When Bai Heqing woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed.
He was in a room made of metal wall panels, filled with medical equipment, with no windows, a dazzling white light hanging from the ceiling, and the door being closed.
There were no restrictions on his body. Bai Heqing sat up from the bed. The wound on his left shoulder seemed to have been treated, but there was still a slight pain. An IV was hanging on the back of his left hand.
【Where is this? 】
After a brief lag in thinking, he quickly recalled what happened before he fell into coma.
On the pier, after he rescued Mary, the mysterious woman who came to inform him that Mary was in trouble drove over. Because he judged that the other party had no malicious intent, Bai Heqing finally agreed to take her car.
In the car, the three of them had a simple test of each other. After the mysterious woman said that she hoped that they would do her a favor to repay her kindness for rescuing the two of them, she knocked them down with an anesthetic spray bottle.
【This is really...】
Recalling everything that happened, Bai Heqing shook his head mockingly.
It was the first time for him to be knocked down so easily. If Keiko, Karasuma and the others found out about this, he estimated that he would have to be laughed at for at least a week before he could turn the page.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this.
There was not only one bed in this room, but Mary, who was still unconscious, lay on another bed next to her.
Bai Heqing took off the drip on the back of his hand, walked over and pressed her philtrum hard.
"Well!"
Stimulated by the severe pain, Mary quickly woke up from her coma. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Bai Heqing in front of her with some confusion.
"Shirakawa?"
The white light above her head was a bit dazzling, and before her mind was fully awake, she subconsciously asked:
"It's so bright here. Have we gone to heaven?"
Looking down at her cute eyes blinking, Bai Heqing lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying seriously.
"As for heaven... Mary, you should be fine, but I may not be able to go."
"So are we going to hell?"
"That doesn't have to be the case. We should be on a ship now." Bai Heqing said.
Ever since he woke up, he could feel that the entire room had been shaking irregularly with something familiar to him.
It was obvious that the two were now on a ship.
"On the ship?"
Finally, Mary's brain regained her consciousness. Remembering her coma, she suddenly sat up from the bed and quickly glanced around the room.
"That woman attacked us? Where is she?!"
"I don't know. There were only two of us in this room when I woke up."
Compared to Mary's somewhat eager and excited tone, Bai Heqing was much calmer.
He did not forget the last words the mysterious woman said before stunning the two of them. She needed the two of them to do something for her.
In this case, she will definitely appear again, and there is no need for him to be anxious.
"That mysterious woman should be the Black Rose we are looking for." Bai Heqing said.
Mary did not raise any questions when she heard this. Her expression became slightly solemn, and then she nodded.
She had already guessed this as early as when they were in the car.
"She said that the reason why she followed us was because we wanted to do something bad to her first, which made her feel very uneasy..."
Resisting the desire to complain about the strange logic of Black Rose, Bai Heqing said:
"Finding the Black Rose and retrieving those cultural relics is the only purpose of our coming to Paris, and apart from the two of us, the only ones in Paris who know about this..."
"That's the female staff member we met at the Louvre."
Mary took up his words and continued: "She understands Japanese. She understood our conversation when we were at the Louvre, and followed the two of us afterwards, and even followed me all the way to that place. pier……"
Speaking of this, the expression on Mary's face was very complicated.
As an agent, it is actually very embarrassing to be followed for so long without any notice, not to mention that the person following her indirectly saved her life in the end...
There was an indescribable sadness in my heart.
"Crunch."
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open and a figure walked in.
The figure is a middle-aged white male with ordinary appearance, wearing glasses and a white coat. He looks like a doctor.
"woke up?"
The man looked at the two people who had woken up. He didn't look surprised, but nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the physical fitness of the two of you is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people, and your awakening speed is much faster than I expected?"
"Who are you?" Mary looked at him warily and asked.
"If you don't mind, if you want to help you treat your wounds, just call me a doctor. Besides, you don't have to worry about the medical expenses. I'm here to help you treat them as entrusted by others. I don't charge any money."
The doctor said, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and threw it towards Bai Heqing.
"The medicine I developed myself can promote the rapid recovery of wounds, and also has the function of stopping bleeding and analgesic. Take one pill twice a day, take more at your own risk."
"Entrusted by others, do you mean Black Rose?" Bai Heqing asked. He caught the medicine bottle, glanced at it, and handed it to Mary next to him.
Without him, the bottle was all in English and he couldn't understand it.
His question made the doctor look surprised.
"That's right." He nodded readily and admitted, and then said: "It seems that you two do have something special, no wonder she wants to ask you for help...
Since we are all sensible people, I will keep the story short. Officer Shirakawa, the purpose of your coming to Paris is probably to track down the batch of cultural relics stolen from Japan by the international theft gang in the hands of Black Rose, right? "
"That's right." Bai Heqing nodded.
He wasn't surprised that the doctor called out his name. After all, he always had his police ID with him, and the other party could find out with just a brief search.
"As expected."
Confirming this, the doctor continued: "Black Rose asked me to tell you before leaving that she can hand over the cultural relics to you, but in exchange, she needs the two of you to help her investigate a special batch of 'heritage'.
If you accept this deal, she will return the cultural relics intact to you after the deal is completed.
Of course, you can also refuse. Black Rose will not force you, and even if you refuse, she will personally send these cultural relics back to Japan. "
"What do you mean by 'heritage'?" Mary asked.
"Don't worry about this. If you are willing to accept this deal, Black Rose will explain it to you personally after you return to England. As for now..."
The doctor stepped forward, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the two of them.
"In order to show her sincerity, Black Rose is willing to provide you with information that she spent a lot of effort to obtain."
