Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 131 Tracking
"What information did you see on these patterns?" Fan Meng looked at these patterns carefully, but was still at a loss. "Why can't I see anything."

"This is actually a very simple secret language." Liang En said while pointing at the patterns with a depressed expression. "The pattern itself has no meaning, what is really meaningful is the threads exposed by the pattern."

"For example, the Arabic numeral 6 has a thread exposed, so it corresponds to the number 1, which is the English letter a. And the one that looks like a well in Chinese characters corresponds to the number 8, which is the letter h according to the English alphabet."

"And if you translate those letters in the order above, you can just spell out a sentence: Whitechapel, George's Apartment, Gate Street."

"You're talking about Whitechapel!" After hearing a certain word, Fan Meng suddenly became excited.Because the place name Whitechapel is too famous for many detective lovers.

For most non-British people, the memory of Whitechapel is the serial murders caused by the famous Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel area.

Because that case has not been able to be cracked, countless people later created a series of literary and film works based on this incident.

The more famous ones are "Midnight Murder" and "A Study of Horror" in the Sherlock Holmes series.In addition, in recent decades, many computer games and TV programs have been related to this case, making this case an important IP of this era.

One of the most important reasons for this hot situation is that from the past to the present, the area around Whitechapel in London's East End has been very chaotic, and this has further created various fantasies.

Also because of this reason, Liang En began to doubt the problem of the show itself.After all, the law and order in the Whitechapel area has been relatively problematic until today, so it is hard for him to believe that there will be a show in that kind of place.

Thinking of this, Liang En immediately took out his mobile phone and started dialing the emergency contact number that the old Mike had left for him before. After a few rings, the other party connected quickly.

"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Liang En asked directly the first time the call was connected. "Why is our next location actually the Whitechapel District, you should know the security of that place—"

"Sorry, this is our mistake." Old Mike's apologetic voice came from the phone. "The folding page of the previous book was accidentally replaced. You were supposed to go to Buckingham Palace to search for the next target."

If old Mike planned to use this mistake to gain more ratings before, the current situation is completely out of his control.

In particular, Liang En is not an ordinary treasure hunter. He has already gained a great reputation in ancient Egyptian archaeology, especially in Egyptian writing. If something happens, he can't bear the responsibility.

"Then what should we do next?" Liang En looked at the door, then lowered his voice and asked.After all, now that the other party has subdued, it is also appropriate to save face for the other party.

"I will compensate you in this regard, and I will pay you an extra 1 pounds after the game." Old Mike said honestly, "The next action depends on what you plan to do next."

"If you still want to go according to the original plan, I will order Hans to cooperate with you to lead the plan to the original road. And if you want to continue searching according to the current thing, I will help you find a few bodyguards to go in with you." Whitechapel."

"—I decided to enter the Whitechapel area." After thinking for a few seconds, Liang En said. "After all, compared with more than 100 years ago, the law and order in the Whitechapel area is much better now."

"Although it is still relatively chaotic because of the South Asian immigration problem, if you go during the day, there shouldn't be too many problems. Just remember to leave there before dark."

"Okay! Then I'll help you find security personnel now. We'll meet at a place then." After hearing Liang En's words, Old Mike put a smile on his face.

The difference from before is that now he has explained the possible dangers, and Liang En has chosen to continue the trip to Whitechapel. Compared with the original plan, it is obviously more profitable from the perspective of ratings. Get everyone's attention.

While Old Mike was preparing security personnel, Liang En, Fan Meng and the others went straight to London.After more than half an hour, they arrived at the Whitechapel area.

Known as the Whitechapel district of East London, the place is now regarded as a trendy art district.In many travel recommendations, it will be declared that this neighborhood is full of vibrant street culture.

But what the introducers of these scenic spots did not mention is that all over the world, especially in the Western world, areas where street culture is active are often also active in various illegal activities.

Fortunately, the street was safe enough during the day, and they also joined the security personnel sent by Old Mike.Therefore, he successfully set foot on the gate street that was his goal.

"Can we really find what we are looking for?" Looking at the surrounding situation, Fan Meng frowned. "The history of the house in this place is obviously much younger than the period described in the paper we found."

The reason why Fan Meng said such a sentence was because the two sides of this street were clearly Victorian-style red brick four-story buildings.And these houses could not have been built in the 17th or 18th century.

"It just depends on luck. If we are lucky, we might be able to find the hidden things back then." Liang En said carefully, looking at the two rows of houses on both sides.

At the same time, he used the only [Detection (R)] in his hand on the card he found just now, and saw that the point was at the position marked on the previous note.

Obviously, the other party had a high probability of putting that thing underground, because only in this way can the traces be preserved until today when the ground structure changes.

Now the building above the target location is a four-story red brick building that is common on the street, but the overall maintenance level of this building is very average because it is far away from the main street, and it even looks a little dirty.

After getting closer, Liang En discovered that the building was even worse than what he had seen in nature, because the building was now sub-let to many people, and the financial situation of these tenants seemed to be a bit bad.

"What should we do next?" Looking at the colorful graffiti on the walls on both sides, even the cameraman Hans became nervous.

"Find the owner of this house, and obtain an excavation permit from him or her." Liang En snapped his fingers after looking around at the door.

Fortunately, this house has been renting out, so the landlord's contact method is specially hung on the door.After the call was made and the purpose of coming was explained, the other party quickly came here with a lawyer.

Because this time it was an unexpected excavation work, the old Mike did not make corresponding preparations.Fortunately, after a simple exchange, the landlord here agreed to Liang En's excavation work.

It's just that the difference from imagination is that the other party did not ask for half of the excavated things as usual, but asked to pay him 2000 pounds in cash.
