Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 40 Almighty Little Brother

The sharp billboard made by the motorcycle brother has indeed attracted a number of customers to the office.

But most of the jobs Jiang Xia received were looking for cats and dogs, or keeping an eye on mistresses.

Jiang Xia did not transfer the case as Toru Amuro told him to do.

He wanted to keep it to build up his reputation and connections.

Therefore, Jiang Xia handed over the task of finding pets to his friends.

At first glance, the delinquents look cool and busy.

But in reality, they often get bored.

Driving cars and playing video games every day can easily get boring, so many of their group activities are actually just a group of people getting together, with fierce looks on their faces, and they are lost in thought for a while, just for formality.

When the time is up, everyone goes back to their homes.

At this time, with the novel task of finding cats and dogs, the originally boring walk through the streets suddenly became exciting.

Not to mention the hefty salary.

No one has trouble with money, even the bad guys have to make a living.

——The motorcycle is broken and needs to be repaired, the hair is messed up and needs to be permed, and the owner of the game arcade cannot let them have sex for free... In short, they are very active.

However, Jiang Xia did not set the delivery location of the pet at the detective agency.

He still remembers the background of his bullshit when he first applied for a job.

What kind of little gangster would go to the shop where he works and smash it up...

What if one day, innocent delinquents come to give away cats, but Toru Amuro misunderstands that they want to smash up the store... It will be very bad.

Therefore, the retrieved cats and dogs will be sent directly to Jiang Xia's home, and Jiang Xia will then take them to the office.

Pet entrustment is easy to solve.

However, Jiang Xia did not outsource the case of Xiaosan because it involved customer privacy, so she could only do it herself.

Fortunately, he has been very free recently.

And if you drive around outside a few times, you might get involved in a murder.

Jiang Xia carried the cat into the office and called the client to pick it up.

After sending the cat away, Jiang Xia sat there waiting for the guest to show up with ghosts.

However, it is a pity that we still received some requests to find pets, and there were no ghosts on the guests.

Jiang Xia stared at the pile of beautiful photos of cats and dogs she had just received, and sighed. Maybe the bad guys were too efficient in finding pets. Word of mouth spread among customers, and their reputation began to spread...

After failing to receive a valid case, Jiang Xia looked through the commission form and planned to go out to secretly photograph the mistress in the afternoon.

However, before leaving the house, Toru Amuro suddenly sent a message.

Jiang Xia opened it and found that the working emperor was temporarily busy, so he asked Jiang Xia to take over his part-time job today - delivering express delivery.

You still have to take the job your boss gives you.

Only by going back and forth can a harmonious and stable tool-man relationship be established.

Jiang Xia closed the door of the office, hung an appointment book at the door, and looked at it expectantly:

You are already a mature book. You must learn to attract customers with murderous intentions.

A gust of wind blew by, and the notebook opened a little, then closed again.

Jiang Xiaquan thought it was nodding.

He calculated with his fingers, interpreted this phenomenon as a good sign, locked the door with confidence, and left quickly.

Jiang Xia followed the address given by Amuro Toru and found the logistics company where he worked part-time, and received a map, cargo list, and a car.

Jiang Xia brought a cart of goods and delivered them for several hours.

This part-time job is not difficult.

But during the part-time job, Jiang Xia's mood continued to decline.

Contrary to what he expected, every customer who came to sign seemed very ordinary.

——There is no murderous intent, no ghosts, and it doesn’t seem like life is being threatened.

In the evening, only the last express item was left, but Jiang Xia still couldn't see the ghost.

Jiang Xia reluctantly got out of the car with the express delivery and walked to the recipient's door.

When the doorbell was pressed, the sleepy ghost baby on the shoulder gradually woke up. It reacted for a while and suddenly poked Jiang Xia excitedly.

Jiang Xia was startled, and after a moment, her eyes brightened.

He looked at the single-family house in front of him and politely observed a second of silence for the owner.

Then he quickly took out his mobile phone and planned to call the police. When the police came, they would sneak into the scene together and wait for an opportunity to pick up ghosts.

Unexpectedly, just after pressing 1 on the mobile phone, the door of the house suddenly opened.

The owner of the house was wearing a nightgown, yawned, and walked across the yard and approached: Come on, come on.

Jiang Xia: ...?

He stayed for a second, turned his head, and glanced at the ghost baby on his shoulder.

The ghost baby raised his hand and pointed to the next door, obediently indicating that his perception was correct.

Jiang Xia looked along and saw a gloomy bungalow.

The bungalow has several floors and a large yard. Judging from the area, it looks like a residence exclusively for rich people.

However, it had not been taken care of well. The whole house was dusty, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the walls were covered with wildly growing ivy.

Combined with today's gloomy weather, at first glance, there is only one word that can describe it.

——Haunted house.

Just as Jiang Xia took a look, the courtyard door creaked in front of him.

The owner of the house, a female high school student with heavy dark circles under her eyes, opened the door.

After she signed for the express delivery, she did not go back to the house immediately. Instead, she looked at the direction of Jiang Xia's car and asked hesitantly: Where did you come from?

With that said, the owner pointed to the road to the haunted house.

Jiang Xia nodded.

The girl swallowed hard.

She unconsciously clutched the express box: Didn't you hear the screams when you passed by that... that house just now?

Jiang Xia thought carefully: No.

Really? The girl rubbed her arms and asked reluctantly, Then... have you seen any strange figures?

Jiang Xia saw with sharp eyes that goosebumps appeared on her body.

No, none.

Jiang Xia took back the pen he used to sign for the receipt and said sternly: You have to watch the road when driving, and this is a residential area. There are often children playing on the roadside. Looking around can easily lead to accidents.

House owner: ...

The topic suddenly became very lifelike.

The goosebumps on her forearms slowly disappeared.

The girl touched her sleep-tangled hair and nodded dryly: Ah, yes, that's right.

She moved here two years ago.

Later, I heard from a neighbor that there had been a murder in the bungalow next door - a robber who broke into the house killed the man of the house, but his wife and children were not at home at the time and escaped.

After that, the murderer was never brought to justice, and the deceased’s wife and children also moved away soon.

Soon, there was a legend of a haunted house nearby - people often saw will-o'-the-wisps floating in the bungalow, and every night, a low roar could be heard... It was said that it was the ghost of the male owner who was unwilling to leave. Roar.

The girl who collects express delivery lives next to a haunted house and can often hear the roaring of the dead souls.

At first she was scared.

But later, as she gradually got used to it, she felt that it should be the sound of the wind blowing through the corridor.

However, today, the girl heard a completely different voice.

——In the haunted house, the faint screams of children could be heard.

Different from the low wind sound that I was used to hearing before, this time, it was obviously a human voice.
