Treasure Hunt all over the World

"No wonder this guy hasn't moved his nest for 30 years! It's because of this!"

Ye Tian sighed inwardly, and then continued to investigate the situation of the inner hut.

The furnishings in the room are simple and clear at a glance.

A double sofa, a high chair, several oil paintings, a bookshelf 1.5 meters high and 1.2 meters wide, with some books on it! Most of them are religious and art books.

There is a shrine against the wall on the west side of the room. It should have been built at the same time as this small building. It radiates red light in Ye Tian's eyes, but it is of little value!

In addition, there are two pinhole cameras in the room, located at the east and west ends, monitoring the entire room!

As far as I can see, I can't see the secret room or the entrance to the secret passage. The room is very quiet, as if no one has been here!

Obviously, the guy Thompson closed the door immediately after entering the secret room or secret passage, so he didn't find it!

Is it a secret room, or a secret passage leading to something else? Where is it hiding?

With these questions, Ye Tian began to see through every corner of the room, every centimeter of wall and floor.

The walls are not too thick, there are no walls or mechanisms inside, and the next door is a reference room, which no one has entered for many years, it is dusty, very quiet, and there are no secrets.

Since it is not next door, it can only be underground! The secret is hidden under the floor, no doubt about it!

The line of sight immediately penetrated the ancient red bricks laid on the ground, and looked directly at the ground.

Underneath the sofa, bookshelf, and several oil paintings are the solid foundations and black soil, and there is no shadow of secret rooms or secret passages at all.

Then, Ye Tian's gaze turned to the shrine standing against the wall.

There are two bronze angel statues on the front of the shrine, about 20 centimeters high, and the carvings are of average level. Although they are old, they are of little value!

But it was these two angel statues that instantly attracted Ye Tian's attention.

There is no other reason, the gloss of the two angel statues is different, even far from each other!

The angel statue on the right seems to be touched frequently. The statue has a shiny appearance and a layer of pulp. It seems to have played with the plate for many years. There are traces of friction and rotation on the base position!

Although the angel image on the left is also impressive, it is still much worse than the one on the right, and it doesn't look like the luster from playing on a plate, but more like it was wiped off with a towel, and it lacks popularity!

What's more, there is absolutely no trace of rotational friction at the base of the statue on the left!

Obviously, the angel on the right looks tricky!

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Tian immediately began to see through this angel statue!

Under the perspective, the biggest secret of the studio is immediately revealed.

as predicted!

This angel seems to be active and can rotate 90 degrees inward.

Its base is connected to an organ, which consists of several pulleys, iron chains, and a metal pipe about the thickness of the wrist. The iron chain is connected to the mechanism inside the shrine through the metal pipe.

These chains and pulleys inside and outside the shrine are very lubricated, and they seem to be used frequently and run smoothly.

Obviously, someone is carefully maintaining these organ parts.

And the person who maintains these organs is undoubtedly Pastor Thompson.

The perspective continued, and Ye Tian completely grasped the secret of the shrine in an instant.

This shrine is a door. As long as you hold the angel statue on the right and rotate it inwards 90 degrees, you can open the door, and the shrine can be opened by 90 degrees.

After entering this secret door, you can pull up the shrine from the inside, let the shrine return to its original position, and cover up the traces of entry and exit!

The reason why Thompson was able to disappear from the world without leaving any traces came from this!

From the friction marks on the base of the angel statue and the friction marks between the shrine and the ground, it can be seen that this secret door was opened very frequently.

And these traces don't seem to be very old, they are all friction traces that have appeared in recent years!

Although some people tried to cover up these traces and did some tricks, in Ye Tian's eyes, it was completely useless, and he saw through it at a glance.

Obviously, Thompson often opened this secret door to enter and exit the secret room or secret passage located in the underground.

Don't even think about it, this underground secret room, or the place where the secret road leads, is Thompson's real art warehouse and the ultimate goal of his own investigation!

There must be a large number of top antique art hidden there, probably including the 13 top works of art that were looted from the Gardner Museum, and the remaining three famous paintings that were looted by the Bieler Foundation in Switzerland!

What kind of secret room is hidden behind the shrine? How big is the area? What year was it built? Why did you build this secret room? And most importantly, how many top vintage artworks are hidden inside?

If there is a secret passage behind the shrine, where does this secret passage lead? Is it the old apartment building next to it? Or the building of Captain Jack's cottage in front of the church?

And where the secret passage finally leads, what is hidden? Is it danger or wealth?

With countless questions, Ye Tianqiang suppressed his inner excitement and continued to see through.

His gaze continued downwards, directly penetrating the shrine, and looking at the mysterious door behind.

This is a secret door about sixty centimeters in width and one meter six in height.

Behind the secret door is a sloping stone secret passage with stairs. This passage extends down at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and the slope is not small!

Going down the dark passage for about two meters, you can see a spiral staircase, which is also a stone staircase, very strong!

This spiral staircase leads directly to the depths of the ground, and two steps down the ladder, there is enough space above your head, so you don't have to hunched forward!

And where this spiral staircase leads to, Ye Tian is temporarily unknown! We can only know after sneaking in quietly at night and detecting on the spot.

When his sight reaches the spiral staircase, he can no longer enter an inch!

It was more than two meters deep into the ground and nearly three meters deep, which had reached the limit of perspective depth. If it weren't for the open dark passage, which made the line of sight unobstructed, he probably wouldn't be able to see the spiral staircase.

At this point, it means that this perspective exploration can end here.

The line of sight will not turn! What if it doesn't end?

Although I didn't see where the spiral staircase leads to, nor did I see the secret room where the antique artworks are hidden, this perspective exploration has been very successful and the harvest is huge!

"Awesome! Thompson! Even if you drill into the depths of the earth, my buddy can catch you out, and my buddy will point you to make a fortune!"

Ye Tian cheered in a low voice again, very excited!

In the process of perspective exploration, he has basically grasped the situation of this dark passage.

This is a stone-built secret passage. Although it has a history of nearly three hundred years, it is still very solid and solid, and there is not even a crack on the wall!

The people who built the Old North Church at the beginning did not know what the purpose was, but they built such a fortress-level secret passage. It must have a very important purpose.

From the analysis of the situation in the secret passage, the secret room under the spiral staircase is probably stronger and more magnificent, maybe it is an underground palace.

The people who built this secret passage and secret room would never have imagined that this place would fall into the hands of Thompson and be used by him to hide stolen antique art and use it for art crimes!

If they knew this, they would probably be mad at the three corpses! Die again!

Not only was this dark passage sturdy, but Thompson also made some modifications and added some things.

He installed an emergency light in the dark passage of more than two meters for illumination and for ease of action; he also installed essential monitoring equipment, very cautious!

From this, it can be seen that lighting and monitoring equipment must also be installed in the secret room located deep underground.

It is even possible for him to transform the underground secret room into a constant temperature and humidity studio to preserve antique artworks, so as not to damage those valuable treasures.

Everything is possible!

Ye Tian took his eyes back from the dark passage and turned to look at the studio outside.

There is also a top artwork there, just waiting to be seen!

At this point, the most wanted answer has been found, it's time to treat yourself! And appreciating top-level artworks is also a very good way to reward!

His eyes entered the studio again, Ye Tian looked directly at the oil painting on the easel, his eyes were very excited and full of anticipation!

This is a landscape oil painting that is about to be completed. The size is medium, about 70*95.

The content of the picture is very familiar to Ye Tian. It is a very famous painting, one of the representative works of the famous French realistic landscape painter Corot.

But unfortunately, this is not the top artwork that Corot contributed to the world, it is just a copy!

The level of copying is okay! You can still see a little taste of Corot's paintings!

As for the person who copied, of course, the venerable Pastor Thompson!

He used special pigments to forge the surface of another famous painting and copied Corot's famous painting! And the painting covered with special pigments was the top artwork that Ye Tian really wanted to see.

It is a painting from nearly 400 years ago, by the master, with extraordinary artistic value!

But is it the work of that master artist? Ye Tian still doesn't know anything!

When the perspective is turned on, the secret no longer exists in an instant, and a baroque oil painting is very clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.

The moment he saw the content of this oil painting, Ye Tian couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, with excitement and joy in his voice!

"! Velazquez's! My God! It's this famous painting that the Spaniards have been searching for for decades!"

Velazquez, a Spanish painter in the Baroque period of the seventeenth century, has a high artistic achievement and is known as the first master in the history of Spanish painting!

And this one, one of his masterpieces, has been in the Prado Museum in Madrid for centuries.

In the 1970s, this oil painting was stolen from the Prado Museum, and its whereabouts are still unknown!

The Spanish police and the Prado Museum have never given up on the pursuit of this famous painting for decades, but they have never received any news, and some even say that the famous painting has been completely burned!

But who would have thought that this famous painting actually appeared in Boston and fell into the hands of Thompson.

And looking at the current situation, this top artwork should have found a home and is ready to be traded, so Thompson will take out this famous painting and fake it!

"Fortunately, my buddy stepped in, otherwise the Spaniards may never be able to recover this famous painting! God knows it will become the collector's private collection!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed, his eyes had already started to glow green!

Then, he adjusted his mood a little and began to appreciate this masterpiece!
