Agent Lily glanced at Seth. Seth nodded, and Lily said, "These are scanned copies of Benjamin Franklin's personal letters to the editor of the New England Journal. They were written in 1722 by a man named Seth Dugood."
Agent Lily searched the computer for a moment and said, "Found it. These letters were secretly written by Benjamin Franklin to his brother when he was 15 years old using Seth Dugood."
Seth put on his glasses and looked at the scanned copies in his hand. After a while, he asked the people around him, "What are these letters for? Why did Ben Gaetz leave them here?"
The people around him thought about it and shook their heads. There was no clue that these letters had anything to do with the founding of a nation. Seth looked at his subordinates and the church, and saw that they were all confused. In the end, he could only look at William.
William shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not an archeologist or history expert, but I can take a look, Seth. Maybe I can find something."
Seth nodded without thinking. He reached out his hand to show the letters to William, but the church immediately stopped him.
"No, you can't read it, Seth. William has a very good memory. He can remember anything he sees with just a glance. I don't know what these letters are for, but I know that I can't show them to William.
Now it seems that the treasure of the Knights Templar is very likely real. Otherwise, Ben Gaetz wouldn't have tried so hard to steal the founding of a nation. Seth, don't forget that the treasure is hidden in America. Even if we don't know where it is now, we can take our time to find it. Don't forget, William is English. "
Seth was a member of the Freemasonry himself. He had always heard of the legend of the treasure, but there were no clues or written records. No one knew where the treasure was hidden, so the important people didn't care about this legendary treasure.
But this time, Ben Gaetz's desperate actions made him wonder if the treasure really existed. But like the church said, it didn't matter if they couldn't find it, as long as the treasure was in America. So, Seth nodded.
"You're right, Church." After saying that, he asked William, "William, since you're so curious about the letter in my hand, you must know something. Can you tell us what it is?"
William rolled his eyes at the guy from the church. "Of course I know, but what's in it for me to tell you?"
Seeing William's annoyed expression and the fact that he had said that he knew even though he hadn't even looked at it, Cedres subconsciously thought that William was spouting nonsense. He said to his subordinates, "Have you found Ben Gaetz's relatives? Find out where his parents live first. Ben Gaetz might go to his parents' place."
"Yes, sir. Ben Gaitz's parents have been divorced for many years. His father lives in Pittsburgh and his mother, Victoria, lives in New York."
Seth said happily, "Well done. Let's go to Pittsburgh. Church, you call the Secret Service in New York and ask them to find Ben Getz's mother."
Church nodded. "No problem."
"Okay, guys, let's go. Let's go to Pittsburgh. I have a feeling that Ben Gaetz will go to his father." Seth clapped his hands and shouted, "Let's move, guys. We're already an hour behind Ben Gaetz. Maybe he's already at his father's house."
William whispered to Church, who was following him, "Shameless." "Thank you, you too."
William and Church smiled at each other. William then asked, "Why didn't you call the Secret Service or the Investigation Bureau in Pittsburgh for help?
It took you an hour to find Ben Gaetz's parents. You guys are used to the outside world, so you're not as efficient as the Investigation Bureau in America. Wouldn't the Investigation Bureau be able to find Ben Gaetz faster? "
Church looked around and said in a low voice, "No one knows that the Declaration of Founding the Nation has been stolen yet. The higher-ups don't dare to let everyone know about it. Otherwise, tomorrow's newspapers will be full of news attacking the current chief executive.
If the chief executive doesn't have it easy, the head of the Secret Service won't have it easy either. The higher-ups won't let this happen. They can only investigate quietly. As for the Investigation Bureau, if you've paid attention to the news before, you'll understand that some people don't have a good relationship. "
"Okay, don't say anymore. I don't care about that. I'm just worried that by the time we get to Ben Gaetz's father's house, Ben Gaetz might have already slipped away."
William said that he was worried, but he was secretly happy. No wonder these people from Church took over the case. Going to Pittsburgh later was exactly what he wanted.
When they drove more than a dozen cars to Pittsburgh, it took them almost an hour and a half to get to Ben Gaetz's father's house. This was indeed a little inefficient.
.....
An hour ago, Riley parked the car in front of an ordinary two-story wooden house and looked around cautiously. "There doesn't seem to be any problems, Ben. The Secret Service shouldn't have found this place yet."
Ben Gaetz nodded. "Riley, drive the car to the side wall of the house. I'll get out and check the situation first."
Ben Gaetz, who got out of the car, did not notice that a black pickup truck was parked at the corner a few hundred meters away from him. A pair of sharp eyes were looking at them from inside. The owner of the car had a headset on his ear. The owner of the eyes could see and hear every move of Ben Gaetz and Riley clearly.
When Ben Gaetz was sure that there was no ambush, he was greatly relieved. He walked to his father's house and pressed the doorbell.
Not long after the door opened, John Vic heard an old voice in the headset saying, "Hey, Ben."
"Good evening, Father."
Pat Gaetz looked at his smiling son and asked in a bad mood, "Why do you have time to see an old man like me, Ben? Are you here to ask me about the treasure again? If that's the case, you don't have to come in. I've told you everything I need to tell you. Don't bother me with the treasure again."
Ben Gaetz quickly reached out to stop his father from closing the door. He begged, "Wait, Father. I found Sherlock. I know what Sherlock is. It's a ship. I dug it out myself."
"What? What did you find? "When he heard that Ben Gaetz had found Sherlock, Pat Gaetz's voice trembled with excitement." Ben, you found the treasure? "
"Uh," Ben Gaetz saw his father so excited and quickly said, "Calm down, Father. Let's go in first."
"Okay, come in quickly." Pat Gaetz moved aside to let Ben Gaetz and Riley enter the house.
In the distance, John Vic had received a text message from William earlier and was waiting for an opportunity to snatch the picture barrel from Ben Gaetz's hand. When he saw the three of them enter the house, John Vic took out the M1911 under his arm and checked the status of the gun. After that, he quietly drove to the side street of Pat Gaetz's house.
Listening to Ben Gaetz's voice and confirming that there were only three people in the house, John Vic opened the car door, put on a hood and gloves, and walked to Pat Gaetz's house in the dark.
