Paris, an unremarkable apartment.

"What is this place?" Following Mary into this apartment, Bai Heqing asked curiously.

"MI6 has a base in Paris, and the major told me before coming to Paris, that the landline here can make calls inside MI6...... Sit casually, I'll contact the major. ”

With that, Mary walked to the bedroom of the apartment, but instead of taking the landline on the bedside table, she opened the wardrobe next to it, and removed the rest of the closet, revealing a small cubicle behind the board.

Picking up the landline in the cubicle, Mary dialed a number.

"Transfer the Major for me."

"Yes, please wait......"

"Mary."

She wasn't made to wait long before the major's voice rang on the phone.

"How is it in Paris today?"

"Everything is normal, White River and I have already gone to the Louvre, where there are plainclothes policemen everywhere, it seems that Black Rose's actions tonight have made the Paris police pay a lot of attention......"

"Didn't they inform the public of Black Rose's actions tonight?"

"Well, after all, Black Rose has never missed a hand before, and although the Paris police don't say it, they must have prepared for the worst in their hearts." Mary smiled.

"Don't let your guard down, after all, it's abroad, and you and Officer Baihe yourself should pay more attention...... Well, let's not talk about that. ”

After getting the general situation, the major did not ask too much about the matter.

"Since Mary is in Paris now, it just so happens that I have a task for you."

"Please." As soon as she heard that there was a mission, Mary immediately came to her senses.

"It was the information we got from the French mafia yesterday that a British businessman was secretly in contact with the French mafia in an abandoned warehouse on a riverside dock in Paris this afternoon.

Write down the location, and then find a way to investigate the purpose of their contact, remember, just find out the information, don't startle the snake. ”

"British businessmen and the French mafia?" Mary was a little surprised.

It's really strange that these two kinds of people can get together?

"Well, I feel that there may be some illegal smuggling activities, but what is the situation, and you still need to investigate, how about it? Are there any difficulties? The Major asked.

Hearing this, Mary looked down at the time on her watch, which was still several hours before dark.

"No, no problem, leave it to me."

"Well, let me know as soon as you find out the situation." The major said.

At this time, in the bedroom and living room outside, Bai Heqing, who had nothing to do, walked to the window, pulled up the curtains, and glanced at the street below.

[Huh? 】

This casual glance made him suddenly notice that behind the street lamp next to the street below, a figure flashed by and quickly slipped into the clothing store next to it.

[Stalked? 】

Frowning slightly, keenly aware of this, just when Bai Heqing wanted to take a closer look, in the bedroom behind him, Mary had already walked out.

"White River."

"Finished calling?" Lowering the curtains, Bai Heqing looked back at her.

"Well, the Major has given me a mission, I'm going to go out for a while...... Ah, but don't worry, I'll be back before the evening. Mary looked at him and spoke.

"Where are you going? Need me to come with you? Bai Heqing asked.

"It's an abandoned dock warehouse."

After a moment's hesitation, Mary truthfully told him some information about the mission.

"It's just a small task, you just stay here and wait for me, and I'll be back in the evening at most."

"Okay, stay safe."

Seeing that Mary insisted, Bai Heqing didn't say anything more.

"Well, I know...... By the way, there's also a bookshelf in the bedroom, so if you're bored, you can grab some books from it. ”

After leaving these words, Mary left the apartment directly.

“……”

At the same time, in the clothing store next to the street outside, the shopping guide was looking helplessly at the "customer" in front of him who suddenly slipped into the store.

"Well, this lady, what are you ......going to buy?"

"Shh

The shopping guide was only halfway through her sentence when she saw the "guest" hiding behind the clothes rack suddenly turn around and make a boo gesture at her.

"Whisper, someone found me, I'm avoiding him."

"Uh......"

There was a hint of doubt in the helpless eyes of the shopping guide.

"In other words, you're in danger, aren't you? Do you need me to call the police for you? ”

"Call the police? There's no need to ...... this."

The "guest" shook his head, then pointed to his face and said with a smile: "Because the police are also trying to arrest me now." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you see? I'm the famous thief Black Rose, huh? She said proudly.

"......" The shopping guide looked at her with a trace of pity for some reason.

[It turned out to be a psychopath......]

"You don't believe me."

Black Rose saw her inner thoughts, and crossed her hands on her hips, a little dissatisfied.

"Really, in this world, no one believes the truth now...... By the way, do you need me to sign your name? My signature is still worth a lot, huh? ”

"I don't need anything like that, Miss Black Rose, can you tell me your family's phone number?" The shopping guide still had that professional smile on his face.

[Yes, they have already treated me like a psychopath. 】

"Oh, my parents are dead, I'm an orphan."

"Huh?!"

At that moment, in the unit door below the apartment, Mary opened the door and walked out, then left in a hurry.

Black Rose noticed this scene for the first time, and quickly looked up at the window upstairs that was blocked by the curtains.

[Well, it looks like the man with perverted instincts is still in the apartment, okay, I'll follow you first and see what you want to do in Paris!] 】

"Okay, I won't talk to you, I'll go first...... Also, if an East Asian man comes and asks me for information later, you must not tell him, thank you. ”

"Ha ......"

With that, Black Rose quickly left the clothing store and followed Mary far behind.

The two of them boarded a bus one after the other, and came to the abandoned warehouse of the riverside dock that the Major had told Mary on the phone.

On the other side, after Mary left, Bai Heqing walked into the bedroom of the apartment, looking at the pile of books in full French on the shelves, feeling a little headache.

Although he said that he could take it and look at it casually, he couldn't read French at all......

Sighing softly, Bai Heqing turned his head and looked at the landline on the bedside table.

Looking at it quietly, an idea popped into his mind.

[Can this call be made to Japan?] 】
