Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 198 End
What Liang En didn't know was that when he was standing in the lobby on the phone, his voice was transmitted to a certain guest room on the third floor through the microphone on a waiter not far away.

"This person shouldn't be an informant. It's better for us to focus on the other two guys." At this time, the two people in the guest room changed positions, and the young man with blond hair was listening to something with headphones. .

"You are right. It seems that this Mr. Liang is probably here to help those rich people appraise and purchase some things." Said the brown-haired middle-aged man who had been staring at the monitor screen.

"This also explains why a scholar like him came to participate in this high-end auction. After all, if he didn't spend his own money, he would naturally look at things that he might not be able to afford."

Obviously, the two guys who were probably behind the theft in the museum knew about Liang En only on the surface, so they didn't know much about Liang En's financial resources.

Of course, Liang En didn't know that he had unknowingly got rid of a trouble. At this time, he returned to his seat smoothly, and then focused on the next collection.

Since this auction is not just an ordinary auction, in addition to those heavy auction items, there will also be some interesting items to arouse everyone's interest.

For example, the auction item that Liang En is focusing on now is like this. In the photo, it is just a dusty wooden box, but most of the box is filled with paper with a lot of words written on it.

According to the introduction in the auction brochure, this box of documents came from the Oehlenburg Monastery in Alsace, France, and all the documents in it were German documents preserved by the monastery.

Considering that the two regions of Alsace and Lorraine belonged to the German-speaking area until the end of the First World War, it is not surprising that there are a large number of German-language documents in the abbey.

However, with the Frenchization of the whole area, it seems a bit out of date for these German documents to be placed in the monastery, so after the discovery of these ancient documents more than 100 years ago, they decided to sell these things through auction.

Because of the age of these items, the starting price was set at 2000 euros.However, the people present seemed to lack interest in this thing, and there was even a cold silence for the first time after the auction started.

In the end, Liang En successfully bought the box of documents at a reserve price of 2000 euros, because he always felt that the pronunciation of the monastery's name had left traces in his memory.

Although he wondered what this thing was all about for a while, but considering that the place where he could leave his name in his mind should not be unknown, he decided to buy these things.

Of course, this was mainly because Liang En was rich now, so he was able to spend thousands of euros just to satisfy his curiosity.If I had been digging houses in a broken van before, I definitely wouldn't have done this.

Finally, the more than four-hour auction was coming to an end. When the guests present were a little sleepy, the organizer brought out the top items in the auction.

"This is the prayer book of Mary I, the fifth king of England and the fourth king of Ireland in the Tudor dynasty. In history, this Mary I was also known as Bloody Mary, who once burned 300 opponents—"

Just when the narrator started explaining the prayer book, people present who were interested in this thing lined up and walked past the mobile glass cabinet where the things were placed, and Liang En mixed in with these people.

"It looks real." Staring at the golden prayer book in front of him, he felt that it was indeed something that had been lost in the Irish Museum, but out of caution, he used it when he was close to the glass cabinet. A piece of [Detection (N)].

"Huh——" Just after Liang En used this card, the feedback information was different from what he had imagined, to be exact, it was the exact opposite.

【Bloody Mary is a devout Catholic queen, therefore, she prays every day according to religious requirements.So I have used many prayer books for prayers throughout my life. 】

[Because these prayer books are excellent both in design and binding, many people in later generations made some imitations according to the original ones, and now this thing is one of the modern imitations that is closer to the original. 】

"Modern imitation?" Liang En frowned slightly after looking at the information returned by the card.Because what was lost by the museum was an authentic one, but this imitation looked so lifelike, if it wasn't for the card, he felt that he would definitely admit his mistake.

"Something's wrong." The moment he found out that this thing was a fake, Liang En realized that the situation was different from what he had expected, because it was completely different from the content of the previous intelligence.

For Liang En, who had read many detective novels and movies before, he immediately realized that there might be some changes that he didn't know about.

After confirming this, he immediately adjusted his mood and pretended to visit the auction item like other guests, and then sat back in his seat.

In the following auction, the starting price of this item rose steadily from 10 euros, and finally dropped the hammer at a price of 43.5 euros.

Because of some speculation in advance, Liang En paid attention to the final auctioneer in front of him on the left.As a result, many abnormalities were found in the last bidder.

For example, the other party doesn't seem to be used to wearing a suit, especially the high-end watch on his wrist. What's even more strange is that the glasses this person wears are a cheap version of the glasses.

At the same time, this person is obviously abnormal when asking a price. Ordinary people always think about it when asking a price, but this person will follow up as long as anyone else bids a price, as if money is not important to him.

From Liang En's point of view, this person doesn't look like a rich man, but he spends so much money without hesitation, no matter what, there is a strong sense of incongruity.

In addition to this prayer book, another item that was the finale of the auction was an Uzi steel knife that was once used by an Ottoman sultan.

Compared with the previous prayer book, this Uzi steel knife inlaid with emeralds and decorated with silver and rhinoceros horn caused a lot of competition at the beginning of the auction, and the price soon exceeded 80 euros.

Liang En also offered two prices at the beginning, but he gave up when the price exceeded 50 euros. In the end, the knife fell under the hammer at a price of 115 million euros.

After the auction ended, Liang En first paid for the things he had just bought and put the two items in the hotel safe, then walked out of the hotel.

He pretended that he was wandering casually, walked to a lawn not far from the hotel and sat down, then took out his notebook and a pencil and used the skill of [Sketch Painter (R)] to draw the last painting in the auction on the notebook. Photographed the person with the prayer book and took the opportunity to check the surroundings to make sure there were no stalkers.

After doing all this, he came to the back of a bush and took out his mobile phone, then dialed the contact number left by the previous police officer.

"Hello! Officer Burke, I have now come out of the auction, and now it seems that things are not as you imagined before——"
