Chapter 885: The Graveyard

The layout of the small town of Ita is similar to that of Chascomus, with narrow streets divided into pieces of "tofu blocks", and the whole city looks like a Go board when viewed from the air.

The town is predominantly Hispanic and Italian, with a mix of Germans and Indians, but in general, the majority is white.

In a neighborhood near a cemetery in the northwest of the city, Yang Jing and his team found the house where Martin Bowman lived at the time.

According to these materials obtained by Yang Jing, after Martin Bauman fled to Paraguay again from his Argentine hermitage of Chascomus, he came to Ita under the alias of Hermann Schroeder, bought a house here, and then continued to live in seclusion.

Unfortunately, not long after arriving in Ita, Martin Bowman was replaced with stomach cancer, and he persevered for four years, and finally the executioner did not die on the Allied gallows, but in a local hospital. His body was buried in a cemetery not far from the house where he lived.

As for the skeleton exhumed at the Reilt station in West Berlin, although there is no doubt that it was Martin Baumann after DNA testing, Yang Jing believes that Martin Baumann did die in Ita at that time, but later some intelligence officers bribed the local officials to secretly dig up Martin Baumann's remains and transport them back to Germany, and buried them near Reilte Station.

As for why those intelligence officers did this, it's actually quite simple.

Martin Bowman was, after all, a highly-ranked war criminal, and as Sitler's secretary general, he knew a lot of secrets, and he committed enough crimes to be hanged dozens of times. But such a war criminal who should have appeared on the gallows the most, but finally escaped from Berlin, which was tightly blockaded by the army, and it would be strange if there was no cat.

The reason why this kind of thing happens, you can figure out why with your ass.

Very simply, Martin Baumann has a large number of German secrets, many of which have clues to those **treasures, and he was able to escape from Berlin, obviously in exchange for clues to some **treasures.

Don't think that the Soviet Red Army controlled by Stalin was a good person, in the face of huge interests, it is estimated that few people can hold the bottom line.

So it's no surprise that Martin Bowman was let off by the Soviets.

Later, since Martin Bowman died of stomach cancer, his body is still useful. For example, by smuggling his remains back to Germany and exhuming them at the "right" time, they were taken as described above.

Well, Martin Bowman didn't let us go, did he? He committed suicide here!

So, if there's nothing to do, accuse us of letting Martin Bowman go!

Perhaps someone was greedy for wealth and let Martin Bowman go, but this was a very serious mistake. But since the mistake has been made, find a way to make up for it. Obviously, it's a good idea to make up for it in this way.

Such a simple thing, Yang Jing asked himself, if he was the high-level of those countries, then he would also use this means to calm the condemnation of the domestic people.

And according to the information in his possession, it is enough to prove that although Martin Baumann fled Germany and had a subsequent trial, the executioner was always in a state of surveillance. But why didn't the intelligence agents in these countries take Martin Bowman back for trial? It's very simple.

The reason why Martin Bowman was able to escape all the way to Argentina must have been an unsavory exchange insider, and once a person like Martin Bowman was re-arrested, he would inevitably have to be tried in public, and no one would dare to execute this guy in secret.

Then the problem arises, once Martin Bowman is put on public trial, then the shady scenes of his flight to South America will inevitably be exposed, which will undoubtedly be a great humiliation for the Allied government, and may even lead to the downfall of a certain government.

In such a situation, it is better to leave this guy to fend for himself than to get this guy back.

Britain, France, the United States, or the Soviet Union were not as radical as the Israeli agents to arrest Adolf Hillman, and the governments of these countries had so much to think about because their own butts were not clean, would they dare to open such a thing?

"Chief, it's been determined that the house is the house where Martin Bowman lived when he died. On the third day after coming to Ita, Chris gave Yang Jing an answer with certainty.

With Chascomus's experience, Chris is becoming more and more familiar with this kind of thing, especially in a poor country like Paraguay, where money can settle almost everything.

They want to inquire about some information that has been around for more than 60 years, and they can do it more directly than by any means. So they easily found the relevant materials from the dusty archives of the Ita city government that had been sealed for more than half a century.

"Hermann Schröder, of German origin, entered Argentina by boat along the Paraná River on 23 October 1954 and bought a house in Ita on 2 November 22...... Hermann Schroeder died of stomach cancer on February 9, 1959 at the age of 60 at the San Lorenzo Municipal Hospital in Ita and buried in the cemetery of Santa Roora Catholic Church in Ita......"

Looking at the yellowed information in his hand, Yang Jing also sighed that the charm of money was really full, and Chris and the gang actually took out all the original files in the municipal government archives.

These records give a very clear picture of how Martin Baumann, who goes by the pseudonym Hermann Schröder, came to Paraguay and how he bought a house in Ita, how he died, where he died, and where he was buried.

"Boss, this house is now owned by a Hispanic family, we took a closer look, the family now has an old lady in her seventies, suspected to be the mother of the owner, the owner and his wife, there are three children, two boys and a girl, the youngest girl is in elementary school, and both boys are already in middle school. The family is normal, and there is nothing suspicious. And this house was bought by the old lady's father in the early sixties of the last century, more than half a century ago. ”

Hearing Chris's words, Yang Jing nodded. Obviously, the house was returned to the public after Martin Bowman's death, and since Martin Bowman had no heirs, it was inevitable that the house would not have been inherited after his death. Then the city government repossessed the house, and after a while, it was sold to the grandfather of the current owner.

"Go, take me over to see the house, and has you found the cemetery where Martin Bowman was buried?"

Chris nodded and said, "Yes, Martin Bowman's cemetery under the alias Hermann Schroeder is still in that cemetery, and it is well preserved." However, it is estimated that the bottom is empty. Chris laughed wickedly.

Yang Jing didn't hide some of the things in these materials from Chris, so he also knew a lot.

"Okay, then let's go over and have a look now!"

The result of looking at the house is naturally not P, and like the house seen in Chascomus, this house has long changed owners, and the owner of this house does not know how many times he has repaired this house in more than half a century, even if there is something hidden in it, it is estimated that it has been discovered a long time ago.

Yang Jing used the Tianyan skill, but naturally he couldn't see any clues, so he could only retreat and take the group to the cemetery.

The cemetery is not far from the house where Martin Bowman lived, just two streets away. The cemetery is not large, and it is surrounded by lush trees, and judging by the trunks of these trees, they are at least a hundred years old.

A small Catholic church is located on one side of the cemetery, like this combination of church + cemetery, which is very common in Western countries.

Both the Philippines and Paraguay were formerly Spanish colonies, so most of the Catholic churches here have cemeteries.

Today's weather is a bit gloomy, and it's a little cooler, but it's quiet in the cemetery, and you can't see a single person.

Yang Jing told Chris to wait outside, and he and Gege took two bouquets of flowers they had bought from the flower shop outside and walked towards the church.

"Yang Jing, why are we giving flowers to that executioner?" Gege didn't understand Yang Jing's actions.

"Hehe, don't worry, I naturally do this for a reason. Because intelligence shows that Martin Bowman came to this church every week when he lived here, and he also donated a lot of things to this church. So, I'd like to talk to the priest in the church as a descendant of Hermann Schröder, and see if I can get any useful clues, and then you'll see the priest and say that......"

Gege was a little unhappy, she knew the identity of the guy who was going to be honored today, even if it was pretended, she had a little pimple in her heart.

As they spoke, the two entered the church, where a priest greeted them when he saw them.

The reason why Gege is pulled is because Yang Jing doesn't understand Spanish, while Gege understands and speaks quite slippery.

Sure enough, the priest whispered to the two of them, and it was in Spanish.

Yang Jing didn't understand, so Gege went up, according to Yang Jing's previous instructions, Gege said the intention, and then after the two exchanged some more, the priest said in a somewhat broken English: "This gentleman, the grave of Hermann Schroeder you want to find is in the southeast corner of the cemetery. It's been a long, long time since no one came to Mr. Schroeder's grave, so I'll take you there......"
