There were about seven military vehicles parked at the intersection, some Hummers, some jeeps, and even two military trucks.

Joyce pointed to one of the Hummers and said, "I've seen this kind of vehicle before. It was the military Hummer that the Heath family used to send to R&S Group headquarters to pick up Charlotte." "You're right. We are indeed close to the Heath residence." Karl replied.

"Ah." Joyce wasn't expecting this at all. After all, she had never been to Charlotte's house, "You even looked into this?"

"Of course. Walking in from this intersection, there's a European-style villa with a steeple, which is where the Heath residence is located. With so many military vehicles parked here tonight, the Heath family must be up to something big." Karl stared, shaking his head, "And, not in a good way."

"What can go wrong?" Joyce suddenly felt strange in her heart, somehow breathless. Strange, even if something happened to the Heath family, what did it have to do with her, an outsider? Why would he feel sad?

She thought of the gentle and spirited Cecelia, the kind and amiable Rodney, and her mind was slightly moved.

Regardless of how Charlotte was, they were both really good people.

"Come on, let's go see what all the fuss is about, maybe we'll find something new. At the moment, the case is all focused on Charlotte. And we've never had a chance to get close to the Heath family yet," Karl didn't hold back, taking Joyce by the arm and leading her all the way inside.

On both sides of the road, respectively, stood a dozen soldiers, all in their military green uniforms, loaded with guns and bullets, looking majestic.

The passers-by, who were coming and going, looked over at them, not knowing what was going on. Because most of the pedestrians were here to cross this road, these soldiers did not stop them. Someone whispered, "What's wrong today, the Heath family is surrounded by soldiers in front of the gate?"

"I don't know, could it be that the general has returned?"

"It's not like the general hasn't come back before, never with so many people. It was at most just a dozen people and a military truck. Usually, when the general comes back by himself, he brings at most four or five lieutenants."

"Yes, the Heath family is very low profile."

"I'm afraid something big has happened?"

"Who knows?"

"Or should we go over there and take a look?"

"Come on, how can we be let in? Just now I have gone to the door of the Heath residence, the soldiers at the door stopped me. It seems like something big is going on inside, and they look quite serious." "Yeah, did you see that military ambulance with a cross parked in the yard?"

"Who's sick, there's no military hospital in Khebury? Did the ambulance have to drive here from the Capital?"

"I don't know. How could I know?"

Karl and Joyce looked at each other. Things seemed pretty serious.

They soon came to the door of the Heath family. It was a dark night, and the big black iron gate looked particularly cold.

Karl was just about to take a step forward when four soldiers stepped forward to stop him, "Sorry, no one is allowed in."

Karl took his ID out and handed it to the soldier with a gun, "I'm the criminal police officer in charge of this area. If it's just an internal matter of your army, we have no right to interfere. But if it involves public security, I have the right to go in and check it out. And, if it's a criminal case, the military has to report it to the police department."
