The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 464: Mystery of the Hundred Ghosts (9)

"Eh?!!! WTV's commission fee is gone?!"

The next day, when Inuyama Heita came to the office and heard the shocking news, he felt like he had lost his parents. He murmured in despair, "...How could this happen?"

After completing the commission from WTV, Inuyama Heita was still fantasizing about using his share of the commission fee to pay for future university expenses. However, now the university tuition fees have suddenly disappeared. How can he not be depressed?

"But... why?" Inuyama Heita asked, "We clearly helped him deal with the big monster, why would Mr. Nanajo refuse to pay? He doesn't look like that kind of person."

Qian Xiaoyi said nonchalantly, "I guess he wants to use the money as a bargaining chip to get me to help him? After all, his current situation seems to be very good. All obstacles have been cleared and he is in direct control of the entire WTV. But that is only the surface situation. In fact, the danger he faces is like an iceberg under the water. What is invisible is the most terrifying."

"Then why don't we help him?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Qian Xiaoyi rolled his eyes. "Help him? If we want to help him, we can only join the Seventh Financial Group. But if we enter their territory, then all our advantages will be gone. I dare say that as long as I join the Seventh Financial Group, I will definitely be beaten to death by them using the means they are familiar with. That guy thinks I am a god. I don't have the confidence to fight the enemy in such a restricted situation. And now, even if he wants to give me the money, I dare not take it."

"Why is that?" Inuyama Heita was very surprised: "Isn't that the money we deserve?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "He gave the commission to the finance department and did some tax evasion. If such a large sum of money is deposited into my account, as long as the other party is willing, they can do something and I will be charged with a lot of economic crimes. Tax evasion is the least of it. It is equivalent to having many more handles in other people's hands. But don't worry, after this period of time is over, I guess that guy will come to me crying and beg me."

Inuyama Heita sighed: "It seems that the world of rich people is not so smooth. Everyone has their own troubles."

"We can't imagine the happiness of rich people." Qian Xiaoyi curled his lips and said, "Ordinary people's troubles are often given by life, and most of their troubles are self-inflicted in order to maintain their own interests and status, so I suggest you don't waste your extra sympathy."

"That's true." Inuyama Heita accepted the current situation and asked, "So what are we going to do for today's commission?"

"The client is at the Tokyo Racecourse." Qian Xiaoyi said, "The client is a rider. He said that his competition condition has been very bad recently and he can't win no matter what. However, no problems were found in the physical examination or the horse, so he suspected that his competitor had someone cast a curse on him."

When Inuyama Heita heard this, he immediately understood: "This is a big order!"

Generally speaking, there are basically no supernatural events in this type of commission, and the clients are very easy to fool. They believe whatever the exorcist says. It is the lucrative job that exorcists dream of.

Qian Xiaoyi said proudly, "Right~ Thanks to our fame from appearing on TV before, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten a chance to do this kind of work. Today happens to be the weekend, so we might even be able to watch the live game if we go there~ By the way, have you been there?"

Inuyama Heita nodded: "I went there once when I was a child, but I was too young at that time and don't have many memories."

"Then I'll take you on a tour today." Qian Xiaoyi snapped his fingers: "Let's go!"

The two left the office, rode on the Nuhuomaru, and headed towards the racecourse.

The destination was located in the suburbs of Tokyo. It took them nearly an hour to drive to the Tokyo Racecourse. Before they even entered, they could hear the cheers of the crowds of people inside. Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "There are really a lot of people here on weekends." They parked the car in the parking lot. Qian Xiaoyi said, "I just contacted the client. He said he had just finished the race and would have to wait a while before coming out, so let's go shopping first."

There is not only one racecourse at this place, but also a considerable area for other uses, such as a horse racing museum, shopping streets, restaurants, and pubs.

The two of them walked around for a while and then came to the racecourse. There were quite a lot of spectators today, but it seemed like a race had just ended. No horses were seen running on the field. Instead, many people were walking towards the hall next to the venue.

"Hmm? What are they doing?" Qian Xiaoyi asked curiously, "Is it over?"

Inuyama Heita said, "The next game is about to start. We should go in and place our bets. After all, most people are here for this."

Qian Xiaoyi suddenly realized: "Ah, that's right, let's go in and take a look, I haven't seen it yet."

The two followed the crowd into the hall. The TV screen in the hall displayed various numbers, basically the odds of each horse. Although there were many people in the hall, it did not seem noisy. Almost everyone was studying the horse newspapers and betting slips in their hands, or standing in front of the screen watching the replay.

Qian Xiaoyi stood beside an old man and watched for a while. He found that this guy was basically calculating the probability of each horse winning. He kept writing and drawing on paper with a pen in his hand. After seeing Qian Xiaoyi observing him, he secretly leaned forward to prevent Qian Xiaoyi from seeing the results of his calculations.

In addition to these "researchers", Qian Xiaoyi also saw several middle-aged men in the venue with visibly dejected looks on their faces. It was obvious that they had just lost the horse racing bet. Their eyes were red, but they continued to place bets, trying to make a comeback. It seemed that they were addicted.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "Gambling is harmful. Judging from his expression, he probably spent all his family's wealth... Hei Taro, do you want to try it? Hei Taro?"

No one answered, so he turned his head and found Inuyama Heita looking straight in a certain direction, as if he had discovered something.

Qian Xiaoyi followed his gaze, but only saw a huge crowd of people.

"What are you looking at?" Qian Xiaoyi was about to ask carefully when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the client's call.

He immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Qian Xiaoyi from Lingkong Office. I'm already in the lobby... Hey! Where are you going?"

Inuyama Heita said, "Brother O, you go first, I'll be back soon."

As he said this, he squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the other end of the hall.

Qian Xiaoyi was holding the phone in his hand and was very surprised by Inuyama Heita's behavior at this moment, but he couldn't leave at the moment and could only watch him walk away.
