Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 876 Locked
"Of course, I'm here this time to share these clues with you, and I hope you can find some valuable information to decipher the mystery of the disappearance of these fortunes." Nelson said after a pause.

"As you said, I sent people to start a search when I realized that it contained clues about the missing ship, but the results were not much."

"Probably because of the distance, we found nothing in that area other than a very small amount of wreckage that was clearly washed ashore through our search efforts."

"Understood, do you have any other information besides these two documents? I think it is difficult to find clues based on these two documents alone." Liang En nodded slightly, then raised his head and said.

He could indeed obtain enough information from the wreckage through the cards, but this time it was a joint exploration, so there must be a suitable reason to find those things.

"In addition to these two documents, I have also collected a lot of marginal documents, but there is no direct clue about the ship in those documents."

Nelson said with some embarrassment, and at the same time passed another document to Liang En.

"This is the record of the army that was active in that area and the surrounding sea area at that time. Of course, these records are not comprehensive. Especially before the defeat of the Japanese War, a large number of documents were destroyed, so that many records are blank."

"Understood, but at least it's not completely blank." Liang En opened a record and said, "Please give me some time, I may need to conduct a comprehensive analysis."

"No problem, as long as it takes." Nelson said with a smile. "Waiting takes time, but waiting for preparation is very valuable."

So in the following time, Liang En began to look through the very boring records. He thought that if he really wanted to find clues, he had to use cards, but unexpectedly found some clues in the records.

These clues come from the records of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army Air Corps, and the old Japanese Army and Navy, and are specially selected by Liang En using his divination skills.

At that time, he just made a simple attempt with the mood of giving it a try, but he really didn't expect that there were actually contents related to that ship in these hundreds of documents.

After combining these records from different countries and different time periods, Liang En unexpectedly found clues about the previous missing ship.

The first clue came from Japanese Navy maintenance records, which indicated that the submarine was on patrol between Australia and Papua New Guinea, but returned almost a week later than expected.

In addition, during the maintenance process, they found that there were marks left by the submarine after being shot, but the bullets on it were basically about 7mm, so they did not cause any fundamental damage to the submarine?

For the submarine force, this is actually quite a common situation, after all, regardless of the route selection, the existence of the enemy.Changes in ocean currents and so on may affect the return time.

Especially for the submarine force, they often need to lurk for a long time, so that many times they will not even send a telegram to avoid their own exposure.

As for the bullet holes on the hull, it is more normal. After all, it was an era of war, and it is normal for warships to suffer combat damage when performing combat missions.

But a detail caught Liang En's attention, that is, the time and location of the patrol coincided with the time and location of the disappearance of the merchant ship.

According to the records, multiple heavy machine guns were temporarily installed on the merchant ship at that time.If this evidence is only a side evidence, then the address detection report from the US Army Aviation shows clearer information.

According to information from a U.S. military reconnaissance plane that took off from Australia, they once photographed a merchant ship and a submarine close together, and believed that it was a Japanese camouflaged supply ship resupplying the submarine.

After realizing that the two ships lacked air defense power, the reconnaissance plane launched an attack very bravely, but because they were reconnaissance planes, the firepower on the plane was weak, so they just fired with the machine guns on the plane and left.

Although they reported the information very timely at that time, they did not respond in time when the front line was in chaos and failures, so that they should come back a week later, but there was nothing on the beach at that time.

As for the third information from the Japanese army, the other party hinted that the navy may have hidden something, but then your time has already arrived in 1944, and the army at the end of its strength would not be able to check the situation in that area.

After combining the contents of these three documents, Liang En could draw a simple conclusion: the ship probably fell into the hands of the Japanese, and then it was secretly hidden in the surrounding area.

The only good news is that the thing still stays on the island with a high probability. After all, if it is not on the island, the Japanese army will not propose to inspect it, and the submarine at that time could not transport all the treasures on board.

More importantly, if those people really took away the treasures on the ship, there will always be some outflows for a long time, but now they have not found any traces of the treasures.

Although everyone doesn't know what those extra treasures are for the time being, but there is a complete list of lost items in the museum, so it doesn't look like it was taken away before that nothing has appeared for such a long time.

"So considering the manpower that could be mobilized at that time and the local environment, I think we only need to search for content within 3-5km from this location." After completing all the inspections, Liang En said to Nelson who was waiting before.

"If I'm not wrong, the hiding of things in this area is very likely to use the natural environment or directly dig holes and fill them up, because only in this way can the hiding work be completed under the shortage of manpower."

"It's not easy to search in such a jungle." After seeing the circle drawn by Liang En, Nelson frowned. "Can this place be identified?"

In his eyes, this beach was about 30 kilometers away from the tribe where the wreck was found, and he had never set his sights on this beach before, so after Liang En put forward his point of view, his heart was naturally a little drummed.

"At least it can be analyzed from a series of clues." Liang En pointed to the pile of documents and said, "I can guarantee this with my reputation."

According to his analysis, the cargo ship was probably destroyed and used to destroy the remains. As for the wreckage found, it probably drifted along the ocean current, which does not represent the original location of the ship.

"Okay, then let's go over there and start searching." Nelson said after hearing Liang En's assurance. “Hopefully everything goes well for us going forward.”

"I believe we should be able to go smoothly." Liang En said after lightly bumping fists with Nelson. "At least from the current evidence, it is most likely that the treasure is in this place."
