The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 18: You can’t eat the rich woman’s soft rice

Anshitou had actually met Jiang Xia and knew that this was someone from the organization.

——As a busy official member, he occasionally uses the outer members.

About a year ago, the two had brief contact during a mission.

Anshitou felt that he could remember Jiang Xia from a group of peripheral members, so Jiang Xia couldn't remember a full-fledged member with blond hair and dark skin and a distinctive appearance.

Therefore, Anshitou felt that Jiangxia had a big problem.

The outer members are mostly intimidated by them. How could it be possible to go to him to find a part-time job, and even after he made it clear that he would see off the guest, he would not leave.

...suspicious, too suspicious.

Anyway, don't let people go until you ask.

Thinking like this, Amuro showed a gloomy sneer that belonged to the villain, and approached with a very oppressive gun: "Who sent you here? Are you the lackey of the police?"

Jiang Xia: "..." This is a bit more flawed, but I can't spit it out.

But Jiang Xia understood, Anshito said this, which was equivalent to a warning.

——A member of the periphery, trespassing on Bourbon's territory without authorization, this behavior is suspicious enough.

If Jiang Xia couldn't give a reasonable explanation, even if Anshitou killed people on the spot as "the lackeys sent by the police to spy on intelligence", no one would be able to hold them accountable.

The peripheral members without a code name are so easy to lead, they are cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

But okay.

In front of me is a bottle of fake wine.

The chance of firing a gun is low.

Moreover, with ghosts in hand, Jiang Xia is not really afraid of death.

Or, to be more precise, as a serious psychic who has passed the eighth grade, he is not afraid of being "killed by good people".

Revenants are born with a layer of resentment, and this resentment is very specific - it will point to the murderer who killed them.

Coupled with the characteristics of the psychic itself. After death, they can maximize their advantages as spiritual bodies.

In other words, whoever dares to kill the psychic in person, the psychic's success rate in stealing the murderer's body will be ridiculously high.

However, changing the body is very damaging to the soul. And the ghosts will also slip away in the process because they are over-pressed and the contract becomes incomplete.

So mediums try to avoid death.

But now, Jiang Xia has only one ghost. Even if you get killed, you won't lose anything.

Therefore, at this stage, Jiang Xia is not wrong at all when facing a loaded gun.

In addition, every time he encounters Gin, he has to be pointed at Gin with a gun for a while... To be honest, he is used to it.

Jiang Xia is in a good mood:

"No one assigned me, I found it myself. I want to find a more stable source of income.

"In the past, I offended some local gangsters in the vicinity for the organization's mission. They didn't dare to look at me directly, so they kept playing dirty - no matter where I go to work, it will be smashed in a short time. , no boss would dare to ask me."

Jiang Xia said with a sigh: "I can only go to work far away now, deducting travel expenses, the salary is very small, not enough."

Amuro Toru is also a frequent part-time worker.

Although the purpose is different from Jiang Xia, Amuro has no need for salary, mainly to collect intelligence.

But the difficulties encountered in finding a job are actually similar.

When Jiang Xia spoke, he felt a sense of substitution for some unknown reason.

Amuro Toru listened and listened, and the hand holding the gun unconsciously loosened a little... This peripheral member is too miserable.

But as soon as Jiang Xia's voice stopped, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "The organization..."

"The organization has given me very few tasks." Jiang Xia lowered his eyes, "A member with a code name thinks that I have mental problems and cannot be stimulated, so they rarely arrange jobs for me. If I can't find a stable part-time job again. , I can only sell the house that my parents left behind. But that's the last thing they have left..."

Amuro Toru: "..." Is it really that difficult?

However, speaking of psychological problems, and not giving jobs...

Amuro Toru suddenly thought, this "one member" should not be Sulli.

Amuro has a good impression of Shirley's mother because of some things when he was a child.

Therefore, it is inevitable that he will pay more attention to Shirley's situation.

Amuro Toru had indeed heard that Shirley took special care of a peripheral member.

If that person happens to be Jiang Xia...

Then Jiang Xia probably didn't lie about this.

Shirley is a researcher and has nothing to do with execution.

But after all, her status is important. If she is willing to speak, Jiang Xia will indeed fail to get the task.

Amuro knew that Shirley's starting point should be good. But judging from Jiang Xia's current situation... She obviously helped out with good intentions.

It may be that Shirley has never been short of money since she was a child and forgot to consider this.

Amuro felt a little helpless when he thought of the daughter of his first crush.

He looked at Jiang Xia and followed Jiang Xia's words just now: "That person only asked you to take less tasks and didn't give you subsidies?"

He was a tactful reminder to ask Jiang Xia to mention this to Xue Li. Once Xue Li knew the truth, she would definitely not be indifferent.

However, after Jiang Xia heard his words, he showed a strange look: "She gave me money, but I am a man, how can I let a woman support me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at An Shitou faintly and hesitated: "You shouldn't..."

Amuro Toru: "..."

He felt that there was a pot with the words "King of Soft Rice" written out of nothing, gradually approaching.

The blood vessels in Amuro's forehead jumped a few times: "I just asked casually."

Of course he's not trying to persuade people to eat soft rice.

I just feel that it is just right for an adult to give pocket money to the child she is taking care of, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But now, think about it...

Shirley also seems to be a minor.

Being supported by a girl of the same age, it is no wonder that Jiang Xia firmly refused.

It's really troublesome to be a minor... but I met two at one time.

A Shirley was suddenly inserted in the middle of the matter, and Toru Amuro calmed down a bit.

But before agreeing, he still felt strange: "But what do you say, what does it have to do with you coming to me to find a part-time job?"

Jiang Xia heard the loosening in An Shitou's tone, he explained:

"I unintentionally rescued a little girl who was kidnapped and her father paid me a fee. Through that incident, I discovered that private detectives seemed like a good fit for me.

"But I can't find a legal guardian to sign for me, so I can only work as an apprentice in someone else's office.

"At that time, I happened to see your ad in the Detective's Handbook."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia pointed to the detective manual on the coffee table:

"Of all the detective offices, yours is the closest to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"It's not easy to be smashed. Even if someone smashes the store because of me, the police can arrive quickly, so I want to try my luck."

Having said that, Jiang Xia looked up at Anshitou again: "After entering the door, I realized that I have seen you before, your skin color and hair color are very distinctive... A full member should not be afraid of those ruffians. "

Jiang Xia looked at him with "you can do it, you can do it" expectant eyes.

Amuro was slightly speechless.

He put away the gun, picked up the detective's manual on the table and flipped through it.

There really is an advertisement for the firm.

He himself forgot when it was published.

In fact, Amuro doesn't need to solicit clients, and he doesn't need to worry about the firm's turnover - even if he loses, he can find an organization to apply for funds.

He publishes advertisements from time to time, just to keep the "Amuro Detective Agency" famous~IndoMTL.com~ After all, as an incognito undercover agent, it is impossible for Amuro to make himself a famous detective, he can only do business in the name of The flag of the institute, the blending case.

But Amuro did not expect that this measure would attract an apprentice looking for a part-time job.

Normally, Toru Amuro wouldn't care about such a thing.

But now... Jiang Xia sounds really miserable.

In particular, it seems that a considerable part of this misery was caused by Shirley.

Amuro was taken care of by Shirley's mother when she was a child.

Now that Xue Li's parents are dead, although he knows rationally that he shouldn't intervene, but now, this matter has hit his hands, and it is still a hands-on effort...

I'm really sorry for not helping.

Moreover, as a member of the organization, Jiang Xia's life has become so difficult, and he still thinks about working honestly instead of robbing and stealing with crooked thoughts. I heard that a little girl was saved.

This child... may be unexpectedly very helpful.

Amuro Toru struggled for a long time, but in the end he still lost to the conscience of the red side.

He sighed and looked at Jiang Xia:

"You can come for an internship first, and I will pay you the normal hourly wage in the industry, but if there are any mistakes that may cause losses to the organization...you understand the consequences."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He actually has several sets of follow-up persuasion.

I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Could it be that the red party in this world has a more conscience than he thought?

Anyway, it's good to achieve your goals...

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that she understood.
