Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 420 Aftermath of Valentine's Day

   As he was talking, the door to the courtyard of "Dashan Jiang" clicked open.

   Jiang Xia followed and saw a man with a triangular head and a plump figure walking out, looking like a magnified Kojima Motota.

   Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but quickly glanced at the house number again.

   Well, it is indeed Dashan, not Kojima...

   "Adult Yuantai" looked up at the gate of the courtyard and put on a warm smile.

   He pushed open the fence door, first shook hands with Dr. A Li, then looked at Jiang Xia, and said enthusiastically:

"I like reading your report on solving cases. It's concise and exquisite, no nonsense. You can see the big from the small. You are a scientific research talent! - I heard that your grades are very good. If you are interested in medicine, please come to my door in the future, etc. With more medical knowledge, you will definitely be more invincible in solving cases, hahaha."

   After finishing speaking, Dashan will hold his partner Dr. A Li in one hand, and the young man he is optimistic about in the other, with a sincere tone: "By the way, after a while, our research room is going to sleep together on the mountain. You can come together when you are free."

   His invitation did bring some sincerity.

  ——Jiang Xia was already so famous when he was still a high school student. When he chooses a research lab in the future, his prestige will only be higher.

  ...If such a famous detective can be brought under his command, his reputation as a great mountain general will definitely be more famous.

As a scholar, either you have the hard skills, or you have to play with your connections: worship a great mentor, make the mentor happy, get enough status, and then deceive a group of capable and enthusiastic subordinates and sit with them by yourself. Above his head, when a happy academic capitalist... Dashan will remember his bright future with a smile on his face.

   Jiang Xia nodded when he heard Professor Dashan's invitation, also full of sincerity.

  ——He not only intends to go to the appointment when he is free, but even if he is not free, he will try his best to set aside time to go to the appointment.

  After all, in Jiang Xia's impression, Mr. Dashan has been remembered by the angry teaching assistant because he took the teaching assistant's papers indiscriminately, and he is not very far away from the ghost...

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Dr. A Li.

  I didn't expect that Dr. A Li could save a cat casually, and he could also save it in the house of the intended party.

   Neighbors are indeed talented, and they must do their best to help Dr. A Li avoid the explosion in the experiment in the future. This kind of treasured little old man must not be compromised by some strange experiment...

  …

  Dashan will have a reception today.

   After handing over the cat, he enthusiastically took Dr. A Li for a drink.

   Jiang Xia borrowed Dr. A Li's car and took the cats he had saved over the past few days to the detective office.

   He parked the car in the parking lot at the back, and took the cat cage around to the street where the office was located. Looking up, Jiang Xia stopped.

  ... From a distance, I saw a person standing at the entrance of the office.

  ——Amuro stopped two meters away from the gate, did not go in, but faced the gate, lost in thought.

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

What's wrong?

  A body at the door?

  A homicide happened?

   He stepped up his pace calmly: "What happened...?"

  As Jiang Xia continued to advance, he quickly passed the billboard next door that blocked his view.

   After seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Xia was also startled, and stopped halfway through his words.

  ——In front of the detective office, there are piles of handmade or customized chocolates. All are packaged in big gift boxes, each one is more eye-catching and luxurious.

   Hearing Jiang Xia's voice, Anshi regained his senses.

   He turned his head silently, looked up and down his staff, walked to the door of the office, and picked up a gift box to check.

   I saw that Jiang Xia's name was written on the greeting card.

   Amuro Toru: "..."

  Jiang Xia saw the boss's complicated expression and defended in a low voice: "I have never asked a client for chocolate."

   "I know." Amuro Toru was speechless for a moment, then stood up and stared at the door blocked by chocolate, "...Move these in first and then."

  …

   more than ten minutes later.

  The chocolates were moved into the house and temporarily stacked in the corner of the living room.

   Amuro Toru also emptied the mailbox that was crowded with chocolate, and was relieved.

   He walked back to the office, stacked the chocolates in his hands on the chocolate mountain that had been placed before, and then turned to look at the group of cats that Jiang Xia had just brought back and occupied the other corner of the living room.

   Thinking of the rich wives who lost their cats, An Shitou couldn't help but say, "Jiang Xia..."

   Jiang Xia: "Huh?"

  Amuro thoughtfully thought about his words: "Are you taking too many requests from cats? Will this not delay the business?"

Jiang Xia thought about the cases brought by the clients' wives, as well as their acquaintances who are in prison or in the cemetery at the moment, with a sincere tone: "I think it's okay - in fact, I hired some people to help find cats, and this kind of commission will not delay. Too much time."

   Amuro Toru: "..."

  No, that's not the problem.

   The problem is that he always feels that these clients will come to the office, not for cats, but somewhere else.

  ——Amuro Toru felt that the frequency of his visits to the detective agency was actually not high.

   However, even so, he has already seen many cats, and can even vaguely match these precious cats with their respective owners. I don't know how many times these innocent sleeping cats have been caught in a loop...

  Speaking of which, even he, a bystander, must have realized that something was wrong with Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case and his power of observation.

   But Jiang Xia is still addicted to accepting the commission to pick up cats, and he never tires of it...

   When he first noticed this, Amuro thought to himself: Like the rich wives who don’t care about cats, Jiang Xia actually doesn’t care about entrusting, but is interested in rich wives or their resources?

But later, according to his observation, Jiang Xia never accepted any private invitation from any wife—even if he was invited occasionally, it was only those occasions where there were many attendees, it was difficult to have ambiguous, and it was difficult to deal with them, and he never talked to them. Close the door together and live the world of two people.

   Amuro Toru, who observed the new information, silently made an elimination method in his heart:

  Since it’s not for those wives, then…

   Amuro Toru recalled the conclusions he had drawn before, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the corner of the detective office.

   Seeing that he had done some great work, Jiang Xia had already pulled out a good-tempered cat from the cage, hugged it and patted it a few times.

   After a while, he seemed to sense the boss's gaze from behind. Jiang Xia put the cat back in the cage as if nothing had happened, then found a roller and started sticking the cat hair on the clothes on the ground.

   Amuro Toru: "..."

  ...Could it be that Jiang Xia would accept these commissions and was really just greedy for other people's cats?
