The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1596: Chapter 1596: Found the Device to Play the Black Box

Jeremiah Bonette indeed has a great fondness for mechanical collections, and after a brief moment of thought, he raised his eyes and candidly told her, ”I remember having it at home, in the storage room. Do you want to come up with me to take a look?”

*

The Bonette household is very large, of the kind with Chinese style pavilions, and it’s evident that the garden is tended to every day, with the plants pruned neatly and beautifully.

Jeremiah Bonette’s storage room is filled with various airplane models and airplane equipment, just short of housing a full-scale aircraft.

This shows that Brian Bonette was not joking when he said Jeremiah nearly became an excellent pilot.

Jeremiah was rummaging inside.

Half an hour later, he emerged with a black, old-fashioned audio device resembling a gramophone, a smile appearing on his elegant face as he said to the girl, ”I found it.”

Jeremiah brought out the player, placed it on a stool, then searched for a power socket to plug it in.

After that, he said to Nathalie Quinlan, ”Did you bring the black box?”

”Yes, I did.” Nathalie Quinlan unzipped her single shoulder bag hanging on her shoulder and took out the black box to hand it over.

Jeremiah accepted it with a smile, saying, ”Hold on a moment, let me test if it works.”

”Alright.” Nathalie Quinlan readily agreed.

A few minutes later.

Jeremiah adjusted the old recording equipment again and finally got the playback device set up. He stood up and politely said to the girl, ”Ms. Quinlan, you can listen first; I’ll wait for you outside.”

Nathalie Quinlan’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as she thanked him, then walked over and put down her single shoulder bag.

”Take your time, no rush.” Jeremiah nodded with a smile and then went out, helpfully closing the storage room door behind her.

After they left, Nathalie Quinlan’s eyes darkened; she took out her phone, pulled up the recording, pressed play, then placed the phone beside the playback device and pressed the play button on top.

The sound effect of the old device was poor.

Fortunately, the black box was preserved well, and after a long two-minute silence, sounds finally emerged from it.

At the beginning, there were all sorts of useless chatter.

Nathalie Quinlan propped her chin with her hand, her face expressionless, yet she listened patiently, without fast-forwarding through the tedious dialogue of the first few minutes.

Until the last few minutes before the black box finished playing.

The airplane encountered an incident, and the entire aircraft began to shake, transforming the previously dull recording into a cacophony of noise and distractions.

Nathalie Quinlan half-closed her eyes, her gaze sharp; the lax expression on her face tightened up considerably, growing increasingly earnest.

She quietly waited...

Amid the loud clamor, Nathalie Quinlan sharply heard someone speaking.

”Are you sure the item is in her possession?”

”Positive. Raymond Wilmar said he saw it with his own eyes.”

Nathalie Quinlan raised an eyebrow, fingers resting on her leg curled up, her expression turning thoughtful.

Raymond Wilmar?

Wilmar Family?

In the midst of the noise, two people continued whispering.

”But during the security check, we thoroughly examined the box, and the item wasn’t inside it.”

This was already the second time the duo mentioned— ”that thing.”

Nathalie Quinlan couldn’t help but notice this detail.

What are they looking for?

”Just because it wasn’t in the box doesn’t mean she didn’t have it on her. Don’t forget who Lynette Kingsley is; sneaking past security would be no great feat for her.”

”That’s true.”

”The order from above is to find the item, and if it can’t be found, destroy both the person and the item together!”
