"I forgot to introduce you, this is Hiratsuka-sensei." Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly remembered her purpose and quickly explained, "Actually, the reason I came to visit today is to ask Kagome-san something..."

The thing that made Yukino Yukinoshita come all the way here to ask for advice must be quite extraordinary.

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression was somewhat strange, she quickly recounted the whole story.

In short, five students from Zongwu High School have gone missing.

“Starting last week, a second-grade girl has gone missing every Wednesday. As of yesterday, this was the fifth one…”

Upon hearing this, Yin Kong couldn't help but show a strange expression:

"It's been five Wednesdays in a row since last week?"

Is that statement correct?

Do you guys live on Wednesday every day?

Upon hearing Yin Kong's question, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately looked over and asked nervously:

"Mr. Yin Kong, is there something wrong with this time?"

After all, last time, Yin Kong guessed that Kagome Higurashi would probably return in two days just from the time she disappeared.

"No, it's nothing."

Seeing that Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha also looked puzzled, Yin Kong suddenly realized that this was probably another case of Conan's time.

His words, however, aroused the curiosity of Kagome and the others.

Especially Yukino Yukinoshita, it feels like Yin Kong must have discovered some unknown clues.

Unfortunately, since he didn't want to talk about it, their continued questioning would likely yield no results.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze also fell on Yin Kong. In a short moment, she had already determined that among the people at the shrine, Yin Kong's status was clearly the highest.

He simply asked a question, and not only did Kagome and Inuyasha react immediately, but Yukino's reaction was also quite unusual.

Hiratsuka Shizuka knew her student well; apart from when she was facing her mother, she had never seemed to show such a reserved demeanor.

Of course, she didn't forget the main point and continued talking about the case.

Because this was such a long time, the school didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until the third student went missing.

"However, although the school chose to report the incident to the police, it initially did not intend to suspend classes. It only asked the police to investigate secretly. As of the day before yesterday, some girls were still missing..."

You guys really live like it's Wednesday every day.

As Yin Kong shook his head inwardly, Kagome Higurashi suddenly realized:

"So, Miss Yukino is suspecting that someone involved in that kind of thing might be involved?"

Because of Hiratsuka Shizuka's presence, she spoke relatively cryptically.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently and explained:

"Because someone went missing, the school advised everyone not to go out alone. But the student who went missing the day before yesterday was said to be laughing and talking with two friends one second, and then he disappeared the next. It's very strange."

Moreover, after so many students went missing, Zongwu High School finally decided to suspend classes.

"Even so, someone still went missing yesterday. According to her parents, the missing girl stayed at home and chatted with her friends via text message. She didn't go out at all, but she still suddenly disappeared."

After listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's description, Yin Kong nodded slightly.

This situation certainly doesn't seem like something a human could do, no wonder Yukino Yukinoshita suspects the involvement of supernatural forces.

However, she didn't dare go directly to the Rabbit House, but instead came to the Higurashi Shrine for help first.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Yin Kong right there at the shrine.

After she finished speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yin Kong with anticipation:

"Mr. Yin Kong, do you have any leads?"

I'm sorry, no.

This time, the system did not provide any direct clues. Instead, it instructed him to wait 18 hours until 5 a.m. the next morning, until he arrived at the classroom at Soubu High School to trigger the next part of the story.

Clearly, further evidence will be found there.

Of course, he certainly can't say that now:

"Hiratsuka-sensei, what day of the week is tomorrow?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately replied:

No wonder, they probably can only find clues at the school by that time, right?

It seems that no matter what the killer is, whether it's a person or something else, they will only act on Wednesday.

Having guessed this, Yin Kong looked at Kagome Higurashi:

"Kagome, Inuyasha, you two seem somewhat interested?"

Kagome Higurashi scratched her head, looking embarrassed, and said:

"If I can help, I will certainly do my best."

After all, she wasn't the type to remain indifferent to such things.

"However, with Mr. Yin Kong here, there's no need for me, is there?"

Clearly, she was well aware that she was only a half-baked priestess at the moment, with only her eyesight and archery skills worthy of praise.

As for investigating cases, he was simply showing off his limited skills in front of Yin Kong.

"No, I have some things to take care of next." Yin Kong shook his head and asked, "So, could you please investigate with Miss Yukinoshita and the others first?"

"Me, me?"

Kagome Higurashi was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that Yin Kong would entrust this task to her.

Chapter 187 The Weeping Girl

"Me, me?"

Kagome Higurashi is clearly not very confident.

After all, she had only just embarked on her journey to collect the Shikon Jewel, and hadn't even encountered many yokai yet, so naturally she hadn't accumulated enough experience and confidence.

Yin Kong comforted him:

"Don't worry, if you really can't find any clues, just contact me."

Upon hearing this, Kagome Higurashi immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's great, now I can rest assured."

In contrast, Inuyasha was full of fighting spirit:

"Don't say that, Kagome. With me here, a mere disappearance will be a piece of cake."

Kagome's expression shifted slightly:

"That's right, Inuyasha, your nose is so sensitive, maybe you can find a clue."

Yin Kong looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked:

"Miss Yukinoshita, is there anything else?"

After careful consideration, Yukino Yukinoshita asked cautiously:

"Mr. Yin Kong, has my sister stopped bothering you?"

Yukino naturally knew her older sister very well.

Her drive is so strong, it's almost a headache.

Given her personality, it's not like she wouldn't do something like running to the rabbit's house to "make friends."

Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"No, I think it's probably Mr. Karasuma who interests her more."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems that recent business collaborations have indeed taken up her energy."

She was really worried about this, but she never dared to offer any advice or ask any more questions.

Given Haruno's personality, there might not have been any problems originally, but if she specifically asks or tries to persuade her, it might pique Haruno's interest and cause a lot of trouble out of nowhere.

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow slightly and asked:

"A collaboration with the Karasuma Group?"

Yukino Yukinoshita said self-deprecatingly:

"How could that be? The Yukinoshita family doesn't have that kind of status. It's just that Mr. Karasuma Akimitsu's father invited us to jointly develop a piece of land..."

As for the specific plans, the girl wasn't quite sure.

However, judging from the parents' busy and excited demeanor, one could roughly sense the importance of this project.

Of course, for the Yukinoshita family, just being able to become a business partner of the Karasuma family is already a huge win.

Whether or not it makes money is really no longer important.

"Is that so?"

Noticing the change in Yin Kong's expression, Yukino Yukinoshita felt uneasy and asked:

"Mr. Yin Kong, do you think there's a problem with this collaboration?"

"Of course not."

Yin Kong immediately shook his head.

Let alone the fact that he knows almost nothing about business, even if he were an expert in it, he probably wouldn't be able to deduce any useful information from just a few simple sentences describing the snow.

"Miss Yukinoshita, please just consider this as me having a slight personal bias against the surname Karasuma."

Although Karasuma Akimitsu showed no sign of suspicion, he just felt that the other party might have a problem.

Yukino Yukinoshita naturally couldn't understand such an abstract description, and immediately asked:

"Mr. Yin Kong, could you elaborate?"

"Sorry, can not."

Yin Kong's answer was, of course, very straightforward.

Perhaps realizing that what he said was indeed a bit heartless, Yin Kong quickly added:

"However, if you discover anything unusual about the Karasuma family or this business partnership, you can ask me for help at the Sly Rabbit House."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes immediately changed.

In her memory, Yin Kong had always been disapproving of, and even opposed, ordinary people like her coming into contact with mysterious powers.

Of course, the girl now already knew the reason from Kagome Higurashi's words—

Those twisted monsters that roam the city, everywhere.

Then, the girl understood Yin Kong's advice.

Although she can't see those monsters now, she knows that she may have passed through their terrifying bodies without knowing anything about them.

Even more extreme cases involve unknown creatures constantly watching you while you're eating, playing ball, showering, or sleeping.

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

While Yukino Yukinoshita is not in mortal danger in her current state, it is probably not much easier than witnessing those demons firsthand and enduring their constant torture.

Rather than living in a terrifying fantasy after learning the truth, it's better to live an ordinary, unaware life.

But now, contrary to his usual behavior, Yin Kong is suggesting that she seek help from the Rabbit House?

Given the girl's intelligence, she immediately realized that Yin Kong's "prejudice" against "Wuhuan" must have a reason.

Moreover, it should be a very important reason.

Unfortunately, before she could ask any more questions, Yin Kong left decisively, leaving the girl with only a dashing back view.

Yukinoshita Yukino:......

If a girl often watches movies and TV shows, she'll know that this kind of person who likes to say only half the story and hide the other half is usually affectionately called a riddle person.
