"Ah."
Bai Hejing replied in affirmation.
Shirakawa Jing did mention to Shirakawa Qing that Mary appeared in the Kingdom of Andrew and had contact with Shirakawa Ying.
Originally, this matter should have been the responsibility of her mother Sharon. After all, it was she who was in the Andrew Kingdom at the time. It was only later that Shirakawa Jing accidentally deduced this information during the incident at Clover Villa.
"This is one of the reasons why I... or rather, my father is sure that Mary will cooperate with him in the end."
Bai He Rui heard this and replied:
“Although on the surface, my father and Mary are on different sides and have a hostile relationship.
But in fact, due to the special relationship between the two of them, this "hostility" between them is not as pure and direct as outsiders imagine and guess.
Not to mention, in today's world, it is impossible for anyone other than them to harm them if they know about their special relationship.
Therefore, after guessing that Mary was most likely the commander-in-chief of the Red Camp's operation, and knowing what had happened between Mary and Xiaoying in the Kingdom of Andrew before, her father immediately determined that Mary would definitely become an important part of helping him complete his plan.
If you think this is too far-fetched, I have a more powerful piece of evidence.
We now look back at my father's 'funeral' ten years ago, and Mary was there, and I still remember that her reaction was somewhat...out of place compared to the others present at the time."
Shirakawa Rui's words were very euphemistic, but in fact Shirakawa Jing also remembered very clearly that at that time, there was no sadness on Mary's face at all, but anger.
A completely different kind of anger from the rest.
"I don't need to tell you, Jing, you know that Mary, who had been deceived by her father once before, didn't believe that her father had faked his death ten years ago.
In the following ten years, she conducted a lengthy investigation on her father around the world while continuously carrying out missions, and gradually became suspicious of the relationship between her father and the organization.
But, Jing, even so, Mary did not involve us, her father's relatives. To be honest, I have lived a very stable life in the past ten years, and our family has not been followed or investigated even once.
In fact, with Mary's power, she can definitely make this happen. Even if a direct investigation is impossible, it is completely feasible to promote a secret investigation into our family.
But none of this happened. I can only think that when Mary investigated her father, she did not do it for justice, duty or kindness. Maybe she just wanted to ask her father for an answer and want to know why he did it?
Of course, this is just my most appropriate guess based on the existing information. As for the truest answer, perhaps only the two of them know it.
But in short, no matter what, my father was sure that Mary would help him in the end, so when Jing asked me what to do with her, he just glossed over the matter.
Because Mary's existence is the last and most important part of her father's plan.
This is really strange. These two people haven't seen each other for ten years. As a result, one of them swore that no matter what the other did, he would not harm the people around him. And the other person really did what this person believed. He buried all the truth in his heart and just investigated quietly behind the scenes. It's really incredible...
But I’m not sure whether my father and others’ trust is really solid and how long it can last?
After all, as I said before, my father doesn’t just judge a thing based on trust or not…”
"Xiao Rui." However, after listening to his entire reasoning, Bai Hejing pondered for a long time, and finally said hesitantly: "Your speculation is indeed logically correct, but it lacks actual evidence..."
"It doesn't matter."
At the same time, it was late at night in the United States. Bai He Rui was sitting on the hospital bed. A man in a suit and tie walked into his ward, respectfully handed a thick file bag to him, and then left the ward.
Baihe Rui opened the file, which contained the biographical files of several people.
Akai Tsumugi, Akai Mary, Akai Shuichi, and even Sera Carrie.
Putting the first three files aside, Shirakawa Rui picked up Sera Carrie's file and said:
"I previously learned from an FBI agent (Judy) who has a good relationship with the Akai family that Mary Akai actually has a younger sister, but the age gap between her and her is quite large, and it is said that the two are not related by blood.
I was cautious at the time, so I used a little of my family's power to find the files of all the people who had worked as agents in the FBI or MI6 in the Akai family and Akai Mary's mother's family, the Sera family..."
"Xiao Rui! Did you use people from your family to investigate these things?" Upon hearing this, Bai Hejing's originally low and neutral voice suddenly rose a lot.
It can be seen that she found it incredible that Shirakawa Rui would do such a "stupid thing".
"Jing, don't worry. This behavior of mine is also a bait deliberately spread to attract someone's attention and make him willing to meet me.
After all, if I don't do this, he will probably think that I am also a member of the organization, and then he might think there is no need to meet with me.
If this happens, my future plans will be ruined..."
"Who is this person you are talking about?" Bai Hejing asked immediately.
"Let's get back to the topic now."
But Baihe Rui did not answer her. Instead, he looked at the file of Carly in his hand and said:
"Sera Carrie was a victim of the terrorist attack in London ten years ago. She lost her biological parents in that incident, but she was saved by Mary.
According to archival records, after the incident, she was adopted by Mary's family, changed her surname to Sera, and became Mary Akai's nominal sister.
Jing, guess which terrorist incident in London ten years ago is mentioned in this file? "
"It was the terrorist attack that my father encountered when he and Mary went to London together ten years ago to try to force the London government to recognize Scotland's independence."
Bai Hejing answered immediately, of course she knew about this matter.
"Yes, my father must have been involved in this incident, and this means that this Ms. Sera Carrie, who is only a few years younger than us, has a high probability of having met my father."
At this point, Baihe Rui's tone suddenly became serious.
“Moreover, influenced by Mary, this person also became an MI6 agent after graduating from university, and almost every operation or mission she has been involved in was in partnership with Mary.
Combining these two points, I personally suspect that there is a certain possibility that Sera Carrie knows something about the relationship between her father and Mary, or even that she may be secretly assisting Mary in investigating her father.
In addition, in the last record of this file, the last place Sera Carrie appeared was Japan.
More than ten days ago, Sera Carrie and Akai Mary went to Japan together to investigate the organization.
Among them, Sera Carrie once rescued a group of FBI agents who were fighting unknown terrorists, and at the request of London, she secretly investigated and protected a princess of the Kingdom of Andrew from leaving Japan.
All of the above are the action records she reported to her superiors, and after that, there were no more action records in her file.
Considering that Mary is now on the streets of Edo, Japan, that means..."
"Carly was most likely also selected to become a member of their special operations plan against the organization, right?" Bai Hejing understood what he meant and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yes."
Baihe Rui nodded slightly.
"She should be still in Japan like Mary, and it is even possible that... she is on that Edo street right now.
Jing, if you want to confirm whether my previous speculation is correct and want to verify the relationship between father and Mary, then she may be able to become a breakthrough. "
Chapter 582 He Must Die, I Can't Wait
"By the way, Jing, just consider it a casual question."
At the end of their conversation, Baihe Rui suddenly asked a question.
"Do you have a sniper you can trust and who is also a good shooter?"
"What do you want a sniper for?"
As soon as Shirakawa Jing asked this question, she reacted and asked again: "Could it be related to the person you just mentioned?"
Shirakawa Rui just said that he seemed to be targeted by someone in the United States. In order to set a trap for this person, he also used his family's power to investigate the intelligence of the Akai family, and deliberately exposed this as a flaw to this person.
"Yes."
Having said everything that needed to be said, Bai He Rui did not keep the matter a secret any longer and said truthfully:
"It's the famous novelist Yusaku Kudo who has a good relationship with my parents."
"what's going on?"
"Uncle Kudo has a wide network of contacts and seems to be well-received within the FBI. According to my speculation, when I asked Aunt Yukiko to come to Japan to help Akai Shuichi, he noticed something strange and therefore suspected me.
However, he probably couldn't be completely sure of my position at the moment, so when he called to test me before, Uncle Kudo specifically revealed some secret information to me, which was to dig a "big pit".
I won't go into the details, but based on my analysis, if I don't do anything after learning this information, Uncle Kudo will most likely identify me as a member of the organization, and then some things may be more troublesome to deal with...
But if I do something, such as using our family's power to investigate the Akai family, this will temporarily sever the relationship between me and the organization, and make Uncle Kudo think that I have never been involved in anything related to the organization before.
Compared to the former, in the latter case, Uncle Kudo is more likely to come to see me..."
Although Baihe Rui's words were brief, he explained all the important points carefully.
In other words, for some reasons, he is now being targeted by Kudo Yusaku in the United States.
If it was just Yusaku Kudo, then there would be nothing wrong, but the point is that Yusaku Kudo has a wide network of contacts. Whether it is Interpol, the FBI, or within the CIA, he has friends who are familiar to him and have a say.
It is indeed difficult to deal with such people.
And Shirakawa Rui asked her for a sniper, could this be...
"Xiao Rui, are you looking for an opportunity... to get rid of Kudo Yusaku?" Shirakawa Jing asked tentatively.
"Ah."
Baihe Rui did not hide anything about this and admitted it directly.
"Although I have made preparations before this, I still feel that it is not safe enough... So, Jing, it's the same question again, do you have any powerful and trustworthy snipers around you?
It would be best if they were snipers who had killed people and seen blood. Otherwise, I would always worry that those rookies with zero experience who had only been trained in the training ground would fail at the critical moment. "
When Shirakawa Rui said this, his tone did not change at all, as if the person he was going to kill next was just a person who was insignificant to him, rather than Uncle Kudo who had a long-term friendship with their family.
Baihe Rui has no psychological burden about this.
After his father faked his death ten years ago, his mother and elder sister stopped caring about the family, and his younger sister was still very young, so a lot of the burden of the family fell on him from that moment on.
The Karasuma Group is a rather large group. For such a behemoth, it is not an easy task even if Shirakawa Rui is only responsible for controlling the general direction.
Although Shirakawa Rui had said before that he had only "occasionally helped manage the family business" over the years, this sentence, like "I have some family assets", is actually a self-deprecating statement.
It is precisely because of the experience of managing the Karasuma Group over the years that Shirakawa Rui has already been trained to have a slightly different way of thinking from ordinary people.
It is true that the Kudo family and the Shirakawa family do have a very good relationship. Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko have been in frequent contact with their family over the years and are not strangers to them.
If it were someone else, they might be hesitant and dithering about such a matter, and might be wavering because of the relationship between the two families over the years.
But Baihe Rui would never do that.
Not only that, he had already made up his mind the moment he realized that Kudo Yusaku had set a trap for him.
Yusaku Kudo must die.
Because from the moment he became suspicious of Shirakawa Rui, this person's identity changed from "a good friend of his parents" to "a threat to the Shirakawa family."
If he doesn't die, his whole family will be the ones to die in the future.
