Chapter 193: A Murder Case A Hundred Years Ago!(1/2)

Looking at the smelly corpses in front of him, Zhu Yu quickly took two steps back, with just the right amount of panic on his face.

Ran Jie quickly stepped forward and helped Zhu Yu to the steps. He said to Zhu Yu:

"Boss, you go up and rest first, I'll clean up here!"

"No, no, no, no need." Zhu Yu gritted his teeth, raised his head and said to George above:

"Mr. George, I suggest you call Mr. David here now. These bones need to be dealt with by the owner of this manor."

George naturally knew this. He was shocked when he saw Zhu Yu digging out human bones with a shovel!

Now that he realized what he was doing, George immediately called David and asked him to come over quickly.

After receiving George's call and confirming that he was not joking, David rushed over immediately. When he saw the bones under the pit, David also looked complicated.

"Let's seal this place off first." David immediately announced after regaining his composure, "People around should go to other places first. This place will be classified as a restricted area! Young people in the pit, come up too!"

Ran Jie looked at Zhu Yu, who shook his head and said:

"Mr. David, I'm sure there should be treasure buried under the bones, so I can't go up yet."

George hurriedly explained the explanation Zhu Yu had given him before.

David looked complicated and then said:

"In that case, fine."

There were few people around the manor, and it was already an hour later when the police arrived.

The workers of the manor were the main force, with the help of Zhu Yu and Ran Jie, and three corpses were dug up below.

The police station sent someone to look at it and said it was a corpse from hundreds of years ago.

Although there were injuries on the bones, it was obvious that they had been killed, and hemp ropes were also found, but because they were eucalyptus from hundreds of years ago, they could not be traced, so they gave up.

The current owner of the manor bought it only a few decades ago, and it is impossible to trace the era back that far, so the eucalyptus was only recorded and the bones were buried separately.

Then Zhu Yu's Ran Jie continued digging.

On the way, the two of them ate some dry food they had brought with them to replenish some energy. When they continued digging to more than four meters, they finally made a discovery!

Zhu Yu shoveled a shovel onto something hard. Ran Jie heard the sound and hurried over to help. Then the two of them shoveled away the soft mud, and an iron box appeared!

George was watching the whole process, and David came over from time to time.

Occasionally, treasure hunters come here, but because they have dug up corpses before, the smell here has not dissipated, so most treasure hunters stay away from this place.

When Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were digging up the bones, Howard was still secretly laughing at Zhu Yu who didn't find the treasure but found the body, and might even be implicated.

But now I found that Zhu Yu didn't give up and was still digging deeper. I vaguely admired the perseverance of this Chinese boy!

Howard is naturally not someone willing to admit defeat. He is also racing against time to find places where the treasure may be hidden.

Can't lose to this Chinese boy!

When he heard the few treasure hunters on the other side of the pit exclaiming, Howard's heart sank. Could it be that a treasure has been discovered over there?

Although he tried his best to dissuade himself from going there, Howard was still confused and ran over there with the crowd.

Under the deep pit, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were struggling to lift the box out of the mud.

The iron box is very heavy, and the contents inside are not light either.

Fortunately, this box is half a meter long, about 30 centimeters wide, and 20 centimeters high, so it's not too big.

The two people struggled to lift the box to the steps. Then George asked someone to hang a rope from above and tie it to the box. The person below held it while the person above pulled it up. Soon the box was pulled up.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie also followed.

There was a group of people surrounding the box. When they saw Zhu Yu and Ran Jie approaching, they immediately got out of the way.

Zhu Yu did his job, took a shovel, knocked off the lock on the iron box, and then opened the lid.

Two rolls of black stuff were exposed.

What is this?

Everyone present looked at each other, this didn’t look like a treasure!

Zhu Yu didn't wait for anyone to react, he took out the two rolls of stuff from the box with a shovel, and then peeled one of the rolls open.

Once the contents inside are exposed, everyone will understand!

It turns out that this black thing is cowhide, wrapping the stuff inside.

Peeling off the layers layer by layer, the contents inside were exposed.

This is a roll of paper.

Because the cowhide was wrapped very tightly, the roll of paper was not damaged and the writing on it was clearly visible.

"Documents?" George had a strange look on his face.

Many treasure hunters showed expressions of disappointment or even ridicule.

It’s not treasure!

Zhu Yu was not like this. He picked up the information and read it carefully.

There are curly fonts on it. After a quick glance, I think they are some documents from the American Civil War, which is what we usually call the Civil War.

There is also a letter written to the then famous General Philip Sheridan, and a reply.

This content is good! It should be worth some money!

Zhu Yu smiled and took his backpack, took out the sealed bag, and put the information away.

Seeing Zhu Yu's actions, George couldn't wait to ask:

"Zhu, what is that?"

"Some Documents from the American Civil War."

George suddenly showed an excited expression:

"That must be more valuable!"

Zhu Yu said nothing and started to deal with another roll of things.

When this roll of cowhide was opened, what was revealed was an eye-opener for the treasure hunters watching!

Gold coins, silver dollars, gold jewelry, gemstone rings and more!

Although the items that were dismantled were only a handful, they were very well preserved. If they were from that era, they would be worth a lot of money!

Looking at the rusty things dug out in his hands, it is really infuriating!

Howard feels like a clown!

But he was very jealous of Zhu Yu's luck!

If he hadn't been lucky, how could he have dug up these treasures?

But think about that pit that is nearly five meters deep. Do you have the perseverance to dig it?

Think about the corpses under the pit. If you encountered them, would you continue?

Howard suddenly felt that he really looked like a clown!

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie collected the things, but did not stop. They continued to dig down and dug out three more boxes. There were various things in them, but they were all well preserved.

There are guns and ammunition, a large number of letters, Continental coins issued earlier, and a lot of silver coins.

It's hard to say whether it's worth the money or not.

Of course, this value is calculated based on Zhu Yu's net worth.

After cleaning up these things, it was already dark.

Most of the treasure hunters had already left, but some still had the patience to watch the entire process of Zhu Yu's excavation.

George actually persisted until now.

Seeing Zhu Yu packing up the harvest, George sighed:

"Zhu, I really envy your luck and your ability! You surprise me every time! I find that wherever you go, you will definitely find treasures!"

Zhu Yu smiled and didn't answer.

There were not many people left, but David still officially announced that Zhu Yu was the recipient of the Blackstone Manor Treasure Hunter Medal, and then put the medal on his chest.

Zhu Yu said thanks and drove away with Ran Jie.

This trip is really tiring!

It was the most tiring of his treasure hunting journey!

After sending Ran Jie to the rental house, Zhu Yu went directly back to the new villa and fell asleep.

According to Zhu Yu's understanding, the cost-effectiveness of this treasure hunt is really not high.

But he soon changed this view.

Early the next morning, the phone rang.
To be continued...
