Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 552 Diary
After finding the things, Liang En and the others hurriedly circled around the entire temple and visited for a while before returning to the Varma family's mansion.

As soon as they entered the door, several people came to the temporary lounge in the room as quickly as possible, and then took out a series of special tools and began to open the wooden box.

The previous owner of this wooden box obviously wanted to store this thing for a long time, so for the convenience of protection, there are indeed some anti-corrosion facilities on the box.

To give the simplest example, after careful inspection, Liang En found that the outside of the box was wrapped with a thick layer of beeswax, obviously to prevent air and water from entering the wooden box.

After carefully removing the beeswax, Liang En opened the wooden box under the watchful eyes of everyone. Inside the box were layers of textiles.

"This is the turban used by us Indians, and it is also the turban of some people with low status." After unfolding the white textile, Mr. Varma immediately recognized what it was.

"It seems that the situation of the person who hid this thing at that time was also very bad, so that he had to use everything he could find at hand for preservation."

After hearing what Mr. Varma said, Liang En nodded thoughtfully.After the headscarves were removed, the contents inside were finally exposed, but unexpectedly, there were no treasures inside, only a small book with a brown cover.

After seeing the book, Varma seemed a little less interested. For a layman like him, the characters are those dazzling gold and silver jewelry or handicrafts with a long heritage, and this small book does not fit any of the above.

But to Liang En, this thing is indeed very valuable, because after opening the book, Liang En found that it was a diary written by George Carter, which contained a lot of precious records.

Because there is not much difference between the English above and the current English, several people simply stayed in this room and flipped through the diaries one by one. By the time they had dinner, they had already figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing. Almost there.

This George Carter was a middle-class man who lived in the Victorian era. He had received a university education and became a bank clerk. He was considered a relatively upper-class person in that era.

It's just that people's desire for wealth is endless. As a result, this Mr. Carter not only wiped out his wealth in a speculative transaction, but also owed a large amount of debt to the bank.

That era was completely different from the present. For example, in that era, when banks demanded debts, there was basically a phenomenon of violent debt collection, and even dead people were not out of the question.

So after losing his wealth, Carter immediately gave up everything and ran away, and then entered a criminal gang and used his previous experience to produce various fake documents.

At the beginning, everything went very smoothly. In just half a year, they defrauded them of more than 1 pounds, which was not a small figure at that time.

This money allowed them to live a truly rich life, and at the same time made them determined to stay in London, the richest place in Britain at that time, so that they could continue to cheat.

Because of professionals like Carter, their fraudulent activities have repeatedly succeeded, and they have accumulated a lot of money.

However, in the following period of time, because they had been cheating around London, Scotland Yard quickly spotted them and launched a series of pursuits. During this process, some of them were arrested and exiled to Australia.

Although the British police in the early days were indeed slow to respond, they were hunted down because they were defrauding rich people, so that they had to take refuge in India.

This should also be regarded as a common phenomenon from ancient times to the present. Excellent talents and resources flow from underdeveloped countries to developed countries, while the flow of garbage is just the opposite.

After coming to India, these criminals will naturally not work hard to make money honestly, but will soon continue their fraud career from employment.

But this time they seemed to be at ease, because they were born in the upper class in India as British people, and the locals were not very prepared for the new scams from London, which made their local operations very smooth.

But more than a year later.There was a disagreement among the gang. If someone wants to make enough money now, he can find a place like Australia, Canada or the United States to start a new life.

Others feel that this place is full of stupid people and a lot of money. At the same time, making quick money has become a habit, so it is no longer suitable for the life of ordinary people.

At the beginning, the arguments between the two groups were limited to arguments.But as more and more money is earned, fewer and fewer people are willing to return to ordinary life, until the last Mr. George Carter is still willing to return to the life of ordinary people.

But at this time, Mr. Carter has become an unreliable factor in the gang, and because of this, the situation in the entire team is becoming more and more dangerous.

Of course, as an absolute high-IQ talent at that time, Mr. Carter was also aware of this and made targeted preparations. For example, at the end of the diary, he stated that he planned to flee with the biggest gains in the near future.

Although at the end of this diary, he did not explain what his escape plan was, but judging from the final results, his plan was obviously a failure.

At least he didn't leave the gang and start a new life in Australia or Canada, as his diary said, but became a pile of bones in the vault of this abandoned temple.

Fortunately, the two sides still had a little bit of incense in the end, so the group of people didn't search Mr. Carter after killing him, so these precious items were kept until today.

"Sometimes when you take a wrong step, it is the beginning of disaster, and it is impossible to turn back in the middle, so we'd better think clearly before doing everything to avoid fatal problems."

After reading the contents of these notebooks, Joan was the first to break the silence, and everyone else nodded with sympathy.

Through this diary, they also know how this Mr. Carter confused a good hand of cards, and the truth in this is very valuable to everyone present.

As for Liang En, this notebook was also a reminder that Mr. Carter should hide something of great value.

"I'll leave this book to you, Mr. Liang." After Liang En said that he wanted to use this book to hunt for treasure, Mr. Varma pointed to the book immediately and said.

"You just need to remember to show me what you found. To be honest, I am quite envious of explorers like you. Unfortunately, I still have family matters to do, so I really can't do that recklessly. "

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Varma." After taking the notebook in the box, Liang En thanked the other party with a smile. "If anything is discovered, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."
