Conan's Corpse Picker

But this time, the Maori family also happened to be out.

Dr. Ali put the cat he received in a friend's home for foster care.

The Detective Boys and Dr. Ari arrived home last night.

After returning home, the doctor originally wanted to fetch the cat, but he got a new inspiration temporarily, and spent the whole night experimenting, and accidentally broke the fence of Jiang Xia's house with his newly developed moonlight powered car... So the cat was Saved for an extra day at a friend's house.

Now that Jiang Xia is home, we just go to get it together.

Jiang Xia heard Dr. Ali said that he had taken in a lot of cats in the past few days, so he also planned to fetch the cats first.

He stroked the heads of the two children, pressed back the questions they were about to blurt, and then re-locked the door he just opened, walked out of the yard, and got into Dr. Ali's car.

Just now, Toru Amuro sent an email asking him if he was back. If he came back, he would go to the detective agency.

—Better take the cat with you before you go.After dealing with Toru Amuro's affairs, I will send cats to customers on the spot.Just very efficient.

……

The little Beetle drove a few blocks and stopped in front of a rather high-end looking detached house.

Jiang Xia got out of the car and glanced at the form at the door.

It was just a habitual glance.

However, after a few tenths of a second, he quickly turned his gaze back and carefully examined the wooden doorplate again.

Usually only the surname is written on the house number of a single house, but there are also a small number of people who use the full name of the head of the family as the house number.

The family that kept the cat was the latter.

——The name "Da Shan Jiang" is engraved on the elegantly textured wooden sign.

Jiang Xia: "..."

A little familiar.

Dr. Ali is ringing the doorbell.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia asked casually, "Is this Mr. Dashan your friend? You also met him in the academy?"

"Yes, he is a doctor of medicine from Dongdu University. He has ordered a lot of medical products from me, and he is familiar with it." Dr. A Li's eyes briefly turned into the shape of "$", and then changed back, " He happened to like cats very much, so I entrusted the cats to his care."

Chapter 420 Aftermath of Valentine's Day

Just as he was speaking, the door of the house in the courtyard of "Dashan General" clicked open.

Jiang Xia looked over and saw a plump man with a triangular head coming out, who looked like Kojima Genta after zooming in.

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but quickly glanced at the house number again.

Well, the surname is indeed Dashan, not Xiaodao...

The "adult version of Yuantai" looked up at the gate of the courtyard, smiling enthusiastically.

He pushed open the fence door, shook hands with Dr. Ali first, then looked at Jiang Xia, and said enthusiastically:

"I like reading your case-solving reports very much. It is concise and exquisite, without nonsense, and you are a scientific research talent! —— I heard that your grades are very good. If you are interested in medicine, please be sure to come to my school in the future, etc. With more medical knowledge, you will definitely be more successful in solving crimes, hahaha."

After finishing speaking, Dashan held his partner, Dr. Li, with one hand, and the young man he was optimistic about with the other, with a sincere tone: "By the way, after a while, our laboratory plans to go to the mountain to sleep together. You can come together when you are free."

His invitation did bring a bit of sincerity.

——Jiang Xia was already so famous when he was still a high school student, and his reputation will only be even higher when he chooses a research laboratory in the future.

... If such a famous detective can be recruited under his command, his reputation as a mountain general will definitely be even greater.

Scholars, either they have hard skills, or they have to understand their connections: ask for a powerful mentor, make the mentor happy, get mixed up to a sufficient position, and then deceive a group of capable and enthusiastic subordinates, and sit on their own. Overhead, being a happy academic capitalist... Dashan will think of his bright future with a smile on his face.

When Jiang Xia heard Professor Dashan's invitation, she nodded, also full of sincerity.

——He not only intends to go to the appointment when he is free, but even if he is not free, he will try his best to set aside time to go to the appointment.

After all, in Jiang Xia's impression, Mr. Dashan has already been taken into consideration by the angry teaching assistant because of mishandling the teaching assistant's thesis, and he is not far away from Huagui...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at Dr. Ali.

Unexpectedly, Dr. A Li could save a cat casually, and it could be saved in the home of the intended client.

The neighbors are really talented, and they must work harder when helping Dr. A Li hide from the experimental explosion in the future.This kind of treasure, little old man, must not be compromised by some weird experiments...

……

Dashan will have a reception today.

After handing over the cat, he enthusiastically took Dr. Ali to drink.

Jiang Xia borrowed Dr. Ali's car and took the cats she had saved these days to the detective agency.

He parked his car in the parking lot behind, and walked around to the street where the office was with the cat cage.Looking up, Jiang Xia's footsteps stopped.

... From a distance, I saw a person standing at the door of the office.

——Toru Amuro stopped two meters away from the gate, did not go in, but faced the gate, lost in thought.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

what happened?

Is there a dead body at the door?

There was a murder?

He speeded up his pace calmly: "What happened...?"

As Jiang Xia continued to move forward, he quickly passed the billboard next door that blocked his view.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Jiang Xia was also startled, and stopped in the middle of speaking.

——At the entrance of the detective agency, there are a lot of handmade or customized chocolates.All are packaged in big gift boxes, each more eye-catching and luxurious than the last.

Hearing Jiang Xia's voice, Amuro came back to his senses.

He turned his head silently, looked his employees up and down, walked to the door of the office, picked up a gift box to check.

Seeing that Jiang Xia's name was written on the greeting card.

Toru Amuro: "..."

Seeing the boss's complex expression, Jiang Xia defended in a low voice: "I never asked a client for chocolate."

"I know." Toru Amuro was speechless for a moment, then stood up, staring at the door blocked by chocolate, "...let's move these in first."

……

After ten minutes.

The chocolates were moved into the house and temporarily piled up in the corner of the living room.

Toru Amuro also emptied the mailbox that was occupied by chocolates, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked back to the office, stacked the chocolates in his hands on the chocolate mountain that had been placed before, and then looked back at the group of cats that Jiang Xia had just brought back and occupied another corner of the living room.

Thinking of the rich wives who lost their cats again, Toru Amuro couldn't help but say, "Jiang Xia..."

Jiang Xia: "Huh?"

Toru Amuro thought about his words: "Did you accept too many requests from cats? Will this not delay the business?"

Jiang Xia thought about the cases brought by the client's wives, and their acquaintances who are in prison or in the cemetery at the moment, and said sincerely: "I think it's okay-in fact, I hired some people to help find the cat, and this kind of commission will not delay Too much time."

Toru Amuro: "..."

No, not this question.

The problem is that he always feels that these clients will come to the office, not for cats, but somewhere else.

——Toru Amuro feels that the frequency of coming to the detective agency is actually not high.

However, even so, he was already familiar with many cats, and could even vaguely match these rare cats with their respective owners.I don't know how many times these lazy and sleepy innocent domestic cats have been caught in a loop...

Speaking of which, even he, a bystander, has already discovered something, with Jiang Xia's speed and observation ability in solving the case, he must have realized it was wrong long ago.

But Jiang Xia is still obsessed with accepting the commission of picking up cats, never tired of it...

When he first noticed this, Toru Amuro thought in a complicated mood: Could it be that like the rich wives who don't care about cats, Jiang Xia actually doesn't care about entrusting them, but rather the rich wives, or their resources?

But later, according to his observations, Jiang Xia never accepted any personal invitation from any wife—even if he was invited occasionally, the ones he accepted were those occasions where there were many people present, it was difficult to create ambiguity, and it was difficult to py transactions, and he never talked to them Close the door together and pass through the world of two people.

Amuro Toru, who observed the new information, silently made an elimination method in his heart:

Since it's not for the ladies, then...

Toru Amuro remembered the conclusions he had drawn before, and couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the corner of the detective agency.

Seeing that he had done a good job, Jiang Xia had already fished out a good-tempered cat from the cage, hugged it and touched it secretly a few times.

Not long after, Jiang Xia seemed to feel the gaze of the boss from behind, and put the cat back into the cage as if nothing had happened, then found a roller, and started to stick the cat's hair on the clothes and the floor.

Toru Amuro: "..."

...Could it be that Jiang Xia is really just greedy for other people's cats when he accepts these commissions?

Chapter 421 What kind of wine is this?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, and suggested euphemistically: "If you like it, you might as well raise one yourself." Then stop accepting such commissions and harm other people's cats...

Toru Amuro remembered that a few days ago, he even picked up a familiar cat paralyzed by the street to the office.That cat probably looked familiar to him, and didn't bother to run away when he approached... If this continues, these cats may gradually get used to a stray life, from house cats to street cats, and then to town cats, city cats, county cats Cats and even national cats... are not good for cats, and it is not good for the firm's reputation.

However, Jiang Xia shook her head regretfully: "I don't have time, and I don't have manpower—you are rarely in the office, and I often travel on business."

Toru Amuro: "...Who said to raise it in the office? Raise it at your home."

"No." Jiang Xia still shook her head.

He thought about the ghost mint raw materials at home, and drew the shape of the flower pot: "I have a lot of potted plants in my house."

Next to it, the mermaid poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, and nodded in agreement—those potted plants are all raw materials for making ghost mint, and they must not be scratched by cats.

And she doesn't like cats either, she always feels that tails are dangerous in front of cats... Thinking of this, the mermaid turned her head to look at the cats in the cage, then silently crawled in front of Jiang Xia, covering the cats with Jiang Xia's body possible gaze.Then he touched his beautiful fish tail cherishingly.

Toru Amuro is thoughtful, is it not convenient to keep a cat at home?

... Could it be that his conjecture that "Jiang Xia took the commission to rub the client's cat" is true?
