Under the stunned gaze of the princess, Yang Jing used a steel spike he took out of his pocket and quickly pried off a small square stone from the middle of the cross on top of the tombstone.
Judging from Yang Jing's relaxed expression and the neat shape of the small square stone, the stone had obviously been "embedded" in the cross a long time ago. But how did Yang Jing know that the middle of the cross was hollow?
This square stone was pried off from the back of the cross. It seemed that he didn't look at the back of the cross when he presented flowers just now!
Gege was very puzzled. She couldn't figure out how Yang Jing could figure out the trick of the cross.
After Yang Jing took out a small rectangular box that was smaller than a cigarette box from the cross and put the stone back in its place, Gege asked this question excitedly and puzzledly.
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said proudly: "Wife, treasure hunting is all about finding. So, it is not easy to become an excellent treasure hunter. He must have a pair of eyes that can see through all illusions, a strong enough heart and the courage to remain calm even when facing a disaster. These are the most basic conditions that an excellent treasure hunter should have. For example, your husband... As for you, my dear wife, you still need to practice..."
These words, which were suspected of being pretentious, were immediately ruthlessly suppressed by the princess. Yang Jing, who was beaten by her fists, held his head and begged for mercy.
There's no one here anyway, so they can just mess around here without worrying about being seen.
After a while of commotion, Gege finally dispelled the discomfort she had felt since arriving here. Gege panted slightly and asked, "Yang Jing, how did you find out that there was something wrong with the cross?"
"In fact, I didn't find anything wrong, but I felt that there was something fishy about this cross. Wife, as a treasure hunter, you have to make bold guesses and carefully verify. Intuition is sometimes very important in this line of work. Just like just now, I felt something was wrong when I saw this cross, and then the priest said that this tombstone was made by Martin Baumann himself before he died of illness, so this cross was even more suspicious, so I waited until the priest left before checking it out, and I really found something unusual."
Gege smiled and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up, then urged, "Hurry up and check what's hidden in this box."
This box is a stainless steel metal box, a bit like the metal cigarette box during World War II, but smaller and thicker. However, this box has been stored in the hollow stone cave, and the square stone used to block the stone cave is embedded very tightly with the stone cave, and the gap is filled with a substance similar to glue. Therefore, even if this metal box has been in the stone cave for more than 60 years, and it is made of stainless steel, there is no rust on the surface of the box, just like new.
There was a lock on the lid of the box, but it was not locked. Yang Jing opened it with a light pull.
After opening the box, the two saw a ball of paper similar to straw paper inside the box, which filled the box completely. When Yang Jing carefully took out the ball of paper and unfolded it carefully, the two of them laughed at the same time for being so careful.
Both of them thought that there was something written on the paper, but after opening it, they found that it was just a piece of paper used to fill the box. However, Yang Jing did not throw the paper away, but folded it carefully, pretended to put it in his pocket, and then threw it directly into the storage space.
Sure enough, when the paper was taken out, the contents of the box were revealed.
It is a key, a stainless steel key. And judging from the key teeth, the lock that this key corresponds to should be a more complicated lock.
"What kind of key is this?" Gege asked curiously.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But if Martin Baumann could hide it in the cross, it must not be an ordinary key."
"Is there anything else in the box? Or are there any clues on the inner wall of the box?"
Yang Jing picked up the box and looked at it carefully, then shook his head again. "There is only this key and that piece of paper. But it is obvious that the piece of paper was stuffed into the box to prevent the key from colliding with it."
"Then what use is this key to us? God knows where this key is used."
Yang Jing patted Gege's hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. If we can find such a key, it means that the route we are exploring is correct. As for where this key is used, we still need to slowly look for clues. Wife, this is the key left by Martin Baumann. If my estimation is correct, if we can find a place that can be opened by this key, the things inside will definitely bring us a great harvest."
"Could it be **treasure?" Gege became excited.
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? Maybe it's a ** treasure, or maybe it's some other unknown secret. Anyway, this key is very important and is also a key. So, the clues we need to find next should revolve around this key."
As he spoke, Yang Jing took out a strong string from his pocket, passed the key through it, fastened the buckle, and hung the key directly around his neck, "Hehe, this is the safest way."
Putting the key inside his T-shirt, Yang Jing said, "Let's go find that priest and take a look at the things Martin Baumann donated to the church before he died, as well as some of the things he left behind after his death. Maybe we can find new clues among those things."
Gege nodded excitedly, "Yes, Martin Bowman donated something to the church and buried it here. There is also a key in the cross. My intuition tells me that Martin Bowman probably had other intentions when he donated something to the church."
This made Yang Jing laugh. He gave Gege a thumbs up and said, "Wife, you are good at applying what you have learned. You are right to make bold guesses and verify them carefully. Let's go and see if there are any relevant clues in those things."
PS: I would like to thank "很懒的鱼" for the reward of 100.
