The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 19: There are more strange things

The part-time job was settled.

Amuro asked a few more questions.

After learning that Jiang Xia used to work often, and was familiar with some common part-time jobs, Amuro realized that this new apprentice that he was forced to accept might be very practical.

——Amuro often goes to work in various places.

But many shops that recruit people need part-time staff with stable time.

As for Amuro Toru himself, he has several jobs, is busy with work, and is often a pigeon boss.

Therefore, although he is very capable and does a good job, it is inevitable that he will be fired.

Toru Amuro works part-time to gather intelligence. This situation will interfere with his work.

But with Jiang Xia, everything is different.

——When he is not free, he can let Jiang Xia temporarily go up.

In this way, as long as there is no serious problem of "understaffing when busy", the risk of Amuro Toru being dismissed by the store owner is much lower.

Although the shop where Jiang Xia is located is at risk of being smashed by the local ruffians.

But Jiang Xia also said that those people can't be beaten clearly, so they probably wouldn't dare to follow Jiang Xia all the time.

Only when Jiang Xia stayed in a certain store for a long time and was accidentally seen by them would they go and do something wrong.

And find Jiang Xia to replace the part-time job, let him stay for half a day and leave, it is not easy to have an accident.

If the person who smashed the store is really difficult to deal with, you can arrange a few police officers to press down the road nearby and catch people by the way...

…

Anshitou listed Jiangxia's advantages 12345 in his heart, which made him feel much more comfortable.

He rummaged in the drawer, took out a set of spare keys, and handed it to Jiang Xia: "Do you know the procedure for receiving customers?"

Jiang Xia glanced at the teacup on the table: "Just like you received me just now."

"Yeah." Toru Amuro nodded and pointed to the bookcase next to him, "The order form is there, the tea is in the upper cabinet, and there are cold drinks in the refrigerator... If you find it troublesome, just bring them water. Okay, anyway, this store doesn't need to brush up on performance."

Jiang Xia: "..."

A person who is organized to provide funds is arrogant.

Amuro found another address book:

"If you are not sure about the entrustment received, say our appointment is full, and introduce them to other firms - the list is here, and there are notes on other detectives' areas of expertise, you can compare them."

After explaining everything, Amuro started rushing people: "Okay, you can go back today. From tomorrow, you can come and visit the store when you are free."

He planned to tidy up the office after Jiang Xia left, so as not to leave behind some items that would reveal his identity.

By the way, add a little more cameras and bugs.

Jiang Xia seemed to be saved, but he still had to guard against it.

…

When Jiang Xia left the office, it was still early.

He looked at nearby buildings and realized that if he wanted to attract more ghostly customers, he might need to order a billboard.

——From the Amuro Detective Office, walk ten meters or so, which is the main road.

And diagonally opposite the main road, it happens to be the Metropolitan Police Department.

The police are not omnipotent. Many people leave the police station in disappointment and go to the detective.

This is probably one of the reasons why Amuro Toru dared to choose the office near the Metropolitan Police Department.

Jiang Xia thought that if there were billboards, when customers came out of the police station, they saw the sign of "Anshi Detective Agency" at a glance... Maybe they would turn in by the way.

…………

A week later.

When Amuro came back from a business trip, he originally wanted to go home and sort out the information he had collected.

But when passing by the Metropolitan Police Department, he suddenly found that there were several people around the street, looking up at something on the telephone pole.

Amuro raised his head suspiciously and followed them upwards.

A grotesque billboard pops into view.

The brand has a black and silver background, an arrogant form, and a strong impact. The letter is written in big characters - Amuro Detective Agency.

Amuro Toru: "..."

...what is this?

Originally, Amuro should go straight at this time.

But he looked at the billboard, and was frozen at the intersection for a few seconds. In the end, he turned around, turned into the alley, and went to the office.

He remembered telling Jiang Xia that the firm did not need performance.

And the funds he allocated to Jiang Xia were on the surface the operating expenses of the firm. But in fact, Anshitou thought that the two of them should know that this was a subsidy for Jiang Xia.

Only now...

This "knowing" is his own one-sided?

Jiang Xia was unexpectedly an honest man. He didn't understand his hints, so he really used that money to buy billboards and advertising spaces?

Amuro enters the office with mixed feelings.

At a glance, I saw Jiang Xia sitting on the sofa in the store, holding a bottle of Coke, eagerly waiting for business.

Seeing that it was him who entered the door, he seemed a little disappointed.

Amuro's mood became more complicated: "What's up with that billboard at the intersection?"

Jiang Xia got up first and brought Anshito a glass of cold water, and reviewed the hospitality of this office.

Then he said: "I put it up a few days ago - it happened that the massage shop next door closed down, and its advertising space was sold at a low price. I asked about the price, and I felt that the customers I attracted could make up for the advertising expenditure, so I bought it. ."

Amuro nodded: "Is that so..."

After finishing speaking, I am a bit short on words.

The main reason is that I can't think of how to say "you don't need to advertise, you can just greedy the organization's funds" in a euphemistic and decent way.

However, it seems that the newly recruited apprentice is very interested in the firm.

And when you think about it, dedication is actually a virtue.

This is a good thing, a good thing...

Amuro reluctantly swallowed the topic of "embezzlement of public funds".

And, let's not mention the money. Now it seems that hanging up the billboard, the effect is not the same.

——Amuro found a pile of photos spread out on the desk.

He approached and looked at it: "Have you received a commission?"

…

This is actually not a request from Jiang Xia, but a request from the detective next door.

This commission ~IndoMTL.com~ is related to a murder.

The detective next door made a logical reasoning, and the suspect's motive was clear, but there was one big problem - they had no evidence.

This incident had nothing to do with Jiang Xia.

But in the morning, when the detective next door and the suspect came out of the police station together, Jiang Xia passed by them, tilted his head inadvertently, and saw that the suspect was holding a very flat piece of paper on his leg. the same soul.

Jiang Xia stopped.

——There is a common name for this kind of soul, it is called the shikigami.

It's nowhere near as strong as a ghost, but it has many uses. For example, as a raw material to reinforce some less scientific puppets.

In short,

I want to.

So Jiang Xia took some time to borrow photos related to the case from the detective next door.

Although the shikigami is weak, he is very persistent.

If the killer who killed them is not punished, even if the shikigami is torn out, it will only break down and become a useless waste soul.

Of course Jiang Xia would not do such a detrimental thing.

He intends to try to find evidence and send the suspect to prison, so that the shikigami can get his wish and let go.

This is it.

And if plan A doesn't work, Jiangxia still has one

——Wrapped the suspect with a sack until the shikigami could be pulled from his leg.

But now, I don't know if it's God's will or not, Amuro Toru has rarely appeared in the office.

Moreover, even before Jiang Xia hinted, he noticed the photo Jiang Xia put on the desk.

…

Amuro is looking at the photo.

Jiang Xia is watching Amuro.

A few large characters are reflected faintly in the bottom of his eyes——.
