The Salted Fish Assassin's Multiverse Daily Life

If you remove the "deduction" from "deduction anime" and turn it into "that kind of anime," cough, then this kind of thing couldn't be written.

Jiang Hang was also a firm supporter of the ShinRan Party, and at the same time, he had no romantic feelings for Ran. Otherwise, if he had flattered Kogoro Mouri more in the future, or even directly taken him as a master to assist him in solving cases and credited all the achievements to him, the possibility of being recognized as a "prospective son-in-law" would have been quite high.

As for Ran, as long as he chose to interfere with Conan's main storyline and ensure Conan could never turn back into Shinichi Kudo, he believed Ran couldn't possibly wait for Shinichi for a lifetime without limit. Perhaps readers would enjoy such a plot, but in reality, achieving it wouldn't be that easy.

Six months, he could wait. A year, he could wait. But what about longer? Five years, or even ten?

He suspected that by then, Conan himself would have given up on Ran.

If Ran were to remain single until Conan grew up again and turned back into Shinichi, Jiang Hang felt that he, as a transmigrator, would be too much of a failure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hang couldn't help but rub Conan's head. Conan uncomfortably shook off Jiang Hang's "claws."

You dare to dodge? Aren't you going to thank me properly for saving you from being cuckolded?

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Nothing to Offer, Do As You Please

After learning from Jiang Hang that he was also here to investigate the rumors about the armor in the art museum, Ran immediately showed great enthusiasm. She even invited Jiang Hang and Koharu Yoshino to visit the museum with them.

Clearly, Conan and his group were here entirely due to Ran's curiosity.

However, in the end, under the resentful gazes of both Kogoro Mouri and Conan, Jiang Hang abandoned this plan.

Conan's resentment stemmed from the enthusiasm Ran showed towards Jiang Hang, while Kogoro Mouri's... was because of Koharu Yoshino, who was following behind Jiang Hang.

Although he enjoyed Jiang Hang's flattery, upon learning that a novice detective like Jiang Hang had hired such a beautiful girl as an assistant, Kogoro Mouri's attitude towards Jiang Hang subtly shifted again.

Damn it, I want a beautiful female assistant to help me solve cases too!

Kogoro Mouri thought to himself.

After entering the museum, both parties went to different areas according to their preferences.

After separating from Conan and his group, Jiang Hang looked at Koharu Yoshino and asked teasingly.

"How is it? What do you think of him? Quite the renowned detective, isn't he?"

Koharu Yoshino responded with a look of doubt.

"From his appearance, he doesn't look like the legendary detective at all. He just seems like a perverted old man... Is he really the super amazing detective you mentioned, Jiang Hang-kun?"

"That's why you can't judge a book by its cover. Don't you remember the case from a few days ago? The one where the person who looked like the killer was the victim, and the culprit was the seemingly gentle company president? You can't become a good detective by only looking at outward appearances."

But she's perfectly qualified as a detective's assistant – after all, to showcase a detective's brilliance, it's not enough to just solve cases. You need the less sharp-witted foil by your side, no, the assistant, to truly highlight them.

Bao Zheng had Gongsun Ce, Di Renjie had Li Yuanfang, and not to mention Holmes and Watson.

Even in Conan's manga, as soon as Kogoro Mouri speaks, don't you know who the killer isn't? This kind of "intuition" that can avoid the real culprit with almost 100% accuracy is incredibly useful for an assistant.

However, Koharu Yoshino wasn't even an amateur in deduction yet. She should focus on being his driver for now.

With that thought, Jiang Hang began to wander through the art museum with Koharu Yoshino.

After all, it was just a neighborhood art museum. There weren't any particularly valuable works inside. Although it collected works by some famous artists, they were only the less famous pieces among their creations.

However, for Jiang Hang, who had no artistic talent, seeing these works only evoked thoughts like "Ah... this painting is quite good," "This statue is quite lifelike," and "This specimen is interesting," which were completely devoid of any deeper meaning.

On the other hand, Koharu Yoshino understood art much better than Jiang Hang. According to her, she had taken some elective art appreciation courses in college. Although she didn't have much talent for creation, she had basic appreciation skills. However, after graduation, this knowledge was completely useless when looking for a job.

After walking a short distance, Koharu Yoshino suddenly said to Jiang Hang, "I just searched for information about this art museum. I heard that it's going to be demolished and renovated soon."

Jiang Hang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Koharu Yoshino to remember to look up information about the museum while visiting it.

This assistant is doing a pretty good job. I might have underestimated Koharu Yoshino just now.

"Speaking of which, today is a weekend. Generally, places like art museums or museums should be at their peak visitor times on weekends. And there have been rumors about armor here recently. Yet, it doesn't seem like many people are visiting the museum on a weekend. If this is the case, they can't even cover their daily operating costs, so it's understandable that it's being sold."

Jiang Hang said this and then scratched his chin.

With the confirmation that a case would occur and receiving this news, he could come up with some ideas based on the detective and mystery dramas he had watched in the past.

The art museum was going to be sold, and the people preparing to buy it intended to do something bad to the museum or the works within it, leading to resentment from the museum staff towards their benefactor, thus resulting in a murder.

Perhaps there would be some minor discrepancies in the details, but the logic should be correct.

Having watched so many episodes of Conan and binge-watched so many mystery anime from this world in recent days, he was bound to have some sense of déjà vu in such situations.

Jiang Hang attempted to use Eagle Vision to scan the entire museum. However, although he hadn't encountered many people along the way, it was still a weekend, and there were still forty to fifty people in the vast museum, including staff.

Before, he could track Abe Yutaka because he had marked him with Eagle Vision in advance. When Eagle Vision was activated, it would automatically lock onto the target. But now, he didn't know who the killer or the victim was, so he couldn't lock onto their perspective.

His brain was still that of an ordinary person. With only one or two seconds of vision per minute, it was impossible to monitor forty to fifty people simultaneously.

After much deliberation, Jiang Hang could only lock onto Conan and wait for the System to issue a case notification.

After all, Conan would always be the first to discover the crime scene. As long as he knew where Conan was, at least he wouldn't miss the case.

Solving murder cases was naturally the best way for a detective to gain fame. To become a famous detective, one would inevitably go through countless murder cases. However, he didn't want to get used to these.

This might go against the System's original intention of "cultivating me into a world-class legendary detective." But after careful consideration, Jiang Hang felt that this System of his was a scammer to begin with. In the end, its original intention should have been to cultivate him into a legendary assassin.

It was probably the scammer System that had no choice but to switch from being an Assassin System to a Detective System after he transmigrated to the wrong world.

Although it was currently wearing a detective's disguise, its essence was definitely still the original Assassin System.

Including himself, his essence wasn't that of a proper detective, but an assassin disguised as one.

One was a scammer System masquerading as a Detective System, and the other was a righteous assassin disguised as a detective. There was no need to bother with the affairs of the real detectives.

Considering how much I've accommodated it, it shouldn't be a problem for it to accommodate me a little in this regard.

"All is false, all is permitted"—Jiang Hang had always remembered this classic creed.

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Discovering the Crime Scene

The System did not respond to Jiang Hang's thoughts.

Perhaps the System didn't actively probe Jiang Hang's mind, or perhaps it tacitly approved of his thoughts. In any case, Jiang Hang was prepared to proceed according to his own plan.

As for whether his thoughts would change in the future, that would be a matter for the future.

Maintaining a frequency of using Eagle Vision about every two to three minutes, Jiang Hang wandered aimlessly through the art museum, led by Koharu Yoshino.

Conan was also fine on his end. From what his Eagle Vision showed, the case probably hadn't happened yet.

Suddenly, Koharu Yoshino, who was walking ahead, stopped strangely.

"That's odd, why is this area blocked off? I was quite interested in it."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hang asked.

Koharu Yoshino pointed to a fork in the road: "If we go forward, we'll be heading to the Marine Exhibition Hall, where there are some ship models and marine specimens. But according to the map, this should be the... 'Hell Exhibition Hall.' It mainly houses medieval armor and weapons, as well as quite a few demon statues. I looked it up, and it seems quite frightening inside. I originally wanted to go in and take a look."

"Oh, right. It's probably because of the rumor Jiang Hang-kun heard about the walking armor, that this hall has been temporarily closed," Koharu Yoshino suddenly remembered the rumor Jiang Hang had heard, finding a suitable reason for the closure of the Hell Exhibition Hall.

However, Jiang Hang didn't think so.

He had been looking for exhibits related to armor all along. While he had seen plenty of armor during the tour, they were all very ordinary, not like the props the killer was preparing to use for the crime.

Although Eagle Vision could penetrate walls, it generally only detected living beings. For inanimate objects like armor and weapons, unless they had already formed a connection with someone, they would not appear in Eagle Vision.

Yet, at this moment, in Jiang Hang's Eagle Vision, within this sealed exhibition hall, there were the reactions of two humans!

One person was standing silently against the wall, while the other was casually wandering around the exhibition hall?

And the person standing against the wall had a very unnatural posture, as if they were disguised as something.

The killer had put on armor and was waiting for the other person to approach!

Jiang Hang suddenly thought of this.

"I want to go in and take a look," he said, looking at Koharu Yoshino beside him.

The following scene might be quite brutal for this young girl. Even though Jiang Hang wanted to take her to visit the crime scene, at the crucial moment, he softened his heart and therefore did not plan to bring Koharu Yoshino along.

"You just wait here for me. I'll be out soon."

"That might not be a good idea..." Koharu Yoshino didn't know that a murder was about to occur in the exhibition hall. She simply felt that since the area was already closed off, it would be impolite for them to enter. It wouldn't be good if someone found out.

"I came specifically because of the rumor about the walking armor. If we go back without even seeing anything, Sakamaki will laugh at both of us at the agency."

Saying this, Jiang Hang bypassed the "No Entry" sign and walked into the exhibition hall.

Seeing that Jiang Hang had made up his mind, Koharu Yoshino hesitated for a moment before following him.

"Are you sure you want to follow me?"

As Jiang Hang quickened his pace, he felt Koharu Yoshino's footsteps catching up and couldn't help but ask her.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about what's inside," Koharu Yoshino chuckled softly.

There will definitely be things you don't want to see inside.

Jiang Hang thought this to himself. However, at this moment, Jiang Hang seemed to hear a scream coming from the sealed exhibition hall.

The soundproofing of this exhibition hall was very good. If it weren't for his Assassin bloodline greatly enhancing his perception, he probably wouldn't have been able to confirm it.

Jiang Hang, whose eyes were still a bit uncomfortable from just using Eagle Vision, forcibly activated it again.

As expected, he hadn't misheard. In his Eagle Vision, the killer had already made a move.

He quickened his pace again and rushed directly to the entrance of the exhibition hall. However, when he reached the entrance, he discovered that the door in front of the hall's entrance was locked!

"The door is locked... There's nothing we can do. Jiang Hang-kun, let's go back... Jiang Hang-kun, what are you doing?"

Just as Koharu Yoshino breathed a sigh of relief and was about to tell Jiang Hang to go back, she saw Jiang Hang suddenly pull out a thin wire from his person, bend down, and insert it into the keyhole of the lock, trying to manipulate it.

"Hey, hey, hey, Jiang Hang-kun, this is a crime..." Koharu Yoshino's expression turned strange. Why was her boss suddenly taking out a wire to open a door without a word?

Do detectives need to know how to do this nowadays?

What if someone found out? Would they be taken to the police station? But she heard that Jiang Hang-kun had a good relationship with the police, and he was also rich, so perhaps this kind of thing could be settled with money.

No, no, no, no matter what, this is still a crime. I can't just watch Jiang Hang-kun do something like this...

Just as Koharu Yoshino was about to stop Jiang Hang, with a turn of the wire, Jiang Hang directly pushed open the locked door.

Well, it was too late. Nothing she said would matter now.

Koharu Yoshino helplessly covered her forehead with her hand.

However, she had just taken a look around, and it seemed like there were no cameras installed nearby. So, if the two of them were careful and weren't discovered, they could still pretend that nothing had happened... probably.

"Koharu, you go call the police outside now, and also call an ambulance."

Jiang Hang's voice suddenly came to her ears, and then she saw Jiang Hang actually rush into the exhibition hall.

"Jiang Hang-kun—"

She cried out in alarm as the sounds from the exhibition hall, once the large doors were opened, inevitably reached her ears.

It was a man's miserable wail!

Just hearing the sound made Koharu Yoshino's legs feel weak.

The Hell Exhibition Hall itself was designed with a gloomy and oppressive theme. There wasn't much lighting inside during the day, let alone now that this particular hall had been sealed off. Except for a small area around the emergency lights, there was barely any illumination. Her eyes, not yet adjusted to the darkness, couldn't make out anything inside the hall.

Thinking of Jiang Hang's words in her ear, telling her to call the police, she couldn't help but nervously swallow.

She wanted to quickly take out her phone to call the police, but her trembling hands fumbled in her pocket for a long time before she finally managed to pull out her phone.

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Warrior Who Slays Dragons Will Eventually Become a Dragon

The exhibition hall, named Hell, seemed to have truly transformed into hell at that moment.

Accompanied by the man's wails and screams, the scent of blood had already filled the exhibition hall. Even though Jiang Hang had mentally prepared himself, seeing the scene with his own eyes still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

In his sight, the assailant, clad in armor and wielding a sword stained with blood, resembled a medieval knight.

Before him, another man lay on the ground. Judging by the gruesome, bloody gash on his back, he had been directly struck by the sword.

If the assailant had struck with a bit more force at that moment, this man would likely have died on the spot, rather than still having the strength to scream for help. However, as blood continued to pour from his wound, his voice grew weaker and weaker.

In the oppressive and dim surroundings, Jiang Hang felt no sense of incongruity.

Seeing someone suddenly burst into the exhibition hall, the man on the ground, still wailing, seemed to have found a savior. He cried out to Jiang Hang, "Save me, save me! I'll give you any amount of money!"

Jiang Hang stopped about two to three meters away from the assailant.

He carried no weapons. He wasn't like Uncle Long, a master of weapons, nor was he like Master Huang or Master Ye. With only his basic combat skills, he could dodge the assailant's attacks with his speed, but quickly taking down an armored assailant wielding a deadly weapon was asking too much of him.

The assailant clearly hadn't expected a tourist to wander in at this time. He looked at Jiang Hang standing not far away, his eyes behind the helmet unfocused.
