Chapter 781 A distant memory

By the time Shirakawa Kiyoshi went to the institute again, it was almost half a month later. This was also the longest interval between his visits to the institute since the Miyano couple moved into the institute.

In a sense, he has been really busy in the past half month, both at home and outside.

Needless to say, there were suddenly two more people at home. Although Bai Heqing was very considerate, during this critical running-in period, as a father, Bai Heqing could not always be without people. He had to stay at home and cultivate relationships.

Moreover, he can't ignore Bai Herui in the hospital, and has to visit the hospital from time to time.

Fortunately, although Bai Heqing was a little unprepared for the sudden life of "a family with children" at first, with his unremitting efforts, there was no gap between everyone, and the family was enjoying themselves. It was such a happy little day... …

The problems outside the home are naturally the tasks assigned to him by Renya Karasuma.

As time went by, the cheap father-in-law seemed to have finally let go of some of his wariness, and the additional tasks assigned to him were increasing in both difficulty and importance.

Having said that, most of them are still related to murder.

Either to deal with some disloyal traitors in the organization, or to chop off official intelligence personnel who are overly curious.

It's just a matter of killing an individual, and it's nothing more than a bullet. It would be a waste of time to conduct intelligence investigation and site selection beforehand...

In short, after finishing all the things in the past half month, Shirakawa Kiyo finally found time to go to the research institute to visit Mr. and Mrs. Miyano.

"Shirakawa-kun doesn't come very often recently..."

In the research institute, Elena Miyano leaned on her chair and yawned. She hadn't seen her for half a month. Her energy and spirit seemed to be a little weaker than before. Under her eyes, she could still vaguely see the effects of staying up late. dark circles under eyes.

Of course, apart from the fact that she had increased her workload without authorization, Bai Heqing believed that the reason for this situation was mainly related to her pregnant body...

He glanced at Elena Miyano's abdomen, which was covered by her white coat, and there was already an obvious bulge there.

Yes, Elena Miyano is pregnant.

Regarding this matter, Bai Heqing was only a hindsight.

It seems that she was pregnant around the time when the two first met, but because he was not a person who paid much attention to details in this area, and Elena Miyano had not taken the initiative to say it before, so it was He didn't finally realize this until the shape of her belly could no longer hide it.

"There's been a lot going on lately."

After replying to her casually, Bai Heqing glanced at Elena Miyano's round belly again, frowned, and couldn't help but remind her:

"Since you are already pregnant, you can slow down the work at hand. There is no need to increase the workload on yourself..."

Although he didn't know much about this aspect, he had heard that most women would experience a decrease in energy during pregnancy, and if they were not careful, it might cause many serious complications.

As a friend, he was really worried about someone like Elena Miyano staying up late and working overtime every day even though she was pregnant.

"It's okay~"

In response, Elena Miyano just waved her hand, smiled and said nonchalantly:

"I am a doctor myself, so I can handle these matters myself..."

It seems that pregnancy has a great impact on a woman. For example, Elena Miyano is in front of her at this moment. She even chats with Shirakawa Kiyo in such a lazy and casual tone.

"How about you, Shirakawa-kun, your friend? How is the situation at home recently? Are you uncomfortable with this kind of life where you suddenly have children?"

When talking about "that friend", Elena Miyano obviously emphasized her tone.

Obviously, she was making fun of the incident when Bai Heqing came to ask her for advice.

"My friend has a harmonious family relationship, so Dr. Miyano doesn't need to worry."

"Well, I thought Mr. Bai He came today because of..." "Cough!" Bai Heqing raised his hand and clenched his fist and coughed dryly, interrupting her.

Let this kind of dark history just go away.

If people knew that the famous Chief Inspector Shirakawa was also worried about how to deal with family relationships, he would also feel a little embarrassed...

However, it was when he raised his hand that Elena Miyano suddenly noticed some stains on the cuffs of his windbreaker.

The dark red...is blood.

"Shirakawa-kun, did you just come back from outside?" Looking back, Elena Miyano suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"The blood on the cuffs has not been cleaned up..." She pointed out this point directly.

Bai Heqing was stunned when he heard this and looked down at his sleeves.

Elena Miyano was not completely unaware of what Shirakawa Kiyoshi was doing within the Karasuma Group.

After all, there had been several times before that she would notice traces of Bai Heqing's body that had not been cleaned up in some subtle places.

Shirakawa-kun, I'm afraid he has been doing something similar to "white gloves" for President Karasuma...

Once again, the words that Bai Heqing and her sister had reminded her appeared in Elena Miyano's mind.

[Karasuma Group is not a clean enterprise. 】

Elena Miyano truly realized this after truly entering the inside of the Karasuma Group.

The "dirtyness" within the Karasuma Group was probably more serious than she originally thought.

"I remember Shirakawa-kun told me before that you did these things for the Karasuma Group because of a friend, right?"

Mentioning this matter again, Bai Heqing noticed that Elena Miyano's mood suddenly became a little low.

"Why do you ask about this?"

After washing the blood on his cuffs in the sink nearby, Bai Heqing asked.

In an instant, following Elena Miyano's question, the figure of Keiko, who had long been placed deep in his memory, flashed through his mind.

Memories can fade or even change over time.

He didn't know when, but his memory of Keiko was no longer the image of someone who always followed him around, or who always loved to sit at the desk and read.

Every time he thought about it, he could only recall Keiko sitting alone in the pale and dim ward, helplessly waiting for death...

【I regret……】

The familiar but slightly unfamiliar voice sounded in his mind again, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped, just like being suddenly awakened from a nightmare. Bai Heqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, and quickly held the sides of the sink with his hands, taking a big mouthful. He breathed in the air, his chest rising and falling violently.

In the mirror in front of him, he clearly saw the embarrassed expression on his face.

[Am I just... scared? 】
