"Hello?"

"Hey, I've sorted out the business relationships of Allen Company. Where are you now?"

"I'm standing outside the vault at Allen Artworks."

Lin Wan, "..."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Have you found any problems?"

Lin Wan said, "On the surface, no problems have been found, but they have a close relationship with several collectors suspected of purchasing illegal cultural relics, and there are several foreign trade orders that are suspicious. The Lighthouse Police are preparing to start from these aspects. "

After a pause, Lin Wan continued, "In addition, they are planning to pretend to be a businessman smuggling cultural relics and come to test it out, but I think it will have no effect."

Lu Zheng nodded, "The work is too rough, of course it won't be effective."

"How are you doing there? Can you find any evidence of hidden accounts? But these accounts should all be in the computer now. Can you find them?" Lin Wan asked worriedly.

"Haha! Have you forgotten what major I studied in college?"

"Computers, I know." Lin Wan snickered, "But there is still a gap between computer graduates and professional hackers, right?"

"You still want to play aggressive with me?"

"No, no, no, I just want to ask, is hacking technology also related to martial arts artistic conception and subtle muscle control?" Lin Wan said with a smile.

With Lu Zheng following, the case was basically invincible, so Lin Wan felt very relaxed and was in the mood to joke.

"Yes!" Lu Zheng nodded seriously, "You are right. Looking for flaws in the opponent's thoughts and tapping the keyboard quickly are of course related to martial arts conception and muscle control."

Lin Wan: ←_←

Lu Zheng said, "I'll wait here until they all leave at night, and then search their computers for hidden accounts and possible follow-up plans.

If there have been any offline transactions recently, you can ask the Los Angeles Police Department to come to the scene. In addition, I can hand over the USB flash drive with the hidden accounts to you during the chaos. "



After everyone from Allen Art Company had left, Lu Zheng showed up in the president's office.

Turning on the computer, typing on the keyboard, he even rewrote a search plug-in on the spot.

Then decisively found a hidden account, as well as a database of artwork picture information for smuggling transactions, as well as information about customers who bought cultural relics at illegal cultural relics auctions.

However, there is no follow-up plan or information about other illegal groups.

However, this information is enough for Lin Wan to recover relevant cultural relics leaked from China.

The problem now is how to hand this thing over to the Los Angeles Police Department smoothly.

Eh? correct! Aren't they planning to pretend to be smugglers and come here to test it?

When they leave, take their things with them.

In this way, the evidence was what they had collected. Lu Zheng did not believe that these people would not claim the credit if they had merit. When no undercover agent or informant came forward to claim the credit, of course the credit would be theirs.

With evidence, you can apply for a search warrant to search the company. In this way, the illegal cultural relics in the vault at the end will no longer be hidden.

As for the follow-up, the transfer of cultural relics has nothing to do with Lin Wan. Naturally, the Chinese Embassy and the Cultural Relics Bureau will be in contact with this.

You can start your travel vacation in Lighthouse Country with Lin Wan.

Perfect!

Lu Zheng clicked on the keyboard and imported all the criminal information into a USB flash drive that he picked up from an electronic supplies store during the day.

"Huh?"

Just as he was about to pull out the USB flash drive, Lu Zheng suddenly found another encrypted document.

"what?"

Lu Zheng decisively decrypted it and opened it, and found that the first thing inside was a photo of a parchment scroll.

"Treasure from the San Miguel Shipwreck?"

"What the hell?"

Lu Zheng pulled down, and then he learned the ins and outs of this treasure.

After Spain took possession of the entire American continent, it plundered more than 50% of the world's gold and silver in hundreds of years, making it arguably the richest country in the world.

In 1712, the afterglow of Spain was gone, and the sun was setting in the west. In order to avoid the influence of the New World being taken over by the British, the country was also short of money due to the war.

Therefore, Spain formed the largest treasure transport fleet in history, preparing to transport all the gold and silver treasures it had left in the New World back to the country.

This is a fleet of twenty large ships with a displacement of more than 500 tons. Each ship is filled with gold, silver, jewelry and other precious items.

To protect themselves from pirates, they prepared to sail back to Spain in the short window of time before hurricane season approached.

But the result was cruel. Seven days after their trip, they encountered a hurricane, causing the entire fleet to be wiped out, and all the treasures on board were naturally buried at the bottom of the sea.

For hundreds of years, on the east coast of Cuba or the lighthouse country, scattered gold and silverware occasionally washed ashore with the waves, allowing many lucky people to make a small fortune.

For hundreds of years, many treasure hunters, including the Spanish royal family, have salvaged treasures in the waters involved. Seven of the treasure ships have been salvaged, and about one-third of the treasures that were lost that year have been salvaged.

But there are still a lot of treasures still sleeping on the seabed, including the San Miguel.

The San Miguel, one of the largest treasure-hunting ships in the transport fleet at that time, became separated from the fleet when the hurricane approached. It did not sink in the waters involved, and the surviving crew could not tell where they sank.

And judging from the treasures salvaged and collected over hundreds of years, there is nothing on the San Miguel.

Therefore, the San Miguel should have sunk as a whole, and all the treasures on board are still together.

The parchment map in front of me was drawn by the first mate of the San Miguel.

The captain of the San Miguel was dead, and the most cultured and knowledgeable person who was rescued was the first mate. When all the crew members did not know the location of the shipwreck, the first mate also acted selfishly and did not inform Instead, he secretly drew a map and hid the sailing records written in his recollections afterwards, preparing to set up a company and salvage it himself.

It's just that things are unpredictable. Before he could resign from the army and start a company, he died in the Spanish Succession War, and this treasure map and sailing records were passed down from generation to generation in the hands of his descendants.

Until today, three hundred years later, it flowed into the hands of Allen Carter, the owner of Allen Art Company.

Based on the map and sailing records, Alan Carter has locked in a general range. All that remains is to prepare to contact the salvage ship, form a new treasure hunting company, and then carry out the treasure salvage work.

"Treasure worth more than three hundred million dollars? Indian-style and Spanish-style gold and silverware and treasures made of gold?"

"This treasure is destined for me!"
