Chapter 759 Sister, do me a favor

"Sister, why did you suddenly come back to Japan this time? And you didn't even tell me in advance..."

After a brief introduction, Akai Marie and the Miyano family sat down on their seats.

It is worth mentioning that the position where Akai Mari is sitting is the same position where Shirakawa Kiyo was sitting not long ago. On the table in front of her, there is also something that Miyano Hiroshi ordered for Shirakawa Kiyo, but he never drank a sip. That cup of coffee.

As an agent, Akai Marie just took a glance and knew that her sister's family must have seen other people here just now, but she didn't ask any more questions about it.

"If I hadn't accidentally seen the police newspapers in the past two days, I wouldn't have known you were back from London..." Elena Miyano's tone was somewhat sad.

The police newspaper she was talking about was naturally the one Bai Heqing had seen from Sharon this morning, the newspaper with follow-up reports on the "Changchun Cruise Ship" incident.

On the picture in the corner of the newspaper, Akai Mari appeared. Although the picture was very blurry, based on the statement of "foreign female detective" in the newspaper, Elena Miyano was still sure that the person in the newspaper was her relative. elder sister.

As a younger sister, she knows that when her older sister was studying at university in London and in the first few years of her career, she relied on commission fees from being a detective to subsidize her living...

Akai Marie is very good at reasoning.

It's just that Elena Miyano doesn't understand. Akai Marie is obviously an agent of MI6, why did she suddenly return to Japan to start her own job as a detective?

"I was leaving in a hurry, so I didn't think of informing you at the time. I'm sorry..."

Not knowing where she was touched, Elena Miyano noticed that after her sister said these words, her mood suddenly became a little depressed.

"Is there any problem with Chief Shirakawa's case?" Elena Miyano asked tentatively.

After all, she has lived in Tokyo for so many years. Of course she knows what "Chief Inspector Shirakawa" is. He is a legendary figure in the Japanese police circle. Elena Miyano has seen him in police newspapers many times over the years. .

However, such a person actually died during the hostage rescue operation on the Changchun cruise ship some time ago? !

When she heard the news, Elena Miyano was still a little shocked. After all, Inspector Shirakawa had always had a good reputation and was a pretty good detective.

Of course, she was shocked and regretful, but her life still had to go on. After that, Elena Miyano never paid any attention to this matter.

Until she saw her sister in the police newspaper...

Could it be that... the death of Inspector Baihe had something to do with MI6?

However, Akai Marie had no intention of answering her sister's doubts.

"Elena, don't ask so many questions."

In her mind, a figure she hadn't seen for many years flashed across her mind. Akai Marie shook her head subconsciously, as if she realized that her answer was not very good, so she replied as if she wanted to cover it up:

"I came back this time because MI6 had other tasks, and the case related to the Inspector Baihe... I just happened to come across it, so it was just by the way, no other meaning..."

"That's it..."

Looking at Akai Marie, Miyano Elena nodded.

She always felt that her sister didn't tell the truth and seemed to be hiding something, but the current situation was not good enough for her to continue questioning.

"Okay, don't talk about me anymore."

As if she was afraid that her sister would continue to ask questions, Akai Marie quickly dropped the topic.

"Elena, you said on the phone before that you wanted to ask me for something. What was it specifically?"

Today's meeting was not only a reminiscence between sisters after many years, but also because Elena Miyano had mentioned on the phone before that there was something she wanted Mary to help with.

"Ah, I want to ask you, sister, to help me investigate a company." Knowing her sister's identity as an agent, Elena Miyano spoke very directly.

"Illegal business?" Mary frowned slightly as she didn't expect this to be the case.

"No, that company is called Karasuma Group. They are interested in Houji and I's research and want to cooperate with us.

It's just that we don't know the specific situation of this company, and there is very little information available in the society, so I want you, sister, to do us a favor and investigate this Karasuma Group..." After hearing her words , Akai Marie did not agree or refuse immediately, but looked at Elena Miyano in surprise. Her incredible eyes passed through her thick sunglasses and fell on the Miyano couple opposite.

"You two... haven't given up on that fantastic idea yet..."

As an older sister, Akai Marie certainly knew what research her younger sister and brother-in-law were doing.

As a normal-thinking human being, she doesn't believe in those things at all.

Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions of life.

What eternal life? What is immortality? How is that possible...

"It's not just a fantasy! We will succeed!"

Elena Miyano was a little angry and couldn't help raising her hand and patting the table lightly.

"Yes, yes, after so many years, I haven't even been able to solve the financial problem, and yet I'm still successful..." Mary complained sharply without any politeness.

It can be seen that these sisters are definitely close.

"It will be there soon! Sister! Will you help me or not?!"

Elena Miyano's originally fair neck gradually turned red.

Of course, he was angry.

On the side, Miyano Atsushi could only smile bitterly when he saw the two sisters bickering, not daring to interrupt at all.

"Okay, okay, help you, help you..."

Akai Marie sighed helplessly.

"You just said that the company is called... Karasuma Group, right?"

"Well, it seems to be a large multinational company with assets in the United States and Japan." Seeing Mary agree, Elena Miyano suddenly smiled happily.

"I understand. It should take some time. I will fax you the information I have investigated."

At this point, Akai Marie subconsciously picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and drank it. It was only halfway through that she realized that this cup of coffee was not hers.

Although this cup of coffee seemed to have never been drunk by anyone, she didn't have the habit of drinking other people's things casually.

"Who did you meet here just now?" Mary asked casually after putting the coffee back.

"He is a person in charge of the Karasuma Group. He just left not long ago..."

"That's it..."

Without asking any more questions, Mary stood up and prepared to leave.

"Elena, it's almost time for me to leave. Time is urgent. I have to catch the flight back to London. I'm sorry this time. When we have the opportunity next time, we will make an appointment to get together..."

"I know...sister, be careful on the road."

"Ah."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mary turned around and left in a hurry.
