"Huh? Really?" She took out her phone again and zoomed the camera to the farthest angle this time, but still couldn't see any useful images. "How did you know?"

"Hair and headband, plus the gossip reporter's news, three coincidences, I think it's entirely possible."

"But classmate Shiranui asked for leave from school yesterday, saying that she was going to Kyoto to film a movie." Fujiwara Chika recalled what Makihara Kozue told her in the group, that they were assigned to the same class.

"Maybe there's something else going on?" Xing Yuanhui decided on the next target and suggested to Fujiwara Chika, "Let's go ask Uncle Baiyin when he comes back."

Chapter 50: A Chance to Win Without a Kill

Dio Shirogane came back from the stage. Although his adult face was still so calm and expressionless, the action of raising his arm and clenching his fist indicated that this trip would be a great success.

Stepping back into the dark auditorium, the uncle squinted his eyes as the environment turned from light to dark, and said calmly: "Okay, the person in charge heard that you are students of Shuchiyuan and agreed to your activities in the theater."

But then he said with some worry: "But in order to ensure the effect of the rehearsal, he wants me to follow you. Can you accept this?"

"There's nothing unacceptable..." Xing Yuanhui spread out his hands, looking indifferent.

Fujiwara Chika took over his words: "As long as you don't care, uncle."

"It's good to have a proper reason to move around." Shirogane Dio stretched and complained, "It's boring to stay by the door all the time, right? It's dark around, playing with the phone is bad for my eyesight, and the stage announcement is not on. It's really a boring job."

But he asked curiously, "But it seems that the student from Shuchiin Academy doesn't need to be watched. And just now, Ogino was also next to the person in charge. When he heard that two students from Shuchiin Academy were coming, his expression was a little unnatural. It was because of his request that the person in charge asked me to follow you."

Ogino? Hoshibuchi Teru looked towards the stage.

Sure enough, it caught his attention. In addition to the uncle, there were several other people in the venue looking in this direction, but Ogino was not seen.

Well, now I can officially wander around the theater. If all else fails, I can find some people who seem to be angry but dare not speak out, and the effect will be the same if I find them after you leave.

The uncle scratched his head and asked, "So what are you doing here?"

The two looked at each other, and Xing Yuanhui's eyes told her that this person was trustworthy, and the people Quan Jing found were generally quite reliable.

She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth: "As a student who is determined to work hard on the road of self-media, let's see if there is any news to dig up about Ogino?"

You still remember this setting, but it’s better to be safe.

Xing Yuanhui half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "It can be considered as an after-school entertainment. After all, the next trend is live streaming. I can get some fans on my own media. If I get desperate one day, I can do some 'Don't Laugh Challenge' or something like that..."

The progress in the previous world was still relatively fast, and scattered vtubers began to emerge on the Internet. If the development was consistent, what would follow would be a short and golden blue ocean period.

Although it has nothing to do with me, if the vtb trend had come a few years earlier, I might have joined in the fun, but forget it now. The money is little and the work is great.

Thinking of this, Xing Yuanhui suggested to the uncle: "Uncle Baiyin, are you interested in this? I think you can give it a try. Anyway, there are no customers coming to the fortune-telling shop, so why not spend some time on this."

The boy became more and more excited as he spoke: "I'll create a virtual image and share my rich life experiences and work experiences with others as topics of conversation. Maybe I'll become famous. Most netizens are young and don't have as much experience as you. Besides, my deep voice is also unique. Maybe I'll be popular in the market."

Anyway, they are all opportunities. The dean is not interested in this, the three little ones are still junior high school students, and Quanjing’s job does not allow for such things - the agent showing up in public and so on, can those bigwigs who still allow fax machines in the office really accept it?

After eliminating all the people he knew, the uncle was the only one who needed this opportunity.

Dio Shirogane did not immediately dismiss these as the wishful thinking of someone who has not yet entered society. He thought that these were students of Shuchiin, so perhaps they were the guidance of their parents?

He showed a little interest and asked, "Really? Will it be troublesome? Do I need a computer?"

“It’s not too troublesome, but it’s better to start with video.”

Xing Yuanhui could probably guess that Uncle Baiyin probably didn't have much money to spend on machine configuration, so he suggested: "Because of the computer configuration, you can probably only do a live chat with the audience in the early stage. In that case, at least someone must be in the live broadcast room first. If you highlight your selling points and characteristics like writing a resume..."

Xing Yuanhui talked about these things attentively. The uncle nodded from time to time and expressed his own ideas. They were having a pleasant conversation. Only Fujiwara Chika was watching them from the side.

What's going on? I'm the only one who doesn't understand anything. Is this the legendary boy's barrier?

Since some boys feel a repulsion towards places where girls gather together, reverse your thinking and why can't girls feel a repulsion towards places where boys gather together?

But Fujiwara Chika was not an ordinary person. She just stood there with a fake smile, watching the old and young discussing a topic that she had no say in, until she found an opportunity to interrupt them and said:

"Okay! We've been talking for a long time, now it's time to get back to the topic!" Fujiwara Chika clapped her hands and spoke at the moment when both of them were in deep thought.

"Yes, Uncle Baiyin, this is my contact information..." Xing Yuanhui knew he was in the wrong and didn't care that the senior interrupted their conversation.

It was also quite strange that a companion who was traveling with you suddenly ran off to communicate with others alone, leaving his original companion aside.

Xing Yuanhui returned to the topic and said, "Well, before we go to Shiranui, Uncle Shirogane, can you tell us something about Ogino?"

"After listening to you say so much just now, although I also want to confidently say 'yes'!" the uncle said helplessly, "but my world is too far away from celebrities and the like, it's better to let my daughter come."

But the uncle rolled his eyes and offered, "If you want to invite some crew members out, I can be your contact. Communicating with people is my strong point! And I have to help the crew guard the gate for a few days."

"Then I'd like to thank you, uncle." After saying that, Xing Yuanhui turned around and said to Fujiwara Chika, "Sorry for the wait. From now on, the communication with Shiranui will be handed over to you, senior sister!"

He hesitated for a moment, but still did not put his arm on Fujiwara Chika's shoulders, but just made a gesture to cheer her up.

"Why? Don't you dare to go and call her alone?" Fujiwara Chika raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly as if she had discovered something, "You like Shiranui too?"

Xing Yuanhui pointed at himself and was very confused: "Do I look a lot like Izumi Jing?"

"No, you're a little whiter than Mr. Quan Jing." She tilted her head, "Aren't you Xingyuan Moss now? You have to shoulder your responsibilities!"

"I just think that communication between girls can save time and effort."

"Okay~, since you said so." Fujiwara Chika changed her offensive and regained her arrogance before being scared by the uncle, "Let us go!"

The three of them came in front of Shiranui, and Xing Yuanhui realized that she was not the only one around, there were several people covered in black nearby.

Looking at the sunglasses they were wearing, Xing Yuanhui doubted whether they could see clearly.

"Shiranui-san, right? I heard that you were going to Kyoto to film a movie?" Fujiwara Chika sat down next to her and asked as if she had met an acquaintance and wanted to chat about family matters.

"...How do you know it's mine?" Although she said this, she was not surprised at all, and her tone was very calm.

I don’t know if she had known this for a long time or if it was her natural personality, but she spoke in the same tone when she caught Xing Yuanhui and Quan Jing in the store last time.

Xing Yuanhui helped Fujiwara Chika explain: "Because you looked like a zongzi last time, and this time you looked more like a zongzi, but zongzi straps usually don't have two small white flower straps. Is that your anti-counterfeiting certification?"

Without lifting his hood, Shiranui looked up at the source of the voice and said calmly, "It's you."

Fujiwara Chika continued the conversation: "By the way, where is Shiranui-san?"

“It can be considered as an offline investigation.”

"But you seem to be staring at the stage the whole time?" Fujiwara Chika thought of the gossip and gritted her teeth and said directly, "Is it about Ogino-san?"

At this moment, the character played by Ogino is slowly walking onto the stage from the backstage.

"Isn't it the same for you?" When he saw the real person, Shiranui's voice did not change at all.

There was a moment of silence, and Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to break the deadlock and said, "Well, since Ogino-san's performance will continue for a while, can we have a chat?"

Shiranui nodded noncommittally and asked, "Are you here for Ogino as well?"

"Yes, the next question is my turn. Why are you here?" Xing Yuanhui interrupted. He saw someone approaching here. They were the people who had been next to Shiranui for a long time.

The newcomer walked up to Shiranui and patted the armchair, then when Shiranui looked at him, he slowly shook his head.

However, Shiranui, who always had her own opinions, ignored her agent and turned to face Fujiwara Chika.

Seeing her attitude, the agent became a little anxious.

It's always like this! Today was the same! It would have been nice if the detective came, but when he heard that we were going to the theater to investigate Ogino, he just came without explaining anything!

Shiranui heard her agent's breathing become heavier, but still ignored him.

She had her own reasons - she knew that Fujiwara Chika was a member of the student council, so what could make Fujiwara Chika take the trouble to run to the rehearsal theater with others? The answer is not difficult to guess, she and Ogino are students in the same class.

"He has been trying to use the relationship of being a classmate from the same school to pester me recently, and he has also done some..." Considering that there was someone she didn't know next to Fujiwara Chika, Shiranui didn't reveal her address, which was suspected to have been leaked by Ogino, "bad things."

The idol with a natural personality is actually very angry. The new home is not fully furnished yet, and he can't stay in the old home. He has to maintain his expression and personality in the company. He feels uncomfortable wherever he goes. He can only make a happy ending and force himself to experience the tracking drama in advance to maintain his mental health.

If we were playing a game, I would definitely shoot you... Shiranui thought darkly.

"Is that so?" Although they were not very familiar with each other, it was the first time that Fujiwara Chika saw a different emotion in the tone of the three-no idol.

Shiranui pointed with her chin. Of course, she couldn't use her eyes to signal now, as her hood blocked her view. "Now let me ask you, what is your purpose in looking for Ogino?"

"Uh..." Fujiwara Chika didn't really want to say it directly, "It's because of some old memories, right?"

"Fujiwara-senpai, I think we can talk it out more clearly." Shiranui tilted her head slightly, looked directly at Fujiwara Chika and said, "Because of the Ishigami incident, right?"

"Hmm... Am I watching gang members fighting..." the uncle, who had been silent for a long time, complained.

"Who knows... Shiranui has appeared in so many shows, is it impossible for an Infernal Affairs theater to be among them?" Xing Yuanhui muttered to himself, and was given a look by Fujiwara Chika.

Why? The uncle can complain, but I can’t!

"If so, what do you want to do?" Fujiwara Chika asked with narrowed eyes.

"Then we can cooperate." Shiranui waved her hand to signal her agent to give her the detective investigation information.

While the agent was getting the information, she said, "Although the starting points are a little different, the direction of causing trouble for Ogino is the same, isn't it?"

"Cooperation?" Fujiwara Chika took the materials, flipped through them, and stopped talking for a while.

There is not much information. Compared with the long stories about teachers collected by Shuchiin, the information collected by Shiranui is much less, but the content is more than just explosive.

Walking around the streets with those female celebrities and Ogino, it seemed like going into a hotel would be even more exciting - Ogino might have had private communications with the underworld group [Guangxia Group], and so did his father. The photos of them entering a nightclub run by [Guangxia Group] were on the pieces of paper handed over by Shiranui.

The following line of text is attached below: According to the oral accounts of his men, Mr. Ogino's son had repeatedly used his identity as a stage actor to lure underage women into nightclubs, and this nightclub was involved in business in the suburbs.

"This is a bit..." Fujiwara Chika was a little bit unbelievable. She flipped through the papers again and again, totally unable to believe it.

"I don't know whether it's true or not. After all, witnesses can't be the only evidence." Shiranui leaned over and whispered in the senior's ear, "It's just that with my energy, it's too much effort to fight against Ogino. Since the student union is investigating things related to Ogino, it means that 'she' is paying attention to this matter, right?"

The Shinomiya family is one of the chaebols in Japan. The Ogino family and the Shiranui family are of similar size. It is almost impossible to kill Ogino without bloodshed. Who dares to say that they don’t have black material? Even if they don’t have it, how many people can recognize those fake news based on hearsay?

But now the chance to win without bloodshed is right in front of us. Even if the fault of the Ishigami incident lies entirely with Ishigami, what does it matter? Once these things done by Ogino are exposed, the VIPs of Shuchiin will definitely deal with the matter. Do those people need evidence for their actions? How did the student council president of the previous generation of the mixed school go to Cambodia?

At this moment, someone on the stage was walking towards the audience, and judging from the direction, he was coming towards them.

Shiranui stood up with the help of the handrail, raised her chin and nodded forward, and said in a low voice: "Trouble is coming, keep the information. This time I should come to you, I'm leaving first, the old man is very talkative."

After a pause, she seemed a little undecided, and added: "Mr. Yamamoto probably doesn't know what Ogino and his father did, but please don't tell him.

"Mr. Yamamoto is old and always takes care of the younger generation. He has a very good reputation in the industry. He can't possibly get involved in these things. There is no point in saying these things except to stimulate his body and mind. This time he just came to help the crew because his health has improved and he can't stay idle. The main manager is still the Ogino family."

After leaving these words behind, she took the people away without hesitation, as if she would feel uncomfortable with the old man she was talking about.

Chapter 51 Why do I feel guilty for deceiving an old man?

The three of them watched as Shiranui left with her legs flapping rapidly, as if she was fleeing in panic, and then slowly looked towards the people who were moving slowly on the stage.

To be respected by Shiranui-san so much, he must be a respected senior, right? Fujiwara Chika thought.

Old man? Xing Yuanhui hesitated and looked at the leader in front of the team. He was holding a stick and moving forward step by step with difficulty.

His hair was all gray, but his hairstyle was well-groomed. He wore a pair of old-fashioned thick glasses on his face. His eyes were full of depth accumulated over the years, but the age spots were not severe.

If he could stop relying on the stick, he would be a handsome old man, the kind that both men and women would like.

"Xingyuan classmate, Fujiwara classmate." Uncle Shirogane reminded in a low voice, "This is the person in charge I mentioned before. After hearing that you are students of Shuchiin, he allowed you to watch the rehearsal without a moment's hesitation."

Both of them nodded to show that they heard it.

Fujiwara Chika hesitated for a moment, then put the information into her bag first, then turned to Xing Yuanhui and explained: "I'll show it to you later, sorry..."

She recited Shiranui's words and thought: There are photos here. It would be bad if Senior Yamamoto saw them and became interested.

"Hmm? Not a big deal."

Xing Yuanhui said indifferently, he also heard what Shiranui said just now, the timing is indeed not good now.

When the senior sister put away the materials, she suggested, "Let's go over there too. Isn't it strange to wait here for the old man to come and greet us?"

The other two agreed and began to walk towards the stage without any hesitation.

In the audience seats closest to the stage, the old man saw clearly the Shuchi school uniforms on Xingyuan Teru and Fujiwara Chika, and his slightly cloudy eyes flashed, and the demeanor that could attract everyone's attention as soon as he stepped on the stage in the past reappeared in the world.

"Are you the self-media students who just interviewed Guang in the drama club? Haha, he just mentioned you to me."

Yamamoto didn't notice the hint of embarrassment between Ogino's brows.

He ignored the words of dissuasion from the people around him and the elderly crew leader moved over calmly. He was old, and although he had not retired yet, his legs and feet had long been unsteady.

There were several assistants surrounding him, supporting Yamamoto's arms along the way, including Ogino Hikaru.

Without waiting for Xing Yuanhui and the others to reply, Yamamoto continued to talk to himself: "You are students of Shuzhiyuan like this boy, right?"

The old man looked nostalgic as he chattered to several current students beside him: "Is everything okay? I haven't been back to see you for a long time. Alas, it seems like it was a long, long time ago that I met your father."
