Conan’s Corpse Picker

That's how the part-time job was settled.

Toru Amuro asked a few more questions about the situation.

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

——Toru Amuro often goes to various places to work.

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

As for Toru Amuro himself, he holds several jobs, is busy with work, and often complains about his boss.

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

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

But with Jiang Xia, everything will be different.

——When he is not free, Jiang Xia can be temporarily on top.

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

...

Although according to what Jiang Xia said, the shop he was in was at risk of being smashed by hooligans.

But Jiang Xia also said that those people obviously can't beat them, so if they play tricks, they probably don't dare to follow Jiang Xia all the time.

Only when Jiang Xia stayed in a certain store for a long time and they accidentally saw it, would she find it to play tricks.

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

If the person who smashed the store is really difficult to deal with, you can also secretly arrange a few police officers to suppress the road nearby and arrest them by the way...

...

Toru Amuro listed Jiang Xia's advantages 12345 in his heart, which made him feel much more comfortable.

He rummaged through the drawer, took out a bunch of spare keys, and handed them to Jiang Xia: "Do you know the process of receiving customers?"

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

"Yeah." Toru Amuro nodded, and then pointed to the bookcase next to him, "The entrustment form is over there, the tea is in the upper cabinet, and there are cold drinks in the refrigerator... If you find it troublesome, you can just serve them water, anyway. This store doesn’t need to do business.”

Jiang Xia: "..."

Those who organize to provide funds are arrogant.

...

Amuro found another address book:

"If you are unsure about the commission you received, just say that our appointments are full, and introduce them to other firms—the list is here, and there are notes on the areas that other detectives specialize in. You can refer to it."

After explaining everything, Toru Amuro began to chase people away: "Okay, you can go back today first. Starting 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 camera and bug.

No matter how hopeful Jiang Xia seems to be, what should be guarded is still to be guarded.

...

It was still early when Jiang Xia left the office.

He took a look at the nearby buildings and found that if he wanted to attract more ghost customers, he might need to order a billboard.

——From the Amuro Detective Agency, walk about ten meters and you will find the main road.

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

The police are not omnipotent, and many people, after leaving the police station disappointed, go to the detectives.

This is probably one of the reasons why Toru Amuro dared to choose the office near the Metropolitan Police Department - there are legitimate reasons, and it is more convenient to attract customers.

So Jiang Xia thought, if there is a more eye-catching billboard, when the customers come out of the police station, they will see the sign of "Amuro Detective Agency" at a glance... Maybe they will turn in by the way.

…………

a week later.

Amuro made a mistake.

After he came back, he wanted to go home first and sort out the information he had collected.

But when he passed the Metropolitan Police Department, he suddenly noticed that there were a few people surrounded by the street, looking up at something on the telegraph pole.

Toru Amuro raised his head suspiciously, and followed them to look up.

A billboard with a strange shape jumped into view.

The brand has a black and silver background, an aggressive shape, and is extremely impactful, with a few large characters on it - Amuro Detective Agency.

Toru Amuro: "..."

……What is this?

...

Originally, Toru Amuro should have gone straight at this time.

But he looked at the billboard and froze for a few seconds at the intersection, before he turned around, turned into the alley, and headed to the detective agency.

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

Moreover, the funds he allocated to Jiang Xia were ostensibly "the firm's operating expenses." But in fact, Toru Amuro thought that the two of them should know it well - this was considered a subsidy for Jiang Xia.

Only now it seems...

This "knowledge", is he unilateral?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia was an honest person, and didn't understand his hint, so he really used the money to buy billboards and advertising space?

"..."

Toru Amuro walked into the office with a complicated mood.

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

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

Amuro looked at the employee's "Why are you?" eyes, and his mood became more complicated: "What's going on with that billboard at the intersection?"

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

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

Amuro nodded: "I see..."

After finishing speaking, I am a little short of words.

The main reason is that I couldn't think of how to say "you don't need to advertise, as long as you are greedy for the organization's funds" to say it euphemistically and decently.

However, it seems that the newly recruited apprentice is very caring about the firm.

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

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

Toru Amuro reluctantly swallowed the topic of "corruption of public funds".

And, let's not talk about funding. Now it seems that the effect of hanging billboards is different.

——Toru Amuro found a pile of photos spread out on the desk, which should have been brought by the client.

He took a closer look: "Have you received the commission?"

...

This is actually not Jiang Xia's commission, but a commission received by the detective next door a while ago.

This commission is related to a murder case in Gunma County.

——Someone paid a lot of money to entrust the detective next door to track a person. The detective next door followed for three days and got the commission fee. As a result, on the fourth day, the person being followed was burned to death in the sacrificial bonfire.

Now, many doubts point to the commissioned person, but the police and the detective next door have no evidence.

...

This matter had nothing to do with Jiang Xia.

But this morning, when the detective next door and the suspect, the former client, came out of the police station together.

Jiang Xia passed by nearby, turned her head inadvertently, and saw a very flat, paper-like soul on the suspect's leg.

Jiang Xia looked at it and slowly stopped.

——This kind of soul has a common name, it's called Paipou Shikigami.

The ghost fetus and the shikigami are both formed after death.

The strength and IQ of shikigami are far inferior to ghost fetuses, but they also have many uses-such as being used as raw materials to form and strengthen some unscientific puppets.

in short……

want to.

...

So at that time, after the detective next door and the suspect parted ways, Jiang Xia walked into the detective agency of his colleagues and spent some time borrowing photos related to the case from the detective next door.

——Although the shikigami is a little silly, it is also because of this that his thinking will not turn around and he is extremely persistent.

To collect it, the murderer must be punished to a certain extent.

And if the murderer is still living at ease, even if the shikigami is torn off by force, it will only be broken and become a useless waste soul.

...

A mature psychic, of course, would not do such a thing that harms the soul and does not benefit oneself.

Jiang Xia then planned to try to find evidence and send the murderer to prison, so that Paipou Shikigami's wish could be fulfilled and he let go.

This is Plan A.

And if plan A doesn't work, Jiang Xia has a plan B.

——Wrap the suspect in a sack and beat the suspect until Shikigami feels relieved and falls off his leg.

...

Originally, Jiang Xia was struggling with which plan to implement.

But now, I don't know if it was God's will, Toru Amuro unexpectedly appeared in the office on a rare occasion.

Moreover, before Jiang Xia hinted, he himself noticed the photos related to the case that Jiang Xia put on his desk.

...

Toru Amuro was looking at the photo.

Jiang Xia was watching Toru Amuro.

A few large characters faintly reflected in his eyes - PlanC.
