"Jingle Bell~"

In the clinic where there were only two people, there was a sudden ringing of the phone.

"I'm sorry, I'll take the phone first."

Apologizing to Shirakawa, Miyano Elena hurriedly picked up the microphone of the landline next to her.

"Elena, it's me."

In the microphone, the voice of her sister Mary Akai came, a little serious.

"Sister......" Miyano Elena replied.

Bai Heqing on the side kept quiet, and he couldn't hear the sound in the microphone from a distance.

"Did you and Houji read the things I faxed yesterday?" Mary Akai asked.

A few days ago, Elena Miyano asked her sister, who is an MI6 agent, to help them investigate the intelligence of the Karasuma Group.

And just yesterday, Akai Mari had faxed all the information she had collected to the Miyano family, including a large amount of insider information that ordinary people in society could not understand at all.

"Well, we've seen ......"

Glancing at Bai Heqing beside him, Miyano Elena nodded slightly.

She tried to keep her language as short as possible, so that Shirakawa Qing could not hear what she was talking about at the moment related to the Karasuma Group.

"Now that I've seen it, I guess there are some things I don't need to say again, right?"

From the moment the call was connected, Mary's tone was very serious.

"The Karasuma Group you asked me to investigate is not a clean company, and there are many illegal operations within it, and there are even many lawsuits related to human life.

The ones I send you are all inside information that ordinary people in society can't know at all, and so much black material can be suppressed without a splash, I can only say that the lighthouse country's control over their domestic public opinion has indeed refreshed my cognition again......

Elena, immediately refuse the invitation of this company, don't have anything to do with them, understand? ”

"Well, we'll think about it......"

Glancing at Shirakawa Kiyoshi beside him again, Miyano Elena gave an ambiguous answer.

And this, obviously, made Akai Mary very dissatisfied.

"I'm not asking you to think about it, I'm asking you to refuse immediately!" She repeated her request again, her tone becoming much tougher.

As an older sister, coupled with years of experience as an agent, Marie Akai has already formed a completely different personality from Elena Miyano.

"But, my sister ......"

Elena Miyano seemed to have something to say to Marie Akai, but because it was Shirakawa Kiyoshi sitting next to her, she couldn't speak.

And her attitude, in the eyes of Mary Akai, made her sister even more annoyed.

"Elena! I've already told you a few times! The problems within this Karasuma Group are serious! ”

In the microphone, Mary Akai said almost scoldingly:

"It's not a normal business at all! You're involved with it without permission! Something will definitely happen in the future! If something really happens, how can you let your sister in London save you?! ”

"Sister, I ......"

was scolded by Mary Akai, even over the phone, Miyano Elena subconsciously lowered her head.

Mary Akai's voice in the microphone was so loud that even Shirakawa Kiyoshi, who was sitting on the side, faintly heard some sounds.

[Are you arguing with someone? 】

Just when he began to wonder who Elena Miyano was talking to, a shout suddenly sounded outside the clinic.

"Doctor Miyano!"

This is a boy's voice, it still sounds a little immature, it should be around ten years old, and it must not have reached the stage of voice change.

This shout attracted the attention of Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Elena in the clinic.

The two looked back and saw a little boy running in from outside the clinic.

There was something special about this little boy, he was not a traditional East Asian looker, he was dark-skinned and blonde, and he looked like he was also a mixed-race child.

The little boy had a lot of injuries on his body, some bruises, some abrasions, and some cuts with sharp objects, as if he had just fought with his friends.

Seeing him, Elena Miyano, who was on the phone, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly showed a helpless expression on her face.

"Doctor Miyano!"

Running all the way in, the little boy saw Bai Heqing sitting next to Miyano Elena, and seemed to think that he was also a patient who came to see the doctor, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly shifted his gaze, probably due to the obstruction of Shirakawa Qing's figure, he didn't notice Miyano Elena's hand holding the microphone, so he shouted again.

Looking at Elena Miyano, who was in a dilemma with a microphone in her hand, and was a little at a loss, Shirakawa Qing spoke for her.

"Little guy, Dr. Miyano is on the phone, can you wait a minute?"

He said this to the little boy, and as he swept his gaze over the wounds on the little boy's body, he finally stopped at the wounds that looked like they had been cut by a sharp object.

[These wounds ......]

He frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, but said nothing.

"Huh?!"

was reminded by Bai Heqing, and the little boy hurriedly turned his head sideways, and saw the microphone in Miyano Elena's hand, as well as the look of embarrassment on her face, and the whole person immediately blushed.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Dr. Miyano......" lowered his head, he apologized in a small voice, and his head was about to smoke.

solved this little matter for Miyano Elena, and Bai Heqing didn't say anything more.

But what he didn't know was that the words he had just said clearly passed through the microphone and fell into the ears of Mary Akai on the other side of the world.

Suddenly there was silence, and Mary Akai paused for a long time before asking:

"Elena, who are the people around you?"

"By my side?"

[Could it be that my sister has already found out? 】

My heart suddenly became nervous, thinking that it was Miyano Elena who had guessed that she was in contact with someone from the Karasuma Group, and her tone became a little flustered.

"It's just the patient who came to see me......"

She didn't dare to tell Bai Heqing's identity, so she subconsciously lied, and even in order to cover up her weakness, Miyano Elena deliberately asked:

"What, what's wrong? Sister? ”

Her question once again silenced Mary Akai.

"No, nothing ......"

Rarely, without any follow-up, Mary Akai ended the topic after another silence.

In her mind, a figure that she hadn't seen for more than ten years kept flashing in her mind.

More than a decade ago, she once met a criminal policeman from Tokyo in London, and Marie Akai never mentioned it to anyone but her husband.

[That voice just now, it really seems to be ......]

There was some pain in her chest, and on the other side of the world, Mary Akai, who was also holding the microphone, gradually lowered her eyes.

But this is impossible, he is dead, this is a fact that she personally went to Japan to confirm.

[Bai Heqing, already dead. 】
