Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 426 Small Town
"Now the situation can be corrected." After realizing that he was observing the scene of the famous criminal case, Liang En immediately became energetic, because the next paragraph is likely to reveal the core part of this mysterious case.

I have to say that the bodyguard of Mr. Garcia is a bit amateur, because under normal circumstances, when encountering this kind of attack, the first thing the bodyguard does is to speed up and leave the dangerous place under attack, rather than getting out of the car to check the situation.

It's a pity that the popularity of this kind of knowledge was not high at that time, and Mr. Garcia was just a rich man with status, so he and his bodyguards were obviously not trained in this area.

In Liang En's view, Mr. Garcia and the bodyguard got out of the car after a few words, and then the two of them removed the spare tire from the back of the car and took out the jack to start replacing the tire.

At this time, the two young men who had been ambushed earlier joined together and quietly touched the roadside gutter, then rushed out and launched an attack.

Although Mr. Garcia's bodyguard discovered the attack immediately and pulled out a pistol, but because the distance between the two sides was too close, the bodyguard wrestled with a young man just before he had time to pull out his pistol.

Soon, Liang En heard a gunshot. Judging from the huddle situation, it should be that the bodyguard and a robber accidentally pulled the trigger during the scuffle.

Those guns of yesteryear were more likely to be misfired than modern firearms, and the shot landed the bodyguard in the thigh and knocked him to his knees.

And this shot also broke the stalemate between the two sides. The young man who was wrestling with the bodyguard was stunned for a moment when he heard the gunshot, and then his facial expression became ferocious. He took out a small knife from his pocket and stabbed at the other side. bodyguard.

After killing the bodyguard, the man stabbed Mr. Garcia's back with a bloody knife and then argued with his companion.

Judging from their previous preparations and current state, these two people should have only planned to rob before, but they directly drew their swords to kill under the stimulation of the gunshots.

But soon the two attackers recovered, and saw that they used the tools on the car to dismantle their broken bicycle into several sections and stuff them into the back row and trunk of the car together with the two corpses.

Then the two cooperated to load the blood-stained soil on the ground into the car, and after wiping away the marks left by the digging soil with their feet, they installed the tires and drove away from here.

Because they wanted to take away their bicycles, the other party had no choice but to throw the replaced bad tire on the side of the road, and this became the most valuable clue the police found in the future.

Although he finished watching the scene of Mr. Garcia's death, Liang En watched all the time he could watch in the spirit of not wasting, and he was surprised to find that the two men came back here on bicycles the next morning .

I saw that they first looked around the scene, then picked up a shell casing from the ground and disturbed the ground with a bundle of branches, and then slowly went back.

"Did you find anything?" Joan of Arc, who was standing by the side of the car, asked seriously when Liang En finished his observation and walked down the mountain.

"I found a lot of things." Liang En said with a smile and nodded. "Let's drive to the town ahead and have some lunch. By the way, let me tell you what I found just now."

The village was only three to four kilometers away, so it was just a matter of kicking the gas pedal, so after only 10 minutes, the two sat at the outdoor table of the only restaurant in the village and had lunch.

"What did you find just now?" Joan of Arc asked after looking around to make sure there was no one around when she was almost done eating lunch. "I can feel that you were very, very happy when you just came down that hill."

"I saw the scene where the tragedy happened." Liang En said after taking a sip of the drink in the cup in front of him. At this time, the waiter had already taken away the empty plates left over from the finished pasta and brought them over. Two cups of hot cocoa.

"Through observation, I successfully saw the appearance of the attacker, and I can confirm that there are only two attackers, and they should have lived nearby when the case happened."

Liang En saw the attackers as two people, and it was deduced that the other party lived nearby.

After all, being able to ride a bicycle together the next day may indicate one thing, that is, the other party not only lived very close to the scene of the incident at the time, but also should have a legal identity around at the time.

Because the broken bicycle could not ride far with two people, and this kind of countryside is basically a closed society. If the two robbers were outsiders at that time, they would have been found out in the previous searches over and over again. Instead of being clueless.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, Liang En quickly took out a pen and paper and used his sketching skills to draw the appearance of the two attackers and made another copy, then searched together with Joan of Arc.

According to his previous analysis, the opponent riding a bicycle dared to attack at night, which meant that most of the opponent's journey would be along the road. Otherwise, two people with a broken bicycle would not be able to travel in the wild at night without lighting.

And this distance will not be too far, at most it can be reached by bicycle in about an hour, otherwise it will definitely be marked in the previous data if it is missing for a long time at a critical moment.Instead of seeing nothing wrong with the data as it is now.

Unfortunately, because cameras were not common at that time, only a few people worthy of attention had photos in the collected information, and the two people Liang En wanted to find did not have photos.

However, this was not a problem for Liang En. After all, there were only two villages that met his requirements, so he simply took the village where Joan of Arc and the others were now to start searching, and the first target of the search was the church.

After all, in a traditional Catholic country like Spain, whether it is birth, marriage or death, it basically goes through the church, and the clergy in the church are also the most prestigious people in the settlements.

In this case, it is not impossible to find information about a certain person even after 60 years, especially in rural areas where the turnover of people is extremely low and the population is small, so it is not difficult to find two people.

"60 years ago? That's when my predecessor's predecessor was responsible." After listening to Liang En's description, the priest with a white beard led them to the archives of the church behind, and then rummaged through the files. Said on the side of the data.

"However, I have a little impression of the two people you mentioned. The information about them should be in this large pile of documents, but it may take some time to find them—"

Theoretically, the clergy of a Catholic church should be appointed by superiors, but for these grassroots churches, the clergy are often from the local area, so they can also be said to know a region very well.

This is why Liang En came here to search. After all, this place is in the Spanish countryside. If you want to find someone, the church is naturally the easiest place to get reliable information.
