241 Where is he?!
"Raise your hands and don't make superfluous movements."
In the silent hallway, Mary held a gun in one hand, against the back of Hans's head.
"Miss Mary?"
Hans clearly recognized her voice, and he slowly raised his hand with his back to Mary, and his tone was very confused.
"What's going on? Is there some misunderstanding between us? Why are you pointing a gun at me? β
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's clear immediately, open the door and go into the room."
Mary gestured to the room next to the two in the hallway, her tone cold.
"Well, Miss Mary, I think it's necessary for me to remind you that, according to the laws of the kingdom, guns are forbidden in the royal palace......"
"You're so dutiful, Captain Hans."
Under the threat of Mary, Hans raised his hand and opened the door, which appeared to be the bedroom of a nobleman, and the room was empty.
Forcing Hans in, Marie closed the door and locked it.
Hearing the door closing behind him, Hans, still holding his hands up, asked, "Miss Marie, can you now explain why you did this?"
If there is no reasonable explanation, even if you are a hero of the kingdom, the guards will investigate it to the end. β
"Have you played enough?"
Marie interrupted Hans impatiently at Hans's threatening words, and she put away her gun, her cold tone tinged with a hint of despair and disappointment.
"Baihe, I never thought you would be what you are now, I really never thought about it......
Until today, I was trying to convince myself that this was just a possibility, just my personal guess, and the real situation may not be the case, even after seeing Xiaoying's child, I was still trying to find an explanation for you.
Now it seems that all of this is just me deceiving myself, you have already been a member of that organization, have you? β
Hans was silent as she listened to her sudden call, and Marie lowered her gun-wielding hand.
"How long ago was this? Three years ago? Ten years ago? Or twenty years ago?
Or were you part of that group from the first time we met? β
"Miss Mary......
Hans turned around, looked at her with a rather helpless expression, and said:
"You've been saying things I don't understand since just now, and I really don't know how to answer......"
Mary looked at him expressionlessly, and after a long time, she sighed softly, her tone slightly tired.
"What is the purpose of your organization? The ores that His Majesty just mentioned? β
MI6's Intelligence Unit has only intercepted information that the organization is planning a coup d'Γ©tat in this small kingdom, but it is not known exactly why the organization is doing so.
Whether it was the story of the border village told by Karasuma Ying or the ores in the mouth of Heninggu, Mary had heard it for the first time.
While it was unclear what was so special about the ores, Mary's keen instincts led her to realize that getting the ores might be the real purpose of the operation.
However, judging from the conversation between Heninggu and Preben before, it seems that these special ores have been secretly destroyed by the old king?
"Ore? Miss Mary, do you mean what His Majesty has just said? β
Hans blinked, looking at her with a look of confusion and curiosity.
Looking at his appearance, Mary also completely lost patience.
"Shirakawa, what will Hatoyama think of you now?"
She and Bai He Kiyoshi had known each other for a long time, so Mary knew very well what the name meant to him, and it was impossible for the real Bai Ha Kiyoshi to be indifferent to the name.
However, to her complete surprise, the "Hans" in front of her still had that curious and puzzled expression on her face after hearing the name, and did not show any special reaction to the name.
It was only at this moment that Mary finally reacted, and her face sank instantly as she looked at "Hans".
"Who are you?"
He will never be Bai Heqing.
"As I said, I am Hans, ...... Mars."
As soon as "Hans" spoke, Mary suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab his face.
"Hans" was clearly prepared for this, and after Mary's move, he quickly retreated, and at the same time raised his hand to counterattack.
But it was clear that the fighting ability of the two was not at the same level at all, and after just a few moves, Mary easily broke through "Hans's" defense, grabbed his face directly with her right hand, and pulled hard.
"Tear up!"
With a sound like tearing paper, "Hans"'s face was torn off by Mary's pull, and Mary finally saw his true appearance under the disguised mask.
"Sharon?!"
Throwing away the disguise mask in her hand, Marie looked in disbelief at "Hans", who finally revealed her true face in front of her.
"Ah, the little trick has been debunked~"
Belmode took two steps back to stabilize his figure, sighed regretfully, then looked at her again, and said with a smile:
"It's really an old agent who has been active for decades, I thought I could lie to you for a while, but I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, it's a pity...... But I'm not very disappointed to see that look on your face. β
"Why ...... you"
Ignoring Belmode's teasing, Mary stared at her in a daze, her pupils constricting.
But soon she reacted, quickly raised her gun and looked at her coldly, and asked:
"Where is he?"
"Who? White River? β
Taking out the cigarette case from his pocket, Belmode unhurriedly lit a cigarette for himself, clasping his hands, still with that smiling expression on his face.
"Mary, he died ten years ago, didn't you also attend the funeral? Don't tell me you forgot. β
"I'll ask you again, where is he?" Mary pulled the bolt, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"You've been chasing a dead man for decades, why bother chasing a dead man......"
Completely ignoring her threat, Belmode shook her head slightly, walked to the table to the side, extinguished the cigarette in her hand, and took a palm-sized sealed bag from her pocket and spread it out, containing a disguise mask she had prepared in advance.
"Okay, if you don't shoot, put the gun down, won't you get tired of holding it all the time?"
In Mary's presence, Belmode rearranged her overgrown hair, then expertly removed the disguised mask and put it on, then picked up the military hat that had fallen to the ground in the previous hand, and put it on.
Eventually, she became the captain of the guard again.
"Mary, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaoying these days."
Switching back to Hans's voice, Belmode's tone tinged with a helpless pampering.
"That kid has been rebellious lately, and always likes to run around, and it's fine if she's stupid, but she's been smart since she was a child, and that's a headache for me......
Far from it, for the sake of being a friend, Mary, I'll give you one last piece of advice. β
"Click!"
"Quick!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside the door of the room, and the sound of the key turning the lock.
"The guy you're looking for, he's long dead."
Second, the night
