"You go up first." Mrs. Mela said when she saw that Carmine had gone out, but Verak still kept his gesture of bowing to apologize.
"...Yes, Mrs. Mela." Verak apologized to Mela and Kellerman again, and then returned upstairs to the bedroom.
Sitting at the desk, Verak frowned, turning the pen in his hand, and estimated the approximate time it would take for the Thomas family to eradicate him.
A total of sixty-nine days passed from the time when the previous Verak left Tswold City on July 15th to when he was designed to die on September 21st.
In this life, only fifteen days have passed, less than a quarter of the original time. However, because many things are completely different, time comparison may not be so rigorous, and the reference value is greatly weakened.
Therefore, if you want to deduce the time when the Thomas family eradicated you, you must first find out why the Thomas family chose September 21st to kill you in the previous life. Is it because they simply thought that the time was long enough, or there is another hidden reason.
Verak closed his eyes and concentrated on recalling all the major events in the period before he was killed in his previous life. During those days, almost all of Lezein was busy with the World Exposition, and the Thomas family was no exception.
The gramophone company owned by the Thomas family will display the latest gramophone models at the expo, and singers from the record company will also perform at the opening ceremony to increase international influence and expand record sales channels.
The day after the death of the previous life Verak, that is, September 22, was the rehearsal time for the opening ceremony of the World Exposition. Three days later, on September 25, the Exposition officially opened.
Chris, whom Verak pretended to be, was in charge of the Thomas family's record company and should have also participated in the rehearsal and played a key role for the Thomas family at the expo.
What should be the connection between the two?
Verak made a preliminary guess.
The World Exposition is very important to the Thomas family. His performance in his previous life was too poor, and Carmine believed that it would be very risky for him to participate in it. In addition, faking an accidental death at this juncture can attract more people's attention.
, which can eliminate the suspicion of the Thomas family to the greatest extent.
Therefore, they chose September 21st to kill themselves.
If this guess is correct, it means that when the Thomas family wants to eliminate Verak, two conditions need to be met.
One, Verak can no longer hide it.
Second, Verak's death can attract many people's attention.
When these two conditions are not met, the Thomas family can still disguise their attitude towards him as long as they can. As long as there is a long enough interval between the death of the real Chris, it will be difficult for the government to suspect them.
However, after only half a month, Verak is already on the verge of achieving the first condition. If the Thomas family cannot control Elizabeth and Elizabeth insists on finding out the situation, then the first condition will be fulfilled directly, and Verak will
Half a foot will step into the gate of hell.
"My luck has run out..." Verak muttered to himself.
Carmine wants to practice spending money, Verak decides to spend money at a charity dinner, and meets Elizabeth at the charity dinner.
As long as there is a slight deviation in these three points, it will not lead to the current situation. But Verak just happened to be lucky enough.
There is no point in regretting now. We can only hurry up and think of ways to improve the situation as much as possible, or prepare for a worse situation.
Verak estimates that he will be imprisoned for at least another week. This week, he may not even be able to contact Daniel, let alone pass on information to the outside world. Therefore, for quite some time in the future, he will only have the opportunity to pass on information to the outside world.
, that is when Colin is invited to come tomorrow.
Carmine, Fletcher would not let him out at all. He should have called Colin at home and directly invited Colin over for Carmine to talk to him.
Well, Verak has two ways to deliver the message.
Either find a way to contact Daniel tomorrow, or ask Colin to take it out and give it to Daniel.
It is undoubtedly the safest to hand it to Daniel directly, and leave it to Colin. Verak is not sure whether Colin will open it secretly out of curiosity. In order to eliminate unnecessary risks, Verak decided to write two pieces of information. If he can get in touch
When you get to Daniel, give him the copy with detailed arrangements. If you can only contact Colin, give him the abbreviated version that does not involve confidentiality.
After considering everything, Verak did not waste time and quickly wrote up the arrangements while Fletcher was still outside and had no time to trouble him.
In the detailed arrangement, Verak wrote that Carmine had once again restricted his movements, and all subsequent scheduled meetings were temporarily suspended. All members should keep a low profile as much as possible, and other matters would be awaited notification. As for the information that Chloe was entrusted to investigate,
Leave it to Daniel to find a way to hand it over to Verak at any time.
In the simple arrangement, Verak only wrote one sentence: "I can't go out due to a recurrence of my old illness, please wait for news."
After doing this, it was only nine o'clock. Today was another sleepless night for the Thomas family. Different from the file theft incident, Verak could not sleep either.
After standing in front of the window in a daze for a long time, Verak sighed.
He needs to create a trump card that can save his life as quickly as possible, so that even if he breaks up with the Thomas family, he will not fall into a situation where he is at the mercy of others. However, the kind of situation where he is exposed to face-to-face confrontation will naturally
The later it happens, the better.
No matter what, go to sleep first and recharge your batteries.
Verak thought.
There is no use waiting now. It is better to have a good sleep, find a way to pass on the information tomorrow, and then wait to accept Fletcher's wrath and wait for the Thomas family to deal with the situation.
After washing up, Verak lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and finally managed to fall asleep for a long time.
The next day, July 31, the servant woke up Verak in the early morning: "Master Chris, Mr. Carmine asked you to meet him in the study."
He probably wanted to contact Colin himself. Verak didn't know how Fletcher's investigation was going. He nodded: "I'll go over after I wash up."
After washing, Verak came to Carmine's study and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." Carmine's voice came from the study.
Verak pushed open the door and walked to Carmine: "Mr. Carmine."
"Sit down." Carmine sat in front of the desk and got straight to the point in a calm tone. "Call Colin and tell him that you want to talk about traveling. After he comes over, you can chat with him casually. When the time comes,
I will go over, you leave on the pretext of going to the bathroom, and I will talk to him personally and ask about Elizabeth."
Carmine had already finished planning, so Verak had no choice but to pick up the phone on his desk and contact Colin.
