Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Yin Kong had originally considered whether he should try to uncover the stalker's true identity himself.

If I don't follow the system's prompts step by step, will I still be able to receive the reward for the task?

But now, he naturally wasn't in the mood for it.

Following the mission prompts, Yin Kong quickly discovered new crucial clues.

After taking the photos as required, he then reminded Yoko Okino and her manager to come over together.

"Gentlemen, I think you can come and take a look at this."

"Women's cigarettes?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly:

"That's right, and it's a very high-end women's cigarette."

This is the rooftop of a department store; apart from the cleaning staff, almost no one comes here on weekdays.

But it's clear that ordinary cleaning workers would almost never smoke such expensive women's cigarettes.

"Miss Yoko, do you recognize this brand of cigarettes?"

Yoko Okino nodded repeatedly:

"I recognize it. This is [Star Dream]. It's very expensive. I heard it uses special tobacco and new technology, so it's less harmful to the lungs and throat. It was specially developed for female artists like us..."

However, judging from the idol's dismissive tone, she clearly didn't really believe such a claim.

Yamagishi Sakae, however, looked utterly incredulous:

"How could this be—the stalker is another idol celebrity?"

Yin Kong glanced at the agent, finding his reaction somewhat unusual, but didn't intend to cause any further trouble.

"That's probably it. In that case, it explains why they only took those innocuous photos."

Firstly, they lack the ability to do so; secondly, they're probably afraid that Ms. Yoko might actually call the police, right?

After all, electronic products today are far less advanced than they are in later generations, and even taking secret photos still requires some technical expertise.

Furthermore, even considering the plot of Detective Conan, the competence of the city's police officers is rather worrying, but the other party probably wouldn't dare to gamble on whether they could be traced back to themselves once they reported it to the police.

"So, the stalker probably just wanted to take revenge on Ms. Yoko, not to die together with her." Yamagishi Ei suddenly realized, and his tone became excited. "I see. The range of female celebrities who smoke this kind of cigarette has suddenly narrowed down a lot."

At this point, even if they use the most basic process of elimination, it's only a matter of time before they can determine the stalker's true identity.

Yin Kong adjusted his glasses and offered further guidance:

"Moreover, I guess the other party is probably not doing well, or even somewhat down on their luck, otherwise they wouldn't have to personally handle this matter."

However, given that she smokes such flashy but impractical cigarettes, she's likely quite vain... It seems Ms. Yoko already has her answer in mind?

Upon hearing Yin Kong's words, Yoko Okino's expression turned somewhat awkward and hesitant.

She seemed to feel that her current behavior was like slandering others behind their backs.

However, as his manager, Sakae Yamagishi had none of these concerns.

He waved one arm and shouted excitedly:

“I know, it must be Yuko Ikezawa! She’s always been jealous that you’re much more popular than her, Yoko, and just recently, the role that was originally going to be played by her was replaced by you, so she’s been holding a grudge and did this.”

That's right! That must be it!

Yin Kong nodded slightly. He couldn't remember the stalker's full name anymore, but it should definitely be something like Yuko.

It seems there's no mistake it's Yuko Ikezawa.

Unfortunately, his memory can only serve as a reference; more concrete evidence is needed to complete the commission.

Yin Kong glanced at the mission guide and suggested:

"Mr. Yamagishi, could you please take Ms. Ikezawa Yuko's photo to the apartment's security office and ask her about her?"

Yamagishi Sakae naturally understood Yin Kong's meaning and agreed without hesitation:

"Of course, no problem, I'll go right away."

After the agent left in a hurry, Yin Kong looked at Yoko Okino beside him, whose expression was conflicted:

"Miss Yoko seems to have something to say."

Yoko Okino was taken aback, because although Yin Kong's sentence was a question, it was spoken in the tone of a declarative sentence.

However, she quickly came to terms with it:

"As expected of you."

Yin Kong's abilities far exceeded her expectations.

As a popular idol, Yoko Okino must have heard of incidents involving stalkers or obsessive fans.

To be honest, if it takes her several weeks or even months to find out who it is, that would be the best outcome she could hope for.

It wasn't that Yoko Okino was pessimistic, but rather that among the events she knew of, those that had any outcome were already quite good.

In the vast majority of cases, nothing is ever resolved in the end.

They didn't even dare to make the incident public, otherwise their idol's image would inevitably be affected.

However, she never expected that Yin Kong would basically identify the stalker in less than half a day, without even entering her house.

Such ability was truly awe-inspiring.

No wonder they dared to guarantee that they wouldn't take a single penny if the commission failed.

The idol gathered her thoughts and slowly said:

“Mr. Yin Kong, if the stalker’s identity is confirmed, Mr. Yamagishi will definitely suggest that I handle this matter publicly, because it is a very good topic.”

If it were a sasaeng fan or involved a murder case, Sakae Yamagishi might try his best to cover it up for fear of affecting Yoko Okino's image.

But since the criminals are also idols, there are no such concerns at all.

Moreover, even though Yuko Ikezawa is now a washed-up, third-rate idol, her case is far more attention-grabbing than ordinary sasaeng fan incidents.

With just a little manipulation, Yoko Okino could become a hot topic for a long time to come.

At the same time, as the perfect victim, she can also garner a lot of sympathy.

Simply put, it means you won the mahjong game.

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow and said:

"But it seems that Miss Yoko doesn't want to do this?"

"Yes, actually... I'd like to talk to Ms. Yuko first."

Yin Kong could tell that Yoko Okino herself was also conflicted, so her tone was not firm, but rather full of hesitation.

"Actually, Ms. Yuko and I debuted at the same time, and we used to have a very good relationship. She's not really a bad person, and she often encouraged me in private. Unfortunately, due to various things, she gradually became like this..."

Is this what they mean by "I'm not afraid of my brother suffering, but I'm afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover"?

"Even so, I don't want to ruin her acting career like this."

However, it is clear that such a reason is unlikely to convince the agent.

Even Yin Kong, as an observer, couldn't help but feel that Yoko Okino's ideas were a bit too naive, and she didn't seem like someone who had made her way up from the entertainment industry.

"So, Mr. Yin Kong, could I ask you to help me persuade Mr. Yamagishi?" Yoko Okino looked at Yin Kong earnestly. "Of course, I will also compensate you extra for the reward."

However, faced with the request from this popular idol, Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, but we at Rabbit House are afraid we can't handle this case. You'd better find someone else."

"Huh?" Yoko Okino was taken aback, her expression dejected. "Why? Do you also think my idea is wrong?"

Seeing Yoko Okino suddenly become dejected, Yin Kong was also slightly surprised.

Because in his long-held impression, this popular idol shouldn't be someone who would easily lack self-confidence.

Is this yet another discrepancy between the story and reality?

Thinking this, Yin Kong said:

"That's not the case, because no matter how you handle it, it's just your choice. And choices are often neither right nor wrong... The real key lies with you, Ms. Yoko."

"Myself?"

"I think no one, and no one should, be able to make this decision for you."

As long as you've thought it through carefully rather than acting on impulse, and you're mentally prepared to accept it, then I don't think it's wrong in any way.

Daily quest "Stalker" completed:

【原石×10、冒险阅历×225、摩拉×3125、好感度经验×35、精锻用良矿×1、精锻用魔矿×2】。

Yin Kong was taken aback when he heard the system notification, but he quickly realized what was happening.

This means that the agent, Sakae Yamagishi, has found conclusive evidence and completely locked down Yuko Ikezawa as a suspect.

His mission accomplished.

Just as Yin Kong felt it was time to say goodbye and leave, he noticed that Yoko Okino had already covered her chest with a complicated expression and fallen silent.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to have been deeply moved by the few words just spoken and had fallen into deep thought.

Several minutes later, the idol finally felt the strange, overwhelming feeling that had suddenly welled up inside her gradually fade away.

However, even though she had figured things out, nothing would change, so she bowed deeply to Yin Kong.

"I understand. Thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Yin Kong. I was indeed too impulsive just now."

When this popular idol raised her head again, her gaze was incredibly firm:

"But I've already thought it over. Even if I lose this opportunity to become famous, I hope to have a good talk with Ms. Yuko, so please help me."

Daily Task: [The Troubles of a Popular Idol].

Seeing the familiar exclamation mark appearing above Yoko Okino's head, Yin Kong was speechless for a moment.

When did his persuasive skills become so profound?

Or perhaps Ms. Yoko was actually in a state of confusion, and his advice was simply a matter of chance?

Or perhaps there are other factors he is unaware of?

But in any case, this idol lady in front of us is clearly a very high-quality resource.

Moreover, Yin Kong could not ignore such a raw stone that was delivered right to his lips:

"Since Ms. Yoko has put it this way, I will accept this commission."

"Many thanks!"

Yoko Okino's tone immediately relaxed, as if she could definitely persuade her manager if Yoon Kong agreed.

"By the way, are you interested in Dorobiga Amusement Park? If you don't mind, I can be your guide. After all, I'm a lifetime VIP at that park, so all the rides are free, especially the haunted house, which is incredibly realistic and definitely worth every penny..."

Hearing Yoko Okino's enthusiastic recommendation, Yin Kong's expression was subtle:

"No, no, no, let's skip haunted houses and the like."

Yoko Okino was stunned and asked in surprise:

"Mr. Yin Kong, don't you like haunted houses?"

"As you can see, I am a very timid person, especially afraid of ghosts and monsters, so I always keep my distance from any rituals or games related to ghosts and the supernatural."

This was, of course, a lie, but he truly had no intention of stepping into the haunted house.

After all, in that kind of environment, if you accidentally confuse real monsters with amusement park rides, you'll be in big trouble.

"Is that so?"

Yoko Okino looked utterly surprised.

Because she couldn't see at all that Yin Kong acted like he was cowardly and afraid of ghosts, as he claimed.

Moreover, this popular idol has actually seen far too many guys who pretend to be brave in front of her for various reasons.

Even if someone is truly afraid of ghosts, they will try every means to hide it.
