Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 700 Passage and Corpse

The passage that appeared in front of Liang En and the others was obviously strengthened by cement, but because of the previous blasting, there were a lot of cracks on the cement layer, which was not considered strong, and the stone above the head was also crumbling.

Because the soil outside has been excavated, the sunlight can just pass through the broken passage to illuminate the inside of the passage. Relying on the sunlight, Liang En and the others found a door at the head of the passage.

However, unlike the heavy armored door as imagined, this door looks like an ordinary iron door, and it doesn't look like the door of an important warehouse.

Soon, a security officer in charge of handling explosives put on anti-gas equipment and walked towards the iron door while wearing a viewing system with fiber optics.

In fact, Liang En and the others had previously suggested whether the security personnel should wear the explosion-proof suits they carried, but they were directly rejected by the security personnel.

He told Liang En that the explosives placed in such treasure locations arranged by the army would often exceed 10kg, and once it exploded, it would not be able to be solved by the protective clothing that people wear.Place
In his opinion, at this time, it is better to take off these protective clothing in exchange for higher flexibility than to wear heavy protective clothing for a little comfort.

Soon, he came to the iron door, and then put the fiber optic probe in through a rusted hole on the iron door, and then observed the situation inside.

"There is a cluster grenade tied to this door." After observing for a few minutes, the security guard said to Liang En and the others through the walkie-talkie he carried with him.

"There is an unknown type of shell attached to the back, so it will take a little time to disarm these explosives. Fortunately, this task is not too difficult, so give me half an hour and I should be able to solve these problems gone."

"Ok, you'd better be careful." Liang En said into the communicator. "As far as I know, those devils didn't just use ordinary shells in World War II."

"Don't worry, this is a very simple mechanism, and it won't be too difficult to deal with." The security officer manipulated his tools and said, "The other party seems to have left in a hurry, and there is no time to design a complicated defense system."

The facts are just as the bomb disposal expert judged before.It took only ten minutes for them to successfully disarm the explosive trap on the door and open the door.

In fact, this trap was originally a highly secretive and lethal trap, but time has changed everything: the large holes corroded on the door made it easy for Liang En and the others to see the structure of the trap and deal with it.

Just as the explosives were being discharged ahead, Liang En and the others also began to study the remains found in the previous passage, only to find that their previous guess was wrong, and these people did not look like forced laborers.

This judgment was made because on the one hand, the teeth of these people were well maintained, and they did not look like those laborers who had been abused.

On the other hand, gold teeth, rings, and a thousand needles with less than 30% of the original were found on these remains, and these things are absolutely impossible to appear on the laborers.

"This may be an armed Japanese, or it may be a Japanese soldier." Liang En said in a low voice after looking at the examination results of the corpse. "I am more inclined to the latter, because the fragments of the Thousand Needle were found here."

The Thousand Needle is a kind of amulet in Japanese culture, which is about one meter long and is stitched by a thousand women each.Thousand needles are gifts given by Japanese women to soldiers at home when they are leaving, to bless the soldiers for a long time.

This habit began at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, and Japanese officials began to consider it a superstition, but after the Second World War, Japanese militarists began to encourage the production of this item.

In addition to the Japanese army, the 442nd regiment composed of Japanese in the US Army also has this habit, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were given these things when they went to Iraq to perform all peacekeeping missions after the war.

In other words, as long as you see this thing, you are basically sure that it is related to the Japanese army, so it should be very important to confirm the treasure in this place from the side, even to the point where the Japanese need to kill their own people.

After the brief explanation, the bomb disposal work was successfully completed. After confirming that there were no other traps, Liang En asked most of the people to disperse, while he, Joan of Arc and two other security personnel walked into the room wearing fully enclosed protective clothing.

"This thing is a mustard gas shell. It should be used by the Type 99 81mm mortar." Liang En said after briefly checking the shell, and then turned his attention to a remains beside him.

Unlike the outside, the environmental impact of this body is much smaller, so the overall preservation is good, and it can be roughly seen the identity of the deceased and what he did before his death.

"No wonder why I said that the explosive trap is strange. It seems that the Japanese officer directly set the bomb in this warehouse, and then committed suicide." The former EOD officer said looking at the remains.

Although the remains of this sentence are only the clothes on top and are tattered, judging from the remaining parts, it can be seen that the lieutenant committed suicide. After all, the bullet holes on the temple and the pistol in his hand can explain some problems.

"This guy should have snatched this pistol, but unfortunately we will never know who the original owner of this gun is." After briefly checking the deceased's belongings, he immediately realized that this should not be the other party. with guns.

This judgment is because the saber carried by the other party is a cheap weapon made by a machine, which proves that the conditions of the other party's family are very average, and they are not those rich people with family inheritance.

During World War II, a low-ranking officer in the Japanese army was not paid much. It was barely enough to buy a private gun, but it was definitely not enough money to buy this Browning with engraved nickel plating and ivory grip. m1910 pistol.

The most important thing is that after carefully inspecting this well-preserved pistol, Liang En saw a "Zhang" character on the sleeve of the pistol, which was probably snatched from a certain Chinese.

After checking the pile of bones at the entrance, the four of them continued to walk in along the passage. At this time, one small room after another appeared on both sides of the road.

There are no signs on the doors of these rooms, but after entering the room, they can see that there are bunk beds, tables and chairs, and things like shelves in these rooms.

In addition, these rooms are empty, there is no garbage in it, and there are no materials that seem to be useful, and there is not even a bit of metal left except for the nails on the furniture.

From this, it can be inferred that the devils who left here should have evacuated here in a planned way, and there is a high probability that it belongs to the era of shortage of supplies at the end of World War II, so this place is as clean as a dog licks it.

This passage is not long, it looks like only fifteen or six meters, and there are not many houses on both sides, so after checking the six houses on both sides of the passage, they quickly came to the door at the end forward.

"Why is it a wooden door?" Joan frowned after looking at the wooden door nailed together in the corridor camera. "This base feels really weird."
