Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The first thing Liang En used the card to see was the situation on the day of the incident. Judging from the images read out, this group of people seemed to be habitual thieves, so they were able to remove everything in just ten minutes. Load it all into the car outside.

You must know that many of the things lost this time include stone sculptures weighing hundreds or even hundreds of kilograms. It is not an easy task for ordinary people to move these big things.

Even though these things were packed with wooden boards and sacks and placed on movable platforms due to temporary placement, it was not something ordinary people could do to move them out in such a short time.

After fast-forwarding to the first two days, Liang En discovered that just as he had imagined, these thieves had come to this room disguised as tourists before and took many photos.

Being fully prepared, these thieves seemed very relaxed during the entire moving process, and even spoke a lot of gibberish with obvious southern American accents.

From what the other party said, Liang En learned that this group of people had already stepped in and bribed the guards, so they could get here so easily.

Think about it, after all, this museum is located in a school, so even if the school is an open school, it is not easy to take a lot of things out.

Especially in those days when there were not many electronic security facilities, the guard work mainly relied on people and dogs, and it was impossible to bypass so many people and successfully leave with things without paying off the guards.

The reason why the other party chose Chinese cultural relics to start with is also very simple. After all, Chinese cultural relics were not very famous in that era, so the search caused by stealing these cultural relics would theoretically be smaller in scale.

However, because the two guards at the exit were killed, the police and the museum who later came to investigate were not able to obtain much detailed information about the criminals.

From this, we can probably see that this group of robbers was extremely vicious, and the reason why they killed the guards was probably because the two guards had been bribed by them before and could recognize them.

Therefore, in order to avoid being exposed during police inquiries later, these robbers simply killed the guards to ensure that they would not be exposed.

Perhaps because these thieves were all professional criminals, they wore gloves and covered their faces with hoods during the entire robbery. Liang En could not see their faces clearly even when he activated the skill card.

But this does not mean that Liang En did not find valuable information during this period of time. On the one hand, through the light of the street lamp, he saw that the car used to commit the crime was a transport truck with a huge Budweiser beer logo on it. .

On the other hand, from the chats of these people, he learned that this group of people planned to meet in a bar warehouse called Oak and Barley after acquiring it, and try to find a buyer.

These points coincided with the information in Liang En's hands, because the investigation records left by the police included records that the robber drove a Budweiser beer transport truck.

In addition, the records record that after the loss of these cultural relics, the local police immediately searched the city's Budweiser beer transport trucks based on clues, but did not find the vehicle.

Liang En had always been curious about how such a big truck disappeared, especially how to break through the layers of interceptions by the police who reacted quickly at the time.

Now, through backtracking, he realized that the truck was not a Budweiser truck at all, but just a truck with a red cabin with a Budweiser label drawn on paper to imitate a beer truck.

Although this kind of thing is a bit rough, because the other party committed the crime at night, and the witnesses were relatively far away, they did not see the problem.

Obviously, this group of thieves had indeed made a lot of preparations before this, and they were even able to use this seemingly simple, but actually ingenious method to confuse the Philadelphia police at the time.

However, it was not easy to find a red truck, especially since the angle of the pillar meant that he could only look outside through the window, so he could not see the license plate underneath.

Of course, considering that this group of people can use stickers to disguise their vehicles as beer delivery trucks, the possibility of this group of people hiding their license plates or getting fake ones is not small.

After recording this important clue in his mind, he focused on the place name he heard before, that is, finding the location of the oak and barley bar he heard before.

Fortunately, this place was the University of Pennsylvania, so Liang En easily entered the school library using the name of a scholar, and then with the help of the library staff, he found this bar from the pile of materials about the history of Philadelphia.

This is a bar that started operating in the 1920s. According to records, this place was just a tavern at the beginning, but with the advent of the Prohibition era, this place quickly turned into a speakeasy.

Although it is a bit far from the city, this place was very famous throughout the prohibition era because of its high security. World War II and the subsequent boom period brought this bar to its peak.

However, after entering the 1960s, the bar gradually declined due to the aging of its facilities, and was finally abandoned. Today it is completely abandoned.

Judging from the photos collected in the university museum, people have come and gone over the years, and after it was abandoned, the contents inside were basically emptied by homeless people, so it is unlikely that those treasures are still there.

But for Liang En, as long as the building is still there, he can use the cards to search for further clues to locate the missing treasures.

When Liang En borrowed books from the library, he wanted to know about the changes in buildings in West Philadelphia, so he naturally borrowed a lot of materials.

Considering that what he wanted could easily arouse suspicion, after finding what he wanted, he began to look at other information, and in that pile of information, there was a conflict that occurred three days after the robbery. Attracted Liang En.

According to the information, a gang conflict broke out less than two blocks away from the bar. Four black gang members were killed in the clashes, while a truck and a car were set on fire.

More importantly, the document included a photo of a burned-out car. Although the black and white photo couldn't tell what kind of paint the car was originally painted on, Liang En immediately recognized that the burned truck was the truck he had seen through the card before.

"Do you have more detailed information on this?" Soon, Liang En found the library staff and asked for information about this conflict.

"Sorry, we should have the most complete information here. These ancient files have long expired, so even the files kept by the police are not as comprehensive as ours."

After hearing Liang En's question, the staff member thought about it seriously and then said. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Liang, is there anything else you need help with besides this?"

"No, thank you." After thanking the staff member, Liang En quickly returned the books and materials he had borrowed before, and then walked out of the library to join Jeanne and the others.

Obviously, those cultural relic thieves probably died in this conflict, and the victorious party in the end burned the bodies and vehicles to completely cover up the traces in order to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

This is why the whereabouts of the thieves have not been found for so many years, because all valuable things were burned, and it was difficult to find traces from the burned corpses and items under the crude forensic conditions at that time. value information.

Therefore, the police at that time did not connect these dead people with the robbery at all. They just regarded it as a common gang fire and closed the case. This information has been sealed in the files until Liang En saw it today.
