Not long after Mary arrived at the abandoned warehouse, several cars parked outside the warehouse.
Mary quickly hid behind a large wooden box and saw a group of people getting out of the car. These people were all in suits and ties, holding weapons. They were dressed very similar to the French mafia that Mary had seen in London before. The white man wearing sunglasses and a slicked back hair could be seen as the leader of the group.
Perhaps to ensure the safety of the subsequent secret meeting, after entering the warehouse, the group began to consciously conduct a simple search inside the warehouse.
Mary, on the other hand, took advantage of the blind spots of these people's vision under the cover of the wooden boxes piled up in the warehouse, and quietly moved to hide behind a large wooden box in the corner of the warehouse.
"Tou, there is no one else." After a brief search, one of them ran to the big back head and said respectfully.
"Well, let the two brothers guard the door."
Da Beitou nodded slightly, then tossed his windbreaker, found a large wooden box, turned around and sat down gracefully, and waited quietly, quite like those mafia bosses on TV.
In this way, time passed by minute by second, and the people in the warehouse were not kept waiting for long. Soon, another car drove up outside the warehouse.
Three or four people got out of the car. One of them had a fat head and big ears. He was wearing a suit, a top hat on his head, and a cane in his hand. He was dressed like a standard British gentleman.
"You're finally here, Andrew."
Looking at the belatedly arriving British gentleman, the French mafia boss said in English with a cold face.
"This is much later than the time we agreed on."
"Harry, don't be so angry. I just had a traffic jam on the road, so I was a little late. I think an elegant and generous French man will definitely not care about this little mistake of mine, right?"
A British gentleman named Andrew walked into the warehouse with a cane and spoke enthusiastically to the big-backed man named Harry.
Mary, who was hiding behind the big wooden box, quietly poked her head out to take a look.
[With a standard London accent, this man named Andrew must indeed be British. 】
"Huh, smooth-talking British guy."
With a sneer and a mocking comment, Harry didn't dwell on the matter anymore.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business. Where is the batch of goods we agreed on before? Don't tell me that you British people can't even guarantee timely delivery now!"
"Harry, I've explained this to you before. It's not that I don't want to deliver the goods, but that they were all kidnapped by the monster thief Black Rose."
Andrew's tone was helpless.
"As you know, this phantom thief was operating in the UK some time ago."
【black Rose? 】
Mary heard the code name again.
[It can be related to Black Rose. Could it be that the goods they are talking about are smuggled cultural relics? 】
"snort."
Harry snorted coldly when he heard this.
"This has nothing to do with me. I only know that the agreement we made before is that I pay the money and you deliver the goods. I don't care about the rest. Now that the goods are gone, you can't just say it!"
"Of course I know this, Harry, please don't worry, I have asked people from MI6 to take action regarding that batch of goods, and I believe there will be results soon.
Rather than this, let's talk about the 'heritage' first. After all, this is our 'main course' today, isn't it? "
[MI6? ! 】
Mary never expected that she would hear this word from this British smuggler?
Who is this person?
Judging from his tone, it seems that he can also direct the actions of MI6 agents? !
In her excitement, Mary's hand holding the big wooden box subconsciously exerted some force, crushing an aging and decaying board on top.
"Click!"
There was a crisp cracking sound, not loud, but just enough for the people in the warehouse to hear.
"Who?!" Harry turned around suddenly and shouted.
【Oops! 】
Mary was shocked and quickly retreated behind the wooden box.
"Go over and have a look!"
Several mafia members in the warehouse drew their pistols and approached the wooden box where Mary was hiding.
Among them, the expression on the face of the obese businessman Andrew was a little confused. He seemed to have thought of something and took a few steps back. He deliberately left the Mafia's protective circle alone and moved closer to the corner of the warehouse.
"Who is it? Come out quickly!"
Harry shouted again and waved his hands to signal the surrounding mafia members to keep approaching.
The crisis was approaching, but at this critical moment, Mary remained calm. She took out the pistol and quickly took a look at the surrounding situation.
This glance made her notice Andrew approaching nearby alone.
【Have the opportunity! 】
If she takes this person hostage, maybe she can escape from this warehouse.
"Bang bang!"
The gunfire rang out, and Mary quickly planned the assault route in her mind. Mary did what she said and rushed out quickly. During this period, bullets continued to shoot into the walls and wooden boxes around her.
Sawdust flew everywhere, and under the extreme stimulation of adrenaline, Mary quickly jumped over the wooden boxes on the assault route at a speed that surprised herself. She crossed the ten-meter distance in an extremely thrilling way and sprinted to the obese businessman. In front of Andrew.
"Stop her!"
【Success! 】
Amid Harry's shouting behind her, Mary rushed straight towards Andrew, who looked frightened.
However, at this moment, the fat businessman who looked like he had a big belly suddenly pulled out the body of his cane at an extremely fast speed, revealing the black muzzle hidden inside the cane.
"Oh, the poor little white rabbit took the bait..."
Mary's pupils shrank suddenly, revealing the shock on her face. Andrew raised the pistol hidden in the cane and showed a cruel smile.
"Bang!"
Blood flowers bloomed with the sound of gunfire.
"..."
"Sure enough, I can't get through..."
In the apartment on the other side, after trying everything, Bai Heqing put down the landline phone on the bedside table and sighed softly.
It seems that this landline can only make calls within France, but cannot make calls to Japan at all.
Some regrets.
He was thinking just now that maybe he could give Keiko a call...
Leaving the bedroom and returning to the living room, he turned his head and looked at the sky outside.
The sky is getting a little dusky, it's almost evening, and it's almost time for Mary to come back...
"Dong dong dong!"
Just when Bai Heqing had this idea in his mind, there was a sudden knock on the door of the apartment.
[Not Mary. 】
Wary in his heart, Bai Heqing did not make any response, but quietly approached the door and looked out through the peephole.
There was a woman standing outside the door with an anxious expression. Seeing that Bai Heqing inside the room did not respond, she patted the door anxiously a few more times.
"Hey! East Asian man, you're still in there, right?! Come out quickly! Your blonde-haired girlfriend was caught!"
