In the afternoon, Arakawa Shigeto hurriedly called himself, and the noise around him was very loud; it seemed he was in a hospital.
"Bai Sang, we have found the location of the tracker you provided us earlier. However, we only found the car in an open area on the outskirts and did not see anyone. Moreover, they left a bomb in the car, and three people were seriously injured!" Arakawa Shigeto's words were filled with anger, clearly unable to tolerate the actions of these people any longer.
Bai Yujing did not expect such a result; it seemed these individuals were very experienced. "I am very sorry about this. I did not anticipate that it would turn out this way!"
"It’s not your fault, Bai Sang. It’s just that these people are too cunning. I hope if you have any leads regarding them, you can provide them to us in a timely manner. These people are too dangerous; they even kill innocent civilians. It’s simply lawless. I must bring them to justice!" At this point, Arakawa Shigeto raised his voice significantly, indicating that the injury to his colleagues had dealt him quite a blow.
At that moment, Arakawa Shigeto changed his tone: "By the way, someone asked me to make sure to meet you!"
"Who wants to see me?"
"It's the daughter of another victim from before. She learned about Bai Sang from me and entrusted me to ensure she meets you. I have already given her your address and contact information; she should be reaching out to you soon!"
"Eh?" Before Bai Yujing could respond, Arakawa Shigeto had already hung up.
Beside him, Officer Meiko immediately said, "Chief, why did you make that call? And why involve that young girl in such an incident?"
Arakawa Shigeto could hear the dissatisfaction in his subordinate's voice. His expression changed; he was no longer as furious as during the phone call but appeared more composed: "There’s no choice. Meizi, do you know? Today that international thief Heizi has already escaped by ferry and killed seven of our customs anti-smuggling officers while blowing up an anti-smuggling boat."
"This incident has drawn significant attention and anger from above. The pressure on me is immense, and we still know nothing about those who remain hidden domestically—their intentions, the potential harm they could cause, or even their identities."
Meizi gasped in shock; she did not expect that one escaped criminal could cause such great damage: "This is outrageous! These people…!"
"I have a feeling that Bai Yujing might be our breakthrough point. We are currently at a loss regarding these individuals," Arakawa Shigeto said quietly.
Meizi suddenly realized: "So that's why you just…"
Amiya Miri was still wearing a long white dress, her face without makeup, and a pair of white shoes on her feet. She walked somewhat unsteadily into the Five-Star Hotel, waiting for the front desk to make a phone call before cautiously getting on the elevator.
The interior of the hotel was somewhat luxurious; in Bai Yujing's words, it was tacky to the core, all done up in a flashy gold. It looked like something a nouveau riche person would create, but this high-end luxurious atmosphere had indeed been crafted. Meili was studying the decoration style and structure, dreaming of becoming an architectural designer in the future. Although she was still in high school, she already had some ideas about her future.
Her biggest dream was to get into Tokyo University. Waseda University would also be great; their architectural design program was very strong as well. However, this time she came to find out the true cause of her father's death. The police officer who visited told her that this person might know the truth about her father's death. Amiya Miri knew that she couldn't do much on her own, but she wanted to know how her father died and why those people wanted to kill him.
Meili understood that her father was not a good person, but over the years he had started to change. He had withdrawn from his previous gang and was doing odd jobs to make a living. Her father told Meili that he had thought of a way to make some money and might open a bakery on the street in their hometown; her father's bread was the best.
Unfortunately, before she could see any of this come to fruition, her father had already been murdered. These people could never be forgiven. Amiya Miri stormed out of the elevator, determined and resolute as she knocked on her target's door.
Bai Yujing was holding a cup of coffee while watching TV in the lobby. However, this beneficial activity was deeply scorned by Li Hao, who said that watching TV was something old men did. So at that moment, Li Hao was holed up in his study fiddling with his computer.
When Bai Yujing opened the door, she saw a somewhat stubborn yet delicate face. Dressed very ordinarily, but it gave off a different vibe when worn by her. "You’ve come!"
"Mr. Bai? What are you doing here!" Amiya Miri did not expect that it would be Bai Yujing who opened the door; surprise showed on her face as she took two steps back with her hands clasped over her chest, resembling a little mouse. She felt different from how she appeared at the café with Nana, where Meili seemed more confident and cheerful.
Bai Yujing fully opened the door: "Come in; you’ve found the right place!"
At that moment, Li Hao in the room seemed to be startled like a cat and immediately rushed out: "I think I heard Meili-chan's voice."
As Li Hao rushed out and saw Amiya Miri, his eyes lit up as he dashed to the door and grabbed Amiya Miri's hands: "Meili-chan, are you here to see me?"
Amiya Miri jumped in surprise as Bai Yujing reached out and swatted away Li Hao's inappropriate hands. "Don't act like a lunatic; mind your image, do you understand?"
"Step aside, Meili is here to see me. What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and move, the Light Bulb is about to blind me!" Li Hao was very displeased.
"Um, sorry, I'm here to see Mr. Bai!" Amiya Miri didn't understand what Li Hao was saying, but from their expressions and actions, she could guess a little.
Bai Yujing extended his hand: "Hello, I am Bai Yujing!"
"You are? Right, I didn't realize it before!" Amiya Miri immediately recognized that this was the person she wanted to meet.
Bai Yujing and Amiya Miri shook hands, then he said to Li Hao: "See? The one here to see me can step aside now!"
Li Hao's face immediately fell: "No way, Old Bai, you know what they say? A friend's wife should not be touched!"
"Stop joking around. She's here for her father's matter; let's be serious. If you keep this up, you'll ruin your impression!"
Sitting on the sofa by the window in the living room, Li Hao busily prepared coffee while Meili looked around at the room's decor: "This place must not be cheap!"
After taking a sip of coffee, Bai Yujing smiled and said: "About two hundred thousand yen a night, but this hotel is owned by Li Hao's family, so we aren't paying anything to stay here!"
Bai Yujing also highlighted Li Hao's presence, giving him some credit. Amiya Miri nodded but didn't drink the coffee. After a moment of silence, she asked: "I'm here to find out the cause of my father's death. Please tell me!"
As she spoke the last part, Amiya Miri stood up and leaned towards Bai Yujing, pleading. Li Hao immediately stood up: "What's wrong? Is something happening? Meili, you can sit down and talk! Old Bai, translate for her!"
Bai Yujing looked at Li Hao with some annoyance; can a man in love really be so clueless? However, he still said: "Miss Amamiya, you can sit down. But I don't know much either, so I may not be able to help too much."
Bai Yujing shared what he knew. After listening, Amiya Miri said: "So my father must have been used by someone, right? They stole from the Tokyo National Museum. No wonder my father said he would find a way to get some money; so that's how it was!"
Meili spoke these words while covering her face, starting with a very soft voice, and gradually began to sob. Bai Yujing didn't know what to say; such a thing happening to a sixteen-year-old girl indeed felt somewhat cruel. However, fortunately, Amiya Miri was truly strong.
Amiya Miri cried until the end, wiping her tears: "I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold it in!"
"It's okay, we understand. However, I still want to tell Miss Amamiya that this matter falls under the responsibility of the police. The other party consists of armed and very ruthless criminals, not something you can confront. The subsequent matters should be handled by the police, not something a girl like you should get involved in."
Amiya Miri smiled through her tears: "You don't think I would go seek revenge on those criminals, do you?"
Seeing Amiya Miri come this far and sensing her determination, Bai Yujing really thought she had such intentions. Amiya Miri said, "I just want to know why my father died. Besides, I believe these people will not have a good ending because there are still Officer Arakawa and Mr. Bai around, right?"
Well, regarding Amiya Miri's flattery, Bai Yujing felt a bit embarrassed!
After sending Amiya Miri off, both Bai Yujing and Li Hao felt somewhat heavy-hearted. The word "death," which had previously been on paper, now felt burdensome in reality. Every person's death brings immense harm to another group of people.
"Unforgivable! We must bring these people to justice!" At that moment, Li Hao transformed into Saint Seiya, filled with righteousness. "I've decided; this time I will go with you to catch these people!"
"Eh?" Bai Yujing's expression immediately changed!
"If I catch these people, Meili-chan will definitely be very grateful to me! Wouldn't she then owe me her life? Or perhaps offer herself? Or maybe offer herself?" Li Hao's sense of justice lasted less than two seconds before he returned to his usual self.
"Die, you lolicon! I've seen through you!"
