[The situation, something is not right...]
On the other side of Edo Street, Akai Marie glanced at the clock tower that was slowly falling in the distance. She looked back and recalled everything that happened this morning in her mind, frowning.
Due to the relationship between the voice and the name, she had always believed that the mysterious detective who appeared in the guest house was Bai Heqing himself, so she impulsively gave the order to pursue him.
But now that she calmed down, she quickly realized something was abnormal.
The most obvious point is that assuming that the mysterious detective is indeed Shirakawa Kiyoshi himself, what is the purpose of his appearance at the Guest House? What was his motive for deliberately exposing himself like this?
Even if the two identities of "Shirakawa Qing" and "Regel" are equated, it can only explain the purpose of his appearance in the guest house, but cannot explain the reason why he exposed himself.
This is where Mary found herself suspicious.
From the perspective of hindsight, if Bai Heqing's purpose of showing up at the guest house was to take Shirley away, then there was no need for him to deliberately stage this drama to expose his identity.
After all, the violent explosion that occurred in the guesthouse would immediately break her original arrangement in the hall. If Bai Heqing really wanted to take Shirley away, he wouldn't even need to show up deliberately, he would just wait for the explosion. Just take the person away after it happens, there is no need to go to all this trouble.
This is the first point.
The second thing is that before and after the explosion, Shirakawa Qing escaped from the Guest House, then attacked their operatives outside the Guest House, and has been chased by them in Edo Street until now.
This is very wrong.
Judging from the equation of "Bai Heqing" and "Regel", his top priority should also be to take away Shirley. Even if he is worried that they will have other arrangements and needs to arrange someone to contain them, then Nor should he be the one to play.
The dignified second-in-command of the black organization doesn’t have anyone he can use anymore? You actually need to act as a decoy to attract firepower?
This is unreasonable, and it is also not consistent with the speculation in the intelligence obtained by Mary that Regel "prioritizes tasks to his subordinates and rarely takes action himself."
The series of situations that happened this morning always gave Mary a feeling that she couldn't believe: that is, Bai Heqing seemed to have known that it was her who appeared here today, and also knew that she was looking for him, so He just appeared in front of her like this on purpose, so as to attract her to circle repeatedly in this Edo street.
Yes, in circles.
Mary's career as an agent over the past few decades was not a casual one, although now it seemed that their people were constantly chasing Bai Heqing.
But from just now, she had noticed that Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who was being chased by them, had actually been walking with their people repeatedly in this Edo street.
This Bai Heqing's skills are obviously extraordinary. This person can obviously easily get rid of the action personnel chasing him.
But whenever this happens, he will appear in another direction, and then attack their operators, luring them to continue chasing him...
Do you want to contain them in this Edo street?
But what is your purpose in doing this?
After all, Mary is no longer sure whether the person they are chasing is Shirakawa Kiyo. After all, it is not a secret that Regel can change his appearance and voice.
[Can’t waste any more time...]
The ground beneath her feet was shaking slightly, and the vibrations caused by the fall of the clock tower in the distance even reached her.
Akai Shuichi suddenly felt worried in her heart, but soon, Mary shook her head and put this emotion aside for the time being.
"Boom! Boom!"
Gunfire rang out again not far away. It was probably another conflict between the pursuing operators and the detective who looked like Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
[Now is not the time to think about this. 】
[Whether you are true or false, no matter what your purpose is, as long as I catch you, I will naturally be able to figure it out. 】
After confirming this, Mary quickly set off and ran towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
"..."
"stop!"
"Bang!"
At the same time, Bai Hejing, who disguised himself as a detective and led the group of men in suits to walk in the nearby neighborhood for a long time, once again used the surrounding environment to hide in the back corner of the house and shot two A man in a suit who chases after her eagerly.
"well……"
Sighing slightly, she glanced at the few bullets left in the magazine, turned around and ran in the other direction.
She has never wanted to complain so much, why is the Japanese police's operational efficiency so low? She has obviously been wandering here for a while, but the police outside have not yet carried out any substantive action. This is really...
Considering her father's previous status, she did not say some words that were too unpleasant.
Thinking of this, Bai Hejing sighed again.
Of course, she wasn't complaining because she was dying. On the contrary, she still had plenty of physical strength and energy, and it wouldn't be a problem to walk those men in suits for a while longer.
She was mainly worried about the situation in the guest house.
Although after she left the guest house, she asked her mother, Belmod, who was still staying at the guest house and was disguised as Igarashi Kiyoko, to help her look after her two friends, but after all, she did not confirm their safety with her own eyes. This always made her feel a little uneasy.
She just wants to end the mission quickly and go back to see if they are safe...
Thinking about it in his mind, Bai Hejing stopped.
Because she suddenly discovered that the men in suits behind her seemed to have been accidentally thrown away by her again.
She had no choice but to stop and wait. If the men in suits couldn't find her for a long time, they might wander off to where they would go, and it would be difficult for her to find them...
This is a street along the river. On the left side of the street is the river, and on the right side are ancient brick houses side by side. At this time, Bai Heqing is standing in the corridor under the eaves of a house, with his back against the wall, quietly Look at the river in front of you and adjust your breathing.
"Click."
Time passed minute by minute, but before she could enjoy the tranquility for too long, Bai Hejing suddenly heard a slight movement coming from above the house behind her.
This kind of movement was like the sound of something stepping on the tiles on the roof.
"Click! Click!"
Before she could judge, the sound suddenly became urgent and obvious, and it quickly approached her position.
Immediately realizing that the people on the roof were coming towards her, Bai Hejing quickly backed away under the eaves, while raising the gun and pulling the trigger towards the roof.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
