Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 72 Gun and Necklace

After putting away the M1928 submachine gun, Liang En opened another box. It turned out that the box contained two pistols and corresponding tools.

Different from the M1928 submachine gun that is now expensive, the pistol in this box is an absolutely popular M1911A1 pistol. Fortunately, these two guns are well preserved, and there are additional antler grip plates that add 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 had seen in the basement was not a corridor at all, but a target lane for the bootlegger to test his guns.

Just after Liang En confirmed that the still and the three guns were all left over from the prohibition era, three new cards immediately appeared in his mind. In addition to two [Detection (N)], there was also a new card. Bronze-colored R-rated cards.

"Let me see if this card is related to the Thompson submachine gun." After seeing the newly released card, Liang En rubbed his hands excitedly and thought, after all, in that era, it was almost common for gangs to shoot at the streets with Thompsons. A symbol of American society at that time.

[Cocktail (R): There are seven origins of cocktails, but the most recognized one is in 1776. When a bar in New York was about to close, an officer wanted to drink, so he poured the remaining wine in Together and stir 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. The waiter said: "This is Cocktails (the plural form of chicken feathers, also means chicken tails.), hence the name of the cocktail."

Enhanced card (one-time use). By consuming this card, you can gain knowledge about cocktail mixing and tasting, but it is limited to bartending and does not include fancy performances. Note that mastering only skills does not involve physical strengthening. 】

"What's going on?" After seeing this card, Liang En was immediately stunned. Because he couldn't figure out the relationship between this card and the things he found.

Fortunately, after he climbed on the roof of the car to let his mobile phone find a signal, he found the connection between these things on the Internet through keyword searches.

We all know that drinking alcohol was a risky thing to do in the days when Prohibition was in effect, so just having a drink was a good thing.

Therefore, in this era, in order to avoid being caught drinking and to reduce the impact of some inferior wine, people were keen to add various things to wine, which in turn promoted the popularity of cocktails.

After Prohibition ended, cocktail recipes returned from Europe raised the level of this alcoholic beverage to a higher level, making cocktails a mainstream alcoholic beverage.

"When I go back, I must find a few people to form a team." After running several times to empty out the basement in the basement. Liang En thought as he spread out on his seat.

Although Liang En got rid of the original physique of an ordinary college student after being strengthened by cards and obtained obvious enhancements, today's search made him realize that his own abilities are still limited, and it would be much more efficient if he had helpers. .

After finishing cleaning the wine cellar in the tavern yard, it was noon. So Liang En took out the self-heating food he had brought before and ate it while thinking about the goal of his afternoon search.

After eliminating the largest number of dormitories, Liang En targeted the building where the former mayor's mistress of this town was located as his second and last target before calling it a day.

The reason for this choice is also very simple. Although antique jeans or old Coke bottles can be sold for dozens or hundreds of dollars each, if you collect more, you can sell them for a lot of money.

But Liang En is alone now, so he needs to find something more valuable. Therefore, places like coal miners or townspeople's residential areas were naturally abandoned.

As for places like banks or police stations, although they look nice, considering the shabby condition of the town, the scavengers who came here before have probably visited there countless times, so there probably won't be anything good left.

As for how Liang En knew the room where the mayor's mistress was, it was an accident, because he accidentally discovered a discarded account book while cleaning the underground wine cellar, and the account book recorded some events in the last period of this town. .

The target location was a two-story red brick building. However, 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 debris in front of him, Liang En showed a helpless expression. But now that he's here, Liang En thinks it's more appropriate to walk around here before walking.

But just as he was using a metal detector to comprehensively detect the ruins with a look of helplessness, he unexpectedly heard an alarm sound in the middle of a remaining wall.

"This should be the utility room or study room of the original room." After briefly checking the surrounding situation, Liang En came to a conclusion, "If the height of the rubble pile is excluded, then this place should be 1.7 meters tall. The person’s chest is lower.”

And this judgment also shows from the side that the metal reaction in the wall is most likely something hidden in it, rather than the building materials of the building itself or something else.

Thinking of this, Liang En immediately took out a hammer and smashed it. Fortunately, this kind of red brick wall is much easier to smash than reinforced concrete, so it only took a few hits before a big hole appeared in the wall.

Then Liang En quickly reached out and took out the oil paper bag placed in the hole, and then moved away as quickly as possible from the dangerous wall that was crumbling due to the heavy smash just now.

After running out of the danger zone, Liang En had time to look at the oil paper bag, which was about the same size as a glasses case. Judging from the traces on the oil paper package, this thing was indeed well preserved inside the wall. At least there wasn't much mold or rot.

"Are all mistresses so poor?" Looking at the dusty oil paper bag, Liang En complained and opened it, then opened the box inside.

But the moment he opened the box, he was shocked by what was inside.

"This is simply perverted -" Liang En muttered quietly, because what appeared in front of him now was an absolutely abnormal necklace: there were seven bird heads inlaid on gold plates.

This bird head necklace uses green and red hummingbird heads. Through online image searches, he found that these two hummingbirds come from Brazil, South America.

I don’t know how the designer came up with the idea that the two red bird heads on either side of the middle bird head were hung upside down on the necklace. So after opening the box, the bird's head stood up directly under the action of gravity.

To Liang En, this jewelry was the cruelest jewelry he had ever seen. Hummingbirds are indeed beautiful, but these pretty little heads should stay on their bodies, not on jewelry.

At least in his opinion, this kind of jewelry and the human bone necklace are of the same style, both revealing a pure possessiveness with a certain cruelty.

"18 New Bond Street, London, England. 1868." Looking at the text on the box, Liang En felt that this jewelry might not have belonged to the last mayor's mistress. After all, the house is old.

However, neither the cruel craftsmanship nor the unknown owner prevented Liang En from considering the box and the jewelry inside as his own gain. After all, this is part of history.
