Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 17 Your office looks good

   On the way to repair the car, Jiang Xia remembered what happened during this time.

   At present, he has encountered a ghost and a murderous aura that can be completely collected.

The two things    both appeared recently, and both are related to the cases Jiang Xia saw in the comics.

   In other words, if you want to pick up ghosts, you need to be exposed to more cases.

   Speaking of murder cases, the best case collector is probably Conan himself.

   But now, Conan lives in the Maori Detective Agency, so it’s not easy to kidnap him.

   And Jiang Xia didn’t want to be an apprentice to Maori Kogoro.

   He is now an organized laborer after all.

   If he becomes a famous detective, maybe one day, the office he works in will be organized as a useful tool… In short, it will be very embarrassing to Master.

   Moreover, from the story of Yoko Kinoshita, even if Conan is not present, Jiang Xia can still pick up ghosts. Reaper primary school students are not a necessary condition for picking ghosts.

   Jiang Xia thought for a moment and thought it might be better to open a detective agency.

  If I remember correctly, the “high school detectives” in this world are all good at attracting murder cases.

   He happens to be a high school student too.

   Maybe as long as you stack another detective buff, ghosts and murderous aura will come rolling in.

  …

   Just do it.

   The day after repairing the car and going home, Jiang Xia went to the Rice Flower Library.

   Then he successfully found a popular science manual related to detectives on the bookshelf in the career area.

   In his impression, although the island country stipulates that it is 20 years old, in fact, many things can be done from the age of 18.

   For example, to test various legal licenses, sign some purchase contracts alone, and watch some specific movies and games…

   Jiang Xia flipped through the detective science manual and found that, just as he thought, at the age of 18, he can already work in the detective industry.

   However, looking further down, Jiang Xia saw another rule.

  —To open a detective agency, you need to submit an application for opening to the Public Security Committee.

If    is less than 20, an additional consent form from the legal guardian must be submitted.

legal guardian.

  emmm…

   Jiang Xia thought about the two monuments of Jiang Xia’s parents, and the guardian of the nominal tool that he did not have any contact information, and gradually lost his dream. His hand holding the pages loosened slightly, and the pages of the Detective Popular Science Handbook snapped shut.

   The solemn and staid cover reappeared, as if mocking his naivety.

  … 18-year-old minors are still minors after all.

   Can you only go to an adult as an apprentice to do harm?

   Speaking of adults…

   Jiang Xia thoughtfully picked up the detective manual and turned back to the front color page.

   Just now, when the pages of the book were closed, he saw a somewhat impressive name.

  In all walks of life, it is necessary to have a meal.

  For example, on the color pages of this manual, there are advertisements for several detective agencies.

  Jiang Xia turned the pages, and his eyes quickly stopped on one of the pages.

   The photo shows a small but tasteful shop.

   On the signboard at the entrance of the store, “Amuro Detective Agency” is written impressively.

   Jiang Xia stared at the word “An Shi” in the advertisement and fell into deep thought.

The surname   Amuro is not very common.

   Putting it together with “detective”, it is easy to associate with a person.

  —Amuro Toru.

   Amuro Toru is also a member of the Black Organization and a big guy with a code name.

  Codename “Bourbon”, good at gathering intelligence.

   However, in fact, Amuro Toru is an undercover agent sent by the National Police Agency to organize, whose real name is Rei Kutani, who is dedicated to the country.

   If you can find a way to get into his office, you don’t have to worry about the organization to make your own boss.

   And if you think about it, if you can actually get into Bourbon, there are other benefits.

  —During this time, Xue Li helped Jiang Xia stop a lot of murder and arson work.

   But what Jiang Xia did is still not very legal.

The identities of    peripheral members do not have much confidentiality at all, and they are prone to legal sanctions in the future.

  But if you go to Amuro…maybe there is a chance to mix into a fake red side.

   The success rate is not very high.

   But worth a try.

   And the risk of trying is very low – Amuro is a policeman in the world of science, even if he thinks he is suspicious, it is unlikely to kill him with a single shot.

   In addition, even in order not to reveal the identity of the police, Amuro Toru would not arrest an ordinary peripheral member who came to him.

   Coupled with the affinity of psychics, he was born a bit higher than ordinary people, and Jiang Xia’s luck has always been good.

  This way, what if you can get the red side’s exemption gold medal…

   The more Jiang Xia thought about it, the more he felt that the future was bright.

   He borrowed the detective manual.

  …

   In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Xia followed the address on the advertisement and found the Amuro Detective Agency.

  As a result, when I got closer, there was a sign “closed” on the door.

  …Well, understandable.

  General stores have a “regular holiday”, one or two days a week, maybe the regular holiday of Amuro Detective Agency, unfortunately it is today.

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

   Jiang Xia went home calmly.

   Go again the next day.

The sign    “Closed” is still hanging there, unchanged.

  …Two days off in a row?

  Jiang Xia stood silent for a moment in the swish cold wind, and condemned this disrespectful work attitude in his heart.

   After condemning, he waited in the vicinity for a while, but no one came to work.

   Jiang Xia could only go home first.

  …

   After a week, it was “closed” every time.

   Jiang Xia looked at the location here, and felt distressed about the rent for Anshi.

   But after thinking about it, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it—it’s fine for Amuro to receive N salary by himself, and he still has two reliable employers who can reimburse him…

  …

   A week later, Jiang Xia habitually drove to the place, habitually glanced at the detective office, and habitually turned the motorcycle to leave.

   After turning his head, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

  Jiang Xia turned around quickly.

   found that the lock hanging on the door was gone, and the sad “closed” sign was gone.

   Jiang Xia was a little moved when he saw the office that opened.

   There is a feeling of looking at the cottage and finally catching Zhuge Liang at home.

  …

ten minutes later.

   Jiang Xia is sitting 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 with a polite smile:

   “Our office is quite busy and may not be able to accept your entrustment. However, I will recommend other suitable offices to you according to your needs – the detectives in it are experts in solving related problems.”

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

   He picked up the pen and filled in his name, mobile phone number, and email address on the form. The rest of the commission is left blank, and the form is pushed back.

  Amuro looked at the large blank column and put his hand on it.

   Before he could speak, he suddenly heard the person on the opposite side say, “I didn’t come to entrust me—I want to come here for a part-time job.”

   Amuro was startled.

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

   Then turned around to see the guest: “Sorry, we don’t recruit people.”

   Said, Amuro Toru made a gesture towards the door that looked like “This way, please”, but actually read “Hurry up”.

  Jiang Xia sat on the sofa still:

   “But I feel that your store is very short of staff – the door is closed several times when you pass by. But you still insist on advertising in various places, don’t you think it’s a waste.”

   Jiang Xia said as he put the borrowed detective manual on the coffee table and began to promote himself:

   “My reasoning ability is very strong, and there is no salary requirement, you can pay at the minimum hourly rate.”

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

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

  ’s expression also became dangerous, like a gin smelling the breath of a traitor.

   Jiang Xia sat up subconsciously, his eyes swept across Anshitou.

   Then he was very disappointed to find that, unlike Gin, there was no similar murderous aura on Amuro Toru.

   The ghost baby on his shoulder also sighed.

  Anshitou didn’t have the ability to read minds, so he didn’t know what Jiang Xia was thinking.

   Seeing Jiang Xia’s reaction, he only thought that his deterrence had an effect.

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