In the morning, Jiang Xia came to the detective office as usual, lined up the newly received cat bags and dog cages, and counted them.
In addition, the previous entrustment regarding money lending collateral has also expired.
Jiang Xia checked the register and called the clients one by one.
…
After the cats and dogs were distributed, another person came to the door.
Jiang Xia raised his head and found that it was the client who asked him to keep an eye on the collateral.
The client just went to see Mrs. Maru to pay off the money and get back the mortgaged pottery, and now she stopped by the detective agency to make up the balance.
She was obviously very happy to get the pottery back successfully.
After paying the reward, Jiang Xia was given a beautiful little card with hot stamping words:
"This is the store where my friend is working. His store recently moved and he gave us some experience coupons, but I really don't have time to go. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
…
After Jiang Xia saw her off, he looked at the experience coupon in his hand.
It is not uncommon for clients to give away coupons at random - this is actually a reverse advertisement for the clients, and they will give out one when the occasion arises.
At this time, many experience coupons for new store openings were already stuffed in the office's business card box.
Most of them were restaurants, and there were also a few game arcades, all of which were given away by Jiang Xia to his hard-working younger brother.
But this time is special.
——This is a trial voucher for a ceramics classroom.
Jiang Xia originally planned to put it into the business card box after scanning it.
However, when Jiang Xia saw the word "Izu" on the address, he took action.
…
Izu is a famous seaside tourist resort, about two or three hours' drive from Tokyo, which is not too far.
Jiang Xia has no interest in watching the sea. But he remembers that in this world, Izu is also a place prone to accidents. Every time Conan and the others go to the beach in Izu, they will encounter some cases where there are ghosts to pick up.
Jiang Xia: "..." Why don't you go to school tomorrow and try to drop this experience coupon at the feet of Mao Lilan or Suzuki Sonoko and see what the reaction is?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaobai suddenly floated over and poked him, pointing behind him.
Jiangxia turned around and saw Toru Amuro standing elusive at the door of the office, looking at the experience ticket in his hand: "Kikuemon's pottery studio?"
Jiang Xia was startled.
After a moment, he thought about it and remembered that Toru Amuro could barely be considered a member of the protagonist group, and he should have some event physique.
So he handed over the experience coupon and asked expectantly: "Have you heard of this store?"
"Well, this is a store promoted by 'Kikuemon'." Toru Amuro took the card and looked at it carefully.
Seeing Jiang Xia looking very interested, he said:
"'Kikuemon' is not a name, but a title. Anyone who can get it is a national treasure-level pottery master.
"Now 'Kikuemon' has been passed down to the fifth generation, and its owner Mankichi Tsuchiya is almost 80. At this age, the pottery studio is suddenly renovated... maybe because there are fewer and fewer people learning this craft.
, wants to build a famous store to attract apprentices to his apprentices."
"..." Jiang Xia didn't expect that an experience coupon he received casually would have so many backgrounds.
In addition, there is another thing that is a bit strange.
——Toru Amuro knows too much. Pottery is not a popular hobby. Even if Bourbon is good at gathering intelligence, does he even remember the real name of the fifth generation "Kikuemon" clearly?
Jiang Xia: "..." There is something fishy about it.
And if there is something fishy, it usually means... there is hope of picking up ghosts?
Toru Amuro noticed that the way Jiang Xia looked at him gradually became strange.
He remembered Jiang Xia's spoiler-like reasoning ability and didn't hide it: "There is indeed a related task recently." As he said that, Amuro Toru shook the experience coupon in his hand, "I'll take this and use it."
Jiang Xia nodded hesitantly.
Then he took out his mobile phone and opened search.
——"Kikuemon" is really a celebrity, and you can find a lot of information about him on the Internet.
Recently, there is indeed a ceramics experience classroom under this person's name, but it was not opened by him himself, but by his junior brother, a man named Mino Muneyuki.
Meinong Muneyuki actually opened a store more than ten years ago, but it has always been very low-key.
But recently, Kikuemon urged his junior to renovate the store and made many improvement requests.
So currently, this store is still in trial operation.
But just now, the experience coupons given to Jiang Xia by the client were not advertisements, but genuine "experience coupons" with limited circulation and not for sale.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the news and then at the two impressive names, and suddenly regretted it.
...Had I known this, I shouldn't have agreed so quickly when the boss asked for the coupons just now.
