Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 157
"You mean you want to find out my uncle's whereabouts by restoring his last expedition?" Three days later, in the hotel's cafe, Mr. Scudder and Liang En discussed the entrustment.

"But my father had already thought of all these things that you think of. He found several private detectives and explorers at that time, but only found a few traces."

"Can I ask when was the last time your father looked for your uncle?" Liang En asked as if suddenly thinking of something, "I know this question is a bit abrupt, but—"

"There's nothing to say." Scudder shook his head gently. "It was about half a year before my father retired, that is, more than 20 years ago, he spent millions of kroner to hire five or six famous teams, but found nothing."

"But now nearly 20 years have passed, and many new technologies that did not exist in the past have been born during my time. In this case, I would like to conduct another expedition and maybe find some clues that were previously ignored." That's when Liang En said.

"—You are right." Scudder nodded after thinking for a while.The reason why he went to trouble with the Golden Society was mainly because of the failure of the search work, so the clues could only be obtained from the Golden Society.

In other words, if someone could find clues about his uncle's whereabouts from other places and find his long-lost uncle, he would naturally raise his hands in agreement.

"All the materials from that year are kept at my home. If it is convenient for you, I will take you to my house the day after tomorrow to sort out all those materials." Mr. Scudder sent out an invitation.

"Those materials filled a big room in my house, and my father should be very willing to entertain you guests who came from afar, and talk to you about my uncle's story."

"It would be great if this could be done." Liang En breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. With enough information and even witnesses, the possibility of finding important clues is obviously much higher.

"Actually, the matter of finding my uncle is not only my idea, but also my father's idea." Realizing that Liang En agreed to his commission, Scudder suddenly became excited, and then talked about things about their elders.

"My uncle is three years younger than my father, and he and my father have had a very good relationship since childhood. After growing up, my uncle chose to become an explorer, while my father inherited the family business and worked for My uncle offered to help."

"Because of the relationship between the two of them, my uncle would tell my father what he was looking for every time before he went out to explore."

"The only exception is my uncle's last adventure. We only know that he said that if he succeeds this time, there is a high probability that he will be able to solve a mystery that has plagued everyone for hundreds or even thousands of years in history."

Speaking of this, Scudder's eye sockets were slightly red, and at the same time his eyes were empty, recalling that day more than ten years ago.

"I remember very clearly that I was less than ten years old at that time, and my uncle was very excited and said a lot to my father. I can still remember my uncle's excited expression at that time."

"And my father was also very happy at that time. After my uncle left, he told me that if he can come back smoothly, then our family will be able to produce a famous adventurer."

"It just never occurred to us that all contact with him would be cut off a week or so after he left for Turkey, and we've lost all contact with him since then."

"This sounds like a very bad thing." Looking at the expression on Mr. Scudder's face, Liang En also made his expression serious. "In the next time, I will try my best to help you find your uncle."

"It would be great if we can really find it. In fact, after so many years, we also know that he must have been killed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to contact us for so many years." Speaking of this, Scudder shook his head, and then said arrive.

"Before I came, I had asked someone to start summarizing all the information I found before. If there are no accidents, those things should be sorted out when we go back."

"It's really troublesome." Liang En thanked him from the bottom of his heart, because the other party had accumulated more than a little bit of information from so many searches, and it would naturally save a lot of time if he could sort it out in advance. "

"It's not too much trouble, actually my father is doing these things, so it's enough to just adjust and check this time." Scudder shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Next we should Tell me about your reward."

"I will help you bear all your expenses along the way. Besides, if you really find something according to my uncle's records, those things will belong to you, and I will help you deal with what you find."

"If you really find my uncle, or accurately confirm his final whereabouts. I will pay you 50 to 70 euros depending on the situation."

"In addition, you can terminate the search work at any time. You just need to notify me after the termination, and the termination of the work will not prevent you from being reimbursed by me for various costs incurred in the search work."

"It's a very generous reward. I don't think I have much reason to refuse." Liang En said cheerfully. Anyway, he had already made a decision before, so now that he has such a generous reward, he naturally won't refuse it.

"I'm very glad to see that you, a scholar, can join the search team. I believe you will be able to make a unique discovery this time." Scudder stood up and extended his hand to Liang En.

"Yes, I wish us all the best this time." Liang En also stood up and extended his hand to shake Scudder, with a smile on his face.

"Are the two of us still doing this operation?" Fan Meng asked on the way back to the room.

"No, this time Pierce will also join in." Liang En explained. "Because he has a deeper understanding of the dark side of the cultural relics market than we do, and he has a lot of contacts in Europe and the United States, so he should be of great help this time."

"I understand, and we really need someone who understands gray or even black transactions." Fan Meng nodded. As a soldier who was on duty in war-torn areas all day long, he still knows some things.

"Especially this operation may encounter some dangerous enemies and break out conflicts, so we do need something that is not very legal to protect our lives."

"You're right, Pierce specifically assured me that there are channels to find something for self-defense." Liang En said. "As long as the money is in place, he can even get some rare good things."

"That sounds very good." Fan Meng nodded approvingly. "Although we should not have any conflicts with others this time, it is always good to prepare some things in advance."

"Especially these things that are related to our lives. I would rather buy them like I did last time when I went to Egypt and not use them later. I don't want to have something in my hands when something really happens."
