In the control tower, U crossed his fingers in front of him, and different images were reflected and flashed in the lenses.
Being followed by a reporter is not a good sign; it means that the newspaper has obtained fairly specific intelligence and is beginning to try to dig up more intelligence.
"Red, let me have a word with the other side."
Red handed the phone to Shinji Kido.
Shinji Shirodo blinked, stretched out his hands to hold the phone, put it to his ear, and cautiously tested it.
"Hey?"
Well, he's a silly one.
U came to the conclusion in an instant.
Chapter 113 Kitaoka Hideichi
Because the speakerphone was not on, Red couldn't hear clearly what U said, but judging from the changes in Shinji Shiroto's expression from confusion, sluggishness, disbelief, to his final reluctance to nod repeatedly, U definitely said something extraordinary.
"I will help you!" Shinji Shirodo handed the phone back to Reid with a determined look in his eyes.
Reid raised his eyebrows slightly and took the phone. He wanted to ask U what kind of magic potion he had given to Shinji Shirodo, but the communication was interrupted, which meant that U thought there was no problem anymore.
Seeing that Shinji Kido was reluctant to leave, it was very likely that U had told Shinji Kido everything about the mirror world.
Red moved his lips and sighed helplessly, "This is dangerous."
"I know, but... I want to help, please!" Shinji Shiroto looked into Reid's eyes sincerely.
Reid raised his hand to support his forehead. Now he was sure that U must have told Shinji Kido everything about the mirror world.
Because Shinji Kido is an honest and simple-minded good man, the truth is more useful than lies when dealing with such a good man.
Tell Shinji Shirodo about the dangers of the mirror world, and then Shinji Shirodo's identity will gradually change from a reporter to a good person. Then say "We need your help so that more people can avoid being injured or missing", and Shinji Shirodo will definitely do his best to help.
Even he could see it, so there was no reason why U couldn't hear it.
"Okay... I can tell you something, but I hope you can keep it a secret." At this point, Red had no choice but to accept the situation and put his hands on the table.
"Of course!" Shinji Shirodo raised his hand and patted his chest to assure.
"According to our speculation, the one who caused this series of problems was Kagawa Hideyuki, a professor at Seimeiin University. The mirror story that took place at Seimeiin University and was led by Shibatake Jun was most likely led by Professor Kagawa. The students involved in the mirror story have now been protected by Sylvie Turia, but there are still two people who have not been found."
Red held up two fingers.
"Kirishima Mie and Sano Mitsuru, they are more deeply involved than the other students, and most likely have had direct contact with Professor Kagawa."
Shiroto Shinji crossed his arms, thought for a while, and then asked tentatively, "So we have to find Sano Mitsuru and Kirishima Mihui now?"
"It would be even better if we could find Professor Kagawa directly," Reid nodded and added.
"Hiss - I'll make a phone call to ask my senior."
After thinking for a while, Shinji Shirodo took out his cell phone and called Daisuke Okubo, then turned on the speakerphone and placed it in front of Reid and the others.
This sincere attitude of not treating others as outsiders at all made Mari Sonoda look at her with new eyes.
"Why did you call me so soon? Shinji, you must have been discovered and caught," Okubo Daisuke's voice came from the phone.
"Senior, what do you mean? How could I be caught?" Shinji Shirodo complained dissatisfiedly.
Although, he was indeed caught.
"Oh? Did you find out anything? Is Sylvie Tullia the mastermind behind this incident?!"
As a member of Selvi Tulia, Red was not angry at Daisuke Okubo's blatant prejudice, but Shinji Shirodo grumbled with some dissatisfaction.
"Senior, we haven't found any evidence yet."
"Hmm? Shinji, you must have been drugged by someone."
Okubo Daisuke was a little suspicious, and Shiroto Shinji felt something was wrong, so he immediately changed the subject, "Actually! I did some research and it turned out to be the same as what Miss Lingzi found. This incident is indeed related to the experimental accident that happened at Seimeiin University. Senior, do you have any information about Professor Kagawa?"
"Oh - you are quite good at this, Shinji. I thought you were just being lazy. Miss Lingzi has also found out something. The experimental accident caused by Professor Kagawa is much more serious than what Seimeiin University announced. Several students are still in a coma. Miss Lingzi has decided to go to the hospital to investigate the situation."
Inside the ORE newspaper office, Daisuke Okubo was walking back and forth in front of the computer holding the message sent back by Momoi Reiko.
"Of course, the students' parents could not accept such a result. They jointly sued Professor Kagawa in court. Normally, Professor Kagawa would lose the lawsuit, but..."
Okubo Daisuke paused.
"Professor Kagawa hired an ace lawyer who not only won the case, but also helped draft contracts when Professor Kagawa accepted investments from other companies."
"That means this ace lawyer knows where Professor Kagawa is!" Shiroto Shinji was surprised, "Senior! Who is this lawyer? Where is he now?"
Daisuke Okubo was stunned for a moment, not expecting Shinji Shirodo to be so motivated, but he didn't think about it in other ways and smiled with relief.
"That ace lawyer is called Kitaoka Hideichi. He lives on... East 14th Road in Xingxiu District. Tsk - a wealthy area? Shinji, is this really okay? This Kitaoka Hideichi is a tough guy who can turn black into white."
"Leave it to me, senior!" Shinji Shirodo waved his fist with full enthusiasm.
"Oh - I'm very happy that you are so motivated, although I think it's unnecessary, but Shinji, I remind you that this matter is only known to us at present, and you must not disclose it to others, especially Sylvie Tullia."
Shinji Shirodo's expression froze. He slowly raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he said "oh" vaguely before hanging up the phone.
"Um... Kido, this matter..."
Reid hesitated for a moment and just wanted to comfort Shirodo Shinji, but Shirodo Shinji pulled himself together and stood up with a determined look, "It's okay - I will apologize to you later! The most important thing now is to find Professor Kagawa and put an end to what is happening!"
Shiroto Shinji's straightforwardness and integrity made Red a little stunned. After a moment of silence, Red stood up and extended his hand to Shiroto Shinji, "When this is over, I will go with you to apologize to your senior."
Shinji Kido is a rare and pure good person. Red doesn't want Shinji Kido to bear any psychological pressure because of doing good deeds or wanting to help someone. Since U chooses to ask Shinji Kido for help, he will most likely not make things difficult for the ORE newspaper. After all, the mirror world was originally prepared for refuge.
"Then - let's get going!"
Mari Sonoda stood up and pumped her fist vigorously.
Red blinked and tilted his head. What would happen if he told Mari Sonoda at this time that she didn't have to go and should stay back?
Crying out of grievance?
"What, what are you doing... Why are you looking at me like that?" Sonoda Mari shrank her neck, then immediately reacted with a vigilant look on her face, "Don't even think about getting me out of the way!"
It seems that the possibility of having to follow is higher.
Chapter 114: Zhuo Mo Yilang Appears Again
East 14th Road in Xingxiu District is not very far, so Reid and his party of four people and three cars quickly arrived at their destination. Because Hideichi Kitaoka is a very famous ace lawyer, and there are countless people begging Hideichi Kitaoka to defend them, there is even a special navigation system for Hideichi Kitaoka's residence.
After parking the car in a public parking lot, Red and the others quickly found Kitaoka Hideichi's residence with the help of the navigation system. Just as Shirodo Shinji was about to approach, he was grabbed by Red and dragged to a corner on the side. Sonoda Mari seemed to have seen something dangerous and nervously pushed Metzl over with her. Without waiting for Shirodo Shinji to ask any questions, Red put his finger to his lips.
Although he didn't know why Reid did this, Shinji Shirodo immediately covered his mouth and nodded seriously. He carefully stuck his head out and saw a man standing in front of Kitaoka Hide's family.
The man was wearing a suit, his hair was slightly curled, he wore gold-rimmed glasses, he was holding a silver box in his left hand, and he was holding a book in his right hand.
Sonoda Mari poked her head out from under Red's arm and looked at him with a worried look on her face, "Why are the people from Lucky Clover here too?"
That's right, the person standing in front of Kitaoka Hide's family was the executive Takuma Itsuki who had attacked them at Seimeiin University and taken away the lucky clover on the belt from Sonoda Mari.
"Who knows, maybe Zhinao Group will also have a lawsuit to fight," Reid leaned against the wall with a frown on his face.
Soon, the door of Kitaoka Hideichi's house was pushed open by a man in a well-dressed suit and with a smile on his face. Behind the man stood a tall man with an apron tied around his waist.
"The one who is laughing is Kitaoka Hideichi, and the person behind Kitaoka seems to be his assistant in the office, Yura Goro," Shinji Shirodo, who had obtained a lot of information from his senior editor-in-chief, immediately added in a low voice.
Greeted by Kitaoka Hideichi's smile, Takuma Itsuki raised his chin with arrogance and walked into Kitaoka Hide's family.
A full twenty minutes later, Takuma Itsuki left with the smiling farewell of Kitaoka Hideichi. He held his glasses, smiled with satisfaction, and got into a luxury car.
While waiting for the luxury car that Yilang was riding in, Reid and others came out from the corner.
"What should we do?" Sonoda Mari looked at Reid.
"There is no way Professor Kagawa would join forces with the Zhinao Group. It must be something else," Reid thought for a while, then let out a long breath, raised his hand, and led the others to the door of Kitaoka Hide's family and pressed the doorbell without thinking.
"Ding-dong-"
After a brief pause, the door opened halfway, and Yura Goro's taciturn face appeared in front of Reid.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Reid thought for a moment and put his hand on the door frame to prevent Yura Goro from closing the door. "Actually, we have something we would like to ask Lawyer Kitaoka for help."
"please--"
Sonoda Mari also clasped her hands together and raised her voice.
Before Yura Goro could say anything, a somewhat frivolous greeting came from behind him, "Oh~ I always feel like there are cute girls here. Since there are ladies here, Goro-chan, why don't you welcome them?"
Yura Goro sighed helplessly and opened the door, "I understand."
Under the guidance of Yura Goro, Reid and others met the famous ace lawyer Hideichi Kitaoka. The handmade wooden desk was placed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and Hideichi Kitaoka was sitting upright in the office chair.
When he saw Reid and Shinji Shirodo, Hideichi Kitaoka blatantly showed a look of disdain, but after seeing Metzl and Sonoda Mari, he immediately became enthusiastic again, stood up and casually took out his business card and handed it to Metzl and Sonoda Mari. Shinji Shirodo, who was standing next to them, thought that Hideichi Kitaoka would also give him a business card, so he stretched out his hand with a silly smile.
Kitaoka Hideichi rolled his eyes at Shirodo Shinji and turned around and sat back. Red, who had already seen that Kitaoka Hideichi would treat them with double standards, did not even offer his help.
Shinji Shiroto's mouth twitched fiercely, "This guy..."
"So? What do you two beautiful and dignified ladies want to talk to me about?" Kitaoka Hideichi touched his hair narcissistically.
It seems that the meeting with Zhinao Group went quite smoothly.
Red breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not expose his identity as a Selvi Tulia employee right away.
"A beautiful lady or something..." Sonoda Mari touched her red face, raised her elbow and bumped Red's arm, "Look at her."
Reid rolled his eyes and ignored Mari Sonoda.
"Lawyer Kitaoka, we are here regarding Professor Kagawa's matter."
As a human being, it was definitely not easy for Hideichi Kitaoka to even meet the Lucky Clover, so Red didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Yes - please!" Shinji Shiroto clasped his hands together and bowed to Hideichi Kitaoka with great sincerity.
"Ah~ I hate people like you the most." When facing Reid and Shiroto Shinji, Kitaoka Shuichi's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he held his chin with an impatient look, "Professor Kagawa is my client, why would I tell the client's private information to two suspicious guys?"
"Suspicious? Hey - you... are so rude!" Shinji Shirodo yelled in dissatisfaction.
"Asking for the information of my important client right away, I can't find any other way to describe it except suspicious," Kitaoka Hideichi smiled and raised his hand towards the door, "Goro-chan, show me around."
Yura Goro, who was taller and stronger than anyone present, came over immediately.
"Wait a minute! Please, I really need to know where Professor Kagawa is!"
Seeing that Yura Goro was really going to see him off, Sonoda Mari's eyes rolled, and she clasped her ten fingers in front of her body and blinked pitifully at Kitaoka Hideichi.
Red turned his face away silently.
"This lady has really given me a difficult problem," Kitaoka Hideichi leaned back helplessly and raised his hand in the direction of Metzl. "Of course, if this lady is willing to have dinner with me... I can consider it."
Mazel crossed her arms and smiled with interest.
The corner of Sonoda Mari's eye twitched fiercely, and she raised her hand to stop Metzler behind her, "What do you mean! You greasy man! Let's go! Bah——"
Sonoda Mari stuck out her tongue at Kitaoka Hideichi, turned around and pulled Metzler out angrily. Kitaoka Hideichi, who didn't expect that he would be called a greasy man, stood up in disbelief and pointed at his own face at Yura Goro.
“Do I look greasy!”
"No, the teacher looks very refreshing today," Yura Goro smiled slightly.
Shinji Shirodo wanted to say something, but Red grabbed him by the collar.
"Lawyer Kitaoka, this time! Excuse me."
Reid smiled at Kitaoka Hideichi who was posing in front of the mirror, and dragged out Shirodo Shinji who was about to say something.
Chapter 115: Zhuo Mo Yilang's Attack
"Goro-chan, we're being targeted by a troublesome guy, what should we do?"
Kitaoka Hideichi threw the mirror on the table, folded his arms across his chest and crossed his legs.
"What to do and what not... Of course, solve it as usual. This isn't the first time," Yura Goro said after thinking for a while.
"Goro-chan, who do you think they are?" Kitaoka Hideichi raised the corner of his mouth.
"The only people who would come to see Professor Kagawa are the relatives of the unconscious students," Yura Goro frowned, and understood what Kitaoka Shuichi meant, "Isn't that right?"
"Of course not. I was the one who handled the lawsuit. I have already told all the family members to shut up. It is impossible for anyone to come to Professor Kagawa because of the previous experimental accident." Kitaoka Shuichi smiled confidently, with his hands behind his head. "Then... these guys are most likely Sylvie Turia's men. It seems that they have noticed Professor Kagawa's experiment. It's really distressing~"
Although he said he was troubled, Kitaoka Hideichi smiled with great ease.
As an assistant, Yura Goro immediately realized that Kitaoka Shuichi had a solution, and straightened his back slightly, "What should I do?"
"Goro-chan, that... that Takuma Itsuki just now, please contact him."
Yura Goro was stunned, hesitated for a moment and then confirmed again, "Teacher, are you going to contact that Lucky Clover?"
