The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 40 Lucky Mutual Aid Society (32)

Afterwards, all the senior executives of the Lucky Mutual Aid Association and Qian Xiaoyi were invited to the police for questioning and investigation, except for Harada Taro, who was sent to the hospital for treatment. It is worth mentioning that when Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita were inspected with two large bags, the police officer in charge looked at the contents with a strange look on his face, wondering if the two had come to the wrong place.

Since Qian Xiaoyi was the informant, he was not embarrassed during the interrogation. He was only asked a few basic questions, such as how he found out that the other party was illegally buying and selling baby corpses, how he got involved in this matter, etc. Qian Xiaoyi found an excuse, saying that his client was entangled by the Lucky Mutual Aid Society, so he started an investigation. During the investigation, he recognized the name of the Lucky Mutual Aid Society for distributing jewelry. After a follow-up investigation, he finally found the address where the other party hid the corpses and made the magic tools, and then he reported it directly.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Qian Xiaoyi's words, he was easily released. Inuyama Heita was also relatively relaxed. After all, he was just a high school student, and his confession matched that of Qian Xiaoyi. So he was treated as one of the victims deceived by the Lucky Mutual Aid Association, rather than a suspect.

Then, the two were sent back by the police car. In the car, Qian Xiaoyi looked around with interest. This was his first time riding in a police car, while Inuyama Heita seemed to be hesitant to speak. Qian Xiaoyi yawned and said, "It's getting late today, Heitaro. If you have anything, come to me tomorrow. You are also very tired today, aren't you? Have a good rest."

Inuyama Heita had a lot of questions, but since Qian Xiaoyi said so and they were now in the police car, many things were not convenient to discuss, so he could only give up and took the police car back to his residence.

The next day, after class, Inuyama Heita went straight to Lingkong Office with a lot of questions.

"Qian... um, Brother Yi, are there any guests coming?" As soon as Inuyama Heita entered the room, he saw all kinds of desserts and snacks on the coffee table. Judging from the variety, they should have been packed and brought back from the venue yesterday. Qian Xiaoyi definitely could not finish them all by himself.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Guests? Not yet, there will be in a few days. These are to celebrate your official employment. And some things can't be kept for a few days, so it will be wasted if you don't finish them. Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of juice, and we can chat slowly."

Inuyama Heita wanted to say that he had a lot of other questions, but he had other questions to ask. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "You said you wanted to take over the Lucky Mutual Aid Association. It shouldn't be true, right? After all, you called the police."

"Why would I take over that thing?" Qian Xiaoyi sneered, "To operate those things, you have to abandon your conscience. I don't plan to throw that thing away yet."

Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had vaguely guessed the truth, he felt more at ease when he heard Qian Xiaoyi say it in person, so he asked again: "Then what do you mean by the entry test you mentioned yesterday? In other words, it was to test my reaction at that time? If I didn't stand up at that time, does it mean that I failed the test?"

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi replied, "As long as you agreed to my request, or showed acquiescence or silence under my pressure, then you will fail the assessment. But I didn't expect you to punch me. You are so brave that you dared to hit me, your boss."

"I'm sorry!" Inuyama Heita hurriedly stood up and bowed to apologize: "I didn't think it was a test..."

Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm actually very surprised by your performance. In our line of work, we are most afraid of people who are weak-willed and can't resist temptation, or people who have no self-esteem and are always submissive. Those people usually end up in a miserable state, either being killed by ghosts or by people. So the more resolute you are, the higher your score will be in my assessment."

Inuyama Heita was somewhat happy. He asked, "Are you saying that, Brother Oto, you are also like me, against Harada being killed like that? I would rather he be tried than die in such a ridiculous way."

"So, you are actually the type who is against using witchcraft to kill people." Qian Xiaoyi nodded and said, "It's a pity, I don't really care if Harada died under these witchcraft. What I said at the time was true, that is, they had it all to blame for their fate. I don't mind at all that they were killed by the things they created. I won't use these techniques to harm people, but that doesn't mean I will save them." "Huh?" Inuyama Heita was stunned, he asked, "If the police hadn't come in the end, would you really have watched Harada die?"

"Not really." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "I still won't let him be killed?"

Inuyama Heita was confused: "Why?" He was confused by Qian Xiaoyi's contradictory statements.

"You'll know after looking at this." Qian Xiaoyi stood up, walked to the door of the utility room, opened the door, and showed the scene inside to Inuyama Heita.

As soon as the door opened, Inuyama Heita felt a gust of cold wind blowing from inside. He saw that the altar inside had been changed into three layers, with seven or eight tablets placed on each layer, dim candles on both sides and an incense burner with sticks in the middle. Behind the incense burner was a pile of snacks as tribute, which looked very strange. In Inuyama Heita's eyes, the smoke gradually formed a baby's head, staring at him and laughing.

"You brought them all back?!" Inuyama Heita was so scared that he stood up from the sofa. Then he thought of something, so he pointed inside and asked, "Are you saying that the reason for not letting Harada die is because of them?"

Qian Xiaoyi closed the door, and the temperature in the office returned to normal. Qian Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, because these children are innocent. They died at birth, and were taken advantage of by bad people after death. They were also beaten every once in a while. No matter who is treated like this, they will be very resentful. And if they are allowed to kill Harada Taro, they will become real evil spirits. Then I will have to eliminate them all. This kind of ending is pitiful just thinking about it."

"If that's the case... it seems so, they are indeed pitiful." Inuyama Heita was convinced, and he asked again: "But this time their amulets should have been taken away by the police, so how did you collect these little ghosts, brother Oto?"

"I went to the warehouse where Song Jing made the amulets, which is also where he kept the incense burners." Qian Xiaoyi took a piece of cake from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then said, "This method of raising little ghosts, the amulets and the incense burners are a set. That day, I took away some of the incense ashes mixed with ashes from the incense burners, and then I was able to attract them. These little ghosts have heavy resentment, and they need to be worshipped and chanted every day. It will take at least a year or three years to dissipate their resentment and make them become Buddhas. If left alone, those senior members will not only die, but at least become very unlucky, and they will become a scourge and harm others."

"So is everything okay now?" asked Inuyama Heita.

"How can it be okay? How can we get rid of the hired ghosts so easily? Those senior members have a deep connection with their own ghosts." Qian Xiaoyi suddenly smiled slyly: "That's why I said that in a few days, we will have a lot of guests, which means that Lingkong Office will finally be officially opened!"
