Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 406 On-site investigation
"Can you tell me what's going on?" After roughly checking, Liang En walked up to Officer Burke and asked, "Most of the things here are fakes, even if they are real, they are not worth much. .”

At the beginning, Liang En was a little excited when he saw those papyrus, gold leaf, wood carvings, stone carvings and even a coffin, but soon he found that these things were not genuine, and there was absolutely no need to call himself here.

More importantly, even the level of counterfeiting of this bunch of things belongs to the level that Tianjin is better than street stalls, and it is absolutely impossible for the professionals present to identify it.

Therefore, Liang En quickly realized that something was wrong with the current situation. Considering that he was not a newcomer, he simply asked Mr. Burke who had called him over to inquire about the situation.

"We got a tip that the Gold Society recently organized a batch of cultural relics from the Middle East to try to break through the customs and send them to us, and then entered the UK through the undefended border between us and Northern Ireland."

After hearing Liang En's question, Officer Burke first looked around to make sure there was no one else around, and then explained the current situation to Liang En in a low voice.

"The reliability of this informant is very high. We successfully intercepted these two containers according to the information in the intelligence, but the situation is as you can see. We did not find anything of value."

Because of the previous cooperation between the two parties, Officer Burke was able to confirm that Liang En was definitely not a member of the Golden Society and revealed some inside information.

Obviously, the current situation is a bit tricky, which is why Liang En, an expert in this field, was specially recruited, hoping to see what was going on from their professional perspective.

"Could it be that the other party used this opportunity to kill the undercover agent hiding among them?" Liang En asked after thinking for a while, "For example, if you give different information to several people, which person's information will be leaked at that time? Then we can determine who is the undercover agent."

"This can be guaranteed absolutely not, because the other party's sale of items this time is actually to send some things to those behind them, and then take the opportunity to do some sorting." Officer Burke said with certainty.

"So the purpose of the Gold Society this time is to transport some of the good things they collected to London and hand them over to the target, so it is absolutely impossible for them to take risks and take this opportunity to try."

"What's more, we got reliable information to prove that the important thing is in these two containers. The only problem now is that we don't know what that thing is and where it is hidden."

"Could it be hidden in the container itself or those solid sculptures?" Liang En asked after recalling the detective movies he had watched.

"No, because we used a portable X-ray to scan the container and its contents. At least we can confirm that there is absolutely no extra layer or hidden space inside." Officer Burke shook his head.

The people searched here are all professional customs officers. They usually see a lot of various smuggling activities. Naturally, they will not let go of the common concealment methods of those smugglers, so a layman like Liang En must have thought of everything he can think of.

That's why Police Officer Burke called Liang En, because he felt that since this was cultural relic smuggling, Liang En, who is a professional in this field, might find things they had overlooked from different places.

"This is troublesome." Liang En rubbed his forehead and said, "Let me check these things again, maybe I can find some valuable clues."

Now it seems that conventional means can no longer solve the problem. Fortunately, Liang En has a card that can be used, so as a [Detection (N)] card was used, Liang En quickly discovered that there was a card in the depths of the container. The golden dots are marked out in the mind.

Soon, Liang En found his target under several boxes. It was a box as big as the others. Interestingly, the light-emitting thing was not inside the box, but on the box body.

Soon, Liang En discovered that the thing emitting light before was not something embedded in the outer crate, but a wooden board of the crate itself.

After careful observation, Liang En found that this board was different from normal boards, it looked like a piece of plywood, and the two boards next to each other obviously did not come from the same place.

The darker board among them is the real golden thing, which means that this board is probably very valuable, and it is not as simple as it seems.

In fact, if it weren't for the card effect, Liang En might not have paid attention to these boxes at all. After all, this kind of wooden box used for long-distance transportation is basically a disposable container made of all kinds of messy wood. So the wood is naturally not uniform.

After communicating with several police officers at the scene, Liang En obtained permission to remove the board, so he carefully removed the board with tools.

After the board was removed, he realized that it was not the plywood in his imagination, but the two boards were stuck together by a very ingenious method, so the two boards were separated with just a little force on his hands.

Among them, the pale yellow board was an ordinary pine board, but the gray board was obviously not an ordinary board, because it was actually engraved with densely packed ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

"He came out into the day. Here, I have traveled to the grave, and seen your strong body. I have seen Osiris sow darkness through the underworld—"

The moment he saw the board, Liang En translated the words on the board, and at the same time recognized that the words came from the seventh poem in the famous "Book of the Dead" in ancient Egypt.

"Sure enough, what the other party intends to transport are cultural relics from ancient Egypt." After a brief glance, Liang En immediately confirmed that the thing in front of him was indeed genuine.

After all, he was the first person in the world to decipher the ancient Egyptian script. Before that, people did not have any knowledge related to this dead script.

So at that time, the counterfeiters actually just scribbled the text they could find on it, so it was easy for Liang En to tell the truth from the fake.

After determining that there is a problem with the gray plank.Everyone acted immediately, and it turned out that many wooden boards with the same carvings were mixed with the wooden boards used to make wooden crates.

It seemed that this was the method of smuggling by those members of the Golden Association. The other party realized that their rush delivery of goods might leak out, but because of the situation, the delivery of goods could not be postponed.

So the things packed in the box are only used to attract attention, and the things that are really intended to be smuggled are hidden on the outer packaging.

Because the texture of this thing is wood like the box itself, technological means such as portable x-ray machines are powerless to deal with this situation.

To tell you the truth, Gold's method of hiding these ancient Egyptian planks is indeed very cunning. If Liang En hadn't mastered the cards, everyone might have missed this thing under the premise that large-scale destructive inspections are not allowed. .
