"White River, I saw a report earlier."

"Huh?"

A few days after returning from that academic seminar, Bai Heqing was having dinner with Sharon, and Sharon suddenly mentioned something.

"Huh?" Knowing that Sharon couldn't make small talk to him about meaningless things, Bai Heqing looked up at her.

By the way, the person in charge of cooking is him, not Sharon.

"It's a follow-up report on the Changchun cruise ship incident......"

After a moment's hesitation, Sharon spoke up anyway.

The Changchun cruise ship incident, which was a special event that led to the "death" of the character Bai Heqing and made him say goodbye to the past completely.

Worried about affecting Bai Heqing's mood, Sharon didn't want to bring up this matter again, but ...... In the past two days, she unexpectedly saw the Japanese police's report on some follow-up events after this incident.

There was a suspicion that made her curious, and she couldn't help but want to ask Bai Heqing.

"Did something happen?" There was no change in his expression and tone, Bai Heqing looked at her and asked.

"Didn't the head of that terrorist flee during the previous actions of the police? I've just watched the news in the past few days, and it seems that during this time, the leader has sneaked back to Japan, preparing to plan another terrorist attack......

It's just that before he had time to start this operation, the police arrested him, but ...... It was with the help of a foreign female detective......"

Bai Heqing immediately realized that the last "foreign female detective" was the topic that Sharon really wanted to talk to him.

"Is there anything wrong with the foreign female detective?"

Scooping some soup into Sharon's bowl, Bai Heqing asked.

"I don't know, I just feel ...... She may have something to do with Shirakawa. ”

Saying something that made Bai Heqing feel a little inexplicable, Sharon handed the newspaper to Bai Heqing from behind.

"This foreign female detective, the police seem to be deliberately concealing her information, the newspaper only said that she helped the police in this operation, and there is no detailed introduction, and even her name has not been announced......

Sharon pointed to a photo of the scene in the corner of the newspaper.

The photo seems to have been captured by a reporter, and it is a little blurry, but it can still be vaguely seen that it is a woman wearing a sunhat, beautifully dressed, and with a good figure.

The woman wears thick sunglasses, so she can't see her face clearly, but judging from the white hair color of the woman in the black and white picture, she should have blonde hair, judging from this, it is likely that she is from Europe and the United States.

Looking down at the somewhat vague female figure on the picture, Bai Heqing was puzzled at first, and felt a little familiar.

[Is that her?! 】

Immediately, a figure flashed in his mind, and the whole person was stunned, and his pupils contracted for a moment.

"Baihe, do you really know each other?"

Noticing the change in the expression on Bai Heqing's face, Sharon showed a look of "sure enough", and sighed softly with a little helplessness.

"Well, I met in London before."

Nothing to hide, Shirakawa nodded, and at the same time withdrew his gaze from the newspaper.

"Marie Sera, I mentioned to you before that it was with me that I was operating in Europe at the time, and that MI6 agent and, of course, Mina, was also ......"

On a trip to London more than ten years ago, it was there that Shirakawa Kiyoshi first met Mary and Mina Okino.

Trying not to let himself think about Mina Okino, Shirakawa Kiyoshi turned his attention back to Mary.

More than ten years have passed, and he almost forgets this friend who has known him for less than a week, but has experienced life and death together.

[How did she end up in Tokyo at this time?] 】

[Is it a coincidence?] Or ......]

Bai Heqing stopped his thoughts again and didn't let himself continue to think in this direction.

However, he thought so, but Sharon didn't think so.

"I'm so envious......

Silently picking up the rice bowl in front of her, Sharon suddenly spoke.

"What?" Some didn't realize what she wanted to say, Bai Heqing asked suspiciously.

"Envy my husband's woman......"

deliberately used the title of "husband", staring at Bai Heqing with a faint gaze, Sharon complained:

"It's an 'old lover' I haven't seen for more than ten years, and as soon as I heard that my husband was 'dead', I immediately flew from London to Tokyo, which is so good, really good, really enviable......

But I've only known each other for a week, and I've been thinking about it for more than ten years, and I don't know what kind of special charm my husband has, making me a wife...... I'm so curious......"

[Ah, trouble, does this mean jealousy......]

Bai Heqing had a headache.

This was the first time he could feel such a thing as "a chill to the bone" from just one person's words.

"Sharon, I think you're mistaken."

Also silently picked up his own rice bowl, Bai Heqing explained:

"First of all, we have no evidence that Mary came to Japan for me, she was an MI6 agent, maybe she was on some mission, and she happened to meet my affairs, so she got involved......

As for what you call 'old lover,' I can assure you that I have always treated her as a good friend during my time in London......"

"Oh? And what about what she does to you? ”

Keen to grasp the loopholes in Shirakawa's words, Sharon continued to ask, her tone a little aggressive.

This posture is obviously nothing, but it makes Bai Heqing inexplicably have a strange illusion that he seems to have been caught and raped?

"I think that's what she should be like that...... Right? ”

In his mind, some details of the week Mary had been with him flashed, and Bai Heqing's tone suddenly became a little uncertain.

"What's the tone of your question? Give me a good denial! ”

The blue tendons on her forehead bulged, and Sharon sighed faintly.

"Well, forget it, this kind of thing will definitely happen a lot in the future anyway......"

When she says this, she always gives people the feeling that she has realized something.

This made Bai Heqing a little incomprehensible.

"I don't understand, Sharon, why do you think like that?"

"That's right, Shirakawa, you have always had a special attraction that makes certain women want to get close to you......" Sharon said meaningfully.

"Do I still have this special ability?"

"Anyway, I can't lock you up with me for the rest of my life, so ...... If it's just a good friend, I can leave it alone, but if I cheat, I'll be angry, understand? ”

"Well, I understand...... Although I think Sharon, your worries are completely unnecessary......"

Even if he didn't agree with Sharon's words, Bai Heqing nodded seriously in response to her.

"So, that's what you're doing, it's easy to attract a certain type of Japanese woman, especially those who have been married......"

Sighing, another sentence that Bai Heqing didn't understand, Sharon quickly finished eating, got up and said.

"I won't tell you, it's almost time for Yoko to get out of school, I'll pick her up."

"I'll ...... with you"

"Jingle Bell~"

As soon as Bai Heqing spoke, the phone at their home suddenly rang.

The two of them don't have any friends to talk to now, so this ringtone is only a possibility.

It's a "work" thing.

"You go and get busy, don't care." Sharon said.
