After Mary came out of the attic, she quickly went downstairs to the first floor. However, just as she was walking towards the restaurant, the mobile phone rang suddenly. It was Tom.After she got on the phone, Tom said in an almost exaggerated tone: "Mary, where are you now? Derek asked me to contact you, we have to do a vote together."

Surprised, Mary asked, "Derek asked you to contact me??"

"Yeah, I need a copywriter, but you know the point, everyone has work on their hands, so Derek asked me to come to you!" Tom said, "Well, wherever you are now, you'd better Hurry up and go!"

"Wait! What happened?" Mary asked, "You have to tell me, where are you going with me now, what is the interview? You have to understand that I need at least... 15 minutes to prepare for the interview!"

"Big news! The youngest son of Odyssey CEO Louis's youngest son Edward *Odyssey *blocked keyword*! The whistleblower said he was shot and killed." Tom said, "I guess the crime scene has been crowded by the media now! So, You hurry up! I'm on my way now."

"Wait, where am I going?!" Mary asked again helplessly, "Where is the crime scene?"

"Manhattan..." Tom didn't know what he was doing, and suddenly disconnected.

Mary shook her head speechlessly while holding the phone, but there was a huge wave in her heart, the youngest son of the CEO of Odyssey *blocked keyword*?She frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up, no, I can't call Zach!She rubbed her fingers on the screen a few times and started calling Tom back...

However, Tom's phone was busy and he couldn't get through at all.Mary hung up the phone immediately, thinking of Zach again, she bit her lip, opened the address book and dialed the number helplessly.

"I think you should have called too!" Zach answered the phone and said lightly on the other end.

Mary sighed and asked, "Are you okay, Zach?"

Zach hummed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, do you want to come for an interview?"

"I just got the news that the photographer has already passed by first, but the guy didn't tell me the address...he... hung up the phone, and then I couldn't make a call at all..." Before Mary could finish speaking, Zha Ke said, "Turn on the recording." She obediently turned on the phone's call recording function.

Zach spoke the address slowly, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Since the photographers have already come, why do you still come? I can give you the information and family interviews you need right now!"

Mary shook her head, suddenly realized that she was on the phone, and hurriedly said, "Zach, I'm a reporter!"

"I know, so, I already told you the address, didn't I?" Zach's tone was still light, and it sounded that there was no emotion. "Call in my name when you arrive."

"Okay, I get it!" Mary responded, then paused and said, "Zach, you, don't be too sad."

"Oh, no, I'm not sad." There was a sense of self-deprecation in Zach's words, "Okay, I have to deal with those policemen."

After talking with Zac, Mary frowned suspiciously. She knew that Edward, the youngest son of Odyssey president Louis, had always been unfriendly to Zach.After the young and taciturn Zac was picked up by Louis, he secretly came back to Fox to see her when he heard that Mary was adopted. At that time, Mary accidentally saw the bruises on his arms, and then realized that Zac's life was not what everyone imagined. Zach's "Food and Drink Spicy", a brother who is good at disguising and has excellent academic performance, is simply Zach's nightmare.

But why did she always feel that there was something wrong with Zach's tone and his emotions?Well, she can't continue to think about it.

Now, she has to go!

Manhattan, Edward's apartment.

When Mary arrived, the road in front of the apartment had been temporarily closed, and there were multiple roadblocks at the intersections on both ends of the road.At the intersection outside the roadblock, two live TV vehicles were parked.

After Odyssey President Louis was killed at the Stark dinner, his son suffered another accident. This is simply a bad year!There must be good people spreading "curse theory". Of course, as far as she is concerned, she doesn't want Zach to encounter any more bad luck.Thinking of this, Mary silently passed through the crowd standing across the street from the apartment watching the excitement, and walked towards the door of the apartment. At this moment, there was the sound of small propellers turning overhead. She looked up and saw two small drones The planes were circling around the apartment, and she recognized one of them, the colorful and flamboyant-looking one, which was Tom's Napoleon 1.

At this moment, the police cordoned off a small rectangular open space at the entrance of the apartment. Inside the line, there were five policemen standing scattered to maintain order. Outside the line were reporters from major media outlets in New York, holding long and short guns. The crowd was there, staring at the apartment firmly, not letting go of a little movement.

Mary's eyes flew past the crowd of reporters, and she frowned slightly. Where did Tom go?She took out her cell phone and called him.

"Hi! Mary, come up!" Tom said, there was only a slight noise in the background of his phone, which was consistent with what Mary heard at the moment, but the voice seemed far away from where he was calling now.

"You went in?" Mary said in surprise, holding her mobile phone, and looked up at the apartment building.

"Oh, of course...impossible!" Tom laughed. "I'm in the building opposite now, and besides, don't you see my Napoleon 1?"

"I see! Well, I understand what you mean, but can you come down now?" Mary watched the saucy drone fly towards the building opposite the apartment, looked away, and turned her head He looked again towards the door of Edward's apartment building.

"Okay, just wait for me!" Tom readily agreed, "I'll take another shot!"

"Wait! Tom!" Mary asked, remembering something, "Can your drone see the inside of the apartment now?"

"Of course!" Tom replied, and before Mary asked a question, he said quickly, "Edward Odyssey's apartment building is on the top floor, and I have to say, it's really a super luxurious apartment, you know? The exterior wall of this apartment...I mean, the four walls outside are made of floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It is conceivable...no matter where you are in the apartment, you can have a panoramic view of Manhattan. But it is a pity that the four sides of the glass are all gone. It's all broken!"

"Broken?" Mary looked up. From here, she could only see the side of the top floor facing the street. Because it was too high, it was impossible for the naked eye to see whether the glass was broken.She thought about it, and said, "Before I came... I saw newsletters sent by other media that only mentioned gunshots."

"Oh, don't look at the manuscripts of those self-proclaimed serious media people. Most of them just listen to a few rumors and immediately make a manuscript!" Tom's drone flew towards Edward's apartment again, "The apartment's Glass shattered like the Battle of New York, you know what I mean?"

Mary understood what Tom meant, and she sighed, and said, "The explosion, then?"

"Very likely!" Tom said uncertainly. "You know what I just photographed?"

"What?" Mary asked.

"It's very strange. Napoleon 1 photographed Edward lying in the bedroom on the west side, but his whole body..." One, silk, no, hang, Tom paused, "At this point in time, the future ruler of the Odyssey should Won't you stay in bed?"

"Maybe, he didn't die now!" Mary thought for a while, and didn't ask any more. "Come down and meet me now! Let's go in and have a look!"

"Go in and have a look? Do you have a way?" Tom asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure, you come down first!" Mary finished and hung up the phone.

.......................................

Ten minutes later, Tom came out from the building opposite the apartment building with his black backpack on his back and his flashy Napoleon 10 in his hand. He saw Mary from a distance and rushed to her. He waved his arms and shouted, "Hey, stand still, I'll come over!"

Mary watched him stride forward speechlessly, and said, "Honestly, I didn't even want to go there!"

Tom grinned and said, "Hey, just kidding, don't be so serious!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the door of the apartment, which was closely guarded by the police, and said in a low voice, "How are you going to get in? As far as I know, this All exits from the apartment building have been cordoned off, including pet-only access."

Mary glanced at him and said, "Are you sure there is a pet-only entrance and exit for this high-end apartment building?"

"Well, I'm exaggerating a little bit, you just know what I mean, don't you?" Tom shrugged, "Before you came, I had thought of various ways to sneak in, but...it didn't work, the police this time The guards are so tight that maybe not even a fly can fly in."

Mary was silent for a while, and walked towards the side where there were fewer people gathered outside the cordon. With some difficulty, she squeezed in front of the cordon. When she raised her eyes, she happened to see a policeman standing beside the cordon, with his hands on his belt On the ground, watching seriously the reporters kept asking them questions. Of course, he and his colleagues did not answer any questions.She yelled at the policeman, "Hello! I'm here to find someone!"

The policeman turned his head and looked over, frowned slightly, and said, "Can't you see what happened here?"

"I'm sorry, I'm here to find Zach Ho...oh, no, it's Zac Odyssey, he told me to just report his name when we get here!" Mary smiled, "Please... can you Can you help me with a question?"

The policeman didn't speak, took a step to the side, took out the walkie-talkie and started talking. Mary couldn't hear his voice, the surrounding voices were too noisy, and the media colleagues were persistently asking the policemen who were maintaining order, so that She was forced to ask... Do you know... and other interrogative sentences.She only saw something on the walkie-talkie. The policeman listened to it for a while, nodded, turned to her and said, "Wait! Someone will come to pick you up."

Mary smiled gratefully and said, "Okay, thank you!"

The policeman didn't speak any more, but stood there, continuing to look at the media reporters seriously.

Not long after, a man came out from the door of the apartment. He looked towards the cordon, and the media became agitated. Long and short guns were shot at him, and someone shouted: "Zac Odyssey!"

Zach's eyes fell on Mary, and he walked towards her without saying a word. Before Mary had time to smile at him, she was overwhelmed by the media colleagues rushing towards her eager to interview, She was staggering to find her balance, when suddenly the person behind her pushed her back vigorously, what the hell!Mary cursed secretly, and her body, which had lost its focus, involuntarily, straightly, faced the ground, and rushed to the street!
