Chapter 554
It was more serious than they thought.
When Charles and Chandler drove to the gate of the Hopkins family, they found the whole Hopkins family was as bright as day in 1:30 a.m.. The main buildings were brightly lit, and all the garden and path lights were bright.
It was a quiet night, and the bright light in the whole yard did not make it lively. Instead, there was a feeling of chaos.
There were three gates outside the high wall of the Hopkins family, all of which were now closed.
“… Sorry, you can’t go in now.”
The two guards at the east gate looked serious and they were talking to the plainclothes policemen.
The policemen showed their ID. “The director has ordered that we should not disturb Senior Mr. Hopkins in the middle of the night. We just want to communicate with butlers of the Hopkins family. Please cooperate with our investigation…”
Chandler frowned and got out of the car. “What happened?”
It can’t be a good thing for the police to come at night.
Charles was worried and anxious all the way here. He made a dozen calls but no one answered. He ran two red lights and finally arrived. But these people blocked the way. He was even angrier and shouted.
“Are you guys out of your mind? What are you doing here? Kids are missing. Why are you calling the police? Can they find the kids?”
These words surprised the plainclothes policemen, they asked, “Kids are missing?”
“Are there kids missing in the Hopkins family?”
With years of professional sensitivity, the policemen looked up and observed. On a dark and quiet night, the entire Hopkins family was brightly lit, and some panicked voices could be heard. Obviously, something else happened this night.
Charles was in a daze for a second and came back to his composure. Hearing their rhetorical question, he realized that Christina had not called the police about the twins’ missing.
He didn’t know what to say for a moment but blame himself for saying too much.
“Why did you come to the Hopkins family in the middle of the night?”
Chandler was calm. He took a step forward and asked without answering the question.
“Who are you?”
The plainclothes policemen looked at Charles and Chandler vigilantly. It was strange to come to the Hopkins family in the middle of the night.
The guards of the Hopkins family explained… “They are good friends of Mr. Hopkins.”
Since even the guards said so, the plainclothes policemen did not interrogate them in detail. After all, rich people were not easy to deal with.
“Ms. Hopkins fell from the rooftop on the 9th floor of the hospital at noon today. After emergency treatment, the doctor has announced that she is in a vegetative state. We are mainly investigating whether there is any human factor in Ms. Hopkins’ falling?”
The plainclothes policemen briefly explained the situation and changed the subject. “You just said that the kids were missing. If it was real, I hope you don’t hide it in case of causing irreparable consequences like Mrs. Hopkins.”
Ms. Hopkins fell off the building?
Charles and Chandler looked at each other in shock.
They didn’t like that arrogant Ms. Hopkins, but why did she go to the rooftop on the 9th floor of the hospital? The rooftop was usually locked.
As far as they knew, some things had happened inside the IP&G Group recently. It was the aunts of the Hopkins family who were plotting against each other. Ms. Hopkins had always been the most complacent and had a lot of shareholders supporting her. Recently, she had been busy with the Group and she was not sick. Why could she appear on the hospital rooftop?
Suicide? People like Ms. Hopkins who cherished her life would never commit suicide.
“… How’s the investigation going?” Chandler asked.
“The case is still under investigation. Sorry.”
The plainclothes policeman was very vigilant and didn’t want to say too much.
Chandler didn’t ask anymore. It seemed that Ms. Hopkins was led to the hospital rooftop by someone on purpose and then pushed down the roof…
The plot was a little familiar, and Chandler’s mind went cold. He couldn’t help but think of Crystal being pushed down the stairs in the hospital and having a miscarriage.
Charles was more anxious about the twins. He asked the guard to communicate with the butler. Then Charles and Chandler were sent in.
The plainclothes policemen were shut out, and they were a little angry. “I hope you can cooperate with our investigation. Ms. Hopkins’ incident is likely to be a vicious one. If we can’t find out the truth as soon as possible. more people will get hurt…”
“This is a private residence. If you don’t have a search warrant, please leave immediately.”
The guards’ attitude was very firm and it seemed that they had no worry to offend them.
Without a search warrant, they could not barge in. Morning Hillside Villa had always been a restricted area under their jurisdiction. This time, they wanted to go in and see by the case of Mr. Hopkins. Considering it was the middle of the night, they discussed coming back tomorrow in case of being sued by the Hopkins family’s lawyers.
“Something big seems to have happened in the Hopkins family?”
The plainclothes policemen were a little unwilling. They looked over the brightly lit buildings in Hopkins family by the binoculars in the car.
“The servants seem to be in a panic. The people in rooms are lined up for questioning. The others are looking for something with flashlights…”
As the plainclothes policemen guessed, the Hopkins family was in a mess, and the servants looked anxious.
Some were in a hurry to find the twins, some were taken to their rooms for questioning, and 8 male servants were sitting in the surveillance room, replaying the video of every corner of the Hopkins family.
“Are the twins really missing?”
It was the first time Charles had seen such a chaotic Hopkins family. He went straight to the Eastern Garden, “Where’s Christina?”
Nanny fang, the butler of Eastern Garden, was hurrying back and forth to give orders to the servants. There was a little joy and hope in her heart when she ran into Charles. She stepped forward. “Mr. Shepherd, please help us. The twins suddenly disappeared. We locked down the Hopkins family and are looking for them.”
Charles and Patrick had a good relationship, and the two families had been friends for generations. Now that Young Master Hopkins was not at home, Charles was in charge to help.
“Where is Christina now?”
Charles was also very anxious. He looked around the Eastern Garden but still can’t find Christina. The Hopkins family yard was too large.
“Our Junior Mrs. Hopkins is in Western Garden now.”
“Western Garden?” Charles scolded irritably. “Isn’t that Ms. Hopkins and Brianna’s place? This is not the time to deal with that. The police will investigate Ms. Hopkins’ case. It’s none of her business. The most important thing
now is to find the twins. What’s on her mind!”
Nanny Faang led Charles and Chandler to Western Garden and explained,”Junior Mrs. Hopkins is in Miss Brianna’s
room.”
“Did she mess with Brianna again?” Charles’s face darkened. “Can Brianna know where the twins are? Is Christina out of her mind?”
“… What if some irreparable consequences happened to the twins, just as the police said!”
Chandler had been silent since he entered the Hopkins family. He observed everyone carefully.
Brianna?
When Christina spoke to him, she said, “I told you, Brianna lied. I told you, Brianna wanted Crystal to miscarry..”
Christina suspected that the twins were missing because of Brianna?
This is a very absurd idea.
“Brianna, where are the twins?” That was what Christina thought. She asked fiercely.
In Brianna’s room in Western Garden, all the lights in the room were turned on. The bright lights made people feel a little dizzy and dazzling.
“Where did you hide my sons?”
Christina looked very pale. She stood up straight and looked down at Brianna, who was huddled on the floor, kept crying.
“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, calm down.” The butler in Western Garden could not watch it and comforted her.
Christina bent down and grabbed Brianna’s shoulders with both hands. She lifted her thin body up and looked straight at her with burning eyes.
“Brianna, do you still have any humanity? Senior Mr. Hopkins treats you so well, and the Hopkins family takes care of you so well. Why did you do so many heartless things… Listen, you dare to hurt my kids. I don’t care who you are, want your blood to pay for it!”
Brianna opened her eyes wide and looked at her in horror, Her tears could not stop running and she cried even more helplessly and pitifully,
Charles came over and grabbed her, “Christina, what’s wrong with you?”
Christina suddenly threw his hands away. She was so furious that she didn’t want to explain anything. She turned around and walked out.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Charles followed her.
Christina ran to the nursery. Nanny Faang said that the twins had disappeared in the room. She rummaged through the small bed, the toys, their clothes, and sheets anxiously…
Seeing that Christina was behaving so weird nanny Faang was worried and followed her. “Junior Ms. Hopkins, what are you looking for? They were in this room and we had checked it several times.”
Christina was still pulling the clothes and sheets on the small bed with both hands. It was only when she saw dark and shiny cat hair on the soft white pillow that she breathed a sigh of relief.
“… Earl should be with the twins.”
Nanny Faang became dazed. Earl? That black cat.
