Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Liang En is very happy that the documentary about his last Arctic expedition will be broadcast in September this year. This season is also the annual broadcast season for various American TV stations.

Although under normal circumstances, this broadcast season generally refers to the broadcast of various TV series, but now it has also been extended to the content broadcast by all TV stations, and documentaries are naturally not exempt.

To be honest, Liang En was a little surprised that it would be broadcast in September, because in his impression, the documentaries broadcast in September were usually the documentaries that the TV station planned to promote.

Compared with content that explores the Pyramid Puzzle, the War of the Roses in England, and the Hundred Years War in France, Liang En believes that content about the Arctic expedition is obviously incomparable to these important historical events.

But Mr. Scord told him that this is mainly because compared to other familiar content, Arctic exploration is obviously known to fewer people, so it is more interesting.

What's more important is that the entire discovery process was filmed, which is also very rare in the history of documentaries. Therefore, it is normal for this unprecedented documentary to be focused on.

After chatting for a while, Liang En and Jeanne were arranged into a guest room. Through the window of the guest room, they could see a large tent that looked like 200 to 300 square meters being set up. Obviously, this should be the venue for the party. .

A lot of people were busy moving things into the tent, and some people who were obviously going to be performing at the party were rehearsing in the venue.

Different from birthday parties held by ordinary people, parties held by wealthy people are obviously much larger in scale. A party like the one below is estimated to cost 70,000 to 80,000 euros to host, not counting the gifts prepared.

By the next day, Liang En successfully acted as the special guest at the banquet and presented a copy of the archaeological notes of the Arctic trip that he had re-copied for Mr. Scood's granddaughter. Went for a surprise.

However, for the adults who came to the party, they naturally could not come just to attend a little girl's birthday party, but took this opportunity to engage in some social activities.

As a scholar, Liang En could not chat with most of the wealthy guests here, so he simply found a corner to get something to eat with Jeanne.

As a result, while the two were sharing the food and evaluating today's dishes, a woman in her 60s came over and started chatting with Liang En.

Through the woman's self-introduction, Liang En learned that she was a Spaniard born in France and had been living in France from birth to now.

The reason why she was able to recognize Liang En was that she was also a friend of Mr. Scoud, and she had just watched the news about Liang En broadcast on French TV not long ago and looked up information about him.

The reason why he came together was also very clear, that is, after confirming Liang En's identity, he hoped to ask him to help him do something.

"Do you want to help you find your grandfather?" After listening to what the other party said, Liang En asked the lady sitting across the table, whose husband's surname was Alkader, somewhat uncertainly.

"I'm just a historian, so looking for certain historical entities is indeed within the scope of my career, but if you're looking for people, I think it would be better for you to go to those private investigators."

"You are right, but the problem is that my grandfather has been missing for more than sixty years, so I think it is better to ask a historian for help at this time." Mrs. Alkader looked at Liang En and said.

"He went to Spain in 1954, before I was born, saying he was going to see an old friend of his, but he never came back."

"Because of his disappearance, we specially asked many people to search for him, and even inquired through diplomatic means, but we were never able to find any clues about my grandfather. The only official answer we got was that his whereabouts were unknown."

"This does sound a bit strange." Mrs. Arcade's story did attract Liang En's curiosity, so he adjusted his sitting position and became serious. "Have you ever asked your grandfather's friend?"

"Of course, of course we asked." Mrs. Alkader immediately replied, "But whether it was a direct inquiry or the information obtained from the side, it proves that my grandfather disappeared after visiting him, and they have no idea what happened next. Not sure."

"I really want to find the whereabouts of my grandfather, at least before my father passes away. After all, he is not young anymore." At this point, Mrs. Alkader also offered her own reward.

"If the exact whereabouts of my grandfather can be found, I will pay you a reward that is absolutely satisfactory to you. Even if you can't find it, I will also pay you and your entourage the corresponding living expenses and travel expenses."

At the beginning, Liang En did not intend to take on this job. After all, he now had enough material and money, and the job of finding people was not very rewarding compared to searching for treasures, so he did not want to waste it. time.

But after learning the specific reward, he changed his mind, mainly because the reward prepared by the generous Mrs. Alkader was too much.

The reward is naturally not money. After all, there is too much money that the other party cannot afford. If the money is not much, Liang En will not look down on it at all, and he will never waste time and energy on it.

This time the reward was a 320-square-meter apartment in Barcelona. To be honest, if it was an ordinary real estate, Liang En might not take it seriously, but this time the apartment given by the other party was located on the third floor of La Pedrera.

La Pedrera is located on Passeig de Gracia in the extension area of ​​Cerona. It is an apartment building covering an area of ​​about 1,323 square meters. It looks like it has six floors, but it actually has an attic, a mezzanine and a basement.

At that time, the wealthy widow Rose Segimon remarried Pere Mila, a prominent businessman in Barcelona. As Catalan tycoons, the couple excitedly invited the most famous building at the time after visiting the Batllo Apartment out of consideration for status and fame. I learned from Gaudí and hoped that he could build himself an unparalleled house.

The building was built in 1906, when Gaudí was 54 years old. The new residence took six arduous years to be completed. It can be regarded as a classic work of the genius architect Gaudí in his mid-to-late period.

Although the owner of this apartment felt that the apartment was too large and did not show the restraint and elegance of the aristocracy, it was still considered one of Gaudi's masterpieces and was declared a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1984.

Due to historical changes over a hundred years ago, the property rights of this building have changed greatly in this world, and the property rights within the entire apartment are not consistent.

Although most of the building is now purchased by a foundation and is open to the public as a museum, several rooms are still in private ownership. To this day, some residents of this apartment still live here and live as usual.

Mrs. Alkader's family owned one of the rooms by chance and took it out this time, hoping to use this as a price to ask Liang En to find his grandfather.

In fact, Mrs. Alkader had used this apartment as a reward to find her grandfather since 20 years ago. Unfortunately, those people before returned empty-handed, and no one was able to obtain the final reward.
