Chapter 25: Mature Psychic
——One of the most common commissions received by the detective agency is "finding lost pets."
These cats were captured after receiving the commission.
After Jiang Xia came, the number of customers at Amuro Detective Agency was indeed more than before.
But the jobs he received were still to find cats and dogs, and keep an eye on mistresses.
…
Jiang Xia did not hand the case over as Amuro Toru instructed.
He wants to keep it to build up his reputation and connections.
Therefore, all the commissions to find pets were transferred by Jiang Xia to his group of friends.
At first glance, bad boys seem cool and busy, but in reality, they are often bored.
It's easy to get bored of racing cars and playing video games every day, so many of their group activities are actually just a group of people getting together, looking fierce and dazed for a while, just going through the motions.
When the time is up, everyone will go home.
At this time, with the novel task of finding cats and dogs, the originally boring walk through the streets suddenly became exciting.
What's more, there is a good salary.
No one can resist money. Bad guys also have to make a living.
——The broken motorcycle needs to be repaired, the messy hair needs to be permed, and the owner of the game hall will not let them do it for free... In short, they work very actively.
…
However, Jiang Xia did not set the detective agency as the delivery location for the pet.
Because he still remembered the background he made up when he first came to Amuro Toru for a job.
What kind of thug would go to the store where he works and smash it up...
What if one day, some innocent delinquents come to deliver a cat, but Toru Amuro misunderstands them as wanting to smash the store...that would be very bad.
…
Therefore, the found cats and dogs will be sent directly to Jiang Xia’s home, and Jiang Xia will then bring them to the office.
Pet entrustment is easy to solve.
However, as the case of targeting the mistress involved client privacy, Jiang Xia did not outsource it and had to do it himself.
Fortunately, he has been quite free recently.
And if you drive around outside a few more times, you might run into a murder.
…
Jiang Xia carried the cat into the office and called the client to pick it up.
After sending the cats away, Jiang Xia waited for guests to bring ghosts to his house.
Unfortunately, however, we still receive requests for finding pets.
Jiang Xia stared at the newly received stack of beautiful photos of cats and dogs and sighed: Maybe the bad guys are too efficient in finding pets, and word of mouth spread among customers, and their reputation began to spread...
…
Unable to receive any valid cases, Jiang Xia flipped through the commission list and planned to go out in the afternoon to secretly take photos of the mistress.
However, before he could go out, Toru Amuro suddenly sent a message.
Jiang Xia clicked on it and saw that the working emperor had something urgent to do, so he asked Jiang Xia to take over his part-time job for the day - delivering express.
You still have to take the job given by your boss.
Only by giving and taking can a harmonious and stable relationship between people with tools be established.
…
Jiang Xia got up and went out.
When he closed the door of the office, he hung an appointment book on the door and looked at it expectantly:
"You are already a mature character. You need to learn how to attract customers with murderous intentions on your own."
A gust of wind blew, and the notebook opened a little, then closed again.
Jiang Xia just took it as a nod.
…
Jiang Xia followed the address given by Amuro Toru, found the logistics company, and received a map, a cargo list, and a vehicle.
It took several hours to deliver a truckload of goods.
This part-time job is not difficult.
But during the part-time job, Jiang Xia's mood continued to decline.
——Every customer who comes to sign for the package is very ordinary: no murderous intent, no ghosts, and no sense of life being threatened.
In the evening, Jiang Xia delivered the last express and returned to the car dejectedly.
I was preparing to go back to the company to report.
But at this moment, the ghost baby who was sleeping on his shoulder suddenly woke up and poked him excitedly.
Jiang Xia was stunned.
He listened to the ghost baby's mumblings, then got out of the car and turned a few corners following the ghost baby's directions.
After passing through a dark alley and stopping, a gloomy western-style house appeared on the right.
The villa has several floors and a large yard.
However, it was not well maintained. The whole house was gloomy, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the walls were covered with suppressed and wildly growing ivy.
Combined with today's gloomy weather, at first glance, there is only one word that can aptly describe it.
——Haunted house.
…………
Jiang Xia walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked inside through the rusty iron fence.
Then I was somewhat surprised to find two people lying in the messy grass in the yard.
There were two children, about six or seven years old. They had their eyes closed, but their chests were slightly rising and falling. They were probably not dead yet, just fainted.
The two children have strange body shapes: one is as fat as a triangular rice ball, and the other is as thin as a bamboo pole.
This gave Jiang Xia a strong sense of déjà vu. He quickly thought of two people - Conan's classmates, Kojima Genta, and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko.
These two people, together with the little girl Ayumi Yoshida and the think tank Conan, form the "Junior Detective Team" of Teitan Elementary School.
Jiang Xia: "..." Since Yuan Tai and Mitsuhiko are lying here, today is probably the first collective activity of the Junior Detective Team:
Haunted house adventure.
…
Jiang Xia turned his gaze away from the two children and looked up at the villa which was shrouded in dark clouds.
This "haunted house" has been vacant for several years.
It is said that a brutal murder once occurred here. Since then, there have been frequent sounds of wind like the roar of wild beasts in the room, which has become very famous in the surrounding area.
…
But in fact, Jiang Xia's false "precognitive ability" told him: There is actually no ghost here, but there is a mother and son hiding here.
——Five years ago, the male owner of this villa angrily scolded his son and was beaten to death by his son.
After the mother found out, she disguised the crime scene to look like a "home robbery and murder" and hid in an underground secret room with her son, intending to survive the prosecution period and then return to society.
Later, the son gradually couldn't stand this rat-like life and wanted to turn himself in, but his mother disagreed. She locked her son in the dungeon and insisted on waiting until the prosecution period was over.
The "sound that sounded like a roaring wind" heard by people nearby was actually the sad roar of the son underground.
…
Today, four first-grade students from the "Junior Detective Team" broke in without permission, unaware of the true situation, and prepared to embark on a "haunted house adventure."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the two children in the yard through the gate.
At present, it seems that the adventure of the Young Detective Team is coming to an end.
——Yuanta and Mitsuhiko were knocked out, knocked unconscious and thrown into the yard.
Conan and Ayumi are probably still in the haunted house, trying hard to survive.
Jiang Xia thought about it, took out his cell phone, and called the police skillfully.
Then he nimbly climbed over the railing, landed in the yard, and quickly reached the side door of the villa.
…
Jiang Xia remembered that the Junior Detective Team sneaked into the haunted house from here.
However, at this moment, he reached out and turned the door, but it was locked.
"..." It seems that after the hostess threw out the two naughty kids who broke into the haunted house, she took some defensive measures and locked the gap.
As a member of an organization, Jiang Xia felt that he should take out the tools at this time, and pry the lock open with a few clicks.
However, lock picking was not his forte.
And a psychic must look like a psychic...
Jiang Xia withdrew his hand and took a half step back.
Two paper Shikigami flew out from nowhere under his feet, slipped through the crack in the door, and silently entered the house.
…
Soon, behind the door, the two shikigami overlapped and gradually expanded, forming a puppet like a "white clay man".
This kind of puppet has no thoughts and is completely controlled by the psychic.
If a ghost fetus is thrown into a puppet, it can be shaped into a delicate puppet with an appearance close to that of a human.
But for now, it's just opening a door, there's no need to be so elaborate.
Jiang Xia felt the position of the clay puppet through the door.
After a moment, "Xiaobai" in the room slowly stood up, groped his hand behind the door, and clicked, unlocking the door.
After completing the task, the little puppet collapsed silently, and turned from clay back into a paper Shikigami that ordinary people could not see.
The paper Shikigami instantly returned to the printed space on Jiang Xia's heart.
Jiang Xia extended his hand again.
This time, he opened the door successfully.
