[It is my duty. If I come back alive in the next operation, I will immediately start further investigation in this direction.]
[But, Rui, we are best friends. Since these things have already involved the people around you, I don’t want to hide it from you.]
[I don't know whether you have any connection with this organization, but no matter what choice you make, my choice will not change. I will continue to investigate because she and the teacher also have expectations of me.]
[You can also understand this as my declaration of war against you, just like when we were in the hospital together, we often played those little games to compete with each other on how fast we could solve cases.]
[Of course, the premise of all this is that I can come back alive from the next operation. ]
[But if I am unfortunately killed, the information in this email will be regarded as the last gift from my friend to you. In exchange, I hope you can help me take care of someone. She is a stubborn but fragile girl... Well, judging from her age, maybe I should call her sister.]
[My death will definitely be a fatal blow to her. I hope you can help me take good care of her.]
[I have put all her information in the next email. I have set a timer for this email. If I fail to reply, it will be sent to your mailbox at the set time. Please remember to receive it.]
[Finally, it's about my FBI colleague named Akai Shuichi. I asked you to remember this name before. You should have remembered it, right? ]
[This person is very capable and can be trusted in dealing with the organization.]
[Considering that there is a one in ten thousand chance that Rui might choose to stand on my side, I left him some clues.]
[Don't worry, I haven't exposed your identity. The clues I left for him will eventually lead him to Mr. Kuroba's original residence in Washington. I believe that with his ability, he will be able to investigate this level.]
[I will write the specific location of the teacher's residence in the attachment of this email. If you really want to stand on my side, you can choose to go to the teacher's residence to meet him.]
[The time limit is within one week after you receive this email. During this period, I believe Mr. Akai will definitely come to the teacher's residence. ]
[At that time, Rui, you only need to explain my situation to Mr. Akai, and you can gain Mr. Akai's trust. ]
[Of course, if you don't have this idea, Rui, then just don't go to see him. As I said, I haven't revealed any information about you. As long as you don't go, Mr. Akai won't notice you at all.]
[Okay, these are all the things I want to tell you. I won't interfere with your choice, Rui. My only request is that if I really die, I hope you can help me take care of that girl.]
【The heart of the palace. 】
After finishing writing and sending the email, Mamiya let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
But before he could rest for long, the communicator he placed aside rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Shuichi Akai.
"Mamiya, those thugs are coming over here, I'm going to start the action soon."
"it is good."
Continuing from the previous chapter, let’s talk about the character setting of Mamiya Shin. Due to some reasons, this character’s setting actually underwent a major revision.
It has even reached the point where plot bugs appear before and after.
Therefore, if any readers notice these bugs, please focus on the contents of these chapters.
Even the reason that some readers mentioned that Mamiya Kokoro joined the FBI for too short a time is included in it. What was originally a special foreshadowing to reveal Mamiya Kokoro's identity has now become a bug in the plot.
Including this letter he wrote to Shirakawa Rui, it was also to make up for the plot bug left after the major changes to Mamiya Shin's character. In the original plot setting, there was actually no such letter.
With the change in the character setting of Mamiya Shin, they have now all become plot bugs, duh.
I have tried my best to make these bugs less obvious and less special, but as I said, the bugs he left behind are too big, and no matter what I do, it is impossible to cover them up perfectly. The current compensation is already the best I can do.
As for the reason for the modification, I have mentioned it once in the group before, but because it involves the reading experience of the plot, I will not describe it in detail now. I will explain it when the book is almost finished.
Chapter 556 Bai Herui
"You came a little slower than I expected."
The time came to the day when Shuichi Akai followed the clues left by Mamiya Shin and tracked them down to Kuroba Chikage's former residence in Washington.
When he opened the door with the master key, he saw only one figure in the house.
It was a male figure, dressed in a hospital gown, and looked to be about the same age as him.
The figure stood at the corridor on the second floor, looking at Shuichi Akai below. He put the book he had just taken back onto the bookshelf and walked down the stairs.
“Friends are a rare thing.”
The figure spoke as he walked slowly down the stairs.
"And just a few days ago, I lost a very important friend. His last name was Mamiya, and his given name was Kokoro."
[Is this person really related to Mamiya...?]
Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai thought to himself that this was not unexpected.
This is the place where Mamiya finally guided him to, and the mysterious man who appeared here must be related to Mamiya.
But Shuichi Akai still didn't know what Mamiya wanted this person to tell him, or... how this man could help him?
"Mamiya and I have known each other since childhood."
The man spoke in a very calm voice, his tone incredibly steady.
"I think it's because of my twin sister who was born more than ten minutes earlier than me. When we were still in the womb, most of the nutrients provided by our mother were taken away by her, which caused me, your brother, to be weak and sickly since birth.
Even though I had gone through the most vulnerable period of human beings, infancy, with great difficulty and danger, the situation did not improve at all.
After all, it is a congenital deficiency, so the only way I can make up for it is through acquired means. Therefore, long-term hospitalization has become the only way of life that can keep me alive.
That’s when I met Mamiya.”
Finally walking down the stairs, the man did not walk towards Akai Shuichi at the door, but walked towards the sofa and coffee table next to him.
"We met when we were young. Mamiya was similar to me in that he was also weak and sickly when he was young. However, unlike me, his condition gradually improved as he grew older.
By the time he reached adulthood, his physical condition was no different from that of a normal adult, and there was no need for him to stay in the hospital any longer.
Having said that, we still have a friendship that comes from being in the hospital together for many years. Even though he no longer needs me, he still often comes back to the hospital to visit me.
In my opinion, Mamiya is one of the smartest people in the world. He has a natural brain, and when we used to play those reasoning games, he rarely lost to me.
About five years ago, he learned a magical disguise technique from someone. After his teacher died, he joined the FBI. According to him, he was investigating a mysterious person and organization.
On the coffee table, there was a pot of boiled water. The man picked up the kettle and poured some into two cups.
"It was not until a few days ago that Mamiya finally told me the truth. The mysterious organization he was investigating was a black organization that had existed in this world for a long time, and the mysterious man was a very important figure in this organization, codenamed—Reger."
Having said that, the man finally turned around and looked at Akai Shuichi behind him, and at the same time raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the sofa opposite him.
And Akai Shuichi didn't hesitate to walk up and sit on the sofa opposite the man.
"What else did he tell you?"
Although he was somewhat surprised to hear the name "Reger" come from a man's mouth, it was more or less within his expectations.
After all, it was obvious that Mamiya wanted him to meet this person, and even wanted him to get this person's help to fight against the organization.
It is reasonable for this man to know some information about the organization.
He just didn't know what was so special about this man that he was chosen by Mamiya? Was it just because they were friends?
"Reger has some connection with the teacher who taught Mamiya the art of disguise. According to Mamiya, his teacher's family was killed by this person."
The man picked up the glass of water and explained slowly.
"Tracking down and uncovering this person's true identity was the most direct reason why Mamiya joined the FBI.
It’s just regrettable, and what makes me sad is that Mamiya lost his life in the confrontation with this mysterious organization just when his investigation was beginning to make progress…”
"How... did you know about this?" Akai Shuichi asked.
The death of Mamiya Shin is still only known to a few people.
"Judy Starling."
Looking at Akai Shuichi, the man said this name that he was very familiar with.
"This person is a colleague of Mamiya's in the FBI, just like you. She is a few years older than Mamiya. According to the information Mamiya told me, she and Mamiya should be in a romantic relationship.
A few days ago, Mamiya sent me an email saying that he had a premonition that he might encounter some fatal danger in his next action.
This is not surprising. Throughout recorded history, there have always been people who can predict their own death in advance.
The only thing he couldn't let go of was his girlfriend named Judy.
In the email, he said that he had set up a scheduled email containing information about Ms. Judy.
Mamiya told me that if he successfully survived this crisis, he would naturally come back to cancel this email, but if he really encountered any danger, this email would be sent to my mailbox on time, and he hoped that I, as a friend, could take good care of this poor lady for him.
Although I prayed in my heart, unfortunately, the email about Ms. Judy's information was still sent to my mailbox yesterday morning.
This also shows that Mamiya was indeed murdered..."
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in the man's eyes.
He couldn't help but feel sad that his former best friend had died quietly in another country.
"I see. So, Mamiya... asked you to take care of Judy?" Akai Shuichi frowned slightly.
"That's right." The man nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "After all, in addition to the friendship between me and Mamiya, I actually... also have quite a bit of wealth.
Mamiya may have considered that Ms. Judy would suffer a severe blow because of his murder, and she would never recover and lose her job at the FBI.
He asked me for help, probably because I could guarantee that Ms. Judy would not be troubled by material life in the future.
As for whether Ms. Judy can recover from the mental blow, that is beyond my control."

Chapter 557 The Unfathomable Man
"Can you tell me your name?"
In Kuroba Chikage's residence, after briefly understanding the relationship between the man in front of him and Mamiya, Akai Shuichi finally asked this question.
The two of them have been chatting for so long, but he still doesn't know the other person's name.
"My last name is Baihe, and my given name is Rui."
With a slight smile, Bai He Rui put down the cup in his hand and said:
"This word has auspicious meanings in Chinese. Since I was weak and sickly since childhood, my parents finally chose it as my name, which contains the good meaning that they hope I can grow up healthily.
If I'm not mistaken, you should be the capable FBI agent Akai Shuichi that Mamiya told me about in the email, right?"
"it's me."
