542 Did Akemi come back?
Hearing Bai Heqing mention his sister, Shiho Miyano, who had just opened his mouth to say two words, suddenly fell silent at this moment, and just followed him wordlessly.
"Ding Dong~"
The two walked to the door of this villa together, Bai Heqing tore off the mask of disguise on his face, tidied up the clothes on his body, and then reached out and rang the doorbell.
"Here we are."
A man heard the sound and opened the door and looked at Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho who were standing outside the door with a puzzled expression.
"Hello, may I ask you ......?"
"I made an appointment with your president, Mr. Dejima, and I'm going to visit him today." Bai Heqing replied with a smile.
"Oooh! You're the same Mr. Lei that the president said he said, right? Please come in, the president, he's in there now......"
The man suddenly realized, and hurriedly welcomed Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho in.
"President! That Mr. Ray has arrived! â
The man led the two of them all the way to the door of a bedroom on the innermost part of the first floor with a sign that read "President's Studio".
In these few tens of seconds, Shiho Miyano has been quietly looking at the situation in the villa.
Although there are a lot of work desks, books and miscellaneous items in the interior of the villa, the overall decoration pattern is still an ordinary house.
Bai Heqing said that this was where her parents used to live, and she had no impression of it, and her sister never mentioned it to her.
And the relics he said his mother left her...... Has it always been put in this place?
"Please come in."
While Shiho Miyano was pondering, a male voice came from the bedroom, and Shirakawa Kiyoshi led her into the bedroom, where a somewhat elderly man was sitting.
The man wears a brown suit, is obese, has gray hair, has a goatee on his chin, and wears glasses, which is typical of the image of a wealthy middle-aged and elderly man.
He should be the current owner of this villa, Mr. Dejima.
"You're Mr. Lei, aren't you? Come, please take a seat. â
Mr. Dejima glanced at Shirakawa Kiyoshi, immediately got up and smiled and let him sit on the sofa opposite.
"I heard you say before, you're a friend of Atsuji Miyano?"
Atsuji Miyano is the name of Shiho Miyano's father.
Hearing his inquiry, Shiho Miyano hurriedly raised his head and looked at him curiously.
This person...... Know her father?
"That's right."
Bai Heqing nodded lightly and replied, "Whether it is Mr. Atsuji or Ms. Elena, they are all very good friends of mine, and we have collaborated a lot on some research. â
He wasn't lying.
"I see, Mr. Lei is really young and promising......"
Hearing that such a "young" person as Shirakawa Kiyoshi actually had a research collaboration with the once famous scientist Atsuji Miyano, Mr. Dejima suddenly showed a look of admiration on his face.
But then, he looked at Shiho Miyano, who was sitting next to Bai Heqing, who made him feel a little familiar and didn't say a word.
"Then this little girl is ......"
"Mr. Dejima, this villa used to belong to Mr. Atsuji, right?" Without answering his question, Bai Heqing asked.
"Ah, that's right......"
Speaking of this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Mr. Dejima's face.
"Atsushi and I have been friends since we were kids, and this villa has always belonged to the Miyano family, and it was about seventeen or eighteen years ago when I was in a hurry to find a place to open an office, and Atsuji was about to move somewhere else.
Because both parties were just right, he simply rented this villa to me, and this rent has been almost twenty years, and he has not come to me for rent all these years......"
Hearing his words, Shiho Miyano lowered his head.
Of course, she knew why, because after that, her parents accepted the invitation of the Order, and from then on they were closely monitored by the Order, never to return.
Glancing at Shiho Miyano, Shirakawa Kiyoshi continued to ask:
"Did Mr. Atsuji really never come back after renting this villa to you?"
"Well, not exactly, it's actually a once-......"
Noticing Shirakawa Kiyoshi's actions, Mr. Dejima hurriedly replied.
"It was almost when the villa was renovated and his foreign wife and daughter were still with him, because we hadn't seen each other for several years before coming to take over the house, so I was almost taken aback when I saw his wife, haha......
I remember that Atsuji's wife seems to be called Elena, right? It felt like an introvert who never spoke to us.
But his daughter Akemi is a lively child, and even though they only stayed here for one night, they did make a lot of trouble for us......"
"Only one night?" Shiho Miyano still couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hmm."
Looking at her, Mr. Izushima replied with a smile: "Atsuji, he seemed to be in a hurry, they stayed on the second floor of the villa that night, and I remember that when I went up to look for him, he kept looking at his watch and out of the window repeatedly......
Then the next morning, a black sedan came from outside the villa and picked up the Houji family. â
[Black sedan? Is it an organization? ã
Shiho Miyano glanced at Shirakawa Kiyoshi beside him, but saw that Shirakawa Kiyoshi was just looking at her with a smile.
"But ...... talking about it," Suddenly, after a little recollection, Mr. Dejima spoke again:
"I remember Atsushi saying before that he wanted to do a very special research, but he needed a big consortium with deep pockets 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 the person from the big consortium he found, right?
But I don't know why, the black sedan gave me a very uncomfortable feeling, I didn't feel like a serious person, and I didn't know ...... Houjita."
"Don't worry." Before he could finish speaking, Shirakawa Kiyoshi spoke, "Mr. Atsuji-chan is currently conducting a secret research abroad, and their family is doing well now. â
When he lied, his face was never red and his heart was not beating, and Shiho Miyano just glanced at him coldly.
"Oooh! That's good......"
Without doubting Shirakawa Kiyoshi's words, Mr. Dejima nodded again and again.
"So you went abroad? No wonder I haven't been back for so many years, I thought ......"
Mr. Dejima didn't say any more, he looked at Shirakawa Qing again, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Narai, I don't know what ...... you came here this time?"
The two of them have been talking about Miyano Atsuji since just now, which makes him a little puzzled, should you come to me just to ask about Miyano Atsuji?
Of course not.
What happened just now was just what Shirakawa Kiyoshi wanted to tell Miyano Shiho through his mouth.
Now let's get down to business.
"Mr. Dejima, did Akemi come back here more than half a year ago?" Bai Heqing asked with a smile.
