Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

She had never met an adult male who admitted it so frankly before, like Yin Kong.

"Mr. Yin Kong, that's wonderful!"

However, just as Ono Yoko was still contemplating how to salvage the awkward atmosphere, her manager, Yamagishi Ei, returned with an excited expression.

He was beaming, looking as if he couldn't resist dancing on the spot:

"I asked the security center, and two guards said they had seen someone who looked a lot like Ikezawa Yuko enter the apartment building more than once."

With this, even without direct evidence, the identity of the stalker was no longer in doubt.

But compared to her excited manager, Ono Yoko wasn't as thrilled; in fact, she felt a bit disappointed.

"So it really was Yuko?"

Yamagishi Ei didn't notice Ono Yoko's low spirits and exclaimed excitedly, "Yoko, I'll contact the reporters and lawyers right now. With a little maneuvering, this case will definitely become everyone's focus. Oh, and Mr. Yin Kong, your agency will surely become famous and prosperous..."

As expected, Ono Yoko knew her manager all too well and had completely predicted his thoughts.

"Wait, Yamagishi, I don't think things have reached that point yet."

Ono Yoko suddenly spoke up, interrupting her manager, and revealed her true thoughts.

"No, absolutely not!" But her suggestion was, as expected, met with strong opposition. "Yoko, doing that will absolutely alert Ikezawa Yuko. If she's prepared in advance, the effect won't be as perfect..."

"But--"

"There's no 'but,' Yoko. You're just too kind. Ikezawa Yuko threatened you like that, and you're still thinking about her? With such a weak mindset, you won't survive in this industry..."

Facing Ono Yoko's pleading gaze, Yin Kong cleared his throat.

"Mr. Yamagishi, would you like to hear the opinion of a professional like myself?"

Yamagishi Ei was taken aback, then said respectfully:

"Please enlighten me."

Yin Kong slowly stated:

"I think you might only be seeing the profit and overlooking a small risk."

Chapter 16: Chris Winyard

"I think you might only be seeing the profit and overlooking a small risk."

Yamagishi Ei looked utterly confused. "What risk? Yoko shouldn't have any fault in this case, right?"

Yin Kong shook his head. "No, I'm not referring to commercial or public opinion risks, but personal safety ones."

Yamagishi Ei was stunned, his expression growing more bewildered. "Personal safety? I'm sorry, I still don't understand what you mean."

Yin Kong countered, "Mr. Yamagishi, what kind of person do you think Miss Ikezawa Yuko is?"

Yamagishi Ei clearly hadn't expected Yin Kong to ask such a question, but after a moment's thought, he replied, "Didn't you just say? Vain and jealous."

Yin Kong nodded slightly and said leisurely, "Indeed. But I think besides that, she's probably not very smart and is very impulsive. After all, what normal artist would go this far out of pure jealousy?"

Yamagishi Ei wholeheartedly agreed. He was, after all, a rather experienced manager, but he had never encountered a similar situation.

"But what does that signify?"

Yin Kong smiled helplessly, finally getting to the point. "So, Mr. Yamagishi, have you considered what someone like that might do if pushed into a corner?"

The question was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, extinguishing more than half of the manager's excitement.

In fact, it wasn't just him; even Ono Yoko, who had intended to handle the situation gently, felt a chill run down her spine at that moment.

Yin Kong continued his analysis, "Even if we find evidence sufficient to prove Miss Ikezawa Yuko's guilt, she hasn't caused substantial harm to Miss Yoko yet. The most likely outcome would be a fine. Even if she has to go to jail, it won't be for too long. Of course, no matter what, her idol career would be completely ruined."

Yin Kong wasn't just being alarmist. Even a normal person might choose to grab a knife and stab Ono Yoko in such a situation. Not to mention, this was Beika Town, a place known for its simple folk and outstanding people.

"Mr. Yamagishi, I've always believed that if there's no necessity to grasp something, it's best to avoid letting things develop to a point of no return. What do you think?"

Yamagishi Ei, drenched in sweat, was stunned for a long time before bowing and saying, "You are right to admonish me. I was inconsiderate."

[Primogem ×10, Adventure EXP ×225, Mora ×3425, Affection EXP ×35, Fine Enhancement Ore ×2, Mystic Enhancement Ore ×1].

Yin Kong nodded in satisfaction.

Solving it with just a few words, this could probably be considered one of the easiest tasks he'd encountered.

Miss Ono Yoko is indeed a treasure worth cherishing.

As he mused, Ono Yoko immediately contacted Ikezawa Yuko by phone.

Suddenly receiving a call from Ono Yoko, Ikezawa Yuko's state of mind could be imagined.

Of course, the more guilty she felt, the more aggressive her tone became.

But when Ono Yoko stated that she had found evidence, Yuko completely panicked.

After they agreed on a meeting place, Yin Kong naturally said, "Since my commission is complete, it's time for us to part ways."

"Please wait! Mr. Yin Kong."

Daily Quest: [Turn Enemies into Friends].

Looking at the exclamation mark floating above the popular idol's head once more, Yin Kong's biggest feeling at the moment was:

Miss Yoko, are you interested in working at the Cunning Rabbit House?

If he really had such an employee, he felt he wouldn't need to leave the house anymore; he could complete several daily quests without stepping outside.

At Miss Ono Yoko's earnest invitation, Yin Kong finally went with the two of them to her apartment to wait.

Fortunately, the situation he worried about most – a corpse lying in the living room the moment the door opened – did not occur.

It seems I'm still relatively normal, not developing some strange physique where people die wherever I go.

Yin Kong walked onto the apartment's balcony and called Paimon again, finding that the little guy's emotions had completely stabilized.

Human adaptability is truly extraordinary.

It hadn't been long, yet both Yin Kong and Paimon had basically adapted to the earth-shattering battle raging outside.

After all, no matter how grand the commotion, as long as they didn't suddenly pose a death-defying question to him like ordinary monsters, the threat was minimal, even almost zero.

Not only that, but they had actually helped him clear out many demons and monsters that had been roaming the city.

Like the man-eating flower that had occupied Ono Yoko's car; it was shattered by the aftermath of the battle about five minutes ago. Truly cause for celebration.

If possible, Yin Kong even wished the battle between these two behemoths could last longer.

It would be even better if all the monsters in this city could be cleared out in one go.

Soon, Ono Yoko came over with freshly brewed tea, smiling, "Mr. Yin Kong, please enjoy."

Noticing that Yin Kong had been standing on the balcony gazing into the distance almost the entire time since entering, Ono Yoko asked curiously, "Does Mr. Yin Kong like looking at scenery?"

"I wouldn't say I like it, but I do occasionally see things that interest me."

Miss Yoko seemed very interested in the odd-job agency's work and stayed on the balcony, enthusiastically asking about the commissions Yin Kong had accepted and his hobbies.

Of course, she also spoke about many of her own work and life troubles, allowing Yin Kong to gain a better understanding of an idol's life.

In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Ikezawa Yuko soon arrived.

However, she couldn't not be unhappy.

It was just a bit surprising to Yin Kong that Ikezawa Yuko was accompanied by a hot, blonde woman wearing sunglasses.

Is she her agent?

Chris Winyard.

The moment he saw the name floating above her head, Yin Kong's relaxed mood vanished completely.

After all, others might not know, but how could he not be aware that this famous international movie star was one of the formal members of the villainous Black Organization, codenamed Vermouth?

But the question was, why was Vermouth here?

Yin Kong frowned inwardly. As a member of the Syndicate or as an international movie star, she had almost no reason to be here.

"Speak, Miss Ono Yoko, the busy bee. What did you call me away from my busy party for?"

Was it some kind of celebrity gathering?

"Yuko, let's talk properly."

"Talk properly? Is there anything for us to talk about?"

Amidst their tense conversation, Chris acted as if she were completely uninvited, unceremoniously sitting down next to Yin Kong.

She lit a cigarette for herself, watching Ono Yoko and Ikezawa Yuko engage in a heated discussion with great interest, as if enjoying a captivating film.

"Want one?"

Yin Kong didn't understand what Vermouth was trying to do, but he still waved his hand, politely refusing, "Thank you, no need."

"No need for what? Mr. Yin Kong, were you talking to me?" Hearing his words, Ono Yoko immediately looked over, confused, "No need for what?"

Not only Ono Yoko, but Ikezawa Yuko and Yamagishi Ei also wore strange expressions.

Yin Kong was startled and suddenly thought of something, looking in horror at "Chris Winyard" sitting next to him.

The great star had now removed her sunglasses, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face.

However, on this beautiful and enchanting face, there was only the surprise of finding prey:

"As expected, you can see me!"

Chapter 17: Escaping Death

"As expected, you can see me!"

Hearing these familiar words, Yin Kong immediately understood that he had been careless.

Although the mark floating above the target's head was very convenient, it wasn't 100% reliable.

It was like a certain Pyro Abyss Herald who called herself Yuan Shang, who looked no different from an ordinary NPC before revealing her true form.

More importantly, he should have realized long ago that these demons and monsters couldn't all be beasts without intelligence, acting solely on instinct.

"We met by fate, why don't we talk first?"

Yin Kong flashed a friendly smile, attempting to use [Persuade] on Miss "Chris," whose true form was unknown.
