The Corpse Collector In Conan - CH 18.2
Because of some things in his childhood, Toru Amuro had a good impression of Shirley’s mother.
Therefore, it was inevitable for him to pay more attention to Shirley’s situation.
Toru Amuro had indeed heard that in the past year, Shirley had taken good care of a peripheral member.
If that person happened to be Jiang Xia…
Then Jiang Xia should not have lied.
Shirley was a researcher, not in charge of the action team.
But her status was important after all, if she was willing to speak, it would indeed cause Jiang Xia not to receive the task.
Toru Amuro knew that Shirley’s intention should be good.
But judging from Jiang Xia’s current situation…she obviously didn’t bring any help.
It might be that Shirley had never been short of money since she was a child, and forgot to consider this.

Toru Amuro felt a little helpless when he thought of the daughter of his first crush.
He looked at Jiang Xia, and followed what Jiang Xia said just now: “That cadre only asked you to take fewer tasks, but didn’t give you a subsidy?”
He was euphemistically reminding Jiang Xia to mention this matter to Shirley—— Once she knew the truth, she would definitely not be indifferent.
However, after Jiang Xia listened to his words, he showed a strange look: “She gave me money, but I am a man, how can I let a woman support me.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Toru Amuro, hesitant to say: ” Shouldn’t you…”
Toru Amuro: “…”
He felt that a pot with the name “Ruanfan King” was born out of nothing and gradually approached.
The blood vessels in Toru Amuro’s forehead twitched a few times: “I just asked casually just now.”
Of course, he wasn’t trying to persuade people to eat soft food.
He just felt that it was only right and proper for an adult to give some living expenses to the children she takes care of, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But now, thinking about it…
Shirley seemed to be a minor too.
Being raised by a girl of the same age, it’s no wonder Jiang Xia would firmly refuse.
It was really troublesome to be a minor…but I still meet two of them at once.

Suddenly a Shirley was inserted in the middle of the matter, and Toru Amuro’s attitude softened a little.
But before agreeing, there was one thing that he still felt strange about: “But what you said, what does it have to do with you coming to me to find a part-time job?”
Jiang Xia heard the looseness in Amuro Toru’s tone, and he explained:
“I accidentally saved a little girl who was kidnapped, and her father gave me a reward. Through that incident, I found that private detective seems to be a very suitable industry for me.”
“But I can’t open my own office, I can only be an apprentice to others.
“At that time, I happened to see your advertisement in the detective manual…”
Speaking of this, Jiang Xia pointed to the detective manual on the coffee table:
“Among all the detective agencies, yours is the closest to the Metropolitan Police Department.
“It’s not easy to be smashed this way, even if someone really comes to smash the store because of me, the police will arrive soon, so I want to try my luck. ”
Speaking, Jiang Xia looked up at Toru Amuro again: “After entering the door, I realized that I had seen you before. Your skin color and hair color are very distinctive… and the cadres of the organization should not be afraid of those hooligans. ”
Jiang Xia looked at him expectantly “you can help me”
Toru Amuro: “…”
After a pause, he put away his gun, picked up the detective manual on the table and flipped through it.
There were indeed advertisements for the office.
He himself forgot when it was published.
