Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 501 Doubt and Surprise

Although it was basically certain that the businessman who rented out the boat before had lied to him and gave Liang En and the others false data for his own salvage, but the current situation has brought more doubts.

One of the biggest doubts is that Liang En doesn't understand what this person is paying such a high price for, because from any point of view, this kind of theft is definitely a loss of money.

But the problem is that for this group of criminal organizations, they can take huge risks to do some things, but they will never do things that lose money, so the situation now looks very weird.

"I guess the other party should have found something they need here, but now I just don't know what the other party wants." Liang En said in a low voice while looking at the video of the other party's ships and divers taken by Fan Meng in his phone.

"Then what should we do next?" Fan Meng looked at Liang En and asked. "Do you need me to call someone from the White Knight Security Company? There is now a team of former professional soldiers that can be mobilized at any time."

"No, no, we can get official support, so there's no need to mobilize our own force to create extra problems." Liang En shook his hand lightly and said.

"But the problem is that we better understand what the other party is thinking. After all, we are now acting openly and legally here, so if we want to take any action against the other party, we must understand what the other party is doing now before we can take the next step. "

"This is indeed a problem, especially this time we are not the only ones, there are many other people who came together. If he wants to make any plans at this time, he must consider other people's problems." Liang En showed a distressed expression .

"I think I might have a good idea." Joan of Arc, who had watched the video carefully, said suddenly, "We can start with these divers and find a way to investigate them."

"Probably not, because the vicinity of Santorini is a sacred place for diving, so many people dive around, and there is even a diving school on the island that teaches diving to tourists with zero experience." Fan Meng shook helplessly. Shake your head.

"So diving around here is such a common practice that it's simply not possible for us to find enough excuse to investigate the behavior of this group of people on that alone."

"You are right, but the problem is that there are many historical relics in this area." Joan of Arc smiled, and then took out a travel brochure issued by the airport.

"I took this booklet from the Athens airport and it is used to tell tourists what they need to pay attention to when traveling in Greece, including how to dive in Greece."

"According to the statement in this booklet, because the Greek region is a core region of ancient civilization, there are a large number of historical relics in this region, whether on land or in the sea."

"So in the Aegean Sea region, in order to protect those possible underwater historical relics, all divers must obtain a license to dive, and diving without a license is an illegal act."

"What you said makes sense. Now that I think about it, this group of people does look very suspicious." After being told by Joan, Fan Meng also recalled some suspicious points of that group of people.

One of the suspicious points is that there are only these people diving in this place, and other yachts at most just pass through this sea area without stopping, let alone some people diving, which shows that the location they are in is not a diving spot.

Another possible point is that the group of people seems to have been avoiding other people intentionally or unintentionally. After careful recollection, Fan Meng can confirm that the group of people never showed up when there were boats approaching.

"So now we have enough evidence to prove that this group of people is likely to try to illegally excavate some underwater ruins." Hearing this, Liang En clapped his hands and said.

"So the next thing is easy to handle. I can pass these things to the Greek official staff who came with me and see if they will take corresponding actions."

After returning to the hotel, Liang En quickly found the staff member and showed him this video, and said that it was taken by his bodyguard who felt a little strange during today's tour.

"Thank you very much for your bodyguard's sensitivity. This is indeed some kind of illegal or digging work." The official said seriously.

"I will pass this information on to the police immediately, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will soon try to stop this and arrest these criminals."

Although everyone agrees that the Greeks sometimes procrastinate in official affairs, but because Liang En and the others are famous people, the speed of the Greeks' actions this time has suddenly increased a lot.

So the next morning, Liang En learned of the results of the police raid last night. After all, boats are different from cars, and it is easy to locate the boat and its owner with video data.

Therefore, after getting the exact information, the local police launched the first raid that night, but the result of the raid was not optimistic at all.

Although the police successfully identified the boat that committed the crime, and found several pottery fragments that had just been picked up from the company's office during subsequent searches, they failed to capture the criminals.

According to the on-site investigation data, when the police approached, the boss saw this scene from the surveillance camera and ran away, and the company staff caught by the police did not know what was going on at all.

"—But don't worry, we have issued a wanted warrant based on what we have investigated. If there is no accident, we may be able to catch those criminals in a short time."

Early the next morning, the staff member reported the results of their actions last night to Liang En and the other archaeological team members who came to the scientific expedition.

"You have done a good job." The middle-aged man who led the archaeological team at the National Museum of Ireland said, "I believe you can bring these criminals to justice soon—— "

After such a small episode, everyone quickly started digging.But this time they adjusted the survey direction.The location of the original excavation work was changed from the wrong location provided by the previous person to the correct location.

After switching positions, they soon discovered that the situation on the seabed was completely different from before. After a series of simple searches, they quickly found an extremely damaged ancient ship wreckage on the seabed.

Just after lunch time that day, underwater divers found something using metal detectors.When those things were pulled to the deck along the gondola, everyone found that they were actually some metal blocks that were the same as what Liang En had discovered before.

In addition to the metal pieces, they also found some scattered traces of planks and broken pottery shards. From these things, Liang En and the others were basically sure that this should be a merchant ship that sank in this place for some reason.

More importantly, judging from the situation on the ship, this ship is likely to be a merchant ship of that era, so the archaeologists present can use these wrecks to study the overall situation of that era. .
