Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 540 Boss, what's wrong with you boss (anti-theft plus more)

  Suzuki Ayako held the teacup gracefully and replied:

   "In the upstairs bedroom, Mrs. Hucang is looking for him."

   "Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko responded and sat down on the sofa.

   Then he slowly recalled the strange reaction of Mrs. Hucang to Jiang Xia when they entered the villa, and suddenly became alert: "...the bedroom!?"

   She glanced upstairs, then glanced again.

   Then lightly got up and pretended to go to the bathroom. And when he came to the fork, he turned his feet slightly and turned upstairs lightly.

  ...not trying to eavesdrop on the wall. She was just worried that her simple classmates would be deceived by outsiders—I heard that the circle of rich ladies was very chaotic. As a righteous high school student, she couldn't sit back and watch strange things happen to Jiang Xia!

  …

  In the upstairs room.

   Mrs. Hucang brought a pot of tea, poured three cups, and pushed two of them in front of Jiang Xia and Anshitou.

   Then she picked up a cup herself, rubbed the silver teacup with her slender fingers for a while, gritted her teeth, and said the unspeakable request:

"It's like this, my husband is looking for detectives, in fact, to investigate my cheating evidence... So I hope you can help me think about how to cover up - even if I divorce, I will at least get Yoshida dyed in his name. Club. As detectives, you should be familiar with the detective's method of investigating cheating."

   Amuro Toru: "..."

  Jiang Xia: "..." This time the wife's painting style is different from those of the wives looking for cats...

   Seeing Hucang Yuezi's gaze resting on himself, Jiang Xia thought for a while and gave a suggestion that would definitely work:

"If you cut off communication with her lover from today, and destroy the emails, letters, etc. that may have been there before, Miss Guntian will not be able to obtain evidence - she has a certain bottom line and will not make such a request for the sake of entrustment. Fei, the act of fabricating evidence without evidence."

However, Hucang Etsuko shook his head: "When Hucang Daisuke was drunk, I saw his handbook once, and he planned to ask people to monitor him until the evidence was found, no matter one year, five years or ten years... I can't wait that long."

   Speaking of this, Huokura Etsuko was silent for a while, a little hard to say.

   But remembering the high secrecy of private detectives... She was not right or strong, but she said firmly: "Actually, before I married Daisuke Torakura, I already had a lover.

"But eight years ago, when I was just graduating from college, Daisuke Torokura stumbled on my father's company behind the scenes, pushing the company into bankruptcy. Then he came back as my father's friend and said he could Help us get through this, on the condition that I marry him...

"If the company collapsed, countless employees would lose their jobs. I used to go to my father's company to play since I was a child, and those employees were like elders and family to me... So in the end, I agreed to marry him, and then... "

   Then he was unwilling to bury his love and marry an old man 20 years older than him, so he started a thrilling life of being a loving couple with Daisuke Hukura on the surface, but still disconnected from his lover behind the scenes.

  ... Perhaps, living in a heart-pounding environment is one of the reasons why her mystery novels sell well.

  Amuro finished hearing this long sentence, pressed his temple, and understood what Huokura Etsuko meant—she didn’t want to be caught with evidence of cheating, but she didn’t want to stop cheating either.

  “…”

   This kind of request, I want to refuse when I hear it.

But the industry's default rule is that private investigators shouldn't pick and choose, especially if they've heard the client's privacy -- unless it's too illegal, such as the client's request to forge an alibi for a murder case, otherwise, If you reject it because it "doesn't meet ethical standards," it means shutting out the vast majority of jobs that can get useful intelligence.

——Guests also have their own small circles. Once the agency is labeled as "too busy", the reputation will slowly spread... The Amuro Detective Agency is also an intelligence point in the organization that has filed a case. If any suspicious person in the organization hears rumors that "Amuro Detective Agency has a high character and refuses to accept the mission", it will always feel very troublesome.

  ...If there are other entrustments, you can excuse yourself and refuse directly.

   But now, Torokura Etsuko just wants them to offer advice on dealing with other detectives, it doesn't take too long.

  Amuro sighed in his heart, and quickly came up with an idea.

  ——Accept the commission first, make a perfunctory, make sure that Hucang Etsuko will not be exposed during the short period of time they are at Hucang's house.

   After waiting for the road to reopen, he left quickly on the pretext that he was in a hurry, and asked Torokura Etsuko to find other detectives who were willing to take over the entrustment.

   In addition, Anshi thought about it, and felt that this kind of unethical case did not match Jiang Xia's style of painting, and it would also have an impact on Jiang Xia's hard-to-operate reputation... Let him pick it up.

   Anyway, he has no reputation - what does Toru Amuro do have anything to do with him falling to zero?

   Besides, because of his undercover status, he would have deliberately avoided publishing the newspaper. In general, in the eyes of the general public, "Amuroto" is just a strange passer-by, and everything is very suitable.

Thinking of this, An Shitou leaned on the sofa, put his arms on the backrest, looked at Hucang Yuezi who was looking at Jiang Xia, and interjected like an experienced old fritter: "This kind of thing is actually better for me— "You should have come to me directly just now."

   looked at Jiang Xia and started chasing people: "Go out, it's time for the adults to talk."

   Jiang Xia: "...Oh, good."

  ...I always feel that the boss has awakened some strange attributes. Is it because the plan couldn't go smoothly these few days, and the depression was too much?

   He got up and walked out.

   Amuro Toru had just finished recruiting for a job, and suddenly felt that something was not right.

   Two seconds later, he suddenly understood and grabbed Jiang Xia, who was passing behind him and walking towards the door.

  ... Almost forgot, he was monitoring this lowly suspected "Uzo" employee.

   Jiang Xia, who was forced to stop, turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

   Opposite Hukura Etsuko was also puzzled: What's the matter?

  "..." Amuro changed his words calmly, "You should stay. Think about it carefully, anyway, you will receive a similar request sooner or later, so why not learn it beforehand."

  “…”

  …

   When Amuro Toru summed up his experience in detecting cheating.

   In the hall downstairs.

  Tasuo Toshiya finished his errands and sat down on the sofa, sitting around with the guests and playing poker.

  Hamura Shuichi glanced upstairs from time to time, and finally he stood up, pushed open the corridor door, and went to the underground library next to the collection room to check the documents.

   Doi, the editor-in-chief, did not know what he had eaten, and suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet for a while.

  ——Except for Suzuki Ayako, who had been sitting on the sofa, all the people scattered and left for a while.
