Chapter 43 Never disappoints
Generally speaking, not to mention the danger of going down the spiral staircase, the most important thing is that even if Locke can enter through the entrance and find the secret room, he cannot open the stone wall, so Locke chooses another way.

That is the exit of the treasure, which is another way that Locke thought of, and the location of the exit of the treasure is also very simple, people who don't know the inside story will never think of it.

There are a large number of masonic celebrity coffins stored here, and the exit is located behind the second tombstone on the right side of the entrance, which is the principle of using the dark under the lamp.

It can be said that the designer who buried this treasure is very good at taking advantage of people's psychology.

After thinking for a while, Locke restored Parkington Lane's coffin to its original position, and then carefully placed the entrance tombstone back. After making sure that there was no problem, he carefully opened the exit tombstone.

Unlike the previous tombstone, after this tombstone was opened, there was no coffin inside, only a narrow stone hole.

Locke didn't hesitate, and climbed in. About ten meters forward, the passage began to widen, and stone steps appeared one after another.

It took half an hour to advance along the stone steps, and Locke saw a stone wall.

He looked around, but couldn't find any switches.

Obviously, this stone wall can only be opened from the inside, that is to say, only by entering from the entrance can it be possible to enter the place where the treasure is buried.

I looked at my watch, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning. If it continues at this time, it won't be long before some members of the church are likely to get up to work.

Thinking of this, Locke returned quickly, climbed out of the passage, carefully placed the tombstone back, checked it carefully, and confirmed that there were no traces left, then quietly left the church and returned to the apartment all the way.

Lying on the bed again, Locke began to think about how to get the treasure.

He first ruled out the method of using an explosion to blow open the stone door, because he couldn't guarantee that the underground cave where the treasure was placed was strong enough.

If it accidentally blows up and collapses, Locke may not be able to escape in time and be buried in it, not to mention whether he can get the treasure again.

Even if the chances are small, Locke doesn't want to take this risk.

As for telling the news to the US government, he didn't even want to.

The discoverer of the treasure can get 10% of the total value of the treasure. The value of the treasure in the movie is tens or even tens of billions of dollars.

But this only yields dollars.

Moreover, most of the treasures are gold, jewelry, and works of art. When evaluating the value, as a nobody, Locke is 100% sure that those in the US government will definitely do a lot of manipulation.

In this way, the harvest is not only reduced by ten times, but tens to hundreds of times.

In this regard, the US government will never disappoint.

Holding Tang Wei who was still sleeping, Locke began to recall the plot in the movie, trying to find clues on how to find the pipe.

Unfortunately, in the end, he could only confirm that the key to open the mechanism was on a wooden cargo ship in the Arctic Circle. There was no specific location information at all, and trying to search for it was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

After thinking for a while, Locke didn't think about how to find the ship.

I was upset for a long time, until the night gradually receded, and Locke couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and tidied up, changed his clothes and went for a run on the street outside.

"Hey, Locke!" After running for a while, I heard a female voice from behind.

"Good morning, Monica!"

Locke turned his head and waved to the girl who greeted her. It was Monica from Friends.

In the past few days, Locke has been jogging nearby, and he can always meet her. In the past year, Locke would come to New York to see Tang Wei from time to time, and the two of them would sometimes go to the bar, so they naturally got to know this frequent customer of the bar.

Monica in high school was a veritable fat girl, but now she has a slim figure. To achieve this, in addition to dieting, she also needs to maintain a lot of exercise for a long time.

"I heard that you will be going to college soon." The two chatted while continuing to run. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and Monica felt that Locke seemed more handsome than before.

"That's right, Princeton University is only two or three hours' drive from New York."

"That's great. In this way, you and Alice (Tang Wei) can be together often."

"That's right, this will also avoid long-distance relationships."

In the United States, three-year-olds know that long-distance relationships are emotional killers, and there are many jokes about American Marines on the Internet in later generations.

These people are drifting abroad, often unable to be contacted, and their wives or girlfriends are not around, so they spend their excess energy abroad.

It's like when Mr. George Cooper met Sheldon's friend Dan for the first time, he still asked Dan's mother's name if it was Kim Lee, and he was greatly relieved after getting a negative answer.

When they are cool, the family also faces problems, such as lawnmowers, plumbers, etc., which often appear. Similar plots are a very popular series in the San Fernando Valley.

Bums like Joy or Barney also like to target these desperate housewives whose husbands are away all the year round to comfort their lonely hearts.

The West divides heart and love very clearly, and even an occasional derailment cannot be used as evidence to determine the final result of a marriage's fault, and there are reasons for this.

There are too many similar things. If it is the same as the Eastern concept, the original divorce rate of 64% will directly explode.

I can only make a new set of rhetoric in reverse: "Your husband (wife) loves you, but he accidentally lost control of his hormones and made a mistake that both men and women make. You should forgive him (her) generously." )."

When this set of rhetoric is widely accepted by the public, psychological counselors who do marriage counseling can openly comfort and say:
This kind of thing is too common. If you want to live a decent life, you have to wear a little green on your hair. If you persuade people to look at it, you can barely suppress the high divorce rate and let people still have confidence in the family.

Monica naturally didn't know the real relationship between Locke and Tang Wei, but she just felt lucky that he was able to come to New York: "Speaking of which, why didn't you choose Columbia University, so that you can be in the same school as Alice."

"I chose mathematics. Princeton University's mathematics department is the top in the United States." Locke directly explained the reason.

"Alice told me that you are a genius and won a medal in the Olympiad. It's not like my brother. He scored 1250 in the SAT test, but he kept boasting that he scored 1450 in the test."

Monica has always been uncomfortable with her brother. Her goal since she was a child was to become a chef, so she didn't go to college after graduating from high school, which made Ross laugh at her all the time.

"Thank you for your compliment, but I'm still far from a real genius." Locke smiled and said, "I know two real geniuses, and they are only 11 years old now, and they are going to go to school in Princeton like me. "

"Really?!" Monica was taken aback.

"Of course, Peggy Swanson and Sheldon Cooper, I met them in high school,"

Having said that, Locke suddenly had an idea: "Speaking of Monica, are you interested in trying to be a temporary guardian?"

"Temporary guardian?!" Monica didn't understand why Locke suddenly jumped the topic so far.
