"Mr. Yin Kong, aren't you a professional in this field?"
She had always believed that the Cunning Rabbit House was actually such a mysterious organization, and that the Omnipotent Agency was just a cover.
A young Onmyoji of unknown origin, commanding strange white floating spirit companions, exorcises evil spirits—isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?
Yin Kong shook his head and said:
"Unfortunately, I am just like you, completely unaware of the origins of these monsters. I only know that they roam various places and drool over human flesh and blood."
Yoko Okino was somewhat disappointed, but quickly asked:
"So what should we do now, call the police?"
Yin Kong directly rejected it:
"Of course not. What if there isn't any official organization? How would we explain everything that happened in your apartment?"
Paimon agreed:
"Yes, we'll be treated like lunatics."
Moreover, it would be quite bad if I were mistaken for the murderer.
Yin Kong hadn't forgotten that, strictly speaking, he was actually an unregistered resident without an identity.
He glanced at the mission prompt and said:
"Let's prepare our alibis first."
Alibi?
Before Yoko Okino could finish her explanation, she heard Yin Kong say:
“We were hardly seen by anyone else along the way, except for Mr. Yamagishi who went to the apartment’s security room. So, as long as we are seen by someone unintentionally now, we can at least clear our name and not be suspected by the police as the murderer.”
Paimon suddenly realized:
"Oh, I see! If there really are professionals in the police force, then even in this situation, they will continue to investigate, right?"
Yoko Okino nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite:
"Then what should I do? Should I go out with Mr. Yin Kong now?"
“Not bad.” Yin Kong nodded slightly, looking at Yoko Okino’s current attire. “However, Miss Yoko, you should dress up a little more and wear a pair of sunglasses.”
Yoko Okino asked in confusion:
"Why are you wearing sunglasses? Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
Before Yin Kong could explain, Paimon wagged his finger smugly:
"I know, I know, because we need to be discovered unintentionally. If we don't do any disguise, it will seem a bit deliberate."
"As expected of you, you're getting more and more criminally minded."
Chapter 22 System Divine Power
"This is it."
Yin Kong quickly left the apartment with the disguised Yoko Okino and headed to the corner of a parking lot exit on the next street.
"Mr. Yin Kong, are we just going to stand here like this?"
Yoko Okino naturally couldn't see the mission instructions. Seeing that Yin Kong just left her standing there waiting without taking any further action, she couldn't help but feel strange.
"That's right. As for the reason, Miss Yoko should find out soon."
Yin Kong didn't actually know what was special about this place, but based on his experience, the task guidance given by the system might not be the optimal solution, but it was often the safest.
The two didn't have to wait long before Yin Kong heard a series of hurried footsteps.
With his reaction speed, he could naturally pull Yoko Okino away in advance.
But Yin Kong didn't do that, because he was very familiar with the mission's style and knew very well that this might be the "opportunity" that the two of them were waiting for.
Sure enough, the owner of the hurried footsteps soon collided with Yoko Okino, who was unable to dodge in time, causing them to fall flat on their faces.
"It hurts..."
The woman Yin Kong was waiting to ambush was a beautiful young woman with black hair.
She was in a hurry, carrying a pile of paper documents in her hands.
Because he tripped and fell on his bottom, these documents were naturally scattered all over the place.
Yin Kong reached out and pulled up Yoko Chongye, who was lying on the ground and seemed completely dazed, and asked meaningfully:
"Miss Yoko, are you alright?"
Yoko Okino finally realized what was happening, and upon seeing Yin Kong's gaze, a look of pain immediately appeared on her face.
Seeing the idol stumble, Yin Kong quickly reached out and supported her.
"Ouch, that hurts! I think I twisted my ankle."
Yin Kong inwardly praised him, thinking that he was indeed a popular idol. Not only was he highly perceptive, but his acting skills were also flawless. Even he could not detect the slightest flaw in the painful voice.
The woman, who had been hurrying along, finally realized what was happening and repeatedly bowed in apology.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
However, as she apologized, she saw the documents scattered all over the floor, and her expression immediately turned to despair:
Oh no, my appointment time is almost here!
"Kuriyama, I told you not to rush." Just then, a mature woman wearing glasses, looking shrewd and capable, walked over quickly in high heels. "After you got out of the car, I received a call from Mrs. Harano. She had something urgent to take care of, so today's appointment was canceled."
"The appointment was cancelled? Phew—that's great. I would have been so ashamed if Attorney Fei had been late because of me."
The young woman called Kuriyama looked relieved and quickly looked back at Yoko and Yoko Okino.
Before she could speak, Yoko Okino's phone rang.
Yoko Okino, who had just taken out her phone, unconsciously looked at Yin Kong.
This is an unfamiliar number; if nothing unexpected happens, it's very likely the police.
And that was indeed the case. After the call was connected, the other party quickly introduced himself as a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
The other party informed Yoko Okino that a suspected murder had occurred in her apartment and asked her to return immediately to assist in the investigation.
After the call ended, the mature woman wearing glasses politely inquired:
"Gentlemen, do you need any help?"
When Yin Kong and Okino Yoko looked over, she immediately introduced herself:
"My name is Eri Kisaki, and I am a lawyer."
It's you.
In fact, when Ms. Kuriyama addressed her as Lawyer Ki, Yoon Kong had already vaguely guessed her identity.
With the surname Fei, being a lawyer, and being so mature and beautiful, the possibility of her admitting her mistake is extremely small.
After receiving the business card from Midori Kuriyama, he was completely certain that this was indeed Ran Mouri's mother, the lawyer known as the "Invincible Queen of the Legal World."
Yin Kong hadn't expected that the mission instructions would lead to this person providing an alibi for them.
But then again, in Yin Kong's impression, criminals who ask the main characters to give false testimony usually don't have a good ending, right?
Of course, strictly speaking, they weren't really criminals, were they?
Yin Kong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust the system's power and asked Eri Kisaki to drive them back to the apartment.
"If you can, that would be a great help."
"It was nothing, and it was my assistant who accidentally bumped into you. We are the ones who should apologize."
Of course, while Yoon Kong was observing Eri Ki, the lawyer was also silently sizing them up.
Yin Kong is alright; although he's not the kind of stunningly handsome guy, he has a strange aura that makes people want to trust and rely on him.
At least in Eri's eyes, he was far more pleasing to the eye than her own daughter's flamboyant childhood friend.
But Yoko Okino is different. Her outfit of a big hat and sunglasses makes her hard not to seem suspicious.
Moreover, although she didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls, she had vaguely heard words like "murder case" and "investigation" just now.
As Yin Kong helped Yoko Okino into the car, the popular idol finally found an opportunity and whispered in his ear:
"Actually, I really did sprain my ankle."
Yin Kong suddenly realized, "As expected of the mission guide, was this also part of your calculations?"
"I'm sorry, please bear with me a little longer."
"No need to apologize."
Yoko Okino is not such a delicate person; she said this only because she was worried that Yin Kong would make the wrong judgment.
After fastening her seatbelt, Eri Kisaki glanced at the two whispering in the rearview mirror and raised an eyebrow, asking:
Are you two a couple?
Yoko Okino paused for a moment, about to deny it, but then hesitated and looked at Yin Kong.
If they weren't a couple, wouldn't their whispering just now seem a bit suspicious?
Yin Kong shook his head and smiled:
"Attorney Fei, you've misunderstood. We're just friends."
Upon hearing this answer, Yoko Okino breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of disappointment inevitably rose in her heart.
"Friends? That's fine too." Eri Kisaki raised an eyebrow and casually said, "Men of this age are masters of sweet talk, so don't let your emotions get the better of you—"
Yoko Okino immediately corrected him with an excited yet earnest expression:
"You've misunderstood. Yin Kong is definitely not that kind of person!"
Seeing this reaction, even Kuriyama Midori, who was driving, understood and felt that even if the two were not a couple yet, they were probably close to being.
Eri Kisaki sighed helplessly, but she was also very clear that under these circumstances, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, the effect would be minimal.
Noticing the sudden awkwardness in the atmosphere, Midori Kuriyama casually turned on the car radio, and pleasant music immediately filled the car.
"Even when the sun sets and darkness falls, it will no longer imprison me, and my life from now on will certainly be like this..."
Yoko Okino was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Yin Kong again.
Even with sunglasses obscuring her face, Yin Kong could still sense the surprise in her eyes.
The reason is simple: at that moment, Kuriyama Midori was playing a song sung by herself.
Was this also part of Yin Kong's plan?
Or is it just a simple coincidence?
If it was deliberately arranged, that would be too incredible, wouldn't it?
Chapter 23 Returning to the Scene
Yoko Okino's eyes were filled with disbelief.
If Yoon Kong could arrange for them to happen to run into Eri Ki, that would be a coincidence, but at least there would be a way to explain it. However, the current situation was something she couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried.
Noticing that Yoko Okino's reaction was somewhat unusual, Midori Kuriyama couldn't help but ask:
"You don't like this song? Then I'll choose another one."
Despite harboring her own worries, Yoko Okino's feelings inevitably became quite complicated:
"No need, but it's not that I dislike it—"
"Wait! That voice?"
Kuriyama Midori was finally stunned.
She had always felt that Yoko Okino's voice sounded familiar, but she never thought much of it.
Only when Yoko Okino's reply rang out along with her singing did she finally realize:
"You must be—Miss Yoko?!"
