Chapter 50 - 【Peeping】 The real culprit appears!

The man was wearing a black hoodie. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, he unusually had his hood up and was even wearing a face mask.

Seeing this scene, Fujiwara Shunsui naturally felt that Kojima Bin was reliable in his work.

Based on his experience from his previous life,

if someone like this achieved something in the IT field, they were truly a master among masters.

Otherwise, he was just a pure internet addict or a veteran Sanhe God—the only types who dressed like this.

Because "everyone" generally believed that this style of dress gave them a sense of "security."

Although in Fujiwara Shunsui's opinion, this was nothing more than self-comfort,

Harumizu respected it!

"Hello, I am Fujiwara Shunsui!"

The moment Fujiwara Shunsui extended his hand, Kojima Bin, who was standing nearby, was stunned.

He had not even expected that Harumizu-dono, who was so lofty in his eyes, would proactively greet a shut-in who had come to help.

This situation was clearly outside of his expectations.

"N-Nani?"

On the way over, Kojima Bin repeatedly emphasized to the man in the black hood that they were going to help a big shot. This big shot was a prominent figure throughout Shinjuku; calling him half the emperor of the underground world would not be an exaggeration.

Therefore, he must act humbly enough.

To be honest, the moment the other party opened the door, he was still momentarily stunned. He had never seen such a burly man in Shinjuku.

Not to mention himself, who stayed home every day and hated going out; facing such a scene, he was inevitably a little nervous.

Yet, the other party extended his hand at this moment, wanting to shake hands, which surprised him.

Although surprised, he still extended his hand and bowed, stating: "Hello, Mr. Fujiwara, my name is Kono Tomou."

The two briefly shook hands.

Harumizu knew that even though he was the "employer," he must show respect when dealing with technology.

Especially in areas he did not understand.

Fujiwara Shunsui then led the two men inside. The feeling of having no one else at home made Fujiwara Shunsui feel a long-lost sense of comfort, and he couldn't quite explain why he felt this way.

Kono Tomou walked into the house sandwiched between Fujiwara Shunsui and Kojima Bin.

After the three large men sat down in the living room, they were silent for a few seconds, and no one spoke.

There was a feeling of awkward silence.

It was after this brief silence that,

Fujiwara Shunsui, Kojima Bin, and Kono Tomou all spoke at the same time.

"Um..."

"Harumizu-dono..."

"Mr. Fujiwara..."

Immediately following, another awkward scene occurred.

"You go first..."

"No, you go first..."

The three of them probably hadn't expected such synchronization.

Instead, Fujiwara Shunsui seized all the conversational power, forcefully taking control, and stated:

"I'll speak first! Kojima Bin must have told you the purpose of inviting Mr. Kono here today. I suspect that the elevator surveillance in our community has been hacked, so I want to know if you have a way to find out who the culprit is!"

"There is a high probability that the person is someone from our community!"

After Fujiwara Shunsui finished speaking, Kono Tomou first glanced at Kojima Bin, and after receiving a confirming look from him,

Kono Tomou looked at Fujiwara Shunsui and said:

"If it's remote monitoring, it might be impossible to track the specific IP, but if it's within the community, it's actually quite easy to determine."

Fujiwara Shunsui continued to look at Kono Tomou, wanting him to finish his explanation.

However, the other party clearly didn't understand Harumizu's intention and could only seek help from Kojima Bin with his eyes again.

Kojima Bin instantly understood and explained to Fujiwara Shunsui:

"Harumizu-dono, Tomou means he can't guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in finding this person, but he will definitely conduct a full investigation!"

Hearing Kojima Bin's forced explanation, a flicker of displeasure crossed Fujiwara Shunsui's eyes. Although he saw the man's gesture seeking help from Kojima Bin, he still wanted the actual technical expert to answer.

Because sometimes information deviation exists precisely in the process of inaccurate transmission!

Fujiwara Shunsui said coldly: "I want to hear Mr. Kono's own answer."

Everyone could sense the change in Fujiwara Shunsui's mood, and Kono Tomou was naturally no exception. He quickly took over the conversation and replied: "Mr. Kojima Bin is correct. He confirmed this question with me countless times before we came!"

"I truly cannot guarantee one hundred percent success in finding the person, but if the person is within the community and invaded the surveillance using a local IP, I have a method for that!"

Hearing Kono Tomou's answer, Fujiwara Shunsui nodded in satisfaction.

Because of the [System Mission], he was almost certain that the person was inside his apartment building.

His apartment building had ten floors, with four units per floor,

totaling forty households. Although checking door-to-door wasn't impossible, it would create a negative impact. As a member of the Syndicate, the most important thing now was maintaining a good image!

Therefore, if a computer expert could help him easily find the person,

this would naturally be a win-win situation... Inside the community surveillance room,

Fujiwara Shunsui and his group were gathered behind Kono Tomou, including two security guards.

Because the surveillance room had been inexplicably infiltrated last time,

the community's security had become much stricter.

Fujiwara Shunsui alone owned eight properties in the apartment building where they were located.

Not to mention, he had the legitimate reason of "helping" the community find security loopholes!

Therefore, entering the security room was a very easy matter.

Everyone watched Kono Tomou connect his laptop to the server room next to the surveillance room.

He then worked like this for ten minutes.

No one spoke the entire time!

Fujiwara Shunsui waited silently and did not rush him.

Instead, he was typing on his phone keyboard, making "da da da" sounds.

Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Are you buying a lot of things? Will there be enough space at home!"]

Kojou Yuna: ["What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll take up too much space in your house? Then I'll move out."]

Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Don't misunderstand me. I mean, if you have a lot of stuff, I can move the equipment out of the home gym!"]

Kojou Yuna: ["No need for that! Harumizu-gege is so nice!"]

When Fujiwara Shunsui saw the four characters "Harumizu-gege," goosebumps instantly covered his entire body.

He didn't even know if having Kojou Yuna and Miya Harukiko together was the right choice.

How could she have changed so much in less than a day?

Why did Kojou Yuna seem like a completely different person!

Could Miya Harukiko really possess some kind of magic?

He wondered if the constant tapping of Fujiwara Shunsui's phone keyboard mixed with the sound of Kono Tomou typing on his laptop keyboard created an invisible pressure.

Kojima Bin, who had been silent the entire time, actually opened his mouth to rush Kono Tomou:

"How is it going? Do you have results yet?"

Due to being too close to the server, coupled with his nervousness, tiny beads of sweat seeped out on Kono Tomou's forehead.

Hearing Kojima Bin's words, Fujiwara Shunsui's mood soured, even though he was chatting with Kojou Yuna!

He cursed internally with some displeasure:

"Doesn't he understand respecting technology? Rushing, rushing, rushing—is that useful!"

However, Fujiwara Shunsui did not speak aloud, afraid of putting too much pressure on Kono Tomou!

Kono Tomou remained silent, simply continuing his busy work!

Another ten minutes passed.

There was still no reaction.

Everyone was very quiet.

Instead, Kojima Bin kept pacing back and forth.

Seeing Kojima Bin's impatience, the goodwill Fujiwara Shunsui previously held for him was slowly being eroded.

Just as Harumizu was about to speak up and reprimand him,

Kono Tomou, who had his back to everyone, suddenly shouted:

"Found him!!!"
