Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The relationship between Americans and British is very interesting. On the one hand, both sides look down on each other. Americans think that Britain has become outdated, while Britain thinks that Americans are upstarts.

But on the other hand, both sides are countries with the Anglo-Saxon nation as the main nation, and they also have a lot of common interests, so there are some connections that are constantly confusing and confusing. Therefore, after getting rich, both parties like to buy houses and land from each other.

It's just that the British mainly buy large estates in the United States, while Americans are accustomed to buying some historic buildings in the UK. The summary is that both parties are looking for what they lack in the other party.

Therefore, it is very common for an American to come to the UK to buy a historic home after getting rich. Especially the home purchased by the Lewis couple this time is located near Cambridge, which can very well reflect the owner's taste.

As for the reason why the couple wanted to ask Liang En to help them inspect the house, it was also very simple, because the house was sold to them as a whole package. They want to learn more about their home in this way.

For ordinary people, this approach is indeed a bit strange, but everyone also knows that rich people often have some little hobbies of their own.

For Liang En, this kind of little hobby belonging to the rich is very worthy of encouragement. Because it is precisely because of this demand that an industry like his can be provided with a sufficient market.

After making a decision and calling the other party to make an appointment, Liang En drove Pierce's father's SUV straight to Cambridge early the next morning.

"Have you brought everything?" After starting the car, Liang En asked, holding the steering wheel.

"Don't worry, boss, I have brought all the metal detectors, crowbars, and various temporary tools." Fan Meng looked at the pile of tools beside him and in the trunk and said, "The only thing I can do now is to hope that the other party will The residential area should not be too large.”

"Don't worry, it's definitely a big deal." Pierce, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with determination: "I checked their house before on the Internet. It is a single-family villa in the city with six bedrooms, a garden and an outdoor swimming pool."

"Although I haven't found the exact area of ​​this property, according to the satellite map, this property is only a few hundred square meters. If the three of us work together, we can definitely finish it in one day -"

Cambridge is not too far from London, so about an hour after setting off, the car drove into this city with a long history.

Although everyone knows that the University of Cambridge was established later than the University of Oxford, the city of Cambridge is by no means a new city. Cambridge has been an important city in Britain since Roman times.

Before the city became famous as the University of Cambridge, it was the most important port city on the Cam River and the trade center of the entire Cam River basin.

Because it is a trade center, this city is more open than Oxford, so it looks more modern than Oxford. Of course, this kind of modernity is incomparable to places like London.

"My parents took me on a trip to Cambridge and Oxford when I was a child. They also told me that it would be best to get admitted here." When the car entered the city of Cambridge, Fan Meng looked at the buildings on the roadside with a nostalgic look. .

"Me too, it seems that many Chinese parents do this." When Fan Meng said this, Liang En also suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child. "It's a mixture of expectations for children and dreams of parents."

Liang En's father was a graduate student who graduated in the 1980s. If he hadn't dragged his family away for land, he might have been able to stay in China and become a professor at a university.

Therefore, he naturally hopes that Liang En can embark on a path to gain a better life through learning and become a lawyer, engineer or teacher, rather than a businessman or something.

This is why Liang En's father didn't feel very happy when he earned 1 million pounds. But when Liang En published the article in the magazine, he was very excited.

To be honest, this seems to be a common habit among Chinese people. That is to hope to change destiny through knowledge, not anything else.

Therefore, when Liang En was young, his parents naturally visited Cambridge and Oxford, two academic holy places in the eyes of ordinary people, and encouraged Liang En at the same time.

It's a pity that if you want to be admitted to such a top university, you must have parents who can afford it. Either I have enough talent, hard work and a little bit of luck. So Liang En naturally couldn't come here.

Soon, the car passed through the center of Cambridge and stopped at the door of a room surrounded by neatly trimmed hedges.

"Welcome-" After the doorbell rang, a servant verified their identities and opened the door. Then in the living room, a couple who looked about 40 years old welcomed Liang En.

"Nice to meet you." Liang En said after saying hello, "The main purpose of you inviting me here is to inspect this house and find some things that you have overlooked, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Mr. Lewis nodded. "We wanted to understand the history of the house in this way. After all, the previous owner of the house was not the first owner of the house, so a lot of things are unknown."

"You probably haven't done any large-scale renovations on this house, right?" Liang En asked after briefly checking the room accompanied by the owner.

"Yes, except for the bedroom and bathroom, which we briefly decorated, we basically didn't touch the rest of the room." Mr. Lewis nodded.

"The reason why we bought this house was because we liked the original classical style inside, so except for some things related to daily life, we mainly cleaned the rest of the room and didn't make much changes."

"Understood, let's start searching now." Liang En nodded lightly and then said. "If there is any potentially damaging content, we will notify you in advance."

Unlike ordinary rooms, such wealthy people often have special rooms for storing various items. Therefore, the attic method that Liang En usually uses when hunting for treasures naturally loses its effectiveness at this time.

Therefore, unlike the previous method of going straight to the attic when searching for items in the room, Liang En and the others honestly used metal detectors to detect the items from the first floor this time.

"I found something here." Less than three minutes after he started exploring the living room, Fan Meng's metal detector rang. It turned out that the other party detected a metal reaction between the decorative wooden boards and the wall.

Because Liang En changed all the metal detectors to high-end products after making money last time, they were able to distinguish the difference between ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. And now the metal detector detects that the things in the wall are non-ferrous metals.

Considering that the probability of using copper as a building material in this kind of house is low, the things found should not be components of the building itself.

"This is a one-krona silver horse sword coin." After moving the fiber optic detector from the car, Liang En inserted the probe into a gap in the wooden decorative panel, and soon he discovered what the target was.
