Chapter 1022: Close to the target
After pretending to be beaten in the rest of the reception room, and after careful investigation, after waiting for the scene to complete, Ye Tian came to the place where the treasure was really hidden.
This is the wall on the west side of the reception room. Like the rest of the room, the wall is covered with light brown cherry wood panels, solemn and elegant, with a luxurious atmosphere.
The entire wall is empty, very monotonous, without any decorations, no furniture, not to mention expensive antique artworks.
Going closer and observing carefully, you can see some traces left on the walls and the floor. You should have done some treatment. Although it is very shallow, you can still find it!
From these traces, it can be judged that a painting was once hung on this wall, and two pieces of furniture were placed on the front floor, which should be a two-seater sofa and a side table!
Adjacent to this wall is a tall and bright window. Through the glass on the window, it is the green lung of New York and the most beautiful place in New York, Central Park.
The sofa that was placed here before is right in front of this window, and the position is perfect.
The person sitting on the sofa, looking back, is full of green and green! It is particularly rare in this modern city with many tall buildings in New York, and it is also a very good enjoyment.
Standing in front of this wall, Ye Tian saw the lush Central Park through the window, and also saw the crowd of onlookers gathered on the grass in the park.
Among the onlookers downstairs, there are many reporters from major news media in New York. They are raising their guns and shooting at them.
Almost when Ye Tian saw them, these guys also found Ye Tian's figure through the telephoto lens on the camera.
"Look! The guy Steven appeared, right next to the window facing the street! Looking at the wall next to the window!"
With a loud shout, almost everyone at the scene looked up, and everyone's expression was quite excited.
The cameras and video cameras in the hands of many media reporters quickly pointed to the window where Ye Tian was, and the shutter sounded one after another.
At this moment, Ye Tianqinglang's voice suddenly came again, and it was transmitted to everyone's ears through various live broadcast terminals.
"If you are familiar with Mr. An Siyuan, you should not be unfamiliar with this area. In this reception room, this is his favorite place, and there are many photos left!
In front of this window, there was once a two-seater sofa from the Georgian period, made of walnut, exquisitely made and elegant!
That walnut two-seat sofa comes from the British royal family. It is one of the most typical pieces of British furniture in the walnut period of the early 18th century. It is very rare and valuable!
Next to this sofa, close to this wall, there is a side table, which is a piece of Huanghuali furniture from the Ming Dynasty in China. It is divided into upper and lower floors and is scattered!
Like the previous Huanghuali armchairs, this Huanghuali side table is also very valuable. It was sold for more than $1 million at the Jinse Nianhua special auction!
The upper layer of this side table is a beautiful and unique table lamp, which is composed of a blue and white jade pot spring vase from the late Ming Dynasty in China and an antique Tiffany lampshade at the end of the 19th century!
Regarding the blue and white jade pot spring bottle from China in the late Ming Dynasty, I can give you a specific figure. Its market value should be around US$800,000! Even higher! "
"Wow! That's an exaggeration!"
Exclamation sounded again on the live broadcast end, one after another.
"My God! Anything is worth tens of millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars. This is where people live, and heaven is nothing more than that!"
"It's no wonder that Steven is no longer on Wall Street. He went to the antique shop and became a professional treasure hunter and a top antique art appraisal expert.
With his eyesight, it is obviously easier to make money in the antique shop than on Wall Street. Just picking up a leak can save others' hard work and desperate work for a lifetime. Where can I go about it? "
Just as people were talking about it, the live broadcast picture changed again!
Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured towards the imprint on the wall, motioned Jason to aim the phone camera at it and give it a close-up!
Immediately afterwards, his professional explanation followed.
"Everyone, please look at this mark. From the size of the mark, you can see that there was a painting hanging here, and the size is not small, about 150*80.
What once hung here is a Chinese painting with elegant meaning, a masterpiece by Shi Lu, a famous modern Chinese painter and founder of the Chang'an School of Painting, "Spring Plum Independence".
He is a modern and modern Chinese painter that An Siyuan likes and admires very much. This "Spring Plum Independence" is the first Shi Lu work in An Siyuan's collection and was purchased in the 1970s.
Because of this work, An Siyuan fell in love with Shi Lu's art. In the 1980s, he bought a large number of his paintings from the Shi Lu family to enrich his collection.
Under the promotion of An Siyuan, Shi Lu's paintings became the first modern calligraphy and painting works in mainland China to enter the international art market, and were recognized and praised by the international market.
Although An Siyuan has a lot of Shi Lu's paintings, his favorite is still this "Spring Plum Independence". This painting is outstanding in terms of painting technique, artistic conception and calligraphy!
It was because of his love for this painting that he hung the "Spring Plum Independence" here, so that he could appreciate and appreciate it at any time, and it became his favorite place to stay.
Because he likes to stay here, we can see this Chinese painting in many of his photos, and see the stiff and strange ink plum blossom blooming proudly!
After An Siyuan's death, his favorite Shi Lu painting, "Spring Plum Independence", was also sent to Christie's auction, and the final hammer price was $520,000!
All of his other Shilu paintings in his collection have also been auctioned off, but none of the paintings sold for more than this one, which shows what an excellent work of art this is! "
"Wow! It's another work of art worth millions of dollars, but it's not mine!"
The exclamation sounded again, throughout every live broadcast.
Those melon-eaters who are watching this live treasure hunt have their eyes flushed with envy, and they are going crazy!
Suppressing the excitement a bit, Ye Tian then continued:
"This "Spring Plum Independence" is one of An Siyuan's favorite paintings, but when it comes to love, it is far less than the huge, green and transparent jade ring he wore.
Mr. An Siyuan has left us, may he rest in heaven! His more than 2,000 antique works of art have been auctioned off in compliance with his wishes.
But ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the only one missing the jade ring! Although he once said that before dying, he would swallow that emerald ring into his stomach and bring it into the coffin to bury him!
I don’t know if others believe this, but I absolutely don’t believe An Siyuan would do it. It is a very crazy but stupid idea. Smart people don’t do that kind of thing!
An Siyuan is obviously a very smart person! So where would he hide the priceless jade ring? Will it be here? This place he likes to stay very much.
This possibility is obviously not small! Maybe I can find a surprise here, find the famous and valuable jade ring, and settle this unsolved case in the field of antique art collection!
Having said so much, it’s time to get to the main topic. Follow me to discover the treasure. Don’t go away. A miracle might happen in the next second. It’s a shame to miss it! "
With that said, Ye Tian took a step forward and began to probe the wall in front of him.
Provoked by his words, the atmosphere on the live broadcast side has become even hotter. Everyone is attentively watching the live broadcast, looking forward to witnessing the miracle!
