Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Liang En originally thought that the acquisition work would stop after something like this happened. It was time for him to go back home, but he didn't expect that the acquisition work would continue.

Although Liang En was not clear about the specific details, with the efforts of Mr. Skod, Mr. Skod and the Nedved family reached an agreement and completed the acquisition.

After a complete inspection, they found that the museum had much bigger problems than the previous documents. In addition to many valuable collections being stolen and sold, the other party had also misappropriated large sums of funds elsewhere.

The misappropriation of these funds has caused many problems, not to mention the arrears of water, electricity and salary ranging from two months to half a year, nor the withdrawal of all the working capital from the museum's books. Just the long-term lack of maintenance has led to the accumulation of repairs. The maintenance cost is not small.

More importantly, Nedved's previous hostile behavior indeed made Liang En and the others very uncomfortable, so his family naturally had to find ways to compensate.

As a result, after this series of circumstances were combined, Mr. Skold successfully bought the museum and three other properties in Prague and suburbs for 21 million euros, and gave one of the properties to Liang En.

"I heard that this place was a Gestapo office of the German occupying forces during World War II, so you might really be able to find something interesting in it." When going through the handover procedures, Skold said to Liang En.

Liang En naturally accepted the gift. After all, this time he saved Mr. Scood's life and helped him recover huge losses, so he deserved such a reward.

This house is located in a small town on the outskirts of Prague. It is a two-story small building on the riverside. You can see this small building with a red roof and yellow walls from a distance.

The area of ​​the entire building is not large, covering an area of ​​about 170 square meters, and there are no courtyards in the front or rear. Fortunately, there is a few meters distance from the street at the back door of the house to the river, which is just enough to park a car.

"This house feels a bit run-down." Looking at the two-story building in front of him, Fan Meng shook his head slightly, because he saw that the exterior walls of the house were obviously mottled due to lack of maintenance for a long time, and the window glass was also stained. A few pieces shattered.

"I read that the previous information said that this house has not been maintained for five years. Because the facilities inside are too old, no one rented it after the last tenant moved out, and no one did any maintenance at the same time." Liang En He said and opened the door with the key.

According to the information I read before, many shops have been opened in this house, but none of them lasted more than a year and a half. The main reason is that the house is blocked by a building in front, so it is difficult for tourists on the street to see it. .

The last person to rent this store was a coffee shop, so in addition to the sign in front of the door, they could also see the bar counter, tables and chairs when they entered.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the previous tenant left in a hurry, so most of the things were left in place, such as a coffee grinder on the bar and a bottle on the table with plastic flowers inside.

"I don't think anything can be discovered in this place." Joan looked at the situation in front of her and said, "Half a century has passed since the end of World War II, and this place has also changed countless operators, so it should be Nothing is left.”

"It's hard to say." Liang En shook his head, "Don't forget that this was the office of the German intelligence agency during World War II. Ordinary people may not be able to find the things they hid."

Although everyone is skeptical that there is no treasure hidden in this place, for them, even if the possibility of hiding treasure in this building is small, it is worth searching.

So the three of them quickly identified the locations they wanted to search, and then each took a metal detector and tools and started searching.

The first target was of course the attic, because in the past people kept things either in the basement or attic. Considering that the search workload in the basement would be relatively large, Liang En and the others placed the first search target in the attic.

However, when they came to the attic, they found that the situation was completely different from what they imagined. At least judging from the items on this floor and the overall condition, the entire attic was probably renovated a few years ago.

"It must have been renovated at least four or five times." After using a small saw to cut off a piece of wooden board that was slightly rotten due to the leakage of the roof, Liang En muttered after scraping the paint on the board with a knife.

The reason why I say this is very simple. There are several layers of paint on this wooden board. Judging from the degree of oxidation of those paints, the oldest paint is probably nearly a hundred years old, and the subsequent layers are added up. The paint looks like the place gets a facelift on average every 20 years.

Obviously, it is difficult to keep any secrets in such a frequently renovated room, and this is exactly the case. They found some mezzanines that were obviously artificially excavated from the walls and floors of the room, but there was nothing inside.

"It seems that someone has already jumped in first." Fan Meng took out a handful of residue that looked like a mixture of asphalt and wood shavings from an open mezzanine on the wall, threw it into the garbage basket, and then said.

"These things should be packaging used to preserve certain items, mainly used for sealing. The fact that they appear here shows that something was indeed hidden in this place, but it has now been taken away."

"Why aren't these things the walls or the materials used in the house itself?" Jeanne asked with some confusion. “I remember in traditional construction asphalt was often used for waterproofing and wood shavings for insulation.”

"You're right, but that kind of thermal insulation and waterproofing method is mainly used on wooden structures." Liang En nodded, then pointed to the wall.

"And this wall is a stone wall, and the outer layer of wood is just a decoration, so there is no need for these waterproof and thermal insulation designs in this place."

Considering that it is no secret that this place was once the headquarters of the Gestapo, the previous owner of this room must have searched the place more than once after Germany's defeat in 1998.

More importantly, according to the information previously found, this building should not have suffered any damage during the battle, which means that the Germans inside originally evacuated on their own initiative.

Considering that these Gestapo people would be shot directly once they were arrested by the Soviets, there was a high probability that this group of people would have run away before the Soviet army attacked, and they would naturally take those important things with them when they ran away.

Therefore, it may always be a mystery who took away the things in the hidden mezzanine, but for Liang En and the others, no matter who took these things away, it is the same to them, and it represents them. There is no gain in this regard.

After searching the whole place and finding nothing, Liang En, who did not believe in evil, used the boxes and furniture placed in the attic to build a ladder, and then started searching with a metal detector.

"What is this?" Just as he moved the detector to the wooden beam, he accidentally heard an alarm sound coming from the metal detector's earphones.
