whom Miyano Akemi had mentioned earlier that afternoon.

Fortunately, his codename wasn't "Dan Moroboshi," otherwise the Black Organization would likely have been wiped out by him long ago.

In short, although Jiang Hang hadn't watched the TV anime version of Conan in a long time, he still knew about the FBI undercover agent's identity who infiltrated the Black Organization thanks to the later movies filled with explosive special effects and introduced to the big screen in China.

If the FBI hadn't sent a second undercover agent into the Black Organization, their real name should be Shuichi Akai, the one who had a love-hate relationship with another undercover agent sent by the Japanese Public Security Bureau to the Black Organization, Toru Amuro, on the Ferris wheel in the movie Pure Black Nightmare.

To be honest, regarding Shuichi Akai, Jiang Hang, who had only watched the movies, didn't know about his past stories. He only knew that he should be on the protagonist's side. The rest was purely the impression the movie left him with – he was a great driver, a skilled sniper, and truly courageous.

At least, if Jiang Hang were to climb to the top of a Ferris wheel dozens or even hundreds of meters high to fight someone right now, he would feel a bit uneasy even with a Leap of Faith.

As a result, those two undercover agents from the Black Organization, who were supposed to cooperate, were fighting back and forth on top of the Ferris wheel, completely disregarding the possibility of falling.

Even if the scene of the two Captain Americas fighting each other from Avengers: Endgame were placed on this set, it wouldn't feel out of place at all. They were practically more heroic than superheroes.

Besides that, the most profound impression the movie left on Jiang Hang was how many undercover agents were mixed into the Black Organization. It seemed that throughout the entire movie, apart from Gin and a few snipers around him who specialized in killing their own people, all the other organization members who appeared were undercover agents from other countries. It was even the case that when they finally found a reliable informant, he ended up betraying them in the end.

Ahem, anyway, let's not dwell on the number of undercover agents and traitors in the Black Organization for now. Jiang Hang could now see the hesitation and reminiscence on Miyano Akemi's face when he mentioned the person, which made him certain that those two had a past relationship.

He was even thinking internally that Miyano Akemi should quickly give him Shuichi Akai's contact information so he could contact that guy and have him take Miyano Akemi back.

After all, he was an FBI agent. If they were willing to protect Miyano Akemi, Jiang Hang wouldn't have to expend so much energy.

However, after a brief hesitation, Miyano Akemi still shook her head.

"The fewer people who know about my affairs, the better. The more people who know, the greater the risk of exposure. Not yet... If the Organization finds out about me, my sister could be in danger too," Miyano Akemi no longer hesitated, but looked at Jiang Hang with certainty. "As long as I don't show myself, my sister can at least continue to live peacefully within the Organization..."

She even imagined the Organization threatening her with her sister's life, and she dared not gamble on such a possibility.

Hearing her say that, Jiang Hang knew that as long as Miyano Shiho hadn't left the Black Organization, Miyano Akemi wouldn't have any other thoughts.

Should he go and rescue Miyano Shiho, who hadn't yet become Ai Haibara, and reunite the sisters?

However, unfortunately, Miyano Akemi was only an outer member of the Organization. Even her sister, she could only contact her a few times a month, and she had no idea which research institute she was conducting drug research at.

Of course, there was also the most realistic point: even if Miyano Akemi knew where her sister's research institute was, Jiang Hang might not dare to go there. He met with Gin today, and he had confirmed with Eagle Vision outside that the man wasn't carrying any heavy weaponry, just a small handgun each. That's why he dared to go in and show off to Gin.
