Paris, an ordinary apartment.
"What is this place?" Bai Heqing asked curiously as he followed Mary into the apartment.
"MI6 has a stronghold in Paris. The major told me before I came to Paris. The landline here can make calls within MI6... Just sit down and I'll contact the major."
With that said, Mary walked into the bedroom of this apartment, but instead of taking the landline phone on the bedside table, she opened the closet next to her and took off the backrest inside the closet, revealing a phone behind the backrest. Cubicles.
Picking up the landline phone in the cubicle, Mary dialed a number.
"Put me through Major."
"Yes, please wait..."
"Mary."
She didn't have to wait long before the major's voice rang on the phone.
"How were things in Paris today?"
"Everything is normal. Bai He and I have already gone to the Louvre to check out the details. There are plainclothes policemen everywhere. It seems that Black Rose's actions tonight have attracted the attention of the Paris police..."
"Didn't they notify the public of Black Rose's action tonight?"
"Well, after all, Black Rose has never failed before. Although the Paris police didn't say it, they must have prepared for the worst." Mary smiled.
"Don't let down your guard. After all, we are abroad. You and the police officer Baihe should also pay more attention to themselves... Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
After understanding the general situation, the major did not ask too much about this matter.
"Since you are in Paris now, Mary, that's just right. I have a task for you."
"Please tell me." As soon as she heard that there was a mission, Mary immediately became energetic.
"This is the information we asked from the French mafia yesterday. In an abandoned warehouse on a riverside dock in Paris this afternoon, there will be a secret contact between a British businessman and the French mafia.
You write down the location, and then find a way to investigate the purpose of their contact. Remember, just get the information clearly, don't alert the enemy. "
"British businessmen and French mafia?" Mary was a little surprised.
It's really strange that these two kinds of people can get together?
"Well, I feel it may be some illegal smuggling activities, but what exactly is it? You still need to investigate. How about it? Are there any difficulties?" the major asked.
Hearing this, Mary lowered her head and glanced at the time on her watch. It was still several hours before dark.
"No, no problem, leave it to me."
"Well, tell me 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.
【Um? 】
This casual glance made him suddenly notice that a figure flashed past behind the streetlight on the street below and quickly slipped into the clothing store next to it.
【Are you being followed? 】
Frowning slightly, he was keenly aware of this. Just when Bai Heqing wanted to take a closer look, Mary had already walked out of the bedroom behind him.
"White River."
"Did you finish the call?" Bai Heqing lowered the curtains and looked back at her.
"Well, the major gave me a mission. I have to go out temporarily... Ah, but don't worry, I will be back before night." Mary looked at him and said.
"Where are you going? Do you need me to go with you?" Bai Heqing asked.
"It's an abandoned dock warehouse."
After hesitating for a moment, Mary truthfully told him some information about the mission.
"It's just a small mission. Just stay here and wait for me. I'll be back in the evening at the most."
"Okay, be safe."
Seeing Mary's insistence, Bai Heqing didn't say anything more.
"Well, I know... By the way, there is a bookshelf in the bedroom. If you are bored, you can take some books from it and read it."
After leaving these words, Mary left the apartment directly.
"..."
At the same time, in the clothing store on the street outside, the shopping guide was looking helplessly at the "customer" who suddenly slipped into the store.
"Um, madam, what do you want to buy..."
"Shh!"
The shopping guide was only halfway through her words when she saw the "guest" hiding behind the clothes rack suddenly turned around and made a hissing gesture towards her.
"Quiet, someone found me, I'm hiding from him."
"Well……"
The shopping guide had a hint of doubt in his helpless eyes.
"That is to say, you are in danger, right? Do you want me to call the police for you?"
"Call the police? This is not necessary..."
The "guest" shook his head, then pointed at his face and said with a smile: "Because the police want to arrest me now."
"Eh?"
"Don't you see? I am the famous Phantom Thief Black Rose?" she said very proudly.
"Eh..." The shopping guide looked at her with a trace of pity for some reason.
[It turned out to be a mental illness...]
"You do not trust me."
Black Rose saw her inner thoughts, put her hands on her hips, and was a little dissatisfied.
"Really, in this world, no one believes the truth anymore... By the way, do you need me to sign your autograph? My autograph is quite valuable?"
"I don't need that kind of thing. Rather than this, Miss Black Rose, can you tell me your family's phone number?" The shopping guide still had that professional smile on his face.
[Yeah, they already treat me as a lunatic. 】
"Oh, my parents are dead and I'm an orphan."
"Eh?!"
At this moment, Mary opened the door of the unit below the apartment and came out, and then left in a hurry.
Black Rose noticed this scene immediately and quickly looked up at the window upstairs that was blocked by curtains.
[Well, it seems that the man with perverted intuition is still in the apartment. Well, I will follow you first to see what you want to do in Paris! 】
"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm leaving first... Also, if an East Asian man comes to ask for my information later, you must not tell him, thank you."
"ha……"
In this way, Black Rose quickly left the clothing store and followed Mary in front of her from a distance.
The two of them got on a bus one after another and arrived at the abandoned warehouse on the riverside dock that the major had told Mary on the phone.
On the other hand, after Mary left, Bai Heqing walked into the bedroom of the apartment and felt a little headache looking at the pile of French books on the bookshelf.
Although he was told that he could read it at will, he couldn't understand French at all...
With a slight sigh, Bai Heqing turned his head and looked at the landline phone placed on the bedside table.
Looking at it quietly, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
[Can this phone make calls to Japan? 】
