He remembered again the MI6 agent who had followed Rum's trail all the way in the Hiroshi Haneda case seven years ago.
"By the way, Baihe, if you have nothing else to do, how about coming with me to London again?"
Mary's voice came again, but Shirakawa Qing's brain was now occupied by the memory of seven years ago.
Even by Shirakawa Kiyoshi's standards, that agent was an extremely talented person. Perhaps that was why, after he had dealt with the other party, he suddenly had the urge to look through the man's clothes, wanting to know his name.
Akai Wuwu.
Seven years ago, Shirakawa Qing found such a driver's license on the body of the agent he killed.
In addition to the name, he also saw a family photo.
In that photo, next to Akai Tsutomu was Mary, whom Shirakawa Kiyoshi recognized at first sight, and two young boys.
Shirakawa Kiyoshi realized at that moment that he had inadvertently made a fatal mistake.
"it is good."
With these distracting thoughts filling his mind, Bai Heqing nodded subconsciously and agreed to Mary's proposal.
This flashback ends here.
Although many readers previously believed that Shirakawa Kiyoshi was Akai Mutake, unfortunately, he was not. Not only that, Akai Mutake was killed by him seven years ago...
Chapter 505: Fleeting Killing Intent
"Ah Jing, is that you?"
Back to normal time, in Beika Edo Street, Mary had a brief fight with the disguised Shirakawa Shizuka and tentatively guessed her identity.
When Shirakawa Jing, who was originally confronting Mary, heard Mary calling out her nickname, her pupils suddenly shrank.
She finally remembered. No wonder she felt that Mary in front of her was familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before...
Because they had really seen her before, on a holiday beach in San Francisco ten years ago. The blonde woman who suddenly appeared seemed to be familiar to Shirakawa Qing.
Realizing this, Bai Hejing was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Before acting as the bait, Shirakawa Jing had certainly anticipated the scene of meeting friends that Shirakawa Kiyoshi used to know. After all, even Shirakawa Kiyoshi himself had confirmed this.
But she didn't expect that the other party could actually guess her identity from this.
"Baihe is indeed not dead, right?" Mary became more certain of her guess when she noticed Shirakawa Jing's hesitation.
She looked at Bai Hejing, relaxed a little, and asked again: "He is the member of the Black Organization codenamed Regel, right?"
Bai Hejing still did not respond, but the hesitation in her heart had quickly turned into another kind of hesitation at this moment.
She was hesitating, wondering whether to get rid of Mary right now.
This was not a lie. The questions Mary asked her were enough to show that Mary had equated the two identities of "Baihe Qing" and "Reger".
Ten years ago, precisely because he wanted to avoid this situation, Baihe Qing planned his second fake death, trying to make the identity of "Baihe Qing" die completely in front of the world.
And he was basically successful. After the fake death ten years ago, the only people in the world who knew that Shirakawa Qing was still alive and that he was Regel's man were Shirakawa Jing and Sharon.
Apart from that, there are either people like Mary who have doubts in their hearts but have no way to prove it, or people like her sister Shirakawa Ying who firmly believes it.
This is an extremely dangerous signal.
Mary has realized and confirmed the relationship between "Kiyori Shirakawa" and "Reger". Once she wants to expose this, everyone around Kiyori Shirakawa may encounter unimaginable troubles.
Therefore, in Shirakawa Jing's opinion, getting rid of Mary, a very dangerous bomb, here was a very appropriate choice, and it was not impossible.
Although Mary had shown considerable fighting ability in their brief confrontation just now, Shirakawa Jing was still confident that she could defeat her opponent, and it would just take a little more effort.
What really made her hesitate was Bai Heqing's attitude.
Although the specific story between Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary is not very clear, Shirakawa Jing also knows that the two are old acquaintances with a good relationship, at least they used to be.
Otherwise, Bai Heqing would not have followed Mary to London again ten years ago just because of Mary's words, and Mary would not have been brooding over Bai Heqing's death for so many years.
This is where Bai Hejing hesitated.
She was unsure of Shirakawa Kiyoshi's attitude toward Mary, and was not sure whether he would approve of her killing Mary.
"What about you?"
Just when Shirakawa Jing was hesitating, Mary looked at her and continued to ask:
"Ah Jing, what role did you play in that black organization?"
“When I was in Andrew Kingdom, I met Sharon and Xiaoying.”
Seeing that Bai Hejing still had no intention of responding to her, Mary spoke again.
"It was such a coincidence that the two of them appeared there, and I was convinced that there must be a special relationship between Baihe and Regel.
Until now, I saw you here again... The answer to the matter is already very obvious, Ah Jing, tell me, where is Bai He now?"
【What? ! 】
Mary didn't know that her words eventually prompted Shirakawa Jing to let go of her murderous intent.
Because she realized that the relationship between Mary and her father might be better than she had guessed.
At least, Mary would not attack people around him just because she wanted to find or catch Shirakawa Qing.
Otherwise, Mary would have taken action as early as the time in the Kingdom of Andrew, and it would have been impossible for Bai Heying to leave safely.
And after eliminating this most dangerous point in Shirakawa Jing's opinion, she no longer had any reason to get rid of Mary here.
This matter should be decided by Shirakawa Kiyoshi, not her.
[In that case, let’s find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. ]
"He's here!"
At this moment, the men in suits who had been left behind by Shirakawa Jing finally caught up here.
"shot!"
When these people rushed out from the corner and saw Bai Hejing confronting Mary, they raised their pistols and pulled the trigger at her without hesitation.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Mary hurriedly called out to stop them and rushed towards Bai Hejing, seemingly wanting to knock her down.
However, Bai Hejing's reaction was even quicker. When the men in suits rushed out, she realized that this was a good opportunity to escape, so she immediately turned around and ran towards the river on the side of the street.
"Boom!"
"Pfft!"
Even after Mary's shouting, two gunshots were heard, followed by the sound of Bai Hejing jumping into the river.
When Mary rushed to the river, there was no movement underwater, only ripples on the surface.
Mary hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go into the water to chase.
She stood by the river and sighed softly.
The reason why she didn't go after her was not only because Shirakawa Jing's strength was stronger than she expected, but more importantly, Mary didn't want to reverse the priorities.
She did not forget that the most important thing now was to find Bai Hejing rather than continue to get entangled with his daughter. After all, Bai Hejing was obviously a bait deliberately released to attract her attention.
Although Mary did not get any information from Shirakawa Jing, she was sure of at least one thing.
The mysterious detective who appeared in the lobby of the guest house before, no matter whether he was Bai Heqing or not, it was the result of Bai Heqing's intention.
With his extremely keen sense of danger, Baihe Qing is very likely to have realized the true purpose of the Garden Operation Plan.
Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and deliberately revealed his identity... Or maybe it couldn't be said to be an exposure, after all, he just said the name "Baihe Qing", and there are people with the same name in the world, so the careless listeners naturally wouldn't think too much about it.
But for those who really know the inside story, this has extraordinary significance...
It was with this very simple and direct trick that Shirakawa Kiyoshi successfully attracted their attention, and then he and his daughter staged an identity exchange drama, trapping them all in this Edo street.
There is no doubt that this is Shirakawa Kiyoshi's purpose.
But, what is his purpose in doing this?
Chapter 506 It’s not time to make a decision yet
On the other side, after Bai Hejing jumped into the stream, she was slightly relieved to see that Mary did not catch up with her.
She swam hundreds of meters in the river in one breath before floating to the surface and climbing onto the shore.
There was no one on the nearby streets. Bai Hejing walked towards the guest house carefully and quickly, while taking out her far-leading high-performance special waterproof mobile phone, quickly typed a line of words and sent it out.
[My disguise has been exposed.]
Soon, there was a response from the recipient.
[It doesn't matter. I've already left Edo Street. That's enough. ]
It was obvious that she was in contact with Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
Without hesitation, after getting a response from Shirakawa Qing, Shirakawa Jing quickly told her about Mary's situation.
[I also met Mary, she was also on this Edo Street, I suspect she might be an important member of that mysterious organization. ]
This time, Bai Heqing did not reply to her immediately. She waited until Bai Hejing arrived near the guesthouse and changed into Qingshuijing's clothes in the room where she had changed clothes before. Only then did she finally receive Bai Heqing's reply.
[Did she realize your identity? ]
Her father always had an extremely keen sense in these matters, and he realized it even though she had only said that she had met Mary.
[Yes, Mary was convinced that you were Regel. She has been tracking your whereabouts for the past few years. When she was in the Kingdom of Andrew, she also met Xiaoying... But I personally think that she has no intention of revealing this information.]
After hesitating, Shirakawa Jing added this last sentence.
Her words sounded like she was defending Mari, as if she didn't want Shirakawa Kiyoshi to kill Mari.
Thinking of this, Bai Hejing suddenly shook her head and smiled.
Did she not want Mary to die, or did she not want Mary to die at the hands of Shirakawa Kiyoshi?
These are two questions with fundamentally different meanings.
[Are you out of this situation now? ]
Baihe Qing's reply came, but the topic shifted to her.
