CHAPTER XVIII

Paris, France.

Ro' stood in front of the window of his apartment, gazing at the Eiffel Tower in the distance.

The weather wasn't very good today, so the Iron Lady didn't look as handsome as usual. Although people no longer care about the 'fierce' debate about her in the aesthetic realm at the moment, like everything in heaven and earth, the Iron Lady will also rise and fall and will be left out one day. When she is really left out in the cold, maybe the whole of France will be like this.

In the humid air, there was a gray 'color' 'gloom'.

Ro'mon could see his face on the glass of the window.

He has a well-defined face rarely seen in Asians, and these distinctive facial features not only make him look exotic, but also make those who see him at first glance often misunderstand that he is of multiple origins, and that people of multiple ancestry can be found everywhere in Europe. There was some concern that Rommon was too handsome to engage in covert activities, because a face that could not be more ordinary could make him less visible to the outside world during the mission he was going to perform.

Psychological tests have shown that Romen has all the qualities needed to engage in this profession. But there is another obvious drawback, that is, like most men, "he is not very capable of 'dealing' with 'women'". The reason why he is mentioned here that he does not have the ability to "deal with 'female' people" is just a comment given to him by his boss, and the reason why he uses the word "not possessed" is not to say that Luo 'Men' can't deal with 'female' and 'sexual' opponents, but because in the 'sex' with 'female' and 'sex', "he can easily fall into a situation where he can't extricate himself", which was once considered his biggest flaw.

However, so far, Luo 'Men' has not been bad because of 'women'. But now the situation seems to confirm the predictions of the intelligence pundits: he is starting to get irritated about his relationship with the 'woman'.

Flying here directly from Iraq is a compromise made by Luo 'Men' to An Nianrong, and the compromise with An Nianrong means that it is even more impossible to explain his disappearance to Jiang Manyun, because the longer it takes, the more angry Jiang Manyun will be, but he has no choice now. "Sophie's" reply shows that he is eager to meet with Luo 'Men' in France, which is related to the safety of those "European stars" and the entire intelligence system, and An Nianrong's worries have also been confirmed, and the "European Star Project" is facing a serious security crisis and is ready to enter a state of hibernation. At this time, these questions are of course more important than Jiang Manyun's anger.

In this situation, reality does not allow Luo 'Men' to have too much consideration, so ACE and Ma Xibei separately escorted An Nianrong and Jafari's children back to China, and he boarded the plane.

From the moment he boarded the plane, he began to get acquainted with everything he remembered about France.

Since the 80s of the last century, France has seen a great degree of decentralization, local autonomy has developed greatly, and the 95 national ministries that once existed have been incorporated into 22 economic zones that are basically controlled by local provincial capitals. Regardless of whether the decentralization of power is an empty phrase, the current situation in France is that the mayors of large cities play a more important role in the country's political life. Ministers from Lille, Lyon, and Strasbourg often resorted to a biased approach to policy in order to please their constituents. But most importantly, the efficiency of the country's ministries has not improved since this series of reforms, including the French Ministry of Security and the Paris police. Ro-Gate was not engaged in traditional espionage against France or other countries, so the only real hindrance was the famously loose Paris police. In a word, there is freedom of movement unmatched elsewhere in Paris.

Before coming to this secret location, he 'spend' hours wandering the streets of Paris. The best way to see Paris is to take a stroll through the city. The delightful atmosphere of the tranquil verdant courtyards, the twilight riverside and the buildings with a rich history make it difficult for those who are immersed in it, and the mind of the Ro' is like a sponge absorbing the atmosphere of the city in order to reintegrate into the atmosphere as soon as possible.

In fact, Paris is indeed an ideal place for walking. In this hexagonal city, in addition to the division of the twenty administrative districts or postal districts, there are other divisions, such as the 'Montgomery' district, the 'Montpana' district, the Latin quarter, and so on. Each district has a different style. As you walk from one district to another, you can't stop yourself from changing the scenery. The famous Seine River flows slowly, dividing Paris into two parts, the left bank and the right bank, and you can't be sure that you can get closer to paradise with one side.

There are many famous, historic, vibrant and vibrant cities in Europe, but none are as sensitive as Paris. Paris is the heart of the whole of Europe, and changes in any corner of Europe will find traces in Paris. This is not a fact that can be proven by data and words, but just a feeling or intuition.

What can be compared to the scenery of Paris is the unique culture of the area. Although the Romans once gave the city an official name, Gritsia which roughly translates to "house in the water", it has long been forgotten. The thoughts of countless royalty, artists, philosophers, writers, foreign friends, adventurers and *** people who come and go to this "fascinating" city are like a little starlight, decorating the beautiful sky of French culture. Even for an agent like Romen, who was indifferent to the world most of the time, he was still in awe of the culture of Paris.

However, Ro'Gate does not like Paris at night. Paris at night allowed him to experience the "repression of the Middle Ages" mentioned in literature, but this was of course entirely personal.

The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, but it wasn't the time he had agreed with Sophie.

Luo 'Men' lifted the pillow on the couch and picked up the Beretta 92F automatic pistol and silencer that had been hidden in the room. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't bring his "Desert Warrior" with him, and the 9mm caliber pistol made him feel a little awkward. Although there is no data to prove that the 9mm pistol is inferior to the Dot 45 caliber in actual use, and if you can hit the enemy in the head before they fire, what is the difference between the 9mm bullet and the Dot 45?

Stepping on the carpet in the room, Luo 'Door' silently leaned into the cat's eye in front of the 'door'. There was no light in the room, so he didn't worry that anyone would notice the change in light in the cat's eye, and he wouldn't have his face shattered by a pistol pressed against the cat's eye.

It's an old building, and the lights in the hallway are probably from the last century, and the light is dim.

The first thing that appeared in his eyes was a short light 'color' hair, which was a 'woman'.

Luo 'Men' took a step back sideways, and then pointed his pistol at the 'woman''s head through the 'door'. He has no contacts here, and anyone who comes to the 'door' is his enemy, and when dealing with the enemy, it is always the old saying, "strike first".

The 'woman' was knocking on the 'door' again, and she used a method of knocking on the 'door' that was only used between the 'door' and the 'Sufi', which made the 'door' hesitate again. Maybe this 'woman' has some intimate relationship with "Sophie", otherwise how would she know this way of knocking on the 'door'?

He gently pulled the door open a crack, and the first thing he smelled was the delicate scent of Estee Lauder perfume.

The green eyes of the 'woman' at the entrance of the 'door' flashed with a glimmer of joy, and she took off her scarf and smiled sweetly at the 'door'. "Hummingbirds?"

Ro'mon stared into her eyes. "And who are you?"

The 'woman' generously stretched out her hand to Luo 'Gate'. "Welcome to Paris, I'm Sophie."

Luo 'door' didn't open the 'door' more, nor did he stretch out his hand. "The 'Sophie' I know is a man."

A trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes. "The 'Sophie' you know has a 'girl', which is why this man calls himself that. Surely you don't know that, though, do you? ”

Rommon had to admit that he didn't know much about Sophie. The important thing is that she can use the contact information they said in the email, maybe she is really "Sophie's" 'daughter'. He asked the 'door' to open the room and invited the 'woman' who was also called "Sophie" to come in.

From the point of view of Luo 'Gate', Sophie is not pretty. However, her short light-coloured hair was trimmed to soften the shape of her high cheekbones, and when she smiled with her fully contoured lips, the clear 'lip' line and snow-white teeth made her look confident and reserved.

Her figure is plump and well-proportioned. When she turned around from the narrow porch, *** rubbed against Luo Men's arm, and Luo Men' could see two clouds of snow white looming under her clothes. Sophie also carries a large backpack, which is somewhat out of step with her image in a modest short dress.

After entering the room, she lit a cigarette and sat down on the sofa in the living room, looking a little tired.

Ro'mon sat down across from her. "I was surprised that he didn't show up in person."

Sophie spat a smoke ring into the sky and smiled faintly. "But he showed me your picture, so I recognized you when I saw you. But don't worry, he's already burned the photos. ”

Ro'men shrugged his shoulders. "He shouldn't keep my photos, just like I never keep other people's photos."

Sophie nodded approvingly. "Maybe that's why he met with misfortune."

Ro'Gate looked at Sophie. "Please forgive?"

"My father died in the hospital two days ago. Before he died, he told me that my situation was also dangerous and that I had to ask for your help. Her eyes turned red, and she looked at Luo 'Men' and smiled. I hadn't been home in days, I hadn't slept much, and I was exhausted. ”

Ro'Gate nodded. "Would you like something to drink?"

Tears suddenly welled up in Sophie's eyes. "I'd like to drink beer if I could."

When Romen brought beer from the fridge, Sophie buried her face between her knees and sobbed. Her 'legs' rested on the low table in front of the sofa, her skirt turned up unsightly, and her big 'legs' in black 'colored' nylon socks were beautifully shaped and evoked.

Romen placed the beer in front of her and looked at her in silence.

For more than ten seconds, Sophie raised her face and looked at Luo 'Men' with a blur of tears, and the expression on her face could not tell whether she was crying or laughing.

"My father didn't have time to tell me more, so I still don't understand what happened, and God, when he left me, I felt like the sky was going to fall."

Romen pushed the box of tissues in front of her and looked at her comfortingly. "It feels terrible."

Sophie sobbed. "I'm really scared, if you don't show up, I don't know if I can support it."

Now is not the time to ask what happened, and a sad Sophie looks showing signs of collapse. To find out what happened in the quickest time, it's best to distract her at this time.

"I thought, maybe you need something to eat, anyway, I want to eat something, why don't we talk while we eat?"

Sophie held back her tears and looked at Ro'Mon a little shyly.

"I'm going to get you bored, and I'm going to crow like a little hen."

Romen patted her knee. "Never. I just regret that a girl like you shouldn't have to go through this kind of thing. Please forgive me for being rude, but I would say that maybe eating something will give us more strength to face reality. ”

Sophie 'pumped' her nose. "Why not? Maybe we can have a drink. What to eat for dinner? ”

Ro'men stood up. "I don't think it's a good time to go out in public, so I have some foreign 'meat' and vegetables in the refrigerator, why don't we make something to eat ourselves?"

Sophie thought for a moment, then smiled. "I make a French lamb 'meat' with a recipe that my grandmother handed down."

Ro' looked interested. "Let's start now, you prepare dinner, and I'll go outside and get a bottle of wine and come back."

Sophie jumped up from the couch. "I'm feeling a little hungry now, too."

Ro'men hid his pistol in the bathroom and walked out of the makeshift accommodation. He made an observation of the nearby streets, and if Sophie had a problem, there must have been someone around to protect her. For the time being, however, he found no signs that his home was being monitored.

Maybe everything Sophie said was true.

On the way, he called the Magic Shield estate in Portugal and asked where in Paris he could buy the Ninety-Four Charlot's Magic Shield, and then bought some chocolates when he went to the wine store. Luo 'Men' chose Xia Tu Magic Shield because the owner of the Magic Shield Manor invites different artists to paint something on the label of his products every year, for example, in the label of '94, there is the Dutch painter Carell? Apei's first work. This may be able to become a topic of conversation while enjoying the bottle of wine without freezing the conversation.

When he returned to Sophie's apartment, he bought another bouquet of fresh 'flowers'. No matter what time it is, fresh 'flowers' can always make 'women' feel comfortable.
