After sending off Victoria, who was in a good mood, William sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. Since the Founding of the Nation was stolen, no one would believe that the treasure did not exist. Otherwise, who would spend so much effort to steal it?
After thinking about it for a long time, William decided to shift the target as he had thought before. He wanted to muddy the waters even more and let the insiders think that the purpose of stealing the Founding of the Nation was to protect the treasure, and that only the Freemasonry wanted to protect the treasure.
As long as the United States could not find any clues about the transportation of the treasure in the days to come, they would think that the purpose of the person who stole the Founding of the Nation was not to get the treasure, but to protect it and let it sleep in a corner of the United States.
Only the Freemasonry would destroy the secret behind the Founding of the Nation and return the Founding of the Nation to the United States.
According to the thinking of normal people, if people from other forces found the secret, they would definitely destroy the Founding of the Nation to avoid future troubles. He only needed to open a portal to take care of the transportation.
William put on his clothes and went to the supermarket to buy a large cart of daily necessities and food snacks. When he returned home, he mixed the daily necessities with water and alcohol at home and smeared it on the back of the Founding of the Nation.
Half an hour later, William experimented and found that the mathematics and patterns behind the Founding of the Nation were indeed gone.
Then, he mixed lemon juice and some other things and smeared the words "Treasure will never appear" on the prepared font, along with the ancient Freemasonry's Divine Eye logo.
After the lemon juice mixture dried, William breathed a sigh of relief on the back of the Founding of the Nation. The newly written words quickly appeared, which made William overjoyed.
At midnight, William teleported to the sewer in Washington last time. He scanned with his mind power to see if anyone was there before he jumped out of the sewer and openly hung the Founding of the Nation on the hand of the Lincoln statue at the Lincoln Memorial.
After doing all this, William clapped his hands and was secretly happy. There would be something to see tomorrow, haha.
Sure enough, the next day, the news reported that the police had received a report that a document suspected to be the Founding of the Nation was found on the hand of the Lincoln statue. After receiving the report, the National Archives and the Special Task Force surrounded the Lincoln Memorial. The document was also quickly escorted to the National Archives for examination.
After more than an hour of preliminary examination, the experts unanimously confirmed that this was the Declaration of the Founding of the Nation that they had lost. However, there were obvious traces of medicine on the back of the document, which disappointed some of the people who had rushed over.
The document had been tampered with, and the secret had been obtained. After further monitoring by the restoration commissioners, they found the 'treasure will never appear' and the Freemasonry symbol behind the declaration.
This discovery made everyone at the scene take in a deep breath. A few special commissioners even looked at each other in surprise, indicating that they were not the culprits. However, these people were all experienced in the battlefield, so they could not tell anything from their eyes and expressions.
Seth, who had been living a life worse than death these past few days, hurried over. Seeing the situation, Seth glared at the commissioners.
Cedres knew that these people were the close confidants of the Grand Elders of the major Freemasonry factions.
Although he wasn't sure if it was done by a member of the Freemasonry, Seth believed that no one else could have done it.
Even if the declaration was stolen by other forces, Seth could only insist that it was done by the Freemasonry. There was no need for him to investigate his own people, so Seth glared at the commissioners and said, "We need to talk."
The commissioners were now a little suspicious. They should have known more about the situation before returning to report it.
Seth led them into a small conference room. His subordinates scanned the room and nodded. "Clear, sir."
"Thank you. Go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone in."
"Understood, sir."
After a while, only Seth and the four commissioners were left in the conference room. Seth asked directly, "Tell me, was it done by one of our own?"
A man in his fifties frowned. "Watch your words, Seth. You're just a middle-level officer. You have no right to order us around."
Seth didn't care about his rank now. He was in big trouble. He stared at the man who spoke and said, "Yes, I have no right to order you around, but I have the right to investigate this matter. If I find out that it was done by one of our own, tell me what to do."
"Seth, how can you be so sure that it was done by one of our own? Can't you see that it's so obvious? Or are you so crazy that you don't care about anything else just to shirk responsibility? "
Seth couldn't care less now that his family had almost been sent to Switzerland. He took out a few documents and threw them on the conference table. "This is the testimony of Ben Gaetz and Riley, as well as my investigation over the past few days. We can now confirm that two years ago, Ian suddenly found Ben Gaetz and spent a large sum of money to support him. This sum of money was beyond Ian's assets.
What does this mean? This means that someone had been watching Ben Gaetz for two years, or even longer, and as soon as Ben Gaetz found a clue, Ian and his gang were killed at a farm outside Pittsburgh.
We don't know who did it, but a member of Ian's gang named Shaw went missing. His family received five million pounds in cash yesterday and rushed to Switzerland. "
"The second document is the information of some of the directors and curators of the National Archives that I've investigated over the past few days.
Haha, 14 of the 17 directors are problematic. I only spent two days to find out that Mr. Curator had an unclear relationship with seven women. Four of them had given birth to his children and lived in a luxurious house. As for the other problems, you can see for yourselves. I'm too embarrassed to say them out loud. "
Seth slammed his hand on the table and roared angrily, "You should know the art dealer and the souvenir shop company on page 11, right? Don't tell me that they're not our people.
There are more than a dozen people who are related to us. Now tell me, other than our own people, who has the power to steal the Declaration without anyone noticing?
If it wasn't for a hidden camera that took a blurry photo of the thief, the mastermind who wanted to frame Ben Gaetz and William Devonshire failed and had to return it to reduce the pressure of public opinion. The Declaration might have been hidden in someone's collection room and never seen the light of day again. "
After the four commissioners finished reading the information that Seth gave them, they started to get angry. How could there be so many parasites?
However, they weren't idiots. "Calm down, Seth. If it were our own people, they wouldn't even need to steal the Declaration of the Founding of the Nation. They could just find a random reason to examine it here."
"Haha, that's because no one knew that the secret was behind the Declaration. When Ben Gaetz found the evidence at Point Barrow, someone wanted to take it for themselves.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even need to frame and silence us. They destroyed the secret of the Declaration and came back to show off. This is to tell us not to meddle in other people's business. The treasure already belongs to them. "
Seth's words made the hearts of the four commissioners tighten. They all thought that it was possible. There were too many internal members, and there must be many who had other intentions.
"We'll report what you said. Keep a close eye on William Devonshire. He's a big suspect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Seth and the others stared at him.
This made the person who spoke want to slap himself. They weren't idiots. Of course, they knew that William was a suspect, but saying it at this time would make them look like they were trying to shift the blame and divert attention.
Based on what they knew, William was no longer a suspect in their hearts. They didn't think that William, an Englishman who had made his fortune less than half a year ago, had the ability to do all this in a few days after finding the clue.
In the end, everyone left unhappily and reported to their superiors.
