Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 668 Doubt
"With all due respect, Mrs. Hannah, I think there is something wrong with this photo." After a careful look, Liang En quickly made his first judgment.

"Whether it is a tractor or a sled in the photo looks too abrupt, it does not seem like an item that can be equipped on a field expedition."

"Is there any problem with this tractor?" Mrs. Hannah showed a puzzled expression after hearing Liang En's words. "They are going on an expedition, so isn't it normal to prepare a tractor or something to pull things?"

"I know that the price of tractors was not cheap at that time, but judging from the amount of money my grandfather spent and his economic strength, it is not impossible to buy a tractor."

"No, that's not what I want to talk about." Liang En pointed to the tractor in the photo and said.

"You must know that tractors in that era were not very reliable, and the road conditions in northern Canada were very bad at that time, so I don't think a professional adventurer like your grandfather would choose such a thing."

Modern people often use various mechanical tools when they go on expeditions, such as off-road, snowmobiles and even airplanes, but in the 20s, few people would choose these equipment in their expeditions.

Because at that time, although the prototypes of this type of products had already appeared, their reliability and various data were far inferior to modern products, and they were not suitable for wild expeditions at all, let alone in polar regions with very bad natural conditions.

A tractor and sled like this may require a whole maintenance team and a lot of fuel to drive in this place, which is obviously not a suitable equipment for wild adventures.

"You said it makes sense." Mrs. Hannah nodded after listening to Liang En's explanation. "My grandfather was a very professional explorer and he would have thought of that - what else could be wrong?"

"Many, for example, the load capacity of this sled is abnormal." Liang En pointed to the sled in the photo and said. "It's not difficult to pull things on the snow, but such a large amount of ore should not be able to move."

"The most important thing is that if such a big guy passes by, it will attract everyone's attention even today, let alone that time, but none of the clues you found mentioned this tractor before."

"The latter one may be transported by water." Mrs. Hannah explained this point. "The two of them can walk separately and meet at a certain point, so no one will see them on the road."

"As for the ore on the sled, it is very likely that it is just the result of a staged photo. After all, my grandfather needed sponsors when he was hunting treasures, so sometimes he would take some promotional photos in advance."

"This is indeed a reasonable explanation, but another question is that if the waterway can really move, why did your grandfather choose to walk instead of taking a boat?" Liang En thought for a while and raised the second question.

"Well—it should be mainly for gathering information." After thinking for a while, Mrs. Hannah said with some uncertainty. “After all, they are not here to get somewhere, they are here to find minerals, so it is important to ask the local people.”

"Did you only find these five photos?" Liang En asked curiously after going through all the similar photos with minor differences. He felt that he needed more information to make a further judgment.

"There is also a book, the "Bible" printed by the Ottawa Church in 1921. It has the signature of a member of my father's expedition team. At that time, my people looked through the book curiously after finding the signature and found the photo. Yes," Hannah said.

"This book was the most luxurious version of the "Bible" issued by the church to believers at that time. Generally, it would only be distributed to senior clergy, people who have made great contributions to the church, and people with large donations."

"According to the information I know, when my grandfather arrived in Ottawa, he did donate a small sum to the local church, which just happened to correspond to this "Bible."

"If this is the money donated by your grandfather, why isn't your grandfather's name written on it, but the name of such an expedition member?" Liang En asked puzzled.

"This is because this member of the expedition team is not just an expedition member, but also a part-time priest in that team at that time, so it is normal for this book to be in his hands."

"Besides the name, we also found some other records in this "Bible." After watching Liang En nod to show that his doubts were resolved, Mrs. Hannah continued to explain the current situation.

"However, these records are very simple. Now I can only see a part of the prayer records. According to the analysis of those people I found, there is basically nothing of value."

"If I remember correctly, the entire expedition team should have disappeared." Liang En put down the photo in his hand and asked, "Then how did this "Bible" appear in the library?"

"I don't know." Mrs. Hannah shook her head helplessly and said, "We have checked all the information we could find, but there is no information about this."

"However, my people are now looking for clues about these things in Cochrane. If they can be found, they will bring along with the original version of these photos and the original version of the Bible."

"I think I may need to see the original things before I can make a further judgment." Liang said after carefully reading the photos, "You know, it is difficult for me to proceed to the next step just by looking at the photos. judge."

"Okay, I will send these things over there within three days." Mrs. Hannah nodded. "I'll let you know when it arrives."

"I feel that your attitude just now is a bit strange." After leaving Mrs. Hannah's house and walking to the street, Joan of Arc asked Liang En immediately.

After all, the two have been together for such a long time, and at the same time have a special soul connection, so Joan can clearly feel that Liang En seems to be full of doubts about this action.

"It's really strange, because the development of this matter now makes me smell of conspiracy." Liang En said while walking along the crosswalk on the side of the road. "Don't you think everything seems too coincidental this time?"

"Especially the sudden appearance of this Bible and the pictures inside it seems very strange, especially when an exploration team is about to go out."

It's normal to have coincidences, but it's not normal to have so many coincidences like this one. At least Liang En felt that the chances of being able to find exactly what he wanted from a library were too small.

Although there is a saying that the biggest difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs logic, but reality does not.

But if many illogical things appear in reality, there is often a more complicated part hidden in the fog behind than what you see.

In addition, the previous situation about the content of those photos is not normal, at least there are too many content that can only be justified.

These contents are not so much an explanation, but more like a forcedly created content that is barely logical and self-consistent for prevarication when a conclusion has to be drawn.
