Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"What information did you see from these patterns?" Fan Meng looked at the patterns carefully, but he was still confused. "Why don't I see anything?"

"This is actually a very simple secret language." Liang En pointed at the patterns with a depressed look. "The pattern itself has no meaning. What is really meaningful is the threads exposed in the pattern."

"For example, the Arabic number 6 has a thread exposed, so it corresponds to the number 1, which is the English letter a. And the one that looks like the Chinese character tic-tac toe corresponds to the number 8, which is the letter h according to the English alphabet."

"And if you translate those letters in the order above, you can spell out a sentence: Whitechapel, George's Apartments, Gate Street."

"You're talking about Whitechapel!" After hearing a certain word, Fan Meng suddenly became excited. Because the place name Whitechapel is too famous for many detective enthusiasts.

For most non-British people, the memory of Whitechapel is the serial murders caused by the famous Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel.

Because that case has never been solved, countless people later created a series of literary, film and television works based on this incident.

Among the more famous ones are "Midnight Murder" and "A Study in Horror" in the Sherlock Holmes series. In addition, many computer games and TV shows in recent decades have been related to this case, making this case an important IP of this era.

A very important reason for this popular situation is that from the past to the present, the area around Whitechapel in the East End of London has been very chaotic, and this has further given rise to various fantasies.

For this reason, Liang En began to doubt the problem of the program itself. After all, the security in the Whitechapel area is still a problem to this day, so it is hard for him to believe that he would do any show in that kind of place.

Thinking of this, Liang En immediately took out his cell phone and started dialing the emergency contact number that the old Mike had left for him. After a few rings, the other party quickly connected.

"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Liang En asked directly as soon as the call was connected. "Why is our next location actually the Whitechapel District? You should know the security of that place -"

"Sorry, this was our mistake." Old Mike's apologetic voice came from the phone. "The fold of the previous book was accidentally changed. You were supposed to go to Buckingham Palace to search for your next target."

If Old Mike had planned to use this mistake to gain greater ratings before, the current situation is completely beyond his control.

In particular, Liang En is not an ordinary treasure hunter. He has now gained a great reputation in ancient Egyptian archaeology, especially Egyptian writing. If something happens, he cannot bear the responsibility.

"Then what should we do next?" Liang En looked at the door, then asked in a low voice. After all, now that the other party has surrendered, it is appropriate to save face for the other party.

"I will compensate you for this. I will pay you an additional 10,000 pounds after the game." Old Mike said honestly, "And the next action depends on what you plan to do next."

"If you still want to go according to the original plan, I will ask Hans to cooperate with you to lead the plan to the original road. And if you want to continue searching according to the current thing, I will help you find a few bodyguards to go in together. Whitechapel."

"——I decided to enter the Whitechapel District." Liang En said after thinking for a few seconds. "After all, the security situation in Whitechapel District is much better now than it was a hundred years ago."

"Although it's still a bit chaotic there because of the South Asian immigrants, there shouldn't be too many problems if you go there during the day. Just remember to leave before dark."

"Okay! Then I will help you find security personnel now. We will agree on a place to meet at that time." After listening to Liang En's words, Old Mike had a smile on his face.

The difference from before is that now he has made it clear about the dangers he may encounter, and Liang En has chosen to continue the trip to Whitechapel. Compared with the original plan, it is obviously more profitable from the perspective of ratings. Get everyone's attention.

While Old Mike was preparing security personnel, Liang Enze, Fan Meng and the others headed straight to London. More than half an hour later, they arrived at the Whitechapel area.

As the Whitechapel district of East London, this place is now regarded as a fashionable and artistic neighbourhood. Many travel recommendations claim that this neighborhood is full of vibrant street culture.

But what the introducers of these scenic spots did not say is that all over the world, especially in the Western world, areas where street culture is active are often also active in various illegal behaviors.

Fortunately, the street was safe enough during the day, and they also gathered security personnel sent by Old Mike. Therefore, we successfully set foot on the gate street that was our target.

"Can we really find what we are looking for?" Looking at the surrounding situation, Fan Meng frowned. "The houses in this area are clearly much younger than the era described on the piece of paper we found."

The reason why Fan Meng said this was because both sides of this street were obviously red brick four-story buildings in the Victorian style. These houses could not have been built in the 17th or 18th century.

"It just depends on luck. If we are lucky, we might be able to find something that was hidden back then." Liang En said, carefully looking at the two rows of houses on both sides.

At the same time, he used the only one in his hand [Detection (R)] against the card he just found, and saw that the point was at the position marked on the note before.

Obviously, the other party most likely put that item underground, because only in this way can the traces be preserved to this day when the buildings on the ground change.

The building above the current target location is a common four-story red brick building on the street. However, because this building is far away from the main street, the overall maintenance level is very average, and it even looks a little dirty.

After getting closer, Liang Encai discovered that this building was even worse than it seemed, because this building was now sublet to many people, and the financial situation of these tenants obviously seemed a bit bad.

"What should we do next?" Looking at the colorful graffiti on the walls on both sides, even Hans, the cameraman, became nervous.

"Find the owner of this house and get the excavation permission from him or her." After looking at the surroundings outside the door, Liang En snapped his fingers.

Fortunately, this house is always for rent, so the landlord’s contact information is posted on the door. After the call was made and the purpose of the visit was explained, the other party quickly came here with a lawyer.

Because this was an unexpected excavation work, Old Mike did not make corresponding preparations. Fortunately, after a simple exchange, the landlord here agreed to Liang En's excavation work.

But what was different from what was expected was that the other party did not ask for half of what was excavated as usual, but instead asked to pay him 2,000 pounds in cash.
