Then, he personally opened the door for Claire: "Please get in the car, it should be a pleasant thing to have a company on the road." ”

They didn't notice that in the unseen corner, a stocky figure was peeking in this direction, staring at them as they drove away.

Yun Qi, who saw the scene just now, jokingly said to Tie Feng: "You should learn from him well, keep an eye on Leon, and don't be abducted." ”

Tie Feng pouted and said, "I'm not that nymphomaniac, who has nothing to do to kidnap a big man." Helena, I'm more worried about him. You can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people. As Leon said, the Phantoms suffered a big loss, and I swallowed this breath when I didn't believe them. ”

Tie Feng remembered what he had encountered in reality, that is, because he refused to fake and fight fake boxing, the mastermind behind the scenes suffered a big loss, and then pressed step by step, forcing his family to a dead end.

Yun Qi said: "Although Sark is not a good type, but he is not the kind of person who will repay him, as an individual, he may be willful, but as the captain, he will never want to make a mortal enmity with me without interests." ”

"That's the case, then I'm much more relieved." Tie Feng was still obedient to Yun Qi's words.

Just as the two of them left side by side, Yun Qi suddenly felt a sense of ominousness, and felt as if something was missing in his heart.

……

The car drove very fast, perhaps because of the impact of the airport incident, the American people were obediently hiding at home, waiting for the crisis to be resolved, so there were very few vehicles on the road.

After about 20 minutes of driving, I stopped in front of Curtis's vacation home.

Pulling the car door, Helena secretly rejoiced in her heart: fortunately, the wooden house was not burned down by a fire as in the original plot.

This is a typical American-style home, called a house in English. Because the United States is a country with "vast land and vast resources, vast land and sparsely populated" in the true sense, casually walk into an American unit house. For Chinese who are accustomed to crowds, there will be a sense of spaciousness.

It is precisely because of the vast land and sparsely populated land that the labor cost in the United States is very expensive, so it is rare to see houses made of bricks and stones in ordinary people's houses. They are more accustomed to using inexpensive and high-quality wood plywood as the main material. While it is light and inexpensive, it is extremely susceptible to fire.

The number of fires in the United States has been recorded in the millions. Oddly enough, though. Perhaps because they are often eroded by fires, the American people have no experience in preventing and escaping fires, so the number of deaths due to fires is not high.

Angela couldn't bear to wake up Greg who was sleeping in the back seat, and Helena also felt that having an outsider by her side would be more conducive to her follow-up, so they tacitly didn't disturb Greg's sweet dreams.

The door of the American-style HOS house is simply a "gentleman but not villain" ornament, three seconds after Angela knocked on the door to no avail. Helena unceremoniously kicked the wooden door away.

"Wait, we don't have a search warrant!" Angela, who is accustomed to following legal procedures, protested.

As an American-born Helena, she naturally knows what these American police officers think, and this kind of trespassing on residents without a search warrant, even if they find evidence that can accuse the resident of a crime, it will be considered invalid by the judge (refer to the Simpson murder case, obviously found evidence of murder, but because it was in a place other than the search warrant stipulates). The murder weapon with the blood stains of the victim was found, and it was treated as invalid evidence. The bizarre case of the final acquittal).

However, Helena didn't want to testify against Curtis, she had another purpose, so she found a perfunctory excuse: "You are Curtis's sister, we are not an illegal trespasser in the house." ”

Although Angela thinks this excuse is very lame, she also knows the truth of "extraordinary times, extraordinary treatment". So, I didn't insist on it anymore.

It's just a holiday home, and it's very clean, with neat furnishings and stylish decorations that reflect the essence of this family. and the pursuit of a high quality of life. One can imagine what an enviable family it was before the death of the hostess.

The two searched for a long time, but found nothing valuable.

"Hasn't Curtis been here in a long time?" Angela's idea was based on the furnishings, which were completely overlapped with the images in her memory, and did not at all look like the residence of a single man.

"No, Curtis must have been here and stayed here for a while." Helena denied Angela's speculation.

"How?"

"Look at the furniture here, it's spotless, it can't be an empty house that hasn't been inhabited for a long time." Helena spoke out about her findings, and Angela quickly got a nod.

From the maintenance of this house, it can be seen that Curtis's nostalgia for the house, and from the other side, it can also be seen that the status of home in Curtis's mind.

Just when the search was fruitless, Angela was caught by something.

It was a brand new frame, but inside it was a slightly old photo, and the two matched to give people a feeling of incompatibility.

Seeing Angela pick up the picture frame very carefully, Helena naturally looked at it.

This is a very ordinary family photo, there are four people in total, it can be seen that the material of this photo is a film photo that has long been eliminated, the photo is well maintained, but it still can't withstand the erosion of the years, take a closer look, you will find that there are still a little yellow-black marks on the photo.

It seems that it has been at least seven or eight years.

Looking at Angela, who was immersed in memories of the past, Helena asked, "Are you in there too?" ”

Lined up first on the left hand side of the photograph is a young girl wearing a white shirt, apparently taken in the middle of summer.

Angela nodded: "That was the last time I saw them, and not long after that, they arrived in Raccoon City because of the company's scheduling. ”

The company in Angela's mouth is naturally the well-known umbrella - Ambrera Company, and Curtis was a researcher at Ambrera. In fact, the entire Raccoon City is under the control of Ambrera, and most of the people in the city are inextricably linked to Ambrera.

Angela in the photo is still a little girlish shy, at that time, she was still a college student, and the beautiful woman standing next to her, needless to say, knew that it was Curtis's wife, and in the center was an eight or nine-year-old daughter, naturally Curtis's beloved daughter.

is a good family, and now there are only two brothers and sisters left, and they are still on opposite and opposing paths, which can be described as fate.

"Put it away, as a keepsake." Helena said.

Angela shook her head: "No, maybe this is Curtis's only remaining family photo, I can't take it, it belongs to Curtis." ”

Angela couldn't bear to take what might be Curtis's last photo and put it back in its place.

However, just as she was about to put down the photo, she noticed a bright silver metal locket on the table, which had been placed behind the photo, so she didn't notice it.

It was a silver lighter with delicate patterns on it, which was a little different from the zippo sold on the market.

Angela walked over the lighter, and a line was engraved on it: To my dear brother, signed by Angela. Miller.

"It was a birthday present from Curtis seven years ago, and I didn't think he would still have it."

"Show me." Helena, after Angela had seen enough, took the lighter, and before she could pay attention to the line of inscriptions, she was prompted by heraldry:

You came into contact with Angela. Miller's birthday gift, for Curtis, is second only to the photograph in value. 】

[Evaluation: Keep it well, you will have unexpected surprises.] 】

Helena's heart moved, could this be an important prop to start the follow-up plot? But she immediately realized one thing: since the value of lighters is second only to photographs, doesn't that mean that photographs are more valuable?

Thinking of this, when Angela turned around, she put both things into the coat of arms.
