Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Morse code should be typed out using a transmitter." After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately fell into thinking. "In other words, the other party may want to remind us that these words were produced by tapping."

"And the mobile phone that can display text by tapping." Following a certain line of thinking, Liang En subconsciously thought of the mobile phone, but soon realized that it was definitely not this.

"No, not to mention mobile phones in that era, even telephone calls were not common." He shook his head, then suddenly raised his head and looked at his two companions. "I thought about it, yes, that should be it."

"Like I just said, showing this phrase in Morse code was to focus our attention on typing, and the most common thing that could type words at that time was the typewriter."

"Typewriter!" Pierce and Fan Meng both showed puzzled expressions at the same time, and then Pierce asked. “But is there any difference between typing on a typewriter and writing by hand here?”

"Of course, considering that the other party is British, he should use an English typewriter." Liang En said excitedly, while using his mobile phone to bring up a pattern of a typewriter keyboard.

"This kind of English typewriter has almost the same button layout as the current conventional computer keyboard, which means that the top of each vertical column of letters corresponds to a number."

"And if you match these numbers one by one according to my previous method, you will find that the number corresponding to this word is 9943 697."

"This may be a password somewhere, or something similar." Pierce obviously had some experience in this area, so he began to guess. "But we have to ask the two Mr. Scouds about this."

"Since the Scood family has such a close family relationship, then his family members should also know something. At the same time, the fact that the other party engraved this information on the back of the portrait pendant should also be a reminder of this."

"It's very likely that this has something to do with the bank." When Liang En took the evidence alone to find Mr. Scold, the old man really only answered after a short period of thinking.

"This is an agreement we made before. If we want to leave any traces in an emergency, we will find a bank to rent a safe for 99 years, and then leave the information to other family members."

"I guess that was what my brother was talking about in the letter he wanted to send back in Trabzon, but unfortunately the letter was burned."

"And it is impossible for me to investigate the bank without obtaining key information. Otherwise, this kind of movement would be enough for those who killed my brother to get the things in the bank in advance and destroy them."

"I think the only good thing is that those people may have had time and chose to burn the letters instead of peeking at them. So the secrets hidden by my brother should have been preserved to this day."

"So my last plan is to wait for 99 years to pass, or after the bank collapses, and let my descendants find a way to find my brother's belongings from the things that have been cleared in the bank, and then find the clues he left behind."

"But now we have a better plan." At this point, Old Scord's face showed a smile, "I think the number you found is probably the bank's vault number and password."

But we don't have the key. "Liang En said suddenly. "Don't you need a key to open a bank safe? But I didn't find any keys or anything related to keys. "

"In the past, this kind of private safe did not necessarily require a key. Some only needed the safe's number, password and agreed private imprint." Old Skold looked at Fan Meng and explained.

"It was very important to my brother because if it was the key it would have gone missing with him and it would have been meaningless."

"But how do we determine which bank is behind these two numbers?" Liang En asked puzzledly. "According to the timeline, this thing should be hidden in Istanbul, but there are many banks in that place."

"There may not be many banks that can open 99-year safes that don't require a key," the elder Scold said with a smile. "I have paid special attention to these and have previously targeted three banks."

"As for the mark, actually all members of our family have two, carry one with them and store one at home. I will give you the mark that belongs to my brother that is stored at home."

After chatting with Old Scold, Liang En left the room with a cross. The so-called mark was a very simple cross with a small seal on one end. In addition, there are only a few simple patterns on the cross.

This is a characteristic of Lutheranism. If you go to several Lutheran countries in Northern Europe, you will find that the religious-related facilities in these places are very simple and not as complicated as orthodox Catholicism.

"It seems that our next step is to go to Constantinople." Pierce said after Liang En returned to the room and told his two companions all the information he had just obtained in the exchange.

"I went there with my father during the summer vacation of my sophomore year. To be honest, that place is indeed a good place to do antique business. You can buy a lot of good things, but thieves and gangsters are too too much."

"Anyway, we're not going to buy antiques this time, so we just need to watch our wallets on the way." Liang En said with a shrug. "But if we can find clues in the bank, the real journey has just begun."

"Yes, after all, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Conrad to appear in Constantinople." Fan Meng added at this time. "So we have to be prepared, especially for field operations."

"Don't worry, our family knows a lot of people, and we have always had some reliable channels to get a lot of important items." Pierce lowered his voice and said in a voice that only three people could hear.

"So if you need anything that is not easy to say, you can write me a note. As long as you don't go too far, I can basically find a way to get it."

"That's good." Fan Meng nodded, then walked aside and started writing in his notebook. As the security leader of this team, he naturally had a lot of things to prepare.

"Most of them can be obtained. A few of them just depend on luck." After Fan Meng finished writing the cake, he tore off the piece of paper from his notebook and handed it to Pierce. Pierce glanced at it and said, then turned to Liang En asked. "By the way, how much time do we have to prepare?"

"The time given by the other party is very generous in this regard. As long as we can leave within a week." Liang En said briefly recalling it. "They said they would fly us to Constantinople on a private jet."

"Private jet!" Pierce and Fan Meng asked at the same time, because for most people, private jet is just a noun, and they will never have the opportunity to have close contact in their lifetime.

"Yes, because we are going to operate in secret this time." Liang En nodded, "So in order to avoid some unexpected situations, the Scood family is willing to use a private plane to send us there."
