Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

In those old rooms, there were some metal parts on the beams to fix the wood, but what Liang En was detecting was the section in the middle of the beams. Theoretically, there would be no metal parts.

After realizing that they might have discovered something extraordinary, Liang En and the other three people immediately used the boxes and furniture in the attic to temporarily build a small three-story platform. Then Jeanne, the youngest of the three, climbed up with the pile of things. Go up.

"There's something up there." When she just climbed up and was level with the beam, Joan of Arc noticed something was wrong at the first sight and shouted. "There are traces of mezzanine on the beams. Give me a tool to open this thing."

Judging from the photos taken with the mobile phone, it was a groove dug out of the beam, and it was covered with a rectangular piece of wood the size of a palm and the same size as the groove.

To be honest, this method of hiding is very subtle. In addition, this location was in the blind spot of human vision, so it is indeed difficult to find the piece of wood after it is covered tightly.

However, after a long period of time, both the piece of wood and the beam were slightly deformed, causing a gap to appear where the two things were originally combined. Therefore, when Jeanne went up to look for it, she could see the problem in this place at a glance.

After Liang En handed over the tools, Jeanne quickly used these tools to pry open the interlayer, and then took out a palm-sized bag from the inside, which was coated with a layer of wax and wrapped in newspaper.

Soon, several people came to a private room on the second floor. Then Liang En sat on the chair by the window and slowly removed the wax from the outside of the paper bag with the help of the sun, and then opened the paper bag carefully.

In an instant, seven or eight rings and two or three other pieces of jewelry fell out of the paper bag, but Liang En ignored the jewelry and focused on the piece of paper.

This is a piece of paper that has turned yellow, with dense German written on it in blackened blue ink. The content talks about the resistance organizations in the Prague area becoming active and that a riot may occur at any time.

"May 1, 1945 -" Liang En frowned slightly as he looked at the last time the payment was signed, because this time point is very important in the history of Prague.

According to historical records, popular uprisings broke out across Czechoslovakia from May 1 to May 5, 1945. On the morning of May 5, a people's uprising also broke out in Prague, and the German high command deployed the "Center" Army Group to suppress the uprising in Prague.

Under this situation, the rebels began to ask for help from the Allied and Soviet forces and received a quick response. On May 6, the Soviet Union's 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts launched the Battle of Prague.

Because the German army during this period had reached the end of its strength, during the battles from May 6 to 11, Germany's "Center" Army Group was quickly defeated and completely annihilated. The Soviet Union liberated a large area of ​​land, including Prague.

This war was also the last battle in the Soviet-German war. Just five days before the outbreak of this battle, Mustache committed suicide in the Berlin bunker. At the same time, the Reichstag Building in Berlin was also captured by the Soviet army.

Judging from the information on the wrapping paper, it can be seen that the note and the contents inside were probably left by the local Gestapo when they learned that their defeat was certain. It was probably to hide some items that were inconvenient to carry. .

"We did find something good this time." Just when Liang En had just finished analyzing the information contained in the paper, Fan Meng, who was looking at the rings on the side, also made a big discovery.

Liang En turned his head and saw that Fan Meng was holding a silver ring without any gems inlaid in his hand. The outside of the ring was densely engraved with reliefs, and the inside was engraved with text.

After careful observation, Liang En discovered that the front of the ring had a skull and crossed thigh bone pattern, and the side had a swastika badge, a triangular frame with a rune sieg, a hexagonal frame with the rune Hagal and a skull. The runes Heilszeichen inside the circular frame opposite the head.

In addition to these runes, all the gaps on the outside of the ring are filled with reliefs of oak branches and leaves, while on the inner ring of the ring, 21.6.44 H. Himmler and a name are engraved in italics.

"Spicy guard ring!" At this time, Liang En also recognized what this silver ring, which seemed inconspicuous at first glance, was. From various angles, this seemingly inconspicuous silver ring was Rings are a good thing.

This ring is considered an extremely precious type of German cultural relic of World War II, because according to regulations, every World War II German soldier who received a rank military ring will have the ring taken back after he retires, is demoted, or is killed in battle, even to their family members. No right to inherit.

These recovered rings will be sent to the Sanctuary in the cave near the Guards Vewels Castle. According to records, by January 1, 1945, about 65% of the rings were returned to the Sanctuary of the Skull Ring Recipients. , 26% are still worn by their owners, and 10% were lost on the battlefield by their owners.

Also in the spring of 1945, with the defeat of the German army, Himmler ordered the use of explosives to seal the church in a cave near Wewels Castle to prevent it from being captured by the Allies. This site has not yet been discovered.

As a result, optimistic estimates of the number of such rings in existence are between 6,000 and 7,000. However, in fact, most people believe that the stock of this thing is at most half of this optimistic estimate.

Therefore, there are almost no such things on the market now, and the price is naturally not cheap. Liang En has seen similar rings at auctions before, and the final transaction price was as high as 15,000 pounds.

Considering that the Gestapo was a subordinate organization of the Guards, and the Soviet army would basically shoot all Guards members on the battlefield, it is possible that this ring was left behind by a local Gestapo when they fled for their lives.

After all, the Soviet army was close at hand and Germany was clearly doomed, so the Gestapo who were here before would naturally not bring something like this that would reveal their identity when they fled for their lives.

When Liang En confirmed the situation of the ring, he immediately obtained two cards, one [Detection (N)] and one [Appraisal (N)].

Obviously, the owner of this ring is not someone who left important traces in history, so the card given only corresponds to this ring and does not have much added value.

In the paper bag just now, except for this silver ring, the rest were all jewelry made of gold, some of which were inlaid with precious stones. Considering that this place was the headquarters of the Gestapo, the fate of the original owner of these jewelry is not very optimistic.

Soon, the three people used pencils and paper to rub the words engraved on the inside of the jewelry. According to Liang En's tradition, except for the guard ring, other jewelry will be handed over to the relevant local departments.

Because according to the law, after discovering the hidden crispy plunder, it must be handed over to the relevant local departments free of charge, otherwise it is a serious crime.

If these plundered things were cultural relics from China, Liang En might take the risk to find a way to send these things back to China, but taking such a risk for some jewelry is obviously not worth it.

But just after they finished rubbing all the words, Liang En focused on one of the gold lockets inlaid with gems, because the corner of this locket was engraved with the following words: Alphonse Maria Mucha.
