Blackmail.


| General Qiu – no mistake.
You don't know who I am but I know everything about you and your family.
I happen to have your criminal records at hand. The official ones, straight out the Imperial Guards' hq. It would be a shame if they suddenly were made public, isn't it?
If you do not want that to happen, you better follow my instructions very carefully and not try any trick with me.
You see the map behind this letter? That's where you have to go, with 150 gold at hand. You'll find a wooden box. Put the gold inside and leave.
You'll hear from me again afterwards. |

The letter is sent to TiHao's magic mail amulet during the night. It doesn't have a signature nor anything that could suggest who might have sent it.
There is no symbol either.
Inside the envelope there is just the paper with letter and map, which indicates a very specific area in the outskirts of Shiirhuang. It's an uninhabited zone, with some rubbles of old houses and stables. A rural area, overall.

LaNii "Why are you giving me these worries for no reasons now? I didn't do anything wrong, I'm sure of it." He is surely not the type who thinks to have done something wrong if he knows he didn't.
"They'd only thank you falsely, then. This must be another price of fame, when they say that people are never honest with you if you are famous!" He snorts, joking.
"We have been investigating for less than one day, actually, we didn't even start the real stuff."
He shrugs. "I guess that she is in Shiinden?"

Yokai "I'm teasing you." He pushes him a little in a friendly way. "It's probably alright, don't worry. It has been long enough to prove it is not a game.
I bet they would. How couldn't they be honest for such a thing...I'd only dry all their garden for a meaningless reason." He snorts too after a bit.
"It is still taking too long for my tastes." He is getting blackmailed, so he is even more impatient than usual. He is not even too focused as he should, due to everything. He rubs his forehead nervously.
"Arasseo." He takes another quick look around, hoping there is really no one who shouldn't noticed their presence there. "Let's hire her."

LaNii He snorts at his words. "Don't tease me about that, it's quite a delicate matter to joke about." He takes a deep breath. For a second he felt his hair turning white.
"It would give them a great Zimkeshalhor vibe though, if they are into Halloween decorations they might appreciate for real!" If they are Addams family, for example.
"Arayo, it's not an easy situation and you are stressed. But as I said, we didn't even start the investigation at all, we just followed a couple of people who were likely just paid to do the risky jobs."

Yokai "I didn't know it was so delicate for you." He is surprised by his reaction. "Is everything really alright?
They could as well buy land on Fengshii near my previous home and they'd get all of it too, without the honour a General peed in their garden.
Ne..." He rubs his forehead and sighs. "With this situation, I can't relax. I don't know what is going to happen with TiHae, WonPil...it had to happen now that this piece of shit had to try to blackmail me. When I catch him, I swear..." He clenches his fist.

LaNii "It's just that everything is so... different from me and I don't have an example to follow either. I just can give for granted that things are the way I perceive them..."
He shrugs. "It would be a good way to repopulate the zone. How many inhabitants are there in the whole county, 47?"
He looks down. "I understand your frustration. Maybe the reason it happened just now is a clue itself. We should think about it. Could it be someone who knows of the recent tragedies and is taking profit of it?"
He pats his shoulder. "I wouldn't want to be in them, at that point."
