The reason why he is willing to accompany Pierce to Scotland this time is also very simple. Apart from the mutual help among friends, the most important reason is that in his impression, there are several hidden treasures in Scotland.
So this time he went there and planned to drop by to investigate on the spot and see which treasures hadn't been dug up in this world.
So after arriving in Edinburgh and finding a hotel to stay in, Liang En went straight to visit the Scottish Museum.
After a brief visit, he found that just as he had imagined before, the difference between the two worlds made several famous treasures undiscovered, and there were also a few more treasures that he had never heard of in his previous life. past treasures.
So at the last stop of this visit, in front of the transparent glass cabinet containing Galloway's treasure.Liang En slowly summarized and sorted out his discovery this time, and then determined the target he was going to search for next with the memory in his mind.
But before that, the most important thing is to collect a sufficient number of Victorian furniture.According to Pierce, this business was arranged by an American super-rich who just came to London.
This rich man, who is often seen on TV and newspapers, bought a high-end residence in Knightsbridge, London, so he needed some antique furniture to decorate his new home.
Early the next morning, Liang En and Pierce entered the old town of Edinburgh, and then began to look for those old townhouses and knocked on their doors one by one, and then asked the owners of those houses if they had any antiques. furniture.
The owners of most of these houses refused their requests, and some even closed the door directly in front of them before they finished speaking, but some people were willing to open the door to allow them to see if there was anything they needed .
It is a pity that for ordinary people, it is really difficult to distinguish different furniture.So many times the so-called Victorian furniture enthusiastically recommended by the owners of those families is actually just old Victorian furniture.
Fortunately, Liang En and Pierce collected a lot of information during this process, which helped them greatly narrow down the scope of their search.
"We can go directly to the No. 207 house in the middle of this street next." Liang En said to Pierce after coming out of a house.
"Because several people on this street said just now that the old man in that family had been fond of collecting all kinds of old things before, and his children didn't take most of the things in the house when they divided the inheritance."
So the two of them quickly came to the house. Unlike other houses on the street, the windows of this house were all nailed with wooden boards, and the front of the door looked a little dirty.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liang En and Pierce directly took the ladder and took turns to climb to the windows on both sides of the gate, and then looked inside through the gaps in the wooden boards.
Fortunately, probably because of the wooden boards nailed to the window frame, the curtains were not drawn inside the window, and the specific situation in the room could still be seen through the gap in the window.
The overall interior of the house still looks very good, although some cabinet doors and some drawers are not closed, and there are some sundries on the ground.But overall it looks pretty good enough.
More importantly, according to Pierce's judgment, the coffee table and side cabinets in the living room should all be Victorian furniture, and they should be in good condition.
After checking the situation in the room, the two of them began to look for the contact information of the owner of the house.Soon, after cleaning up a dirty wooden board nailed to the door, the two found the contact information written on the wooden board.
After the bell rang three times, the call was connected.It was a middle-aged man who answered the phone.After learning about Liang En's purpose, the middle-aged man said that he would come over for an interview soon.
Ten minutes later, an electric car parked quietly at the door of the house, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and tie got out of the car.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the lawyer who is in charge of this house." The man said after shaking hands with Liang En and the others. "As for the work in this area, the owner of this house has entrusted me with full authority."
Speaking, the lawyer showed them a document to prove his statement, and then asked Liang En what they wanted to do this time.
After Liang En and the others indicated that they wanted to purchase some antique furniture, the lawyer made a few phone calls, and then quickly expressed his decision.
"As long as you are willing to pay 2000 pounds, then everything in the room belongs to you. You are given two days to take as much as you want, and you don't need to clean the room."
"Okay, deal." After hearing the other party say that there is no need to clean the room, Liang En immediately extended his hand and shook hands with the other party to announce the deal.After all, everyone’s time is limited, and the wallets are relatively bulging recently, so it is more efficient to spend more money to save time.
After the two parties handed over the money with one hand and the key with the other, Liang En used the key to open the door that hadn't been opened for several years.Fortunately, the previous lawyer was more responsible, so the door lock did not rust.
Because they had two full days to spend in this double-storey townhouse with an attic, neither Liang En nor Pierce was in a hurry to move the furniture to the car, but started to inspect the house.
"Let me see what's good." While Pierce was rummaging through boxes and cabinets on the first floor, Liang En climbed to the second floor to estimate the structure of the room, and then stood in a small corridor and used a [Detection (N)] .
In an instant, the entire room was surrounded by this force within the detection range of the card.Then Liang En felt a 3D map of the entire room suddenly appeared in his mind, and at the same time a light spot was marked on the location of the attic.
"It turns out that this is the way to mark the targets outside the field of vision." Liang En looked at the targets in his mind curiously, and at the same time showed a clear expression on his face, which meant that he had mastered some information about cheating fingers. knowledge of usage.
After climbing up a rusty iron escalator to the attic, Liang En felt as if he had entered a garbage dump.Because a lot of things are piled up in the attic, and even only a narrow path is left for people to pass through.
Judging by the plastic bags around and the layer of ash that had accumulated on the floor, the place had probably not been visited in years.
After taking a rough look around the attic, Liang En took out a filter mask and gloves from his carry-on bag to put on for himself, and then took out an iron clip and an iron rod with a hook.
This is the experience summed up by some veterans in this industry, because many people were accidentally wrapped in iron nails, broken porcelain pieces or needles when facing such things. Something hurt.
Fortunately, the overall condition of this attic is not bad, and there are not so many dangerous items in it.
So after carefully unwrapping the large cloth bag that contained the target's bed sheet, Liang En quickly put down his tools and began to clean up the contents of the original bag with both hands.
