Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 347 Heading to Prague

For Liang En, in the three days after he returned to Ireland, apart from enjoying the family affection, the biggest gain was to understand what happened to the group of guys who were trapped in Edinburgh before.

These things come in a paper mail.The sender was the organizer of the auction in London. After reading the letter, Liang En roughly figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter.

The group of people that Liang En and the others killed in Edinburgh with the help of the police was a hunter team called Mammon who hunted various cultural relics, and they were also well-known on the dark web.

Compared with other similar criminal organizations, the biggest feature of this team is that it mainly targets various religious relics, so it chooses such a religious name that represents greed as the name of its organization.

Except for the fact that the so-called theft of the so-called Joan of Arc's remains did not fail because it happened to hit Liang En head-on, they basically succeeded in every previous operation.

For example, successfully stealing a statue of a historic saint from Rome, or stealing an entire fountain from a square in Poland disguised as a municipal office.

Of course, the actions of the other party are not always so harmonious. When the theft fails, they will choose to rob directly with guns and cause some murders.

However, considering the level of law and order in Western Europe, these cases of intentional injury or even intentional homicide often appeared during the team's operations in Eastern Europe.

To give the simplest example, according to the current interrogation records and a series of previous evidence, this group of people killed nearly ten people in the operation, and this is only what the authorities can prove.

"There is a small question, why do these people take the initiative to admit their crimes." Joan of Arc, who was sitting next to Liang En and also read these letters, asked a little puzzled. "Especially a felony like homicide."

"This involves an issue of British law." Liang En put down the letter in his hand and said to Jeanne, "There is no death penalty in Britain, so even if you commit multiple murders like this, you will be sentenced to life imprisonment at most. That's all."

"However, the main criminal we saw before, that is, the scar-faced man, although he is British, has committed several crimes in Russia, so if he does not admit the crime, he will be handed over to Russia and then be shot. "

"So after the other party found out that the British side had mastered some of their crimes, the group of people who found that they were likely to be deported back to Russia would naturally choose the current plan to avoid being handed over to the Russian side to be shot."

The choice of this group of people can be regarded as a way of cutting off the wrists of a strong man. After all, there is an international rule of non-extradition of the death penalty, so now they can be regarded as escaped.

As far as the UK is concerned, crimes committed by British citizens outside the UK can also be tried by the British government, so it is natural to be able to try crimes committed by the other party overseas.

This is a good thing for Liang En and the others, because the other party's crime is properly sentenced to life imprisonment, so it is basically impossible to threaten Liang En in the future.

"I'm a little worried that there might be someone behind the other party." Joan of Arc said worriedly. "If you think about those things, after they get them, they definitely don't keep them for themselves, but sell them to others, so what's behind those—"

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this, because for the people behind the scenes, these teams are just hunting dogs, and the failed hunting dogs are not of much value." Liang En shook with a smile shook his head.

Back then, a famous gang leader in China once said that those big shots at most used them as chamber pots, taking them out to urinate when they were in use, and stuffing them under the bed when they were not in use made them smell bad.

In fact, this conclusion is common all over the world, so even if this team has made countless contributions before, those people behind it are not willing to waste precious resources on these losers when they miss and are captured.

In this case, revenge is naturally out of the question. Compared with some vicious criminals, most of the people who buy illegal antiques are rich and famous.

This group of people does have power and can do countless things that break through the lower limit of human beings, but they will never do it to avenge their dog or some people.

For them, everything has to calculate the gains and losses, and these guys who can no longer continue to serve in the future have lost their value, and naturally it is not worth investing more resources in them.

The reason why they think this way is because there are a lot of people who are willing to work for themselves like this, and there is no need to pay more for those who are no longer producing.

After figuring out the situation of those people before, Liang En felt a lot easier. Last time, the feud between them was settled, so it is indeed good news that they can clean up the beginning and end like now.

After resting at home for three days, Liang En, Joan of Arc, and Fan Meng gathered at the airport, and then took Mr. Skold's private jet to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

What surprised Liang En was that when he walked into the cabin, he unexpectedly found that Mr. Scudder was also on the plane, and it seemed that he was specially greeted by him.

The reason for this situation is also very simple, because unlike their first encounter, Liang En is now a senior historian because of his achievements in archeology and history.

Therefore, in the eyes of a rich man like Scudder, as a scholar, Liang En was already on the same level as himself in terms of social status, so he naturally had to show some kind of respect.

Because the journey wasn't too short, Liang En simply talked with Mr. Skold about the acquisition of the museum on the plane, after all, they were going to do work in this area next.

From Mr. Skold, Liang En learned that the acquisition was mainly related to an old friend of the Skold family, and this old friend was also the broker of the acquisition.

As an archeology enthusiast, Skold is naturally very interested in all kinds of archaeological or antique-related things, and it is naturally within his plan to have a museum of his own.

It is a pity that he has not been able to find a museum suitable for his purchase before, and those museums that are willing to transfer either do not meet his requirements in terms of content or scale, or are too expensive.

Mr. Skold's family is indeed very rich, but the funds he can use are not particularly large. Considering that the profits from investing in museums are very meager, he cannot use family funds, but can only use his own part.

This is also an important reason why he asked Liang En to enter the project when he invested in the power station last time, because the investment scale was too small and his family didn't like it, and he himself couldn't afford much money to buy the museum.

"——a folk museum, which introduces the folk customs of ancient Bohemia. It seems that this museum is not bad, at least it is relatively popular."

After reading the information and listening to Mr. Skold's discussion, Liang En finally had a concrete understanding of the goal this time. If the information is true, this is indeed a good investment.
