Meanwhile, on the other side, Kira Yoshikage was silently driving his small car, beginning his search from the location where Kishibe Rohan had gotten off yesterday.
Originally, Kira Yoshikage had planned to find an opportunity to directly blow him up, but now his idea had changed; after finding his house, he would tell Kira Yoshihiro the correct location.
He had just received a call from Kira Yoshihiro, and unexpectedly, the other party had no idea they were being monitored by Kira Yoshihiro; his surveillance, just like in the original, was going very smoothly.
The three of them were completely unaware of the fact that they were being spied upon, or rather, who would suspect a photograph stuck to a bird's back?
They were just chatting and laughing there, and everything they talked about was relayed to Kira Yoshikage by Kira Yoshihiro.
The ghost Stand User was indeed a bit insidious.
In fact, Kira Yoshihiro had intended to kill all three of them directly, and his Stand ability was fully capable of achieving this.
He could take a photograph with a camera and attack enemies within the space of the photograph, killing them?
Then the corresponding damage would be reflected in reality; once the process in the photograph was complete, the process in reality would definitely be completed, and even the invincible Star Platinum would be completely unable to stop this process.
They would simply be beheaded directly.
But unfortunately, this suggestion was directly overruled by Kira Yoshikage; this ability was not clearly countered by the combination of Crazy Diamond and Nijimura Okuyasu; as soon as the other party understood this ability, they could immediately counterattack.
Compared to that, it would be better to find a way to make them investigate the mangaka.
This guy is a Stand User and is capable of killing people for manga material, which is perfect for luring Koichi over, letting the other party kill Koichi, or getting killed himself like in the original, and then he could find a way to commit crimes at the Hospital, where there should coincidentally be three Stand Users now.
Kira Yoshikage continued his meticulous search; he remembered having seen the original map several times, and although he couldn't recall exactly where Kishibe Rohan's house was, he remembered that the area around his house had very developed transportation, unlike the outskirts of the Town with only a few roads, and it was also very close to the railway.
Adding in the location where he got off yesterday, as long as he searched a bit longer, he would eventually find his house.
What he didn't realize, however, was that Kishibe Rohan, on the other side, wasn't home at all, but was taking pictures all over the Town, trying to find those suspicious individuals.
"Damn it, who is it? Who is that perverted serial killer who has been killing for years? How interesting, so interesting, the memories of such a rare talent must be very valuable and will allow me to make even greater innovations."
With a twisted smile on his face, Kishibe Rohan took out a set of photographs, dozens of different office workers he had just taken; he scanned them and felt they were all unremarkable.
But looking at them from the perspective of a serial killer, he felt that each of them was extraordinary; this feeling of picking out a serial killer from a crowd made the mangaka smile with twisted excitement.
"Just wait, I will definitely find you. I will tear out your memories page by page and use them as inspiration for my creations."
Looking at Kishibe Rohan's twisted smile, passersby couldn't help but look at him twice, 'Is this person a pervert? Should we call the police?'
Until a seemingly young man suddenly seemed to discover something, pointing at Kishibe Rohan and exclaiming, "You're Kishibe Rohan-sensei? The manga artist Kishibe Rohan!"
"Nani? You know me?"
This exclamation did attract Kishibe Rohan's attention; it was a very excited young boy holding a manga book.
Seeing Kishibe Rohan's reaction, he immediately became even more excited, "That's right, that's right, Kishibe Rohan-sensei, I've been following your manga. I can't believe I'm meeting you today. Please sign my manga."
"Oh, a fan of mine?"
Kishibe Rohan also became interested; he stood up directly, took the manga, and looked at it for a moment, seeing that it was his latest published manga.
"Oh, is that okay, Sensei? Will this not be too much trouble for you?"
As the young boy recognized Kishibe Rohan, many pedestrians on the street also gathered around, "Wow, it really is that famous manga artist! I can't believe he came here to gather material."
"Yes, yes, I'm also a fan of your manga. Could you please sign mine too?"
Surveying his fans, Kishibe Rohan couldn't help but let a slight smile escape; he smiled faintly, "Of course I can sign, one by one."
At the same time, he pulled out a pen, picked up the manga, and with a flourish, wrote the four large characters 'Kishibe Rohan' on it.
After writing and returning the manga to the fan, he didn't forget to add, "Also, I'm not here to gather material; I live here, Morioh, Green Hill 4-chome 5-banchi 15-go. If you have a sufficiently interesting story, you can come here to find me."
"I'm currently writing a new manga about a detective manga artist tracking down a perverted serial killer who murdered 48 young girls and has been hiding in the Town for 15 years. If anyone can provide me with inspiration, I will give the person who provides the story a substantial reward. Hmm, I can offer 10 million Japanese Yen."
"Oh, really?! That much money!"
"Oh, what, Sensei, do you also live in this Town? Can I visit?!"
"Wow, so much money, Sensei, I have an idea now..."
"Of course it's real. You can visit if you want, but you'll have to wait a bit; I have things to do today. If you have an idea, come tomorrow. I'll be at home all day tomorrow, waiting for the stories you bring me."
Looking at the excited circle of fans in front of him and some passersby with money-grubbing expressions, Kishibe Rohan decided to go to the local newspaper and radio station later to announce this bounty, and it had to be broadcast at the most popular time.
He smiled happily because he realized that searching for information himself was ultimately slow, but with his ability, he could search for information on a large scale within people's minds.
Moreover, as soon as this news broke, the serial killer, hearing about it, would know that he had received the information and would definitely come to silence him.
And with his Heaven's Door ability, as long as he placed manga manuscripts in some necessary locations beforehand... then all problems would be solved.
Meanwhile, Kira Yoshikage had circled around without finding Kishibe Rohan's house, consistently failing to find a building that matched Kishibe Rohan's house from the original.
However, he did find the restaurant he had been looking for yesterday, that Italian restaurant with exquisite cuisine, which was open right in front of him.
Indeed, he remembered that this restaurant and the mangaka's house were almost in adjacent areas.
Since he had come all this way, he had to try it.
Getting out of the car and casually closing the door, Kira Yoshikage walked directly into the restaurant, intending to savor the delicious Italian food.
At the same time, he was also contemplating whether he could get Higashikata Josuke and his group to eliminate the mangaka.
From his father's words, they had already heard the news that Fatty had been killed by him, but they didn't know he was the culprit. Tsk, making someone disappear indeed still had an impact; in that case, he would try to shift this impact onto Kishibe Rohan.
