The Beika Wolf Case Comes to an End / The Eel Rice Detective ...
He felt this was just a warning. As long as Nishitani Miho stopped thinking about running away, he wouldn't do anything to Nishitani Miho.
However, Nishitani Miho actually called the police and had him detained. Even his parents found out about it and scolded him severely over the phone again.
Even his brother and that woman clearly showed their dissatisfaction with him.
As a result, his inner balance was completely disrupted.
He wanted to torture and kill Nishitani Miho in the most cruel way, and then commit suicide before being caught by the police, so that his arrogant family would never be able to hold their heads high again!
In Jiang Hang's mind, these memories played out like a movie at high speed. In fact, only a few seconds had passed in real time after he finished reading the other party's criminal psychology record.
When this happened for the first time, Jiang Hang immediately thought of the "Bloodline Enhancement" quest reward he had received a few days ago.
In Assassin's Creed, there is a classic setting where, after the protagonist assassinates an important figure, he and the person he killed enter a place similar to a "memory space" where the protagonist can have a final interrogation of the target.
The protagonist in the French Revolution is even able to "see" the past memories of those he has dealt with.
Now, it seems that he has gained similar abilities after his assassin bloodline was enhanced.
But can we see the criminal psychology of the perpetrator after solving the case?
It doesn't sound like a very pleasant ability, but it seems that he can skip the standard explanation of motives for murder after the killers are caught?
Without dwelling on his newly acquired magical ability, Jiang Hang casually took off his wig and threw it aside. Then he got off the bed and let Nishitani Miho, who was hiding in the closet, come out.
"Caught red-handed, we can call the police now," Jiang Hang glanced at Nagai Tatsuya beside him. After seeing the man's criminal mentality, Jiang Hang felt even more disgusted with him.
He controlled his strength quite well; this man wouldn't be able to get up from the ground within five minutes.
However, he now feels that he was too lenient with his punch.
Nagai Tatsuya, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, stared at Jiang Hang in disbelief.
The "Nishitani Miho" he thought she was was actually an imposter by another man. Where did this man come from?
He wanted to say something to Jiang Hang with a ferocious expression, but because of the pain in his lower body, he could not make any sound except howl.
Jiang Hang continued speaking to the still somewhat shaken Nishitani Miho: "The matter has been resolved now. In addition, I know some excellent lawyers who will be very willing to provide you with legal assistance."
Chapter 182: Chapter 180: The Mihuazhi Wolf Case Concluded
Nagai Tatsuya, the Mihuazhi Wolf and his Inspector Megure, who arrived after receiving a call from the police.
It is almost certain that Nagai Tatsuya committed attempted rape. Two weeks ago, Nagai Tatsuya had already been detained for stalking. The footage captured by the camera, the tools in Nagai Tatsuya's bag, and the marks he left when he pried open the lock can all serve as evidence.
In such a case, the police would definitely search Nagai Tatsuya's room. Jiang Hang clearly saw in Nagai Tatsuya's criminal psychology that he had written a "suicide note" before committing this crime, expressing his dissatisfaction and ridicule towards his parents and family.
What was originally a case of home invasion and rape will likely become a case of home invasion, rape, and murder once the police find the suicide note.
Jiang Hang has absolutely no liking for Nagai Tatsuya, a pervert and scoundrel who vents his frustrations on innocent people, but he still supports Nagai Tatsuya's self-destructive behavior.
Meanwhile, the police are still searching Nishitani Miho's room.
Even though the police were searching her room Nagai Tatsuya's expression still seemed a little off.
Shizuka Sakaki assumed that Nishitani Miho hadn't recovered from what had just happened, so she quietly comforted her from the side.
Jiang Hang, who had just finished explaining the details to Inspector Megure, returned. After seeing Nishitani Miho's expression, Jiang Hang asked Shizuka Sakaki to go and explain what she had seen to Inspector Megure.
After Shizuka Sakaki obediently left, Jiang Hang walked over to Nishitani Miho.
"Don't worry, I disposed of that bottle of pesticide you bought a while ago this morning."
Under Nishitani Miho's surprised gaze, Jiang Hang continued to whisper to her, "I know that was just your last resort to protect yourself, and in the end you chose to trust me and didn't go that far, so you don't need to worry about anything now."
Instead of thinking about these things, you should think about what to eat tonight to celebrate.
Before Nishitani Miho could express her gratitude, Jiang Hang jokingly reminded her, "I've already heard enough thanks. Before you celebrate with a big meal tonight, just remember to leave me my commission fee."
However, Jiang Hang's joke did not seem to bring a smile to Nishitani Miho; instead, it quickly made her eyes well up with tears.
When Shizuka Sakaki returned from being questioned by Inspector Megure, she saw Nishitani Miho crying her eyes out, and Jiang Hang standing there helplessly.
"Jiang Hang- kun... what's wrong with Miss Nishimoto?" Shizuka Sakaki secretly asked Jiang Hang.
"She's probably crying tears of joy because she doesn't have to worry about being followed by that guy Nagai Tatsuya anymore. Let her vent her emotions," Jiang Hang said, scratching his head and coaxing Shizuka Sakaki over.
In conclusion, the case of the Mihuazhi Wolf has come to an end.
Jiang Hang also received a three-star mission reward and an intermediate skill training book from the system.
The next morning, while Jiang Hang was still lounging around in the office, planning to watch an episode of a new anime before heading out to work, Nishitani Miho came to his door with the commission fee to express her gratitude.
Compared to the somewhat haggard look on Nishitani Miho's face a couple of days ago, today Nishitani Miho clearly dressed herself up well before going out, and she seemed to be in much better spirits than before.
To Jiang Hang's surprise, in addition to the commission fee, Nishitani Miho also specially sent a gift of egg tarts and pastries that she had made herself.
However, he quickly recalled that in Nagai Tatsuya's memory, before Nishitani Miho came to Tokyo Yokohama, she seemed to work in a bakery, so it was not surprising that she could make sweets.
The reason she chose to work in an izakaya (Japanese pub) after arriving in Tokyo was because the stalker Nagai Tatsuya made her afraid to sleep at night.
"Actually, I've wanted to open my own confectionery shop since I was very young, so I've been working hard towards that goal all these years. However, because of that man, this is the first time I've made confectionery in the two months I've been in Tokyo. Please forgive me if there's anything wrong with the taste, Detective."
Seeing that Nishitani Miho seemed to be waiting for his evaluation, Jiang Hang picked up one of the egg tarts and said, "Actually, I'm quite casual about food. If you want me to give you some advice, I'm afraid I can't help you."
It looks like these egg tarts were made by Nishitani Miho not long ago; you could still feel the warmth inside when you ate them in Jiang Hang.
As a straightforward young man who isn't picky about food, Jiang Hang's evaluation of food is roughly divided into three levels: "Delicious", "not bad", and "never touch it again after taking a bite". If he had to give a rating, he would say, "Maybe I'm not used to this kind of taste yet".
Jiang Hang also gave a very straightforward review of Nishitani Miho's carefully made dessert. "It's pretty delicious. I think you could open your own shop."
After eating one, to prove he wasn't lying, Jiang Hang invited the two girls Koharu Yoshino and Shizuka Sakaki, to come and try Nishitani Miho's sweets together.
Nishitani Miho's pastry skills are indeed quite good, Shizuka Sakaki and the others also praised the egg tart.
After hearing Jiang Hang's evaluation, Nishitani Miho seemed to feel much more at ease, and then she told Jiang Hang about her future plans.
"I plan to quit my job at the izakaya and then find a job at a bakery or cake shop nearby. Once I've saved enough money, I'll open my own confectionery shop."
Jiang Hang nodded in agreement. "With your skills, it's really a waste for you to be a waiter at an izakaya. But opening a confectionery shop would probably require saving up for a long time, right?"
"I've saved some money over the years. I plan to work in Tokyo for a few years, then go back to Yokohama to get a bank loan to open a confectionery shop," Nishitani Miho said, seemingly not wanting to continue the conversation on this topic, and instead letting Jiang Hang continue to taste the other confectionery.
Jiang Hang was eating snacks on one side, while Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino were watching Jiang Hang Nishitani Miho smile as she watched him eat.
The two women exchanged a glance, sensing that Ms. Nishitani Miho's arrival was not without reason.
Chapter 183: Chapter 181: The Eel Rice Detective
Two days later, Imai Midori, who came to the office to pick up the case records, heard Shizuka Sakaki's suspicions.
"You mean that Ms. Nishitani, whom we met at the izakaya that day, might be interested in Mr. Jiang Hang?"
Jiang Hang is not at the agency right now; he's gone to Musashino Animation to discuss a collaboration. It's unclear whether Jiang Hang Musashino Animation will become his property when he returns.
In short, Shizuka Sakaki doesn't need to worry that Jiang Hang will hear their current discussion.
Shizuka Sakaki nodded seriously to Imai Midori: "After Jiang Hang- kun saved her, she specially made a dessert for the agency the next day, and she came again yesterday, saying that she had found a job at a bakery near our agency and that we should come more often. Anyway, I find it quite suspicious."
After working as an assistant at the detective agency for two months, Shizuka Sakaki now speaks with a hint of the demeanor of a detective's assistant.
"That's not surprising. Mr. Jiang Hang is a very capable detective, and now he has saved her life from a stalker. If it were me, I would also develop feelings for Mr. Jiang Hang."
Imai Midori said this, then paused for a moment, and then asked with interest if Jiang Hang had any reaction.
Shizuka Sakaki frowned slightly, seemingly pondering whether Jiang Hang would have any particular reaction.
After thinking for more than ten seconds, she shook her head firmly. "Jiang Hang just told her that if she wanted to buy bread in the future, she would go to that bakery. I didn't feel anything special about other places. I only remember that Jiang Hang ate as fast as ever. No matter what kind of snacks or desserts they were, as long as they were placed next to him, they would definitely be finished in less than ten minutes."
Upon hearing Shizuka Sakaki's words, Imai Midori quickly memorized Jiang Hang's characteristic.
"I see. Mr. Jiang Hang has this habit? I can add it to the story when I get back..."
After muttering to herself, Imai Midori looked at Shizuka Sakaki again. "With Mr. Jiang Hang's keen observation skills, he must be aware of Ms. Nishiya's thoughts. Moreover, Mr. Jiang Hang did say to Ms. Nishiya, 'I will go to that bakery if I want to buy bread in the future.' Isn't that a subtle way of telling Ms. Nishiya that he doesn't have such thoughts right now?"
Shizuka Sakaki, who had initially thought Jiang Hang hadn't noticed the matter, nodded in agreement after hearing Imai Midori's analysis.
After all, Jiang Hang's amazing observation and judgment over the past two months had left a deep impression on her. It seemed that nothing could stump Jiang Hang so far. So it wasn't surprising that Jiang Hang used this method to politely refuse the other party.
"But I'm afraid Ms. Nishitani didn't notice Jiang Hang's polite refusal. When she left the agency yesterday, she was saying that she would send the new desserts over for Jiang Hang's evaluation next time she made them," said Shizuka Sakaki, as if she was also sighing for Nishitani Miho.
Stopping the conversation about the other person, Shizuka Sakaki noticed that besides the crime record, Imai Midori was also carrying a bag of books. "Did you buy all these books?"
Imai Midori quickly shook her head. "These are all books I borrowed from the library a while ago. I'm going to return them now, and I'll also borrow some new books on scripts and mystery to study."
Upon hearing that Imai Midori was going to the library, Shizuka Sakaki became somewhat interested.
Because Jiang Hang went to Musashino Animation, the agency was closed this afternoon. She originally planned to go to the tokusatsu company to continue looking for monsters, but going to the library, which she hadn't been to in a long time, to change her mood seemed like a good idea.
With this in mind, Shizuka Sakaki and Imai Midori went together to the nearby Beika Library.
However, somewhat coincidentally, Shizuka Sakaki actually ran into Conan she hadn't seen for several days, and his close friends at the library.
She remembered that these kids had formed a "Detective Boys" some time ago.
"Conan, you guys are at the library too?" Shizuka Sakaki greeted Conan, who was standing to the side.
Before Conan could even respond, the chubby Genta seemed to have remembered Shizuka Sakaki's identity. "Oh! I remember you, you're the assistant sister next to the Eel Rice Detective!"
Hearing this elementary school student refer to Jiang Hang as the "Eel Rice Detective," Shizuka Sakaki couldn't help but smile.
However, the boy named Mitsuhiko next to him quickly reminded Genta: "It's not 'Eel Rice Detective,' it's 'Eagle-Eyed Detective,' Genta, don't keep calling him that just because he treated you to Eel Rice once!"
Ayumi, the only girl among them, politely called Shizuka Sakaki "Shizuka" and then explained why they had come to the library together.
Their elementary school assigned a reading reflection assignment, so they've come to the library to find some books to complete it.
"Shizuka, are you also here at the library to do your homework?"
"My older sister is old enough to not have to do homework anymore," Shizuka Sakaki glanced at the children and then said to Imai Midori, "Midori, you go find some books first. I know these children, I'll take them to find some children's books."
"I'll contact you again after I find it," Imai Midori nodded, smiled and greeted the members of the Detective Boys, then went to find the book she needed.
Meanwhile, Shizuka Sakaki, along with the Detective Boys who were envious of her not having to do homework, headed to the children's book section of the library.
The children's library mainly contained comics and fairy tales. Apart from Conan, the other children excitedly started looking for the books they wanted to read as soon as they entered the library.
Conan glanced at the pile of fairy tales, but just seeing the titles of these books made him completely lose the desire to pick them up and read them.
However, with Shizuka Sakaki right next to him, he still had to act like a child.
Just as he was about to pretend to grab a book, a familiar siren sounded, which made him run to the windowsill, stand on a stool, and look out the window.
He hadn't misheard; a police car had indeed stopped in front of the library, and the person who got out of the police car was none other than Inspector Megure, whom he knew very well.
And Inspector Megure, who is in charge of investigating murder and kidnapping cases in the Investigation Division One, is here... Could it be that a major case has occurred in the library?
Thinking of this, Conan immediately became alert.
Chapter 184: Chapter 182: The Mysterious Disappearance of Library Staff
Not only Conan noticed the sirens, but Shizuka Sakaki also noticed the sound of the police cars and came to Conan's side to look down with him.
"Oh, it's Inspector Megure. What happened at the library?" Having spent a long time with Jiang Hang, Shizuka Sakaki is quite familiar with Inspector Megure and other police officers she frequently deals with.
If it were Conan in his usual manner, he would probably run downstairs immediately to greet Inspector Megure and try to get information out of him about what happened.
However, after receiving careful instruction from Jiang Hang, Conan quickly set his sights on Shizuka Sakaki.
He tugged at Shizuka Sakaki beside him and suggested in a childlike tone, "Shizuka, aren't you Brother Jiang Hang's assistant? Let's go down and see what happened. Maybe we can help Inspector Megure!"
Shizuka Sakaki wasn't that confident in her abilities; these past few days, she and Koharu Yoshino had only been able to handle simple requests.
Inspector Megure and his team handle cases involving murder and kidnapping, and she figured she should just stay out of trouble and never thought she could be of any help.
But unable to resist Conan's encouragement, saying things like, "Let's find out what's going on first, and then we can ask Brother Jiang Hang for help," Shizuka Sakaki finally led Conan downstairs to the library.
"Aren't you going to tell your friends?" Shizuka Sakaki glanced at the other children who were still searching for books in the bookshelf and asked Conan.
Conan's lips twitched: After spending two months with those kids, he knew their personalities all too well. They were fearless and always wanted to take care of everything. He had spent a lot of energy taking care of and ensuring their safety over the past two months.
If he were to tell them about this now, those kids would probably clamor to come with him, and he had absolutely no desire to do something that would cause him trouble.
With this in mind, Conan quickly pulled Shizuka Sakaki away from the children's library, explaining to her, "No need, we're just going down to check on things and will be back soon. They won't notice!"
The two of them quickly walked to the elevator. Just then, the elevator doors were not yet closed, and Shizuka Sakaki hurriedly led Conan into the elevator.
Unexpectedly, after the two of them entered the elevator, the elevator overload warning sounded immediately.
Shizuka Sakaki glanced at the notice written on the elevator wall. The elevator's capacity was not large, and the notice only stated that it could carry 7 people.
If you include Conan, there are exactly 8 people in this elevator.
