Chapter 2754-2766 [Unscrupulous Boss]
In the end, the two of them went out together.
When they arrived at the place, Jiang Xia took off his helmet and saw a woman with a sad expression standing at the door of the detective agency.
Next to her stood a boss with a sad expression.
However, when he saw Jiang Xia, Toru Amuro was no longer sad. He said "treat her well" and then left decisively.
——This detective agency is close to the Metropolitan Police Department. There are many reporters nearby, and the guest who came this time happened to be a person who brought his own news explosive points.
In order not to attract attention, Toru Amuro had to pretend to be the boss of a serious detective agency, patiently accompanying the customer until Jiang Xia came.
And now, the detective who was receiving the guests had arrived, and he was free.
With a very busy schedule, Toru Amuro handed everything over to his nominal employees and left happily.
Next to him, Jiang Xia glanced at the tires of Toru Amuro's car, then looked at the bus stop not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
He pushed open the door of the detective agency and said, "Come in and have a seat first."
The young woman was very anxious, so anxious that she couldn't even sit down. She could only stand at the door of the detective agency and wait for Jiang Xia to arrive.
Now that the person had arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded politely, and followed Jiang Xia in and sat down.
Jiang Xia put down the commission form and planned to get some ready-made juice from the refrigerator to entertain the guests. However, when he turned around, he found a pot of freshly boiled hot water on the induction cooker, with two steaming tea cups next to it.
——It was obvious that Toru Amuro was not standing there waiting for someone. Based on the principle that he might as well have nothing to do, the boss went into the house and made the tea first.
"Much more diligent than Hashimoto Maya." Jiang Xia nodded secretly in his heart, took the brewed black tea and placed it in front of the customer.
The young woman quickly filled out the form, then took out a business card and handed it over: "My name is Shinna Kaori, and I would like you to help me find someone."
"Niname?" Conan looked at this uncommon surname and was a little surprised. "Sister, do you know someone named Niname Rentaro?"
Hearing the name, Shinname Kaori gave a wry smile, "Of course. He's my father."
Conan: “???” She is actually the daughter of that great writer? ——I just watched the TV series of “Detective Samonji” and I saw the family of its creator in the blink of an eye. This is really a coincidence.
"If Xiaolan were here, she would definitely not be able to resist asking her for an autograph." Thinking of this, Conan decided to help collect stamps.
He looked up and asked, "Sister Xinming, after completing the commission, can you ask your father to sign it?"
"Of course." Shinname Kaori said helplessly, "But then again, only if we complete the commission can we get his signature - in fact, he disappeared two months ago."
"Missing?" Conan was stunned. "But didn't your father start serializing the Detective Samonji series in Bungeishuji two months ago? I've read the content...well, I mean, Brother Jiang Xia told me about the serialized novel. With such a wonderful plot, it must have been written by Mr. Niname himself."
Shinname Kaori had heard this countless times. She could not control her emotions and said excitedly, "But what I said is true! My father and mother disappeared from home at the same time - just one week before the resumption of serialization of Detective Samonji!"
Realizing that her voice was too loud, she took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and said calmly: "That day my parents left a note saying 'we are going out to relax' and then left home... I thought they were just going to take a walk nearby, but who knew that from then on, they never came back.
"I asked all my relatives and friends, and they all said they hadn't seen my parents... At first, some people were as worried as I was, but a week later, Detective Samonji resumed serialization, and those relatives and friends were relieved, saying that he must have hidden somewhere to write a novel, and told me not to worry too much."
As she spoke, Shinname Kaori felt like crying again, but she tried her best to hold it back, clenching her palms and continuing, "I went to the editorial office to inquire, and they said that my father would fax the manuscripts to me every week. Every Saturday, it would be sent on time at midnight."
Jiang Xia said casually: "Fax documents usually have a phone number and sender. Didn't the editorial department receive it?"
Shinna Kaori nodded and said, "The sender set it to be sent anonymously. There is no information on the file except the manuscript itself. Plus, my parents haven't contacted me for two months... This has never happened before. Something must have happened to them.
"I called the police, but because I had never received a blackmail letter and I had manuscripts sent on time every week, the police said they couldn't file a case. Other detective agencies also refused to accept my commissions... I had no choice but to come here. Please believe me, my parents are really missing!"
Jiang Xia held his chin in his hand, regretting a little that he didn't keep Amuro Toru to handle this commission. But he was free anyway, so he stood up and said, "Since your father contacts the editorial department every week..."
Shinna Kaori listened to this familiar opening, clenched her hands, and slowly lowered her head.
Then she heard the detective say, "Then go to the editorial office first."
"?!" Shinname Kaori stood up, "Okay!"
She turned her head away and wiped away her tears quietly: Finally... finally found a reliable detective who is willing to believe in her!
…
The editorial office was some distance away from here, and Jiang Xia originally wanted to ride his motorcycle all the way there, but there were not enough helmets, and Conan firmly refused to squeeze between the two of them.
So he had to park his motorcycle nearby, take a taxi and rush there.
On the way, Xinming Xiangbaoli nodded her head and soon fell asleep against the car window: she had been anxiously looking for her parents for so long, and now she finally found her friends. She relaxed and now just felt sleepy all over.
Conan glanced at her, took the opportunity to pull Jiang Xia, and asked in a low voice: "Why did your boss insist on letting you take this commission? He doesn't look like such an enthusiastic person."
Jiang Xia: “…” Why else? Of course he didn’t want to take it but couldn’t refuse, so he picked out innocent employees to take the blame.
But there was no need to say this to the fake elementary school student, Jiang Xia said perfunctorily: "The boss is actually a nice person."
Conan: “……?” Are you sure?
He really wanted to unravel the suspicious points about Toru Amuro, but today's taxi driver happened to be wearing black.
Conan looked at the innocent driver with fear, hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that this was not the place to talk, so he swallowed his words back.
