Hearing Shirakawaki mention his sister, Miyano Shiho, who had just spoken a few words, suddenly fell silent again and just followed him wordlessly.
"Ding dong~"
The two of them walked to the door of the villa together. Bai Heqing tore off the disguise mask on his face, straightened his clothes, and then reached out and rang the doorbell.
"coming."
A man came over after hearing the sound. After opening the door, he looked at Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho standing outside the door with puzzled expressions.
"Hello, may I ask you..."
"I have made an appointment with your president, Mr. Dejima, and I am coming to visit him today." Shirakawa Kiyoshi replied with a smile.
"Oh! Are you the Mr. Lei that the president mentioned? Come in quickly, the president is inside now..."
The man suddenly understood and quickly welcomed Shirakawa Kiyo and Miyano Shiho in.
"President! That Mr. Lei is here!"
The man led the two of them until they walked to the door of a bedroom with the sign "President's Studio" on the innermost floor.
In these few dozen seconds, Miyano Shiho had been quietly observing the situation in the villa.
Although there are many work tables, books and sundries inside the villa, the overall decoration pattern is still that of an ordinary residential house.
Bai Heqing said that this was the place where her parents lived before. She had no memory of it at all, and her sister had never mentioned it to her.
And the relics that his mother left for her...have they always been placed in this place?
"Please come in."
While Miyano Shiho was deep in thought, a male voice came from the bedroom. Shirakawa Kiyoshi took her into the bedroom, where an older man was sitting.
The man is wearing a brown suit, has a fat body, gray hair, a goatee on his chin, and wears glasses. He looks like a typical wealthy middle-aged and elderly man.
He should be the current owner of this villa, Mr. Dejima.
"Are you Mr. Lei? Come on, please take a seat."
Mr. Dejima glanced at Shirakawa Kiyoshi, immediately stood up and smiled, letting him sit on the sofa opposite.
"I heard you say before that you are a friend of Miyano Hiroshi?"
Miyano Atsushi is the name of Miyano Shiho's father.
Upon hearing his question, Miyano Shiho quickly raised his head and looked at him curiously.
This person...knows her father?
"That's right."
Bai Heqing nodded slightly and replied: "Both Mr. Houji and Ms. Elena, they are my good friends. We have collaborated a lot on some research."
He didn't lie in what he said.
"I see, Mr. Lei is really young and promising..."
Hearing that a ridiculously "young" person like Shirakawa Kiyoshi had research cooperation with the once-famous scientist Miyano Hiroshi, Mr. Dejima suddenly showed a look of admiration on his face.
But then, he looked at the silent Miyano Shiho who was sitting next to Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who looked familiar to him.
"Then this little girl is..."
"Mr. Dejima, this villa used to belong to Mr. Hiroshi, right?" Without answering his question, Shirakawa Kiyoshi asked.
"Ah, that's right..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Dejima suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Ausuji and I have been friends since childhood. This villa has always belonged to the Miyano family. It was about seventeen or eight years ago. At that time, I was anxious to find a place to open an office, and Ausuji also happened to be there. To move somewhere else.
Because both parties were just right, Housi simply rented this villa to me, and this lease has been for almost twenty years. In these years, Housi has never come to me to ask for rent..."
Hearing his words, Miyano Shiho lowered his head.
Of course she knew why, because after that, her parents accepted the organization's invitation and were closely monitored by the organization. They never came back until their death.
After glancing at Miyano Shiho, Shirakawa Kiyo continued to ask:
"Did Mr. Housi really never come back after renting this villa to you?"
"Well, that's not entirely true. In fact, I came back once..."
Noticing Shirakawa Kiyoshi's behavior, Mr. Dejima quickly replied.
"About when the villa was just renovated, he brought his foreign wife and daughter with him, because we hadn't seen each other for several years before coming to take over the house, so when he saw his wife, I was almost shocked, haha...
I remember Hiroshi’s wife’s name seems to be Elena, right? It feels like an introvert who has never spoken to us.
But his daughter Mingmei is a lively child. Although they only stayed here for one night, they really caused a lot of trouble for us..."
"Only stayed for one night?" Miyano Shiho still couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Um."
Looking at her, Mr. Dejima replied with a smile: "He seemed to be in a hurry at the time. They stayed on the second floor of the villa that night. I remember that when I went up to find him, he kept saying Looking at the watch and out the window...
Then early the next morning, a black car came outside the villa and picked up Houji and his family. "
[Black car? Is it an organization? 】
Miyano Shiho glanced at Shirakawa Kiyo beside him, but saw Shirakawa Kiyo just looking at her with a smile.
"But speaking of it..." Suddenly, after recalling a little, Mr. Dejima said again:
"I remember Hiroshi once said that he wanted to do a very special research, but he needed a large financial group with strong financial resources to provide him with financial support.
Thinking about it this way, the black car that came to pick them up at that time should be from the big consortium he found, right?
But I don’t know why, that black car gave me an uncomfortable feeling, and I always felt like I didn’t look like a serious person, and I didn’t know what kind of person he was..."
"Don't worry." Before he finished speaking, Bai Heqing said: "Mr. Houji is currently conducting a secret research abroad. Their family is living well now."
When he told lies, his face never turned red and his heart skipped a beat. Miyano Shiho just glanced at him coldly.
"Oh! That's good..."
Mr. Dejima nodded repeatedly without doubting Shirakawa Kiyo's words.
"So you went abroad? No wonder you haven't come back for so many years. I thought..."
Mr. Dejima didn't say any more. He looked at Bai Heqing again and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lei, I don't know why you came here this time..."
The two of them had been talking about Miyano Hiroshi's past affairs since just now, which made him a little confused. Did you come to me just to ask about Miyano Hiroshi?
of course not.
What just happened was just what Shirakawa Kiyo wanted to tell Miyano Shiho through his mouth.
What comes next is the real topic.
"Mr. Dejima, did Akemi come back here more than half a year ago?" Bai Heqing asked with a smile.
