Why would my sister come to ask him specifically about this person named "Mary"?
[Mary...]
Bai He Rui closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
In Europe and the United States, this name is so common that, to put it in an exaggerated way, if you just yell it on the street, several people will turn around.
【blond……】
Before going to Japan, Bai Heying had told him that she had something she wanted to investigate, and even asked him to keep it a secret from his grandfather and never tell anyone her whereabouts.
From the current perspective, the matter she wanted to investigate might also be related to the organization.
So, where did the younger sister notice something unusual and finally decide to go to Japan?
And what secrets does this woman named Mary, whom she specifically questioned, hide?
【Ten years ago! 】
Suddenly, Bai He Rui opened his eyes, and a memory from ten years ago emerged in his mind.
[Xiaoying, you said that dad went to England? ]
That was what Bai Heying told him ten years ago when she came to visit him in the hospital.
At that time, the family had just returned from a vacation trip to the beach in San Francisco.
Of course, this does not include him who has physical difficulties in traveling.
[Well, I went with an aunt. 】
Lying beside his bed, Bai Heying replied.
[Oh? Does your mother know about this? ]
[I know, but my mother didn’t stop me. ]
[Is it because that aunt is ugly? 】
[No, that auntie is very beautiful. She said her name is Mary, and she has a great figure. She has several children, including a sister who is about my age and is also very cute...]
Baihe Ying tried hard to describe it.
[As expected of my dad, his vision is always so sharp. 】
Baihe Rui nodded.
[Brother, are you talking about something inappropriate for children? ]
[Since you already know that it is not suitable for children, then don't ask any more questions, or you will learn bad things. ]
[Humph! You are the same as your father! ]
It was as if the most crucial key was turned, and memories suddenly flooded into Bai Herui's mind like a tide.
[It was a car accident. My father’s funeral is the day after tomorrow.]
It was a few days after his father, Shirakawa Kiyoshi, returned from England that Shirakawa Jing, who rarely came to visit him in the hospital, came to tell him in person.
Shirakawa Kiyoshi was murdered.
This sudden bad news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Shirakawa Rui at the time.
[Is the investigation clear?Is it man-made?Or an accident? 】
[It was a complete accident. 】
At that time, his sister Shirokawa Jing's tone was as unbelievably calm as she usually was.
[The day after tomorrow, we will go to the funeral together. 】
Bai Hejing's words were extremely concise, but to the two twin sisters, her words were really too cold.
But Bai He Rui knew that this was not because his sister had any opinion about him.
On the contrary, she just didn't dare to face him.
The two are twins, but when they were born, the older sister, Shirakawa Jing, was in good health, even stronger than ordinary babies. However, the younger brother, Shirakawa Rui, was weak and sickly since childhood and had to receive long-term care in the hospital.
In her opinion, it was because she had taken away too much nutrition that originally belonged to her younger brother during her mother's pregnancy, which ultimately led to Shirakawa Rui being born in such a weak condition.
The completely different physical conditions of the siblings made Shirakawa Jing always feel guilty, although Shirakawa Rui had never actually had such thoughts.
【it is good. 】
Shirakawa Kiyoshi's funeral came as scheduled. At that funeral, Shirakawa Rui saw for the first time the blonde woman named Mary who had gone to England with Shirakawa Kiyoshi a few days ago.
But unlike the other friends of his parents, only Mary had a gloomy face at that time. She seemed to be angry?
This person...is not ordinary.
"Ms. Judy, do you... know Mary?"
The recollection ended here. Baihe Rui opened his eyes and asked tentatively.
"Mary?"
However, Judy looked a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, please don't worry about it."
Seeing this, Bai He Rui didn't ask any more questions and stood up to leave.
[It seems that this person needs to be re-investigated...]
"Ms. Judy, thank you for your assistance today..."
"Wait! Mr. Shirakawa!"
But at this moment, Judy suddenly called him and asked:
"Are you talking about Akai Mari?"
【Akai? 】
Bai He Rui paused and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but the moment he turned around, this expression disappeared.
"Yes, it's her."
Instead, there was a friendly smile.
"Ms. Judy, why don't you... tell me more about this person."
()It’s almost there, it’s almost there…
Chapter 562 What is your code name?
"Akai Shuichi's mother, an MI6 agent..."
Inside the apartment, Shirakawa Rui listened quietly to Judy's description of the information about Akai Mary.
This is an old agent with at least thirty years of experience. She is considered a living legend in the spy world and is very famous. She is also the mother of FBI ace agent Shuichi Akai.
In addition, Judy also told Shirakawa Rui some of what she knew about Akai Mary's past experience as an agent.
One of these things caught Baihe Rui's attention.
That was ten years ago, when a terrorist incident occurred in the British Empire due to the Scottish independence movement.
A terrorist organization that wants to use violence to make Scotland independent has taken an entire shopping mall in London hostage, hoping to force the London government to recognize Scotland's independence.
This incident had a great impact at the time, and many countries in the international community were waiting to see the joke. The London government then dispatched a special operations team to carry out a decapitation operation on the terrorist leader, and only then was the incident quickly resolved.
Among the special operations team sent out at that time was Mary Akai.
Afterwards, Mary Akai was also awarded honors for her outstanding performance in the operation.
Of course, Baihe Rui was not concerned about these things. What he cared about was the time when this incident happened.
The terrorist attack that occurred in London ten years ago coincided exactly with the time when his father, Shirakawa Kiyoshi, went to London with Mary ten years ago.
It is very likely that these two people handled the matter together in London at the time.
[This woman must have a special relationship with my father.]
Baihe Rui made this judgment.
[When it comes to my father's affairs, she is definitely a hurdle that cannot be circumvented... But I need more information about the relationship between these two people.]
Pausing to think, Bai He Rui looked up at Judy in front of him and smiled:
"I see, Ms. Judy, thank you for your assistance."
"You're too polite, Mr. Baihe..." Judy shook her head slightly.
Baihe Rui didn't say anything more, and Judy probably didn't have any more information.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said goodbye again.
"In that case, I will go back first. I will take care of the organization's affairs. Don't worry. If there is anything I need, I will come to you again."
"Wait! Mr. Shirakawa!"
However, Judy suddenly called out to him.
Facing Bai He Rui's doubtful gaze, she hesitated for a long time before finally summoning up the courage to ask:
"Excuse me, is there any other way I can help?"
After saying this, Judy seemed very nervous and fidgeted.
Although what she said was very cryptic, Bai Herui could still hear the true meaning of her words.
She wanted to return and participate in the fight against the organization again.
But it was obvious that the current FBI would not let her get involved in any events related to the organization in the short term... or even in the future, so she could only pin her hopes on the man in front of her.
Bai He Rui did not answer Judy immediately. He just looked at her quietly with a calm expression.
After a while, he smiled again and said softly:
"Ms. Judy, since I promised Mamiya to take good care of you, I will not break my promise."
"Really..." Judy's shoulders drooped, and the courage she had just mustered up with great difficulty now completely disappeared.
Baihe Rui didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was very clear.
