"MI6, Sera Marie."
In the deserted alley, Mary showed Jack her MI6 ID.
"You, you're not a policeman?" Jack looked at her ID and asked subconsciously.
"What? It sounds like you think our MI6 is no match for the people from the London Police Department?" Mary narrowed her eyes when she heard this.
"No! That's not what I meant..." He suddenly panicked, and Jack quickly explained: "I just didn't expect people from MI6 to come after us..."
"It sounds like you are quite conscious about what you are doing, so I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Where are you hiding the cultural relics stolen from Japan?
Also, who is the person who will secretly trade those cultural relics with you today? Tell me all this. "
Going directly to the topic, Mary also raised her finger to point at Bai Heqing, who had dragged another white man far away, punched and kicked him to wake him up, and then started violent interrogation.
Looking at this scene, Mary always felt as if she had forgotten something... No, now is not the time to think about this.
"I advise you not to try to lie. If the information you two tell us does not match, we will replace each other and interrogate you repeatedly until the information you two tell us matches. Do you understand?"
"Gudong!"
Subconsciously swallowing, Jack looked at Bai Heqing, and suddenly remembered how his other five companions were fucked down by Bai Heqing on the bus, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I said! Those cultural relics, those cultural relics have been stolen!"
"Stolen?"
She didn't expect Jack's answer at all. Mary was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him coldly, with a half-smile expression on her face.
"Really, really!"
Knowing that Mary didn't believe him, Jack explained anxiously:
"The seven of us arrived in London last night! When we woke up in the hotel this morning, those cultural relics had been stolen! Yes, they were made by 'Black Rose'!"
"black Rose?"
Mary had some impression of this name. It was a strange thief who had been committing crimes in various European countries in the past few years.
This person has a mysterious identity and is keen on stealing historical relics.
Of course, Black Rose did not steal these cultural relics with the intention of selling them.
On the contrary, Black Rose's motive for stealing cultural relics can be said to be... very just?
As we all know, several old capitalist countries in Europe have collected a large number of historical relics from various countries around the world during their colonial rule.
After Black Rose steals these cultural relics, they will quietly return these cultural relics to the country where they originally belonged after a period of time.
Because he only targeted the theft of historical cultural relics, and returned the cultural relics to the country of origin after the theft, he left an excellent reputation in the hearts of the European people, and was even nicknamed the "Monster Thief". A complimentary title.
As for the codename "Black Rose", it was mainly because this person would leave a black rose tied with paper at the scene after committing a crime. Over time, police in various countries began to use this as their codename.
Some time ago, Mary seemed to have heard that Black Rose seemed to be committing crimes in the British Museum. The other party seemed to be operating in the UK recently...
Of course, she had only heard about it and was not sure about the specific situation. After all, catching the Phantom Thieves was a matter for the London Police Department and had nothing to do with MI6.
"That's right!"
Seeing that Mary knew the code name, Jack nodded quickly and continued to explain:
"When we opened the safe where the cultural relics were stored this morning, everything inside was gone! There was only a black rose tied with paper in the cabinet! And, and..."
"what else?"
"There is also a card for Black Rose's next action target..." Jack replied.
This is the second characteristic of black roses.
As if to provoke the police in various European countries, most of the time after committing a crime, Black Rose will not only leave its iconic black rose at the scene, but also leave a card indicating the location of its next action.
This card not only marks the target of the theft, but also deliberately marks the time when Black Rose is preparing to take action. It is extremely arrogant.
Even so, the police in various European countries have indeed never been able to catch this person...
"Mary."
At this moment, Bai Heqing, who had finished the interrogation, came over.
Not far behind him, the white man who he had just beaten to wake up and interrogated had been beaten unconscious by him again, and he was lying softly on the roadside.
"black Rose."
Before Mary could ask, Bai Heqing spoke out the code name.
"Yeah." Mary nodded. It seemed that the two of them got the same result.
【Um? 】
Then, Mary suddenly realized a problem. She finally remembered what she felt strange just now.
No, don’t you understand English? How did you ask?
"What does black rose mean?"
Just when Mary was confused, Bai Heqing took out the small book he was carrying and found the words black and rose on it.
"I just beat him repeatedly, and he pointed to these two words before he fainted. I don't quite understand..." Bai Heqing asked curiously as he handed the small book to her.
[Can you actually ask for information like this? 】
"Well, this is actually a code name..."
After silently complaining in her heart, Mary told Bai Heqing all the information she got from Jack.
While talking, she suddenly noticed that the handwriting in Bai Heqing's little book was very graceful and beautiful, and it was obvious that it was written by a woman.
In addition to many English words with Japanese pronunciation in the small book, there are also many common expressions used in daily life.
Obviously, the mysterious woman who wrote this little book for Bai Heqing had thought very carefully about the various situations Bai Heqing would encounter in a foreign country.
Mary suddenly became curious about the woman who wrote this little book.
Of course, she also knew that now was not the time to ask this...
"Where is that card now?" Bai Heqing asked after listening to Mary's explanation.
Black Rose cut off the cultural relics, and the card contains the target of Black Rose's next action, so as long as they determine the content on the card, they can find Black Rose.
"Where is the card now?" Mary asked, looking at Jack.
"In, in the hands of our boss..." Not daring to look at Bai Heqing's eyes, Jack shrank his head and spoke tremblingly.
And their boss had been knocked down by Bai Heqing when they were on the bus, although Bai Heqing didn't know which one of them it was...
So the two returned to the street where the bus was.
Fortunately the bus was still there and officers from the Metropolitan Police attended the scene.
Under Mary's identity as MI6, the two of them encountered no obstruction and successfully found the card with white text on a black background from one of the five people.
"Paris France."
