According to Jiang Xia's previous investigation, the flashy sports car in the surveillance footage belonged to Stalker No. 1.
Stalker No. 1 was currently heading to Kinoshita Yoko's house.
So, after preparing his tools, Jiang Xia also got on his motorcycle, ready to head to Kinoshita Yoko's apartment.
As he twisted the throttle and sped out of the yard, Jiang Xia saw Agasa approaching his house, holding a strange-looking device.
Agasa heard the roar of the motorcycle, looked up, and saw Jiang Xia. He happily waved at him, wanting to invite Jiang Xia to try out his new invention.
Jiang Xia quickly calculated the time, hesitating for 0.1 seconds between “stopping the car to hear what the old man had to say” and “ignoring him and continuing.” He decisively chose the latter.
Agasa’s inventions were always peculiar; out of a hundred, eighty-eight would explode or short-circuit…
Although most of the time, Jiang Xia would choose to put on protective gear to see Agasa’s inventions, because occasionally he could pick up a few useful ones… but today he was in a hurry.
He was very busy.
He did not want to be blown up.
Jiang Xia twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle rumbled past Agasa mercilessly.
Agasa was enveloped in exhaust fumes. He waved his hand, coughed twice, and sighed regretfully as he watched Jiang Xia’s rapidly disappearing back. He felt like Boya rushing to Zhong Ziqi’s house with his guqin, only to see Zhong Ziqi fleeing on horseback overnight.
Agasa: “…That’s not right, Jiang Xia isn’t like that.”
If it happened this way, it should simply be that he did not see him.
After all, Jiang Xia was wearing a helmet, which affected his vision…
Agasa consoled himself, and he felt much better.
He patted the new invention in his hand and decided to forget it for today; he would show it to Jiang Xia tomorrow.
He hoped it would not be broken by then.
Agasa returned the way he came, holding the machine.
Just as he reached his doorstep, he suddenly noticed his other neighbor, Kudo Shinichi, also returning home, with a happy expression on his face.
Agasa’s eyes lit up, and he greeted him, saying, “What good news did you encounter? Come to my house to see my new invention, and we can chat while you look?”
Kudo Shinichi awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and answered the first part: “What good news… It’s just that I lost a bet with Ran before, so this weekend, I have to treat her to Tropical Land.”
Then his expression changed, and he coldly and decisively rejected Agasa’s latter invitation: “No.”
Clearly, he also knew that Agasa’s inventions had quite a few safety hazards.
“…” Agasa sighed deeply. Oh, what a mischievous child.
Jiang Xia was still more considerate of elders; besides his poor eyesight, he had no other flaws.
Agasa, unable to get a sense of validation, returned home very lonely, holding his new invention.
Jiang Xia’s house was closer to Kinoshita Yoko’s house.
He quickly arrived at the apartment building where Kinoshita Yoko lived, parked his motorcycle, and looked up at the building.
At this time, Stalker No. 1’s car was still on the way.
Jiang Xia had seen Kinoshita Yoko’s schedule and knew that she had a live broadcast this afternoon and would not be home too early.
The apartment building where Kinoshita Yoko lived had over thirty floors, and the entrance unit door was locked.
Jiang Xia had learned lockpicking, but currently, he had not found an energy source sufficient to repair his wrist, so his hand was not steady enough to achieve the level of simply sweeping his hand and having the lock click open… Lockpicking was inefficient and easily led to being caught halfway.
However, even without lockpicking, this matter was easy to solve.
Jiang Xia briefly lingered nearby.
When another resident returned to the apartment, Jiang Xia followed that person into the building—if asked, he planned to pretend he had forgotten his unit door key.
As the unit door closed, the innocent auntie Jiang Xia was following ahead noticed something was wrong and turned her head vigilantly.
Seeing who was behind her, her expression softened slightly.
When entering the elevator, she also conveniently pressed the open button for Jiang Xia and nodded at him with a smile.
Kinoshita Yoko’s home was on the 25th floor.
To be safe, Jiang Xia exited the elevator on the 27th floor and went down to the 25th floor via the fire escape.
After confirming that there was no one in the 25th-floor hallway, Jiang Xia took out his camera in the dark stairwell, adjusted it, and hid behind the door.
A few minutes later, the elevator chimed—someone had arrived on this floor.
A series of high heels clacking on the ground walked out of the elevator, passed the stairwell door, and headed straight for Kinoshita Yoko’s house.
Jiang Xia hid behind the stairwell door and looked out.
He saw that the person who came was a slender woman, whose back was very similar to Kinoshita Yoko’s.
This was the person Jiang Xia had labeled “Stalker No. 1,” Kinoshita Yoko’s rival—Ikezawa Yuko.
Jiang Xia silently aimed the camera at her.
Currently, it seemed that the actual situation in this world really matched the anime he had watched.
It was just that there were slight differences in details, such as “Miss Yoko” having a different surname and having a miscarriage…
In any case, with spoilers, everything became much simpler.
Jiang Xia activated his fake “precognition” ability.
If he remembered correctly, there were actually two people who caused “Miss Yoko” so much torment with “stalking.”
One was the young woman in front of him, wearing high heels and doing bad things, Ikezawa Yuko.
The other was Kinoshita Yoko’s ex-boyfriend.
The ex-boyfriend wanted to reconcile.
As for Ikezawa Yuko, she was purely jealous that Kinoshita Yoko was more popular than her and wanted to mess with this beautiful and dedicated colleague.
A while ago, Ikezawa Yuko stole Kinoshita Yoko’s spare key from her agent and began her series of harassment behaviors.
Jiang Xia quickly clarified the situation and felt that this matter was easy to resolve.
After all, Stalker No. 1 and No. 2 were just two weaklings; if worst came to worst, he could just bag them and beat them up.
More important than dealing with them was to make the Ghost Fetus recognize reality during this process, give up its “obsession” with bringing its parents together, and obediently leave with a reliable Spiritual Medium…
Ikezawa Yuko only looked around guiltily when she first got off the elevator.
After that, she skillfully used the stolen key to open Kinoshita Yoko’s door.
People tend to be nervous in unfamiliar environments.
But Ikezawa Yuko had been there several times already.
Now, when she came to Kinoshita Yoko’s house, it was as relaxed as returning home, even happier than returning to her own home.
Therefore, she was not very alert.
She also did not notice at all that a camera was quietly aimed at her in the dark.
