Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 407 Identification
The regrettable fact of this search for Liang En is that this time a card was consumed but could not be replaced. After all, if these things are here, it means that the Gold Society should know what is going on with this thing, so naturally there is no card.

After finishing the inspection work, the police and customs staff began to restore the original situation in the two containers to prepare for the next step, while Liang En received a subsidy of 120 Euros and a box of pizza to go home.

Of course, when he returned home, he was sent back by Police Officer Burke. According to him, the following matters are now mainly handled by the local police. It is not appropriate for him to stay there, so he can use the excuse of sending Liang En to leave. .

"What do you think will happen if you catch the consignee?" On the way home, Liang En couldn't hold back his inner curiosity and asked. "I remember the law saying it was a crime to buy something knowing it was stolen."

"You're right, but the problem is that those who can really afford to buy these things naturally have ways to circumvent these laws." Officer Burke said while holding the steering wheel.

"For example, the most common way is to buy these items through an intermediary, and then if they are caught, they will claim that they have no knowledge of this."

"To be honest, the biggest problem in combating this kind of antique smuggling now is how to solve the problem of buyers. Many ancient relics are stolen or damaged are related to this underground art trading market."

Liang En naturally supported Officer Burke's point of view, because this kind of thing is not in the category of ordinary people's consumption at all, and it is often difficult for people who can afford such things to punish them.

Just like the slogan of protecting wild animals, there is no killing without buying and selling. The same is true for protecting ancient relics and cultural relics. If there is not such a strong market demand, there will not be so many thefts and destructions.

Fortunately, the overall situation of the Golden Dawn is pretty good at this point. They will never take the initiative to seek any antiques obtained through illegal channels, nor will they buy those obviously suspicious antiques.

This is because reputation is very important to this group of people. They don’t want to lose their reputation by buying dirty things. After all, as long as you do such things, there will always be traces. Difficult to hide from the circle of the same class.

On the other hand, most of the people who join this organization are lovers of the supernatural, even fanatics. At the same time, they are not anti-human organizations, so the moral requirements for themselves will naturally be higher.

Through the communication between the two parties, Liang En learned that the Golden Society has recently suffered the worst blow in history. Not only was the elite team in the eastern Mediterranean destroyed, but a large number of people were arrested and their identities were exposed.

For example, last month, the Greek police arrested the person in charge of the French region of the Gold Association. At that time, the other party pretended to be an intermediary and bought a piece of land that might contain antiques. .

Under normal circumstances, the person in charge of this kind of work just remotely controls a group of people to do it, so it is more difficult to be convicted if something really happens.

However, due to the fact that many gold people were arrested before, these people who belonged to the command level had to take risks and carry out the digging operation themselves.

Of course, gold will not know that this time is very dangerous, but even if they are one of the best in the field of illegal mining, they are still affected by the buyers behind them who spend money to buy dirty things.

For the Gold Association, although they have a certain amount of capital to push back most of the orders, there are always some orders that they cannot delay. This is the case with regard to the excavation of ancient Greece, and it is still the case with this smuggling.

These orders that cannot be rejected forced them to take the initiative to take risks in risky situations, but they were caught by the police who had been prepared.

Gold's continuous setbacks are undoubtedly good news for Liang En, because the previous conflicts between the two sides have made them forge a lot of enmity, and Liang En does not expect the other party to never find out what he has done.

Thinking about the armed squad that Gold would be in Egypt, he felt that weakening or even eradicating Gold would increase his overall level by more than one level.

"By the way, every January the court has an auction of confiscated items. You can come and participate in this year's auction." Just as he was about to get home, Officer Burke said suddenly.

"You know that this year we destroyed several piracy and digging criminal groups, and confiscated many of their crime tools, but these things are very professional, and most people will not buy them."

"So you can take a look at this year's court auction. There should be a high probability that you can buy some things you can use at a low price."

"Thank you very much for your reminder." Liang En nodded to Officer Burke. He had to say that this reminder was very meaningful to him, because he did need to purchase some items in this regard now.

From then until Christmas, Liang En stayed at home enjoying the rare leisure time, but what he didn't expect was that the day before Christmas, Fan Meng suddenly came to visit.

"What happened?" Liang En felt a little strange when he saw Fan Meng came to the door, although he said that because one of his family is Chinese and the other is Orthodox, Christmas is not in December because Christmas is not a holiday now.

But at this time, because most of the other people are on holidays, their business is often the best time, so it seems a bit strange that Fan Meng came to find him instead of helping at home.

"My mother's younger brother came from Ukraine and said that he needed money for some things in his hometown, but my uncle didn't come to borrow money, but to sell some treasures at home for money back." Fan Meng heard Liang En answered immediately after asking this question. "But you know that my family runs a restaurant, and they hardly know anything about it, and I don't know who to ask for help in identification, so I can only trouble you."

"Well, I'll definitely help you with this job." For Liang En, this is a matter of two or three hours, and if he can help, he will definitely help.

"That would be great." Fan Meng took out his mobile phone and looked at it and said, "Let me send a text message to my dad to prepare for a table. After you go over, we will have lunch together before starting work."

Sure enough, when Liang En came to Fan Meng's restaurant, he was seated directly. As two families who had known each other for more than ten years, Fan Meng's father naturally knew what Liang En liked to eat.

So when he got to the table, Liang En soon found that all the dishes on the table were his favorite. It was obvious that Fan Meng's father put his heart into this reception.

Since both Liang En and Fan Meng's father and son are considered Chinese, after eating for a while, they began to chat about today's business, that is, those things related to the identification of family heirlooms brought by Fan Meng's uncle.

Because of the reasons that had been agreed in advance, the middle-aged man quickly went out after seeing his brother-in-law's gesture, and took back a wooden box in a cloth bag, and then opened the lid of the box.

"This is—" The moment the box lid was opened, Liang En's eyes widened suddenly, because he saw something that should never appear here.
