After carefully putting the computer away, he tentatively asked the person knocking on the door.

"who is it?"

The response he received was from a male voice he barely recognized.

“Open the door and bring warmth to the community.”

Hearing the nonsensical words spoken by the man, Jun Moriya frowned.

"This is no place for pranks. You'd better get the hell out of here before I do anything."

Having spent nearly ten years in the underworld, Jun Moriya's tone of voice was almost indistinguishable from those of the yakuza. He directly issued a rude warning to the man outside the door.

After he issued his warning, it seemed to fall silent outside his door.

But the silence lasted for less than half a minute before Jun Moriya suddenly heard the sound of a door opening coming from the key to his locked room.

Could it be that the man actually tried to pry open the door after failing to trick him into opening it?

If Moriya Jun were just an ordinary yakuza member, his first thought at this moment would probably be to see who that audacious bastard was and teach him a lesson.

But his true identity is actually an undercover investigator, and this happens to be the time when he has just finished writing the record and feels a little guilty.

It was this emotion that made him stand there stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, his door had already been opened.

A man in black, whom he had never seen before, appeared in front of him.

In his hand he was holding a thin, long iron wire.

It's clear that the other party probably used this wire to pry open his locked door in just a few moves.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Subconsciously, Jun Moriya grabbed a fruit knife from the table next to him and pointed it at the other person. He was ready to strike first if the other person showed any unusual behavior.

However, the man in black didn't seem to care about the fruit knife in his hand. Instead, he reached into his pocket right in front of him.

At this moment, the man's expression also appeared exceptionally cold.

Judging from this one movement, it looks like the other person is about to pull out a gun.

Jun Moriya's expression inevitably became tense.

Could it be that the Oda Group has already discovered my undercover identity, and that's why they sent assassins overnight to kill me and silence me?

As the man slowly withdrew his hands from his robes, Moriya Jun focused his mental energy intensely, trying to find a way to survive in this situation.

But his entire attention was focused on the man's arms, and he even started thinking about whether anyone was willing to hold a funeral for him. Finally, the man pulled out a business card from his arms.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary detective. I just came here to have a chat with you."

Chapter 257: I've known Amuro Tooru for years, you have to believe me!

In the old rented room, Jun Moriya looked cautiously at Jiang Hang, who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

"detective?"

"I've never heard of a detective making an entrance like this before?"

He lowered his head and looked at the business card that Jiang Hang had placed on the table next to him.

Pioneer Detective Agency, Jiang Hang...

The name seems familiar.

He went through his mind and quickly got a vague impression of the name Jiang Hang.

This man's name seemed to appear frequently on television and in newspapers recently, and it seems he has helped the police quite a bit.

Jun Moriya's mind raced through information about Jiang Hang, while she was unsure of his purpose in suddenly appearing here.

It's impossible that Oda Daisuke specifically hired a detective to help him investigate who the mole in the gang was, right?

In the eyes of those involved in organized crime, a detective like Jiang Hang, who "works for the police," would naturally not have a noble image.

In their minds, detectives without any official background were just a bunch of bored guys with a strange sense of justice who liked to cause trouble for them.

If those so-called detectives don't get involved in their affairs, the gang won't bother with them. But if those detectives uncover something they shouldn't have, they won't hesitate to take action.

Having spent so many years in the yakuza, Jun Moriya had heard of several meddlesome detectives who were either sunk in Tokyo Bay or had their bodies dumped in the "suicide forest" at the foot of Mount Fuji by the gangs.

Moriya Jun frowned: "Do you know where this place is? If you leave now, I can pretend I don't know anything."

In response to Moriya Jun's questioning, Jiang Hang shrugged: "This is Oda-gumi territory. Besides you, there are more than a dozen Oda-gumi members living nearby. I did my research thoroughly before coming here."

“I’m someone who hates trouble. In order to avoid others noticing what’s going on with you, I chose this most direct way to come in.”

Jiang Hang's gaze fell on Moriya Jun, and to be honest, the guy's weathered and decadent appearance was actually quite charming.

Despite having been involved in gangs for so many years, the person's demeanor didn't seem like that of someone in the underworld.

After observing the other party closely, Jiang Hang uttered the line that made Moriya Jun's expression change slightly.

"So I'll get straight to the point now. I have a bit of a grudge against the Oda Group, and during my investigation I found out your identity, so I've come here to seek cooperation with you."

Jiang Hang was very straightforward and confronted Moriya Jun directly. However, it seems that this veteran undercover agent, who had been working in the underworld for nearly ten years, did not believe Jiang Hang's words so easily.

He still suspected in his heart that this might be a trap deliberately set by Oda Taisei to test him.

A perfectly timed look of confusion and anger even appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

“Tell me your true purpose, or you won’t be leaving here so easily today.”

Jiang Hang naturally knew what Moriya Jun was worried about. He knew that Moriya Jun, as an undercover agent, would not easily trust anyone. Not to mention that he didn't have any solid evidence at the moment, even if he did produce evidence, the other party probably wouldn't trust him, a person who had suddenly appeared.

So Jiang Hang still chose the simplest method, directly making a "zero" gesture in front of Moriya Jun.

After meeting with the undercover agents from both sides at the movie theater, Jiang Hang chose to have Altaïr keep an eye on the undercover agent from the Metropolitan Police Department, while he himself stayed behind Moriya Jun.

To be honest, when Jiang Hang spotted the blond waiter radiating red light in the restaurant from afar using his eagle eyes, he couldn't help but marvel at his luck.

Unexpectedly, when he casually followed an undercover agent from the Metropolitan Police Department, he ran into Tooru Amuro, who only appeared in the later stages of Conan but whose popularity was extremely astonishing.

It was precisely because Jiang Hang discovered that the two of them knew each other that he came to Moriya Jun's place late at night to confront him.

"I've known him for about a year or two now, and in a sense, we're on the same side."

Jiang Hang's idea was simple: both Moriya Jun and Amuro Tooru were undercover agents for the Metropolitan Police Department. The two were close in age and might have been classmates or even friends back then. Since they knew each other, Jiang Hang should also know Amuro Tooru's real name, Furuya Rei.

Although Jiang Hang's "acquaintance" refers to his knowledge of Amuro Tooru from a Conan movie before he transmigrated, this did not prevent him from using Amuro Tooru's name to gain Moriya Jun's trust even though he had not met Amuro Tooru in person after transmigrating.

Even if Moriya Jun doesn't believe him, he still has to believe in the name Amuro Tooru.

Furthermore, since the brewery and the Mud Ginseng Association are not affiliated, Moriya Jun doesn't need to worry that Jiang Hang is trying to trick him into revealing information.

Upon seeing Jiang Hang's gesture, Moriya Jun's eyes suddenly sharpened.

A huge wave of emotions was surging within him.

He knew that Furuya Rei's identity was even more secretive than his own. Even if Oda Taisei had an undercover agent in the Metropolitan Police Department, it was absolutely impossible for him to infiltrate the "Zero" organization, which was a top secret even within the Ministry of Public Security.

Moreover, the detective in front of him not only knew his identity, but also knew Furuya Rei's true identity...

If Oda Taisei truly possessed such abilities, he would likely have become the uncrowned king of Tokyo long ago, and wouldn't need to play the game of finding the mole with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Who exactly is this detective?

Moriya Jun kept pondering Jiang Hang's identity.

Just as Jiang Hang had thought, even if Jiang Hang presented some photos or recordings as "evidence," he still wouldn't trust Jiang Hang, and might even do something irrational if his identity were exposed.

After Jiang Hang revealed that he knew Furuya Rei, even though Moriya Jun hadn't recovered from his shock, he already felt a slight trust in what Jiang Hang had said.

After a few seconds of eye contact with Jiang Hang, Moriya Jun's tone softened slightly.

"what are you up to?"

Seeing that Moriya Jun's attitude had softened, Jiang Hang told her about Sakaki Shizuka.

“Not long ago, one of my assistants interfered with the drug deal of the Mud Ginseng Association in a case. I heard from a friend that the Oda-gumi might retaliate against my assistant. I want to know who is in charge of this matter and what methods they plan to use to retaliate?”

Chapter 258: Chapter 256: A Plot Against Shizuka Sakaki

Sure enough, when Jiang Hang mentioned this matter to Moriya Jun, an important member of the Oda Group, Moriya Jun quickly remembered it.

"Sakaki Shizuka...so she's your assistant?"

He was certainly aware of the drug-related incident at the Beika Library some time ago. After all, that case caused the Oda Group to lose a batch of drugs worth hundreds of millions. If the Oda Group hadn't quickly found a few scapegoats to take the blame, the Oda Group would probably be gone by now.

Shizuka Sakaki, who played a significant role in the case, naturally caught the eye of the Oda Group, and Junya Moriya had also heard of her.

“This matter is not my responsibility, but I know that the first plan targeting that girl has failed. In addition, the situation in the group is not optimistic recently. After several drug deals went wrong, many things in the group have been suspended for this deal.”

Jiang Hang was somewhat surprised by Moriya Jun's words.

What's going on here? The Oda Group has already taken revenge on Shizuka Sakaki once, so why has he never heard Shizuka Sakaki mention any danger she has encountered?

Judging from Shizuka Sakaki's reaction, she probably really didn't know about those people's retaliation.

"I don't know the specifics. At first, the team even wanted to contact the assassin organization in the Mud Ginseng Association to deal with her, but it seems that the assassin organization has been busy with another matter recently, and no one has come to accept this commission."

“But your assistant is probably still an un-debuted voice actor. The people in the group found a fairly well-known voice acting agency in the area, and after some coercion and enticement, they seemed to want to tamper with the contract,” Moriya Jun explained to Jiang Hang. “However, in the end, your assistant refused for some reason and did not come to sign the contract, so the plan failed.”

Jiang Hang seemed somewhat surprised as he listened to Jun Moriya's explanation.

He had been wondering if the Oda Group was planning to retaliate directly, which is why he set up a bunch of traps in his office.

But unexpectedly, these days gangsters are no longer just a bunch of reckless brutes who only know how to shout and kill; they've started to play dirty tricks on people.

It was after that time when Shizuka Sakaki was directly cast in a role by the director because of her fame that she turned down all the voice acting agencies that came to her wanting to sign her, which is how she escaped a disaster.

Jiang Hang would occasionally hear Shizuka Sakaki mention that some voice acting agency wanted to invite her to audition, but in the end, Shizuka Sakaki would always brush him off with words like "I'm not mature enough yet, I'm working hard to improve."

If Shizuka Sakaki were to be swayed by the reputation of that voice acting agency and sign a contract with them, she would likely fall right into their trap.

As a newcomer, Shizuka Sakaki herself didn't understand the law. When she signed the contract with Yuno Kiharu to work in Jianghang, she only glanced at it briefly before signing.

Although she could ask Phoenix Wright and Chihiro Ayasato for help now, under the pressure and hints from the voice acting agency, she might very well sign the contract without really understanding what was going on.

Either she will sign an exploitative contract with extremely harsh terms and exorbitant compensation, or it will simply be a contract of servitude, and who knows what those gangsters will do to Shizuka Sakaki after she signs it.

Even if Shizuka Sakaki did notice these traps, for the gangsters, since Shizuka Sakaki had already entered that voice actor agency, getting out wouldn't be an easy task.
