"The other one......"

In the car, hearing Shiho Miyano's inquiry, Shirakawa Kiyoshi pondered for a while and then said his answer.

"I think it's Belmode."

This is the answer he thinks is the most appropriate.

The second Akemi Miyano who appeared in the amusement park was not in his plan, and he had no reason to make a second Akemi Miyano at all, after all, it would not make any sense except to make people doubt the authenticity of the first Akemi Miyano.

"Belmode?"

Shiho Miyano was a little incomprehensible to his answer.

It is true that Belmode also disguises and changes his voice, but why did Belmode appear there disguised as Akemi Miyano?

"Why her?"

"It's just an answer derived from the end result."

Shirakawa Kiyoshi explained.

"Judging from the results of yesterday's amusement park incident, Akemi Miyano, who appeared later, did not have any direct contact with those people in the FBI, and she has not been seen again in Edo Street today.

It's as if she appeared yesterday just to shake it in front of everyone involved in the event and make everyone ...... In particular, you may also be following this matter, and you know that Akemi Miyano is not alone, so you have doubts about the authenticity of the Akemi Miyano that I arranged.

In this way, it will go a long way to preventing you from being attracted to your sister's presence and thus falling into the trap of the organization and being caught by me.

The only person who can satisfy this motivation and the ability to disguise at the same time is Belmode, and even if it is not her, it must be a pawn designated by her to do this.

However, considering the danger and particularity of this matter, I personally think that it is more likely that she is herself......

Of course, because there have been a lot of things in the past two days, I am only speculating about this, and I haven't had time to ask her yet. ”

Seeing Shirakawa Kiyoshi saying things like "trap" and "catch her" so calmly, Miyano Shiho always felt a little strange in his heart.

It was as strange as if a thug was in front of her and was discussing with her how to catch her and sell her for money......

Shaking his head and throwing this strange thought away from his mind, Shiho Miyano continued to ask:

"But what reason did she have to do that?"

This is also where she wonders, what reason does Belmode have to help her like this?

In Miyano Shiho's memory, she didn't have any contact with the Thousand-Faced Witch when she was in the organization, and the two of them were not intimate, at least they were regarded as passers-by.

It's the kind of relationship that I usually accidentally see and won't even say hello.

With this unfamiliar relationship, what reason does Belmode have to help her?

"Is the motive ......?"

Bai Heqing was silent again, but compared to the previous times, he was silent for a lot more time this time, and his face was no longer the contemplative expression before, but helplessness and guilt.

Shiho Miyano rarely saw this kind of expression on his face, and in her previous memories, Shirakawa Kiyoshi often showed this expression only slightly when her parents were mentioned.

What Miyano Shiho didn't even notice was that she didn't know when she started, she had already turned her head directly to look at the look on Bai Heqing's face, instead of looking at it with that kind of sneaky look.

"I want to ......"

Finally, after a long silence, Bai Heqing spoke again.

"I'm afraid her real motive is not you, but mine."

"Huh?"

This is also the answer that Shiho Miyano didn't expect.

“…… You? ”

Suddenly, a conjecture crossed her mind.

"What's your relationship with her?"

In the past ten years, Shirakawa Kiyoshi has never told her about his family, even if Miyano Shiho takes the initiative to ask, Shirakawa Kiyoshi never says.

Over time, she stopped asking.

Now that I think about it, Bai Heqing will be disguised, and Belmode will also be disguised, so won't the two really have anything to do with each other, right?

"I've killed a lot of people in the past."

Without answering her directly, Bai Heqing suddenly opened his mouth and said something that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic the two were discussing now.

"Twenty years ago, one thing was repeated in my life, and that was to save people.

From saving their lives to solving the small problems in their lives, I have been doing my best in the process, and the end result is mostly impeccable.

From anyone's point of view at the time, I was supposed to be a perfect ...... without flaws The police. ”

When the word "police" was spoken, Shirakawa Kiyoshi paused slightly.

Shiho Miyano didn't understand the meaning of his pause, she was just surprised by what Shirakawa Kiyoshi said.

The police?

Similarly, she didn't know that Bai Heqing was actually a police officer before.

During the ten years that Bai Heqing took care of her, although he had always been kind to her, he never mentioned anything to her about his past......

Wait a minute!

Maybe it's not entirely unmentioned.

Shiho Miyano suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the police and detective stories that Bai Heqing used to lull her to sleep before were all from the past that he had personally experienced?

"But Shiho, you know what?"

Shirakawa Kiyoshi's voice once again brought Shiho Miyano's thoughts back to reality.

"I didn't really feel any of these things in my heart, even though people at the time had created countless positive accolades and compliments for my actions.

But I myself have never felt the slightest sense of satisfaction and recognition from these things that save others, as if it is not the real me who is praised by them, but someone else.

And the reason why I have been doing this dutifully is not because of how much sense of justice I have in my heart, or how much I hate those criminals, none of this.

I did it just because someone wanted me to do it, so I did it.

I noticed this very early on.

If I think about it, this may have happened after my mother's tragic death, as if something was suddenly missing from my mind, and the important existence of life seemed to have become a very ordinary thing in my cognition.

It can be saved at will, or it can be deprived at will, as if it is the clothes on our bodies, if we like it, we will wear it, and if we don't like it, we will lose it, and if we don't like it, we can change it again......

And the first person to notice this change in me was my fiancée at the time......"
