From the moment he walked into the coffee shop, he had already noticed that both the popular idol and her manager had exclamation marks above their heads.

Especially Yamagishi Ei, who, like Kudo Shinichi, had a blue exclamation mark.

What qualifications did this guy have to trigger a World Quest?

Given this, Yin Kong decided to temporarily ignore the manager's abnormality.

As the saying goes, with Genshin Impact's World Quests, who knows what kind of formidable existence might be triggered.

Ono Yoko sat opposite Yin Kong, a little nervously, and slowly recalled, "Recently, after I get home, I often find that the positions of the furniture in my house have changed. I've also been receiving secretly taken photos and threatening letters, oh, and phone calls without any sound..."

As she spoke, the popular idol's voice began to tremble slightly.

Clearly, this matter had already caused her quite a bit of psychological trauma.

"Threatening letters, sounds like it's not an overly zealous fan," Yin Kong put on a thoughtful expression and asked, "So, Miss Yoko, do you remember offending anyone recently?"

Yamagishi Ei said almost subconsciously:

"No! Yoko has always been kind, optimistic, and good-natured. How could she possibly make an enemy of anyone?"

Yin Kong chuckled, offering no comment.

Even in the Detective Conan World, he didn't believe a woman who could make it in the entertainment industry was truly that naive and innocent.

As for never having offended anyone, that was even more far-fetched.

Ono Yoko naturally realized this as well. She hesitated slightly before saying hesitantly, "If I have to say, I did get a rather important role recently, but it should have been a normal, fair competition. It shouldn't be enough to be hated to this extent..."

Yin Kong nodded slightly:

"Then let's tentatively note that down. By the way, can I see the photos and threatening letters you received?"

"Of course."

At Ono Yoko's signal, Yamagishi Ei immediately reached into his bag and took out some photos and letters.

However, watching the manager's casual movements, Yin Kong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

"It seems you two have already checked these photos and letters for clues like fingerprints?"

Yamagishi Ei froze instantly.

Yin Kong, noticing his reaction, was also somewhat surprised, and asked with a tone of disbelief:

"There weren't any?"

"Uh... this... that..."

Yamagishi Ei realized he might have done something foolish and stammered, not daring to answer.

Finally, it was Ono Yoko who said with a look of regret:

"It's all my fault. It was the first time I encountered something like this, and I didn't think about preserving evidence at all. I'm extremely sorry!"

"You don't need to apologize."

Seeing the idol's demeanor, Yin Kong shook his head and put on gloves to examine the photos and letters, comforting her:

"However, since these threatening letters use block letters cut from newspapers, the sender is quite cautious. It's unlikely they would have left fingerprints or similar clues."

"Really? That's a relief."

Hearing Yin Kong say this, Yamagishi Ei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, the photos and threatening letters are all here." Hearing Yin Kong's question, Ono Yoko first nodded, then asked with hope in her voice, "Did you find any clues?"

Yin Kong nodded:

"How should I put it, these photos are too ordinary. Is there no more explosive content?"

Ono Yoko was stunned. Even though she was usually good at dealing with all sorts of people, she couldn't find a suitable answer for a moment, and the smile on her face became a little strained.

Yamagishi Ei coughed and said seriously:

"Mr. Yin Kong, please be serious and don't make such jokes."

"No, I think you two have misunderstood. I'm not joking." Yin Kong shook his head and asked with a serious expression, "I mean, do you really feel these photos are very aggressive, especially compared to these threatening letters?"

Yin Kong's fingers lightly tapped the photos laid out on the table. Most of them were just blurry shots of Ono Yoko's back.

If someone wasn't very familiar with her, they probably wouldn't recognize her as the current popular idol.

As for the remaining photos, in his opinion, they were completely harmless, the kind that wouldn't even be accepted by tabloid newspapers.

In contrast, the wording in these threatening letters was very intense, full of incredibly vicious curses, unreservedly venting the sender's malice.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Yoko just said that the furniture in her house often changes position, which is enough to show that the other party has already found a way to sneak into your house.

Please think carefully, if the stalker truly hated you as much as these threatening letters suggest, would they choose to only take these harmless photos?"

Ono Yoko and Yamagishi Ei were both stunned. They understood what Yin Kong meant.

Especially for Ono Yoko, her hands unconsciously tightened together, and she instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Chapter 12: Cataclysmic Change

There are too many ways to ruin a popular idol.

Ono Yoko knew this better than anyone.

Her face turned pale as she remained silent for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath, barely managing to pull herself out of her fear, and nodded.

"The photos I received are all here, I haven't hidden anything."

Yin Kong pondered.

"Is that so? That's a bit strange."

Yamagishi Ei couldn't help but press further.

"Mr. Yin Kong, what do you think could be the reason?"

Yin Kong shook his head.

"There are too few clues, I can't guess. Perhaps the other party has some concerns we don't know about?"

However, before Yamagishi Ei could relax, Yin Kong added.

"Of course, it's also possible that the other party already has enough damning photos and just wants to savor the thrill of toying with their prey."

The agent's expression immediately turned grim again.

Yin Kong gestured for him to put away the evidence and said.

"However, I'll need to investigate the scene to make a more accurate judgment."

"Of course, of course, please, this way."

Yamagishi Ei's attitude had changed drastically. He quickly ran to get the car.

Indeed, does he know something?

Looking at the agent's hurried departure, Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. Yin Kong, you didn't drive here?"

Ono Yoko looked surprised when she realized Yin Kong was waiting for a car with her.

After all, detectives and odd-job agencies clearly need to be out and about every day, and not having a car would cause many inconveniences.

Yin Kong shook his head helplessly.

"Unfortunately, I suffer from severe [intermittent motion sickness syndrome]. To avoid harming myself and others, I had to give up driving."

This was, of course, a lie.

The real reason Yin Kong didn't drive was that, in his eyes, the streets were filled with non-human monsters.

Under such circumstances, how could he accurately distinguish between monsters and pedestrians?

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

If Yin Kong had said this from the beginning, Ono Yoko and Yamagishi Ei would have found the [Cunning Rabbit House] very unreliable.

But now, they had already recognized Yin Kong's abilities and only hoped he could immediately fly to Yoko's residence to investigate. They naturally wouldn't care about such a small flaw.

As they spoke, Yamagishi Ei had already driven the car over.

However, just as the idol politely invited Yin Kong into the car, she noticed his expression suddenly freeze.

"Mr. Yin Kong, what's wrong?"

"Did you see it?"

"You can see it?"

"You saw it, right?"

Of course, it was because the car was already "full."

Lv.28 [Ogre Flower].

A giant monster resembling a carnivorous plant occupied almost the entire seat. It opened its monstrous maw, revealing circles of saw-like, slowly rotating teeth, and a disgusting, slimy tongue.

Yin Kong shook his head expressionlessly and gritted his teeth.

"I'm very sorry, my motion sickness seems to have acted up."

Ono Yoko blinked, noticing that Yin Kong's face had indeed become very pale.

"Is there anything I can do? Oh, right, there seems to be motion sickness medicine in the car. I'll have Yama—"

"No need. Medicine doesn't help my condition. I just need to rest for a while."

Under Ono Yoko's confused gaze, Yin Kong took a deep breath, as if making a decision.

He walked into the car expressionlessly, trying hard not to imagine himself as a small snack jumping willingly into a monster's mouth. After sitting down, he immediately closed his eyes and remained silent.

Even so, a nagging voice still echoed in his ears.

"You must have seen it!"

"You can see!"

Is it that serious?

Looking at Yin Kong, who was motionless as if he had already turned into a corpse, Ono Yoko couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression.

She wanted to do something, but found that she seemed unable to do anything. She could only quickly get into the car and then say to her agent:

"Yamagishi, drive as fast as you can."

"Yes, Miss Yoko."

In fact, there was no need for any reminder. This agent also wished he could return to the apartment instantly.

Fortunately, the apartment of the popular idol was 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, Ono Yoko seemed relieved:

"That's great, I called you many times just now and you didn't respond..."

"I'm sorry for making you worry. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yin Kong practically jumped out of the car impatiently. Just now, his ears were filled with the death questions of monsters, so it was naturally impossible for him to notice Ono Yoko's voice.

It wasn't until he escaped from the gaping maw of the giant Ogre Flower that Yin Kong's complexion finally gradually returned to normal.

Ono Yoko, however, looked guilty and bowed:

"No, it was my lack of consideration. I will compensate you for your losses."

"That's really good news."
