Treasure hunt begins in England

853 Lock the target
"So to sum it up, it can be judged that the places where Mary's treasures are hidden must meet the following conditions." After communicating with Liang En for a while, Joan of Arc came to a conclusion.

"First of all, the treasure location must have a large space, at least two carriages worth of treasures can be hidden, because at this time, the possibility of overall hidden exposure is much greater than that of scattered hidden ones."

"That's right." Liang En nodded in appreciation, because if the treasures are scattered and buried, the probability of being found is very high, and as long as one treasure is found, those diggers will realize that there is a treasure here, and then Carry out targeted mining.

To be honest, the core of hiding treasures is not to let people realize that there are treasures in the treasure location, otherwise no matter how hidden the hiding is, no amount of traps around will be able to stop those greedy treasure hunters.

"Secondly, there is a high probability that this location is above sea level. If it is placed in a monastery, it will not be lower than one meter below the ground." After hearing Liang En's praise, Joan first smiled, and then said.

"As for the reason, you have already said before, this place is not only close to the sea, but also has a high underground water table, so any attempt to put these things underground will destroy these things."

"In the end, there is a high probability that that thing should be hidden in a certain building structure in the house, because only in this way can so many treasures be hidden under the condition of meeting the above prerequisites."

Clap, clap, clap—right after Joan finished speaking, Liang En clapped his hands. "Your analysis is very correct, especially the final conclusion is exactly the same as my previous guess."

"So what we did next was also very simple, and that was to search the older parts of the monastery, especially the part that remains today from a long time ago."

After finishing the analysis, Liang En and the others started the search.Because of the clear direction.So they quickly launched a survey of the oldest part of the received house.

The first thing to investigate was the main building, but they didn't find anything of value until 3:00 pm after they searched the entire main building.

"Those things shouldn't be here, but then again, this should be within our expectations." After taking out two handkerchiefs and handing them to Liang En, she said while wiping her face.

"Based on my understanding of the monastery, this main building used to be the core building of the monastery, and a series of religious places like prayer rooms were built here."

"If this is the case, there are often people on duty all day long in such places, so it is difficult to maintain privacy when you want to hide things, especially things with two carriages."

"More importantly, as the activity center of the monastery, people come and go every day. If you want to hide something in the building structure, it is basically impossible not to leave clues."

"Yes, the situation should be like this in theory." Liang En nodded and said, "And during the survey just now, we also found that this building is pursuing transparency, and there are not many places where secret rooms or mezzanines can be built."

"Although there are a few pillars that are very suspicious, I don't think any idiot would choose to dig holes in those heavy pillars, otherwise the whole building would not be preserved to this day."

"And you also need to consider the issue of man-hours. After all, when we inspected before, we found that the stones were very tightly combined with the ancient Roman cement. It is definitely not something that can be done in a short time if you want to make holes in them with primitive hand tools. ’” Joan of Arc said suddenly.

"And such a secret room or mezzanine that can be kept secret for a hundred years must be very ingeniously designed. Let alone five days, I estimate that it would be impossible to design and build it in 50 days."

"But have you ever considered such a possibility?" Liang En said seriously after hearing Joan's point of view, "What if the secret room or the extra floor existed in advance?"

"You know, if Mary's attendant chooses to be a monastery's treasurer, it must not be chosen randomly, especially if the attendant is not a local."

"So I guess this monastery should have some places that are very suitable for hiding a batch of items, and even have staff to support them, otherwise they would not choose to hide here."

"If that's the case, then why doesn't Mary know all of this?" After listening to Liang En's narration, Joan of Arc retorted after thinking for a few seconds.

"I guess it may be because this is one of the countless secrets of the French royal family. The queen may not know it well, just like she would never know what the kitchen of the palace looks like after living in the palace." Liang En replied.

For those nobles, they have too many things to care about, so they are unlikely to pay attention to the details around them, especially things that should not belong to them in a certain theory.

After all, the hierarchical system in Europe before the French Revolution was deeply ingrained. Everyone has been prescribed what to do, and they must not cross that line.

To give the simplest example, there were many types of servants in the palace at that time, and each performed their own duties. For example, those who managed the tableware would never touch clothes.

"You're right." Joan was persuaded, she nodded and asked. "Then where do you think those treasures should be hidden?"

"We've actually been ignoring a place before." Liang En raised his index finger and pointed to the sky, then said. "We haven't checked what's going on above the ceiling at all."

"Ceiling, how is this possible?" Jeanne frowned, "You have to consider that these things are likely to fall under the action of gravity, and it's too unsafe to hide here."

"Oh, my point of view is exactly the opposite of yours." Liang En took out his mobile phone and showed the photo he had taken before, which was part of the dome of the lobby of the main building. "This place has not been renovated before, because the dome is painted with religious murals painted almost at the same time as the monastery, so when it was renovated, a layer of plexiglass was simply added here for tourists to watch."

"I don't think there's anything strange about this." Jeanne looked carefully at the photo in her hand and said, "As a monastery, isn't it normal to have such religious murals?"

"Yes, you are right, but in fact there are some abnormalities in these murals." Liang En said, pointing to those murals.

"These murals, "The Stories of the Bible", depict the part from the creation of man by the gods to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, but if you look carefully, you will find that Eve's fingers are almost pointing in the same direction."

"Hmm—" Jeanne looked around after hearing the words, and then nodded seriously. "So do you think there is something where the other party's finger is?"

"Yes, that's my guess." Liang En said, pointing to the dome on the picture, "There is a gap between the inside and the outside of this dome, and according to my calculations, it can fit the contents of two carriages. "

"At the same time, because of the existence of the stone arch, it is not difficult to bear these weights, so I guess that there is a high probability that those things are hidden above the stone arch."
