Although he called her to go with him, Bai Heqing did not help her open the car door, but walked straight towards the villa.
"wait wait wait……"
Seeing this, Miyano Shiho was deeply moved by her parents' affairs, so she quickly opened the car door and chased after them.
"What exactly did my mother leave for me?" After catching up to Shirakawa Qing, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask in a cold voice after a brief hesitation.
"I'm not sure about the details, but it seems like some tapes." Not paying attention to her deliberate tone, Bai Heqing replied seriously.
"If that's the case, why didn't you give it to me before?" she asked.
She also knew that Bai Heqing had a good relationship with her parents in the past. If there really was such a thing, Bai Heqing should have given it to her long ago.
"Because your mother didn't give those things to me for safekeeping, she gave them to your sister..."
Chapter 544: Did Mingmei come back?
When Miyano Shiho heard Shirakawa Kiyoshi mention her sister, she who had just spoken a few words suddenly fell silent again and just followed him silently.
"Ding dong~"
The two of them walked to the door of the villa together. Bai Heqing tore off the disguise mask on his face, straightened his clothes, and then reached out and rang the doorbell.
"coming."
A man came over upon hearing the sound, opened the door and looked at Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho standing outside with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hello, may I ask..."
"I have made an appointment with your president, Mr. Dejima, and I will visit him today." Shirakawa Qing replied with a smile.
"Oh! You are the Mr. Lei that the president mentioned, right? Please come in, the president is inside now..."
The man suddenly realized what was going on and quickly welcomed Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho in.
"President! Mr. Lei is here!"
The man led the two people to the door of the innermost bedroom on the first floor with a sign that read "President's Studio".
In these short few tens of seconds, Miyano Shiho had been quietly observing the situation inside the villa.
Although there are many work desks, books and other miscellaneous items inside the villa, the overall decoration style is still that of an ordinary residence.
Baihe Qing said that this was where her parents used to live, but she had no impression of it at all and her sister had never mentioned it to her.
And the relics his mother left for her...had they always been kept in this place?
"Please come in."
While Miyano Shiho was lost in thought, a male voice was heard from the bedroom. Shirakawa Kiyoshi took her into the bedroom, where an elderly man was sitting.
The man was wearing a brown suit, was obese, had gray hair, a goatee on his chin, and wore glasses, a typical image of a wealthy middle-aged or elderly man.
He should be the current owner of this villa, Mr. Dejima.
"You are Mr. Lei, right? Come, take a seat."
Mr. Dejima glanced at Shirakawa Qing, then immediately stood up and smiled and asked him to sit on the sofa opposite.
"I heard you say before that you are a friend of Miyano Atsushi?"
Miyano Atsushi is the name of Miyano Shiho's father.
Hearing his question, Miyano Shiho quickly raised her head and looked at him curiously.
This person...knows her father?
"Yes."
Baihe Qing nodded slightly and replied: "Whether it is Mr. Hou Si or Ms. Elena, they are both my good friends. We have cooperated on a lot of research."
He didn't lie when he said this.
"I see. Mr. Lei is really young and promising..."
Upon hearing that such an unimaginably "young" man like Shirakawa Kiyoshi had actually had research collaboration with the once famous scientist Miyano Atsushi, Mr. Dejima's face immediately showed admiration.
But then, he looked at Miyano Shiho, who was sitting next to Shirakawa Kiyoshi and didn't say a word. She looked familiar to him.
"Then this little girl is..."
"Mr. Dejima, this villa used to belong to Mr. Atsushi, right?" Without answering his question, Shirakawa Kiyoshi asked.
"Ah, that's right..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Dejima suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Atsushi and I have been friends since childhood, and this villa has always belonged to the Miyano family. It was bought about 17 or 18 years ago when I was looking for a place to open an office and Atsushi was about to move to another place.
Because both parties were just right, Hou Si rented this villa to me, and it has been almost 20 years since then. During these years, Hou Si has never come to me to ask for rent..."
Hearing his words, Miyano Shiho lowered her head.
Of course she knew why, because after that, her parents accepted the organization's invitation and were placed under close surveillance by the organization. They never returned until their death.
After looking at Miyano Shiho, Shirakawa Kiyoshi continued to ask:
"Has Mr. Housi really never come back since he rented this villa to you?"
"Well, that's not entirely true. I actually came back once..."
Noticing Shirakawa Kiyoshi's actions, Mr. Dejima quickly replied.
"It was almost when the villa was just renovated, and he brought his foreign wife and daughter with him. We hadn't seen each other for several years before he came to take over the house, so when I saw his wife, I was almost scared, haha...
I remember Atsushi's wife was called Elena. She seemed to be an introvert and never spoke to us.
But his daughter Mingmei is a lively child. Although they only stayed here for one night, they really made a lot of trouble for us..."
"Only stayed for one night?" Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ah."
Looking at her, Mr. Dejima replied with a smile, "Atsushi seemed very anxious at the time. They stayed on the second floor of the villa that night. I remember when I went up to find him, he kept looking at his watch and out the window...
Then, early the next morning, a black car arrived outside the villa and took Hou Si and his family away."
[A black car? Could it be the organization?]
Miyano Shiho glanced at Shirakawa Qing beside her, but saw that Shirakawa Qing was just looking at her with a smile.
"But speaking of it..." Suddenly, after a brief recollection, Mr. Dejima spoke again:
“I remember Hou Si once said that he wanted to do a very special research, but he needed a large financial consortium to provide him with financial support.
Thinking about it this way, the black car that came to pick them up should have belonged to the big consortium he found, right?
But I don’t know why, that black car gave me an uncomfortable feeling, I always felt that he didn’t look like a decent person, and I don’t know if Hou Si…”
"Don't worry." Before he finished speaking, Shirakawa Qing said, "Mr. Atsushi is currently conducting a secret research abroad. His family is living well now."
He never blushed or felt nervous when telling lies, and Miyano Shiho just glanced at him coldly.
"Oh! That's good..."
Mr. Dejima nodded repeatedly without doubting what Shirakawa Kiyoshi said.
"So he went abroad? No wonder he hasn't come back for so many years. I thought..."
Mr. Dejima did not continue. He looked at Baihe Qing again and asked tentatively, "Mr. Lei, why are you here this time..."
The two of them have been talking about Miyano Atsushi's past since just now, which made him a little confused. You didn't come to me just to ask about Miyano Atsushi, did you?
of course not.
What just happened was just what Shirakawa Kiyoshi wanted to tell Miyano Shiho through him.
What follows is the main topic.
"Mr. Dejima, did Mingmei come back here more than half a year ago?" Shirakawa Qing asked with a smile.
Chapter 545 The mysterious gunshot that night
Ten years ago, after Shirakawa Kiyoshi got the special tape that Elena left for him from Miyano Akemi, he also learned from Miyano Akemi that Elena also left a lot of tapes for her little daughter Miyano Shiho.
According to Akemi Miyano, these tapes were specially prepared by Elena before she died in the fire, and they contained birthday wishes from Elena to Shiho Miyano.
Logically, Shirakawa Kiyoshi could have brought all these things to Miyano Shiho, but he didn't do so, and Miyano Akemi didn't want him to do so either.
The reason is very simple. Since it is a relic left behind by Elena, Shirakawa Kiyoshi would rather her elder sister Miyano Akemi hand it over to her personally at the right time, and Miyano Akemi has the same idea.
In Shirakawa Kiyoshi's opinion, the right time was when Miyano Shiho completed the research on the "Silver Bullet" and was arranged by him to be sent out of the organization.
And Akemi Miyano might be planning to wait until her sister comes of age before giving it to her.
In this way, the two people with the same purpose kept this secret from Miyano Shiho. As a result, this secret prevented Miyano Akemi from giving these tapes to her sister...
After Miyano Akemi got into trouble, the whereabouts of these tapes became a mystery. After all, Shirakawa Kiyoshi had never asked about it, so he naturally had no idea where Miyano Akemi had put these things.
The turning point of things happened to his daughter Bai Hejing.
"Home."
This is what Shirakawa Shizuka told him when Shirakawa Kiyoshi asked her during the amusement park operation. Miyano Akemi kept repeating this word at the end.
However, Shirakawa Jing, who didn't know the existence of these tapes, didn't understand what she meant, but Shirakawa Qing understood it as soon as he heard it.
The tapes that Elena left for Miyano Shiho were probably hidden at Miyano Akemi's home, and the "home" she mentioned was certainly not the apartment she rented at the time.
But it was the Miyano family villa that once carried their family's past memories.
"Mr. Lei, how do you know this?"
When asked this by Shirakawa Kiyoshi, Mr. Dejima looked at him in surprise.
"Mingmei did come back once about half a year ago."
Hearing his words, Miyano Shiho suddenly looked up at him.
"I was also quite surprised at the time. The little girl from 20 years ago has now grown into a beautiful young lady..."
"Did she do anything after she came back?" Bai Heqing continued to ask.
"What did she do? I don't think so..." Mr. Dejima frowned slightly and recalled: "Amei said she just happened to be passing by, so she came to take a look. She didn't stay for long. She just said hello to me and left."
