Conan’s Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro has actually met Jiang Xia and knows that this is someone from the organization.

——As a busy full-time member, he occasionally uses peripheral members.

About a year ago, the two had brief contact during a mission.

Amuro felt that he could remember Jiang Xia from a group of peripheral members, so Jiang Xia couldn't remember a regular member with blond hair and black skin and a very distinctive appearance.

Therefore, Toru Amuro felt that Jiang Xia had a big problem.

Most peripheral members are afraid of the cadres. How could it be possible to come to him to find a part-time job, and even after he made it clear that he would see off the guests, he refused to leave.

... Suspicious, too suspicious.

In any case, you can't let people go without asking.

Thinking of this, Amuro revealed the villain's gloomy sneer. He held the gun and approached with a sense of oppression: "Who sent you here? Are you the lackey of the police?"

Jiang Xia: "..." There are a lot of slots in these words, but I can't spit them out.

But Jiang Xia understood, what Toru Amuro said was equivalent to a warning.

——A peripheral member, trespassing on Bourbon's territory without authorization, this behavior is suspicious enough.

If Jiang Xia couldn't give a reasonable explanation, even if Toru Amuro treated him as a "running dog sent by the enemy to spy on intelligence" and killed him on the spot, no one would be able to hold him accountable.

Peripheral members without a code name are so easy to lead, they are cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

But it's okay.

In front of you is a bottle of fake wine.

There is little chance of a shot being fired.

Moreover, with a ghost in hand, Jiang Xia is actually not very afraid of death.

Or, strictly speaking, as a serious psychic who has passed the professional level, he is not afraid of "being killed by good people".

Revenant souls are born with a layer of resentment, and this resentment is very targeted - it will point to the murderer who killed them.

Coupled with the characteristics of the psychic teacher itself. After death, they are able to maximize the advantages of their spirit bodies.

In other words, whoever dares to kill the psychic in person, the success rate of the psychic in snatching the murderer's body will be ridiculously high.

It's just that changing the body is very damaging to the soul. And the ghosts will also slip away part of it in the process because they are over-squeezed and the contract becomes incomplete.

So psychics try their best to avoid death.

...

But now, Jiang Xia only has one ghost. Even if he was killed, he would not lose much.

In addition, every time he met Qin Jiu, he would be pointed at with a gun by Qin Jiu for a while... To be honest, he was used to it.

Facing a loaded gun, Jiang Xia was in a good mood:

"No one assigned me. I found it myself. I wanted to find a more stable source of income.

"I used to offend some local ruffians in the neighborhood because of the organization's tasks. They didn't dare to look for me directly, so they kept playing tricks-no matter where I went to work, it would not be long before there would be smashed there. The more times, the less The boss dares to ask me."

Jiang Xia said with a sigh: "Now I can only go to work in far away places. After deducting the travel expenses, the salary is very small and not enough."

...

Toru Amuro is also a person who often works part-time.

Of course, the purpose is different from Jiang Xia: Amuro Toru has no demand for salary, mainly for gathering intelligence.

But the difficulties encountered when looking for a job are actually similar.

When Jiang Xia spoke, he didn't know why, but he had a sense of substitution.

As Toru Amuro listened, his hand holding the gun unconsciously loosened a little... The peripheral members were too miserable.

But when Jiang Xia's voice stopped, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Organization..."

"The organization gave me very few tasks." Jiang Xia shook his head lightly, lowering his eyes, "A member with a code name thinks that I have mental problems and cannot be stimulated, so he rarely arranges work for me. If he can't find To get a stable part-time job, I can only sell my parents' house. But that's the last thing they left..."

Toru Amuro: "..." Is it really, really so difficult.

However, when it comes to psychological problems, and not giving jobs...

Toru Amuro suddenly thought, this "one member" must be referring to Shirley.

...

Amuro Toru has a good impression of Shirley's mother because of some things in his childhood.

Therefore, it is inevitable for him to pay more attention to Shirley's situation.

Toru Amuro has indeed heard that in the past year, Shirley has taken good care of a peripheral member.

If that person happens to be Jiang Xia...

Then Jiang Xia should not have lied.

Shirley is a researcher, not in charge of implementation.

But her status is important after all, if she is willing to speak, it will indeed cause Jiang Xia not to receive the task.

Toru Amuro knew that Shirley's starting point should be good. But judging from Jiang Xia's current situation...she obviously didn't help her kindly.

It may be that Shirley has never been short of money since she was a child, and forgot to consider this.

...

When Toru Amuro thought of the daughter of his first crush, he felt a little helpless.

He looked at Jiang Xia, and followed what Jiang Xia said just now: "The cadre only asked you to take fewer tasks, but didn't give you any subsidies?"

He was euphemistically reminding Jiang Xia to mention this matter to Xue Li - once Xue Li knew the truth, she would definitely not be indifferent.

However, after listening to his words, Jiang Xia showed a strange look: "She gave me money, but I am a man, how can I let a woman support me."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Toru Amuro faintly, hesitant to speak: "You wouldn't..."

Toru Amuro: "..."

He felt that a pot with the name "Ruanfan King" was born out of nothing and gradually approached.

The blood vessels in Toru Amuro's forehead twitched a few times: "I just asked casually just now."

Of course he is not trying to persuade people to eat soft food.

I just feel that it is only right and proper for an adult to give some living expenses to the children she takes care of, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But now, think about it...

Shirley also seems to be a minor.

Being raised by a girl of the same age, it's no wonder Jiang Xia would firmly refuse.

It's really troublesome to be a minor...but I still meet two of them at once.

...

Suddenly, Shirley was inserted in the middle of the matter, and Toru Amuro's attitude softened a little.

But before agreeing, there was one thing that he still felt strange: "But what you said has nothing to do with you coming to me to find a part-time job?"

Jiang Xia heard the looseness in Toru Amuro's tone, and he explained:

"I accidentally rescued a little girl who was kidnapped, and her father paid me a fee. Through that incident, I found that private detective seemed to be a good career for me.

"But I can't open a firm myself, so I can only hang out with others as an apprentice.

"At that time, I happened to see your advertisement in the detective manual..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia pointed to the detective manual on the coffee table:

"Of all the detective agencies, yours is the closest to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"It's not easy to be smashed up like this. Even if someone really came to smash up the store because of me, the police will arrive soon, so I want to try my luck."

With that said, Jiang Xia looked up at Toru Amuro again: "After entering the door, I realized that I had seen you before. Your skin color and hair color are very distinctive... The cadres of the organization should not be afraid of those hooligans."

Jiang Xia looked at him expectantly with "you can, you can do it".

Toru Amuro: "..."

After a short pause, he put away his gun, picked up the detective manual on the table and flipped through it.

There are indeed advertisements for the firm.

He himself forgot when it was published.

...

In fact, Toru Amuro didn't need to solicit clients, and he didn't have to worry about the firm's turnover—even if he lost money, he could still apply for funds from the organization.

He advertised from time to time, just to keep "Amuro Detective Agency" a certain amount of popularity.

After all, as an incognito undercover agent, Toru Amuro couldn't label himself as a famous detective. He could only use the banner of the firm to mix up useful cases.

It's just that Toru Amuro didn't expect that this measure would attract an apprentice who was looking for a part-time job.

...

In normal times, Toru Amuro would not care about such things.

But now... Jiang Xia sounds really miserable.

In particular, it seems that a considerable part of this misery was caused by Shirley.

Toru Amuro was taken care of by Shirley's mother when she was a child.

Now that Shirley's parents are both dead, although he rationally knows that he shouldn't intervene, but now that this matter has come under his hands, it's still a matter of little effort...

I'm really sorry if I don't help.

Moreover, as a member of the organization, Jiang Xia's life is so difficult that he still wants to work honestly instead of robbing and stealing. It is said that a little girl was rescued.

This child... may be unexpectedly very helpful.

Toru Amuro struggled for a long time, but in the end he still lost to the conscience of the people on the red side.

He sighed and looked at Jiang Xia:

"You can come for an internship first, and I will pay you the normal hourly salary in the industry, but if there are any mistakes that will cause losses to the organization...you understand the consequences."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He actually had several sets of follow-up persuasion speeches.

But I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

Could it be that the red side of this world has more conscience than he thought?

Anyway, it's good to achieve the goal...

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.
