Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After taking a look at the shabby elevator and confirming that the target in his mind was on the fifth floor, Liang En immediately pushed open the fire escape door and walked up the mottled concrete stairs.

Judging from the blackened paint on the wall and the emergency lights that were obviously installed later, the maintenance condition of this building is not very optimistic. Fortunately, almost all the light bulbs can light up, indicating that this building is still inspected and maintained. .

After arriving at the target location, Liang Enfa found something glowing under the wall. Fortunately, after careful observation, he realized that the thing was a house number, but it was covered up due to repeated painting.

"The deceased's cemetery is connected by the card to the house number of the house where he lived during his lifetime. This connection is interesting." Liang En thought about it and touched the house number, then pressed the doorbell.

The doorbell did not ring, and the dust above dyed Liang En's fingers black and gray. At the same time, Fan Meng used the light on his mobile phone to find that there was dust everywhere on the door handle. It must be that no one had lived in the room for a long time.

"The door number is in the wrong position." After carefully observing the doors on both sides of the corridor, Jeanne suddenly discovered something unusual. "This house number is higher than the normal house number."

"Maybe it was accidentally knocked off and then re-nailed." Fan Meng didn't think there was anything unusual about this situation. Although the door number was nailed there with two nails, it was definitely not indestructible.

"What you said makes sense, but the problem is that normal people will habitually choose to be the same as others. It is not common to be different from others. It is more like wanting to express something." Liang En frowned. head, and then used a knife to remove the door number.

When he took off the house number, his right index finger immediately touched what seemed to be something behind the house number. So he immediately put away the door number and left the house with Fan Meng and the others.

"What did you find just now?" Fan Meng asked in a low voice as he walked down the stairs. Liang En's action just now clearly meant that he was so nervous after he discovered something.

"There are engravings on the back of the house number." Liang En said in a low voice as well. "Things are getting more and more interesting now. I believe this should be some information left by the deceased to those who come after him."

Ever since Liang En learned through the card that the deceased was murdered and disguised as an accidental death, he knew there was something wrong with the whole thing, and now that he saw these messages, he was even more sure of it.

Of course, there would be certain dangers in searching for the answer to this question in this case, but considering the possible benefits and the secrecy brought about by using cards during the investigation, Liang En felt that he could Give this place a try.

After they exited the building and came to an open space outside the building, they quickly used the bright light of the street lights outside to check the lettering on the house number, and saw a very simple place name.

"Progress Community, Building 3." After translating this sentence into Russian, Fan Meng frowned. Because of the huge similarities between Ukrainian and Russian, it is not difficult to translate such a short sentence.

But the problem is that the name "Progress Community" was very common in the Soviet era. After all, the Soviets' urban construction plans were somewhat uniform, and adjectives like "Progress" were often used to name various institutions or communities.

"Can you tell anything from the style of this house plate?" Liang En asked after scraping off the whitewash on the house plate with a knife.

"It's difficult, because almost all of these things are custom-made, and you can even find exactly the same oval-shaped house numbers in two cities far apart from the Volga River to Siberia." Fan Meng shook his head and said.

Because they couldn't find any clues from the door number for the time being, they put the thing into a gold-plated silver box that kept various small things, and then went straight to the hotel they had booked in advance.

After all, it was already dark now, and it was obviously no longer suitable for the next work, so they planned to take a rest for the night and at the same time check the situation of the previously vacant room through Fan Meng's grandfather, who was now the chief of a police station in a suburb of Kiev.

When they got up early the next morning and had a simple breakfast to prepare to go to the local archives to look for clues, Grandpa Fan Meng also brought them some important information.

The information his grandfather checked proved that the resident of this room until the early 1990s was Andre Rotan. According to the records in the information, this person previously worked in a metallurgical research institute, but mysteriously disappeared in 1993.

However, his wife and children had immigrated to Canada half a year before he disappeared. Although the entire immigration process was obviously irregular, there were many such things during that time. If we check now, at least half of the immigrants at that time were not very compliant. .

In addition, the information also pointed out that this person seemed to be involved in a certain case. The police had always hoped to monitor him before his disappearance, but pressure from above forced the police to abandon this plan.

As for the details of what the case was, it was impossible to find out. After all, it was the limit of what could be found without alerting others. As an old policeman, Fan Meng's grandfather knew where the dangerous boundary was.

"This is enough for us. Thank you grandpa for me." Liang En nodded to Fan Meng who was sending a reply. Although the information did not have any detailed content, it was possible to confirm that the deceased Andre Luo was Tan does have a problem.

After obtaining the specific identities of the deceased's wife and children, Liang En also inquired about the other party's whereabouts through his own connections, and found out that the other party was now living an ordinary life in Toronto and looked no different from other new immigrants.

The only difference from other immigrants is that every year they entrust the Russians to publish missing person notices in three newspapers in Moscow to find Andre Rotan, who died more than 20 years ago.

"In other words, the deceased's purpose was to go to Moscow." After seeing this information, Liang En quickly came to a conclusion. However, considering a series of issues such as distance and possibility, they felt that they should start with this house number. It’s more appropriate to look for clues online.

Because this house number is obviously a clue to others, and previous inspections can also confirm that this house number is the only clue in that building, so it should be very directional.

Considering that there were no other clues in the local area and all the equipment they had brought was placed at Fan Meng's grandfather's house, they simply took another flight and returned to Kiev overnight.

"That is to say, there is a high probability that there is some information on this house number that we have ignored and have not found." Liang En said while sitting on an overturned empty oil drum.

After arriving at Grandpa Fan Meng's house, Liang En and the three of them sat in the garage where the equipment was stored and began to study the house number. However, they used special tools to clean off the white powder on the wall and found nothing more. Lots of text.

"I think it would be more appropriate to use all the equipment we brought to detect this house number. Maybe we can find some clues." Joan of Arc put forward an opinion at this time, so everyone immediately moved out various equipment to study it.

Neither the electronic magnifying glass nor the portable X-ray machine found anything, but when they turned on the Geiger counter and approached the house number, the Geiger counter beeped immediately.
