Aoki Yusuke was indeed famous at Kashima Academy. He was the school heartthrob and got along well with everyone.
Fang Cheng had heard the name, but couldn't really remember what he looked like.
Unless someone had a heart of gold, who would look away from a beautiful woman to pay attention to another man?
"I didn't recognize him at first. I only remembered who he was after he said we were classmates. But I had no idea he was with the Countermeasure Department."
"And that's why you think he's suspicious?"
"Exactly. You remember Morishita Yamato, right? Someone once had Morishita Yamato come after me, and hypnotized him, too. Aoki Yusuke is our classmate, he's your lapdog, and he has psychic powers. He's got both motive and means. If it wasn't him, who else could it be—a ghost?"
At this, Fang Cheng turned to Kanzaki Rin. "I'm curious, though. Weren't you investigating this for me? How did you miss such an obvious suspect?"
Kanzaki Rin replied calmly, "That's the problem. Aoki Yusuke might have planted suggestions in all of us, his colleagues, so we'd overlook what his ability was."
Fang Cheng exclaimed, "He's that good? Then he could do whatever he wanted, couldn't he? Like Hypnosis Guidance, Hypnosis Academy, that sort of thing? No wonder he looks so worn out. Looks like he's been grinding an iron rod down into a needle."
Even Kanzaki Rin, who was used to him, couldn't help herself. "You're always looking for an excuse to make dirty jokes. What are you trying to do?"
Fang Cheng answered without hesitation, "I want to!"
Kanzaki Rin gave up.
She took a couple of deep breaths before continuing. "How could he be that powerful? At most, he could gradually mislead people during everyday conversations, making them overlook his ability.
