Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 669 Details
"You mean that old lady is lying to us?" Joan of Arc frowned and began to ride in thought, "But according to my opinion, that person should not be lying to us."

The reason why Joan of Arc said this was because she had a special talent, that is, she was very accurate in identifying people, and almost all concealments could not escape her eyes, and according to her feeling, the old lady Hannah hadn't lied just now.

At the same time, from a rational point of view, Mrs. Hannah shouldn't lie, because it doesn't make any sense to her at all, let alone bring her benefits.

"No, I didn't say that the old lady wanted to deceive us." Liang En shook his head lightly and said, "It's just that the situation of those who helped him investigate is hard to say."

"That's why I just asked them for those original documents, because the only thing we can do is to see if we can find any clues from the original documents under the background that the specific situation cannot be confirmed now?"

Two days later, Liang En and the others received a postal package sent by Mrs. Hannah in the hotel where they lived, which contained all the clues found in Canada this time.

"Let me see what this is?" After opening the package, Liang En immediately checked the previous photos. As Mrs. Hannah said before, these photos had obvious signs of wear and tear.

"There should be nothing wrong with the photos." Liang En frowned after carefully checking the five photos in front of him.Although compared with the repaired version, it is much blurred, but the important information in it is consistent. "

"In other words, although these things look abnormal, they are actually true?" The expression on Joan's face eased. "It seems that we were a little too nervous before—"

"No, our nervousness may be justified." Liang En, who took off his gloves and gently stroked the letter paper, said suddenly, then put the letter under his nose, sniffed it lightly, and nodded twice.

"The photographs may not be as old as they appear to be, as I smell a very distinct potion, which is usually used to age."

Antique counterfeiting is a very common problem in the antique industry all over the world, and Britain is no exception. Liang En learned a lot about counterfeiting cultural relics from Pierce when he was engaged in this industry.

After touching and sniffing, Liang En was sure that these photos must have been chemically processed in order to make them look older.

After all, few normal people would use carbon 14 to detect antiques when they see them, so this kind of ancient deception still exists today, but it’s a little strange that the professionals hired by Mrs. Hannah didn’t see this.

Because although the oldness on this thing looks like that, anyone who has received professional training should be able to see that the condition of these photos is wrong as long as they check carefully, but no one has ever mentioned this in the previous report.

Randomly selected a photo and used the [Appraisal (N)] card to appraise it, and the result of the appraisal also proved his previous conjecture, because the content of the appraisal showed that this photo was a product of a new photo that had been made old.

"Is this for defrauding money?" Joan of Arc asked in confusion after hearing Liang En's final judgment. "But I think that lady should have someone check these things, and a trick like this shouldn't be able to fool the other party."

"It should be like this under normal circumstances, but the current situation is hard to say." Liang En showed a serious expression. "What if these two groups can collude to cheat?"

"Collusion?" Joan frowned. "I don't think the old Mrs. Hannah should be on guard against this. At least she is a qualified businessman, so it is impossible not to be on guard against this."

"But the problem is that she is running so many industries now, and it is impossible to devote the same energy to each industry, not to mention that she is now older, and there is a high possibility of mistakes in this regard." Liang En quickly thought of a possibility. sex.

"You know, for those rich people, raising an institution is to bring benefits to themselves, and an institution that only spends money for a long time is obviously of little value."

"Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient funds, these institutions often use various means, and the practice of fabricating results like this is one of them."

"It's possible, at least it's much more reasonable than the reason those people told Mrs. Hannah." Jeanne nodded and said. "It's the same as those guys who lied to me about the military when I was leading the army."

After confirming that the five photos were the result of fraud, Liang En felt that he had roughly figured out what tricks these people were up to, but what was strange was that when he checked the "Bible", he found that the situation was completely different from what he thought.

Because this Bible is actually a real antique from a hundred years ago, and at the same time, the important signature on it does not look like something forged later, but seems to have been written almost at the same time as this book.

"There's something wrong with the situation." Liang En felt that things were becoming more and more strange. Facing this situation, he once again consumed the card, and then looked at the content of the card's feedback, dumbfounded.

[The Bible used by the pastor of the Brown Expedition came from the Ottawa Church and accompanied Brown's expedition deep into the Arctic Circle in northern Canada. 】

The surname of the old lady Hannah before she got married was Brown, so if you combine the age of the book and the content it says, you can tell that the "Bible" is indeed a relic of that expedition.

"What's going on here?" Joan of Arc was even more confused after learning of Liang En's appraisal result.Because the current situation is obviously unreasonable.

According to their previous guess, the other party used those fake photos to cheat money, but Liang En and Joan of Arc immediately overturned their original point of view when they confirmed that the "Bible" really belonged to which expedition team.

After all, this Bible is enough for business, as long as it is handed over for a year or two, it will be enough to spend, there is no need to use this kind of fake photo to superfluous.

"I don't know either." Liang En shook his head lightly, "But I think the key to unlocking these secrets should also be in this "Bible" and those few photos."

In addition to the "Bible", the five photos are not normal to recall now, because there are various techniques for photo falsification, but the falsification techniques used here are a bit too rough.

At least the truly high-tech fake photos will never have the special potion smell that can be smelled by the human nose, nor will they be able to feel the difference from normal old photos by human touch.

Although Liang En's strengthened body is indeed much stronger than normal people, these differences can be found out by professionals as long as they are serious.

And when such a thing is put together with the "Bible" which is a real historical relic, it is very obvious. It is not so much a flaw as a clue left by the initiative.

"I think this is someone planning to play an intellectual game with us." Liang En looked at the pile of things in front of him and said, "But it may take some time to find out the answer to this game."
