Erben quickly lifted the floor tiles, and sure enough, he found that in addition to a bunch of keys in the dark compartment, the black notebook he used to keep his diary was gone, and even the location of the keys had been moved

Sure enough, there are thieves!

Although a diary is nothing, it records many of his thoughts, and there are also some things about Heda's family and the security department in it, which cannot be passed on casually!

He immediately rushed out and shouted to the butler, who hurried over, and before he could even put down his water-soaked sleeves, he asked, "What do you command?" ”

"Who has come into my room when I'm not home?!"

“… There is no one else but me, you and Lady Helen, and the little master's room, which I have always cleaned myself," the butler looked uneasily at the door behind him, "What's the matter?" ”

"I've lost something important," Alben suddenly remembered what Princess Stella had just said, "Male... Ahem, did the young lady who came here just now come in? ”

"No... No," the butler was a little confused, "she just stayed by the door to see what was going on in the room, and she didn't go in and you lost anything?" Shall I help you find it? ”

Alben continued to ask, "Did she do anything suspicious?" Have you ever left her alone? ”

"Absolutely not!" Seeing his serious expression, the housekeeper also became cautious, "She never left my sight until you came back, and the reason why she came to your room at that time was because she was not very satisfied with the utensils in the dining room, and asked me if there were better candlesticks and cups and plates in my house, and I told her that the best porcelain cups were in Madame's room, and the little master also had a beautiful set of golden tea sets there, and the candlesticks were in your place, and she asked me to open the room and take out the things, and I thought that she was sent by His Royal Highness the Second Highness, and I was with you... Ahem, I let her watch by the door, but I didn't open the little master's room, and I didn't let her enter any of the doors! ”

Is she really innocent?

Alben's brows tightened, and he suddenly remembered someone: "What about her maid?" Didn't you say that the squire was standing by the stairs and waiting? "It's less than fifty meters from his room!

The steward recalls the situation: "The land is true... I've been helping Miss Stella prepare for your late-night supper, but I haven't noticed the maid's situation, Miss Ground said she was out to see if you were back, but I didn't see her standing at the front door..."The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, "Is there something wrong with her?" Young master, are they thieves? ”

Alben did not answer, he went to the room where his mother and brother had gone and examined the door carefully, both rooms were well locked, and there was no sign of intrusion, and in order to be sure, he opened the door with his key, and found a bright oil lamp to illuminate the doorway, which was a meter square, and partly on the ground, and there was no mark on the thin dust, and then he was relieved

He exited the room and turned to the butler, "Don't spread this matter, don't tell anyone!" You go back and do your own work, don't let people go upstairs in the future."

“… The butler watched him go back to his room and close the door, his face turned red and white, and he secretly told himself not to make a decision next time

Alben sat heavily on the edge of the bed, already guessing the truth in his heart, it seemed that Princess Stella and the servant had worked together to steal his diary, but why was that? It's just a diary, and although there are a lot of secrets in it, who knows what's written in it until you look through it carefully? Why did Princess Stella risk stealing it?

He caught a glimpse of the low cabinet next to the bed, and found that the two drawers on it were tightly closed, and he was alert to the fact that the low cabinet was already decades old furniture, and the slide was a little uncomfortable, and he never closed it tightly, so as not to open it inconveniently

He immediately walked over and pulled the drawer open to inspect the contents, and although it didn't look the same as it had been in the morning, he quickly noticed signs of someone having been turned over

Although he did civilian work in the Intelligence Division of the Security Service, the officers were supposed to receive basic training, and he had never been absent that the maid was probably a freshman, and what she did couldn't hide from him

Annoyed, Alben immediately checked all the cabinet drawers in the room, and found that most of them had been turned over, and it was obvious that the maid was looking for something, and finally found the hidden compartment on the floor

This speculation made Alben shocked and angry, this room is the room of each generation of Hedda family heads, he only moved in after returning to Ito, the furnishings of the room have not changed, but his personal belongings have been replaced, that is to say, those extremely valuable family heirlooms are still kept, and they have been touched so easily, if they are stolen...

His eyebrows jumped suddenly, rushed to the door and locked it, then ran back to the head of the bed, gently pulled the brass gauze tent hook up, and then pulled it down, and the solid wood bed head quietly revealed a large hole two feet square, there was a lot of space in the hole, there were more than a dozen boxes of all sizes, and some drawings, documents and notebooks, which were the most valuable collections of the Heda family

This was a secret known only to the head of the house, and when he visited his father and brother for the last time in Balasig, his father passed on the title of head of the house to him, and also told him that the secret was only because the house was under lockdown, and he could not come back to check it until he returned to Ito and was given back to the mansion, and he opened the small secret room

He had just glanced at it and thrown it away, which was the past glory of the Hedda family, and he had vowed that he would not see the light of day until he had succeeded in reviving the family

Little by little, Alben examined the contents of the small chamber including the Duke of the Duke's Scepter badge inlaid with huge rubies and countless diamonds, several sets of priceless antique jewelry, two or three alchemy products with storage properties (all of which were opened by blood), three bottles of water in crystal bottles (the label on it showed that one bottle was poison, one was an antidote, and one was a wound), two unknown title deeds of a large estate, and the floor plans of several mansions in Ito Castle and in the territory (which contained secret passages and secret passages), A map of the cave where a huge amount of belongings were buried, and a list of people on a dozen or so dark lines of Heda's house

There was nothing missing, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally moved his gaze to a half-old black-leather notebook, the cover of which had his father's name written in gold seise ink, which was supposed to be the handwriting of his father's head of the family

Flipping through the notebook and seeing the familiar font inside, Alben couldn't help but have a sour nose, and could only barely hold back his tears, he was about to put the notebook back in its place, but he felt something fall from the notebook, and hurriedly picked it up and took a look, it turned out to be a sticky note, which read: "I don't know if this decision will bring the family to glory or ruin, if I fail, when my descendants see this notebook, they must learn a lesson seriously, don't choose the path I have walked"

Alben was a little surprised, he hadn't heard his father mention it, and hurriedly looked through the diary to find out what it said

At this glance, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became

This notebook was written twelve or thirteen years ago, and at first, it was just a daily routine

Gradually, the king's suppression of the old aristocracy, and the latter, was the deal with Prince Mario, whose father had provided Prince Mario with a lot of information about the interior of East, including the army, soldiers, equipment, officers, and weapon casting, etc., and also pulled many old nobles to participate

His father wrote down these people and their families one by one, and wrote: "The more things are done, the deeper the fear in my heart, but I can't turn back, I can only keep going, if I hesitate a little, I will be defeated immediately, however, in the face of these people, I can't believe them in my heart, if I am exposed in the future, even if they stand idly by, I will keep it secret, but if they choose to die, then, my descendants can know the true identity of the enemy from this list, do not blindly retaliate, and do not forgive easily." , as long as you catch them, hit them hard, don't let them have a chance to turn over"

Alben's heart was beating wildly, the names of the people on that list included his mother's maiden relatives, his grandmother's and grandmother's relatives, as well as the parents and relatives of his childhood friends, and some of them, who were now the supporters of the eldest prince and the second prince, if he hadn't seen this list with his own eyes, he would never believe that those who regarded each other as enemies had actually been accomplices!

The people and families on this list, although some of them have fallen in the past few years, the vast majority of them are still there, and some of them even occupy real high positions, not to mention that they don't know, these guys who are ostensibly loyal to the king have actually been with the Noga... More precisely, the Nogar people who were tempted by the Demon Domain... There have been treasonous deals!

Fortunately, he found out in time, otherwise, when those people unite, wouldn't East have become the palm of the Demon Domain?!

No way! He must hand over the notes to the Director and Mallory immediately!

Alben jerked up and rushed to the door, but as soon as he grasped the doorknob, he stepped back

If he really handed over the notebook, it would mean that his father's crimes would be exposed again, and even because there were many grievances against the king in the notebook, the situation might be worse than before, and when the time came, could he thin the trust of the king and the security department in him? Will their Heddah family still be able to turn over?

Moreover, there are so many people involved in the list, once it leaks out, the whole of Ito, no, the whole of East, will set off a monstrous storm! When the time comes, I don't know how many people will die, how many families will be scattered like their Heda family, and the glory of the past will come to naught in a blink of an eye...

Alben gritted his teeth and gripped the doorknob, never moving

~~=~~~=~~~~= I'm the dividing line of the transition scene ~~~=~=~===========

Stella sat in the carriage, looking at the black notebook in her hand with the help of the dim oil light, and let out a sneer

The waiter hurriedly asked, "How is it?" I'm not mistaken, right? They said it was a diary with a black cover."

"Make no mistake, this is indeed the head of the Hedda family's note," Stella unfolded the title page of the note

"As long as it's the handwriting of the head of the house," the maid breathed a sigh of relief, "There are so many things in that room, the time is too tight, I can't search carefully, fortunately I'm smart, otherwise the housekeeper will find out"

"You're doing a good job, are those people out of words? Hmph, that's troublesome, it's not our job in the first place! Stella snorted coldly, and then pointed to a certain page of her notebook and said to the maid, "Come and see here, 'Wasn't it a teenager who saved me back then?' Why did his ring appear on a maiden'? It's ridiculous, what's there to wonder about this kind of thing? And here, the agency sent secret agents to Shaonan to monitor the movements of the Shaonan people, but aren't we allies with Shaonan? Why do such a thing to allies? 'How naïve! That Alben looked so cold and proud, but in fact he was as stupid as a child! ”

"What does this guy who has been used to living a good life since he was a child know! I really don't understand why Pebi would want us to steal such people's diaries! The maid pursed her lips and looked out the window, "It seems to be around here, and Pobi once mentioned..."

The carriage stopped in front of a low bungalow, the ornate carriage and the tall horses contrasting sharply with the humble houses, and even though it was late at night, there were still nearby residents peeking out of the windows and looking curiously

Seeing this, Stella frowned and urged, "Go find someone!" Hand over the stuff and we'll go back right away! Cousin Jada will be suspicious later! ”

The waiter hurriedly got out of the car, trotted to the front of the house and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it after a long time, so he had to twist the doorknob, get in, and only came out after a while and said, "She seems to be looking for us, what should I do?" ”

"What a hassle!" A hint of impatience flashed in Stella's eyes, "Get in the car, let's rush back immediately!" ”

The carriage re-entered the main road, and when it approached the Noga Embassy, Stella told the coachman to slow down, and she and the maid kept an eye on both sides of the road to see if they could find a charming woman. Your Excellency the Duke has been waiting for you for a long time, please go back quickly! ”

Stella secretly called bad luck, answered with a sweet smile on her face, gave the maid a look, and obediently followed the visitor back to the embassy When she entered the embassy gate, she caught a glimpse of a purple corner of her clothes disappearing behind the big tree outside the door, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I missed it like this!

Jada sat in the middle of the hall and stared coldly at his cousin who entered the door: "Where did you go?" Why don't you say it?! ”

Stella jumped over with a smile and grabbed his arm: "A young lady I just met has such a cute personality!" We talked about jewelry at the ball, and she mentioned that she had a precious emerald necklace in her house, a special piece of the court during the time of Nicodimus the Great! I can't wait to ask for it, that's why I didn't tell you, I'm sorry, I don't dare anymore"

Jada stared at her with a blank face, staring at her in the hair, and after a while, he slowed down: "Really? The emerald jewelry of the time of Nicodimus the Great is indeed very precious, which lady's family collects? I'm going to ask tomorrow to see if they can cut their love, right? ”

Stella looked sorry: "I have already asked, but the young lady said that it is an ancestral treasure of their family, and it cannot be sold, no matter how much I ask, it is useless, and I was almost kicked out by her father!" I won't dare to go to her house next time."

"That's too much," Jada glanced nonchalantly at her waist, "What's that?" ”

Stella was stunned for a moment, looked down, and realized that it was the notebook that accidentally slipped out of the pocket on her cloak, and hurriedly reached out to cover it

"What is it? Show it to me," Jada raised his hand and grabbed his notebook
