The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

Then he learned from higher-ups in the Metropolitan Police Department that the Investigation Division had captured all the main members of the Oda Group in one fell swoop. Before he could even process this news, news came that the Public Security Police seemed to be getting involved in the case as well.

In Japan, public security police and ordinary police are not the same thing.

If you had to describe it, the Japanese Public Security Bureau is more like a combination of the CIA and the FBI. They are responsible not only for investigating terrorist activities abroad, but also for investigating domestic political events and violent group cases.

Furthermore, in terms of case handling and investigation, public security police have greater power than ordinary police officers, and can even directly interfere with the work of ordinary police officers.

Now, the Japanese Public Security Bureau also wants to get involved in the Oda-gumi's investigation, which is even worse news for Onodera Riki. Their organized crime countermeasures department has yet to produce any convincing results since its establishment.

The Oda Clan, who had been keeping a close watch on the situation for months and were about to succeed, discovered that their own organization had been infiltrated by Oda Clan spies.

Now that he had finally obtained information about the undercover agent, and had already figured out how the countermeasures department should use this information to deal with the Oda Group and make a brilliant comeback, the investigation department sent a message: Sorry, I've arrested the main members of the Oda Group for you first.

The Japanese Public Security Bureau told him that there was a mole within the Metropolitan Police Department, specifically planted by the Muddy Sandwich Association, a violent criminal group. Therefore, the Japanese Public Security Bureau was investigating the case and requested the cooperation of the Countermeasures Department.

Just then, Jun Moriya called.

On the other end of the phone, Jun Moriya first explained to Riki Onodera what he had seen and said that this opportunity could be used to completely eliminate the Oda group.

It's clear that Jun Moriya really wants to regain his police identity after dealing with the Oda Group.

However, at this moment, Onodera Riki seemed to hesitate.

Chapter 267: Chapter 265: Jiang Hang, who doesn't understand romance

After much effort, with the arrest of two undercover agents from the Metropolitan Police Department, the matter at the Muddy Association can finally be temporarily brought to a close.

After that, Jiang Hang would at most take advantage of the Mud Ginseng Association's misfortune and help the Metropolitan Police Department find the location of the Mud Ginseng Association's arms and drug warehouses.

However, there's no need to rush this matter. Jiang Hang is still hiding in the shadows, giving him plenty of time to slowly play along with the Mud Ginseng Society, which is now out in the open.

Knowing that she no longer needed to worry about retaliation from the yakuza, Shizuka Sakaki's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Jiang Hang told her not to worry, he must have already resolved the potential problem for her.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Shizuka Sakaki thought back on what had happened while she was living with Jiang Hang these past few days, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

After living together for two or three days, Jiang Hang would only think about inviting her to play games with him after work in the evenings, and she didn't seem to have any other thoughts about it.

Sakaki Shizuka thought she was fairly good-looking, but in Jiang Hang's eyes, games and anime were clearly more attractive to him.

Of course, if there is any change, then there is one: after knowing each other for almost three months, Jiang Hang finally changed his way of addressing her from "Sakaki," a term used by ordinary colleagues, to "Shizuka," a term more like that used between friends.

However, if the name change is in a light novel with a romance story as its main focus, it would probably require several volumes and hundreds of thousands of words of foreshadowing, with the male and female protagonists going through various events before the change could be completed naturally.

What hurt Shizuka Sakaki somewhat was that nothing "special" or "memorable" happened during the process of Jiang Hang changing how he addressed her.

The whole process was very simple. When she was playing games with Jiang Hang, she simply set her game nickname to the Romanized form of "Shizuka". Then, when Jiang Hang, who was focused on the screen, was giving her instructions, he subconsciously pronounced her game nickname.

Although Jiang Hang eventually realized what was happening, Shizuka Sakaki still subtly indicated to him that she didn't mind. So, Jiang Hang, who had gotten used to calling him that in the game, simply changed his way of addressing him, and Shizuka Sakaki also dropped the honorific title she used to follow when addressing Jiang Hang.

By now, Shizuka Sakaki is at least certain of one thing: Jiang Hang seems to have never considered these things at all. As for Miho Nishitani, who developed feelings for him after he saved her once, and even took a job at a bakery near Jiang Hang's office and would occasionally send him pastries and bread, practically wearing her "feelings for someone" on her sleeve, Jiang Hang seems completely oblivious.

She recalled that when she moved back to her place with her luggage, Jiang Hang's biggest regret was that he no longer had a "comrade-in-arms" to play games with at night. Shizuka even began to doubt Jiang Hang's sexual orientation in a certain aspect.

As Jiang Hang's assistant, she was quite aware of Jiang Hang's "secret deal" with Suzuki Jirokichi.

There are currently a lot of online trolls hired by Jirokichi Suzuki deliberately boosting the popularity of Jiang Hang and Kaito Kid, and Jiang Hang even seems to have tacitly approved of this behavior.

Thinking about it more deeply, Shizuka Sakaki, a seasoned otaku herself, quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the things she couldn't write down.

Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone about these things. When she met her friend Imai Midori at Da Bao Film and Television, she only told her about what had happened in the past few days.

When he heard that Shizuka Sakaki was being targeted by the powerful yakuza gang, Muddy Sandalwood, because of the library incident, Midori Imai looked somewhat nervous.

However, after learning that Jiang Hang had been dealing with this matter for the past few days, Midori Imai realized that although these were the days when Gomela's new movie was being released, Jiang Hang hadn't come to Dabao Films much except for the occasional phone call.

"So Mr. Jiang Hang has been busy resolving such an important matter these past few days, and he's already solved it in just a few days. He truly deserves to be called a famous detective!"

After Imai Midori, Jianghang's number one admirer, finished praising Jianghang as usual, her attention shifted to other things.

However, compared to the fact that Shizuka Sakaki almost suffered retaliation from the Muddy Sand Association, Midori Imai, a literary girl who is going further and further down the path of screenwriting, is more interested in the story of the Muddy Sand Association and the Metropolitan Police Department sending undercover agents to each other's sides.

Although Shizuka Sakaki only heard some stories from Jianghang and recounted them to her friends, Midori Imai, with the instinct of a screenwriter, sensed the potential of this story.

"I heard about this from Jiang Hang. You should ask him for the details yourself."

So after finishing his conversation with Shizuka Sakaki, Midori Imai went to Jiang Hang's office to ask him about the details of the incident.

Jiang Hang had been investigating the mud ginseng conference for several days in a row. After finally resolving the matter, he felt that he had done a great job and generously gave himself a break.

Of course, Jiang Hang's vacation time isn't entirely spent playing games and watching anime.

During his lunch break, Jiang Hang would still take a little time to study the "mysterious invitation" that he, Sakaki Shizuka, and Koharu Yuno had been pondering for days without figuring it out.

Even now, Jiang Hang still hasn't figured out who the guy Conan, who likes to only say half of what he means, is talking about.

There are only a few possible people. Judging from Conan's tone at that time, after thinking it over, the person Conan was referring to was most likely Kaito Kid. But first of all, Kaito Kid doesn't have that much money to buy the Twilight Mansion and be so generous as to invite detectives to cause trouble. And more importantly, Jiang Hang is quite certain that Kaito Kid doesn't have the guts to cause trouble in front of him right now.

Just as Jiang Hang was looking at the invitation and preparing to put it away, Imai Midori arrived at his door.

Upon hearing that Imai Midori had come for the story of "Infernal Affairs," Jiang Hang raised an eyebrow slightly and then handed the invitation, which neither he nor Sakaki Shizuka could understand, to Imai Midori.

They say three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and now with Imai Midori, there are four of us. Surely we should be able to find something interesting in this invitation.

Chapter 268: Chapter 266: The Riddler gck

"If you can find the code on this invitation, not only can I tell you the stories of these undercover agents, but I can also tell you the stories I mentioned to you at the art museum last time." Jiang Hang said, praising the literary girl, as he watched Imai Midori accept the invitation.

What he obtained was an assassin, cough cough, detective system, not some kind of plagiarism system. As someone who struggled for half a day to write an 800-word essay in Chinese class during his school days, even if his mind was full of various works from his original world, he couldn't create one on his own.

Anyway, those were things he had seen before he transmigrated, but which didn't exist in this world, so telling Imai Midori wouldn't cause him any loss or impact.

Imai Midori, however, seemed quite serious after hearing Jiang Hang's promise and immediately began to carefully examine the invitation.

As a young literary enthusiast aspiring to become a screenwriter and writer, she appears to be far superior to the mediocre Jiang Hang and his ilk.

"Abandoned by God... that must be the demon. The phantom and the cub behind it... I have a clue. I'll go to the library to check some information first, and I'll come back after I find it!"

After copying down the sentence on the invitation, Midori Imai hurriedly headed to the library.

Imai Midori was quite efficient; she only learned about the mystery at noon, and by around 10 p.m., the other party had called her.

“Mr. Jiang Hang, I understand. In legends, Satan is a demon with the head of a goat, and the Bible also mentions that God compared people to goats and sheep. Sheep are the ones who can be saved, while goats cannot. So this invitation must be referring to ‘goat cubs’!”

"Goat calves?" Upon hearing this word, Jiang Hang blinked, not thinking of anything.

Midori Imai's analysis makes a lot of sense, but it seems that none of the people he knows are related to goat calves.

But Midori Imai's analysis is not over yet.

"When I was researching goat calves, I noticed that the word for goat calves is also 'kid' in English. Moreover, the Phantom Thief Kid is also known as 'Phantom Thief' abroad, and 'phantom' also means phantom. So, if I think that the person who sent this invitation to Mr. Jiang Hang this time should be the Phantom Thief Kid, am I right, Mr. Jiang Hang?"

Imai Midori seemed to think this was a test given to her by Jiang Hang, completely unaware of the fact that Jiang Hang's ability to decipher codes and riddles was utterly inadequate.

In fact, it took Jiang Hang quite a while to react after hearing Imai Midori's analysis.

"Ahem, not bad, your analysis is correct. I'll tell you those stories next time you come."

He calmly hung up on Midori Imai, but inwardly he was already cursing the person who sent the invitation.

How did these guys who play with codes and riddles come up with such a mess? They're all riddle people at heart.

They incorporated a story related to the Bible into a riddle with just a few words, and then they also teased him, a poor student who barely passed the College English Test Band 4.

He knew about the relationship between goats and demons, and had thought about it in that direction. He only knew that the English word for goat was "goat," which also meant a lecher. So, when he was thinking about it, he wondered if he knew any perverts. But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the person who sent him the invitation probably wouldn't admit to being a pervert, so he stopped thinking about goats.

Heaven knows that the English words for "little goat" and "goat" are so different!

Then Jiang Hang thought about it carefully. Imai Midori is already quite capable among normal people, and it took her half a day to find the answer. If a normal person like him didn't get a hint, he might not be able to find the answer even after thinking for several days.

As for Conan, he probably only needed to see the notice and think about it for a moment before he already had the answer, right?

At this moment, Jiang Hang deeply felt the gap in intelligence between himself and the protagonist Conan.

Jiang Hang had no idea how much time the other famous detectives invited to the gathering would take to solve the puzzles, but there probably wouldn't be any other famous detectives like him who needed help from others to solve the puzzles.

However, Jiang Hang himself didn't take the title of "famous detective" too seriously. What he cared about more was that the invitation was issued under the name of "Phantom Thief Kid".

Jiang Hang, who didn't know the answer to the riddle before, wondered if someone was impersonating Kaito Kid and extending an invitation to him. Now, Jiang Hang can confirm it.

The motive of the person who made the invitation is then obvious.

Someone who knows the secret of Twilight Mansion has bought the mansion and is trying to solve the riddle left by Karasuma Renya's parents, hoping to obtain the astonishing wealth of Twilight Mansion after solving the riddle.

Just like Karasuma Renya, who was betrayed by his own parents his whole life, after buying the Twilight Villa, he probably pondered for many years but still couldn't solve the mystery. That's why he thought of inviting those famous detectives who have recently become very well-known to help him figure out the answer to the mystery.

Jiang Hang could even guess that the other party probably wanted to use the famous detective's abilities to solve the mystery, then find a way to kill all the famous detectives present, and then leave with that fortune.

There's a 99% chance someone is impersonating Kaito Kid. Normally, Jiang Hang wouldn't bother going to another city for something like this if there's no hype to ride. Wouldn't it be better to just stay home, play mobile games, and watch anime?

But this time is an exception.

First of all, Jiang Hang was very interested in the other famous detectives in this world; he wanted to see what they were like.

Secondly, he also wanted to investigate the Twilight Villa to see if he could find anything about Karasuma Renya in that mansion.

And of course, there is one more crucial reason.

That's hundreds of tons of gold! Even if he's managed to latch onto the system's coattails and live an enviable life of luxury, the mansion built with hundreds of tons of gold will likely be coveted by countless people after this case. It would be such a waste if he didn't go and see it beforehand!

Chapter 269: Chapter 267: The Release of the Gomera Movie

Although Jiang Hang had already decided to visit Twilight Villa, there were still a few days before the invitation was due, and Jiang Hang planned to find time to ask that guy, Phantom Thief Kid, "what he thinks of XX's provocative act of using Phantom Thief Kid's name to send invitations to several famous detectives."

However, aside from the scheduled trip to the Twilight Villa, Jiang Hang still had quite a few things to deal with.

The most important thing on the list is naturally the release of the Gomera the Monster movie.

He had been busy dealing with the mud conference for the past few days and had also gone to see some scenes from the Japanese version of Infernal Affairs, so he hadn't paid much attention to the release of the Gomera movie.

Now that the matter of the mud-gathering meeting has come to a temporary end, he can finally focus his attention on other things. After all, the Metropolitan Police Department has such a big advantage now, and if the Oda Group were to turn the tables on them, he would really have to start questioning the abilities of those police officers.

The movie Gomera the Monster has now been released. Jiang Hang spent a lot of money on promotion beforehand, including various online trolls and the trailer being marked with the words "10th Anniversary". He even specially cleared out a small space at the entrance of the Mihana Art Museum to promote the new Gomera movie and let more people know about this new movie commemorating the 10th anniversary of Gomera's birth.

Of course, because of Jiang Hang, Gomera's prop team also worked overtime overnight to create a model of the Beika Art Museum. During the final monster battle, Gomera was shown in a close-up shot of the Beika Art Museum being destroyed by the monster, which can be considered a rather special form of publicity.

It's conceivable that the Mihana Art Museum will likely be repeatedly featured in more of Da Bao's film and television works in the future, being destroyed by various cosmic monsters and even Ultraman. Maintaining this "tradition" might even turn it into a famous meme, remembered by more people, and could also boost visitor traffic to the Mihana Art Museum. However, this will require time to cultivate and develop.

Getting back to the main point, the Gomera movie was originally intended to be the final installment, so the production cost was much higher than the previous Gomera movies. In addition, Jiang Hang's involvement made the final monster battle scene much better than the previous Gomera movies.

Besides the fact that the Gomera movie itself is of good quality, it also benefits from the absence of two strong competitors vying for box office revenue and attention. Therefore, the current box office growth of Gomera looks quite good.
