Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 424 Analysis
An ordinary apartment is completely different from an apartment in a building declared a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. In Liang En's eyes, the former is just a form of wealth, but the latter is a real treasure.

So on the second day of the birthday party, Liang En and Joan of Arc came to the door of the apartment they had agreed with Mrs. Arkad as agreed.

"Good morning, Mr. Liang, and Miss Dalk." After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly, and Arkad, who was wearing a home uniform, came out of the room, and then greeted Liang En and the others. .

"Good morning, Mrs. Arkad." Liang En returned the courtesy, and then followed Mrs. Arkad into an apartment on the second floor of this residence that was left over 100 years ago.

"Here is—" When several people walked through the corridor and came to the room that should be the living room, the curtains that were nailed to death and the metal cabinets that almost filled the room showed shocking expressions.

"Here is my father, and my children looking for my grandfather for more than 20 years, and the information given by Spain before." Mrs. Arkad pointed to these iron cabinets, and then pointed to the corner of the room Said a big notebook on the table.

"In the past two years, I asked someone to sort out these materials, and then recorded the contents of all the materials in the book. You can use that book to find the location of the materials you need, and then go to the corresponding cabinet to find things. "

After giving simple instructions, Mrs. Arkad left a middle-aged maid here to provide Liang En and the others with various necessities, and then left.

After she left, Liang En and Joan of Arc immediately cooperated to search the records, only to find that there were too many repetitions in the records, which should be what the previous investigators discovered.

Of course, these materials are very meaningful. Through the mutual verification of these materials, Liang En and the others obtained a series of very important information, and were able to deduce some clues about the missing person.

"There were two people missing at the time, besides Mrs. Arkad's father, Mr. Garcia, and Mr. Garcia's driver and bodyguard."

After spending two days checking these contents, Liang En sorted out the timetable of Mr. Garcia from entering Spain to disappearing.

"It took less than a week from the time the other party entered the country to the disappearance, to be precise, it was only one night, but the strange thing is that everyone has searched for the place where they may have disappeared for so long, but no one has ever found a clue—"

The other party entered Spain in October 1954. He went there mainly to discuss the business of olive oil. In fact, this was a very daily business for Mr. Garcia.

After all, the two sides have been cooperating for many years, and only stopped for a while during the war years. In addition, every October during the olive harvest season, he would go to Spain to meet with his collaborators and check the harvest of the year’s olives .

Of course, because the oil company owned by Mr. Garcia accounted for 1/10 of all the olive oil production in France at that time, the required raw materials were naturally an astronomical figure.

Therefore, when the other party goes to Spain every year, naturally they will not only visit one plantation, but will randomly check multiple plantations in different locations to test the olive harvest of the year.

It's just that there was an accident in 1954. When the other party finished inspecting the seventh plantation and was about to inspect the eighth plantation located more than 20 kilometers away, the eighth plantation did not wait for his arrival.

Because the personnel exchange at that time was obviously not as convenient as it is now, it was not until a day later that the eighth plantation realized that something was wrong, and then after another day of chaos, it did not seek official assistance.

Although Spain was ruled by Franco at the time, it was even better than it is now from the perspective of law and order. After all, although it is very inhumane to be sentenced to several years of hard labor for stealing something, it effectively reduced various criminal cases.

So after learning that a foreign investor who was very important to Spain at that time was missing in the territory, the Spanish government sent a large number of personnel to help search, but found nothing.

Fortunately, this kind of nothing just means that the two missing persons and the car that were driving at that time were not found. As for the clues, some clues were found.

For example, they determined that the location where they were attacked was located on a road connecting Garcia’s inspection site and a small mountain village. The attackers used broken glass to damage the tires of the car to stop the car, and then drove away. other side.

This judgment was made because the old tire punctured by glass was thrown there, and the police used metal detectors to find bullets from the pistol carried by Garcia's bodyguard on the ground.

It is a pity that even if the attacker's fingerprints were found from the metal part of the discarded tire, it was impossible to find who the corresponding attacker was due to technical limitations at the time.

What's worse is that it was already afternoon when Garcia left the plantation, and the sky was already dark at that time, and the electrical equipment owned by that era in the village on the other side of the road only had two light bulbs besides a dozen flashlights.

So when the car passed through the village, the villagers in the dark village only knew that the car passed by the village and drove north, but they didn't know where the other party was going.

This is mainly because these few olive plantations are located on the floodplains with fertile soil on both sides of the Guadalquivir River, the most fertile in Spain, and this flat terrain has too many places to leave.

Not to mention that in those days, let alone surveillance, even the population density was much lower than it is now, so a car could easily disappear completely on such a large plain at night.

Considering the huge search area and the long-awaited searchers, the kidnappers definitely had enough time to completely remove the people and cars without being noticed.

"Do you think this was detained by the Spanish authorities at that time?" After reading these materials, Joan of Arc, who had recently made up for some historical knowledge, asked the first reaction.

"You know, all kinds of secret arrests were common in Spain during Franco's rule. If they were arrested by official forces, it would be normal if they couldn't find their whereabouts."

"No, this possibility basically does not exist." Liang En shook his head and said, "At least the Spanish authorities have absolutely no reason to do this, and subsequent investigations can prove this, so I am more inclined that they encountered some kind of attack."

"That's right, even if you launch an attack, there must be a reason. There is no such thing as an unprovoked attack." Joan nodded seriously, "Now that the data analysis is over, what should we do next?"

"Of course I went to Spain for a field survey." Liang En put the last document in his hand back into the metal cabinet, and then said. "The information these materials can bring us is limited to this, and some things can only be known by field exploration."

"Okay, then let's get ready to go!" Joan of Arc smiled. "We'd better get going as soon as possible."

Joan of Arc is full of confidence that Liang En can find the target. After all, he knows that Liang En has some special abilities, and can find key clues from places where others can't find clues, and then find the target he is looking for.
