Treasure hunt begins in England
Chapter 72 Guns and Necklaces
Chapter 72 Guns and Necklaces
After putting the M1928 submachine gun away, Liang En opened another box.It turned out that the box contained two pistols and corresponding tools.
Different from the expensive M1928 submachine gun, the pistol in this box is an absolutely popular M1911A1 pistol. Fortunately, these two guns are well preserved, and the additional antler grip plate adds a lot of value to them.
At the same time, the appearance of these two guns also made Liang En realize that the narrow corridor he saw in the basement was not a corridor at all, but a shooting lane for the bootlegger to use for gun inspection.
Just after Liang En confirmed that the still and the three guns were left over from the Prohibition era, three new cards immediately appeared in his mind, besides two [Detection (N)], there was a new card The bronze-colored R-rank card of .
"Let me see if this card has something to do with the Thompson submachine gun." After seeing the new card, Liang En rubbed his hands excitedly and thought, after all, in that era, it was almost impossible for gangsters to shoot the Thompson on the streets. A symbol of American society at the time.
[Cocktail (R): There are seven origins of cocktails, but the most recognized one is that in 1776, when a bar in New York was about to close, because an officer wanted to drink, he poured the rest of the wine on Together and toss with chicken feathers.
The officers who drank the wine were very satisfied with the taste of the wine, so they asked the waiter the name of the wine, and the waiter said: "This is Cocktails (the plural form of chicken feathers also means chicken tails.), hence the name of the cocktail."
Enhancement card (one-time), consume this card, you can let yourself master the knowledge about cocktail mixing and tasting, but it is only limited to bartending, excluding fancy performances.Note that what is mastered is only skills and does not involve physical strengthening. 】
"What's the situation?" Liang En froze immediately after seeing this card.Because he couldn't understand the relationship between this card and the things he found.
Fortunately, after he climbed to the roof of the car to let his mobile phone find the signal, he found the connection among these things on the Internet through keyword search.
Drinking alcohol was known to be a risky business during the days of Prohibition, so as long as it was available it was fine.
Therefore, in this era, in order to avoid the detection of drinking and reduce the influence of some inferior wines, people are keen to add various things to wine, which in turn promotes the popularity of cocktails.
After the end of the Prohibition, the cocktail formula brought back from Europe raised the grade of this alcoholic beverage to a higher level, making cocktails a mainstream alcoholic beverage.
"When we go back, we must find a few people to form a team." After running several times to evacuate the basement in the basement.Liang En stretched out on his seat and thought about it.
Although Liang En got rid of the physique of an ordinary college student after being strengthened by the card before and gained obvious strengthening, but today's search made him realize that his ability alone is still limited, and his efficiency will be much higher if he has a helper. .
After cleaning up the wine cellar in the tavern yard, it was noon.So Liang En took out the self-heating food he brought earlier and ate it, while thinking about the target of the afternoon search.
After excluding the dormitories with the largest number, Liang En set his target on the building where the former mayor's mistress of this small town was located as his second and last target before work was over.
The reason for this choice is also very simple. Although it is similar to antique jeans or old Coke bottles, it can be sold for tens of hundreds of dollars, and if you collect more, you can sell it for a lot of money.
But Liang En is alone now, so he needs to find something more valuable.Therefore, places similar to coal miners or town dwellers' residential areas were naturally abandoned.
As for places like the bank or the police station, although they look good, considering how dilapidated the town is, the scavengers who came here before probably have visited there countless times, and there probably won't be any good things left.
As for how Liang En knew the room where the mayor's mistress was, it was an accident, because when he was cleaning the underground wine cellar, he accidentally found a discarded ledger, and the ledger recorded some things in the last period of the town. .
The target location was a small two-story building built of red bricks, but due to the passage of time, the entire roof collapsed, turning the house into a pile of ruins.
"Ah—this—" Looking at the pile of construction waste in front of him, Liang En showed a helpless expression.But since everyone has come here, Liang En thinks it's more appropriate to walk around here before leaving.
However, when he was doing a full-scale detection with a metal detector on the ruins with a helpless face, he accidentally heard the siren in the middle of a remnant wall.
"This should be the utility room or the study of the original room." After briefly checking the surroundings, Liang En came to a conclusion, "If the height of the pile of rubble is excluded, then this place should be 1.7 meters tall. The chest of the patient is lower."
And this judgment also shows from the side that the metal reaction in the wall is likely to be something hidden by someone, rather than the building materials of the building itself or something else.
Thinking of this, Liang En immediately took out his hammer and smashed it.Fortunately, this kind of red brick wall is much easier to smash than reinforced concrete, so just three or five times, a big hole appeared in the wall.
Then Liang En quickly reached out and took out the oiled paper bag that was placed in the hole, and then moved away from the dangerous wall that was crumbling because of the violent smash just now.
After running out of the danger zone, Liang En had time to look at the oiled paper bag, which was about the size of a glasses case.Judging from the traces on the oiled paper bag, this thing is indeed well preserved inside the wall.At least not a lot of mold and rot.
"Is it so poor to be a mistress?" Looking at the dusty oil-paper package, Liang En complained and opened it, then opened the box inside.
But the moment the box was opened, he was surprised by what was inside.
"This is simply perverted—" Liang En muttered softly, because what appeared in front of him was a string of absolutely abnormal necklaces: there were seven bird heads inlaid on gold plates on the necklace.
This bird head necklace uses the heads of green and red hummingbirds. Through the Internet picture search, he found that these two kinds of hummingbirds came from Brazil in South America.
I don’t know how the designer thought that the two red bird heads on both sides of the bird head in the middle were hung upside down on the necklace.So once the box was opened, the bird's head stood up directly under the action of gravity.
For Liang En, this jewelry was the cruelest jewelry he had ever seen.Hummingbirds are beautiful, but those pretty little heads should be on their bodies, not on jewelry.
At least in his opinion, this kind of jewelry and human bone necklace can be regarded as a style, both exuding a pure possessive desire with a certain cruel meaning.
"England, London, 18 New Bond Street. 1868." Looking at the words on the box, Liang En felt that this jewelry might not belong to the mistress of the last mayor.After all, the house is old.
But whether it's the cruel craftsmanship or the unknown owner, nothing prevents Liang En from taking this box and the jewelry inside as his own harvest.After all, this is part of history.
