The crackling sound of the flames burning the wood caused the people in the house to start tossing and turning, and the temperature of the space rose quickly, Alex woke up from a violent cough covered in sweat, and the room was full of smoke, even a meter away had become blurred. He immediately pushed his wife beside him, picked up the kettle at the head of the bed and poured the water on his clothes, covered his mouth and nose with wet clothes, and pulled his wife, who was not yet alert, to rush to the balcony.

The windows on the first floor and the gaps in the connection with the outside world were spitting black smoke frantically, and there was a trace of fire looming in these smokes, and there was a fire!

"Jump!", Alex yelled again, and his wife came to her senses in horror, she looked back at the bedroom in a bit of a panic, Alex knew what she was thinking, but it was too late now.

The jewelry that Alex gave her over the years was put in her dressing room, which contained a large pile of expensive clothes and jewelry, worth at least a hundred thousand. In the study next to the powder room there is a safe with more valuable things.

No matter how precious these things were, they were less than one ten-thousandth of life, and his wife immediately flipped through the guardrail, grabbed the balcony railing and slowly descended until her hands grabbed the balcony floor, and her legs had hung down to a place just over a meter above the ground, and then let go of her hands.

The light of the fire also alarmed the surrounding neighbors, and someone had already reported the fire alarm just now, and the siren of the fire truck in the distance was particularly piercing in the middle of the night. Alex didn't know what was going on with Ed, and now he had to take care of himself.

Within seconds of him jumping from the second floor, several people rushed out of the main entrance of the first floor with a thin wet quilt, and Ed gasped for breath in embarrassment, water stains and dust from the burning air painted a surreal picture on his face.

"How did it catch fire? Did you forget to put out the fire in the kitchen at night?", Ed took off his coat, wiped his face clean, and finally wrapped his coat around his left hand. His hand was burned by the metal doorknob when he opened the bedroom door, which was not very serious.

Alex shook his head, "We didn't cook at night, it was all fast food ordered from outside. Alex ordered some food directly from a nearby restaurant, so there could be no accident in the kitchen. And it's the upper town of Ordo, and it's a community that's been developed by a very powerful developer.

There is a fire alarm bell in the kitchen, and if the glass tube in the alarm bell bursts due to the high temperature, the alarm bell will ring immediately. The fact that the alarm bell did not go off indicates that either there is a problem with the alarm bell itself, or that the fire may have been man-made.

Adults tend to have more mature thoughts, not because they will understand everything when they are older, but because they have experienced more, heard more, and accumulated enough experience.

The two brothers looked at each other and immediately realized that the fire was most likely related to the kidnappers who kidnapped Alex's daughter.

Their target may not be Alex's daughter, but Alex.

Ed pulled Alex aside and asked in a low voice, "Have you offended anyone lately?"

Because of the nature of Alex's work, he will come into contact with some big land developers, and these businessmen often invest millions of dollars, if their declaration documents are "stuck" by Alex, maybe they can really do such a thing. In this society, those big capitalists who are worth a lot of money are either from aristocratic backgrounds and are already very rich. Either they were born in the wrong way, and quickly completed the initial accumulation through bloody means.

It's not that there are no normal legitimate businessmen, it's just that this kind of people are a minority after all, just like a very famous big capitalist in the empire, who is kind and charitable, and has been interviewed many times. He always repeats his resume, giving the general public a very positive feeling, and is known as the first generation of beneficiaries of the imperial dream.

He started out as a farmer and made a living growing pumpkins, which he often talked about at tea parties or when he was invited to talk to students about his entrepreneurial experience – I was a pumpkin seller.

He ignores how he went from a pumpkin farmer to a famous big capitalist in the empire, because that history is not easy to tell.

Perhaps people in his time will remember that there was a gang called Pumpkin Paradise .......

Alex frowned as he recalled the work during this time, and he finally shook his head, "The power to approve all documents is in the hands of the governor, and I haven't stabbed anyone in the back, not because of these things." ”

At the same time, Alex also put forward his own opinion, "Could it be that the lawyer named Kevin did it? We have only had conflicts with him during this time! Vivien has a man named Dover next to him, who used to gang up on Turner's side, and then somehow got rich, did he help Kevin?"

"Is this possible......", Ed suddenly closed his mouth as a firefighter walked towards them.

"Gentlemen, I'm very sorry, are there any of you left inside?", the firefighters need to make sure that everyone has escaped, and if so, they start extinguishing the fire. If not, they will have to arrange for someone to go in and search for the victims trapped in the fire – a large amount of water vapor will affect their vision.

Alex stretched out his hand and shook the fireman, "You guys came just in time, there's no one in there." ”

The firefighters were not very good at words, so they smiled and left, and the water jets had poured in through the cracked windows, and the fire was even more violent, and bursts of black smoke rolled out, and many residents came to watch the excitement around.

The two brothers looked at each other, Alex walked over to his wife, and Ed called his men and rode in the car to find Vivien. Whether or not it was done by the man named Dufo, he would not let this person go.

A scramp from the countryside...... Nothing more!

Standing in front of the window on the third floor, Du Lin looked at the ruined villa across the road in the community, the all-wooden house had been irreversibly damaged by the sudden alternation of hot and cold, the fire in the house had been extinguished, but the house had also tilted slightly, and with an unpleasant twisting sound, one side had collapsed. The onlookers retreated some distance, and he observed several people leaving in the three cars.

Dover stood behind Durin, a dark red bright spot in the faint light suddenly turned red, and quickly faded away, "Your method is quite effective, now it's my turn?"

With Durin kidnapping Alex's daughter and getting Ed out of the military district, and then separating them with a fire, now is the best time to do it. Doolin doesn't know where Ed went, he thinks it's very likely that Ed will go to the hospital to find Kevin, and if Kevin is not suspected at this time, then the two brothers are a mentally handicapped duo. So Kevin has been transferred, and Ed will only pounce if he goes.

He nodded, and commanded, "Do it neatly, you can try to give him a decent death, after all, he is Vivien's brother." ”

Du Fo didn't answer, laughed twice, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Alex looked at the fire where the fire had been extinguished, and asked these firefighters to get out of his vault, which contained many important documents and some valuables, and it didn't matter if he burned anything else, the key was the contents of the safe, and some of them could not be problematic.

Over the years, sitting in the position of the Imperial Land Resources Management Office, Alex has also received some benefits, in order to avoid forgetting who gave him gifts and who was disrespectful to himself in the future, he specially recorded all this in a small notebook.

Sometimes newspapers will expose some corrupt officials and detonate their "ledgers", and many people don't know what kind of emotions to use to face the "ledgers" left by these corrupt officials, in fact, they just have no actual experience and experience. Some people send money but don't ask you to do anything, and if you forget it in the future, it will most likely be a nuisance. Or if there are three or five people in a day to give gifts, and the things given are different, it is certainly impossible to open all the things and show them to the corrupt officials who collect them one by one.

There will also be problems in case you mistake who sent what later.

So at this time, they need a small notebook to record when they received whose things and what needs the other party has, which is a compulsory course for corrupt people!

With the help of firefighters, his safe was finally found from the rubble and dragged out. He thanked the firefighters again and again, told his wife to keep an eye on the safe, and then prepared to call someone to have a truck deliver the safe to another house.

As the child of His Excellency the Governor, a descendant of a great nobleman, he had great power, and it was natural that he could not have only one house, and at this moment, a fireman came up to him.

One thing all politicians can do is a hypocritical smirk, he said thank you again, and then quietly looked at the firefighter in the firefighter helmet and firefighting suit.

"I don't know what to say, I found something behind your house!", the firefighter gestured, which made Alex even more confused.

"What is it?"

"I can't say it, you can come and take a look and understand. ”

Alex glanced at the late police car, nodded, and followed the firefighter to the back of the rubble, where he pointed to the very neatly trimmed bush and said, "You see? There's a box here." ”

"Box?", Alex was a little puzzled, the light was very dark at night, he only saw a dark bush, there was no box, he craned his neck to get closer, a cold light flashed from under his eyelids, and then he heard a strange dialogue.

"Mr. Doolin asked me to say hello to you and wish you a pleasant trip!"
