Chapter 155: Rich is Good
William continued, "It's not for nothing that your Gates family has gained notoriety over the centuries, Mr. Gates."
William's words left Ben Gates a little speechless, everyone looked at Ben Gates, hoping that he would refute it, but Ben Gates just bowed his head and said nothing, and Ian, the leader, had to ask William: "Mr. Devon Hill, can you tell us what the reason is? Maybe that will be useful in finding treasure."
William shook his head with a depressed face and said: "Hey, because of Thomas Gates's selfishness, in the twenty years that he quietly searched, some participants who knew the secret at the beginning died one after another in those twenty years.
After Thomas Gates figured out that the clues he knew were incomplete, after going to those secret keepers, Sherlock's clues were useless, and the treasure disappeared for hundreds of years.
Ben Gates, you really deserve to be from the Gates family, you have found it, but I wonder how you know that Sherlock is a ship."
Ben Gates looked at everyone looking at him, and he was also very helpless about his ancestors, and said depressedly: "I found a clue in the letters of Franklin, Benjamin and some people, a ship called Sherlock was under the orders of Franklin during the Revolutionary War.
They broke away from the fleet and sailed north for no apparent reason, and the last time they were reported was that they had been resupplied in the northern part of the Americas, and then disappeared shortly after they had been restocked.
My guess is that they must have had an accident while carrying out some secret order, and if you are familiar with the flow of ocean currents, you will understand that the ship will drift in this direction on its own.
I have been flying back and forth between Point Barrow and the National Archives and Libraries of the Americas for the past two years, and finally I found a diary in a library in Point Barrow, 40 years ago, there was an abnormal weather, the snow on this island was melting, and someone saw a ship.
However, the diary man said that he did not board the ship because their traditions did not allow them to disturb the souls of the dead, so he just left the coordinates and never took care of the ship again."
Ben Gates sniffed at William after speaking: "So, Devon Hill, how did you find this?"
'yes, how did William find this, it can't be that this guy has been following them!' everyone guessed.
William, of course, won't tell them that his grandfather found the clues, he can only make it up, "In fact, not all the people on this ship died, after the death of the captain, several crew members who did not know the specific task rowed back to Point Barrow, and they left some information that I found." ”
When Ian heard this, he immediately asked, "What is written on the information? Treasure? Mr. Devon Hill?"
"Hell treasure, I'm here for nothing," William cursed in his heart.
William could only shake his head and said: "I don't know, if I knew, I would have come here a long time ago, you should know what I have done in the past six months, I might as well enter the stock market at that time, and I will definitely earn more than the treasures on this ship,
And you don't want to think about it, this ship is clearly recorded, Sherlock's load is only 3 tons, and how much treasure such a small ship can carry in addition to the crew and food and water, it must not even be 1 ton"
When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves, "Yes, this ship is definitely not used to transport treasures."
Thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but be disappointed, even if they could find some antiques, they would definitely not be worth much, Ian scolded a little dejected after thinking about it: "Damn, it took two years, millions of pounds, to find such a useless ship, if there is no treasure or clues on the ship, then our efforts are not in vain?"
Ben Gates also understood at this time, if it was really the same as what Ian said, wouldn't his family still have to spend the rest of his life in criticism?
Shaking his head, he put down the worries in his head first, and said: "It's useless to think so much now, let's dig out the boat first, maybe there are some treasures on the ship."
It's all come to this point, Ian can only nod and say to his subordinates: "Dig it, I can only hope that I can find some antiques on the ship, otherwise I will lose a lot,"
After saying that, Ian looked at William, and then looked at the shovel in his hand, William immediately understood that this guy wanted William to dig everything, "Don't even think about it, Ian, you know it's English by listening to your accent, do you think I'll dig with you?"
"Do any of you want to make extra money, dig me up and I'll give you £2,000 an hour, or I'll give you £10,000 for the four of you, and you can help me with my task," he said, reaching into his pocket and taking out £10,000 in cash from the storage space.
When Ian saw his men with an expectant face, he scolded in his heart, 'I hate rich guys,' he can't stop his men from making some extra money that doesn't affect the overall situation, 10,000 pounds is not much for him, but it is not a lot for his men.
Ian nodded helplessly, and William happily threw £10,000 to the four people.
Originally, William wanted to go directly, because he already knew what the clue in the ship was, an aquamarine chimney, which was both a clue and a key, but it was completely useless to him.
But since he came, he took a look first, and he didn't know if the real world was the same as the vague memories in his memory, in order to confirm that there was no accident, William could only get off the boat first to see if there was anything different, and he also wondered if he could let these people go to the black pot for him.
The value of this treasure is too great, and if he wants to take the treasure without any trouble, William has to think about it.
William grinned and took the 10,000 pound bald head and said, "I'll go to sleep, and call me when I'm done on the snowmobile, and what do you want to call me."
The bald man touched his bald head and smiled, "Mr. Devon Hill, my name is Shaw Fisher, and I am from Devonshire, England."
"This is really unexpected" William looked at Xiao's big bald head with some inexplicable expression, what is this guy doing with him at this time that he is from Devonshire?
"Well, got it, call me when you're done" William knew that now was not the time to speak, nodded at Shaw, made a hidden look and turned to his snowmobile.
And Xiao, the big bald head, didn't say much, just turned around and picked up the 10,000 pounds in his hand and shook it at the other three companions, "Guys, let's divide the money"
The other three walked towards Shaw with a smile, and everyone was still happy to get the 2,500 pound windfall.
After laughing and haha, two of the four drove the snowmobile, pushing the snow around the Sherlock with the bucket in front of the car, and the other two and Ian, Ben, and Riley used shovels to dig up the snow on the ship.
After digging for more than 2 hours, the Sherlock was finally revealed.
