“In short, the Regel in Edo Street is just a bait to distract us, and the real Regel has already left here.
I still don’t know exactly what went wrong, but I think he probably knows where Shirley is hiding…”
Regarding what you said yesterday
Not to mention the special relationship between Mary and Shirakawa Kiyoshi, just based on Mary's behavior, it would be unreasonable for Shirakawa Kiyoshi to kill her son.
It has been mentioned more than once in the article that no matter how much Mary suspected or wanted to investigate over the past ten years, she never caused any trouble to Bai Heqing's family. When Andrew met Xiaoying, he did not do anything to her and even cared about her as an elder.
When confronting Shirakawa Jing in Edo Street, Mary immediately relaxed her stance the moment she guessed Shirakawa Jing's identity. Even when her men rushed out and wanted to shoot, Mary's first reaction was to pounce on Shirakawa Jing (but Shirakawa Jing reacted faster and jumped into the river to escape).
Mary did her best to avoid any impact on Shirakawa Qing's family, and was very concerned about his children. However, Shirakawa Qing shot her eldest son twice. For Shirakawa Qing, who was very sentimental, this character was really ruined...
He could kill Bourbon and Kil without blinking an eye because they had nothing to do with him, but Mary was different.
As for Shirakawa Jing, she has always followed Shirakawa Qing's principles. As the only person who knows Shirakawa Qing's physical condition (now Mary has to be added), everything she does is to hope that Shirakawa Qing will get better (this point will not change, and all the places that readers feel do not conform to this point now are foreshadowings waiting to be revealed in the end)
Chapter 529 Mom, I have a surprise for you
"I still don't know what went wrong, but Regel probably knows where Shirley is hiding."
"Then isn't Shirley in danger now?!"
In Edo Street, after hearing Mary's words in the headphones, Carly asked in a lost voice.
While they were chasing the fake Regal around the streets of Edo, the real Regal had quietly left and headed towards where Shirley was hiding?!
Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai quickly suppressed the shock on his face, pulled Carly towards the entrance of Edo Street with a gloomy expression.
"Before contacting you, I have already contacted the operatives I arranged to stay near Dr. Agasa's home."
Mary's voice in the headset was a little hurried. Obviously, she was also in a hurry to leave Edo Street.
“But without exception, they can no longer be contacted.”
What this means is obvious.
It is very likely that those operatives who remained behind have already been dealt with.
Of course, Mary also contacted Dr. Agasa, and during the call with Dr. Agasa, she heard the sound of the doorbell ringing. At the same time, she also vaguely heard the male voice that was very familiar to her, talking to Kudo Yukiko.
Afterwards, her communication with Dr. Agasa was forced to be interrupted.
Although she called several more times afterwards, there was no signal on Dr. Agasa's end and she couldn't get through.
At this point, Mary knew that the worst had happened.
Shirakawa Kiyoshi escaped from Edo Street right under their noses, and very smoothly eliminated the operatives she left near Dr. Agasa's house, without even giving them a chance to pass on this information to her.
If she hadn't seen the clues from Bai Hejing, they probably wouldn't have realized it until now.
But even if Mary reacted, it might be too late...
At this moment, Shirakawa Kiyoshi has successfully arrived at Dr. Agasa's house, but they... are still stranded in Edo Street.
By the time they hurried over, Bai Heqing had already disappeared...
Obviously, this operation ended in their complete failure. Not only did they fail to capture Baihe Qing, but they also lost Shirley.
【As expected of you...】
Mary took this very well.
But there is no need to feel depressed, after all, depression cannot solve the problem.
She now only hopes that at least Kudo Yukiko, who is also at Dr. Agasa's house, can get some clues, so that it will be easier for her to track down Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Shirley later...
Mary was not worried about the safety of Kudo Yukiko. After all, Shirakawa Kiyoshi was a very sentimental person. Given the relationship between the Shirakawa and Kudo families, he would never do anything to Kudo Yukiko.
"Okay, we'll go there right away."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Carly hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Afterwards, she contacted Conan again, wanting to pass on this information to him as well.
The guy just sent a text message saying that he had met with the two undercover agents in the organization, Bourbon and Kiel, and the three of them were discussing how to assist them in arresting Regel.
After all, they are all friendly forces on the same front, so we can't just pat our butts and walk away, although Britain has always had this traditional operation...
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, Carly suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her. Before she could respond, Akai Shuichi beside her suddenly reached out and pushed her away, then quickly turned around and threw a punch.
The surprise attack failed, and Shirakawa Shizuka quickly retracted her hand and blocked Akai Shuichi's fierce counterattack with her elbow.
Shuichi Akai took advantage of the situation and attacked, punching out fiercely one after another, while Shirakawa Shizuka kept blocking and retreating.
Finally, he seized the opportunity, and when Akai Shuichi threw another punch, he quickly raised his hand to push away his wrist, then used his other hand to gather strength and punch him in the chest, forcing him back several steps.
The two people finally pulled away from each other and now finally had the chance to take a look at each other.
"who are you?"
Shuichi Akai took a deep breath to calm his breathing, and looked at Shirakawa Shizuka in front of him with serious eyes.
Although it was only a brief fight, it was enough for him to realize that the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him had considerable strength.
Not only did his previous attack fail to defeat the opponent, but in the end he was beaten back.
To be honest, Shuichi Akai is still very confident in his own strength, and there are not many opponents who can achieve this level in front of him.
【Mary's son.】
Shirakawa Shizuka did not answer him, but just glanced at Akai Shuichi, and then looked at Carly who was beside him and was also looking at her warily.
Because of Baihe Ying, Baihe Jing has put on a new disguise mask and is wearing a windbreaker, which is completely different from her image of Qingshui Jing.
"I... want to ask you something." Looking at Carly, Shirakawa Jing spoke.
She had already left Edo Street, but had to come back because of her sister.
Of course, Shirakawa Jing had no complaints about this, because there were some things she really wanted to know.
Bai Heying's proposal made her excited.
"who are you?"
This time it was Carly who spoke.
She recalled it carefully in her mind, but she couldn't remember any intersection between her and the person in front of her.
"Come with me."
Without any intention of answering the two men, Bai Hejing spoke again: "I don't want to hurt anyone."
This is the truth. Among the two people in front of her, she knew Shuichi Akai, and according to the information that Shirakawa Ying had told her before, Carly should be the little girl rescued by Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Mary ten years ago.
These two people are closely related to Mary. Given the special relationship between Shirakawa Qing and Mary, unless Shirakawa Qing nodded and told her to get rid of them, she would not do anything to these two people casually.
But the problem is that she came back secretly this time and Bai Heqing didn't know about it.
Xiao Rui had already explained on the phone that there were some necessary matters that they had to ask Carly for clarification.
Only in this way can they be sure to take the next step...
"Humph!"
Akai Shuichi sneered and took up his stance again.
“How arrogant.”
And the same is true for Carly.
Looking at the two of them like this, Bai Hejing sighed softly.
We have to take action eventually.
"excuse me……"
At the same time, at another exit of Mihua Street, Sharon, who had just changed her disguise and got out, suddenly took out her cell phone and looked down at it.
The caller ID above is "Little Girl".
[Xiaoying? This child should still be in the United States, right?]
Walking to a secluded corner, Sharon answered the phone.
"Xiaoying, what's wrong?" Sharon asked gently.
"Mom, I want to tell you something." Bai Heying said with a smile on the other end of the phone, and her tone seemed very happy.
This made Sharon feel relieved.
Two days ago, Bai Heying suddenly called her and asked her a lot of questions about Mary, and even mentioned Bai Heqing's funeral ten years ago.
But Sharon, who didn't want to involve her in the organization's mess, did not answer her doubts at that time.
Because of this reason, Bai Heying had a big fight with her on the phone.
Sharon was quite surprised to hear Bai Heying's happy tone. She had thought that her overly curious little daughter would be angry for a while before calling her...
"What's the matter? Do you have to call mom to tell her?" Thinking of this, Sharon asked with a smile.
"Haha, actually, I'm back to Japan now." Baihe Ying replied.
"Eh?"
This surprised Sharon. Although she wanted to say something, she couldn't say anything after hearing Bai Heying's happy tone. She just asked:
"Are you still planning on staying at that Maori detective's place?"
This statement is not entirely correct. Shirakawa Ying rents her own house in Tokyo, but she does work as an assistant to Kogoro Mori and gets paid for it.
"Yeah, that's indeed the plan at the moment."
I don’t know what good thing happened to her, but Sharon always felt that the little girl’s tone seemed particularly happy.
"By the way, Mom, I have a surprise for you."
"What surprise?" Sharon asked. Knowing her daughter well, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“A huge surprise!”
Bai Heying's tone became more and more excited, even with a hint of pride.
"Mom, you'll know if you look back!"
