Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 269 Clues
The first thing Liang En used the card to see was the situation on the day of the incident. Judging from the image read out, this group of people should look like habitual bandits, so they were able to get all the things out in just ten minutes. All loaded into the car outside.

You must know that among the things lost this time, there are many stone sculptures weighing hundreds or even hundreds of kilograms. It is not easy for ordinary people to move these big guys.

Even though these things were packed with wooden boards and sacks and placed on movable platforms due to temporary placement, it was not something ordinary people could do to evacuate them in such a short time.

After rewinding to the previous two days, Liang En found that just as he had imagined before, these thieves had previously visited this room disguised as tourists and took many photos.

Because they were fully prepared before, these thieves seemed very relaxed during the whole moving process, and even said a lot of messy things with an obvious southern American accent.

And from what the other party said, Liang En knew that this group of people had stepped on their feet and bribed the guards, so they could come here so easily.

Think about it too, after all, the location of this museum is in the school, so even if the school is an open school, it is not easy to take a lot of things out.

Especially when there were not many electronic security facilities in that era, the guards mainly relied on people and dogs, and it was impossible to bypass so many people and successfully leave with things without bribed the guards.

The reason why the other party chose Huaxia cultural relics was also very simple. After all, Huaxia cultural relics were not very famous at that time, so the search after the theft of these cultural relics would theoretically be smaller.

However, because the two guards at the exit were killed that year, the police and the museum who came to investigate later were not able to obtain much detailed information about the criminals.

From this point, it can be seen that the robbers were vicious enough back then, and the reason why they killed the guards was probably because the two guards were bought by them before and could recognize them.

So in order to avoid showing their feet during police inquiries afterwards, these robbers simply killed the guards to ensure that they would not be exposed.

It may be because these thieves are professional criminals, so they wore gloves and covered their faces with hoods during the whole robbery process. Liang En couldn't see their faces clearly even though he activated the skill card.

But this does not mean that Liang En did not find any valuable information during this period of time. On the one hand, by the light of the street lamp, he saw that the car used to commit the crime was a transport truck with a huge Budweiser logo on it. .

On the other hand, from the chats of these people, he learned that this group of people planned to meet in a bar warehouse called Oak and Barley after they succeeded, and try to find a buyer.

These points coincided with the information in Liang En's hands, because the investigation records left by the police contained records that the robbers were driving a Budweiser beer truck.

In addition, the record records that after the loss of these cultural relics, the local police immediately searched the Budweiser beer transport truck in the city based on clues, but did not find the car.

Liang En had always been curious about how such a large truck disappeared, especially how to break through the layers of interception by the police who reacted quickly at that time.

And now, through backtracking, he realizes that the truck wasn't a Budweiser truck at all, but just a truck with a red cabin that had a paper-drawn Budweiser label affixed to mimic a beer truck.

Although this kind of thing is a bit rough, because the other party committed the crime at night, and because the witnesses were far away, they didn't see the problem.

Obviously, this group of robbers did make a lot of preparations before that, and they were even able to confuse the Philadelphia police at that time with this seemingly simple but ingenious method.

However, it is not very easy to find a red truck, especially the angle of the pillar so that he can only see the situation outside from the window, so he cannot see the license plate below.

Of course, given the cunning way this group can use stickers to disguise their vehicles as beer delivery vans, it's not that far-fetched that this group is hiding their license plates or getting fake ones.

After recording this important clue in his heart, he focused on the place name he heard before, that is, to find the location of the oak and barley pub he heard before.

Fortunately, this place is the University of Pennsylvania, so Liang En easily entered the school library under the name of a scholar, and then with the help of the library staff, he found this bar from a pile of materials about the history of Philadelphia.

This is a bar that opened in the 20s. According to records, the place started out as a small hotel, but with the advent of Prohibition, the place quickly became a speakeasy.

Although it is a bit far from the city, it was famous throughout the Prohibition era because of its high security, and the World War II and subsequent prosperity brought this bar to its peak.

However, after entering the 60s, the bar gradually declined due to aging facilities, and was finally abandoned. It has been completely abandoned until today.

Judging from the photos collected in the university museum, people have come and gone for so many years, and after it was abandoned, the contents inside were basically emptied by homeless people, so it is unlikely that those treasures are still there.

But for Liang En, as long as the building is still there, he can use the card to search for further clues to locate the missing treasures.

When Liang En borrowed books from the library, he used the excuse that he wanted to know about the changes in the buildings in West Philadelphia, so he naturally borrowed a lot of materials.

Considering that what he wanted could easily arouse suspicion, so after he found what he wanted, he began to look at other materials, and in that pile of materials, a conflict occurred three days after the robbery Attracted Liang En.

According to the information, a gang conflict broke out less than two blocks away from this bar.Four black gang members were killed in the clashes, while a truck and a car were set ablaze.

More importantly, a photo of the burned car was attached to the information.Although the black and white photos couldn't tell what kind of paint the car was originally painted on, Liang En immediately recognized that the burned truck was the truck he had seen through the card before.

"Do you have more detailed information on this?" Soon, Liang En found the library staff and asked about the conflict.

"Sorry, the information in our place should be the most complete. These ancient files have long passed their storage time, so even the files kept by the police are not as comprehensive as ours."

After hearing Liang En's question, the staff member thought about it seriously, and then said. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Liang, is there anything else you need help with besides this?"

"No more, thank you." After thanking the staff member, Liang En quickly returned the books and materials he had borrowed before, and then walked out of the library to meet Jeanne and the others.

Obviously, those cultural relics thieves probably died in this conflict, and the winning party burned the corpses and vehicles to completely cover up the traces in order to destroy the corpses.

This is why the whereabouts of the thieves have not been found for so many years, because all valuable things have been burned, and the crude authentication conditions of the year were difficult to find from the burned bodies and objects. value information.

So the police didn't connect these dead with the robbery at all, they just regarded it as a common gang fire and closed the case, and these materials have been kept dusty in the files until Liang En saw it today.
