"It's you?"
Shirakawa Qing recognized the woman in the driver's seat as the mysterious woman who had come to the apartment to inform her that Mary had been arrested.
"Who is she?" Mary asked puzzledly.
"She was the one who told me that you were caught at the dock." Bai Heqing replied truthfully.
"what?"
After a moment's pause, Mary's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp when she looked at the other person.
"Were you following me?"
"Ahaha~" Black Rose laughed in the driver's seat and urged: "You two, now is not the time to worry about these things here. The Paris police are coming soon. Get in the car quickly and I will take you out of here. .”
Mary looked at Bai Heqing when she heard that, and Bai Heqing hesitated for a moment before opening the car door for her.
"Let's go, get in the car first."
He had vaguely guessed the identity of the mysterious woman in front of him.
"Wise choice!"
After snapping her fingers, Black Rose waited for both of them to get in the car, then stepped on the accelerator, made a drift turn, and sped out of the dock.
"Hmm...where should I begin?"
While speeding on the highway, Black Rose looked through the rearview mirror at the two people sitting in the back seat who were staring at her, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
[These two people really don’t seem to get along well…]
"Ahem, anyway, let me apologize first."
Black Rose coughed twice to hide her guilty conscience and said with a smile:
"It was wrong of me to follow you, but you can't blame me entirely. After all, you two looked like you had bad intentions towards me before, and I was scared too..."
【Before?】
Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard this, while Bai Heqing lowered his eyes.
Black Rose's words made him completely certain of her identity.
“But you two are really amazing, you actually knocked down all those people on the dock, you are so strong!
That’s right! Since I passed on the information to you, can you do me a favor? "
"What's the deal?"
"Ah? There's no rush for that. You'll know soon. For now, please take a rest..."
As she spoke, Black Rose suddenly snapped her fingers, and like a magic trick, a small spray bottle suddenly appeared in her hand.
The bottle contains anesthetic liquid.
Chapter 411 Are We in Heaven?
When Baihe Qing woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed.
I was in a room made of metal wall panels, filled with medical equipment, with no windows, a glaring white light hanging from the ceiling, and the door 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 it still hurt a little. There was an IV on the back of his left hand.
【Where is this? 】
After a brief mental delay, he quickly recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.
At the dock, after he rescued Mary, the mysterious woman who had previously informed him that Mary was in trouble drove over. Because he judged that the other party had no ill intentions, Bai Heqing finally agreed to take a ride in her car.
In the car, the three of them conducted some simple mutual testing. After the mysterious woman said that she hoped they could do her a favor in return for her rescue of the two men, she knocked them down with an anesthetic spray bottle.
[This is really…]
Thinking back to everything that had happened, Shirakawa Qing shook his head in self-mockery.
It was the first time for him to be knocked down so easily. If Keiko, Kokarasuma and the others knew about this, he estimated that he would be ridiculed for at least a week before he could move on.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things.
There was not only one bed in the room. On the other bed next to it was Mary, who was still unconscious.
Bai Heqing pulled out the IV drip on the back of his hand, walked over and pressed hard on her philtrum.
"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. She asked subconsciously before her mind was fully clear:
"It's so bright here, are we in heaven?"
Looking down at her cute face with eyes blinking, Bai Heqing thought for a moment and replied seriously.
"As for heaven... Mary, you should be fine, but I may not be able to go there."
"So we're going to hell?"
"That's not necessary. We should be on a ship now." Bai Heqing said.
Ever since he woke up, he could feel that the whole room had been shaking irregularly in a familiar way.
It was obvious that the two were now on the same boat.
"On the ship?"
Finally, Mary's brain regained consciousness. Remembering her coma, she sat up suddenly from the bed and quickly scanned the room.
"That woman attacked us? Where is she?!"
"Not sure. When I woke up, there were only two of us in the room."
Compared to Mary's somewhat anxious and excited tone, Shirakawa Kiyoshi was much calmer.
He did not forget the last words the mysterious woman said before she knocked them both unconscious. She needed them both to help her do something.
In that case, she will definitely appear again, so there is no need for him to worry.
"That mysterious woman should be the Black Rose we are looking for." Bai Heqing said.
Mary did not ask any questions when she heard this. Her expression was slightly solemn, and then she nodded.
She had already guessed this when she was in the car.
"She said that the reason she followed us was because we were planning something bad to her, which made her feel very uneasy..."
Resisting the urge to complain about Black Rose's strange logic, Shirakawa Qing said:
"Finding the Black Rose and retrieving those artifacts is our only purpose in coming to Paris. Besides the two of us, the only people in Paris who know about this are..."
"It was the female staff member we met at the Louvre."
Mary continued, "She can understand Japanese. She understood our conversation at the Louvre and followed us afterwards. She even followed me all the way to the pier..."
At this point, Mary's expression was very conflicted.
As an agent, being followed for such a long time without noticing it was actually a very embarrassing thing, not to mention that the person who followed her indirectly saved her life in the end...
I feel an indescribable depression in my heart.
"Crench."
Just then, the door of the room was pushed open and a figure walked in.
The figure was a middle-aged white man with ordinary looks, wearing glasses and a white coat, and looked like a doctor.
"woke up?"
The man looked at the two people who had already woken up. He did not look surprised, but nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the physical fitness of both of you is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people, and the speed of waking up is much faster than I expected?"
"Who are you?" Mary looked at him warily and asked.
"I'm the one who will heal your wounds. If you don't mind, just call me doctor. Also, don't worry about the medical expenses. I'm here to treat you on behalf of others. I don't charge any money."
As the doctor spoke, he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and threw it to Bai Heqing.
"This is a medicine I developed myself. It can promote the rapid recovery of wounds. It also has the function of stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Take it twice a day, one pill at a time. If you take more than that, you will take your own consequences."
"Entrusted by someone, do you mean Black Rose?" Bai Heqing asked. He took the medicine bottle, took a look at it, and handed it to Mary next to him.
It was simple, 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, then said, "It seems that you two are indeed special. No wonder she asked you to help...
Since we are all knowledgeable people, I will make it short. Officer Baihe, the purpose of your coming to Paris should be to track down the cultural relics in Black Rose's hands that were stolen from Japan by an international theft gang, right?"
"That's right." Bai Heqing nodded.
He was not surprised that the doctor called out his name. After all, he always carried his police officer ID with him, and the other party would be able to find out with just a quick body search.
"Sure enough."
After confirming this, the doctor continued, "Before she left, Black Rose asked me to tell you 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 'legacy'.
If you accept this deal, then after the deal is done, she will return the cultural relics to you intact.
Of course, you can refuse, Black Rose won’t force you, and even if you refuse, she will personally send the cultural relics back to Japan.”
"What do you mean by 'legacy'?" Mary asked.
"Don't worry about this. If you are willing to accept this deal, Black Rose will explain it to you in person after you return to England. As for now..."
The doctor walked forward, pulled out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the two.
"In order to show her sincerity, Black Rose is willing to provide you with some information that she obtained with great effort."
Thank you for the reward from Daidai Bookworm. I will give you tea and massage your back (but adding more is impossible)
