Conan's Corpse Picker

As Toru Amuro listened, his hand holding the gun unconsciously loosened a little... The peripheral members were too miserable.

But when Jiang Xia's voice stopped, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Organization..."

"The organization gave me very few tasks." Jiang Xia shook his head lightly, lowering his eyes, "A member with a code name thinks that I have mental problems and cannot be stimulated, so he rarely arranges work for me. If he can't find To get a stable part-time job, I can only sell my parents' house. But that's the last thing they left..."

Toru Amuro: "..." Is it really, really so difficult.

However, when it comes to psychological problems, and not giving jobs...

Toru Amuro suddenly thought, this "one member" must be referring to Shirley.

……

Amuro Toru has a good impression of Shirley's mother because of some things in his childhood.

Therefore, it is inevitable for him to pay more attention to Shirley's situation.

Toru Amuro has indeed heard that in the past year, Shirley has taken good care of a peripheral member.

If that person happens to be Jiang Xia...

Then Jiang Xia should not have lied.

Shirley is a researcher, not in charge of implementation.

But her status is important after all, if she is willing to speak, it will indeed cause Jiang Xia not to receive the task.

Toru Amuro knew that Shirley's starting point should be good.But judging from Jiang Xia's current situation...she obviously didn't help her kindly.

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

……

When Toru Amuro thought of the daughter of his first crush, he felt a little helpless.

He looked at Jiang Xia, and followed what Jiang Xia said just now: "The cadre only asked you to take fewer tasks, but didn't give you any subsidies?"

He was euphemistically reminding Jiang Xia to mention this matter to Xue Li - once Xue Li knew the truth, she would definitely not be indifferent.

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

After finishing speaking, he looked at Toru Amuro faintly, hesitant to speak: "You wouldn't..."

Toru Amuro: "..."

He felt that a pot with the name "Ruanfan King" was born out of nothing and gradually approached.

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

Of course he is not trying to persuade people to eat soft food.

I just feel that it is only right and proper for an adult to give some living expenses to the children she takes care of, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But now, think about it...

Shirley also seems to be a minor.

Being raised by a girl of the same age, it's no wonder Jiang Xia would firmly refuse.

It's really troublesome to be a minor...but I still meet two of them at once.

……

Suddenly, Shirley was inserted in the middle of the matter, and Toru Amuro's attitude softened a little.

But before agreeing, there was one thing that he still felt strange: "But what you said has nothing to do with you coming to me to find a part-time job?"

Jiang Xia heard the looseness in Toru Amuro's tone, and he explained:

"I accidentally rescued a little girl who was kidnapped, and her father paid me a fee. Through that incident, I found that private detective seemed to be a good career for me.

"But I can't open a firm myself, so I can only hang out with others as an apprentice.

"At that time, I happened to see your advertisement in the detective manual..."

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

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

"It's not easy to be smashed up like this. Even if someone really came to smash up the store because of me, the police will arrive soon, so I want to try my luck."

As he said that, Jiang Xia looked up at Toru Amuro again: "After entering the door, I realized that I had seen you before. Your skin color and hair color are very distinctive... The cadres of the organization should not be afraid of those hooligans."

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

Toru Amuro: "..."

After a short pause, he put away his gun, picked up the detective manual on the table and flipped through it.

There are indeed advertisements for the firm.

He himself forgot when it was published.

……

In fact, Toru Amuro didn't need to solicit clients, and he didn't have to worry about the firm's turnover—even if he lost money, he could still apply for funds from the organization.

He advertised from time to time, just to keep "Amuro Detective Agency" a certain amount of popularity.

After all, as an incognito undercover agent, Toru Amuro couldn't label himself as a famous detective. He could only use the banner of the firm to mix up useful cases.

It's just that Toru Amuro didn't expect that this measure would attract an apprentice who was looking for a part-time job.

……

In normal times, Toru Amuro would not care about such things.

But now... Jiang Xia sounds really miserable.

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

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

Now that Shirley's parents are both dead, although he rationally knows that he shouldn't intervene, but now that this matter has come under his hands, it's still a matter of little effort...

I'm really sorry if I don't help.

Moreover, as a member of the organization, Jiang Xia's life is so difficult that he still wants to work honestly instead of robbing and stealing.It is said that a little girl was rescued.

This child... may be unexpectedly very helpful.

Toru Amuro struggled for a long time, but in the end he still lost to the conscience of the people on 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 salary in the industry, but if there are any mistakes that will cause losses to the organization...you understand the consequences."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He actually had several sets of follow-up persuasion speeches.

But I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

Could it be that the red side of this world has more conscience than he thought?

Anyway, it's good to achieve the goal...

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.

Chapter 19 Strange things become more

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 have an accident.

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."
