When I woke up, nothing happened.
Mary slept more deeply than Bai Heqing, so when she woke up, Bai Heqing had already packed up the bedding, checked the wound, and then stood on the balcony for a while.
"Are you awake?" Hearing the movement behind him, Bai Heqing turned to look at her and greeted her.
"Um."
After twisting her neck, Mary nodded and replied, while glancing at the photo in Bai Heqing's hand.
Before she woke up, Bai Heqing seemed to have been looking at the photo, but unfortunately, due to the angle, Bai Heqing had already put it down before she could see clearly what was on the photo. Back in his pocket.
"Get ready, it's time to go."
"good."
Without paying too much attention, Mary nodded, and after the two simply washed and tidied up, they left the apartment.
When they arrived at the Paris airport, they thought they needed to book their own flights, but instead they came into contact with an MI6 agent sent by Stewart to meet them at the airport.
It seems that Bai Heqing's disappearance two days ago really frightened him, so much so that Stewart even sent someone to handle him during the last part of the journey...
Maybe, the apartment where he and Mary slept last night has been closely monitored and protected?
Suddenly, Bai Heqing had such an idea in his mind.
In this way, the two of them boarded the plane under the escort of MI6 agents, and then spent the two-hour journey without any incident. After two days, they returned to the base camp of MI6 - London, England.
Stewart did not ask to see the two of them, nor did he even make any special requests to the two of them. After Bai Heqing called him to tell him that they had arrived in London, Stewart directly withdrew the agents who had followed them back and He said that the two of you can just have fun and just call him if you need help with anything.
This is very wrong.
It is true that Bai Heqing and Mary don't really want to be followed by this group of agents now.
After all, according to what the doctor on the freighter said before, when the two return to London, Black Rose will come to discuss their "inheritance" with them.
If there is no way to remove these protective agents, Black Rose may not appear so easily, and Bai Heqing and the others have no way to contact her.
Now that Stewart has taken the initiative to withdraw these agents, it will indeed facilitate the next actions of the two.
But at the same time, Bai Heqing was keenly aware of the anomaly.
I don't know if he is too sensitive, but Bai Heqing always feels that Stewart's actions always have the feeling that he knows what the two of them are going to do next, so he deliberately opened the door for them...
It seems that the rhetoric he prepared on the phone yesterday did not really deceive this old man...
When Bai Heqing explained to Stuart the events he and Mary encountered in Paris two days ago, he deliberately concealed Black Rose's role in these events.
After all, no matter what, this phantom thief lady did save his and Mary's lives. If he turned around and betrayed her to MI6, Shirakawa Qing would feel bad.
And Mary thought so too, although she was still very angry that she was being followed by Black Rose but didn't realize it...
So after discussion, the two of them jointly weaved the prepared rhetoric. But now it seems that their lies did not deceive Stewart, and Stewart even used it to deduce the next actions of the two.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Realizing this, Bai Heqing sighed softly.
But since the old man didn't expose their little trick, he probably acquiesced in their next actions.
"Bai He, what should we do next? When do you think Black Rose will contact us?" Mary asked as soon as she walked out of London Airport.
"She must have investigated our identities. I think she should also know that I won't stay in London for too long, so it won't be too late..."
[I won’t stay in London too long...]
Hearing what Bai Heqing said, Mary felt suddenly depressed for some reason.
Not noticing anything unusual about her, Bai Heqing thought for a moment and then said:
"Let's go to the apartment where you live, Mary. I think there should be clues there... huh? Mary?"
Not hearing her response, Bai Heqing turned to look at her, only to find that she was lowering her head, seemingly distracted.
"Ah? Okay! Let's go to the apartment I rented first!" Mary quickly came back to her senses and replied quickly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Heqing looked at her doubtfully.
"No, it's nothing! Let's go! Don't waste time! There are still people in Tokyo waiting for you to go back!"
Mary quickly dropped the subject and walked quickly ahead.
"call……"
Taking a long breath of relief, Mary shook her head vigorously to get rid of the entangled thoughts in her mind.
【Stop imagining things! Mary, don’t forget that you wanted to get rid of these troubles quickly! It’s only been a few days! 】
[Besides, Shirakawa was originally going back to Tokyo...]
"..."
In this way, the two returned all the way to Mary's apartment in London.
Just as Shirakawa Kiyoshi had speculated before, there were indeed clues related to the Black Rose in Mary's apartment.
But what he didn't expect was that the clue would be like this...
"Yo? Are you two back?"
Opening the door, as soon as Bai Heqing and Mary walked in, they saw Black Rose, wearing an apron and standing next to the stove making lunch, turned her head and greeted them with a smile.
"I came very early. It seems that the flight is not delayed. I haven't even made lunch yet..."
Mary's eyes widened and she looked at her in disbelief. After a while, she came to her senses. She turned around and glanced at the house number outside, and then stared at the black rose in the room with disbelief.
"How did you get in?"
"Miss Mary, you shouldn't ask this kind of question to a Phantom Thief. This is questioning my ability." Black Rose looked at her seriously.
"This is my home!" Mary said loudly.
Great, she's getting angry again.
"I know this is your home, that's why I came in!" Black Rose replied equally loudly, as if the problem was not her but Mary's.
Bai Heqing silently pulled Mary in and closed the apartment door.
"Forget it if you break into a house without permission! Why do you still want to search my kitchen?!"
"Because I want to make lunch for you! Have you eaten anything in the morning?! Aren't you even hungry now?!"
"I'm a little hungry! But..."
"No buts! Eating is the most important thing right now! The meal is ready! Come and get the bowl!"
Just like that, the three of them sat down at the small dining table.
"How's it going? Does it taste good?" Black Rose picked up the chopsticks and looked at the two of them with a smile and asked.
"Japanese food." Mary picked up some with chopsticks and tasted a little. She looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Have you lived in Japan before?"
Bai Heqing on the side also raised his head and looked at her curiously.
Speaking of which, neither he nor Mary knew the true identity of Black Rose.
Although Black Rose now has the face of an East Asian woman, her face did not look like this when she was in the Louvre before...
This woman has obviously mastered some method of changing her appearance.
"Oh, this..."
Seeing that both of them were curious about this, Black Rose put down her chopsticks, pointed at her face, and said with a smile:
"I almost forgot, let me introduce myself. My real name is Okino Mina."
∠( ∠)＿
I saw someone in the comment area saying that Shirakawa Shizu deceived Shirakawa Kiyo about Miyano Akemi. How can I put it? Why are no book friends curious about why Shirakawa Kiyo came to Shirakawa Shizu to confirm "whether Miyano Akemi is dead or not?" What about this?
