Chapter 176: An Unexpected Surprise
The next day, early in the morning.
Hilton Hotel Restaurant.
Lin Chuan took a big bite of the sandwich and said vaguely, "Patriarch, how is it?"
"No!" Ye Xuan shook his head, and then asked, "Have you ever come to the Northern Territory to investigate?"
Trying to swallow the food in his mouth, he nodded and said, "I've been here, but it's useless, I even paid a hacker to hack into the local government's website to check the population information of the entire Northern Territory, but I can't find the surname Hall at all." ”
"Don't have the last name Hall?"
"Yes. When the British colonized Australia, it was originally used as a penal colony, and the vast majority of the people were convicts and slaves. It wasn't until the 19th century, after the discovery of large gold mines in Australia, that free immigration began to increase. However, these immigrants are also poor people who can't get along in the UK. The clue mentions that Baron Hall is a down-and-out aristocrat, but you know, the British care a lot about blood and status, a real nobleman, no matter how declining and destitute he is, he will not surrender himself to come here. ”
"So I think Baron Hall must have offended some big man at that time, and in order to escape, he had to come to Australia, and finally went incognito. ”
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Isn't that even the last clue broken?"
"Uh... That's what I thought at the time, so I gave up. ”
While eating the sandwich, Ye Xuan pondered. After a while, he suddenly spoke: "The clue is not broken for the time being, you are right, the British aristocracy cares a lot about their bloodline and identity. Even if Baron Hall was forced to remain incognito, the family crest would have been passed down to remind future generations. And this family crest, I'd like to see it somewhere. ”
Lin Chuan looked overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, ", patriarch, have you seen this badge?"
"I should have seen it, when I first saw it at your house, I thought it was familiar, but I couldn't remember it. ”
From the perspective of human memory, when the average person can't remember something, it means that the thing does not impress you, and it is often just a glimpse. However, this has also narrowed the scope of their search many times. Because Ye Xuan came to the Northern Territory last time, he didn't stay in many places, only the two cities of Darwin and Alice Springs, if you have to count, the nearly 200 kilometers of primeval wilderness can also be added.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I already have a clue, let's act for breakfast!"
After a quick breakfast, the two walked out of the hotel. Opening the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan smiled at the live broadcast camera: "Hello everyone, audience. ”
Originally, Ye Xuan said on Weibo that the visa had not passed, and the audience had already postponed the next live broadcast, but he didn't expect it to start so soon.
In just a few minutes, the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 50,000.
"Damn, the dog than the patriarch found out in conscience that the next issue will be broadcast so soon. ”
"Didn't you say that the visa was not granted?"
"Hey, isn't this a women's clothing boss, a banana tyrant!"
"Is the big guy doing it?"
"Patriarch, where is the goddess Gao Yuanyuan? I want the goddess's signature. ”
"Hey, why isn't the iron head gong. ”
"Anyway, where is the patriarch now, at home or abroad?"
Looking at the barrage on the mobile phone, the corners of Ye Xuan and Lin Chuan's mouths couldn't help twitching, it seems that this black history will be ridiculed by this group of viewers for a long time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry that my visa to the United States was denied, and I was blacklisted and permanently denied. So the next issue of the Wilderness Survival Live may have to be postponed for a while. Then, Ye Xuan's voice changed and continued: "But you don't have to worry, during this vacuum period before the visa issue is resolved, there will be new live content, exploration and treasure hunting." ”
"At present, Lin Chuan and I are located in the port city of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia. Looking for the treasure left behind by a down-and-out British aristocrat who fled to Australia. ”
Treasure hunting, down-and-out British aristocrats, treasures. These keywords immediately made the audience's eyes shine, and they were full of expectations for this live broadcast.
At this time, Lin Chuan asked on the side, "Where are we going now?"
Generally speaking, family crests are not placed in public places such as streets, and they are more likely to appear indoors. I didn't have a lot of places in Darwin, one was a challenger training institute and one was Chinatown. Compared to Chinatown, the training institutions are more likely, so let's go there first. ”
After stopping a taxi, the two went straight to the Challenger Training Institute.
After paying the car money and tips, Ye Xuan took Lin Chuan and walked into the hall with a familiar car.
"Wow, that's not our genius!"
Entering the hall, the blonde receptionist recognized him at a glance. Since the last time he got the AFF certificate in just three days, he has become a small name in the training institution.
Ye Xuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hi, Jennifer, long time no see." ”
"Do you want to take the B certificate this time?"
"No, my friend also wants to take the AFF certificate. However, he is more cautious and wants to come to see it on the spot. Can I take him around?" Ye Xuan casually made up a reason.
"Absolutely. ”
"Thank you. By the way, is Winnie there?"
The receptionist shook her head and said, "Winnie has gone to Melbourne, and it is estimated that she will not be back until next week." ”
All the way to the theoretical training classroom, Lin Chuan, who had been silent just now, suddenly said, "Who is Winnie?"
Glancing at him, Ye Xuan said casually: "The instructor when I took the parachute certificate." ”
Lin Chuan smiled, "It's funny! This name is a woman when you hear it." It's okay, patriarch, no wonder the last live broadcast ended, and I didn't go back immediately, it turned out that I was here for a few days!"
Ye Xuan said angrily: "Don't be poor, hurry up and find out if there is a badge." ”
Hearing this conversation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became energetic and launched a barrage of ridicule.
The training classroom, the wind tunnel trainer, the parachute stacking area, and even the skydiving area did not let go, and it took a whole hour, and the two of them searched everywhere they could, but they didn't see the family badge on the clue at all.
However, Ye Xuan was not disappointed, because there were still many places to visit next.
After leaving the training facility, the two got into a taxi again and headed to Chinatown in the city center.
"Hey, dude, is that you?"
As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Xuan heard a familiar voice behind him.
When I turned my head to look, I saw a Ford pickup truck parked across the street, and there was a big white man in the driver's seat, greeting him with a smile on his face, it was Dave.
Seeing Dave again, Ye Xuan was a little embarrassed. Because last time, I was going to buy his farm, but in the end, I didn't buy it because I didn't think it was cost-effective.
Ye Xuan was about to speak, when suddenly Lin Chuan on the side seemed to have a convulsion, grabbed his arm and shook it continuously, and said at the same time: "Badge! Baron Hall's family crest!"
Badge!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan was agitated and looked in the direction of Lin Chuan's finger.
I saw a necklace hanging on the rearview mirror in front of Dave, the pendant of the necklace was hollowed, and the carved cross sword and rose were Baron Hall's family crest!
No wonder he had always felt that this badge was familiar, and it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, it turned out to be in Dave's car!
