Therefore, if they could create a fake Shirley at this time that could be mistaken for the real thing, there would indeed be a high probability of luring Regler out.
Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Rui did not answer him directly, but just smiled gently. Then he immediately clicked on Kudo Yukiko's phone number on his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Hello~ Rui? Why are you calling me suddenly? Is there something you need help from Sister Yukiko?"
The phone was connected not long after it rang. In addition to Kudo Yukiko's unique smiling voice, there was also some noisy background noise.
Obviously, Yukiko Kudo should be shopping and having fun somewhere now.
"I have something I would like to ask Sister Yukiko to use your disguise technique to help me."
Shirakawa Rui replied gently, switching seamlessly from "Auntie" to "Sister".
"Hmm? Do you need to disguise yourself? Are you going to commit a crime?" Kudo Yukiko teased with a smile.
"It's to fight crime." Bai He Rui corrected with a smile.
"Fighting crime, this is not something you would say, Xiao Rui, who spends every day in the hospital..."
Hearing this, Kudo Yukiko pondered for a while, and her tone finally seemed to become serious.
"Tell your sister what's going on."
"All I need is for Sister Yukiko to go to Japan and draw a disguise mask for someone. It's very simple, but the specific reason is..."
At this point, Shirakawa Rui looked up at Akai Shuichi who was sitting opposite him and said:
"There is a person from the other side who is here with me. If you are interested, Sister Yukiko, you can come and meet him. I think it would be better if he could explain the reason in person."
"Ah... I didn't expect that even you, Xiao Rui, would keep things a secret."
Hearing his words, Kudo Yukiko's tone suddenly became extremely sad, as if she saw a once innocent child walking down a path of depravity...
"Well, since this is the first time you've come to ask me for help, Yukiko-sama can't just reject you so cruelly... Tell me where the person you're talking about is, and I'll come over as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
With a slight smile, Shirakawa Rui told Kudo Yukiko the location of Kuroba Chikage's residence.
"Huh? Huh? It's actually right here in Washington?!"
On the phone, Kudo Yukiko sounded surprised.
"What a coincidence! Wait, wait! I'll be right there!"
"Well, I'll trouble Sister Yukiko..."
After Bai He Rui expressed his gratitude, he immediately asked as if he was asking a question casually between relatives and friends:
"By the way, Sister Yukiko, how is Shinichi doing in Japan these days?"
"Shinichi?"
But when Kudo Yukiko heard his question, there was a moment of hesitation in her tone.
As Kudo Shinichi's mother, she naturally knew that her son had been involved in various things related to a mysterious organization for some reason, and had even been magically turned back to his appearance of six or seven years old...
But these are not the words that can be said to Shirakawa Rui.
"What else can we do? That brat is still the same as before! He is always curious and gets involved in all kinds of dangerous cases! I really don't know when this brat will grow up! He will know not to make his parents worry about him all day long! Really!"

Chapter 559 Verification, speculation, and results
"What else can we do? That brat is still the same as before! He is always curious and gets involved in all kinds of dangerous cases! I really don't know when this brat will grow up! He will know not to make his parents worry about him all day long! Really!"
When Kudo Yukiko heard Shirakawa Rui asking about Kudo Shinichi, her brain hesitated for a moment before she said these words.
As a famous movie star who was once very popular, Kudo Yukiko's acting skills have naturally reached perfection. There are no loopholes in her tone or words. She not only answered Shirakawa Rui's question, but also did not reveal any information about Kudo Shinichi's current situation.
However, Baihe Rui still caught her only flaw, which was the fleeting hesitation before she said these words.
【She is lying.】
"It's okay. Shinichi is at his age and is in the best condition to be active. It will be fine in a few years."
Shirakawa Rui responded to Kudo Yukiko's words with a smile, and at the same time made further attempts.
"It just so happens that the doctor has been saying that my health has improved recently. I've also been thinking about going to Japan someday. When I go, I'll stop by to see Shinichi."
As expected, Kudo Yukiko declined his proposal.
"No need, Rui. Shinichi has been running around lately, saying he's working on a big case. He doesn't even study hard. Even I, as a mother, don't know where he hangs out all day... Rui, don't waste your time on this brat. I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back!"
"Okay, since Sister Yukiko has said so, I won't ask any more questions."
Upon hearing this, Bai He Rui nodded and stopped pursuing this topic.
He was quite curious, why Kudo Yukiko wanted to stop him from meeting Kudo Shinichi, and why Akai Shuichi had a strange reaction to the childhood photos of Kudo Shinichi?
Could it be that Kudo Shinichi is also involved in matters related to this organization?
If this is true, then it is really...
It's an incredible coincidence.
"Then Sister Yukiko, see you later."
"Okay! See you later!"
On the other end of the phone, Kudo Yukiko, who was carrying a lot of bags in a shopping mall, hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I feel like that sick kid seems to have noticed something..."
Just out of her mother's and woman's intuition, Kudo Yukiko vaguely felt that Shirakawa Rui seemed to have noticed something that happened to her big son...
"No, that shouldn't be possible..."
But soon, Kudo Yukiko shook her head and denied her own guess.
"This sick boy has been in the hospital all these years, living like a hermit in modern society. It is impossible for him to know these things... Well, the sick boy probably just asked casually. That's right, that's it."
Kudo Yukiko couldn't help but feel a little helpless. During the call just now, Shirakawa Rui had been talking to her in a steady tone without any ups and downs.
Even Kudo Yukiko could not guess his true thoughts from his unchanged tone.
It was just a casual question, and it was the most reasonable explanation she could think of.
Thinking of this, Kudo Yukiko called Kudo Yusaku.
Since she had promised Bai He Rui, she would naturally not go back on her word. However, before leaving, she still had to call her husband to explain.
"Honey! I'm going to Japan! Ah! No! It's Xiao Rui from the Shirakawa family who wants to ask me for a favor, which is..."
Not long after that phone call, Kudo Yukiko rushed to Kuroba Chikage's residence.
The result was naturally a very pleasant conversation.
Of course, this was what Shuichi Akai told Shirakawa Rui over the phone.
After making that phone call, Shirakawa Rui, who had finished everything he needed to do, left there on the pretext of feeling unwell.
He has other things to do.
Time goes back to before Shirakawa Rui went to Kuroba Chikage's house to meet Akai Shuichi.
In an independent ward of a hospital in downtown Washington, Rui Shirakawa, wearing a hospital gown, sat on the bed and looked calmly at the email sent to him by Shin Mamiya.
[Organization... Shirley... Regal...]
There is no doubt that what Mamiya Shin said in the email were things he was not aware of.
Due to health reasons, Bai He Rui has been hospitalized for a long time. Apart from helping his grandfather manage the family businesses, he never asks about external affairs.
But even when it comes to business matters, he only occasionally intervenes. After all, his sister is the one chosen by his grandfather to inherit the family business in the future.
Shirakawa Rui had no objection to this.
His father died early, his mother was addicted to filming, he himself was in poor health, and although his twin sister was very smart, she was not one who liked to take charge of things.
After eliminating people one by one, the final choice naturally fell on the younger sister among their three siblings.
Baihe Rui always thought that he was living in such a family.
However, this email from Mamiya overturned his understanding of these years.
In an instant, their family seemed to have changed from an ordinary family with considerable wealth to a dark family that could potentially endanger the world.
It was impossible for him not to be surprised or suspicious of such a subversion.
However, Mamiya had no motive to play this joke on him.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Shirakawa Rui was not without a way to verify the authenticity of the information that Mamiya Shin told him.
In this email, Mamiya mentioned several key times and names.
Ten years ago, as well.
According to Mamiya's description, Regel, who is suspected to be his father, took control of the affairs of this black organization in Europe and the United States ten years ago.
This is a very special time for their family.
Ten years ago, his father died in a traffic accident, and his sister Shirakawa Shizuka, who was attending college at the time, transferred to a university in Europe in the same year and began her long "half-study, half-acting" career.
The reason for this description is that during the past ten years, Shirakawa Jing has been conducting academic research at European universities, while also entering the European and American film industry under the name "Chris Wynyard", shooting various film and television dramas, and balancing study and work. Her main claim is to be a master of time management.
According to Mamiya Shin's description, her father's death became a way for her father to better control the European and American branches of the organization.
His sister's sudden transfer of schools also became a means to help his father achieve this goal.
All of this corresponds to the information Mamiya obtained from the FBI.
……
Baihe Rui had a candidate in mind.
Judy Stelling.
