Chapter 9 Detective Knowledge
Saying goodbye to Mao Lilan, Chen Shi came to the Mihua Town Library.

Since you are planning to open a detective agency, you need to supplement relevant knowledge, otherwise you will be caught blind when you encounter a case that is not in the plot.

Anyway, today is the weekend, tomorrow may also be the weekend, and even the day after tomorrow may be the weekend, so don't rush to school.

What do you know about being a detective?
Chen Shi believes that psychology, behavior, and micro-expression are the three mainstreams, and knowledge such as tracking and reconnaissance, unlocking and decryption, hypnosis, and forensic medicine is also needed to assist.

Whether it is Conan or Hattori Heiji, they have dabbled in this knowledge to some extent, but rather than using this knowledge, they are more willing to use their high IQ and imagination to combine the clues they find to directly restore the modus operandi.

Chen Shi doesn't have such a big imagination, but he can constantly recall the details in the memory picture and compare the knowledge with his photographic memory, and he can also achieve the same or even surpass the speed.

Mori Kogoro also uses a similar method, but it is impossible to call up knowledge at any time, let alone write down all the details.

However, Confused Detective is still reliable in some cases about himself, and his little head can be barely used after overclocking.

This "weekend" far exceeded expectations. Chen Shi spent five days in the library before jumping to Wednesday on the calendar.

After school, he took Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to No. 16 Sidingmu, which was the former "haunted house".

"The owner here invested in me personally after I solved the case, including renting this place to me at a super low price to set up a detective agency and a start-up capital."

Chen Shi took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and finally stopped in the selected room, "I plan to ask the construction team to separate this area and the downstairs as the office's reception location.

After everything is done, Xiao Lan, you only need to come here for three hours after school every day to sort out the case files. I will hire someone else to do other things like sanitation and gardening.

As for the remuneration, how about [-] yen per day and rest on weekends? "

"Ah?!" Mao Lilan was shocked, covered her mouth and shook her head, "You don't need to pay me, it's only three hours a day."

She just wanted to help Chen Shi through the early stage, but she didn't expect Chen Shi to offer such a high salary.

You must know that even if it is her father, the famous detective Mori Kogoro, 70% of the cases cost tens of thousands of yen.

"Oh!" Suzuki Sonoko hugged Mao Lilan with a smile, "Didn't you hear that classmate Chen said that there are investors? And Xiaolan, you are totally worth the amount!"

Living in various high-level circles since she was a child, she knows that those high-level investors have no interest in how to use the investment funds at all, as long as they can get a profit in the end.

Even for some industries, what is sought is not capital gains.

Detectives are among them, and what investors care more about is the huge network behind a famous detective.

By the way, why does Chen Shi seem to be so handsome after going out for a few days?

"That's right, with Xiaolan's ability, I think I can handle this aspect of affairs very well." Chen Shi agreed.

Just like Kogoro, Mao Lilan basically handles everything in the firm except solving the case. Although [-] yen a day seems high, it is very common in many high-end firms.

Picking up the price list drawn up a few days ago from the table and handing it to Mao Lilan, Chen Shi continued, "If you take a look at my price list, you won't worry about it."

Mao Lilan took the price list, the more he looked at it, the bigger his mouth became.

"This this!"

Looking for pets is 1-10 yen, the investigation target is 50 with no upper limit, and the protection target is 50 with no upper limit.
The exaggeration of the above price is unheard of.

It can be said that if there is a real case, the income of a week can be worth a month or even a few months of Maori Detective Agency!
"Will anyone really accept this price?" Mao Lilan was puzzled.

In order to solve her doubts, Chen Shi turned to Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "Sonoko, how much does your Suzuki Consortium spend on public relations investigations every year?"

Suzuki Sonoko put his hand on his chin and thought, "Well, I don't know the details, but it should not be less than 50 billion yen."

"That's right." Chen Shi nodded, "Groups like the Suzuki Foundation, whose industries spread all over Japan, spend a lot of money on public relations investigations every year, and they are also my main target customers.

For them, speed and results are far more important than cost. "

Sonoko Suzuki frowned and asked, "The charges for the group are indeed high, but they are often operated by dozens or hundreds of people at the same time. How can you be confident in doing it alone?"

There are high-end markets, but not everyone can make the money.

As a friend, if Chen Shi just thinks in his head and doesn't have this kind of ability, she thinks it's better to change as soon as possible.

"You should have gone to a reception last night, and you had a very late rest, so you didn't have time to deal with styling when you got up late in the morning, so you went to the Margery Hotel to take a shower and re-dress during your lunch break."

Suzuki Sonoko stared wide-eyed, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Usually, you wear a headband five centimeters above your forehead, and there are two hair clips in the back to raise your hair. The inner ends of the eyebrows are trimmed to two millimeters, and the outer sides are slightly raised. The pores on the face are closed with some kind of mask.

And not only did you not match up this morning, but there were slight wrinkles on the shoulder blades of your school uniform, which means that you got up late and rushed to school.

Alcohol needs 24-48 hours to be completely metabolized in the body, so you have some headaches after you come to school, and you need to knead your head from time to time.

You come back to school after your lunch break smelling like the lobby of the Margaery, with your make-up back on. "

This time even Mao Lilan looked like a ghost.

You know, even Kudo Shinichi wouldn't notice so many details!
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a few seconds, then turned his eyes, shook his head and denied, "You're wrong!"

"When I said this, your pupils constricted, and then you looked at me, which represented surprise. You touched the headband unconsciously with your hand, and moved your nose to smell it.

Also, when you deny it, you shake your head frequently, and you dare not look directly at me, which means you are not confident. "

"Then tell me about Xiaolan, what did she do!"

Chen Shi looked at Mao Lilan and said, "There is a drop of oil on Xiaolan's clothes. Judging by the color, it should have splashed on it this morning. During lunch break, you rejected Yuanzi's invitation to leave the campus and went straight to sleep on the table. I mentioned that I will go to the supermarket to buy dinner ingredients later.

The above clues can give a conclusion that Xiaolan wakes up very early to prepare breakfast for Conan and Uncle Maori, so she is tired and sleepy, and clearly remembers that there are no ingredients in the refrigerator. "

Mao Lilan lowered her head, and really found a very small, very light oil stain on the clothes.

"Detective!" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't manage his expression anymore, and asked in confusion, "How did you notice this!?"

Pointing to his eyes, Chen Shi smiled slightly, "I have a photographic memory."
