Chapter 144 The Sacrifice Ceremony of the Ex-Boyfriend

"Hey! What are you doing?"

In the room, Koizumi Hongzi was questioning Qin Zhibo.

"My magical things can't be exposed! Otherwise."

Koizumi Hongzi seemed to have triggered the PTSD switch, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.

"if not?"

Qin Zhibo tried to ask, but Koizumi Hongzi's expression was tense and he didn't give an answer.

Qin can only turn to comfort and say: "You just need to stay behind the scenes and leave all the external work to me."

In this way, Koizumi Hongzi's resistance is not so strong.

Back to five minutes ago, Qin Zhibo suddenly had the idea of ​​developing Yoko Okino into his client.

Okino Yoko has a death curse, which has caused her to be very unlucky recently, even she can feel it herself.

That being the case, is it possible to use this to develop Yoko Okino into a customer?
In this way, it can not only make a fortune from popular female artists, but also save lives and develop contacts.

Although Qin Zhibo now has the millions of yen he got from the silver fox last time, strictly speaking, he is not short of money, but who would think there is too much money?

Besides, because Qin Zhibo's sense of time is different from other people in this world, he usually consumes more money, so the more money, the better for Qin.

seems to be for everyone
An hour later, Okino Yoko's manager Yamagishi Rong knocked on the door of Qin Zhibo's room on time.

Qin Zhibo invited Rong Shan'an to sit down in the room, and Rong Shan'an couldn't wait to ask as soon as his ass landed.

"Excuse me, what can Mr. Qin do for me?"

Sakae Yamagishi in front of him has a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face, especially when his eyes are wandering from side to side.

But judging from his every move today, he is still very responsible as an artist manager.

So Qin Zhibo chose to trust him for the time being.

"Actually, it's about Okino Yoko's recent situation. I have something I want to ask you."

"Miss Yoko?"

Sakae Yamagishi's expression moved slightly, and after hesitating for two seconds, he nodded and said, "Yes, you can ask."

"I heard that she has been very unlucky recently, can you tell me the specific way?"

"this."

Sakae Yamagishi hesitated.

After all, Yoko Okino is not an ordinary person, but a popular female artist who has attracted the envy of many people.

Once the news about Yoko Okino's recent misfortune is grasped by someone with a heart, they may use this to create public opinion and attack Yoko Okino.

At the dinner before, Sakae Yamagishi already knew that Qin Zhibo's career was a private detective.

As for the profession of private detective, if you give money, you can inquire about any privacy and information.

Seeing Sakae Yamagishi hesitate, Qin Zhibo changed his words again.

"Actually, Yoko Okino has been very unlucky recently, not simply because of bad luck."

"I wonder if anyone related to Okino Yoko died recently."

"And Yoko Okino has been 'unlucky' since this person died."

Qin Zhibo deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "unlucky", in order to make Yamagishi Rong associate himself in the direction of curse.

If the word "curse" came out of his own mouth, it would be somewhat babbling, and the credibility would not be that high.

But if the other party thinks so, it will be completely different.

After Qin Zhibo's mention, Shan Anrong really thought in this direction.

The person who recently had a relationship with Miss Yoko and died
that's not
Yamagishi Rong: "!"

Looking back on the unfortunate things that Okino Yoko has encountered frequently recently, there is indeed something wrong.

Walking on the bustling street, the hat was suddenly blown away by the strong wind. Passers-by recognized Ms. Yoko and rushed up to ask for her autograph.

When returning home, a flower pot accidentally dropped from the apartment upstairs almost hit Miss Yoko.

During the recording of "Good Morning Seven O'Clock: Okino Yoko 4 Minutes Cooking Time", I accidentally cut my hand while chopping vegetables.

When you go to the shrine to pray and ring the bell, the bell and hemp rope fall directly from above.

Was rear-ended while driving.

Falling down the stairs in the morning.

The board above the toilet fell off.

If you add the murder case encountered today, it will be another bad luck.

And all of this happened after the man died!

Thinking of this, Sakae Yamagishi hurriedly confessed.

"Actually, just two weeks ago, Miss Yoko's ex-boyfriend in high school committed suicide at Miss Yoko's home."

"At that time, he disguised the suicide scene as a homicide, trying to frame Yoko, but fortunately, Maori detectives solved the case."

"Is he the one who cursed Miss Yoko?"

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he and Koizumi Hongzi were right.

Qin Zhibo can guess the motive without the need for Sakae Yamagishi to elaborate.

It must be this ex-boyfriend who saw that Okino Yoko is a popular female artist, handsome and rich, so he chased after him and wanted to get back together, but after being rejected, love turned into hatred.

In this case
Qin Zhibo was sorting out his thoughts, when Sakae Yamagishi suddenly kowtowed to Qin Zhibo again and again, begging as he kowtowed, "Please save Miss Yoko!"

"Miss Yoko works very hard, I don't want to see Yoko's acting career ruined by that person!"

"Please! Please!"

Seeing that Rong Shan'an had already knelt on the ground and begged sincerely, Qin Zhibo would certainly not be so unkind.

"It's okay to save people, but this matter is also quite difficult for me, so..."

Qin Zhibo had a very embarrassed expression on his face, and Ei Yamagishi, as a professional manager who had been in the social field for a long time, immediately understood it.

"I know! I know!"

"We will definitely not treat you badly in terms of remuneration, as long as it can save Miss Yoko from bad luck, we are willing to pay as much as you want!"

The goal was achieved, and Qin Zhibo explained the next thing to Sakae Yamagishi.

"Tomorrow I need to go to the place where Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend committed suicide."

"no problem!"

The next day, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi met with Sakae Yamagishi as scheduled in front of a high-end apartment building in Mihua City.

"Ask this one."

Although Sakae Yamagishi saw the red-haired lady who was following Qin Zhibo yesterday, he even had the idea of ​​pulling her into the showbiz.

But today, after all, we are talking about serious business, so it would be bad to bring along irrelevant people.

"She's my assistant."

"Oh"

Qin Zhibo explained the past casually, and Sakae Yamagishi didn't ask any more questions, and led the two of them to the apartment building.

Koizumi Hongzi, who was walking behind, hurriedly leaned into Qin Zhibo's ear and asked, "When did I become your assistant? You are my assistant."

"Don't you want to show your face? Then I can only introduce you like this."

In this regard, the proud Koizumi Hongzi can only accept it.

In the elevator, Ei Yamagishi briefly introduced the suicide case of Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend.

The ex-boyfriend's name is Fujie Akiyoshi, who was Okino Yoko's boyfriend in high school.

Later, after Yamagishi Sakae actively persuaded and promised to give a breakup fee, Fujie Akiyoshi took the initiative to break up with Okino Yoko.

But just a while ago, this Fujie Akiyoshi suddenly wanted to get back together with Okino Yoko.

It turned out that an actress named Yuko Ikezawa happened to be dissatisfied with Yoko Okino for stealing the heroine position of her TV series. She stole the spare key of Yoko's house and broke into Yoko's house to destroy it.

Akiyoshi Fujie, who wanted to come to get back together, happened to meet Yuko Ikezawa who came in to make trouble, and mistook Yuko Ikezawa's back for Yoko Okino. He wanted to speak up but was violently resisted.

In the end, Fujie Akiyoshi felt resentful and thought of committing suicide to blame others.

"These were the reasonings of Maori detectives at the time"

"Oh, there it is, right here."

The elevator stopped on the 25th floor, and Sakae Yamagishi led the two through the long corridor, took out the key and opened a door.

"This is where Miss Yoko used to live."

"Because the police said that they may need to come here to collect evidence in the future, the living room where Akiyoshi Fujie committed suicide remained unchanged."

On the floor, the fixed lines of white corpse traces depict a solid human silhouette, and there is a standing chair beside it.

"At that time, Akiyoshi Fujie fixed the sharp knife with ice, then jumped from the chair onto the sharp knife, and committed suicide."

Sakae Yamagishi continued to talk about Fujie Akiyoshi's suicide method, while Qin Zhibo pretended to be thinking, turned his head and leaned next to Koizumi Koko, and asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?"

"Hmm," Koizumi Hongzi pondered, "Even if it's not magic, there should be a ritual array for curses here."

"But it's very clean here, and I can't tell where the ritual array is."

Koizumi Hongzi was in a stalemate, and Qin Zhibo searched the room based on his own experience.

When he looked up at the ceiling, Qin Zhibo found that the living room lights in this high-end apartment building were a bit strange.

Next to the normal fluorescent tube, there is a thinner and shorter tube.

"What kind of light is that?"

Sakae Yamagishi looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger and explained: "That is the standard ultraviolet germicidal lamp for this building."

"Where is this light switch?"

"Hmm - please wait a moment, the switch of this light is controlled by a single remote control, I need to find it first."

Soon, Sakae Yamagishi found the remote control in the cabinet at the entrance, and handed the remote control to Qin Zhibo.

When the switch is pressed, the ultraviolet lamp starts to work after the sound of electrification.
The not very dazzling purple light instantly flooded the entire living room, making the atmosphere of the entire space start to feel weird.

But what really makes people feel weird is not the ultraviolet rays, but a ritual formation that is only revealed under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays.

It is composed of several irregular rings, pentagrams and other patterns, as well as some weird characters with hooks. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, they show a faint fluorescent color.

And in the very center of the entire ritual array was the fixed line of traces of Akiyoshi Fujie's corpse.
