Chapter 15: Two or Three Things About the Detective Agency
Joto Detective Agency.
Gao Cheng handed over the affair investigation photos he got to the client, and after getting the rest of the commission fee, he personally sent the client out of the office.
It took a few more days for him to finally complete the commission.
With a generous reward and the prestige he gained from helping Conan catch the bandit group and recover the gold coins before, this time he also has a large amount of assets, and he doesn't need to worry about money for a short time.
However, Gao Cheng still didn't choose to exchange reputation points in the end.
Because he finally has his first fan, although he is just a little girl, and he is not a detective fan, but he finally has a fan, and it would be a pity to consume his reputation like this.
Putting away the payment, Gao Cheng touched the cheek kissed by Ayumi like a memory, turned back to the desk, and picked up the phone to contact Aunt Jimei.
After thanking him, Gao Cheng apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Jimei, I don't plan to accept this kind of commission in the future." ”
"Why?" The landlord was stunned, "Did something happen?" Are you not going to continue to open a detective agency? ”
"No, no, it's just," Gao Cheng thought about his recent experience and exhaled lightly, "It's just that I don't want to be this kind of detective." ”
After talking on the phone, Gao Cheng's body seemed to be much more relaxed.
Recently, because of money, he has received a lot of various commissions, and this time he even chose to investigate the affair, which really made him feel tired and let him see himself clearly.
He's not the material to do these sneaky things, or he's more looking forward to becoming a detective like Kudo Shinichi, a famous detective like that.
……
In the alley opposite the Maori detective agency, Gao Cheng wore a high-necked trench coat, sneaked in a telescope, and pulled down the brim of his hat to poke his head out.
It's almost seven o'clock in the morning, and Conan seems to have just gotten up, nothing unusual, only Maori Kogoro, who was watching Yoko Okino's show early in the morning, looking like a sloppy uncle.
Really, such a big person.
Gao Cheng took his eyes off Mori Kogoro, and after finding that Conan had already packed up and was ready to go out, he hurriedly retracted back into the alley, and waited until Conan walked outside the alley before quietly following again.
After the museum incident, the system was no longer moving, there was no way, he could only rely on himself, anyway, even if he solved the incident that the system did not release, he would have a chance to get prestige, and it would be far more than the commissions he was looking for.
The last two times I got this reputation point, and the harvest is pretty good.
Gao Cheng carefully recorded in a small notebook: "On Wednesday, Conan went to school as usual......"
"Huh?" Conan turned his head alertly, and after noticing nothing, he continued to walk towards Didan Elementary School with a puzzled expression.
It's been days, and he doesn't know what's going on, he always feels like someone is following him, but he can't find anything unusual.
After passing an intersection, Conan solemnly hid around the corner, waited for a while, and quietly poked his head out, but still found nothing.
"Strange, is it my delusion?"
Conan stood suspiciously at the intersection, worried that the black-clad organization was investigating him, but when he thought about it, he felt unlikely.
"What the hell is going on...... Oops, it's almost late! ”
At Didan Elementary School, Gao Cheng climbed up to a nearby abandoned building and continued to observe with a telescope.
In the first grade B class, Ayumi and several elementary school students are still in class normally, only Conan is lying listlessly on the table, looking like he has nothing to love.
"At 8 a.m., there was still nothing out of the ordinary...... Damn, it's been days, why hasn't anything happened? ”
Gao Cheng put down the notepad weakly, and he couldn't write anymore.
It's really weird.,If you don't want to meet it, you'll always encounter it.,Travel can encounter bomb incidents.,How come to squat but there's no movement.。
Conan was already beginning to suspect that if he hadn't waited carefully for a while, he would definitely have been caught, but if he continued to follow like this, he would have been discovered sooner or later, and he didn't know how to explain it at that time.
"It doesn't look like there's going to be much to be gained today." Gao Cheng yawned tiredly, he hadn't slept well for a few days from morning to night.
Continuing to observe noon, after the bell rang for the end of elementary school, Gao Cheng silently returned to his detective agency.
Like the Mori Detective Agency, the Joto Detective Agency is on the second floor, with the words "Joto Detective Agency" on a row of transparent windows.
Although the rent burden is a bit heavy, it is actually quite rewarding to have such a shop in this metropolis.
And now that the detective agency is on the right track, not only does it have a little reputation, but the funds are quite sufficient for the time being, so there is no need to worry about not being able to hold on as it did at the beginning.
Walking downstairs to the detective agency, Gao Cheng suddenly found that the coffee shop that was originally on the first floor was closed, and there was a van parked at the door.
The café seems to have opened just over two months ago, and the owners are two cute girls who have just graduated from college, who came to Tokyo with dreams to work hard, and some time ago they occasionally invited him to coffee when he came back from work.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the two girls moving things to the car, Gao Cheng stepped forward in surprise and asked.
"Gao Chengjun," one of the girls noticed Gao Cheng and said with a gloomy expression, "I haven't made any money recently, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the rent next month, so Lily and I plan to go back to our hometown." ”
"But I think your coffee is delicious, maybe it will get better in the future!" Gao Cheng hurriedly persuaded that he really likes to be neighbors with these two kind girls these days, and the coffee is also very heartwarming.
"Thank you, Gao Chengjun, but there are some things that can't be helped," the girl had a good impression of Gao Cheng, and said with a smile, "You are also a detective now, you must work hard, I hope I can see your report in my hometown in the future." ”
Gao Cheng silently watched the two girls pack up their things and leave, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Although he feels sorry for the two girls, he can't do anything about it, he still has his own detective agency to support, this is the cruel reality.
When I turned around and looked at the empty first floor, I always felt that something was missing, and there was no hot coffee to drink when I came back in the evening.
When you have money in the future, you will rent the first floor, no, just buy this three-story building directly, maybe you can invite the two young ladies back to open a coffee shop again.
Crossing his waist and looking up at the entire small building, Gao Cheng regained his energy and returned to the detective agency on the second floor.
Turn on the light, the room is still a little messy because of the hurry to go out in the morning, but it has a feeling of home, but this home is only lived by him alone and deserted.
In this world, the original owner has no family except for his deceased grandfather, and he hasn't even seen much of his relatives, and when his peers go to college, he has to work hard to support a detective agency and survive alone in the metropolis of Tokyo.
"About the weather in the Kanto region tomorrow......" sat at the desk and turned on the TV, and the sound of the program brought a bit of excitement to the room, when the system suddenly sounded a prompt.
Gao Cheng opened the system interface suspiciously, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Finally, there is a new event.
