Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 156 The Golden Club

"According to the news I got from the Swedish Freemasonry, the former British Freemasonry branch called the Golden Society is not only rejected by various Freemasonry branches, but also because of repeated destructive excavations and plundering of historical sites. Wanted by many countries."

For this organization related to his uncle's disappearance, Skold has also checked a lot of things over the years.It was precisely because of this investigation that he realized that this organization did have a terrifying side, but it was not as strong as he had imagined.

At least the other party now has a lot of wealth and power, but it has degenerated from an organization that could operate publicly into a criminal group.

"It's just that they have been in contact through secret means since the collapse of the British Freemasonry, so neither the British Freemasonry nor Interpol have been able to catch them." Speaking of this, Scudder also has some have no choice.

After all, he felt that if he wanted to find his uncle, he had to find the main personnel of the Golden Society or their files, but the other party was like a gopher and couldn't find it at all.

And this is the main reason why Skold asked Liang En for help. After all, he is now a member of the Swedish Freemasonry, so no matter what he does, he is likely to be focused on by the other party, resulting in failure to do everything.

"If that's the case, please let me think about it." After listening to Scudder's description of the whole thing, Liang En thought for a few minutes and then looked up at him and said.

"Although the other party is already a criminal organization that can only hide in the dark and has many enemies. And the task you entrusted to me is to find your uncle. But I still hope you will allow me to think about it."

"Of course, it should be." After hearing Liang En's words, Scudder didn't feel too surprised. After all, this matter has certain risks. It is only human for people like Liang En to think about it seriously. Common sense.

After returning to the hotel, Liang En immediately got in touch with those archaeologists he knew before, and asked about the Scold family and the so-called Golden Society.

After some inquiries, Liang En learned that this Mr. Scold and the family behind him had a good reputation overall, so their entrustment was totally worth accepting.

On the other hand, the Gold Society that Mr. Scout mentioned was quite famous among the archaeologists Liang En knew, and many people knew of the existence of this organization.

"Gold Association? You should be talking about a group of guys who crazily steal and destroy cultural relics."

Dr. Caldwell clearly knew something about the organization. "If I remember correctly, many treasures in Scotland have been robbed and lost, and several museums have been stolen. They seem to be related to them."

"And the scope of their activities spreads all over the world. It can be said that the notoriety of the Golden Society is known to everyone from Ireland to Khitan. It's just that there are always people in this world who are willing to pay for those illegal cultural relics, so they have always maintained vitality."

After hanging up the phone, Liang En soon received a series of documents from Dr. Caldwell.As a result, he was completely shocked by the large number of wanted notices attached to the file.

"Japan, China, Russia, the bunch of stan countries in Central Asia—" Looking at those countries that issued arrest warrants for the members of the Golden Society, Liang En felt that this time was really an eye-opener.

"Offending half the world in one go, this group of people is indeed capable." Liang En murmured softly after reading the arrest warrants and some crime scene briefings one by one.

But then again, the main reason why this group of extrajudicial lunatics can make such a big splash is that they caused huge and irreversible damage to those cultural relics and historic sites in the process of carrying out criminal activities.

For example, for the hidden treasures in the secret room under the pagoda, the other party dared to use explosives to completely destroy the pagoda, and then swept away all the cultural relics in the secret room.

Even in some war-torn areas, they directly collude with local rebel forces and even the regular army, and use war to wipe out what they want in those war-torn areas, leaving only wreckage on the ground.

And the information from Earl Bossit and the Louvre is similar to this information, except that the information left by the two parties clearly stated that there should be many professionals in the other party's organization, so the scene of the crime was justified. It will look organized.

"It seems that the other party is a global cultural relic theft organization with a history of at least 100 years." After summarizing the information, Liang En sat in front of the table and tapped his fingers on the table to think.

"Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that this organization has been destroyed many times. Then people will use their names to reincarnate their bodies and come back to make trouble."

"Diringling—" Just as Liang En was analyzing the situation carefully, a phone call came.He held up his phone, only to find Pierce on the caller ID.

This made Liang En a little surprised, because he just habitually added his friends in the group post just now.But what I didn't expect was that Pierce also knew about this organization.

"I have personally contacted the peripheral members of this organization." The first time he got on the phone, Pierce revealed a piece of news that surprised Liang En.

"In fact, this organization has always been an urban legend in the underground black market, because they usually only accept rewards from anonymous rich people."

"Of course. The content of these rewards is not very legal. For example, a painting that has been collected in a museum, or a Buddha sculpture located in a cave thousands of kilometers away—"

Pierce knows more about the Golden Society than those scholars. Although their family has only opened a small-scale antique shop in London for more than 100 years, the contacts accumulated over several generations must not be underestimated.

At least compared to those scholars, the Murphy family where Pierce belongs obviously knows more about those less legal cultural relics and art transactions.

It was through such a chat that Liang En realized that there would not be too many members of the Golden Society, especially the action team would definitely be within ten people.

Because Pierce told Liang En that the so-called Gold Society can only complete one commission at a time, even if two commissions are equally expensive but need to be carried out at the same time, the Gold Society will always only choose one commission to carry out.

This news is very important to Liang En, because if the Gold Council does not have many people, then the safety of his commission from Mr. Skold will increase by more than one level.

After all, it has been more than half a century since Scold's uncle disappeared. Under such circumstances, if the number of members of the Golden Society is not large, Liang En should not have discovered Liang En's investigation of this incident many years ago.

"I think we can take on this task." When Liang En asked his companions for their opinions at night, Fan Meng put forward his own point of view.

"After all, our task this time is not to eliminate the Golden Society, but to investigate a crime that their predecessors may have committed decades ago, so the situation is not as dangerous as you think."

"More importantly, I think we can find Mr. Skold's uncle through other means. There is no need to face to face with the members of the Golden Society. Even if we can't find it, there will be no danger."

"What you said makes sense, I know what to do next." After being mentioned by Fan Meng, Liang En finally made up his mind. "Let's rest here for two or three days first, and then go to that Mr. Skold to take on this mission."
