"Tsk, you really have a gun?"
Mary was not too surprised by this. After all, when she was on the bus before, a white man among these people pulled out a pistol, and she was prepared for this.
"Don't blame me, you were the ones who started it..."
Muttering to herself, Mary also pulled out a pistol from her coat pocket and pulled the bolt.
Under normal circumstances, even MI6 agents cannot wander around the streets with guns.
Of course, today happens not to be a normal day.
When she followed the major to stake out the bar in the morning, the major considered that among their targets this time there were members of the French Mafia, so he applied to his superiors in advance to issue them pistols.
I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.
Holding the gun in both hands, Mary stuck her head out of the wall at an extremely fast speed, then retracted it.
Her movement caused Jack, who was on the other side and in a state of high tension, to pull the trigger subconsciously.
"Bang bang bang!"
Intensive gunfire rang out again, leaving several bullet holes near the wall where Mary stuck her head out.
At the same time, Mary instantly fell to the ground, lying on her side, with her hands stretched out over the wall, aiming at Jack's gun-holding hand and shot.
"Bah!"
"Ugh!"
A scream was heard, and a hole was pierced in Jack's palm by the bullet, and the pistol was knocked out.
Without giving him any chance to react, Mary quickly stood up and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, she had covered a distance of more than ten meters, leaped into the air, and kicked him to the ground with a roundhouse kick, clean and neat.
[Strange, where's the other one? Did he escape?]
Mary turned Jack over and pinned him to the ground with his hands behind his back. She knelt on him and looked around vigilantly.
"Whoosh..."
On the other side, the white man who took the opportunity to escape after Jack fired the shot ran through several paths in one breath. After leaving the two men far behind, he stopped and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
"I'm sorry, Jack. There's an old saying in Big Rabbit that goes, 'I'd rather die than let my friend die.' That woman is obviously a trained warrior. Even if we have guns, we probably can't be her match. I just hope you can hold on a little longer and buy me some time to escape...
Damn, I was really unlucky this time. Not only did my goods get stolen, but I was almost busted by that couple. London is simply poisonous..."
"Snapped."
Just as the white man was chattering, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"Who?"
The white man subconsciously turned around and found that the person standing behind him was Bai Heqing, who had just fought seven people alone after driving wildly in the car.
"You, you, how come you..."
He was instantly frightened, and before the white man could finish a complete sentence, Bai Heqing quickly attacked and punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
Then, Shirakawa Qing grabbed him by the back of his collar, carried him on one shoulder and walked towards where Mary was.
"Shirakawa!"
In the deserted alley, Mary breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Baihe Qing appear safely.
"Caught two streets away."
Bai He counted the heads and threw the white man on his shoulders and Jack who was knocked unconscious by Mary together.
"Are you okay?" Mary looked him over carefully.
"without thanks."
Shaking his head, Bai Heqing quickly scanned Mary's body. After finding that she was not injured, he shifted his gaze and looked at the two people lying on the ground.
Then he raised his foot and kicked the white man named Jack, whose hands were tied, awake.
"Wow! Is it, is it you?!"
Jack opened his eyes and saw Bai Heqing standing in front of him. His eyes were filled with extreme fear, his face turned pale, and he screamed:
"Don't come over here! Stay away from me! I'm going to call the police, I'm going to call the police! Get the London Police Department over here quickly! I've already pleaded guilty! If you dare to hit me now, it's prisoner abuse! It's a crime! The British police will not let you go!"
While shouting, his legs were kicking on the ground, as if he was trying to get up and run away.
Looking at his terrified expression as he shouted and screamed, a hint of doubt appeared in Bai Heqing's eyes.
He didn't understand at all.
"What did he say?" He turned to look at Mary beside him.
"He's afraid you'll beat him up."
Mary just shook her head and smiled bitterly.
She could understand Jack's reaction. After all, considering the severity of Bai Heqing's previous attack, even if those who were injured by him recovered, they would basically suffer from some permanent injuries that were difficult to recover from.
The psychological shock is indeed great.
"Let me interrogate this man."
Sighing, Mary squatted down and took out her ID.
Chapter 400 Target Black Rose
"MI6, Sera Marie."
In the deserted alley, Mary showed Jack her MI6 ID.
"You, you are not a police officer?" Jack asked subconsciously after looking at her ID.
"What? It sounds like you think we in MI6 are no match for the London Police?" 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 MI to come after us..."
"It sounds like you are somewhat aware of what you have done. I don't want to waste any more words. Where did you hide those cultural relics stolen from Japan?
Also, who is the person who will secretly trade those cultural relics with you today?Tell me all this. "
Straight to the point, Mary raised her finger and pointed at Shirakawa Qing, who had dragged another white man away, beat him up with punches and kicks, and then began to violently interrogate him.
Looking at this scene, Mary always felt as if she had forgotten something... No, now was not the time to think about these things.
"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!"
Jack swallowed subconsciously and looked at Bai Heqing. He suddenly remembered how his other five companions were knocked down by Bai Heqing on the bus. He nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"I say! Those cultural relics, those cultural relics have been stolen!"
"Stolen?"
Mary had never expected Jack to answer like this. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at him coldly with a half-smile on her face.
"Really, really!"
Knowing that Mary didn't believe him, Jack hurriedly explained:
"The seven of us arrived in London last night! When we woke up in the hotel this morning, the artifacts had already been stolen! It was the Black Rose who did it!"
"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's identity is mysterious and he 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 could be said to be...very righteous?
As we all know, several old capitalist countries in Europe have plundered a large number of historical relics from countries around the world during their colonial rule.
After stealing these cultural relics, Black Rose will quietly return them to the countries where they originally belonged after a period of time.
Because he only steals historical relics and returns them to their original countries after the theft, he has left an excellent reputation in the hearts of the European people and was even given the slightly commendatory title of "Phantom Thief".
As for the code name "Black Rose", it is mainly because this person would leave a paper black rose at the scene after committing a crime. Over time, police from various countries began to use this as his code name.
Some time ago, Mary seemed to have heard that Black Rose seemed to have committed a crime in the British Museum, and the other party seemed to be active in the UK recently...
Of course, she had only heard about it and was not very clear about the specific circumstances. After all, catching the phantom thief was the job of 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:
"We opened the safe where the cultural relics were stored this morning and found that everything inside was gone! There was only a black paper rose left in the safe! And, and..."
"What else?"
"There is also a card for Black Rose's next target..." Jack replied.
This is the second characteristic of black rose.
As if to provoke the police in European countries, Black Rose would often leave behind not only its iconic black rose but also a card with the location of its next action after committing a crime.
This card not only marks the target of the theft, but also deliberately indicates the time when Black Rose is ready to act. It is simply outrageous.
Even so, the police in European countries have indeed never been able to catch this person...
"Mary."
Just then, Bai Heqing, who had finished the interrogation, came over.
Not far behind him, the white man who he had just beaten awake and interrogated had been knocked unconscious again and was lying limply on the side of the road.
"Black Rose."
Before Mary could ask, Shirakawa Qing said the code name first.
"Yeah." Mary nodded. It seemed that they both got the same result.
【Um? 】
Then, Mary suddenly realized something, and she finally remembered what she had felt strange about just now.
That's not right. You don't understand English, right? How did you ask that?
