Chapter 557

It was 2:23 am.

On her way to the Hopkins family, a large area of high buildings that face south shining in the quiet

night looked eerie.

She received in the afternoon the news that the club had been out of touch with Patrick, who had

taken his private plane with several other people to fly around a small island in the south Atlantic.

Though it was midnight at home, she had worked with the club to figure out how to get in touch

with Patrick.

However, “Well, bad things come in pairs.” LUCY muttered to herself. She had heard of the current

situation with amazement after her arrival at the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family.

"Was that old witch in paralysis now?”

The “Old witch” was obviously Ms. Hopkins. Though Christina didn’t mind it, it was impolite to talk

in this manner in front of Senior Mr. Hopkins.

She should speak ill of the one who had taken her misfortune.

Senior Mr. Hopkins and his butler, feeling offended, looked at her with a sullen face. They did not

understand why Christina had to ask this tall, thin, short-haired woman for help. What they knew

was that she was lacking in decency.

“What an ill-bred woman!”

Judy saw Senior Mr. Hopkins was irritated, thus throwing a scolding look at Christina.

There was no time for the talk of decency, and they would talk about Ms. Hopkins later, “My sons

are missing. Go find them first.”

Hearing it, LUCY stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, “Did Brianna do it?"

“Maybe, but she is drowning in tears and can't give me any useful information.”

“No clue from the surveillance video?”

"At least we have found nothing from the cameras in the nursery. As for others, we are checking

them now. It's a huge work.”

“You know nothing about it. I'll ask the club to help check them.”

Christina and LUCY talked and scurried to the monitor room in the main house, leaving the rest

behind. They were annoyed by being ignored, and especially their conversation. It seemed that they

had already concluded that

Brianna was guilty,

“Follow them up.”

Senior Mr. Hopkins said in a low voice. He didn't trust Lucy.

Charles and Chandler, who knew her very well, walked behind him, and Charles whispered to

reassure him, “Grandpa, Lucy works for Patrick. She is a strong woman.”.

“Is Christina so powerful now?”

He did not look back but walked steadily towards the main house with his walking stick.

"We don't know why they became so intimate,” Charles admitted but speculated in his mind that it

was probably because they were of the same kind

It was rare to see someone get acquainted with Patrick's men. They were too arrogant to defy

Senior Mr. Hopkins sometimes.

“Look at here. Did you bring your brains to work? Didn't you notice the obvious shift of cameras,

you idiot?”

Lucy was scorning the workers responsible for checking the videos.

Christina brought her in, so the eight male workers could only bear it in silence.

Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned on the talent’ that his grandson Patrick had specially trained.

A total of four cameras were installed in the nursery. In the video, the two kids had been playing on

the bed until they disappeared. They just vanished.

“It is probably that someone hacked into the surveillance system and controlled the blind spots of

the cameras.”

It was not surprising that the servants of the Hopkins family did not notice the difference. The four

cameras had rotated at an ultra-slow speed to change the monitored area, thus changing the blind

spots.

The twins did not disappear all of a sudden but were taken away by following the changing blind

spots

“This model of camera can't be steered by remote control.” Lucy meditated. “Were they controlled

by extra devices? What could it be that can enable the accurate movements of the cameras and be

installed unnoticeably?”

She could not think it out for the time being.

At least, it was true that the twins had been taken away deliberately.

Senior Mr. Hopkins stood outside the door while Charles and Chandler went inside out of curiosity.

They also saw that the cameras in the nursery moved extremely slowly to change the blind spots

after Lucy reminded them.

Within 15 minutes, she had made things clearer. They were a little relieved, believing that they

would find the kids

soon.

Senior Mr. Hopkins changed his attitude towards Lucy.

He gave an order to the butler that all people should cooperate with Lucy.

20 minutes later, LUCY, who was sitting in the main seat of the surveillance room, looked grimmer.

As she was phoning members of the club, she cursed, “What the shit are you talking about? Holes at

the corner of the wall? Do you think the house of the Hopkins family is as shabby as yours? Do you

mean they climbed out on their own?”

“The boss's sons were only a year old. Do you think they were geniuses and could escape so many

cameras on their own? There must be someone luring them into doing so. You idiot! Check the

cameras outside the wall. Someone must have taken them away.”

Lucy's words set other people's nerves on edge.

The Hopkins family continued to search inside the house but found nothing.

"What did they say?”

Christina walked up to her, her mind fully loaded, and asked. She trusted her and intended not to

disturb her, but the phone call made her restless.

“I don't know.”

Her answer was strange. Something confused her, and she was looking for an answer.

“What does “I don’t know’ mean?”

Infuriated by her attitude, Christina slapped the back of her head.

Lucy frowned in pain with a darkening face. She turned to glare at her. “Under what circumstances

will your son be happily led away by someone?” Her youngest son would burst into tears right away

if a stranger touched him

She had heard of how difficult it was to raise the twins in the Hopkins family,

“Brianna had held the babies once.” Christina recalled and muttered to herself.

“No, it wasn't Brianna who took your babies away. She would like to do things alone without too

much consideration. This time it was different.”

She was surprised to see that Lucy eliminated Brianna from the list of suspects within an hour.

“Really?”

"A person with schizophrenia sticks to her style of behavior.”

Lucy played a video clip and pointed to the screen. “At 6: 13 pm, Brianna did pass by the nursery.

From her expression, we could tell that there must have been something else in the nursery that

surprised her other than the babies and the servant who was usually there.”

Even if she hadn't done it, she must know something.

"Get these maids here and ask if they noticed anything unusual at that time.” She looked over to the

person behind her.

The maid came here soon. “There was nothing unusual at 6 o'clock. We just fed the young masters.

You know, they didn't like us to touch them, so they played on the bed by themselves for a while

and went to sleep.”

It was not a satisfying answer. There must be something wrong that these silly people didn’t notice.

According to the clip, Brianna was surprised by something on the upper left side of the room. Lucy

drew a big circle on the plan of the nursery with her fingers. “What was placed here at that time?

Everything, living or dead.”

“A unicorn plush toy bought by Senior Mr. Hopkins, Lego building blocks, a puzzle board, and a

large red tumbler from Mrs. Hopkins.” In other words, that corner was mainly for children’s toys.

Lucy was a little annoyed. “No, no, not these.”

How could these toys surprise her?

Christina thought for a moment. “Earl often squats on the head of the tumbler.” She had suddenly

pushed the tumbler several times, but Earl had reacted quickly and managed to handle her attack.

"What?" Lucy turned to look at her. “What's that?”

“A cat.”

She gave a simple description.

Only then did the memory come to the maid. “That's right. The black cat was also in the room. It

squatted on the top of the tumbler and did not move.”

“It's my sons’ new nanny, a black cat. Its name is Earl.”
