Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 166 Something is wrong

After listening to Pierce's introduction of the story of how this great city fell, the three people present sighed at the same time. This kind of desperate fight in despair can always arouse people's emotional resonance.

But after the sigh was over, everyone had to wear gloves and put the bones together with the relics found on the bones into the body bag for the next step.

It was also during this process that Liang En and the others found several specially customized copper and silver-plated shirt buttons under the skeleton marked by his card just now, and through these buttons with special relief, they confirmed that the skeleton belonged to Mr Conrad.

Of course, this judgment is only the most preliminary judgment.After the people from the Skold family came over, they would conduct a final confirmation through DNA testing to ensure that they did not find the wrong person.

In addition, Liang En and the others, who carefully searched the entire building, also found some relatively new traces in some rooms, and roughly restored what happened here at that time.

Judging from the traces left everywhere, most of the people in that expedition team were caught without resistance, and there were only two places where traces of resistance could be seen.

Also because of this discovery, Liang En and the others felt that there was definitely a mole in the expedition that Conrad was in, so the attacker probably chose to use the mole to kill the sentinel one night, and then successfully attacked the expedition .

It's just that the attackers knew how to hide their identities, so Liang En and the others didn't find any items that could reveal the identity of the attackers.

"As for the specific identity of the murderer, I think we can only leave it to Mr. Scout and the others." Liang En shrugged helplessly after realizing that he could not solve the mystery by himself.

"However, we should have found the missing Mr. Conrad by now, so this small mistake should not affect our reward of 70 euros."

Finally, around 8 o'clock in the evening, Liang En and the others completed the inspection and cleaning work and returned to the place where the fork was before to start cooking dinner. At this time, Liang En began to recall a little bit and organize himself just now. see everything.

"I suddenly thought of a question." After the meal was ready, Liang En asked suddenly. "Why do you think that guard chose to hide these so-called treasures at such a dangerous moment back then?"

"Could this be for the dignity of the empire?" Pierce said, "Think about it, a millennium empire is about to be destroyed. At this time, the emperor probably wants to put these things that represent the royal family together to avoid being insulted."

"No." Liang En shook his head and said, "Although Constantine XI was indeed an emperor who valued his dignity from the perspective of his last battle to the death, this act of hiding treasures is indeed a bit strange."

"Because if you really want to maintain your dignity and prevent these things from falling into the hands of the enemy, then he can completely destroy these things in Constantinople, and there is no need to send them here all the way."

"Could it be the restoration funds?" Fan Meng said suddenly, but before the others spoke, he himself denied this point of view. "No, no, these things are not only worthless, but also very conspicuous, not suitable for this purpose."

For the Restoration Fund, gold, silver or some common high-grade textiles are the most suitable hard currencies with high value, small size and no characteristics.

As for those unique jewelry, or textiles embroidered with various noble coats of arms, no matter how expensive they are, they are not suitable for carrying, because these things are likely to attract the attention of the country destroyers, and follow the vine to wipe out the exiles.

As a thousand-year empire, the royal family of the Eastern Roman Empire would not be ignorant of this, so this pile of rags cannot be left behind by them.

"The other party's ability to mobilize the human resources that were already stretched at the time to do this matter shows that this matter is very important, even higher than defending the city." Liang En tapped his forehead with his finger and said.

"And these two boxes were worthless at that time, and it was obviously not worthwhile for those loyal people to take them for a special trip."

"Especially judging from the layers of plaster painted on the wall, this secret room for hiding treasures should have been built very early, but when this group of people came here with the boxes, the church was in an abandoned stage."

"That is to say, when those people came with the boxes, the church had become deserted, but they spent a lot of time hiding the boxes and even painted the church again when the time was very tight. "

Pierce also fell into deep thought when he said this, because this approach seemed to be something done by a lunatic, which was completely unreasonable.

At that time, Constantinople was preparing for the final battle, and there were only more than 2000 defenders in the entire city. For a city that lacked manpower, there was no reason to waste this small team of dozens of people.

On the other hand, judging from the parchment found now, this team finally returned to the city before the siege, and chose to die there with its emperor, so these people's loyalty does not exist. It is possible for people to grind foreign labor.

If it's an inappropriate analogy, if it's just for those two boxes of things, the whole thing feels as absurd as not rushing to escape when the ship sinks, but insisting on eating lunch slowly.

"There may still be something hidden in this place that we don't know about." Liang En said, looking at the faces of the two companions flushed by the bonfire, "So I plan to check that secret room again tomorrow."

"It should be the entire church." Fan Meng said suddenly, "When I was training, the instructors said that many important things would be hidden in some very ordinary places, so that thing could be hidden anywhere."

So after resting at the fork of the cave not far from the exit for one night, Liang En and the others got up early the next morning, and then checked the situation of the entire church in the mountain.

As for the inspection method, it is also very simple, that is, to find traces of various possible treasures through metal detectors and beating methods. Without such high-tech equipment as ground-penetrating radar, this is already the best method. Good plan.

Through inspection, Liang En and the others could confirm that the church in the mountain had been rebuilt many times, at least the murals around the church hall had more than one layer.

This kind of reconstruction has brought Liang En and the others huge troubles. The treasure hunters of the past may have left traces somewhere, but now all traces will disappear in the reconstructions again and again.

Fortunately, [Careful Observation (R)] This passive card has been working.So when Liang En searched into the main sanctuary of the church, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

According to the results of previous inspections, this church in the rock was obviously built in imitation of external churches, which means that even if it is completely unnecessary from a structural point of view, a large number of domes and columns will still be built.

But now, he found that there seemed to be a little more columns here.
