The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 302 Christmas Invitation (3)

Of course, Tachibana Mio knew Qian Xiaoyi's recent situation. "Horror Night GO" was a popular TV program, and Qian Xiaoyi was a key figure, so he must be very popular in WTV. Tachibana Mio did not expect that under such circumstances, Qian Xiaoyi could still remember her commission, and even helping the program to revive was only part of the commission. This surprised Tachibana Mio very much.

——When something happens, he really does it.

"Mr. Qian...you're so awesome." In the end, Tachibana Mio could only stammer out these words.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "But this is the limit of what I can do at the moment. The next floors are not places that a mercenary like me who has not joined the TV station can view. There are many places that outsiders are not allowed to enter, such as various archives rooms, finance rooms, and computer rooms. They are usually locked day and night. If you want to get in, you can only break in illegally or become a formal employee of WTV, which is very difficult for me..."

"Eh? You don't have to go to that kind of place." Tachibana Mio said, "Just go to the place where Sakura might be at that time."

The air freezes.

Qian Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed: I've gone to so much trouble to get into places that ordinary people don't normally go to, and now you're telling me I don't have to go? What do you mean?
Seeing Qian Xiaoyi's sharp eyes, Tachibana Mio also felt a little embarrassed. She said hurriedly: "Well, I didn't expect you to be so careful... It's my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly at that time. You don't have to go to places that Xiaoying can't go to..."

"But, that's not what you said at the beginning." Qian Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes and said, "It was already written in the contract that I needed to check every corner of the WTV building. Do you want to modify the terms of the contract now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Tachibana Mio stood up in panic and bowed to apologize: "I didn't think so much at the time!"

"Ah, brother Yi, bullying a girl is not a gentlemanly act." Not far away, Maria saw this scene and said, "What rude words did you say? Even if you want to confess, you have to wait until the time is right."

"It's not a confession!" Qian Xiaoyi sighed helplessly, picked up his beer, and said to Tachibana Mio: "Forget it, just revise it, let's go to the booth inside to chat, it's too conspicuous here..."

Tachibana Mio nodded and followed Qian Xiaoyi to the corner. Looking at Qian Xiaoyi's back, she felt that something that had been buried for a long time was beginning to revive and stir.

Of course, it’s not love or anything like that.

It was the urge to find the truth. She could feel that, unlike other detectives she had looked for, Qian Xiaoyi was not fooling her, but was completing her commission seriously. Even if the content of her commission was outrageous, the other party was trying his best to complete it.

This made her hope resurface. Perhaps, the other party could do what others couldn't do at the time and find out the truth thoroughly!

After sitting down again, Qian Xiaoyi noticed that Tachibana Mio's eyes behind her glasses suddenly became hot.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qian Xiaoyi was a little puzzled.

"Nothing." Tachibana Mio smiled.

"Where were we just talking about?" Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment and continued, "Before, when I mentioned those places that are difficult to enter, I wanted to ask if you know anyone in WTV who can help me. But since you said that those places don't need to be entered, I want to modify the commission... How do you want to modify it? Let's make it clear in advance that the contract can only be modified if both parties agree. You are the client, so tell me your thoughts first."

"Yes." Tachibana Mio said, "I actually only have one commission, which is to find evidence of Sakura's disappearance in the WTV building.

To give an example, it's like solving a math problem. The task I commissioned before was to use the exhaustive method. I ask you to check every corner of the building. With your psychic ability, Mr. Qian, you may be able to see something. But I also know that this method is quite unreliable. It is possible that she left nothing behind, or she did not die there. In that case, it would be a waste of work.

As you said, if some places cannot be entered, the commission cannot be completed, but those places you mentioned are not that important to me, because Xiaoying can't go to the archives room, finance room, computer room and so on of the TV station. "

"So you want to modify the contract so that I only need to go to places she might go?" Qian Xiaoyi's eyes lit up. This would be much more convenient for him. Maybe it could be completed within a month or two.

"No." Tachibana Mio stared at Qian Xiaoyi and said, "What I want to modify is... to add a completion condition for the commission."

"Additional...conditions?" Qian Xiaoyi frowned, having a bad feeling: "What conditions?"

Tachibana Mio said, "Since my goal is to find traces left by Sakura, then the additional condition I'm going to add is to find the place where Sakura disappeared. As long as you find this place, there is no need to go to other places. This commission will be considered completed directly, and I will pay the commission fee of 1000 million directly to your account!"

It sounds wonderful, but Qian Xiaoyi knows the danger. He said, "Ms. Tachibana, I want to remind you that the detective Kashima who investigated this matter died in an unclear manner. The pool of blood is still hanging on the wall of the utility room of the office, staring at me every day."

Seeing how scary he was, Tachibana Mio's momentum weakened a little. She quickly said, "I don't need you to investigate her affairs. I just need you to find out where she disappeared."

"Is there any difference?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at her as if she were a fool.

Tachibana Mio shrank her neck and explained weakly, "Of course there is a difference. I don't want Mr. Qian to fall into that situation. Mr. Kashima must have found out some inside information, so he was killed. But I don't need you to find out the inside information. That's the difference.

All you have to do is find out where she disappeared. You don't need to do anything else. As long as you can prove that she disappeared in the building, you don't need any evidence. Just tell me when you find out."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "What's the point of this?"

"Yes." Tachibana Mio clenched her fists and said with full of fighting spirit: "At least it can prove that I'm not working hard in the wrong place. As long as I can know this, I'll be satisfied."

Qian Xiaoyi asked again: "If I really prove that she had an accident somewhere in the building, what will you do then?"

Tachibana Mio said: "I will do my best to find the truth, even if it takes my whole life. As long as we know the exact location where she disappeared, there will definitely be traces left, and then we can determine the approximate range of the criminal, and then we can slowly look for clues until we dig out the truth."
