Since she had acted with Lupin III and Fujiko Mine a few times, perhaps it was the personalities of those two who affected her.

In short, since then, Bai Hejing's actions in the organization have suddenly become much more restrained and restrained.

She almost no longer has any contact with other members of the organization, becoming a loner, and no longer obsessed with taking on the organization's tasks, strengthening the connection between herself and the organization, and she has begun to have concerns about killing, even when she occasionally goes on a mission, she will never do it unless necessary, and try not to kill innocents indiscriminately.

To sum it simply, it's rotten.

For a killer, this kind of behavior is definitely unqualified, but for Bai Heqing, a father, she is definitely the best choice.

The less you do now, the easier it will be to get out until the last moment.

This is what Bai Heqing is most pleased about, and his smart eldest daughter still saves him his heart after all.

In addition to Bai Hejing, his other wives and daughters, such as Sharon, Bai Ha Rui and the young Bai Ha Ying......

To be honest, when he realized that his ending would most likely not be good, Bai Heqing also thought about just letting go of everything and going back to reunite with them.

But when he thought about this possibility, he realized that it seemed a little unrealistic.

First of all, he is dead.

"Shirakawa Kiyoshi" is dead.

Moreover, in order to pursue the highest efficiency when integrating the European and American branches, he did make a lot of noise in the early days, and there were many people in the intelligence agencies of various countries who stared at him...... Or a lot.

If he goes back now, he will only bring untold trouble to the family.

Of course, more importantly, he noticed that even after he left, Sharon was able to take care of the situation at home.

Is it really appropriate to bring countless troubles to your family just to satisfy your desire to reunite with your family in the past few years, and at the same time make them heartbroken by their departure?

For the answer to this question, Bai Heqing didn't get it in the end.

In the end, he chose to remain silent in hesitation, and let the situation continue like this.

Perhaps, at the end of the day, time will smooth everything out.

It was also at this moment that Bai Heqing, who had completely let go of all his burdens, finally had a lot of time to look back on his past.

From his birth, to his tragic family situation, to his meeting Keiko, and then to this life full of regrets but ups and downs.

If you think about it carefully, his life is also wonderful.

And in the process of looking back at the past, what Bai Heqing thought about the most was really Keiko.

They met at a very young age, and the huge disparity in identity did not affect the relationship between the two of them, and they also experienced a lot of things together, and finally walked together towards the long-doomed tragedy.

For Shirakawa Kiyoshi, Keiko is undoubtedly the most important existence in his heart, and at the same time, one of the people he owes the most.

Not only could he not save her from her illness, but he also failed to fulfill her last instructions to him.

He is not a good policeman at all, not even a good person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that what he has done over the years is heinous.

If there really is heaven and hell in this world, then he is undoubtedly the kind of person who absolutely wants to go to hell.

Every time he thinks of this, Bai Heqing's heart is even more heart-wrenching.

He hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that he put everything down and looked back, he finally realized how many angry things he had done in the more than twenty years since Keiko left......

However, the saddest thing for Bai Heqing himself is that the torment in his heart is not due to a sense of justice on a moral level, he does not have such a thing.

The reason why he suffers is only because he feels that he is sorry for Keiko, and after realizing this, his heart is even more painful.

During that period of time, this almost became Bai Heqing's inner demon, and his later character of letting go of the "little people" and disdainful of making a move was probably formed from this moment.

The shackles of a dead man have finally been tightened for the first time in more than twenty years.

But at the same time, the behavior of repeatedly looking back at the past in this torment also made Bai Heqing finally notice the existence of this shackle.

It was during this period that he suddenly noticed that Keiko seemed to be hiding too many secrets.

Especially in the last years of her death, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have seen through Keiko's mind at that time.

Or where he thought he had seen through, in retrospect, it seemed to be Keiko's intentional guidance at that time.

She deliberately showed him something, and then, in what he thought of herself, guided him step by step in the direction Keiko hoped for......

For example, she told him to be with Sharon when she left.

For example, she repeatedly reminded him that he must be a good cop......

For example, she was once in the hospital room, and he could hear it in a coincidental situation, revealing to Sharon her inner regret and her desire for eternal life......

For example, on the last snowy day before she left, she lay on his back and cried that she was going to lie to him......

For example, when they saw each other for the last time they were alive, Keiko's eyes seemed to hide something......

Looking back, Shirakawa suddenly realized that Keiko seemed to have done a lot of things to him in the final moments near his death.

And at that time, he was just immersed in the grief of Keiko's imminent departure, and he didn't even have the slightest awareness of these?

Is Keiko hiding too deeply?

No, not really......

If you think about it carefully, in the last few years, Keiko actually exposed her flaws many times, but she was able to cover up the past well every time, and she may even think about giving up at one point in the end.

Yes, this has happened.

When was it......

It's Karasuma Renya!

That's right, this is the person.

Keiko had planned an assassination attempt against Karasuma Renya during her lifetime, but sadly, her plan ended in failure, and the price was that Karasuma Renya never set foot in Japan again until Keiko died completely.

Keiko has since lost all possible means to get rid of Karasuma Renya.

Yes, it was after this incident that Keiko had a conversation with him about how to get rid of Karasuma Renya, and whether to get rid of it......

What did she say at the time?

She said...... She also had a plan, a plan that would definitely get rid of Karasuma Renya, but ...... The plan was costly, even hurting him, and she hesitated to do it, not knowing what she should do......

And what did he say to her at the time?

[Do what you think, no matter what happens, I can accompany you to the last moment. 】

At this point, Shirakawa finally realized that the plan that Keiko had said at the beginning was ......

Maybe it's him?
