"Can you tell me your name?"
In the residence of Kuroba Chikage, Akai Shuichi finally asked this question after briefly understanding the relationship between the man in front of him and Mamiya.
Until now when the two of them were chatting, he actually still didn’t know the other person’s name.
"My surname is Bai He, and my last name is Rui."
Bai Herui smiled slightly, put down the water glass in his hand, and said:
"This word has an auspicious meaning in Chinese. Since I was frail and sick since I was a child, my parents finally chose it as my name. It contains the beautiful meaning of their hope that I can grow up healthily.
If I am correct, you should be the capable FBI agent Shuichi Akai whom Mamiya told me in the email, right? "
"it's me."
Akai Shuichi also nodded slightly. At this time, he carefully looked at Bai Herui's whole body in front of him.
Bai Herui's complexion is fair, but it is not the kind of white that is full of beauty, but the kind of pathological whiteness that results from being tortured by diseases for many years.
The slightly larger hospital gown he wore completely covered his figure. It could be seen from the folds on the hospital gown that he had worn it for some years, and it was not a temporary disguise. new clothes.
It can be seen from his sickly complexion and the hospital gown he wears all year round that Bai Herui's words that he is in poor health and has been hospitalized should be true.
Bai Herui's appearance is a typical East Asian appearance, but if you observe carefully, you can still find that there are still some white characteristics in the subtleties of his appearance.
Obviously, Bai Herui is also a mixed race.
"Mamiya told me that, like him, you are currently fighting against that mysterious organization. Is that true?"
When Akai Shuichi looked at him, Bai Herui asked.
"That's right." Akai Shuichi nodded again while calming down.
Obviously, Bai Herui's asking this question was a signal to officially get to the point.
"Mamiya also told me that there is a member of this mysterious organization code-named Shirley. She seems to be conducting some special research. This research is of profound significance to this mysterious organization, and her existence also means He is highly valued by Reger, is that true?" Bai Herui asked again.
"That's right."
Akai Shuichi still nodded.
"but……"
"But Shirley is missing now, is that right?" Bai Herui added what he wanted to say.
"It seems that you do know more than I thought." He was a little surprised, but Akai Shuichi still nodded.
"It's just some information Mamiya told me."
Bai Herui smiled slightly and then asked:
"So for the member of the organization code-named Shirley, have you seen her appearance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the little girl with brown curly hair appeared again in Akai Shuichi's mind.
"It seems he knows."
Seeing his dazed look at this moment, Bai Herui nodded slightly.
"In this case, things will be much easier to handle."
"What do you mean?" Akai Shuichi looked at him doubtfully.
But Bai Herui did not answer him immediately, but continued to ask:
"Mr. Akai, has your FBI conducted any special operations against the organization recently?"
His words stopped Akai Shuichi.
This is not to say that Akai Shuichi is not clear, but that Baiherui's issue has touched upon some core elements within the FBI.
The FBI did have a special operation targeting the organization recently, which was the "Operation Garden" proposed by Mamiya to the headquarters that James had just told him before.
Akai Shuichi's mother, Mary, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this operation. It is estimated that everyone has arrived in Japan by now.
But looking at Bai Herui's appearance, Mamiya didn't seem to reveal this information to him.
Is it because this action had not been approved by the headquarters at that time? Or does Mamiya have other concerns?
"It seems there is."
Akai Shuichi only hesitated for a moment, and Bai Herui saw the clue again. He smiled and said.
His actions made Akai Shuichi instinctively wary.
The man in front of him had keen observation skills beyond his imagination.
Akai Hideo was just stunned and hesitant for a moment twice, but he was keenly caught by Bai Herui both times. This can't be an accident.
"It doesn't matter."
Seeing the tension in his heart, Bai Herui smiled, picked up the kettle, and added some water to the cup in front of Akai Shuichi.
"I think this is information that you need to keep secret for the time being. Naturally, I won't ask any more questions. But after all, Mamiya asked me to help. If I really knew nothing about this, I would not be able to provide you with anything. Practical and effective advice.
Therefore, I will only ask the last question. Mr. Akai only needs to answer my question. "
"What's the problem?" Akai Shuichi frowned slightly and looked at him and asked.
"Is your action time in the near future?" Bai Herui asked.
[Why is this a problem? 】
His question surprised Akai Shuichi.
He had thought that Bai Herui would ask questions about specific action details, but he never expected that what Bai Herui wanted to ask was just time?
What kind of thoughts does this man in front of me hide?
Suddenly, there was a certain overlap between Bai Herui's figure and the image of Miyashin in Akai Shuichi's mind. The two of them were equally unfathomable...
"No need to be nervous. This question is only meaningful to me. Mr. Akai can answer it truthfully."
Suddenly, Bai Herui spoke to calm his inner doubts, then said nothing and waited patiently.
He seemed very sure that Shuichi Akai would answer his question truthfully, without any worry about being deceived.
"We have indeed taken some actions recently."
After thinking for a long time, Akai Shuichi answered him truthfully.
He knew very well that with his mother's character, she would definitely launch an action against the organization immediately after arriving in Japan, and she would not wait for a moment longer.
"That's really all ready."
Hearing his answer, Bai Herui smiled again.
"It just so happens that I have a friend. Since there is still enough time, I think I can convince her to help you conduct an operation against the organization."
"Who is he?" Akai Shuichi asked.
"Her name is Kudo Yukiko, she is the wife of the famous family member Kudo Yusaku, and she is also my elder.
Of course, more importantly, she also masters the art of disguise similar to Mamiya.
Mr. Akai, since you know Shirley's appearance and there has been an operation against the organization recently, why not ask her to do you a favor and disguise yourself as a fake Shirley to... lure out Regel? "
