Chapter 486 I test Shirley!
Chapter 486 I test Shirley!
I saw Fūya Rei raising the telescope in his hand and moving the observation position from the living room on the first floor to an open guest room window somewhere on the second floor, and his sight suddenly focused.
The curtains at the window of the guest room were drawn open, and sunlight shone through the transparent glass onto the desk. A little girl who looked extremely familiar was sitting at the desk, flipping through the pages of a book.
“…It’s too much of a coincidence. The pharmaceutical company that Shirley was suspected to be working at was burned down and Shirley’s whereabouts were unknown. Then within a few days, a little girl who looked very similar to Shirley but younger appeared in the office?”
Furiya Ling was thinking in his heart. He couldn’t believe that this was just a coincidence. There must be a reason behind everything. Maybe Shirley really didn’t die in the fire, but escaped through some means…
As a researcher, Shirley’s physical fitness was probably not good enough, and she also did not have all the qualities that other members of the organization should have. The other party probably could not have unlocked the handcuffs and escaped from the fire, but Shirley’s body was not found where the handcuffs were.
At the same time, there were no signs of forced unlocking at the keyhole of the handcuffs that were burned by fire. The other party used a method to get rid of the handcuffs and escape from the fire without unlocking them.
If we ignore the possibility of conventional logic, if Shirley becomes smaller by rejuvenating, she can indeed escape from the handcuffs without struggling…
“…It’s incredible just to think about this kind of thing.”
Furiya Rei’s fingers tapped lightly on the outer shell of the telescope. He listened to the sound of the telescope being knocked and felt a little hesitant. Regardless of whether the little girl was Shirley herself or not, just based on her appearance…
This appearance definitely proves that the other person is related to Shirley, at least a direct relative. If we can get in touch with the other person, we can make a further judgment.
If the other person is really Shirley, perhaps he can bring her back to the organization. At that time, the organization will most likely let Shirley continue to work in the pharmaceutical industry because of her appearance, and he can also use this opportunity to move deeper into the core layer…
“No, really. Now even Gin, the scavenger organization, has disappeared without a trace. Even if we really confirm that the other party is Shirley and bring her back, who can we contact the organization through?”
Suddenly, Fūya Rei murmured to himself, he shook his head and denied his previous idea. Now the organization has been silenced and he can’t contact the organization. This method will definitely not allow him to make any further progress.
“Forget it. There’s no point in thinking so much. I’ll first find a chance to enter Xiang Yuan’s Universal Office and contact that young lady. Even if Mr. Xiang Yuan doesn’t allow me to contact her, I still have to go to school at such a young age.”
There is always a chance to confirm the other party’s identity. After all, there is no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days. Xiang Yuanguang could not really guard against him without knowing that he was already suspicious.
Furutani Rei put the telescope away, turned around, and planned to leave the room and continue collecting information on other prosecutors in the Criminal Prosecutor’s Office. However, the moment he opened the door——
Crunch——————
The door next to him was pushed open almost simultaneously. Fūya Rei subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction where the sound came from, and the person who pushed open the door and walked out also subconsciously turned his head to look at him.
The two people’s eyes crossed in the air, and the next moment it became intense, as if one could see several non-existent sparks flying, which immediately made Fūya Rei’s mood extremely bad.
That’s right, the person who appeared in front of him was the one he had always hated, the person whose organization codename was Rye Whiskey, Dai Moroboshi, or… Shuichi Akai. Although Genko had explained the situation of what he saw at the beginning, Furuya Rei would not easily believe what others said, because there were only three people at the scene at that time.
How could he, Akai Shuichi, and the dead Morobushi Keimitsu — how could Genkou know the true situation at that time? Was it enough to just say something he saw in a comic that sounded like a trick to fool a child?
Furuya Rei’s face darkened and he threw the small bag he was carrying into the room to prevent it from getting in the way. On the other side, Akai Shuichi clicked his tongue twice, and seemed surprised to meet Furuya Rei here.
However, because he saw the shrunken Miyano Shiho at the window of the Xiangyuan Universal Office, Akai Shuichi has a deeper understanding of the wonders of this world.
It was just that he ran into Furuya Rei when he went out. It was a trivial matter. At most, it would make his mood a little worse, but other than that, it would not have any impact on his mentality!
“Why are you here? What are your intentions? Did you see what happened just now?”
Furuya Rei’s voice was cold and his words were blunt. Although he did not directly point out what Akai Shuichi saw, Akai Shuichi understood what Furuya Rei meant.
It was nothing more than seeing the little girl who was suspected to be the shrunken harem Miyano Shiho inside the Xiangyuan Universal Office…
“Oh – are you saying that I saw you, a public security officer, secretly monitoring Lawyer Xiang Yuan?”
Shuichi Akai avoided the topic and started to accuse Furuya Rei of his crime.
“Are you still doing your old job? Still being a black crow?”
There was no need to talk any more. The figure of Furuya Rei disappeared in an instant. Seeing Furuya Rei approaching, Akai Shuichi put the bag in his hand aside and started fighting with Furuya Rei in the corridor.
No matter whether it was the Red Comet or the White Devil, it was impossible to determine the winner in such a short period of time under such circumstances—even though the two of them had never determined the winner in a hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the hotel waiter who happened to be on this floor and was about to ask if cleaning service was needed, and the uncle who heard the noise and opened the door after his nap, both saw the two people fighting, and at the same time, a sharp explosion sounded.
“Stop beating me like this, it’s not going to kill me!”
The figures of Shuichi Akai and Rei Furuya flashed by. They passed through the afterimages left by each other, picked up their small bags as usual, and then took out their documents from them like flowing water.
Two agents who were not from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Division spoke in unison, holding their IDs and talking to the irrelevant people nearby.
“I am a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Division. I am currently just conducting a simple exercise here.”
By the time the irrelevant personnel came to their senses, the two agents had disappeared without a trace. Their main move was to escape without giving anyone else any chance to confirm the authenticity of the documents.
