Chapter 762 Elena, who is by your side?

"Dingling bell~"

In the clinic where there were only two people, a phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."

After apologizing to Shirakawa Kiyoshi, Miyano Elena quickly picked up the microphone of the landline next to her.

"Elena, it's me."

The voice of her sister Akai Marie came from the phone, a little serious.

"Sister..." Elena Miyano responded.

Bai Heqing on the other hand remained quiet, unable to hear the voice on the microphone from his distance.

"Have you and Atsushi read the things I faxed yesterday?" Akai Marie asked.

A few days ago, Elena Miyano asked her sister, an MI6 agent, to help them investigate the information about the Karasuma Group.

And just yesterday, Akai Marie had faxed all the information she had collected to the Miyano family, including a large amount of inside information that ordinary people in society had no idea about.

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

Glancing at Shirakawa Kiyo beside her, Miyano Elena nodded slightly.

She tried to keep her words as brief as possible to prevent Bai Heqing from hearing that she was talking about things related to the Karasuma Group.

"Now that I've seen it, I think there are some things I shouldn't say anymore, 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. There are many illegal operations within it, and there are even many lawsuits involving human lives.

The information I sent you is inside information that ordinary people in society have no idea about. So much black information can be suppressed without splashing. I can only say that the lighthouse country controls their domestic public opinion. It really refreshed my knowledge again...

Elena, immediately reject this company’s invitation and don’t have anything to do with them, do you understand? "

"Well, we will consider it..."

Glancing at Shirakawa Kiyoshi next to her, Elena Miyano gave an ambiguous answer.

And this obviously made Akai Marie very dissatisfied.

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

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

"But, sister..."

Elena Miyano seemed to have something to say to Akai Marie, but because of the fact that Shirakawa Kiyoshi was sitting next to her, she was unable to speak.

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

"Elena! I've told you several times! The problems within the Karasuma Group are serious!"

On the phone, Akai Marie said almost scolding:

"It is not a normal company at all! You have nothing to do with it without permission! Something will definitely happen in the future! If there is an accident, how can you ask your sister in London to save you?!"

"Sister, I..."

After being scolded by Akai Marie, Elena Miyano subconsciously lowered her head even over the phone.

Akai Marie's voice on the microphone was so loud that even Shirakawa Kiyo, who was sitting nearby, could faintly hear some noises.

【Are you arguing with someone? 】

Just when he couldn't help but be curious about who Elena Miyano was talking to, a shout suddenly sounded outside the clinic.

"Dr. Miyano!"

This is a boy's voice, which sounds a bit immature. He should be around ten years old, and he must not have changed his voice yet. This shout attracted the attention of Shirakawa Kiyo and Miyano Elena inside the clinic.

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

There is something special about this little boy. He does not have a traditional East Asian appearance. He has dark skin and blond hair. He looks like he is of mixed race.

The little boy had many injuries on his body, some were bruises, some were scratches, and some were cut by sharp objects, as if he had just had a fight with his friends.

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

"Dr. Miyano!"

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

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

"Little guy, Dr. Miyano is on the phone. Can you wait a moment?"

He said this to the little boy, while his eyes swept over the wounds on the little boy's body one by one, and finally stopped at the wounds that looked like cuts by sharp objects.

【These wounds...】

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

"Eh?!"

After being reminded by Bai Heqing, the little boy quickly turned his head and saw the microphone in Elena Miyano's hand and the somewhat embarrassed look on her face, and his whole face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Doctor Miyano..." He lowered his head and apologized softly, his head almost smoldering.

After solving this small matter for Elena Miyano, Bai Heqing said no more.

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

Suddenly there was silence. Akai Marie paused for a long time before asking:

"Elena, who is the person next to you?"

"by my side?"

[Has my sister already discovered it? 】

Elena suddenly became nervous, thinking that her sister had guessed that she was in contact with people from the Karasuma Group, and her tone became a little flustered.

"Just, they're just patients who came to me for treatment..."

She did not dare to tell Shirakawa Kiyo's identity, so she subconsciously lied. Even in order to cover up her guilty conscience, Miyano Elena deliberately asked:

"What, what's wrong? Sister?"

Her question made Akai Marie fall into silence again.

"No, it's nothing..."

Without any further questioning, Akai Marie ended the topic after another silence.

In her mind, a certain figure that she had not seen for more than ten years kept flashing through her mind.

More than ten years ago, Akai Marie had never mentioned the story of a detective from Tokyo she had met in London to anyone except her husband.

[The voice just now really seemed like...]

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

But this was impossible, he was already dead, a fact she had personally confirmed by going to Japan.

【Bai Heqing, is dead. 】
