Chapter 9 Detective Knowledge

Saying goodbye to Mao Lilan, Chen Shi came to the Mihua Town Library.

Now that you are planning to open a detective agency, you need to add relevant knowledge, otherwise you will be blinded when you encounter cases outside of the plot.

Anyway, today is the weekend, tomorrow might be the weekend, or even the day after tomorrow, so there is no rush to go to school.

What is the knowledge related to detectives?

Chen Shi believes that psychology, behavior, and micro-expressions are the mainstream, and they also need to be assisted by knowledge such as tracking and reconnaissance, unlocking and decryption, hypnosis, and forensic medicine.

Whether it is Conan or Hattori Heiji, they have some experience in this knowledge, but rather than using this knowledge, they prefer to use their high IQ and imagination to combine the clues they found to directly restore the modus operandi.

Chen Shi doesn't have such a big imagination, but he can rely on his photographic memory to constantly retrieve the details in the memory pictures and compare them with knowledge, and he can achieve the same or even surpass the speed.

Mouri Kogoro used a similar method, but he couldn't call up the knowledge at any time, let alone write down all the details.

However, the confused detective is still reliable in some cases about himself, and his little brain can be used reluctantly after overclocking.

This "weekend" was far beyond expectations. Chen Shi spent five days in the library before the calendar jumped to Wednesday.

After school, he took Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to No. 16 Siduomu, which was the former "haunted house".

"The owner of this place invested in me personally after I solved the case, including renting this place to me at a very low price to set up a detective agency and a start-up capital."

Chen Shi took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and finally stopped at the selected room, "I plan to have the construction team open up this place and the downstairs to separate a separate area as the office's reception location.

After everything is done, Xiaolan, you only need to come here for three hours every day after school to sort out the case documents. I will hire someone else to do other things like sanitation and gardening.

As for the remuneration, how about it be calculated as 10,000 yen per day, with weekends off?"

"Ah?!" Mao Lilan was shocked, covering her mouth and shaking her head, "You don't need to pay me, it's only three hours a day."

She just wanted to help Chen Shi through the early stage, but she didn't expect that Chen Shi would offer such a high remuneration.

You must know that even for her father, the famous detective Kogoro Mori, 70% of the cases cost only tens of thousands of yen.

"Oh!" Suzuki Sonoko smiled and hugged Mao Lilan, "Didn't you hear from Mr. Chen that there are investors? And Xiaolan, you are totally worth the amount!"

Having lived in various high-end circles since she was a child, she knows that those high-level investors have no interest in how the investment funds are used, as long as they can get profits in the end.

Even for some industries, what they are looking for is not financial returns.

Detectives are among them, and what investors care more about is the huge network of connections behind a famous detective.

By the way, why does this boy Chen Shi seem so handsome when he comes back from a few days away?

"Yes, with Xiaolan's ability, I think she can handle this matter very well." Chen Shiying said.

For someone like Kogoro, basically everything in the firm other than solving crimes is handled by Mourilan. Although 10,000 yen a day seems high, it is very common in many high-end firms.

Picking up the price list drawn up a few days ago from the table and handing it to Mao Lilan, Chen Shi continued: "If you take a look at my price list, you won't worry about this."

Mao Lilan took the price list and her mouth grew bigger as she read it.

"This, this!"

Looking for a pet costs 10,000-100,000 yen, the investigation target is 500,000 yen, with no upper limit, and the protection target is 500,000 yen, with no upper limit.

The above prices are exaggerated and unheard of.

It can be said that if there is a case, one week's income can be worth a month or even several months of the Mori Detective Agency!

"Will anyone really accept this price?" Mao Lilan asked puzzled.

In order to solve her doubts, Chen Shi turned to Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "Sonzi, how much does your Suzuki Foundation spend on public relations investigations each year?"

Suzuki Sonoko put her hand on her chin and thought, "Well, I'm not sure about the details, but it shouldn't be less than five billion yen."

"That's right." Chen Shi nodded, "Groups like the Suzuki Consortium, which has industries all over Japan, spend a lot of money on public relations investigations every year, and they are also my main target customers.

For them, speed and results are far more important than cost."

Suzuki Sonoko frowned and asked, "The charges for groups are indeed very high, but they often have dozens or hundreds of people operating at the same time. How can you have the confidence to do it alone?"

There is a high-end market, but not everyone can make this kind of money.

As a friend, if Chen Shi was just thinking about it in his head and had no such ability, she thought it would be better to change it as soon as possible.

"You probably went to a cocktail party last night and rested very late. As a result, you woke up late in the morning and didn't have time to do your styling, so you went to the Margarita Hotel to take a shower and dress up again during your lunch break."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"You usually wear a headband five centimeters above your forehead, with two hairpins behind it to lift your hair. The inner ends of your eyebrows are trimmed to two millimeters, and the outer ends are slightly raised. The pores on your face are closed with some kind of mask.

And not only are you out of tune this morning, but there are slight wrinkles on the shoulder blades of your school uniform, which shows that you woke up late and were in a hurry to get to school.

Alcohol takes 24-48 hours to be completely metabolized in the body, so you have a headache when you come to school and rub your head from time to time.

When you returned to school after lunch break, you smelled like the aromatherapy in the lobby of the Margarita Hotel, and your makeup was restored."

This time even Mao Lilan looked like he had seen a ghost.

You know, not even Kudo Shinichi would notice so many details!

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a few seconds, then rolled her eyes and shook her head in denial, "You are wrong!"

"When I was saying this, your pupils contracted, and then you looked at me, showing surprise. Your hand unconsciously touched the hairband, and your nose twitched to smell it.

Also, when you deny it, you shake your head very frequently and don't dare to look directly at me, which shows that you are not confident."

"Then tell me Xiaolan, what did she do!"

Chen Shi looked at Mao Lilan and said: "There is a drop of oil on Xiaolan's clothes. Judging from the color, it should have splashed on it this morning. During the lunch break, I refused Yuanzi's invitation to leave the campus and went straight to the table to sleep. There was something on the way here.

I mentioned that I would go to the supermarket to buy dinner ingredients later.

The above clues can lead to the conclusion that Xiaolan got up very early to prepare breakfast for Conan and Uncle Maori, so she was tired and sleepy, and she clearly remembered that there were no ingredients in the refrigerator."

Mao Lilan lowered her head and found a very small, very light oil stain on her clothes.

"Detective!" Suzuki Sonoko could no longer control her expression and asked in confusion, "How did you notice this!?"

Pointing to his eyes, Chen Shi smiled slightly, "I have a photographic memory."
