Chapter 5 Now, I have the future in my hands
There are always some routines that have remained unchanged for 10,000 years on TV dramas.
If you just use it three or four times, five or six times, there is nothing to say, but with the frequency of more than a dozen, dozens, or hundreds of times, it is difficult for people not to complain-
One of the routines is that when the villains are plotting, they are always carelessly overheard by the key people, and then they are either completely exposed or provoked in vain.
Anyway, it will definitely cause a series of unnecessary turmoil.
And now, Firia didn't know that she had fallen into such a fate trajectory, she was being pushed step by step into a woven net by an invisible hand that could not be seen or touched.
She was born out of her own volition, but she didn't know it, and she just thought that all this was a choice made by her own will.
Firea didn't even think of this possibility, she didn't even know the usual routines of classic TV dramas.
The conversation between Cedric and the captain and head of the bodyguard team was quick and urgent, and it didn't last long, and in less than two minutes, the two ended the conversation, and then hurriedly separated and walked briskly.
Da Da Da ......
Da Da Da ......
Listening to the sound of the two footsteps moving down the hallway, Firea frowned.
Because of the distance from each other, the quality of the manor's construction is excellent, and the sound insulation performance is quite commendable.
So she didn't get to hear the whole conversation, and she didn't even know what they were talking about.
However, there are some key words that have been captured, such as "Soviet ruins", "Siberia", "the transportation of this batch of goods must be carried out quickly", and "insufficient recruitment......
However, there is a lack of key clues throughout the front and back -
In any case, even if Einstein comes back to life and Holmes rises from the coffin, it is impossible to conclude the whole thing based on this few words alone.
Naturally, it was even more impossible for Firia to do it.
It's just that instead of being frustrated, she still feels that she has caught the clue...... She had opened the Internet page before, but she didn't know what to type into the search bar, but now at least she had a clear keyword.
USSR?
Siberia?
This must be the direct location of their secrets, right? But why is that involved? Could it be that the butler Cedric and the head of Jonathan are actually ...... Spies from the United States sent by the Russian side?
Firia thought about it, but she didn't realize that her brain hole had reached a certain extent.
She was just struggling, because the area of Siberia was very large, and her geography was not very good, and she was not a specialist in this area, but although she could not remember the exact area number, she remembered that it was said to be equivalent to twenty French ......
This is more intuitive and clear than any statement of "how many tens of thousands of square kilometers" is to tell others what a vast land it is.
Therefore, just saying that a secret is hidden in France is crazy enough, after all, it is impossible to find it just by saying that it is in France without specifying where it is in France.
Not to mention the more cunning Siberia now, in such a large piece of land, who knows where the key is?
Even if such a filter as "USSR" is added, it is only a drop in the bucket and will not help.
Although Firia has grasped the clue, if she wants to get more accurate information, she can only follow this clue to investigate more deeply, but this is the case...... It can be dangerous, and it is also likely to alert the Butler of Cedric.
“……”
“……”
The girl thought for a long time in confusion, and then inhaled and exhaled vigorously for a long time, as if she was cheering herself up and strengthening her confidence.
Then, after quietly opening the door to make sure that there was no one outside, she crept back to her room.
Williams' condition could deteriorate at any time and he couldn't sleep, which is something that even the outside world knows.
So it was only natural for the family to live in this manor, after all, Alva was the first in line of succession...... As long as nothing goes wrong, removing that "first priority" is almost a sure thing.
Even the old man himself couldn't help it, no matter how reluctant he was.
As long as he doesn't want his hard-earned foundation to completely disappear, then even if he pinchs his nose, he has to find someone for himself to pass it on.
It's like choosing between a bad and a worse situation.
Because of Williams' mistake when he was young, he had no heirs, not even so-called illegitimate children. There was even a joke a long time ago, a joke full of gore -
At that time, the young and beautiful, model-turned-second wife on his face did not know that her husband was actually infertile. Maybe it's to better plan for family property and let yourself have a guarantee in the future.
Therefore, she actually ...... less than half a year after marriage Pregnant.
And then...... And then there is no more...... Williams seemed to be pinching his nose and smiling at the time to admit it, and he was ready to make a big wedding card and make a full effort on the surface.
It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and in less than a week, his wife had an extremely tragic car accident and died on the spot, saving even the effort to send to the hospital. It is said that the entire luxury car looks like it has been run over by a tank, and the woman in the car is completely inhuman......
Although Williams still doesn't have any heirs until so many years later, everyone basically understands what the reason is.
Firia was also very aware of this, and it was precisely because of this that she was wary of the old man, of the manor, not like her father, who was crazy about inheriting qualifications and burst out of his unparalleled enthusiasm for learning in middle age, nor like her mother, who was addicted to high society.
She was the only one who stayed awake...... At least that's what she thinks herself.
My father didn't have the energy to focus on anything else, and even if something unusual was going on in the manor, it would be hard for him to find out. The mother's attention could not be taken away from the self of the noble lady in the mirror, as if she had been intoxicated by the immense wealth and the world of the superior at her fingertips.
But during this time, Firia always felt that this kind of life was illusory and unreal, as if there was a strong sense of deviation from reality.
That's why she felt more and more that this manor was full of weirdness, and there were things wrong everywhere, even the housekeeper Cedric and others were very strange and suspicious...... Not just one or two people, but the entire estate.
The bodyguards and servants who can be seen on weekdays give her such feelings, even the old man who is said to be so sick that he is bedridden.
The girl even had a few experiences that were simply terrifying-
She couldn't sleep at night, and when she got up to drink water, she saw through the window that in the garden outside, the old man was moving alone or with the housekeeper Cedric and others. When you walk, you don't need to be supported at all.
Looking at it from a distance, it was as if they were in the prime of life disguised as an old man, and they didn't know what kind of cult ritual a large group of people were going to hold at night with a silent and expressionless face......
Anyway, Firia was frightened at that time, her mind was blank, and she had no intention of quietly going downstairs to follow the adventure.
Even now, she thinks that the idea of Butler Cedric and others may be using their family's identity to seek property was born at that time.
She didn't immediately think of "resurrection of the dead" or anything like that, but she thought that it was very likely that Williams had already had an accident, and perhaps it was the butler of Cedric who had concealed the news and let people continue to pretend that the old man was still alive......
It's just that his identity is destined that he can't directly seize the inheritance, and can only achieve his goal through indirect means, so-
Firia felt that her family had really been given such an opportunity because of this, and Steward Cedric wanted to achieve his goal of seizing the inheritance by controlling the family.
Coupled with all the abnormalities, oddities, and things that were wrong with her, she felt more and more as if her ideas were gradually becoming reality.
But Firia didn't have any evidence, even if her parents said it, it would definitely not be believed, and the two of them definitely didn't want to believe this kind of statement that would ruin their dreams.
Coupled with the fact that it might alert the butler of Cedric, she didn't say anything.
But now, it's always time to act.
……
……
"There is no ...... on the Internet"
Trying to hold her tablet, Firia searched the Internet for the keywords she had captured, but she had no clue at all, but the news pushed still aroused her interest.
At a glance at the title, it seems to say that there has been a new development in the recent uproar of Mt. Fuji, which is suspected to be about to erupt.
It seems that some special geomagnetic phenomenon and some other inexplicable factors are mixed together, and as a result, they affect electronic products such as clocks and watches or timekeeping tools.
As a result, a large number of areas have appeared similar to the "loss of time" in a strange phenomenon, ranging from one second to several minutes or even close to ten minutes, which is very magical and has become a hot topic on the Internet for a while.
Putting down the tablet, Firia thought slowly with a frown, a rough plan in her mind taking shape.
It was definitely a very reckless act to go directly to the more subtle information with a clear goal, she didn't think she would have that kind of ability and luck not to be discovered, but she could use it to her advantage.
That is their own legal identity, and the housekeeper of Cedric also has to rely on the identity of their family.
Just like her father, in fact, as long as the reason is good, there is an opportunity to get in touch with corporate affairs openly, and it will not easily arouse suspicion.
After thinking about it for a while, the girl lit up the tablet again and opened a certain communication software, and the interface on it was sent by her father not long ago.
He was complaining, hoping that his daughter would think about it and help him share the latest affairs or something.
This time without hesitation, her slender fingers danced rapidly, and Firia quickly edited the agreed message and pressed the confirmation button of "send".
……
……
Two days later.
In a city in the United States, in a dimly lit basement where I don't know the exact location.
Click!
Bang!
Greenton, who was sleeping in the warm and dry environment with the quilt in his arms, seemed to be in a daze in his sleep when he heard a loud sound from not far away of the rough push open of the iron door and the door slamming against the wall.
“……!!” He was suddenly frightened, and all his sleepiness disappeared, and he didn't want to get up at all, so he sat up from the bed and grabbed the pistol next to him.
"There is news, I found out that there is a "batch of goods" scheduled for three days...... It feels very suspicious, or it ends up pointing to the old guy's secret lab. ”
The ex-wife's voice suddenly made him stop all his movements, and turned into a confused face that he couldn't react to-
"What...... What the? ”
"Don't be stunned, get up and pack your things now, we're going to go to Chicago right now......"
Serena quickly walked into the basement, "I asked someone to help me fake my identity, and it just so happens that they are also recruiting all kinds of workers, we can sneak in." ”
