Conan's Corpse Picker

And the risk of this attempt is actually very low.

——Amuro Toru is a policeman in the science world, even if he thinks he is suspicious, he is unlikely to shoot him to death.

In addition, even in order not to expose the identity of the police, Toru Amuro would not let the police arrest an ordinary peripheral member who had come to him.

Coupled with the affinity of the psychic teacher, he is naturally higher than ordinary people, and Jiang Xia's luck has always been very good...

The more Jiang Xia thought about it, the brighter the future became.

He borrowed the detective manual.

…………

That afternoon, Jiang Xia followed the address on the advertisement and found Amuro Detective Agency.

As a result, when I got closer, there was a "Closed Business" sign on the door.

...well, understandable.

Generally, shops have a "regular holiday", one or two days off every week.Maybe Amuro Detective Agency's regular holiday, unfortunately, is today.

It doesn't matter if you don't see anyone, just go back and choose your words carefully.

Jiang Xia returned home calmly.

Go back the next day.

The "Closed Business" sign is still there, unchanged.

...Take a break for two consecutive days?

Jiang Xia stood silent for a moment in the swishing cold wind, condemning this unprofessional work attitude in her heart.

After reprimanding, I waited nearby for a while, but no one came to work.

Jiang Xia can only go home first.

……

It's been a week like this, and it's "closed business" every time.

Looking at the location here, Jiang Xia felt sorry for the rent.

But after thinking about it, I don't think it's a problem - it's fine for Toru Amuro to receive N shares of salary alone, and he has two reliable employers who can reimburse him. The rent of this office is probably calculated on the organization's head...

……

A week later.

Jiang Xia habitually drove to the door of "Amuro Detective Agency", glanced at the detective agency habitually, and turned the motorcycle to leave habitually.

After turning the head, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"?"

Jiang Xia turned her head quickly.

I saw that the lock on the gate was gone, and the sad "Closed Business" sign was gone.

"..."

Looking at the opened office, Jiang Xia was a little touched for a moment.

There is a feeling of visiting the thatched cottage three times and finally catching Zhuge Liang at home.

……

10 minute later.

Jiang Xia sat on the fabric sofa in the office.

Amuro Toru, like a serious detective, brought a cup of tea, put a registration form in front of him, and then sat across from him and smiled politely:

"Our firm is quite busy, so we may not be able to accept your commission. However, I will recommend other suitable firms for you according to your needs—the detectives there are all experts in solving related problems."

Jiang Xia: "..." Busy?Your firm is clearly out of business 99% of the time.

He silently picked up the pen and filled in his name, mobile phone number, and email address on the form.

The rest of the entrusted content is left blank.

Then push the watch back.

Amuro looked at the large blank column and stretched out his hand to touch it.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the person on the other side say, "I'm not here to entrust——I want to come here to work part-time."

Amuro was taken aback.

After a moment, he picked up the registration form and threw it into the shredder next to it.

Then he turned to see off the guests: "Sorry, we don't recruit people."

As he said that, Toru Amuro made a gesture that looked like "this way please", but was actually read as "get out of here" towards the door.

Jiang Xia sat on the sofa without moving:

"But I feel that your store is very short of staff—the door was closed several times when I passed by. But you still insist on advertising in various places, don't you think it's a waste?"

While talking, Jiang Xia put the borrowed detective manual on the coffee table and started to sell herself:

"My reasoning ability is very strong, and I don't have any requirements for salary. You can pay it at the minimum hourly wage."

Toru Amuro looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly walked to the door and locked it with a click.

When he turned around again, he had a gun in his hand.

His expression also became dangerous, like a gin smelling of a traitor.

Instinctively, Jiang Xia sat up a little bit more, and glanced at Toru Amuro.

Then I was disappointed to find that although the expressions of the two were similar, there was no murderous look on Toru Amuro.

"..." Oh, fake wine.

The ghost baby on the shoulder also sighed.

Toru Amuro doesn't have the ability to read minds, so he doesn't know that Jiang Xia secretly dislikes him.

Seeing Jiang Xia's reaction, he only thought that his deterrence had worked.

So he continued: "About the waste you mentioned just now..." Toru Amuro said in a cold and imposing voice, "If I can catch a thief with ulterior motives like you, it's actually worth it."

Chapter 18 Don't Eat Rich Woman's Soft Rice

Toru Amuro has actually met Jiang Xia and knows that this is someone from the organization.

——As a busy full-time member, he occasionally uses peripheral members.

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

Amuro felt that he could remember Jiang Xia from a group of peripheral members, so Jiang Xia couldn't remember a regular member with blond hair and black skin and a very distinctive appearance.

Therefore, Toru Amuro felt that Jiang Xia had a big problem.

Most peripheral members are afraid of the cadres.How could it be possible to come to him to find a part-time job, and even after he made it clear that he would see off the guests, he refused to leave.

... Suspicious, too suspicious.

In any case, you can't let people go without asking.

Thinking of this, Amuro revealed the villain's gloomy sneer. He held the gun and approached with a sense of oppression: "Who sent you here? Are you the lackey of the police?"

Jiang Xia: "..." There are a lot of slots in these words, but I can't spit them out.

But Jiang Xia understood, what Toru Amuro said was equivalent to a warning.

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

If Jiang Xia couldn't give a reasonable explanation, even if Toru Amuro treated him as a "running dog sent by the enemy to spy on intelligence" and killed him on the spot, no one would be able to hold him accountable.

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

But okay.

In front of you is a bottle of fake wine.

There is little chance of a shot being fired.

Moreover, with a ghost in hand, Jiang Xia is actually not very afraid of death.

Or, strictly speaking, as a serious psychic who has passed the professional level, he is not afraid of "being killed by good people".

Revenant souls 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 teacher itself.After death, they are able to maximize the advantages of their spirit bodies.

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

It's just that changing the body is very damaging to the soul.And the ghosts will also slip away part of it in the process because they are over-squeezed and the contract becomes incomplete.

So psychics try their best to avoid death.

……

But now, Jiang Xia only has one ghost.Even if he was killed, he would not lose much.

In addition, every time he met Qin Jiu, he would be pointed at with a gun by Qin Jiu for a while... To be honest, he was used to it.

Facing a loaded gun, Jiang Xia was in a good mood:

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

"I used to offend some local ruffians in the neighborhood because of the organization's tasks. They didn't dare to look for me directly, so they kept playing tricks-no matter where I went to work, it would not be long before there would be smashed there. The more times, the less The boss dares to ask me."

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

……

Toru Amuro is also a person who often works part-time.

Of course, the purpose is different from Jiang Xia: Amuro Toru has no demand for salary, mainly for gathering intelligence.

But the difficulties encountered when looking for a job are actually similar.

When Jiang Xia spoke, he didn't know why, but he had a sense of substitution.
