Chapter 49 The Monastery
With such doubts, Liang En and Pierce continued to search.It's a pity that this pen cap seems to have exhausted their luck in one go.
So in the next few hours, they only found five or six pieces of deformed bullets and broken shrapnel, a 50-pot coin of Finnish marks and a copper button that had been embroidered into a ball.
"The warhead is a standard 7.62mm Mosin Nagant rifle ammunition. As for the shrapnel, the shrapnel is too fragmented to see the original appearance." After returning to the vehicle with this pile of trophies, the two analyzed it by the lights in the car. stand up.
"However, judging from the thickness of the shrapnel, it should be left behind after the explosion of small-caliber artillery shells. Considering that they were shot by 45mm artillery at that time, these shells most likely came from that armored vehicle."
"So we are really lucky this time." Pierce put a smile on his face immediately, and then pinched the silver pen cap with two fingers. "I think with this, we should be able to get paid from that earl."
"I think it should be—" Looking at the silver-plated pen cap that shone golden under the light after being cleaned, Liang En fell into thinking again.
He really couldn't figure out why this thing that should be left behind by the young master Du Lisi would point him to a location tens of kilometers away in the urban area of Vyborg.
"—Lawrence, Lawrence, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Liang En suddenly staring at the golden pen cap in a daze, Pierce immediately shouted to him, with a nervous look on his face.
"It's okay, it's just that this pen cap made me think of something." After Pierce shouted, Liang En also woke up from his thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Pierce asked casually, but soon a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "Did you use your amazing magic—"
"Uh—of course not." After Pierce said this, Liang En also realized the aftereffects of the last time he pretended to be a ghost, so he quickly shook his head and said. "But I'm thinking about one thing, is that Master Du Lisi really died here? Is there any other possibility—"
"Are you saying that the other party might have escaped?" Pierre asked, frowning. "But if the other party really escaped from this area, why didn't they contact the family afterwards?"
"Then there are many possibilities. Maybe the other party directly found a commoner lover and eloped with her." Liang En shrugged and said.
Of course, this is just a joke.After everyone laughed together, the two really began to seriously analyze the records left by the previous group of people.Soon, they found a blank area left by the previous teams.
"Lawrence, your guess may be right." After checking the materials he had read before, Pierce said to Liang En in a serious tone, "The other party may have really gone in the direction of Finland back then. "
The reason why he made such a judgment was that after inquiring a series of documents, Pierce realized that the other party had put all his attention on this battlefield and the Soviet Union's archives, and subconsciously ignored the files from Finland. Condition.
As for why this happened, it is also very simple, because the Finnish side has given comprehensive help since the disappearance of the young master Du Lisi, so the searchers subconsciously fully adopted the information given by the Finnish side.
Therefore, until Liang En raised this point, the two of them realized that among the many search teams before, none of the search teams went to Finland for an actual inspection.
"Yes, so we can split into two groups tomorrow." Liang En said after thinking about it. "You find a way to check the records of all the unidentified people who came down from the battlefield recorded by the Finnish side since the disappearance of Master Du Lisi."
"how about you?"
"I'll go to Viborg tomorrow to have a look, maybe I can find some valuable clues." Liang En smiled and pointed to himself and said, "You know, I always have some weird good luck."
"I understand, just like the tires exploded on the group of new spicy organization cars we drove on the highway last time." Pierce made an OK gesture, "I hope both of us will have enough good luck tomorrow."
After breakfast the next morning, the two of them split up. Pierce went straight to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, through the earl's relationship to inquire about the unknown people on the battlefield, while Liang En drove straight to Vyborg.
Viborg is a very small city with a population of just over 7.So after pretending to go around the small city, he drove the car over according to the light spot in his mind.
In just 10 minutes, he came to the edge of a monastery with only ruins along a road that had obviously been abandoned for a long time.
"So it's here!" After matching his location with the electronic map, Liang En quickly figured out what was going on with this monastery.
According to the Finnish military map he had obtained from the housekeeper, the monastery was requisitioned as a field hospital during the Winter War, and it did not stop operating until they were forced to abandon Viborg.
The reason why this monastery was abandoned is also very simple, because after Finland was defeated and ceded to Viborg, almost everyone in the city chose to leave their homes and retreat with the army.
Afterwards, the new immigrants from the Soviet Union would naturally not continue to use this religious site in the social atmosphere at that time, so it was directly abandoned.
Of course, the abandonment here is also related to the fact that this is a Lutheran monastery, and Russians generally believe in the Orthodox Church.Otherwise, the other party would not have chosen to start anew and abandon this monastery with a mixed structure of masonry and choose to rebuild the Orthodox church in the city center.
But for Liang En, the complete abandonment of this monastery is good news.After all, for these countries where most of the people believe in religion, excavating churches is always a taboo thing.
After checking who was around, Liang En jumped out of his off-road vehicle, and walked into the ruins of the monastery with a metal detector and a shovel.
Obviously, the war that year also affected this monastery, so many obvious traces of shelling were left on the walls of the main building of the monastery and on the ground in the courtyard.
Fortunately, judging from the ruins of the monastery with a roughly complete main structure, it is likely that this place was not used as a defensive building by both sides of the war at all, so the overall damage was not serious.
Following the direction indicated by the map in his mind, Liang En quickly bypassed the core building of the monastery and came to a row of bungalows behind.According to the traditional layout, this should be the room where monks lived in the monastery.
"It seems that this place is regarded as a warehouse." After pushing away the room where the light spot was, Liang En found that half of the dormitory's stuff was piled up in the dormitory, most of which were similar to destroyed furniture or rotten things. Fallen canvas or something.
"The next job is not very easy." Looking at the huge pile of garbage in the room, Liang En muttered with a sigh of relief, because he found that the thing he was looking for was at the bottom of the huge pile of garbage.
