Toru Amuro has actually met Jiang Xia and knows that he is from the organization.
——As a busy official member, he occasionally uses peripheral members.
About a year ago, the two had a brief encounter during a mission.
Toru Amuro felt that he could remember Jiang Xia from a group of peripheral members, so there was no reason why Jiang Xia couldn't remember a formal member with blond hair, dark skin, and a very distinctive appearance.
Therefore, Toru Amuro felt that Jiang Xia had a big problem.
Most peripheral members are afraid of cadres. How could she come to him to find a part-time job, and even refuse to leave after he made it clear that she was seeing the guests off.
...suspicious, too suspicious.
No matter what, you can't let people go until you ask questions.
Thinking like this, Amuro revealed the dark sneer unique to a villain. He held a gun and approached with a sense of oppression: "Who sent you here? Are you a lackey of those policemen?"
Jiang Xia: "..." There are a lot of jokes in this statement, but you can't spit it out.
But Jiang Xia understood. Amuro Toru said this, which was equivalent to a warning.
——A peripheral member trespassing on Bourbon's territory without authorization. This behavior is suspicious enough.
If Jiang Xia couldn't give a reasonable explanation, even if Toru Amuro regarded the person as "a lackey sent by the enemy to spy on intelligence" and killed him on the spot, no one would be able to hold him accountable.
Peripheral members without code names are so easy to lead, they are cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
But not bad.
In front of me is a bottle of fake wine.
The chances of shooting are low.
Moreover, with ghosts in hand, Jiang Xia is actually not very afraid of death.
Or, strictly speaking, as a serious psychic who has passed the eighth grade, he is not afraid of "being killed by outstanding people."
The souls of the dead are born with a layer of resentment, and the target of this resentment is very clear - it will be directed at their murderer.
Plus the characteristics of the psychic. After death, they can maximize the advantages of their spiritual bodies.
In other words, whoever dares to kill the psychic in person will have a ridiculously high success rate in snatching away the murderer's body.
However, changing the body is very harmful to the soul. Moreover, the ghosts will also slip away in this process because they are over-squeezed and the contract becomes incomplete.
Therefore, psychics will try their best to avoid death.
…
But now, there is only one ghost in Jiangxia. Even if he is killed, he will not lose much.
In addition, every time he met Gin, Gin would point a gun at him for a while... To be honest, he was already used to it.
Facing a loaded gun, Jiang Xia had a good attitude:
"No one assigned me, I found it myself. I wanted to find a more stable source of income.
"In the past, I offended some local gangsters because of the organization's tasks. They didn't dare to come to me head-on, so they kept playing dirty tricks - no matter where I went to work, it wouldn't take long before the place would be smashed. The more times it happened, the less likely it would be. The boss dares to ask me."
Jiang Xia said and sighed: "Now I can only go to work far away. After deducting the travel expenses, the salary is very small and not enough."
…
Toru Amuro is also a person who often works part-time.
Of course, the purpose is different from Jiangxia: Toru Amuro has no need for salary, mainly to collect intelligence.
But the difficulties encountered when looking for a job are actually the same.
When Jiang Xia spoke, he felt very immersive for some reason.
As Toru Amuro listened, her hand holding the gun unconsciously loosened a little... These peripheral members were too miserable.
But when Jiang Xia's voice stopped, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Organization..."
"The organization gave me very few tasks." Jiang Xia shook his head slightly and lowered his eyes. "A member with a code name felt that I had a psychological problem and could not be stimulated, so he rarely assigned me a job. If I can't find another one, When I got a stable part-time job, I had no choice but to sell my parents’ house. But that was the last thing they had left..."
Toru Amuro: "..." Is it really so difficult?
However, when it comes to psychological issues and not being given a job…
Toru Amuro suddenly thought that this "a member" might be referring to Shirley.
…
Because of some things that happened when he was a child, Toru Amuro had a good impression of Shirley's mother.
Therefore, it is inevitable for him to pay more attention to Shirley's situation.
Toru Amuro had indeed heard that Shirley had taken great care of a peripheral member in the past year.
If that person happens to be Jiang Xia...
Then Jiang Xia probably didn't lie.
Shirley is a researcher and has no control over implementation matters.
But after all, her identity is important. If she is willing to speak, it will indeed cause Jiang Xia to miss the mission.
Toru Amuro knew that Shirley's intention was good. But judging from Jiang Xia's current situation...she obviously had bad intentions and was not helping.
It may be that Shirley has never been short of money since she was a child and forgot to consider this.
…
Toru Amuro felt a little helpless when he thought about the daughter of his first crush.
He looked at Jiang Xia and followed what Jiang Xia just said: "That cadre only asked you to take fewer tasks and didn't give you any subsidies?"
He was gently reminding Jiang Xia to mention this matter to Shirley - once Shirley knew the truth, she would definitely not remain indifferent.
However, Jiang Xia had a strange look in her eyes after hearing what he said: "She gave me money, but how can I be supported by a woman as a man?"
After saying that, he looked at Toru Amuro quietly and hesitated: "You can't..."
Toru Amuro: "..."
He felt that a pot with "Soft Rice King" written on it appeared out of thin air and was gradually approaching.
The blood vessels on Amuro Toru's forehead jumped a few times: "I just asked casually."
Of course he is not trying to persuade people to eat soft food.
I simply think that it is natural for an adult to give some living expenses to the children under her care, and there is no problem.
But now, think about it...
Shirley seems to be still a minor.
Being paid to be supported by a girl of the same age, it's no wonder Jiang Xia firmly refused.
It's really troublesome to be underage...but I met two of them at once.
…
Shirley suddenly intervened in the middle of the matter, and Amuro Toru's attitude softened a little.
But before agreeing, he still felt weird about something: "But what do what you said 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 rescued a kidnapped little girl before, and her father gave me a reward. Through that incident, I found that private detective seemed to be a very suitable industry for me.
"But I can't open my own office, so I can only work as an apprentice for 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:
"Of all the detective agencies, yours is the closest to the Metropolitan Police Department.
"It's less likely to be vandalized this way. Even if someone does vandalize the store because of me, the police will arrive quickly, so I want to try my luck."
As he said that, 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... The cadres of the organization should not be afraid of those ruffians."
Jiang Xia looked at him with expectant eyes that said, "You can do it."
Toru Amuro: "..."
After a moment of pause, he put away the gun, picked up the detective manual on the table and flipped through it.
There are indeed advertisements for the firm.
He even forgot when it was published.
…
In fact, Toru Amuro doesn't need to solicit clients, nor does he need to worry about the firm's turnover - even if he loses money, he can still apply for funds from the organization.
He places advertisements from time to time just to keep the "Amuro Detective Agency" well-known.
After all, as an anonymous undercover agent, Toru Amuro cannot turn himself into a famous detective. He can only use the banner of the agency to mix in useful cases.
But Tohru Amuro didn't expect that this measure would actually attract an apprentice looking for a part-time job.
…
Normally, Toru Amuro wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
But now...Jiang Xia sounds really miserable.
In particular, a large part of this misery seemed to be caused by Shirley.
When Toru Amuro was a child, she was cared for by Shirley's mother.
Now that Shirley's parents are both dead, although he knows rationally that he shouldn't interfere, but now, this matter has fallen into his hands, and it's still easy to do...
I feel really sorry for not helping.
Moreover, as a member of the organization, Jiang Xia's life has become so difficult, but she still wants to work honestly instead of robbing and stealing. I heard that a little girl was saved.
This kid...maybe unexpectedly very helpful.
Toru Amuro struggled for a long time, but in the end he lost to the conscience of the red side.
He sighed and looked at Jiang Xia:
"You can come for an internship first, and I will pay you according to the normal hourly wage in the industry. But if there are any mistakes that will cause losses to the organization...you understand the consequences."
Jiang Xia was startled.
He actually had several follow-up persuasive words.
But I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
Could it be that the red parties in this world are more conscientious than he thought?
Anyway, as long as you can achieve your goal...
Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.
