Conan’s Corpse Picker

In the morning, Jiang Xia routinely came to the detective agency, lined up the newly received cat bags and dog cages, and counted them.

In addition, the previous entrustment on the loan collateral has also expired.

Jiang Xia checked the register and called the clients one by one.

...

After distributing cats and dogs, someone came to the door again.

Jiang Xia looked up and found that it was the client who asked him to keep an eye on the collateral.

The client just went to Mrs. Maru to pay back the money and got back the mortgaged pottery. Now she stopped by the detective agency to make up the balance.

She was clearly delighted to have gotten the pottery back without a hitch.

After paying the remuneration, Jiang Xia was given a beautiful small card with bronzing words:

"This is the store where my friend is working. His store recently moved and gave us some experience coupons, but I really don't have time to go. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

...

After Jiang Xia sent her away, she looked at the experience coupon in her hand.

It is not uncommon for clients to give away coupons at random - this is actually a reverse advertisement by the clients, and they will share one when they meet a suitable occasion.

At this time, a lot of experience coupons for the opening of new stores have been stuffed in the business card box of the office.

Most of them were restaurants, and there were also a few game halls, all of which were distributed by Jiang Xia to his hard-working younger brother.

But this time is special.

——This is an experience coupon for a pottery classroom.

Jiang Xia originally planned to put it in the business card box after glancing at it.

However, when he saw the words "Izu" on the address, Jiang Xia paused.

...

Izu is a famous seaside resort, about two or three hours' drive from Tokyo, not too far away.

Jiang Xia has no interest in looking at the sea. But he remembered that in this world, Izu is also a place where accidents frequently occur. Every time Conan and the others go to the beach of Izu to play, they will encounter some ghostly cases.

Jiang Xia: "..." Why don't you go to school tomorrow and try to drop this experience coupon at Mao Lilan or Suzuki Sonoko's feet to see the reaction?

Just as he was thinking, Xiaobai suddenly floated over and poked him, pointing behind him.

Jiang Xia turned around and saw Toru Amuro standing at the entrance of the office elusively, looking at the experience coupon in his hand: "Kikuemon's pottery studio?"

Jiang Xia was startled.

After a while, he thought for a while, and remembered that Toru Amuro could barely be regarded as a member of the protagonist group, and he should have some event physique.

So he handed over the experience coupon and asked expectantly, "Have you heard of this store?"

"Well, this is a store advertised by 'Kikuemon'." Toru Amuro took the card and looked it over carefully.

Seeing Jiang Xia's very interested look, he said by the way:

"'Kikuemon' is not a name, but a title. Anyone who can get it is a national treasure-level pottery master.

"Now 'Kikuemon' has been passed down to the fifth generation, and its owner, Tsuchiya Wanji, is almost 80. At this age, the pottery workshop is suddenly refurbished...Maybe there are fewer and fewer people learning this craft , I want to build a famous store to attract apprentices to his apprentices."

"..." Jiang Xia didn't expect that an experience coupon received casually would have so many backgrounds.

Also, there's one more thing that's a little weird.

——Toru Amuro knows too much, pottery is not a hobby of the public. Even if Bourbon is good at gathering intelligence, does he even remember the real name of the fifth generation "Kikuemon" clearly?

Jiang Xia: "..." It's tricky.

And if there is something tricky, it usually means... There is hope to pick up ghosts?

Amuro found that the way Jiang Xia looked at him gradually became strange.

He remembered Jiang Xia's spoiler-like reasoning ability, and he didn't hide it: "There is indeed a related task recently." As he spoke, Amuro shook the experience coupon in his hand, "I'll use this."

Jiang Xia nodded hesitantly.

Then he took out his phone and turned on the search.

——"Kikuemon" is really a celebrity, and you can find a lot of information about him on the Internet.

Recently, under this person's name, there is indeed an additional pottery experience classroom, but it is not opened by him himself, but by his younger brother, a person named Mino Zongyuki.

In fact, Mino Zongzhi has opened a store more than ten years ago, but it has always been very low-key.

But recently, Kikuemon urged his younger brother to renovate the store and put forward many improvement requirements.

So at present, this store is still in trial operation.

And just now, the experience voucher given to Jiang Xia by the client was not an advertisement, but a veritable "experience voucher", with limited distribution and not for sale.

...

Jiang Xia looked at the news, then looked at the two impressive names, and suddenly regretted it.

...If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed so quickly when the boss asked for a coupon just now.
