In France, he stayed at a place with a swimming pool, which is the headquarters of the French External Security Bureau.
But what about when he arrived in London? He stayed in a safehouse.
Gao Yi and his group were invited into a seemingly ordinary two-story semi-detached villa. It was well-located but not spacious, yet this safehouse had a strong sense of domestic life.
There were nine pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet, seven of them women's shoes and two men's leather shoes.
Just by glancing once, Gao Yi knew that there was a female owner in the house, and even sensed that the lady had left in a hurry.
"This is my house, I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to stay here for one night, I assure you it's absolutely safe!"
Kir's own house.
In other words, Gao Yi and his companions had moved into Kir's house.
The head of one of the Five permanent biggest and most prestigious intelligence agencies now can't offer a safe refuge and has to stay at his own home for security.
