Chapter 1655 Left a hand
Haman didn't know how to answer, Lin Xiao said: "To be on the safe side, you can open it and take a look, maybe it's a mistake." Harman was very reluctant for this to happen, but he was also afraid that if it was true, he hesitated to put down the box, the code of the customs lock was three digits, and he set it "378".
Haman gently turned the lock, 3, 7, 8, and then slowly lifted the lid up, without lifting, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, Lin Xiao and Lima were also nervous, could it really be the wrong one? Is it that he was careless and took the wrong one, or was he transferred by others? These three people really have bad intentions?
Haman turned around again, but he still couldn't open it, his face was covered with sweat, he didn't dare to imagine that this priceless treasure would be lost like this, he knew that it would be like this, it was better to wear it around his neck as Lin Xiao said. He gave up trying and sat on the ground, while Lin Xiao and Lima also came over to try to pick the lock.
Lin Xiao tried "378" first, no, then tried "387", it didn't work, tried "837" again, it still didn't work, and then he was sure that this box was not Harman's. He continued to try, starting with "000", "snapped", the lock opened, he lifted the lid of the box, and Harman and Lima stuck their heads over. There was some change of clothes in it, but it was definitely not Harman's, and it seemed that he was also a traveler, did he also take the wrong one?
The three suspicious people got into the car, were they premeditated or were they a random coincidence? The three guessed that Harman was coming for the gem, and that they were premeditated and prepared. Lima felt that it might be a coincidence, and that the people who got the wrong boxes were also in a hurry, and they would come back and change the boxes back.
Lin Xiao proposed: "Let's go back to the airport to adjust the monitoring first, and see if we can find the person who took the wrong box." Seeing that the Mercedes-Benz was gone, the three had to go back to the airport, find the security guard, and explain the situation. The airport security guard cooperated very well and took them to the monitoring room, retrieved the video at the time, and let Lin Xiao and their unexpected things happen, the camera during that time turned out to be in another place, it turned out to be blank, from the time the three of Harman came to the security checkpoint, to the time they left the airport, there was no scene of Harman being taken into the office by the police in the middle.
The three of them were dumbfounded, and the security guard explained to them: "At that time, the machine happened to be broken, and they needed to cut off the power for repairs, but it was only a matter of a few minutes, how could they have thought that this happened by such a coincidence." But Lin Xiao felt that this was not a coincidence, it was obvious that this was a premeditated act, that is, the person had designed it to replace Haman's box, and he even suspected that the two policemen were also colluding, so that Haman had no time to notice the authenticity of the box.
Perhaps, they were already being targeted when they got on the plane, and few people knew about the gems they were carrying, where did these three get the news? The security guard in front of him looked innocent, Lin Xiao felt that he couldn't say anything to him, so he took Haman and walked out together. The three of them came to a secluded place, Lin Xiao said his speculation, and Haman said: "The only one who knows about this is Hashim, could it be that he did this?"
Lin Xiao looked around, hoping to see the two policemen who had just called Haman in, and he said to Haman: "It's hard to draw conclusions at the moment, the most important thing is to find those two policemen, they are the key to the matter." Lima disagreed with Lin Xiao, saying: "I don't think it's useful to find them, they can say that it has nothing to do with them." Lin Xiao sneered: "Then it's up to them." ”
The three of them understood, so they looked for it separately, the three of them went around, and they didn't find the two policemen, Lin Xiao had a bottom in his heart, it seemed that the person behind him still had a lot of energy, and he actually stretched out his hand to the airport in India. When the three of them got together, Haman said, "Looking at it this way, it is not by chance that we took the wrong box, and it seems that we were indeed careless." Fortunately, though, I still have a hand. ”
As he spoke, Haman patted his chest, it turned out that he didn't put the gem in the box, it was still in his pocket, and locking the box in his hand was just a disguise, Lin Xiao and Lima admired him for his far-reaching plan, but fortunately he kept a hand, otherwise it would be troublesome now. The three of them walked out unhurriedly.
Lima felt that he had been busy for a long time, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said, "If we had known that you had left the gem, we would not have made so much effort to find it." Harman patiently explained: "I mainly want to know whether the person who changed the box was unintentional or intentional, and now that I know that someone has already targeted us, let's be more careful." ”
Lin Xiao also felt that Haman's caution was necessary, and he persuaded Lima: "It's not in vain, now I know that the current situation is very dangerous, and there will be accidents at any time, so everyone must strengthen their precautions." ”
The three of them walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and told him to go to the Padmanaba Swami Temple. The driver enthusiastically told them that the temple is now the most eye-catching temple in the world, and recently the Supreme Court of India ordered an inventory of the temple's assets. As a result, archaeologists found 6 underground chambers in the ancient temple, two of which had not been opened for 139 years. In the first chamber, archaeologists made a major discovery--- and almost the entire chamber was filled with unimaginable gold and jewelry.
Lima's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Can this seemingly inconspicuous temple be so rich?" The driver saw that he didn't believe his words, and said: "According to media reports, a gold ornament weighing more than 1 ton, a 1.2-meter-tall elephant statue minted in gold, 17 kilograms of gold coins belonging to the East India Company, 18 coins from the Napoleonic period in the early 19th century, several diamond-encrusted crowns and countless jewelry items were unearthed in the secret room. Archaeologists estimate the treasure of this chamber at 500 billion rupees ($11.2 billion). At present, there is no official valuation of these treasures by Indian officials. The treasures that have been unearthed so far are worth more than the Indian government's annual investment in education. ”
The driver was full of pride in his words, and Haman asked him, "Where does the treasure in the temple come from?" ”
