Conan’s Corpse Picker

On the way to repair the car, Jiang Xia recalled what happened during this period.

So far, he has encountered a ghost fetus once, and a murderous aura that can be completely collected.

Both things appeared recently, and both were related to the cases Jiang Xia saw in the comics.

That is to say...

If you want to pick up ghosts, do you need more exposure to similar cases?

Jiang Xia: "..." When it comes to murder cases, the best case collector is probably Conan himself.

But now, Conan lives in the Maori Detective Agency, so it is not easy to abduct him.

And Jiang Xia didn't want to be an apprentice to Mao Li Kogoro.

After all, he is now a worker of the organization.

If he becomes a famous detective, maybe one day, his firm will be used as a useful tool by the organization, and the people in the firm will definitely be targeted... In short, he is very deceitful.

Moreover, judging from the matter 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 up ghosts.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia's mind flashed.

——Why don’t you start your own detective agency?

If I remember correctly, all the "handsome high school detectives" in this world are very good at attracting murders.

He also happened to be a high school student.

Maybe as long as one more detective buff is stacked, ghosts and murderous aura will come rolling in?

...

Just do it.

The second day after repairing the car and returning home, Jiang Xia went to the Mihua Library.

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

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

Such as taking various statutory licenses, signing some purchase contracts alone, and of course, watching some specific movies and games...

...

Jiang Xia flipped through the detective science handbook, and found that it was exactly what he thought: at the age of 18, he could 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 Safety Commission.

For those under 20, an additional letter of consent from the legal guardian must be submitted.

legal guardian?

Jiang Xia: "..."

He thought about the two monuments of Jiang Xia Tongzhi's parents, as well as a guardian of a named tool who eluded him, and gradually lost his dreams. The hand holding the page of the book loosened slightly, and the detective science handbook closed with a clatter.

The serious and old-fashioned cover reappeared in front of his eyes, as if mocking his innocence.

...An 18-year-old minor is indeed still a minor.

Could it be that he can only find an adult to harm him as an apprentice?

Speaking of adults...

Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.

He picked up the detective handbook thoughtfully, and turned back to the front coloring page.

——Just now, when the pages of the book were closed, he saw a name with some impression.

...

All walks of life need to be well-balanced.

For example, on the colored pages of this detective science handbook, there are advertisements for several local detective agencies.

Jiang Xia flipped through the pages, and her eyes quickly stopped on one of the pages.

The photo shows a small but tastefully decorated shop.

On the signboard in front of the store, "Amuro Detective Agency" is impressively written.

Jiang Xia stared at the word "Amuro" in the advertisement, lost in thought.

The surname Amuro is not common.

Put it together with "detective", it is easy to think of a person.

——Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro is also a member of the Black Organization, and a cadre with a code name.

Code-named "Bourbon", good at gathering intelligence.

However, in fact, Toru Amuro is an undercover agent sent by the National Police Agency. His real name is Rei Fuguya, and he is dedicated to the country.

Jiang Xia: "..."

If you can find a way to sneak into Amuro Toru's detective firm, you don't have to worry that after you become a "famous detective", the organization will covet yourself and the firm, and implicate the innocent boss—because "Bourbon" itself is considered an organization people.

And if you think about it carefully, if you can really sneak into Amuro Toru, there will be other help.

——The identities of the peripheral members of the organization do not have much secrecy at all, and they will be easily punished by law in the future.

But if he becomes Amuro Toru's teammate... Maybe he can become a fake red party in the future.

The success rate is not very high.

But people have to be brave enough to try, and there is no loss in trying.

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 again the next day.

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

... two consecutive days off?

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.

...

ten minutes 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."
