Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 425 Heading to Spain

Andalusia is located in the southernmost historical and geographical region of Spain, and it is also a rich autonomous region in southern Spain. The name first came from the Arabs, meaning "the land of the Vandals.

The whole territory is mainly composed of the Great Basin of the Guadalquivir River and the Baetic Mountains, and the famous tourist resorts of the Costa del Sol and the Luz Coast along the southern coast.

The region has fertile land and beautiful scenery. It produces sugar cane, bananas, grapes and cotton. There are many relics of the Moorish rule from the 8th to the 15th centuries. It is also the origin of 80% of the country's olives.

As the southernmost region in Europe, the southernmost tip of Andalusia is only 17 nautical miles away from Africa. Her special geographical location has enabled her to absorb various cultures throughout its long history.

She is a bridge between Africa and Europe, as well as the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Although the Spaniards vigorously cleared the traces of the Moors through the Inquisition after the long 800-year restoration war, there are still some things left to this day.

"A lot of things from Central Asia and North Africa are preserved here." When driving through the streets of Seville, the most important city in Andalusia, Joan of Arc, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the side of the road curiously. Speaking of scenery.

"In my day, Portugal, Castile and Aragon had occupied most of the Iberian Peninsula, and the Nasrid dynasty of the Moors seemed to be dying."

"It's just that I really didn't expect that they were able to completely drive the Moors away from here in such a short period of time, and let the glory of God shine on this land again."

In the end, Joan ended the discussion on this aspect with a word that is absolutely zz wrong now, but she said it without any sense of disobedience.

At this time, they were driving past the gate of the Royal Palace of Seville. In this building, Gothic architectural elements and French clay architectural styles can be seen at the same time, which has become a model of Mudejar architecture.

The most magnificent part of this palace is the resplendent Ambassador Hall. At the same time, there is also an ancient Roman acropolis, an Arab fortress and several Visigothic buildings in the palace, which can be regarded as a condensed history of Iberia.

Of course, Liang En and the others didn't have time to visit these famous attractions at all. After taking the plane from Paris and landing in this city, they found a pre-rented car in the parking lot as soon as they got out of the airport, and then headed northeast all the way go.

Their goal was a rural road 35 kilometers away from the city. According to the clues they found before, Mr. Garcia and his driver disappeared in that place in a car.

"It should be here." Because of the traffic jam in the city, it took them more than an hour to arrive at the destination, and then parked the car in an open space on the side of the road.

This is a road surrounded by hills. Unlike the previous records, the original single-lane gravel road has now become a two-lane asphalt road. Fortunately, the surrounding terrain has not changed much. .

"If you shoot here, the person in the small house that guards the plantation we passed by just now should be able to hear it." Standing on the side of the road and looking at the terrain, Joan pointed to a small village within her sight Speaking of.

During this period of time, Joan of Arc spent a lot of time and energy on shooting practice, so she knew how far the sound of guns could travel.

"You're right, but it's a pity that the information indicated that the house was empty at the time." Liang En shrugged his shoulders and said, "When the accident happened, the plantation caretaker, who was in his 60s at the time, was not feeling well that day. No watch here.

Liang En had doubts about this person at first, thinking that he might be an insider or one of the insiders, but the previous investigation reports from Spanish officials and private investigators dispelled this suspicion.

According to the report, the old man was not in good health after the age of 40. In addition, he was unlucky enough to be shot in the thigh during the civil war. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to visit his own plantation every day, once a week. Two or three times is not bad.

Judging from the on-site survey, this place is indeed a good place to ambush, because the location is just at a downhill place where the car turns around after coming out of the plantation. ambush.

However, on-site inspections can only see this. Too many things have changed in more than 60 years, and it is basically impossible to find many clues about the attack that year.

"Okay, ordinary site surveys can't bring us much information." Liang En said to Jeanne after briefly checking the situation on the site. "Next I'm going to use some extra skills, you are watching the car here."

After finishing speaking, he looked around for a while, and then walked along a small road towards the top of a hill that was only 7 or 8 meters away from the road on the side of the turn.

It is not easy to find something in this place that can definitely see the scene. After all, too much time has passed, and this section of the road has also undergone a series of upgrades such as road widening and hardening.

Fortunately, after comparing the old photo he saw in his mind with the actual situation now, he found that a boulder with a height of one person on the small hill by the side of the road had not changed for so many years, and it should be able to be used as a card observation point.

When I came to the edge of this big rock.Liang En put his hand on the big rock and activated one of the two [Appraisal (R)] cards he held.

Because Liang En had found the specific date of the attack from the pile of materials, he quickly set that day as the benchmark, and then browsed the day centered on this stone and the various events before and after. What used to happen around the stone one day.

Soon, he noticed that the day before the robbery, two young men had come to this corner on a broken bicycle and got off for a while to observe before leaving.Obviously, this is not a normal phenomenon.

After discovering this suspicious place, Liang En quickly focused his attention on it. Sure enough, on the afternoon of the day when the incident happened, he saw these two people coming here again on a bicycle, and then they were alone on the hillside, A person lay in ambush under the hillside.

Soon, the two waited in hiding until dark, doing nothing, although two or three trucks carrying olive oil passed the road in the process.

Until around 8 o'clock in the evening, the man on the mountain signaled down the mountain with a flashlight covered with a layer of cloth, and the people ambushing on the side of the road threw several empty beer bottles on the road as soon as they saw the signal.

The glass bottle shattered into shards of glass as it hit the gravel road, and then a black sedan swerved from behind the curve and crushed the glass, slamming the front left wheel and deflated.

Seeing this, the driver of the car immediately stopped the car and got out of the car to check. With the help of the moonlight from the sky, Liang En immediately recognized that the driver was Mr. Garcia when he disappeared. The driver of his car.

At the same time, he also vaguely saw another man sitting in the back seat of the vehicle trying to move to the window to see what was happening outside.
