A month and a half ago, the exposure of the Moon Shadow Island incident severely impacted Tokyo's drug market.

Before this, Moon Shadow Island was a small island on the edge of the Tokyo metropolitan area, and apart from the island's residents, almost no one knew of Moon Shadow Island existence.

The drug trade on Moon Shadow Island began twelve years ago. Over the years, before it was discovered by the police, a considerable amount of drugs from abroad flowed into Tokyo from this seemingly insignificant island.

Now that the road has been cut off by the police, Tokyo's drug market will naturally be affected.

Tsugawa Shuji entered the drug trade market about a month ago.

After all these years working in the library, Tsugawa Shuji hadn't really made much money off his position as librarian.

By chance, he became involved with the notorious underworld organization, Nisame Association. Driven by his inner desire for money, he began using the library to help Nisame Association sell drugs.

In just half a month, he earned more money than he had worked hard for half a year, which strengthened his determination to continue on this path.

Unexpectedly, less than a month later, his possession of drugs in the library was discovered by a library employee, which forced him to kill the man and hide his body in the elevator.

He thought he had been very discreet, but the police still managed to find out.

He's definitely going to be wanted by the police now, but luckily he's been feeling uneasy these past few days and has moved most of the drugs he hid in the library out. With the savings he's accumulated over the years, he'll be safe as long as he can escape to the territory of the Nisame Association.

That's what Tsugawa Shuji was thinking, and he was walking briskly toward the nearby open-air parking lot.

After he started selling drugs, he had already secretly prepared his escape route. Now that the police have only just discovered the body in the elevator, he could easily drive away before the police catch up.

He walked discreetly to the parking lot, Tsugawa Shuji that he was only one step away from escaping.

"The police are nothing special... Even if that woman finds Tamada's body, it won't be so easy for her to catch me."

He muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, while opening the door of the car he had prepared earlier and getting into the driver's seat.

He glanced at the drugs he had temporarily moved from his car and felt that these were his guarantee for his future livelihood.

As he drove his car out of the parking lot, Tsugawa Shuji thought he had successfully escaped.

However, just as he was about to drive out of the parking lot, a black and white car with an old-fashioned design blocked his way.

Tsugawa Shuji recognized the car as an 86, an old model that had been around for many years.

However, it seems that the owner of this car is a novice driver who has only recently obtained his driver's license, as can be seen from his extremely clumsy reverse parking technique.

Tsugawa Shuji watched as the car owner slowly tried to reverse into the parking space, but each time it seemed to fall just short, resulting in him having to start over.

Even an ordinary person would be worried if they saw that person's skills, let alone Tsugawa Shuji is now in a hurry to run away.

Seeing that the other party had blocked the only way out of the parking lot, Tsugawa Shuji couldn't help but press the car horn hard, and he began to feel anxious.

You see, every time he watches this guy painstakingly reverse into the parking space, his precious time to get away is wasted by this guy for more than half a minute.

Upon hearing the horn, the owner of the 86 leaned out of the window apologetically. "Sorry, I just got my driver's license last month and I don't drive often. Let me try again. I'll definitely back it in next time."

Then, under Tsugawa Shuji's anxious gaze, the young man failed to pour it in again the next time, and even worse than before.

Tsugawa Shuji couldn't hold back any longer. He leaned out of his seat and shouted at the driver of the 86, "Could you make way for me? I'm in a hurry. Let me drive out first, and you can back up slowly, okay?"

After hearing his shout, the owner of the 86 responded, but after a while, the 86 still showed no sign of moving.

After a while, the owner of the 86 popped his head out and shouted at him, "Excuse me, I keep stalling when I get nervous. Could you come and help me take a look?"

If he could, Tsugawa Shuji really wanted to just drive his car into the person blocking his escape route. Why did this person have to appear at this exact moment?

But he knew he absolutely couldn't get excited right now.

Tsugawa Shuji took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He got out of his car, walked quickly to the 86, and began to give a live demonstration.

"Press the clutch, shift gears, and slowly release the clutch. Don't be nervous, release it slowly... Why would you release it all at once!"

Sensing that the young man seemed to be looking at him, Tsugawa Shuji became even angrier. "Don't look at me, look at your car!"

"If you really can't do it, come out and I'll back up for you!" Seeing that he had been delayed by this guy for three or four minutes, Tsugawa Shuji said this directly to the young man.

As expected of a seasoned driver from decades ago, Tsugawa Shuji parked the car very quickly.

Anticipating that the police might arrive at any moment, Tsugawa Shuji wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to get back to his car and leave as soon as possible.

However, for some reason, when he got off the car and had only taken a few steps, his body suddenly felt weak and he seemed to have no strength at all.

When he realized this, his vision seemed to begin to blur.

At this moment, Tsugawa Shuji finally realized that something was wrong. He turned around unsteadily, wanting to question the driver of the 86 about what he had done to him.

In response, the young man simply gave him a light push.

He then collapsed to the ground, completely unable to stand up on his own.

Then, to his astonishment, the young man took out his phone and made a call.

"Inspector Megure, this is Jiang Hang. I found a man in a parking lot near the library who had a large amount of drugs in his car and was about to drive away. I just took him down. Can you send someone over now to take him back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Just Good Luck

When Inspector Megure arrived and discovered that the person Jiang Hang had caught hiding drugs in the car was none other than Tsugawa Shuji, who had just escaped, the expressions on the faces of Jiang Hang officers turned strange.

Inspector Megure had just contacted the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to issue an arrest warrant for Tsugawa Shuji when Jiang Hang had already caught the criminal for them.

After they found an astonishing amount of drugs in Tsugawa Shuji's car, Tsugawa Shuji's motive for killing Tamada Kazuo became easy to determine— Tamada Kazuo discovered that Tsugawa Shuji hiding drugs, so Tsugawa Shuji killed Tamada Kazuo.

Even after Tsugawa Shuji was put in the police car, Inspector Megure was still marveling at how timely Jiang Hang's arrival was, saying that he had done him a great favor once again, and that he would invite Jiang Hang out for drinks again after he finished his work.

Jiang Hang had heard Inspector Megure say this several times already. Each time, he would wait until things calmed down before they went out for drinks together. But it seemed that Jiang Hang would have to wait a long time before the Investigation Division One was less busy.

Conan, who had come with Inspector Megure, couldn't help but secretly ask Jiang Hang, "Is this really just a coincidence?"

He really doubted why Jiang Hang would happen to run into Tsugawa Shuji who was preparing to escape, and how he discovered that Tsugawa Shuji's car contained a large amount of drugs.

Jiang Hang, in response, gave Conan a knowing smile.

"Just lucky."

Tsugawa Shuji, who was paralyzed by Jiang Hang's gas, has been taken away by the police. Inspector Megure did not ask Jiang Hang how he got the gas that caused Tsugawa Shuji.

After all, Tsugawa Shuji only temporarily lost consciousness and was not actually harmed.

Moreover, in the two months since Inspector Megure met Jiang Hang has helped solve many cases, but apart from the Mihuazhi Wolf a few days ago and the dangerous extreme Sherlock Holmes fan even earlier, he has not heard of Jiang Hang taking action against anyone.

In his eyes, Jiang Hang was a law-abiding and helpful detective. It was only natural for him to prepare some necessary self-defense measures in order to guard against retaliation from vicious criminals.

Before Shinichi Kudo disappeared, he would just kick any prisoner who was trying to escape unconscious with a soccer ball. Jiang Hang is much better than Shinichi Kudo back then.

Of course, he was unaware that Jiang Hang had recently knocked out dozens of Mafia with a stick amidst smoke bombs, and that he had just staged an explosion at a pharmaceutical company a few days prior.

Even when Jiang Hang deliberately used paralyzing gas to deal with Tsugawa Shuji, it was actually Jiang Hang testing under what circumstances his ability to rewind criminal memories and psychology could be effective.

After he subdued Tsugawa Shuji with paralyzing gas, the ability had no effect. It was only when he touched Tsugawa Shuji with his own hand that he saw the other's memories.

Currently, it seems that the prisoner must first be subdued by him personally, and his body must also have some contact with the prisoner. As for what kind of prisoner can trigger this ability, it seems that Jiang Hang still needs to continue to study it.

In Tsugawa Shuji's memory fragments, Jiang Hang clearly sees how Tsugawa Shuji, tempted by money, embarked on the path of helping the Nisame Association transport and sell drugs, and also sees the process of him killing Tamada Kazuo.

Using this memory, Jiang Hang easily found the last batch of drugs that Tsugawa Shuji hadn't had time to move out of the children's library.

Conan doesn't seem to have realized what's happening yet.

"Tamada Kazuo was transferred from the children's library to the historical documents library a week ago. I previously thought that Mr. Tamada was killed by Director Tsugawa's secret in the historical documents library, which is usually not frequented by many people. I never expected that Director Tsugawa originally transferred Mr. Tamada to hide drugs in the children's library."

As Conan spoke, he seemed to be still pondering how Tamada Kazuo discovered Director Tsugawa's secret, which led to his murder.

Jiang Hang thought about the fragments he had seen in Director Chuan's memory, and then sighed helplessly, "Perhaps it's just that Tamada Kazuo worked in the children's library for several years, which caused him to subconsciously go to the wrong library."

Seeing that Conan was still considering a more logical possibility, Jiang Hang reminded Conan, "In mystery stories, all the characters' actions must be logical, but in reality, some things don't make any sense."

After saying that to Conan, Jiang Hang ignored Conan.

Let Conan keep obsessing over things. If he really gets stuck in a dead end, at least he Ran by his side to bring him back.

His assistant and his number one fan are more important in comparison.

In his memory, this seemed to be the first time that Shizuka Sakaki and Imai Midori had witnessed someone else's corpse.

After buying a few bottles of hot coffee from the library's vending machine, Jiang Hang walked over to the two girls who seemed to be lost in thought on the bench outside the library and handed them the two bottles of coffee.

"You did a great job today. You figured out where the killer would hide the body before I even got here."

Jiang Hang praised the two girls in this way.

Holding the still-warm coffee, Shizuka Sakaki didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"Do you feel uncomfortable, or do you feel nauseous when you see a corpse?" Jiang Hang asked her.

Shizuka Sakaki nodded slightly, then shook her head. "Actually, I was only a little scared at first glance... but over the past two months, I've been mentally prepared for it, so apart from not being used to it, it's actually not too bad..."

She sighed as she said this, "And the curator hid the body in the elevator, and we even rode that elevator today. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

"I feel like I'll never dare to take that elevator in the library again," Imai Midori sighed in agreement.

It seems that the two girls are in a good mood, which puts Jiang Hang at ease. As for the psychological trauma they might have about elevators, they'll be fine in a few days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang smiled and said, "Today's case can be considered the first formal case handled by the famous detective Shizuka Sakaki. After you finish this cup of coffee, let's go. I'll treat you to barbecue tonight to celebrate."

Chapter 189: Chapter 187: Waiting for the arrival of a super Asura Arena

That night, after taking the girls home after they finished eating barbecue, Jiang Hang picked up Miyano Akemi at the art museum with the barbecue he had packed and headed to Professor Agasa's house.

After all, neither Miyano Akemi nor Miyano Shiho are suitable to appear in public too much right now.

Miyano Akemi is slightly better off. She is quite talented in disguise, and because of the threat from the Black Organization, she values her disguise ability much more than Koharu Yoshino doesn't have much pressure.

It can be said that after finishing her work at the art museum, Miyano Akemi spent most of her remaining time in Jiang Hang's office practicing her disguise and voice-changing skills.

With her personal efforts and the system's assistance, Miyano Akemi has almost reached the intermediate level in the skill of disguise in just one month.

Once Miyano Akemi's disguise reaches the intermediate level, as long as she remains careful enough, she won't have to worry about being discovered by the people at the Black Organization.

Judging from the current situation, if Miyano Akemi can maintain this pace, her disguise skills will reach the intermediate level within ten days at the latest.

However, the situation is not so optimistic for Miyano Shiho.

While Miyano Shiho is an absolute genius in medicine, her talent for disguise doesn't seem to be as outstanding as her sister's.

Perhaps it's because she was only ten years old when she returned from studying abroad, having previously been engrossed in her studies. After returning to Japan, she spent all her time in the research institute researching drugs. As a researcher and scientist, the word "dressing up" was completely dispensable in Miyano Shiho's eighteen years of life.

At the same time, she is now focusing more on researching the properties of Apotoxin 4869 and creating an antidote to turn Conan back to his original appearance, so she naturally doesn't devote much energy to disguise.

This has led to Jiang Hang having to visit Professor Agasa's research institute every three or four days to help Miyano Shiki redo her disguise to ensure there are no problems.

"Thank you for going to so much trouble," Miyano Akemi, looking at Jiang Hang somewhat embarrassedly from the car. "I'm already more than satisfied to be able to leave the organization with my sister. I haven't even thought about celebrating."

Today, while Jiang Hang was having barbecue with Shizuka Sakaki and the others, he thought of Miyano Akemi much in the past month, and Miyano Shiho, who had just been rescued.

To keep a low profile, the two sisters haven't had a proper celebration since leaving the Black Organization. Even their everyday clothes are secretly bought by two girls from the agency at Jiang Hang's request, under the pretext of "practicing disguise."

Now, whenever this matter is mentioned, Shizuka Sakaki and Koharu Yoshino look at Jiang Hang with a strange expression.

"Ahem, it's just a small celebration. Everything was takeout from the barbecue restaurant. And you probably haven't seen your sister for a few days, right? If you still make her see you only once a month, like back when you were at the Black Organization, then wouldn't I just become another the Black Organization?"

Jiang Hang told Miyano Akemi not to worry too much about it. At the same time, while driving, he also thought of Miyano Akemi's ex-boyfriend Shuichi Akai, who was in the FBI, or more accurately, "Dai Moroboshi" as Miyano Akemi mentioned.

He suggested to Miyano Akemi, "Now that you two sisters have been rescued, if you want, you can go and let 'Dai Moroboshi' know you're safe in a subtle way."

When Jiang Hang asked her to send a message to Dai Moroboshi, Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head.

"I haven't been in contact with Da Jun for two years. If I hadn't thought I might die at the hands of the organization, I wouldn't have sent him that email. I don't even know if he changed his email address after leaving the organization. Maybe he's already found a new girlfriend. So let's just forget about it."

Although Jiang Hang himself had never been in a relationship in the more than 20 years since he transmigrated, that didn't stop him from watching the drama unfold.

He kept urging Miyano Akemi to contact Shuichi Akai find out his current relationship status first.

However, Miyano Akemi remained hesitant and unwilling to take the initiative to contact the other party. Even after the car arrived at Professor Agasa's house, Miyano Akemi was still struggling with her decision.

Seeing that he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the gossip for a while, Jiang Hang wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the FBI would probably be coming to Japan soon, Shuichi Akai was one of them.

He vaguely remembered that Shuichi Akai seemed to have another ex-girlfriend who worked for the FBI. In that case, the FBI, the undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the Black Organization, and the former the Black Organization members would form a super Asura Arena... No, it seems that Toru Amuro from the Japan Public Security Bureau, who has Shuichi Akai, should also be added.

When that time comes, he'll be able to enjoy the gossip however he wants.

With this in mind, Jiang Hang took the packaged barbecue and went to Professor Agasa's house.

Although these grilled meats have been sitting for a while, the sealing was done quite well, so they still taste delicious now.
