The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 78 Extreme Speed ​​of Life and Death

In the office, Qian Xiaoyi made up his mind that no matter how unremarkable the monster he encountered in the future, he would never be so arrogant again!
What happened yesterday really scared Qian Xiaoyi. If a seemingly ordinary slit-mouthed woman was so powerful, then other ghosts would not be much worse. The water here is very deep and he can't grasp it. So he needs to be careful in the future, otherwise he will be killed by some insignificant thing and he will have nowhere to complain.

Qian Xiaoyi covered his uncomfortable head, his stomach growling with hunger, so he took out the lunch box from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave to heat it up to fill his stomach first. After finishing the order last night, he returned to the office and fell asleep. He slept for more than ten hours and woke up in the afternoon. Moreover, his head was still groggy after waking up, as if he had drunk fake wine. This was because he overused his brain. At that time, in order to fight against the evil thoughts released by the slit-mouthed woman, he did not dare to be careless and distracted. Even so, he was almost broken by the evil thoughts. Thinking about it now, it is scary.

After finishing his lunch, Qian Xiaoyi went to a nearby bathhouse to take a bath, changed clothes, and then came back to burn incense, calm his mind, and recite Taoist scriptures many times to get rid of the bad luck in his body. Only then did he slowly recover.

"This Kawasaki kid made a fortune! I only charged him 30,000 yen for sealing that thing!" Qian Xiaoyi said angrily: "Next time this happens, I will charge you 300,000... No, 500,000 yen! Otherwise, don't even think of asking me to do this job again!"

Because he almost suffered a great loss, Qian Xiaoyi never rashly contacted the monsters in urban legends for the next half month. He only took Inuyama Heita and Ajian to scout the situation on the periphery, so nothing special happened during this period.

It was June and the temperature in the city suddenly rose. The hot weather made Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita too lazy to go out, so they simply rested for several days and enjoyed the quietness.

At this time, a whole month had passed since the Lucky Mutual Aid Society incident, and finally someone came to us.

On this day, Inuyama Heita had just finished school and was planning to go home directly. After all, he had nothing to do in the past few days, so he might as well review his homework at home. Then he received a message from Qian Xiaoyi:
[Don’t go back today, come directly to the office, we are here to live! ]

Seeing this message, Inuyama Heita was also a little excited. It wasn't that he wanted to find excitement or anything, but commissions meant commission fees! The last time he made money was the night of the slit-mouthed woman. He got 10% of the commission fee given by Kawasaki, which was yen. It can only be said that it was better than nothing. After such a long time without any income, Inuyama Heita wanted to go back to work at Shanwailou. Now that he saw a commission coming to him, he was naturally full of energy.

After arriving at the office, Inuyama Heita just pushed open the door and wanted to ask what was going on, when he saw a female customer sitting on the sofa and talking to Qian Xiaoyi.

"Hello." Inuyama Heita greeted the guest politely, then looked at Qian Xiaoyi.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded and said to the female guest, "Then you go first. I already know about your father's situation. I will go and check on the situation later."

"Yes, thank you for your help." The young woman bowed slightly and left through the door.

"Brother Yi, is that the client this time?" After the guest left, Inuyama Heita couldn't wait to ask, "What is the content of the commission?"

Ah Jian also floated out and asked curiously, "Is he investigating evidence of cheating or something?"

"I'm not a second-rate detective, so I won't take that kind of job." Qian Xiaoyi asked Inuyama Heita, "Do you remember Kuroda Nobunaga?" "Kuroda..." Inuyama Heita recalled and searched for the name in his mind. He nodded and said, "Yeah, I remember. He was a senior member of the Lucky Mutual Aid Association before? He seemed to be a truck driver who helped Matsui transport dead fetuses. Wasn't he arrested?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Not really. Later, after police investigation, they found that the guy was involved in the illegal sale of stillborn fetuses, but he was not aware of it, so he was released later. However, after this incident, the transportation company he used to work for fired him. The lady just now is her daughter. She came to see me after hearing about the Lucky Mutual Aid Association."

"Is she in trouble?" Ajian asked.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "That's fine, but to be more precise, his father, Kuroda Nobunaga, got into trouble and is now in the hospital. We can talk about the details on the way. We'll take the train this time."

On the way to the hospital, Qian Xiaoyi briefly explained Kuroda Nobunaga's current situation to Inuyama Heita.

To put it simply, after losing his job, Kuroda Nobunaga became decadent and lost his temper easily, so he was disliked by his wife and daughter. Then, this guy actually made an appointment with someone at night and went to the suburbs to race with young people. As a result, he had a car accident and did not wake up for a week. The hospital could not find out the cause. So his daughter Kuroda Sachiko thought of Qian Xiaoyi and speculated that it might be related to that aspect, so she wanted to ask him to take a look.

"Racing?!" Inuyama Heita said in surprise: "Mr. Kuroda looks like he's already 40 years old. How come he's still racing with others?"

"Could he have been a biker gang when he was young?" Ken asked. "When I was young, there were quite a lot of bikers in Tokyo. You could often hear the noise of racing cars at night, but now they have disappeared... Judging from his age, he was young when bikers were popular."

"Is that so?" Inuyama Heita recalled briefly. He remembered that he had indeed seen some biker gangs when he was a child, but as he grew older, those people seemed to have disappeared.

"The answer is correct." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Ajian guessed it. Mr. Kuroda was indeed a member of a biker gang when he was young. He had to leave the group after he got married and had children. He drove a truck for more than ten years to support his family. More than a year ago, he was fired by the company because of an accident caused by fatigue driving. He couldn't stand the pressure from his family and the people around him, so he became a homeless for a while. Later, he joined the Lucky Mutual Aid Association. We all know what happened after that. He was fired again before he had worked for two months."

"Then they went racing with other bikers to relieve stress, and something happened again?" Inuyama Heita sighed, "Unsafe driving is really dangerous."

Qian Xiaoyi looked away with a guilty conscience. To be honest, his behavior of speeding around on the road with Inuyama Heita on a small motorcycle was also an unsafe driving behavior.

"Ahem... Anyway, we still have to check it out first to know if it's within our business scope." Qian Xiaoyi stopped and said in front of the hospital gate, "This is it. We're here."
