At this moment, Carmen Hughes had no idea that she had been murdered, and was still concentrating on leading the meeting.
Following Kidd, Sakaki arrived at the southeast corner of the first floor of the manor.
This place is just in the opposite direction of the library. Unlike other places, there are not many decorations. Only a gate made of pure steel stands.
"Is the treasury placed in a place like this?"
Sakaki said in surprise:
"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
“Looking at it from my professional perspective”
Kidd narrowed his eyes and flashed a bright light:
"The Hughes family was extremely confident in the vault they built and believed no one could conquer it anytime soon."
As he spoke, he pointed to the window next to the corridor:
"From the window here, you can directly see the situation of the gate on the first floor, if the FBI sends out snipers"
"Aren't thieves completely exposed to their crosshairs?"
"That makes sense."
Sakaki nodded.
There was a camera in the left corner above the gate. Kidd took out the fingerprint sticker he had prepared in advance and pressed it on the detector on the gate. Soon,
[Certification passed]
A cold, emotionless mechanized female voice sounded. After the fingerprint authentication was passed, the pure steel door opened to the inside.
at the same time
Inside the gate, the four security guards guarding the vault immediately stood up and shouted respectfully:
"Mr. Carmen!"
"Um."
Kidd waved his hand and took out the key:
"Open the door."
"yes!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the security guards inserted the key into the keyhole. After a click, the four people worked together to turn the gear on the door. The rusty gear groaned as it seemed overwhelmed.
With the combined efforts of 4 people
The vault slowly opened, and a faint musty smell hit your nostrils.
Four security guards stood by the door, looking intently at the door.
Kidd and Sakaki looked at each other and walked into the vault.
In the vault of the Hughes family, there are piles of ancient books, and some yellowed pages have been scattered everywhere, as crisp as pancakes.
This is the information that the Hughes family has worked hard to accumulate since its establishment.
If Sakaki takes any sword book, he can see the name of a certain celebrity written on it.
They range from famous celebrities and businessmen to national politicians and presidents.
The vault, which is only 4 to 50 square meters, contains everything and is filled with the stench of trading power, wealth and sex.
Sakaki doesn't like, or hates, looking through such records.
Every time he saw something like this, he would feel vomiting from the bottom of his heart, as if what was written on the paper was not words, but bloody bone marrow.
The security personnel outside were very puzzled that the master brought a maid into the vault.
Members of the Hughes family are very aware of the importance of the vault. In addition to their necessary gatekeepers,
No outsiders are allowed to approach.
But today, the patriarch of the Hughes family broke the rules himself.
The security guards didn't dare to say anything and simply pretended not to see it.
"Biographical Biography."
It was also the first time for Kidd to come inside the vault, and he was not very clear about the specific location of Amanda Hughes' biography.
Rather.
There is no order at all here, it's just chaos.
There was no way, there was too much information. The Hughes family would not allow others to get their hands on the information. It was too troublesome to clean it up themselves, so they simply ignored it.
Anyway
They also rarely need to use information.
In other words, the Hughes family's treasury is one of the umbrellas for their family's prosperity.
No matter whether the information inside is damaged or not, as long as the vault exists for one day, businessmen and politicians outside will be frightened and will not dare to disobey the Hughes family.
after many years
In the vault, a little thief entered for the first time.
No one expected that Kidd, a thief who specializes in stealing gems, would come to the United States and focus on information that was worthless to him.
After rummaging for a long time, Kidd dug out a dusty box from under the iron frame.
After brushing off the dust on it, he opened the box and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Found it!"
Sakaki Cheng, who was looking for information on the other side, immediately put down the tattered book in his hand and came to Kidd's side.
"Mr. Sakaki, look."
Kidd glanced at the security guard outside the door, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he whispered:
"This biography records the history of the Hughes family."
"It turns out that they had already established a foothold here in the 18th century."
"Shet! No wonder they are developing so fast. It turns out they were the beneficiaries of the War of Independence!"
The book records that between 1776 and 1783, 13 North American states won the War of Independence under the leadership of Washington, and successively formulated a series of laws, and the United States was officially born.
In the War of Independence, the shadow of the family that supported Washington was naturally indispensable.
When the United States was founded, the biggest beneficiary was the Hughes family.
They arranged for family members to enter politics and changed their appearance. They separated politics and business, and the main body of the family turned to secret development. On the surface, they promoted liberalism, but in fact they were still the top rulers and oligarchs in the United States.
but
During the later industrial revolution in the United States, the Hughes family, which had not yet multiplied to a large scale, really could not eat such a big cake as the United States, and many centuries-old families emerged.
After the Great Depression, in order to maintain ‘order’.
They came up with a bad idea.
On the basis of state legislation, an organization that can enforce laws nationwide—the FBI—was created.
On the surface, the FBI belongs to the Department of Justice, but who does the Department of Justice take orders from, and who do the top FBI officials take orders from?
The FBI at that time was comparable to Jin Yiwei.
The other centuries-old families looked at it and thought, this is not okay!
You have taken advantage of all the good things, what will we do in the future?
The Hughes family is not stupid. When they established the FBI, it happened to be during the war. Various centuries-old families were busy selling military industries and developing oil and other resource industries. By the time they reported that something was wrong, several years had passed.
At this time, the FBI has become the largest law enforcement agency in the United States.
But as the saying goes, no coincidence can never be written. Just when the relationship between centuries-old families was about to break down, Pearl Harbor was attacked.
The Pearl Harbor incident woke up centuries-old families who had been daydreaming in bed.
They realize.
Standing idly by is not a long-term solution, and your vision should not be limited to the land under your feet, but look to the world.
Ever since.
The centuries-old families have integrated the chaotic and chaotic intelligence agencies and are determined to create an organization that can compete with the FBI and interfere in other countries.
With their concerted efforts, the United States' first central intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA, was born.
This move can be described as a backstab, directly stabbing the Hughes family through.
You know, the Hughes family's industries are not only in the United States, but all over the world.
The CIA is responsible for investigating opponents who pose threats to the United States. Isn't it just them?
