Watching Miyano Shiho run out like that, Baishi Hui frowned and turned to look at Akemi beside him.
"It's Doctor Asai," Akemi explained softly. "She came to deliver experimental equipment."
"Asai Narumi?" Baishi Hui said in surprise upon hearing the name. "Didn't she want to commit suicide? Why hasn't she yet? Is it because the gold hasn't been completely salvaged?"
Akemi shook her head, a hint of pride in her tone: "Didn't I stay on Moon Shadow Island during that time? I saw that Doctor Asai had suicidal tendencies, so I persuaded her for a while, making her abandon the idea of suicide."
"So that's it." Baishi Hui asked as he left the dressing room, "That experimental equipment... is it what your sister needed?"
"Yes," Akemi said apologetically as she followed him. "Shiho said it was too boring at home, and after knowing I had a doctor friend, she asked me to ask her to get some experimental equipment... I'm sorry, I did it without your permission."
Baishi Hui waved his hand and said, "You're not my subordinate, you don't need to report everything to me..."
After hearing that, Akemi finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Before heading to the garage, she put on a mask to avoid letting Asai Narumi see her appearance after disguise.
Baishi Hui nodded inwardly, knowing that her sense of confidentiality was getting better and better.
After Akemi entered the garage, she repeatedly greeted Asai Narumi: "Doctor Asai, thank you so much for the trouble!"
"You're welcome... Hello, Azu-sensei." Asai Narumi quickly greeted him after seeing the familiar mask.
"Mm." After Baishi Hui replied simply, his gaze fell upon Miyano Shiho.
At this moment, she had already put on Akemi's fox mask and baseball cap, completely covering her appearance.
"On Moon Shadow Island, have people been going there frequently recently?" Baishi Hui asked Asai Narumi.
"Mm-hmm... There have been quite a few more tourists recently." Asai Narumi nodded, she said doubtfully, "Many people are coming to inquire about that fire!"
Baishi Hui reminded her, "Be careful yourself, the CIA has infiltrated the island to investigate. Stop salvaging for now. If that batch of gold is discovered... then so be it."
"Alright, I understand." Asai Narumi didn't expect him not to care about that batch of gold, but rather to be more concerned about her safety.
This made her sigh inwardly: No wonder Miss Hirota admired him so much.
Just then, a cold voice came from beside her: "Hmm? Why is there so little medicine? Only enough for a few experiments!"
Asai Narumi walked to the back of the small truck and said helplessly to the lady, "There's nothing I can do, the medicines you want are controlled substances, it's not easy for me to get hold of them... This is all I could get, and it's still because my Teacher took a risk for the money."
"Any more, and it would be easy to be discovered."
Miyano Shiho also understood this, she sighed silently, understanding that this was the price of escaping from the Organization... unable to achieve freedom with medicine, she had to find a way to get it herself.
After Asai Narumi swiftly moved the various experimental equipment off the truck, she said, "If you need anything else, contact me... Goodbye."
Saying that, she bowed, then returned to her car and drove away.
After watching the vehicle leave the gate, Miyano Shiho took off her mask and looked at Baishi Hui, saying, "Azu the Bandit-sensei, could you help move these things onto that small cart? Please be gentle."
Baishi Hui nodded in agreement, moved all the experimental equipment onto the small cart, and then transported them to Miyano Shiho's laboratory.
What was called a laboratory was actually a warehouse in the basement.
There was a small elevator in the villa, so moving things wasn't difficult for the two of them, just a bit troublesome.
Baishi Hui went into the laboratory and saw that quite a bit of experimental equipment had already been placed inside, he said in surprise, "There's quite a lot of stuff."
Miyano Shiho habitually directed Baishi Hui where to place things, while simply introducing them: "These are devices used for researching medicine, this is a high-performance liquid chromatograph, this is a mass spectrometer, a PCR machine, an electrophoresis apparatus..."
Watching her finish introducing these items, Baishi Hui interrupted, "You don't need to introduce them, I know. A high-performance liquid chromatograph is used for separating and detecting compounds, determining the purity and content of compounds. A mass spectrometer is used for determining the mass-to-charge ratio of compounds and ions, for qualitative and quantitative analysis..."
He subtly put on a show, leaving the Miyano sisters greatly surprised.
"Azu-sensei, you... know these things?" Akemi was quite surprised, she didn't expect him to not only be good at fighting but also so knowledgeable.
"Mm, I studied medicine before." Baishi Hui nodded, he had pharmacology in his skill list, he just didn't have much opportunity to use it usually.
Upon hearing this, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, then why do you still... do these things?"
"Because I found that studying medicine couldn't save the Japanese people, so I changed professions," Baishi Hui said without hesitation.
"..." Miyano Shiho was stunned, she opened her mouth but found she couldn't refute him at all.
Are there many smart people in Japan?
Many!
In the past 20 years, the Japanese people have won a total of 19 Nobel Prizes!
For such a small country to achieve so much, it has a lot to do with their investment in education.
But the problem is... Japan has so many smart people, why has this country ended up like this?
Isn't it because their martial virtue isn't strong enough?
Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho looked at Baishi Hui with different eyes.
Initially, she thought he was just a brainless terrorist, but after hearing about his deeds from Akemi, she felt he had some ideas.
And now, she found that he wasn't just ordinarily smart, he saw the current state of this country with pinpoint accuracy!
Besides feeling emotional, Miyano Shiho felt a little more at ease inside.
What she feared most was that he wouldn't understand her behavior of researching medicine and would feel she was wasting his money!!
Now it seems her worries were unnecessary.
"But... Shiho, with so much equipment here, the electricity consumption will be very high, right?" Akemi said with some worry. "If others detect an anomaly through our electricity usage... will they come looking for us?"
These words made Baishi Hui very satisfied, understanding that she had made some progress in counter-surveillance... As expected, watching those crime movies wasn't in vain.
Miyano Shiho explained softly, "Akemi, don't worry. There are many places in the villa that use electricity, like the outdoor landscape lights, the pool's constant temperature system, the wine cellar's temperature and humidity control system, central air conditioning, etc... In a month, the electricity bill can easily exceed two hundred thousand yen."
"Using these as cover is completely fine!"
Akemi couldn't help but click her tongue after hearing that: "Is it that expensive? I've never lived in a villa before... I didn't know even the electricity bill is this expensive here."
"..." Baishi Hui was also startled inwardly, he hadn't lived in a villa either.
He didn't expect even living costs to be so high... No wonder villas are standard for the rich.
"The equipment is enough now, the only problem... is the experimental medicine." Miyano Shiho looked at the medicines and said, "The amount I get in a month is too little... It's not enough for me at all."
Saying that, she turned her gaze towards Baishi Hui and said, "I know where to get it, but it's very dangerous there... Azu the Bandit-sensei, can you help me get a little bit back?"
"A little bit?" Baishi Hui scoffed after hearing the phrase. "I'll get it all back for you! Not a single bit left!"
Miyano Shiho was delighted upon hearing that, she somewhat understood why Akemi liked him so much.
Who would dislike a generous man?
