Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 13 Goal, Leipzig



The phone bill in the UK is not very cheap, so Liang En simply drove to the Emerald Thrift Store to interview Pierce. When he drove to the door of the grocery store, he found a red container truck parked in the parking lot not far away.

"Good morning, Uncle Murphy." After entering the door, he unexpectedly found that in addition to Pierce himself, his father Pierce Sr. was also in the store.

"Good morning, Lawrence." After saying hello, Old Pierce walked out the door. "You two talk first, and I'll go out and check the truck. After all, the condition of the truck is very important when traveling long distances."

"Didn't your father say he wanted to live a retired life? Why do you want to go this time?" After watching old Pierce leave the room and close the door, Liang En couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Pierce behind the counter.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Pierce shrugged. "If we go there, if we want to bring back the loot instead of disposing of it at a low price, we must have a big truck, but the problem is that neither of us can drive that kind of big truck."

"Considering the confidentiality of this operation, I had to call my father in the end. Fortunately, when he was doing business, he traveled all over Western Europe, so he was not only familiar with the road conditions, but also had a driver's license in that field."

"This is so lucky. By the way, why did that housekeeper lend you this car? You know, no one will be nice to another person for no reason."

"Don't worry, this is mainly the butler's compensation for us being screwed by the Russian tycoon last time." Pierce spread his hands and said.

"After all, he was the one who introduced us to the job last time, but he didn't expect that the other party could do it so well. In this case, in order to restore his reputation, he is willing to make certain compensation to us in this regard."

“For us, the qualification for the auction of an East German state reserve warehouse and the rental of a container truck are very important and even related to our careers, but for that steward, these expenses are far less than them. The family’s reputation.”

"In other words, we can each get what we need." After hearing this, Liang En felt relieved. "That's fine - when should we set off?"

"In three days, although the European Union is now integrated, it is not too troublesome for us to drive from here to Germany. But it is still a long trip across several countries, so it is best to make some preparations."

The straight-line distance from London to Leipzig is more than 860 kilometers. It may take less than an hour by plane. Even if you drive a freight truck without stopping, one day will be enough.

However, because the truck only had one driver, Old Pierce, and because some border crossing procedures were more troublesome, Liang En and the three of them drove the large truck into the city of Leipzig at noon on the second day after departure. .

Under the leadership of Old Pierce, the three of them drove the car to a parking lot on the outskirts of the city designed for long-distance truck drivers to rest, and then began to arrange the next action plan.

"The auction won't start until tomorrow, so I think we can go check out that warehouse today." After the car stopped, Liang En said while flipping through the map on his phone.

"I checked the map and found that the reservoir area is located next to an abandoned railway branch. It is only more than 700 meters away from here. You can definitely walk there."

"It's actually so close." Upon hearing this, Pierce immediately came over and looked at the map in Liang En's hand. "If this is the case, it would be good to take a look at it in advance, so that you can at least have an idea of ​​what's going on."

"Okay, you two young men, go ahead, I'll look at the car here." Old Pierce said after hearing Liang En's plan. "By the way, remember to take the items in the accessories box with you when you go out, and be sure to come back before dark."

"Understood -" Liang En and Pierce said in unison, and then each took out a steel pipe as short as an arm from the tool box behind the seat and stuffed it into his clothes.

When they were driving on the road, they had already discovered that after entering the eastern region of Germany, the overall situation around them was significantly worse than that in the west.

In addition, the walls surrounding this parking lot are covered with various graffiti. So they will naturally make some preparations for this when leaving the car. .

"There's something wrong with this place." Looking at the dilapidated houses and graffiti on the walls around him, Liang En subconsciously lowered the brim of his baseball cap. Because he found that there were many contents related to Germany during World War II in the street graffiti.

"You're right, this should be an industrial area with various living facilities in the past." Pierce also made a motion of lowering the brim of his hat. "But now it's abandoned and seems to be occupied by some far-right guy."

"Yeah, this place is obviously not very friendly to me." Liang En frowned as he looked at Pierce beside him who wanted to cover his face. "I am Asian, so it is naturally dangerous in a place like this. You are a pure European."

"Europeans are different from each other. We Irish are at the bottom of the contempt chain of the European population, almost at the same level as the Poles. In the eyes of those bastards, our status may not be as high as you Chinese."

Fortunately, although the surrounding environment looked bad, there was no one on the road because it was close to lunch time. Therefore, the two people reached their target very smoothly.

The target was a very large warehouse located next to a railroad track that was already overgrown with weeds. But when the two people came to the faded black iron door, they found that the iron door and even the big lock of the chain door were rusted to death.

"Is there no one in there?" Pierce asked. After circling the warehouse wall, they couldn't find a place to enter. After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response.

"Probably not." After looking through the crack in the door for a long time, Liang En felt that it was possible that this door had not been opened since the end of the Cold War.

Because through the crack in the door, he discovered that the ground that was supposed to be paved with cement actually had a thick layer of soil, and grass had even grown in many places on it.

At the beginning, Liang En also planned to use cards to detect the situation. But it turned out that the warehouse was built like a fortress. Even the wall closest to the warehouse was more than 5 meters away from the warehouse itself, which was far beyond the scope of card detection.

"This was most likely a warehouse belonging to the East German military." After discovering that the golden finger was temporarily useless, Liang En observed the surrounding environment honestly. Soon, his enhanced observation ability allowed him to discover the iron Some clues on the door.

Because after removing the plaster from the iron door, he found that there was a piece of black paint in the middle of each of the two iron doors that had been patched up later.

After wiping it with a rag dipped in a small bottle of gasoline that I carried with me, a section of wheat ears and a black, red, and yellow ribbon were exposed under the paint.

"Military warehouse, no wonder-" Pierce showed a clear expression.

During the investigation just now, he also discovered that the outer wall of this warehouse was much larger in height and thickness than a normal railway warehouse, and it could be seen from the damaged areas of the wall that steel bars were even added inside.

"It seems like this is good news." Liang En said as the two of them returned to the parking lot. "At least we can confirm that this warehouse is strong enough and was of a relatively high grade back then. There are likely to be many valuable items preserved in it."

"That's right." Pierce nodded in agreement. "The most important thing is that no one has been in here for a long time, and those good things have not been moved."
