There is no better way to start with Julia than with Fletcher.
Julia is only a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, so it should be much easier to handle. As long as you can enter Julia's room, the study is not difficult.
There are two options for this idea.
The first is to find a way to convince Julia. The advantage is that you can go directly through the window into the study at night and have plenty of time to investigate. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to convince Julia and the risk is high.
The second option is to wait for Julia to go to school, sneak in secretly, and then climb through the window to enter the study. The advantage is that you don’t have to have too much contact with Julia. The disadvantage is that you are basically under Fletcher’s surveillance during the day.
, there is no time to go out at all.
Of these two options, he couldn't decide for a while which one was more suitable for him. He could only go forward in both directions, take one step at a time, and wait until the situation became clear before making a decision.
It was too late, and after Verak thought this through, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed to sleep.
In the next few days, Verak started to advance two plans, and the progress of the second plan seemed to be better for the time being.
He usually only met Julia at breakfast and dinner. It was not easy to communicate with Julia in public. The meeting was basically a simple greeting. Otherwise, what did Verak think?
It would be very inappropriate to expand it, so I am always frozen and can only wait for a better opportunity.
The second plan paid off. Verak was trained by Fletcher for several days. Not only was he tired, Fletcher stayed in the bedroom all day long, teaching him things that seemed simple to him.
, and also a little upset.
Starting from the third day, he began to leave the bedroom frequently, letting Verak study by himself and check again after a while.
Verak tried to figure out Fletcher's travel patterns, and soon discovered that although Fletcher's going out time was random, the time he went out began to become longer and longer, from ten minutes to half an hour.
Hour.
July 21st, Friday.
In the afternoon of this day, Fletcher planned the next task for Verak and left. Verak glanced at the content. Under normal circumstances, it would take about an hour to write this down. Even if Fletcher comes back early to check, it should be at most
Half an hour in advance, that is to say, he has half an hour to go out safely.
Today is the best opportunity. Because Julia usually goes to school from 9 am to 3 pm, and has holidays on weekends. If Verak misses today's opportunity, he will have to wait until next Monday to make plans. In addition, wait until Mela
It's not easy to go out with Kellerman. The two of them go out at irregular times, and they don't have many opportunities to go out. There's no telling what will happen next week.
The best thing is to do it as soon as possible while everything is ready today.
So Verak quietly slipped out a few minutes after Fletcher went out. At this time, the servants did not wander in the corridor, and Verak arrived at Julia's door safely. Fortunately, Julia did not lock it.
Door, Verak entered smoothly.
Julia's room was very clean and tidy, more luxurious than Chris's bedroom, and there were some dolls piled on the bed. Verak was not interested in these, he just glanced around to understand the layout, then took off his shoes and walked straight to the window to make sure
After seeing no one outside, I looked through the window of the study room next door.
The god of fate favored him again, and the window of the study room was left open.
Verak decisively climbed out of the window, held on to the window edge with one hand, and grabbed the study window with the other. Then he made a bold leap and got directly into Carmine's study.
"Huh." Verak steadied himself after entering, making as little noise as possible, and then looked around.
On the left side of the study room is a huge bookshelf that occupies an entire wall, and on the right side is a collection shelf. Next to the window, there is an expensive desk with exquisite workmanship. After memorizing the layout of the study room, Verak ignored his heart pounding.
, first quickly came to the desk and looked through the information placed on the desktop.
He read very quickly, and basically swept through the contents of a page. If he didn't find any keywords, he would switch to the next page. The information on the desk was quickly read, and there was nothing on the surface that Verak thought.
He opened the drawers and cabinets and continued his in-depth investigation. There was no valuable information in them, which made Verak feel a little strange.
Something is wrong.
Verak would think it was reasonable for Carmine's drawer to be locked. But now that there is no precautions, as if it can be openly shown to everyone, it doesn't make sense.
If there really was nothing of value, why would Carmine lock the door to the study and let Fletcher keep the key?
There is only one possibility that can explain this, and that is that this room has the same secret compartment as Chris's bedroom, and the really important things are hidden in the secret compartment. The reason why Verak did not guess the existence of the secret room,
It was because when he passed by the study in the past few days, he observed that the layout around the study made it impossible for him to have space to create a secret room.
After coming to the conclusion, Verak did the same thing as he did when he searched Chris' room, tapping and listening to sounds and touch to determine whether there were any abnormalities on the floor and walls.
Due to time constraints, Verak was not going to knock it over hastily for the sake of efficiency. He was mentally prepared that he would not gain anything today. Instead of having to do it all over again after typing in a hurry without discovering anything, it was better to use the limited time to check it carefully first.
The wall, even if nothing is gained, is enough to rule out the possibility of hiding something in the wall.
Time passed little by little, and Verak suppressed his uneasiness, calmed his mind and finished inspecting the wall where the collection was placed.
No clues were found.
The possibility is higher on the other side of the bookshelf, and the corresponding workload is greater. Unfortunately, the time has passed the safety line for half an hour. For safety reasons, Verak must retreat first and focus on inspection next time. Just here
At this time, there was a sound outside. Verak looked stern and came to the window to look down. He saw two people getting out of a car in front of the mansion. One was Fletcher and the other was Dempsey!
Verak's eyes widened.
Many questions came to mind.
In his impression, Fletcher had never brought Dempsey to the mansion. Why did he bring him in this life?
It was clear that Nord was also locked up in the hotel, but Fletcher only took Dempsey with him. What happened in the hotel?
Verak always felt that it was not a good thing that Dempsey was brought here, and Fletcher had no good intentions. He brought Dempsey all the way just to witness a tragic scene where friends finally met each other.
After Fletcher and Dempsey entered the building, Verak immediately climbed back to Julia's bedroom from the window, and then ran back to Chris's room with his shoes. As soon as he closed the door, he heard footsteps in the corridor.
Voice.
Verak quickly put on his shoes, sat back at the desk, took a deep breath, and started flipping through the book.
Two seconds later, the door was pushed open by Fletcher: "What do you remember?"
"It's okay, these two pages -" Verak was mentally prepared, turned his head and said half a sentence before staring at Dempsey behind Fletcher in astonishment, speechless.
