Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 14 Planning

   That is to say, if Veraker can hide from the rebel organization, it probably means that he can manipulate this force. At the same time, with this hole card, he can completely counter the Thomas family, using his identity as the leader of the rebel organization and the son of Carmine to achieve a balance and grab huge benefits.

   Basically, it can be understood that as long as Verac can do this, all previous plans and layouts can be shelved. Because of this alone, he can get everything he wants through the Thomas family. However, this does not mean that this is a very profitable method, because it will become more difficult for him to get out of the vortex. In addition, if he is discovered by the rebel organization, he will definitely be manipulated by the rebel organization and become a rebel organization to threaten the Thomas family. Tool of.

There are risks and opportunities, and the prerequisites for realizing this are quite difficult. At present, Verak is not sure that he can deceive the rebel organization. Therefore, it is a bit early to think about this. He chooses to put it aside for the time being and follow the established safe thinking continue to develop.

  However, in any case, it is still necessary to find out more information about Chris and the rebel organization.

   After all, although whether or not to completely fall into it remains to be studied, but it was in his original plan to maintain a certain contact with the rebel organization.

  Everything about the Thomas family is easy to talk about. He has been in contact with it for two months before, and he is familiar with everything that should be familiar, and he can handle it with ease. As for Chris's true identity and the existence of the rebel organization, he only found out about it before his death in his last life. It has only been two days since he was fully engaged, and he has never been in contact with it at all. Just a face-to-face meeting tonight made Verak feel extremely dangerous. If he had to say a few more words, Verak would definitely be discovered and used by the rebel organization as a tool to blackmail the Thomas family.

  If he wants to make a second contact with the rebel organization, Verak must put the search for Chris's information on the agenda.

  So he started to search Chris's room again, this time more carefully than last night. Verak tapped the floor, wall and other places with his knuckles lightly, trying to find the existence of the hidden compartment.

  After searching for half an hour, Verak actually found an abnormality in a place under the bed. There was a floor that sounded different from other places, as if it was empty underneath.

  Verak took out a match, wiped it under the bed, carefully observed the floor with the help of the firelight, and found that although the gaps in the floor were not obvious, they were still thicker than other places. He stuck the knife into the gap and pried it, and the floor loosened a bit. After the knife went a little deeper into the gap, Verak slowly pried up the floor with force. As expected, there was a hidden compartment that could hold a barrel of wine.

  Unfortunately, there is nothing in this dark grid.

  Villac was not disappointed because of this, he is good at discovering the two sides of things. Although the hidden compartment was empty, it was much better than finding nothing before. At the very least, this shows that Chris did hide the important information in his bedroom, and now it has disappeared. There is only one possibility, and that is that Carmine took it away before him.

   This naturally helped Verak rule out the two possibilities originally established. The thing must be on Carmine. Next, he only needs to find a way to start around Carmine and find out the information left by Chris.

   "I hope Carmine didn't destroy things." Verak muttered to himself.

  If Carmine destroyed the information, Veraker would not be able to use the rebel organization to deal with the Thomas family in order to achieve the ultimate goal of his trip to Lezein.

   It's almost twelve o'clock now.

  Verak had a bold idea, which was to sneak into Carmine's study.

  In his opinion, this moment is the best time. At twelve o'clock, everyone has gone to bed, and I will not be noticed if I go out quietly. In addition, I have been very respectful in the past two days, leaving the impression that Carmine, Fletcher and others dare not do anything disobedient, and they should not be wary of themselves.

  Verak deduced several times in his mind what to do after going out and what kind of emergencies he would face. To be on the safe side, he decided to wait another two hours until the night got darker before acting.

   Reinstalled the floor of the dark compartment under the bed, Verak turned off the light, and lay on the bed quietly waiting for the passage of time.

   Time passed quickly for Veraker, and two hours passed quickly while he was meditating. At two o'clock, he sat up from the bed, came to the door, carefully unscrewed the door knob, and opened the door.

  It’s so late, no one will come out, and each room has its own bathroom, so there’s no need to worry about them coming out to go to the bathroom.

  Verak poked his head out and glanced around, making sure that there was no one in the long and quiet corridor with faint lights, so he tiptoed to the first room next to the stairs.

   This is Carmine's study and office, where Carmine's work materials and other confidential things are kept. The one facing the study is the bedroom of Carmine and Meera.

  Verak took a deep breath, put his hand on the door **** and twisted it slowly, but unfortunately, the door **** stopped before he could twist much.

  The door is locked.

   This was also within Verak's expectation. Carmine's important materials are all in the study, and he even arranged the bedroom opposite the study. Of course, it can't be justified if it is not locked.

  However, Veraker was just trying today, with an unlikely expectation. Because he strictly followed Fletcher's orders in his last life, he never came out once, let alone entered any place other than Chris's room. It is not sure whether the study room will be locked at night.

   Fortunately, in his impression, the servant would enter the study at ten o'clock every morning to clean it. This shows that the servant will at least have the key to the study at ten o'clock every morning.

  After the matter of Colin, Carmine asked Veraker not to leave the Thomas family's mansion. He could use this time to better understand, find a way to steal the key, or re-engrave one.

   With his mind firmly in mind, Verak sneaked back to the bedroom.

  Having not slept well for the past few days, Verak was very sleepy. After washing up, he returned to the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

  July 18, Tuesday.

  Early in the morning, Fletcher came to wake Verak up. Verac forcibly dispelled the drowsiness, and began to face Fletcher who had become stricter.

  Fletcher was instructed by Carmine to teach Verak some etiquette in the bedroom, pretend to be various people, ask Verak tricky questions, and exercise Verak's adaptability to deal with emergencies.
