"If you, Jing, knew everything, would it still be considered new?"
Okay, very naughty, his fists are hard.
"Of course, Regel did ask the two of us to execute it together in the beginning..."
Suddenly, his expression became serious, and he stopped talking nonsense. Meishu explained truthfully:
"But I think it's just an unimportant task. There's no need for both of us to go over there. Plus, there are a lot of people getting in the way on your side, so I'll take on this task myself."
The "troublemakers" she referred to were naturally the Suzuki sisters and the Mori family.
"What is the mission?" Qingshui Jing asked, even though this was somewhat against the rules within the organization.
Members of the organization have never been allowed to ask or inquire about tasks that are not related to themselves. When Bourbon did this before, he was scolded by Gin.
Most of the time, Qingshui Jing would always abide by these rules that he didn't actually need to abide by, but the situation was special now.
"It just depends on the situation and whether or not to deal with the two traitors." Since he asked, Meishu just replied casually.
"Bourbon and Kiel?"
Qingshui Jing immediately guessed who the traitor she was talking about was.
In this place in Edo Street, there could only be these two people.
Come to think of it, these two people are still stranded in Edo Street.
[Why are we suddenly going to attack them...]
Although I have this doubt in my mind, now is obviously not the time to think about it.
"Hmmmm~"
Meishu smiled but did not explain further.
"Anyway, Jing, you should leave first. I'll deal with this matter before I leave."
"Then you be careful." After hesitating, Qingshui Jing reminded.
"No problem, remember to bring my friend along."
Just like that, both of them hung up the phone.
Although he was somewhat worried about the strength of Bourbon and Kiel, considering that the two of them certainly didn't know that they were about to be dealt with by the organization, the probability of Umeshu's sneak attack being successful was extremely high, so Shimizu Shizuka didn't worry too much.
After ending the call, he quickly came to the third floor of the locker room. The previous explosion in the guesthouse did not have much impact here. In a warehouse on the third floor, Shizuka Shizuka found the spare masks that Suzuki Ayako had told him about.
Qingshui Jing took a bag of masks and quickly left the floor, heading towards the guesthouse.
On one wall of the waiting area on the first floor of the locker room, there is a large grooming mirror. It is located in a very conspicuous position and can be seen when entering and leaving the locker room. It is placed here specifically for tourists to tidy up their appearance.
When she came in just now, Qingshui Shizuka didn't pay much attention to it because she was talking to Umeshu.
When he walked past the big mirror again, he subconsciously looked at himself in the mirror.
This sight made Bai Hejing stand there in a daze.
With her extraordinary vision, she could see very clearly that there was a long crack on the lower cheek of the disguise mask on her face? !
He quickly raised his hand and touched the crack. The special feeling on his fingers confirmed what Bai Hejing saw.
This crack on the disguise mask is real!
【When did this happen? 】
His pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Bai Hejing stood there in a daze. His mind, which had always been extremely calm, suddenly became a little confused at this moment.
Was it when she disguised herself as Shirakawa Kiyoshi as bait? Was it when she was chased by those men in suits? Was it when she was avoiding Akai Shuichi's sniper? Or when she fought with Mary? Or when she swam back from the river?
When did the mask break? Why didn't she notice it before? Was she too focused on the task? Did she accidentally overlook it?
No, calm down. There is no point in pursuing these issues now.
[The point now is…]
Looking up at herself in the mirror again, Bai Hejing clearly saw the panic in her eyes at the moment.
[Did Ayako notice this? ]
She looked down at the pack of masks in her hand and suddenly recalled Suzuki Ayako's somewhat abnormal expression in the hall before.
Why did Ayako suddenly ask her about their first meeting, and why did she use such a nonsensical reason to ask her to come to the locker room to get a mask?
In his mind, the somewhat flustered and frightened expression of Suzuki Ayako in the hall gradually emerged.
Bai Hejing's face was pale, and the panic in her eyes could not be concealed at all. She slowly raised her trembling hands and covered her mouth with force.
What should she do?
Chapter 510 The secret may have been hidden ten years ago
When Shizuka Shizuka returned to the lobby of the guest house again, Kogoro Mori and his family had already been awakened by Ayako Suzuki.
Even the famous actress Hoshino Terumi, who came with Okino Yoko and some other people who survived the explosion in the guesthouse, were awakened from their coma.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, it just hurts a little..."
Just after waking up the three little members of the Junior Detective League, Suzuki Ayako seemed to suddenly realize something and turned around to look behind her.
Not far behind her, Qingshui Jing appeared in the hall at some point, wearing a mask and looking at her quietly.
Her fiancé's footsteps were so light that no one in the hall noticed his presence.
The moment Suzuki Ayako looked over, Shimizu Shizuka quickly looked away, as if avoiding looking at her.
His reaction made Suzuki Ayako stunned for a moment. At the same time, looking at Shizuka Shizuka putting on a mask on her own initiative, she immediately guessed the reason.
[I've already noticed that...]
"Jingjun, have you found the mask?" Suzuki Ayako stood up and asked him with a smile.
"Um……"
After being called by Suzuki Ayako, Shizuka Shizuka hesitated, but finally walked over.
"What's wrong? Did you run into someone in the locker room? You look so serious."
"Huh?! Are those terrorists still hiding in the locker room?" Suzuki Sonoko, who was supporting Mouri Ran, asked fearfully after hearing the voice.
"No, there is no one there..."
After comforting everyone, Shizuo Shizu looked at Suzuki Ayako in front of her with a hesitant look in her eyes and said:
"Ayako, I..."
"Since everything is alright, let's leave here first."
Suzuki Ayako interrupted him, stepped forward, held his hand, looked into his eyes, smiled and said softly:
"No matter what happened, let's wait until we leave here and go back to talk about it."
She must have seen it.
Suzuki Ayako's answer made Shizuka Shizuka even more afraid to look her in the eyes.
it is good. "
After hesitating, he finally nodded.
A little earlier in time, on the riverside street of Edo Street, after Shirakawa Jing jumped into the river and escaped, Mary was still standing by the river, with her eyes lowered, thinking.
Ever since she confirmed that "Baihe Qing" was "Regel", she had been thinking about what had caused Baihe Qing to fake his death for the second time ten years ago.
Her intuition told her that this secret might be the reason why Reger came to Japan this time.
Eliminate herself first.
Ten years ago, she and Shirakawa Kiyoshi suddenly met on a holiday beach in San Francisco. Although Shirakawa Kiyoshi looked very surprised and unbelievable at the time, Mary did not think that this meeting between the two would lead to Shirakawa Kiyoshi faking his death again. It was insufficiently motivated and illogical.
At that time, Shirakawa Kiyoshi planned his second fake death within a very short time after going to London with her again and returning to San Francisco.
That’s right, a very short time, less than a week.
It happened in such a short period of time, and before that, Baihe Qing had not even shown any signs related to it.
Not only that, at least before he went to London with Mary, he probably had no such thoughts at all.
She was so sure because she remembered the conversation she had with Shirakawa Kiyoshi on the flight to London.
[So what have you been doing all these years? ]
【Squatting at home. 】
Shirakawa Kiyoshi said this in a tone that seemed to be teasing herself, which surprised Mary a little.
After all, in her memory, Bai Heqing always had a blank expression on his face, and his face rarely showed such rich expressions, let alone such a teasing tone.
However, people change, and it had been twenty-two years since the last time they met.
During this period, although Mary occasionally saw Shirakawa Kiyoshi in Japanese media newspapers, the two had never met in person.
【Just kidding.】
After a brief teasing, Shirakawa Qing answered her again in a seemingly serious tone.
[Sharon has some companies under her name, and I help her run them.]
Sharon Wynyard was the beautiful silver-haired woman who also appeared on the resort beach at the time. Mary knew her, of course. She was a famous American actress, and she had even watched many TV series and movies starring Sharon before.
It is normal for a big star like this to have several companies under his name.
[However, Sharon and I are planning to retire soon and hand over the company to others.]
As if he had thought of something, Bai Heqing spoke to her again.
【why? 】
[The reason is not complicated. After all, I am no longer a young person. I really don’t want to live a life of hard work all day long…]
[Really? They all look like they’re only in their early thirties, but I didn’t expect their mentality to be so old…]
Hearing what he said, Mary also laughed and teased.
This was not a flattery, but at that time, Shirakawa Kiyomi looked only about 30 years old.
