Melissa was watching TV, and she didn't notice that there were already some uninvited guests in the villa.

Oak Bay's community services company has stood the test of time over the years and has earned the trust of all residents, even if some residents forget to lock their doors when they leave.

Melissa was similarly lax, she had lived here without a single accident in the past two years, and although Durin didn't care about them, she paid a lot of money every month.

There wasn't much money, which was for Durin himself, but it was enough for them to live a good life, and even if they squandered it from time to time, it wouldn't make the rest of the day embarrassing.

Sometimes...... , No, it should be said that most of the time she felt that she had done a very stupid thing, and what was even more stupid was that she gave birth to the child after she became pregnant, and she should listen to her mother and take the child away.

But at that time, she was not mature enough, and she always thought that her parents would always consider things from their own point of view, ignoring their own feelings as the person concerned, so that they might just oppose her mother's suggestion for the sake of opposition, and finally gave birth to the child.

Now, she regrets it, and after a brief period of passion and impulse, she began to realize that some things can last long, but some things don't.

The one-sided emotional outburst with Doolin stems from the increased sense of security that Doolin provides her, as a female writer wrote in her book, that women need security more than any other need.

Even for girls like Suri who worship money, their worship of money actually comes from the lack and need for security, but they have a clearer understanding of the security they need, and they understand that money can give them what they need, so they worship money.

Now that everything had calmed down, the leisurely comfort of life and the ever-increasing amount of money in the bank had given Melissa the financial freedom that most people at her age could not get, and the security that came with it.

There is nothing in this world that can have the power of peace of mind more than money, no matter what a person's personality is, what kind of things he has experienced in the past, whether he is hesitant or not now, as long as he is given a sum of money, a large sum of money that is enough for him to squander for a lifetime, he will become full of security.

In fact, the lack of security often comes from the helplessness and incompetence of their own fate, the big capitalists, the powerful, and so on at the top of society will never lack a sense of security, because they can control their own destiny to the greatest extent, but the bottom of the society cannot.

We always hear that some people commit suicide due to depression for one reason or another, but who has heard of those who are really in power, the big capitalists, who are depressed?

They can't be happy even if they don't have time to be happy, how can they have so much anxiety?

The only thing that can reassure ordinary people is money, except for the power they can't get.

Playing with her hair, Melissa, who laughs out loud from time to time, puts all her attention on the TV as being criticized by some celebrities for its lack of content and full of empty pleasures.

The child slept in the crib next to her, and the child looked very cute, and her black hair filled her with a certain sense of mystery.

Just when the protagonist of the TV series fell and lay on the shit, making Melissa laugh and almost crying, the sound of something falling on the floor suddenly came from the living room downstairs.

She looked at the dark corridor outside the half-hidden door, and was stunned for some reason, and she shivered with a cool breeze.

The crisp sound of something hitting the ground lingered in her ears, and she slowly stood up and walked to the bedroom door.

She was the only one in the villa, and there were no servants or servants who lived here at night, but during the day there would be two servants who were experienced in raising children to help Melissa take care of her and Doolin's children.

She still needs to further her education and learn more knowledge, which is Natiya's advice to her, no matter what happens, at least she will have a better education and knowledge reserve, and it will be easier for her to gain a foothold in society in the future.

The Royal Academy was unable to go, so she changed schools, and under some legal operations, Melissa changed her name to study full-time finance at Imperial University.

At this time, she did not realize that the danger was coming, because Oak Bay was so safe, so safe that there has not been a single vicious case in the nearly ten years since the project was developed, including burglary and ordinary theft.

Not many residents feel that someone can break through the security guards and enter the room to hurt themselves.

She walked out of the room, glanced at the dimly lit downstairs hall, reached for the switch on the wall, and the moment the light came on, a square towel sprinkled with grimace mushroom extract pressed tightly against her mouth and nose.

The strength of the struggle lasted less than ten seconds before it was completely over, and Melissa was sitting on the floor of the hallway like a muddy mud as if someone had been stripped of her bones, with an eerie smile on her face.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the electric maintenance truck left the Oak Bay villa, no one complained, no one called the police, and everything was safe and calm as usual.

The next morning, the two servants, who had come to take care of the children, had not waited for Melissa for a long time, so they made a phone call to the superior management company.

The servants who can enter the Oak Bay villas for domestic service are not the kind of cheap temporary maids who are thirty to fifty an hour old, they all have strict assessment standards and clean family backgrounds, have received the most formal training, and there will be a set of standard response plans and procedures for any emergency.

The management company then called the emergency contact, and the phone went around and around into Durin's hand, and he calmly listened to Nadia talk about her findings, and after comforting the great western butler for a few words, he asked him to go to Oak Bay to check it out.

He wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't even have a little bit to say...... , it's not very easy to describe that feeling, it's like doing a very proud thing but holding back not to show it.

Prior to Natia's call, the person in charge of monitoring Paula, Bowers' duty secretary, had returned with the news that Paula had been taken away by two men claiming to be senior agents of the Bureau of Investigation.

Of course, Doolin's men followed these people all the time, and Paula was eventually taken to a manor in the new town.

The new city is a new area expanded by the imperial capital this time, because the new district is actually a suburb of the imperial capital in the past, and there are very many private estates and villas, so the expansion of the new area is actually much larger than people think.

If it is expanded, it will purely make the real estate of the rich people in the suburbs more valuable, and the people will have opinions, so this expansion will have a larger base for previous expansions, and it will be much larger.

At present, the new area is still relatively empty, and it is not so difficult to track, and the subordinates on the side of the god are all locals, so it is easy to find the other party's lair.

But he can't move now, Durin doesn't plan to rescue these two women, in this world, no matter how evil and dark a person's heart is, as long as he wants to be accepted by this society, he must necessarily need to cater to this society, and he must show his pity and sympathy for women, children and the weak, and show hatred for the perpetrator in any sense.

This has nothing to do with position, but is entirely an expression of the will needs of society as a whole.

Portraying himself as a weak person has always been Doolin's policy, and many people have criticized him openly or implicitly, but this thing just works, especially the bottom of society is very much in this way.

His personality and personal attributes are too suitable for the gameplay of "Killed", which also makes him have to make this ** out again and again.

Politics is not showbiz, and there is no need to constantly come up with those fresh and unverified things to win the attention and attention of the people.

If the movie fails, it can come again, whether it is an investor or a movie star, this is just an insignificant failure in their lives, and it is a new day to cross the past.

But in the political struggle, as long as you lose once, it means that it is difficult to turn over, and the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo will never have mercy on those losers, even if these losers are finally swallowed into the stomach by the strong and pulled out, the plants will not let go of the opportunity to deprive the loser of the last trace of nourishment to nourish themselves.

After Durin had arranged everything, he began to wait quietly for the time to come.

On the other side, Paula sits in a room that is clearly not quite quite right, waiting for something, and she is much calmer than the girl next door who is so panicked that she cries, which may have something to do with her daily routine.

She's always been exposed to some important political figures, as well as the brainwashing of some conspiracy theorists, and of course, it's more likely that she knows how to deal with those.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the door opened, and to be honest, this was not an ordinary room, whether it was the lavish decoration or the kind of large wooden frame of the lavish bed that would only appear in museums and aristocratic castles, or the artwork hanging on the surrounding walls, it was difficult to make people feel that they were under house arrest, more like an experience, to experience the life of the aristocracy.

Leaving the room with the visitor, and walking around the building, which could be said to be huge, until finally she entered a slightly more simple room, she saw the man sitting on the sofa, whom she knew, Holmes.

Holmes glanced back and gestured to the couch beside him, "I'm so sorry I brought you here this way, I just hope that the conversation between us won't be disturbed by more people, I need to talk to you, Miss Paula." ”

Paula gathered her slightly disheveled hair from her sideburns, walked to the spot Holmes pointed with her head down, and sat down, without saying a word.

Holmes didn't care about her silence, "Coffee, juice, flower tea, or some alcohol?", his voice was gentle, not aggressive, and not as sharp as a knife, which would make people feel good, "Maybe alcohol is better, it will make you relax and be less nervous." ”

Paula finally asked for juice, but she didn't dare to drink for fear that she would say the wrong thing if she drank too much.

After Paula took two sips of the cup after the juice came, Holmes asked a question, "Miss Paula, you may not know that there has been another piece of news circulating in the office building in the past two days......

Paula looked up in surprise, her eyes full of doubt, as if asking "what does it have to do with me" and "why me".

Holmes pursed his lips and smiled, "Some people pointed out that although Mr. Bowers is old, he has not yet developed mobility problems in his legs and feet, and it is unlikely that he will fall downstairs because of a stumble, maybe someone pushed him, or ......", Holmes stared at Paula with a smile, and Paula's heart stopped beating a beat when he said "someone pushed him".

Seeing Paula's face change slightly, Holmes continued, "Or because of Miss Paula's relationship, Mr. Bowers fell." ”

"We can't say for sure what caused the tragedy unless Mr. Bowers came to his senses, but as it stands, you're the eyewitness and the most suspect. ”

"Someone has proposed to open an investigation against you, and you know that such a thing has shaken the whole society at this important time, and both the New Party and the Cabinet hope to calm down the turmoil caused by this incident as soon as possible. ”

"There's no better way to appease society than to find a suitable 'suspect' who wants to see someone plead guilty and then be tried justice. ”

"Unless...... Can you tell me what really happened at the time, like someone did something we didn't know about......"

This is an obvious inducement to confess, and any evidence that violates the provisions on the collection and acquisition of evidence in court cannot be used as valid evidence, and even if such evidence is found to be true and valid in the subsequent collection process, it cannot be used as legally effective evidence in court to affect the final judgment and sentencing.

Many people know this, including the lawyers, but the lawyers still like to use these illegal evidence as a flashpoint in the courtroom, why?

This is because although these evidences cannot be effective evidence, they can guide public opinion in society.

Now that the final curtain is about to be drawn on the intra-party rivalry, Holmes doesn't need a stick to beat Durin to death to the point where he can't turn over, just a gentle push.

To promote the suspicion and dissatisfaction of public opinion against Doolin, and to promote the distrust of Doolin in the New Party Committee, naturally, they will vote for others.

As long as he misses this vote, even if Dorin's suspicion is removed one second after the voting deadline ends, Doolin will lose, not just this one, but for the rest of his life.

Just a few days, uncertain doubts, are enough!

Some of these methods are not very clean, and Holmes did not intend to use them before, but at this point, in the face of absolute power, no amount of decency and elegance can stop the rudeness and barbarism in his bones.

Human beings as animals are never civilized, civilization is only to hide the cruelty in their bones.
