Chapter 50 Gems and Numbers
Because until now Liang En has not opened a card that can help him work, so when faced with this pile of garbage, he had to do it himself.
Fortunately, with the continuous cleaning of this pile of garbage, Liang En discovered that the group of people should have taken apart the damaged furniture and prepared it for firewood, so all that was left were sticks of wood, so they cleaned it up. It's a lot more convenient to get up.
After cleaning out the last pile of rag bags in the corner that were so rotten that it was impossible to see what was in them, a huge wooden board that looked like a pallet appeared in front of Liang En's eyes.
After struggling to remove the board from its original position with ropes, Liang En found an iron door installed on the ground.
Although there was still a large fist-sized lock hanging on the iron door, the entire door was severely corroded, and even several large holes that had been worn through by rust could be seen on the top.
Therefore, Liang En just used the crowbar he carried with him to pry lightly, and the big lock and the iron ring hanging on the iron door were pried off from the door together.
Obviously, this place should be the storage room of the monastery at that time.However, because of the pile of garbage piled up in the room, people who came here later ignored this room.
Think about it too, after all, the Finns here evacuated on their own initiative, and there was enough time to sort out before evacuating.Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to leave any treasure here.
After carefully opening the two iron doors, Liang En smelled a rotten smell directly rushing into the person's nose from below.
So in the next 15 minutes, he could only sit around the abandoned monastery and wait for the cellar under the iron gate to complete the ventilation work.
And while turning around, he found another reason why the cellar had not been discovered: because there was another cellar on the other side of the main building of the monastery, and it was built much larger than the cellar just now.
Apparently, people who came here after discovering the main cellar subconsciously thought that there was only one cellar here, so the small cellar hidden in the monk's dormitory has been preserved to this day under the cover of a large pile of garbage.
After the ventilation work was over, Liang En wore a gas mask, a head-mounted camera, and held a flashlight. Then he carried a box on his back and walked down the stone steps to the cellar. Then he frowned involuntarily. .
Because at the bottom of the steps, a large pile of things covered the floor of the entire cellar tightly, and the stench just now came from this pile of things.
After lightly holding up the flashlight to glance around, he found that a lot of things piled up here were basically tattered clothes or bandages.
"Isn't this the field hospital that threw medical waste here?" After hooking out a bandage with brown and black blood stains with the crowbar that he carried with him, Liang En felt that he had lost eight lifetimes today. Blood mold.
Although the field hospital is a wounded hospital rather than an infectious disease hospital, there is no need to worry about contracting some terrible infectious disease for no reason, but it will still be very troublesome if you encounter a needle or a blade wrapped in your clothes.
Fortunately, with the guidance of that ray of light, Liang En didn't have to search for a needle in a haystack.Soon, he found a tattered military uniform under a pile of messy clothes and blood-stained bandages.
"What is this?" After confirming that there were no needles or blades wrapped in the military uniform, Liang En picked up the ragged military uniform with his gloved hand and inspected it carefully.
This is a Finnish m36 winter military uniform before World War II, which should be regarded as the latest military uniform at that time.However, judging from the large amount of wear and tear on it, the person who wore this military uniform obviously went through a rather difficult journey.
"Since this thing was found after using the [Detection (R)] card on the pen cap, then this thing might be the clothes of that young master Du Lisi."
Looking at this dress, Liang En suddenly thought of something.And just as he was thinking this way, a [Appraisal (N)] card and a [Detection (N)] card appeared in his mind at the same time.
"It seems that I guessed it right." After discovering these two new cards, Liang En became excited all of a sudden.In the subsequent rummaging, he quickly took out a lighter made of bullet casings from the pocket of the ragged clothes.
This is the kind of gadgets that soldiers make out of boredom, which is common on the battlefield. It doesn't look like anything special.But when Liang En opened the lighter, he soon found a mass of dusty metal stuffed inside.
Soon, Liang En used the small tweezers he carried with him to pinch out the dusty metal ball inside. After the metal ball was taken out, a red transparent stone the size of a soybean rolled out of it.
"Wait, I remember that there seemed to be a ruby ring on the list that the housekeeper gave me, saying it was a family heirloom of the Earl's family—" The first time Liang En saw this ruby, he thought of that list.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a strong flashlight he was carrying and observed the ruby.Sure enough, the inclusions in this ruby were exactly as described on that list.
"It seems that these should be the clothes that the war correspondent used to wear." Liang En sighed, then opened the professional storage box just now and put these things in by category.
After completing the storage work, Liang En searched the entire cellar with the metal detector and crowbar he carried with him.Then he returned to the ground with those who found seven or eight coins, a knife and three lighters.
The reason why he did this was not because he was greedy and wanted to find more things, but because he hoped to avoid being seen by others by destroying the scene before he searched for the target he was looking for.
From various perspectives, he is fully capable of going back to work.After all, the importance of him finding these things now far exceeds the sum of the results of the various search teams in the previous decades.
But out of curiosity, the first thing Liang En did after returning to the car was to slowly unfold the dusty metal ball that he had just taken out of the lighter with tools.
This is a piece of lead skin. From the paint left on it, it can be judged that this piece of lead skin should be a part of the toothpaste tube in the past.A four-digit number was engraved with a sharp knife on this piece of lead that was only about the size of an index finger.
"1082, what does this mean?" Looking at this number, Liang En frowned suspiciously. "Bank safe combination, station locker number or something else?"
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Liang En finally had no choice but to give up this guessing game.Because just four numbers will naturally have countless possibilities, and it is impossible to guess what this means without obtaining new information.
"Okay, that's it." After sighing at the number, Liang En threw the piece of lead into a test tube filled with vegetable oil, then started the vehicle and drove towards St. Petersburg.
