Looking at Yang Haicheng, who was so uncomfortable that his face was wrinkled into papaya while swallowing, the few of them were speechless.
When Yang Haicheng recovered, Lin Mo asked with a smile: "How is it? How does it feel?"
"Uh..." Yang Haicheng heard this and suddenly felt dry again, then he recovered and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what the smell is, I just feel that my body can't adapt to this smell... Uh..."
After a while of dryness, Yang Haicheng put the dry bones in his hand back into the wooden box and asked, "Brother Lin, how to deal with this thing? Why don't you just throw it away!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo said, "Don't you throw it away? Why did you throw it away? This thing can be considered a high-end ingredient in Japan. It's not easy for us to get it. Maybe it will be useful in the future, but it won't break easily anyway."
After saying that, Lin Mo took the small drawer and asked everyone present to taste it. After eating the rest, he put the drawer back, and then locked the box and let someone move it out.
Seeing this situation, everyone began to deal with the remaining boxes. Most of these boxes were antiques and silver dollars. Antiques include ancient calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and bronze ware. Every time they found antiques, Lin Mo would go over and take a look.
But I don’t know what’s going on, is it because Chen Maofeng and the others are not able to buy antiques or what’s wrong? These antiques can be said to be precious in later generations, but in this era, these antiques are all very ordinary things.
In addition to antiques and silver dollars, Xu Guyu also found two boxes of gold and silver hand jewelry and various jade artifacts. However, Lin Mo went over and took a look and found that they were all ordinary goods.
A strange and puzzled feeling always surrounds Lin Mo's heart. Since Chen Maofeng and others have brought so many antiques and treasures, they shouldn't be able to get even the same precious thing, right? This is not in line with common sense!
At this time, Lin Mo was already very suspicious that Chen Maofeng should have another place to hide things, but according to the current situation, Lin Mo couldn't think of where this place would be.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo decided not to think about it for the time being, and to continue to clean up the things in front of him is the main thing.
Lin Mo began to follow everyone and continued to clean up the remaining boxes. In the end, only two large boxes lying in the corner were left.
These two large boxes are about one meter long, one meter wide and one meter high. Everyone opened the two boxes and were stunned again.
The two large boxes in front of me were filled with silver dollars, one was bulk silver dollars, and the other was filled with silver dollars wrapped in red paper. However, the red paper was old and the color had faded a little, so it was obviously already been in a long time.
Everyone looked at the silver dollars of these two boxes, and the smile on their faces became stronger. Under the command of Xu Guyu, several people were used to move the boxes up.
However, Lin Mo, who was standing aside, looked at the two boxes and his brows frowned slightly.
Seeing that Lin Mo was not as happy as others, Xu Guyu, who was standing aside, asked, "Lin Mo, is there any problem?"
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I just don't know what's going on. After coming here to explore, I always feel a strange feeling here."
Hearing this, Xu Guyu nodded and said, "I also feel this way, especially the more searches, the stronger this feeling will become."
Speaking of this, Xu Guyu patted Lin Mo's shoulder with a wry smile and continued, "Don't think too much. After we process these things, we will check this place carefully to see if we can find anything!"
After hearing this, Lin Mo nodded, and with the others, he checked the empty basement with the metal detector and then walked out.
During the inspection, Lin Mo tried the cement column in the basement, but the metal detector did not make any sound, which made Lin Mo very curious. Why was there no sound in this column?
After careful inspection, Lin Mo found a piece of bamboo strip that stretched out from a wall, and finally figured out what was going on. This basement should have used bamboo tendons, which made Lin Hei and the others not make any sound in the house or in the basement.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo suddenly felt like he was in a dangerous house. However, after asking Xu Gu Yu, Lin Mo suddenly felt a little ignorant. It turned out that in China of this era, it was very common to use bamboo instead of steel bars.
Xu Guyu also gave Lin Mo an example. In many large commercial banks near the Yangtze River in Nanjing, bamboo is used to make steel bars.
Hearing this situation, Lin Mo thought that this small courtyard was lived in when Chen Maofeng just lurked into Nanjing five years ago. The Qingmao Trading Company had not been established at that time, so he probably didn't have much money.
Moreover, the walls of this basement are uneven. They should have been built by Chen Maofeng and others. The bamboo is softer and easier to shape, more suitable for ordinary people than steel bars, and easier to obtain, and will not attract much attention.
In this way, from the perspective of financial resources, concealment and operability, it is indeed appropriate to choose bamboo instead of steel bars.
When they got outside, others had already put the things in different categories. Lin Mo looked at it and found that most of the things in the basement were ordinary antiques and property, and the rest were messy things, including gold, silver jewelry, jade jewelry, and some other things.
As for the property, there are a box of big yellow croaker and silver dollars. In addition to the two boxes found at the beginning and the two boxes at the end, there are six boxes of large and small.
After reading what he found in the basement, Lin Mo looked at what others found elsewhere, including three M1910 Browning pistols and corresponding bullet clips, and the others were some scattered belongings and other things.
After Lin Mo checked the things he found, he and Xu Guyu and Zhang Hongxin began to investigate carefully in the courtyard.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the three of them searched the first floor, but found nothing, so the three of them decided to go up the second floor to investigate. The three of them first started to investigate from the wing room at the end.
However, I still didn't find anything, so the three of them came to the main house in the middle again and planned to go to the second floor to take a look. However, at the entrance of the stairs, they met Yang Haicheng and his people in the space on the stairs, and they didn't know what they were digging.
Seeing this, the three of them stopped and wanted to see if Yang Haicheng and the others could make any new discoveries.
"Xuefeng, move this ladder out. It stops me and I'm not easy to dig." Lin Mo and the other two stopped and heard Yang Haicheng's voice coming from under the stairs. However, because there is a stair blocking, the three of them did not see the situation inside.
"Okay... I'll move right away." Du Xuefeng's voice came, and Lin Mo and the other two saw a man coming out from under the stairs.
Seeing Du Xuefeng, the three of them almost laughed, because Du Xuefeng's black clothes were already made of gray, and his hair was covered with spider webs. The sweat and dust on his face were mixed together, dyeing Du Xuefeng a big face.
Du Xuefeng, who had crawled out halfway, saw the three people standing outside the stairs, and quickly smiled and greeted him.
"Haha..." Du Xuefeng smiled, and the three of them immediately smiled unkindly, making Du Xuefeng a little confused.
Du Xuefeng was about to wipe his face with his hand, but he immediately saw that his hands were covered with dust. He immediately knew what was going on. His face turned red with shame and lowered his head awkwardly.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Xuefeng, hurry up and wash, I'll help you with the ladder."
After saying that, Lin Mo bent down and pulled out the bamboo ladder that reached into the stairs. The bamboo ladder was about four meters long and could not be placed vertically on the first floor, so Lin Mo placed it flat against the wall.
Lin Mo looked at the ladder a few times and found that it was quite clean and there were traces left when using it at one end, so it should be used normally.
After looking at the ladder, Lin Mo looked down at the stairs and saw Yang Haicheng bent over and pulling something back, and his butt had stretched out.
After a while, Lin Mo saw what Yang Haicheng was dragging, and it was probably a pottery pot covered with earth.
When Yang Haicheng came out, Yang Haicheng was even dirtyer than Du Xuefeng, but the three of them had already focused on the earthen pot.
Xu Guyu, who was on the other hand, saw Yang Haicheng pulling it out, asked, "Haicheng, what did you dig?"
Hearing someone's question, Yang Haicheng noticed the three of them, quickly greeted him, and then said, "It's a jar of silver ingots."
Hearing this, Lin Mo stepped forward and saw most of the black ingots in the pottery jar. He took it out, glanced at it and said, "It was from the Qing Dynasty."
Hearing this, the three of them were a little disappointed, because it was obviously impossible for this thing to be buried by Chen Maofeng and the others, so these things were just some property.
After looking at Yang Haicheng, Lin Mo said, "Haicheng, see how dirty you are? Go and wash it quickly."
Hearing this, Yang Haicheng glanced at the clothes on his body, and it was indeed stained with a lot of dust.
Yang Haicheng took off the metal detector battery and headphones on his back, gave the metal detector to Lin Mo, and hurriedly ran to clean it up.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo put the battery on his back and carried the metal detector and went to the second floor with Xu Guyu and others.
