The Corpse Collector In Conan - CH 19.2

A week later.

Amuro made a mistake.

After he came back, he wanted to go home first and sort out the information he had collected.

But when he passed the Metropolitan Police Department, he suddenly noticed that there were some people surrounding the street, looking up at something on the telegraph pole.

Toru Amuro raised his head suspiciously and followed them to look up.

It had a black and silver background, an aggressive shape, and is extremely impactful, with a few large characters on it – Amuro’s Detective Agency.

Toru Amuro: “…”

…What is this?

…

Originally, Toru Amuro should go home at this time.

But after he looked at the billboard and froze for a few seconds at the intersection, he turned around into the alley and headed to the detective agency.

He remembered that he told Jiang Xia that the firm did not need performance.

Moreover, the funds he allocated to Jiang Xia were ostensible “the firm’s operating expenses.” But in fact, Toru Amuro thought that the two of them should know it well – this was considered a subsidy for Jiang Xia.

But now it seemed…

This “knowledge” was unilaterally known only to him?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia was an honest person and didn’t understand his hint, so he really used the money to buy billboards and advertising space?

“…”

Toru Amuro walked into the office with a complicated mood.

At a glance, I saw Jiang Xia sitting on the sofa in the store, holding a bottle of Coke, eagerly waiting for the business.

Seeing that it was he who entered the door, he seemed a little disappointed.

Toru Amuro looked at the employee’s eyes “Why are you here?”, and his mood became more complicated: “What’s the matter with that billboard at the intersection?”

Jiang Xia got up first and brought Amuroto a glass of cold water, and reviewed the things he had done.

Then he said: “I put it up a few days ago- it just happened that the massage shop next door closed down, and its advertising space was sold at a low price. I asked about the price and felt that it could attract customers, so I bought it.”

Toru Amuro nodded, “Is that so…”

After finishing speaking, he was a bit at a loss for words.

The main reason was that I couldn’t think of how to say “you don’t need to advertise, it is fine to corrupt the organization’s funds” to say it euphemistically and decently.

However, it seemed that the newly recruited apprentice was very dedicated to the firm.

And if you think about it carefully, a dedication was actually a virtue.

This is a good thing, a good thing…

Toru Amuro reluctantly swallowed the topic of “corruption of public funds”.

And, let’s not talk about funding. Now it seemed that the effect of hanging billboards was real.

——Toru Amuro saw a pile of photos spread out on the desk, which should have been brought by the client.

He took a closer look: “Have you received a commission?”

…

This was actually not Jiang Xia’s commission, but a commission received by the detective next door a while ago.

This commission was related to a murder case in Gunma County.

——Someone paid a lot of money to entrust the detective next door to track a person. The detective next door followed for three days and got the commission fee. As a result, on the fourth day, the person being followed was burned to death in the bonfire.

Now, many doubts point to the commissioned person, but the police and the detective next door had no evidence.
