Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

"Hehehe, if these crazy fujoshi knew that Xia Fan, who is good-looking, well-dressed and well-educated, and the talented music producer 'Xia Fan' are the same person, they would go completely crazy and wait in the B Club building every day."

"However, this information can only be known by me for the time being."

Holding the back of her head with both hands, the woman stared at Xia Fan on the "Campus Singer Contest Poster" that was used as desktop wallpaper, and smiled a secret smile.

"correct……"

Suddenly remembering something, she opened another program.

"I easily cracked the personal credit records and bank transfer records, but why is the source of Xia Fan's 'remuneration' so mysterious? It actually jumped to several cover accounts, and even my strongest crawler couldn't track it..."

Xia Fan's bank statement information appeared on the computer screen in every detail, and it was obvious that his personal information had been completely exposed.

The self-programmed AI crawler is automatically digging for deeper data, but its progress has stalled at 10%.

"No matter what, let the AI ​​dig automatically. We must not miss any of Xia Fan's addictive advantages!"

The woman stretched and stood up wrapped in the quilt, apparently preparing to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

"Bang bang..."

At the same time, there was a deep knock on the door of the apartment.

"What drunkard has walked into the wrong place in the middle of the night?"

A wary look flashed in the woman's eyes. She hastily put on her underwear and a hooded sportswear, put on a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and walked silently to the door.

On the other side of the cat's eye, there stood three men in police uniforms with serious expressions.

"Police? Why are you at my doorstep so late at night?"

The woman covered her mouth nervously, not daring to make a sound.

"Ms. Aiba Yui, this is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. We know you are at home."

"This is the last knock on the door. If you don't open the door, we will violently break in the door in three minutes in accordance with the compulsory search warrant."

The police officer outside the door whispered the statement and knocked on the door three times quickly.

"Okay, we've completed the 'duty of disclosure' process. Bring me the lock pick!"

Then, he had no intention of waiting for "three minutes" and impatiently asked his companion behind him for tools.

"Um, Mr. Policeman, why are you here so late at night? Is there something wrong?"

The door opened a crack, and the woman called "Aiba Yui" appeared from behind the door chain with sleepy eyes and asked in a timid tone.

This is completely different from the gloomy and sickly look he had in front of the computer just now.

"Ms. Aiba Yui?"

The police officer outside the door identified the woman's appearance with sharp eyes.

"We are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Ninth Section. We suspect you are involved in a supernatural case. Please come with us immediately to assist in the investigation."

Then, with no intention of engaging in conversation, he simply placed his foot against the inside of the door and produced his ID.

"A super-natural case?!"

"If you show any suspicious behavior, we will take forceful measures."

Before Aiba Yui could react, the agent had already pulled out a gun and pointed it at her.

"..."

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Aiba Yui could only raise her hands in amazement.

……

After one hour.

"Confirm that there are no 'supernatural reactions' on her, and remove the physical restraints."

A cool and pleasant female voice sounded beside Aiba Yui's ears...

The blindfold on his head was taken off and the handcuffs behind his back were unlocked.

What came into view was a brightly lit, windowless, enclosed room.

"My name is Higurashi, an inspector of the 9th Section of the Metropolitan Police Department. This Jinguji Miko is our advisor."

Standing in front of her was a fair-skinned woman wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform.

"Who are you? Even if you are the police, you cannot illegally detain a good citizen like me."

Aiba Yui moved her wrist and protested in a low voice.

After being taken away by the police at gunpoint in the middle of the night to "assist in the investigation," she was handcuffed and blindfolded and taken to this small room.

"Hey, good citizen?"

"Aiba Yui, female, 19 years old. Because of her excellent academic performance, she skipped five grades in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Three years ago, she was admitted to the graduate school of computer networks at the University of Tokyo."

"A year later, because of a number of misconducts, such as illegally accessing research project materials and using hacking methods to obtain other people's privacy on the Internet, the school did not pursue civil liability and expelled him from school."

"What good citizen would have such a criminal record? I heard that you threatened to expose your research data privately, so the University of Tokyo gave up the prosecution, right?"

Inspector Higurashi chuckled, opened a file in his hand, and read it in a low voice.

"Ahahaha, those are all things of the past."

"It is a loss for the University of Tokyo to expel a genius like me because of a small 'technical misunderstanding'."

Aiba Yui turned her face away in dissatisfaction.

"Well, let's talk about 'recently'."

"What is your relationship with the Inagawa Group, Takenaka Masahiro, and these other people?"

Inspector Higurashi's face turned cold, he took out a few photos and asked sternly.

The photo showed the head of the Inagawa group, Masahiro Takenaka, and several core members.

"I don't know any of these people, and I've never heard of any of the names you mentioned."

Looking at the men in the photos with fat faces and a "social" air, Aiba Yui was stunned for a moment and shook her head frankly.

"Inspector, preliminary analysis of her micro-expressions shows that she is not lying."

The agent's voice came from the other side of the one-way glass through Higurashi's headphones.

"Hmm. So, you are from the 'illegal foreign labor agency'?"

Higurashi nodded and asked again.

"Illegal foreign labor agency? The kind that tricks Indians into coming here to work illegally?"

"Don't look down on me. Is it necessary for a network technology genius like me to get involved in those dirty things?"

Aiba Yui frowned, her face flushed with anger.

"So, have you ever heard of the name 'Red God'?"

After getting confirmation from the neighbor that he "didn't lie", Higurashi asked another question.

"Naked?"

"It's the Red God!"

"Shame God?"

"It's the Red God..."

"What a mess! You are simply wasting everyone's time."

Aiba Yui's face was full of helplessness and fatigue.

"Let's get straight to the point, Inspector Higurashi."

Unable to bear this incomprehensible conversation, Jinguji, who was watching coldly, yawned and finally spoke.

"Assuming that you have no connection with any of the above people..."

"So, since midnight today, you have been digging up Xia Fan's personal information on the Internet, hacking into the bank system to retrieve bank transactions, and even trying to track and crack our police's secret bank account. What is the purpose of this series of illegal actions..."

Higurashi nodded and asked straight to the point.

Chapter 142 Emergency

2024-07-13

"Digging up 'Xia Fan's' information...hacking into the bank system...tracking down and cracking the police's secret bank account...wait, that secret account that pays Xia Fan his royalties every month and has multiple aliases actually belongs to your police?!"

"Are you police officers kidding me about taxpayers' money? Coming to my house in the middle of the night, bringing me here with a gun and handcuffs, just for something like this?!"

After thinking for a while with a dull expression, Aiba Yui finally figured out the cause of the incident.

A few hours ago, when she shouted in the study, "Xia Fan, take me away," she would never have thought that she would actually be "taken away" because of such a thing.

Using network technology to mine personal information on the Internet is a gray area of ​​practice that will not be investigated unless the public complains.

As a talented young (homebody) girl who is good at network technology, whether it is cracking websites to find fencing manuals, or organizing a large number of Trojan accounts to give bad reviews to "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", including this time of further digging into Xia Fan's personal information out of "excited prey", such things are as common to Aiba Yui as drinking water and eating.

"This 'thing' you're talking about may be far more serious than you think. Please answer my question directly."

But there was no sign of joking in Inspector Higurashi's expression or tone.

"It's not a big deal anyway... Um, isn't the final episode of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" going to be aired tonight?"

"Originally, fans of the original novel of The Chrysanthemum and the Sword were planning to gather together to start a public opinion war, but because the quality of the final chapter was too good, it ended up in nothing."

"Because of Xia Fan's outstanding performance as Kazama Manye, everyone was clamoring to 'promote' this actor, but I found that there was no personal information on the Internet, so I did a little 'digging'... summarized a document, and created a support website..."

"If I knew Xia Fan was involved with your police, I would never have left that idiotic AI crawler in the background, leaving a trail for you guys..."

Aiba Yui looked conflicted and told the whole story in a halting manner.

The original purpose of digging into that account was to find out whether Xia Fan had any "part-time jobs" in other fields...

No matter how hard she tried, she could not imagine that Xia Fan, a college student, amateur actor and music producer, would have financial transactions with the police's secret account.

The police's attitude of being on high alert and mobilizing a large number of troops even gave Aiba Yui an illusion...

Could it be that Xia Fan, the person whose information he dug up, was not an amateur trainee, but an important member of the royal family? !

"Report, Aiba Yui has basically not left the house in the past month. We investigated the source of her income, and it was all from legal software development. The funds are indeed not connected with Inagawa Group, illegal labor agencies, etc."

At the same time, the latest investigation report came through Detective Higurashi's headphones.

"So, this girl really dug up Xia Jun's personal information out of idol-chasing, and even followed the bank statements all the way to the financial account of Lesson 9?!"

He covered his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The information group of Lesson 9 discovered that the "vest" of the secret account was hacked by a crawler at midnight today.

The information team conducted counter-reconnaissance along the way and located Aiba Yui who was digging for information about Xia Fan. They thought that the other party was a remaining believer of "Akagami" with ulterior motives, so they immediately went to her home and arrested her.

"Inspector Higurashi, come over next door and chat."

Aoi Jinguji opened the door and walked towards the next room.

Higurashi followed closely behind and closed the door with a bang.

……

"Inspector Higurashi, it is because of Section 9's negligence that this emergency situation has occurred!"

As soon as they arrived in the next room, Jinguji Aoi said with a serious face.

"Our negligence...led to...an emergency?"

Higurashi looked confused after hearing this.

"That's right. Xia Fan has been the consultant of Section 9 for only three months, and he has solved several cases, including the 'Toilet Paper Girl', the 'Aragami of Kanda Shrine', and the 'Red God Cult'. His importance to the entire District 11 is no less than that of the Second Line Monk."

"And now, because of the loose information protection awareness of the ninth lesson, the personal information of a national treasure-level psychic who can remove the wild god, which should have been marked as top secret, is being known to thousands of people as the document spreads."

Jinguji Aoi continued speaking with certainty.

"I... I will ask the information team to clear all the remaining copies of the document from all servers and destroy the website that has not yet been launched!"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, big beads of sweat began to appear on Rimu's forehead.

"No, it's too late! Cloud data can be cleared, but what about the local data on computers and mobile phones? What about those people who have already seen the document..."

"Moreover, the information leaked this time was just ordinary personal information, and it is very likely that more similar 'supernatural information leaks' will occur in the future."
