From the moment he entered the coffee shop, he noticed that both the popular idol and her manager had an exclamation mark above their heads.
Especially Yamagishi Sakae, who, like Kudo Shinichi, has a blue exclamation mark.
What makes this guy so special that he's qualified to trigger a world quest?
In light of this, Yin Kong decided to temporarily ignore the agent's unusual behavior.
As I said before, who knows what incredible things might be unearthed from Genshin Impact's world quests.
Yoko Okino sat somewhat awkwardly opposite Yin Kong and slowly recalled:
"Recently, when I come home, I often find that the furniture has been moved, and I keep receiving secretly taken photos and threatening letters. Oh, and there are also phone calls that don't make a sound..."
At this point, the popular idol's voice began to tremble slightly.
Clearly, this incident has caused her considerable psychological trauma.
"A threatening letter...it doesn't sound like the kind of fanatical, overly enthusiastic fan." Yin Kong feigned a thoughtful expression and asked, "Then, Miss Yoko, do you recall offending anyone recently?"
Yamagishi Sakae almost instinctively said:
"No! Yoko has always been kind, optimistic, and compassionate. How could she possibly have made enemies?"
Yin Kong chuckled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Even in the world of science fiction, he didn't believe that a woman who could make it in the entertainment industry could really be the kind of innocent, naive woman.
As for never having offended anyone, that's even more of a fantasy.
Yoko Okino naturally realized this as well. After a slight hesitation, she said tentatively:
"If I had to say, I did recently land a fairly important role, but it was just normal, fair competition, nothing to warrant such resentment..."
Yin Kong nodded slightly:
"Then I'll make a note of it for now. By the way, may I take a look at those photos and threatening letters that were sent?"
"of course can."
At Yoko Okino's prompting, Sakae Yamagishi immediately reached into his bag and took out some photos and letters.
However, watching the agent's casual movements, Yin Kong unconsciously raised an eyebrow:
"It seems you two have already checked, and there are no fingerprints or other clues left on these photos and letters?"
Yamagishi Sakae's movements immediately froze.
Noticing his reaction, Yin Kong was also somewhat surprised, and asked in a surprised tone:
"Isn't there any?"
"Uh... this... that..."
Yamagishi Sakae realized he had done something incredibly stupid and stammered, unable to answer.
Finally, Yoko Okino said with a frustrated look:
"It's all my fault. This is the first time I've encountered something like this, and I didn't even think to preserve any evidence. I'm so sorry!"
"You don't need to apologize."
Seeing the idol's demeanor, Yin Kong shook his head, put on gloves, and began examining the photos and letters, offering words of comfort:
"However, since these threatening letters are written in Chinese characters cut from newspapers, the other party is quite cautious and it is unlikely that they would leave any clues such as fingerprints."
"Really? That's good then."
Hearing Yin Kong say this, Yamagishi Sakae also breathed a sigh of relief.
Is that all?
“Yes, the photos and threatening letters are here.” Hearing Yin Kong’s question, Yoko Okino nodded first, then asked hopefully, “Have you found any clues?”
Yin Kong nodded and said:
"Well, these photos are all too ordinary. Isn't there anything more sensational?"
Yoko Okino was taken aback. Even though she was usually good at dealing with all kinds of people, she couldn't find a suitable answer for a moment, and the smile on her face became somewhat forced.
Yamagishi Sakae coughed and said seriously:
"Mr. Yin Kong, please be serious and don't make jokes like that."
“No, I think you two have misunderstood. I’m not joking.” Yin Kong shook his head and asked seriously, “What I mean is, do you really feel that these photos are very offensive, especially compared to these threatening letters?”
Yin Kong gently tapped the photos on the table with his finger; most of them only showed a blurry silhouette of Yoko Okino.
If you weren't very familiar with him, you probably wouldn't recognize him as today's popular idol.
As for the remaining photos, he considered them completely insignificant, the kind that even tabloids wouldn't want to buy.
In contrast, these threatening letters were extremely harsh, filled with vicious curses and blatantly expressing the sender's malice.
"If I remember correctly, Ms. Yoko just said that the furniture in your house is frequently moved around, which is enough to show that the other party has already figured out how to sneak into your house."
Please think about this carefully: if a stalker truly hated you as much as these threatening letters suggest, would they choose to only take these harmless photos?
Yoko Okino and Sakae Yamagishi were both stunned; they had already understood what Yin Kong meant.
Yoko Okino, in particular, unconsciously clenched her hands together, instantly realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Chapter 12 A Cataclysmic Change
There are simply too many ways to ruin a popular idol.
Yoko Okino was well aware of this.
She remained silent for a long time, her face pale, before finally taking a deep breath and managing to pull herself out of her fear. She nodded and said:
"The photos I received are all here; there's nothing hidden."
Yin Kong pondered for a moment and said:
"Is that so? That's a bit strange."
Yamagishi Eiya couldn't help but press further:
"Mr. Yin Kong, what do you think could be the reason?"
Yin Kong shook his head and said:
"There are too few clues, and I can't guess what's going on. Perhaps the other side also has some concerns that we don't know about?"
But before Yamagishi could finish catching his breath, Yin Kong added:
"Of course, it's also possible that the other party already has enough deadly photos, but just wants to enjoy the thrill of toying with their prey a little longer."
The agent's expression immediately darkened again.
Yin Kong gestured for the other party to put away the evidence, and said:
"However, I need to go to the site to investigate the specifics before I can make a more accurate judgment."
"Of course, of course, this way please."
Yamagishi Sakae's attitude had undergone a complete change, and he hurriedly ran to get his car.
So, he does know something, doesn't he?
Watching the agent's hurried departure, Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully.
"Didn't Mr. Yin Kong drive here?"
Yoko Okino looked surprised to find that Yin Kong was waiting for the bus with her.
After all, whether it's a detective or a Yorozuya (a business for those who do all sorts of things), they obviously have to be out and about every day, and not having a car would inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience.
Yin Kong shook his head and said helplessly:
"Unfortunately, I suffer from severe intermittent motion sickness, and in order not to harm myself or others, I have to give up driving."
This is, of course, a lie.
The real reason Yin Kong didn't drive was, of course, because in his eyes, the streets were full of inhuman monsters.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly accurately distinguish between a monster and a passerby?
"If that's how it is, then it's such a pity."
If Yin Kong had said that from the beginning, then Yoko Okino and Sakae Yamagishi would definitely have thought that "The Rabbit House" was very unreliable.
But now that they have acknowledged Yin Kong's abilities, they only hope that he can fly to Yoko's residence immediately to conduct an investigation, so they naturally won't care about this small flaw.
As they were talking, Yamagishi Sakae had already driven his car over.
However, just as the idol was politely inviting Yin Kong into the car, she noticed that his expression suddenly froze:
"Mr. Yin Kong, what's wrong?"
"Did you see that?"
"You can see it?"
"Did you see that?"
Of course, it's because the car was already "full".
Lv.28 [Man-eating Flower].
A gigantic monster resembling a man-eating plant almost occupied the entire seat. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing rings of sharp teeth that slowly rotated like saws, and a disgusting tongue covered in slime.
Yin Kong shook his head expressionlessly and gritted his teeth, saying:
"I'm sorry, I think my motion sickness is acting up."
Yoko Okino was taken aback and noticed that Yin Kong's expression had indeed turned very ugly:
"Is there anything I can do for you? Oh, right, there seem to be some motion sickness medication in the car. I'll ask Yamagishi..."
"No need, medicine won't help my illness. I just need to rest for a while."
Under Yoko Okino's questioning gaze, Yin Kong took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
He walked into the car expressionlessly, trying not to imagine himself as a snack that willingly jumped into the monster's mouth. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Even so, the incessant chatter still lingered in my ears:
"You must have seen it!"
You can see it!
Is it that serious?
Looking at Yin Kong, who was motionless and seemed to have become a corpse, Yoko Okino couldn't help but show a look of sympathy.
She wanted to do something, but found herself unable to do anything, so she quickly got into the car and said to her agent:
"Yamagishi, try to drive as fast as you can."
"Yes, Miss Yoko."
In fact, without any prompting, this agent couldn't wait to get back to his apartment.
Fortunately, the apartment of the popular idol is not far from here.
About twenty minutes later, Yin Kong felt someone gently patting his shoulder.
"Mr. Yin Kong, we have arrived."
He opened his eyes and saw the worried face of the popular idol.
Seeing that Yin Kong finally reacted, Yoko Okino seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:
"That's great, I called you many times but you didn't respond..."
"I'm sorry to have worried you. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yin Kong jumped out of the car almost impatiently. Just now, all he could hear were the monster's questions about death, so he naturally couldn't have noticed Yoko Okino's voice.
Only after escaping the gaping maw of the giant man-eating flower did Yin Kong's complexion gradually return to normal.
Yoko Okino, however, looked guilty and bowed, saying:
"No, it was my oversight that led to this. I will compensate you for your losses."
"This is really good news."
