"Why go back? Hasn't he already passed the test?" Although Fletcher had said that he could not explain the reason, Verak still pretended to find it difficult to accept it and asked a question that was destined to be unanswered, "Is it because of yesterday?
Did you go out with me once? We haven’t interacted with anyone outside, so there shouldn’t be any oversights?”
"No comment on this, but don't worry, I will arrange for him and your other friend Nord to come back as soon as possible." Fletcher never let go, "Okay, get ready to go down for lunch."
Verak immediately felt depressed, nodded slowly, and followed Fletcher downstairs.
That former friend was really dead, really died so simply. It was okay to say that he died at the hands of Verak, who felt a little uncomfortable. Fletcher could sense Verak's sadness, but it was logical.
I understood that it was because Dempsey left and didn't pay much attention to it.
After lunch, Fletcher unexpectedly gave Verak a half-day off: "You can rest all afternoon today, but you still have to remember that you cannot leave this room."
"What about you?" Verak asked.
"I'm busy, so training will continue tomorrow." Fletcher vaguely explained the reason.
After Fletcher left, Verak kept standing at the window, waiting for Fletcher to go out.
Carmine did not come back at noon today, Julia is at school, Mela, and Kellerman will take a lunch break after lunch. Today, Verak will have more than two hours to search the study with confidence, and he has a strong hunch
, there will be a harvest this time, a big harvest.
After waiting for a few minutes, Verak saw Fletcher leaving the mansion and leaving in a car. He immediately turned to open the door, entered Carmine's study from Julia's room, and started investigating where he left off last time.
An hour later, the bookshelves were searched, and there was no hidden compartment.
After checking the two shelves that are most likely to have hidden compartments, there is only one possibility left. The hidden compartment is under the floor like the one in Chris's room.
Verak did not search the floor at the beginning because he felt that there were obviously more suitable places for hidden compartments in the study. Unexpectedly, in the end, his cleverness was mistaken. After searching from the floor, Verak quickly discovered it from under the globe on the side.
abnormal.
It's the same as the hidden compartment in Chris' room, and the gap in the floor is slightly wider than in other places.
Verak moved the globe away and used a knife to lift up the floor from the gap. The floor opened smoothly and there was a space below that was the same size as the hidden compartment in Chris' room.
"As expected of a family..." Verak muttered, without making any rash moves, he first observed the things inside.
Paper documents of various sizes were neatly stacked inside, and the remaining space contained keys that Verak had no idea of their purpose and several boxes with combination locks.
Verak didn't need the key or the box with the combination lock yet, so he noted the placement of the items inside, and then moved out a thick pile of information.
The secrets of Carmine and Chris were about to be revealed. Verak was so nervous that beads of sweat quickly broke out on his forehead. He was afraid that the beads of sweat would drip on the paper and leave traces, so he quickly wiped it clean.
There was still plenty of time, but after actually getting the information, Verak still felt guilty. He chose to stand by the window, staring at the entrance of the mansion, while searching for information about Chris.
After flipping through a few pages, Verak saw the titles "Chris" and "Rebel Organization" on a very thick file bag. He couldn't help breathing a little heavier, took out the file bag, and put it away.
On the side.
Verak will take away the files about the rebel organization directly. This is not because he cannot remember the information in it, but because after he is tied to the rebel organization in the future, Carmine's possession of this information will be very detrimental to the rebel organization.
Now that he has stolen the file bag, the Thomas family will have no trump card against the rebel organization.
Even if Carmine later discovers that the file bag is missing, he will not suspect Verac. Speaking of which, this is also due to the death of Dempsey. Dempsey and Verac went out together, and were arrested in the evening.
Death by assassination. From the perspective of Carmine and Fletcher, the only ones with the ability and motive to assassinate Dempsey are the rebel organizations.
It happened that at this juncture, information about the rebel organization was stolen, and they would naturally suspect the rebel organization. Verak, who had always been timid and obedient, would not attract any attention at all.
Having already planned to take the file bag back and read it slowly, Verak now spends more time stealing other things. If he can steal more secrets of the Carmine and Thomas families, he must not miss it. After all, he will not miss it in the future.
When you are full-fledged and want to confront the Thomas family head-on, you can hold some handle to control them.
Moreover, the theft of these things will of course be attributed to the rebel organization that has too much trouble to bear. It has nothing to do with the innocent Verak.
"The bill..." Verak turned to a file bag with a bill written on it.
If it were an ordinary bill, it shouldn't be hidden in such a secret place. I'm afraid there are many shady secrets in this bill. Verak opened the file bag, took out the bills inside and looked through it.
There are dozens of pages of old and new bills, and the bills contain a huge amount of private financial transactions. Although Verak did not know the names of everyone in them, the amount of money spent by Carmine was enough to tell that everyone in them was
Everyone has been of great help to the Thomas family.
This bill was very valuable, so Verak collected it. When he had the opportunity to find out what the person whose name corresponded to it did, the purpose of the secret collusion between the two parties would come to light.
Just when he was about to turn over again, a car drove over from a distance outside. Verak recognized that it was the vehicle Fletcher left in, and he hurriedly bent down to avoid being seen.
There was not much time left. Verak put aside the files of the bill and the rebel organization, and put everything else back to their original places. After the floor was closed and the globe was moved back, Fletcher also got out of the car.
Enter the mansion.
Verak first threw the two file bags into Julia's room, then turned them over by himself, and returned to Chris's bedroom with two file bags that were enough to subvert the current situation.
"Huh..." Because he was not sure whether Fletcher would come to him immediately after he came back, Verak hid the file bag in the closet and did not read it in a hurry.
He was a little regretful that he couldn't get more information. Those boxes with combination locks probably contained even more amazing secrets. If he could get them all, Carmine would probably be scared to death.
Unfortunately, time is limited, and the lockbox is too bulky to carry and hide, so this is destined to be just a thought.
