Chapter 524: Stone underpass
"No wonder this guy hasn't moved his nest for 30 years! It turned out to be because of this!"
Ye Tian sighed secretly, and then continued to investigate the situation in the cabin.
The furnishings in the room are very simple and clear at a glance.
A two-seater sofa, a high chair, a few oil paintings, a bookshelf measuring 1.5 meters high and 1.2 meters wide with some books on it! Basically they are religious and art books.
There is a shrine on the west side of the room against the wall. It should have been built at the same time as this small building. It radiated a red light in Ye Tian's eyes, but it was of little value!
In addition, there are two pinhole cameras in the room, located on the east and west sides, monitoring the entire room!
As far as I could see, I didn't see the secret room or the secret passage entrance. The room was very quiet, as if no one had been here!
Obviously, after the guy Thompson entered the secret room or secret passage, he immediately closed the door, so he didn't find it!
Is it a secret room or a secret road leading to other places? Where is it hidden?
With these questions in mind, Ye Tian began to see through every corner of the room, every centimeter of walls and ground.
The walls are not too thick. There are no walls or institutions inside. The next door is a reference room. No one has entered for many years. It is dusty, very quiet and without any secrets.
Since it's not next door, it can only be underground! The secret is hidden under the floor, no doubt!
The line of sight immediately penetrated the ancient red bricks laid on the ground and looked directly at the ground.
The sofas, bookshelves, and a few oil paintings are all tamped foundations and black soil. There is no shadow of secret rooms or secret passages at all.
Then, Ye Tian turned to the shrine that stood against the wall.
There are two bronze angel statues on the front of the shrine, about 20 centimeters high, and the carving level is average. Although they are old, they are of little value!
But it was these two angels that instantly attracted Ye Tian's attention.
There is no other reason. The glossiness of the two angels is different, or even far apart!
The angel statue on the right seems to be often touched by people. The statue is shiny and shiny, with a layer of grout. It seems to have been playing with the plate for many years, and there are traces of friction and rotation on the base!
Although the angel on the left is a good example, it is still much worse than on the right, and it doesn't look like the gloss of a game, but more like a towel wiped out, lacking popularity!
More importantly, the base of the statue on the left has no traces of rotating friction at all!
Obviously, the angel on the right looks tricky!
Without hesitation for a moment, Ye Tian immediately began to see through the angel statue!
Under perspective, the biggest secret of this studio was immediately revealed.
as predicted!
This angel seems to be mobile, and can rotate ninety degrees inward.
Its base is connected to a mechanism, consisting of several pulleys and iron chains, and a metal pipe with the thickness of a wrist. The iron chain is connected to the mechanism inside the shrine through the metal pipe.
The iron chains and pulleys inside and outside the shrine are very lubricated. They seem to be used frequently and run smoothly. It is estimated that the sound is very small when it is turned on, and there is not even a trace of sound.
Obviously, someone is carefully maintaining these organ parts.
And the person who maintains these institutions is undoubtedly Pastor Thompson.
The perspective continued, and Ye Tian quickly grasped the secret of the shrine.
This shrine is just a door. As long as you hold the angel statue on the right and rotate it ninety degrees inward, you can open the door. The shrine is also opened by ninety 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 as if the world evaporated without leaving any traces originated from this!
It can be seen from the friction marks on the base of the angel statue and the friction marks between the shrine and the ground that this hidden door is opened very frequently.
And these traces seem to be not too old, they are all traces of friction that have appeared in recent years!
Although some people tried to conceal these traces and did some tricks, in Ye Tian's eyes, this was completely useless, and he could see through it at a glance.
Obviously, Thompson often opens this secret door, entering and exiting secret rooms or secret passages located underground.
Without even thinking about it, this secret room located underground, 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 artworks hidden there, and it is likely to include the 13 top artworks looted in the Gardner Museum, and the remaining three famous paintings looted by the Swiss Birler Foundation!
What kind of secret room is hidden behind the shrine? What is the area? In what year was it built? Why did you come to build this secret room? Most importantly, how many top antique artworks are hidden inside?
If there is a secret path behind the shrine, where will this secret path lead? Is it the old apartment building next to it? Or the building of Captain Jack's cottage at the entrance of the church?
And what is hidden in the place where the secret path finally leads? Is it danger or wealth?
With countless questions, Ye Tianqiang suppressed his excitement and continued to see through.
He continued to look down, penetrated the shrine directly, and looked towards the mysterious door behind.
This is a secret door with a width of about 60 cm and a height of about 1.6 meters. It happens to be completely blocked by the shrine, allowing only one person to enter, and it has to be arched.
Behind the hidden door is a stone-built hidden passage with a stepped downward slope. This passage extends down at an angle of about forty-five degrees. The **** is not small!
Go down the underpass for about two meters, and 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, two steps down the staircase, there is enough space above the head, and there is no need to bow forward!
Ye Tian didn't know where this spiral staircase led to! It can only be known after sneaking in at night and exploring on the spot.
When his gaze reached the spiral staircase, he couldn't get in any more!
It was more than two meters underground and nearly three meters deep, and it had reached the limit of perspective. If it weren't for the empty dark tunnel, which made his sight unobstructed, he might not have seen the spiral staircase.
Here, it means that this perspective exploration can be over.
The line of sight will not turn! What can I do if it doesn't end?
Although I did not see where the spiral staircase leads, nor the secret room where the antique art is hidden, the perspective exploration has been very successful, and the harvest is extremely great!
"Awesome! Thompson! Even if you dig deep into the heart of the earth, your buddy can pull you out, and your buddy will point you to get rich!"
Ye Tian cheered in a low voice again, very excited!
In the process of fluoroscopy and exploration, he has basically grasped the situation of this secret passage.
This is a hidden stone road. Although it has a history of nearly three hundred years, it is still very strong and strong. There are no cracks on the wall!
The people who built the Old North Church did not know for what purpose they built such a fortress-level underpass, which must have a very important purpose.
Analyzing the situation in the secret tunnel, 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 will probably never think that this place will fall into the hands of Thompson, and he will use it to hide stolen antique artworks and use it for art crime!
If they knew this, they would probably be furious with the angry three corpses! Die again!
This tunnel is not only strong and strong, but Thompson has also made some changes and added some things.
He installed an emergency light in a dark tunnel of more than two meters to illuminate and to facilitate his actions; he also installed essential monitoring equipment, very cautious!
It can be seen that lighting and monitoring equipment must have been installed down the spiral staircase and in the secret room deep underground.
It is even possible for him to transform the basement secret room into a constant temperature and humidity studio to preserve antique works of art to prevent damage to valuable treasures.
Everything is possible!
Ye Tian retracted his gaze from the dark tunnel and turned to look at the outside studio.
There is also a top-level artwork, waiting to be appreciated by myself!
At this point, the most desired answer has been found, and it is time to treat yourself! And to appreciate the top art is also a very good way to reward!
Looking into the studio again, Ye Tian looked directly at the oil painting on the easel, his eyes were very excited and full of expectation!
This is a landscape oil painting 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 and one of the representative works of the famous French realist landscape painter Corot.
But unfortunately, this is not the top art that Corot contributed to the world, it is just a copy of it!
The level of copying is not bad! You can still see the taste of Corot's paintings!
As for the copying person, of course the respectable Pastor Thompson!
He used special paints to fake the surface of another famous painting, copying Corot's famous painting! The painting covered by the special paint is the top art that Ye Tian really wants to see.
It was a painting from a master nearly four hundred years ago, with extraordinary artistic value!
But is it the work of that master artist? Ye Tian still knows nothing!
When the perspective opens, the secret is no longer there in an instant, and a Baroque style oil painting is very clear in Ye Tian's eyes.
As soon as he saw the content of this oil painting clearly, Ye Tian couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, with excitement and joy in his voice!
"It's Velázquez! God! It's actually this famous painting that the Spaniard has been looking for for decades!"
Velázquez~www.wuxiaspot.com~Spanish painter in the Baroque period of the 17th century. His artistic achievements are extremely high. He is known as the first master in the history of Spanish painting!
And this one is one of his masterpieces, which has been in the Prado Museum in Madrid for centuries.
In the 1970s, this painting was stolen from the Prado Museum and its whereabouts are still unknown!
The Spanish police and the Prado Museum have never given up tracing this famous painting for decades, but they have never received any news, and some even say that this famous painting has been completely burned!
But who would have thought that this famous painting appeared in Boston and fell into Thompson's hands.
And looking at the current situation, this top art should have found a next home and is ready to trade, so Thompson will take this famous painting out as a fake!
"Fortunately, my buddy got a kick, otherwise the Spaniards may never be able to take back this famous painting! God knows it will become the collector's private collection!"
Ye Tian sighed to himself, his eyes had begun to glow green!
Then, he adjusted his mood a little and began to appreciate this masterpiece!
