Chapter 601: Sarcophagus secret path
The weather today is fine, the sun is shining, and the temperature seems to be a few degrees higher than before, not so cold anymore.
The old North Church is bustling inside and outside, and tourists can be seen everywhere!
Around 10:50 in the morning, many tourists were visiting the church or the Rivera Garden, taking pictures, or thinking about where to eat and what to eat for lunch!
At this moment, a scream of sirens came from everyone's ears, which completely shredded the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around this famous historical building.
Hearing the sound of police sirens, people immediately walked out of the church or walked to the ends of the garden and looked at both sides of the street with their probes. Everyone's eyes were full of doubts and some worries!
"What happened? So many police cars, it sounds like they are coming to the church!"
"I don't know, nothing happened around! Maybe it was the police making a fuss. These guys have already become scared! A big thing can make a huge move!"
Amidst the discussion, two huge Bearcat armored vehicles rushed into everyone’s field of vision from east to west, and the FBI words on the body were very conspicuous!
Followed by more than a dozen Taurus police cars, all with the words FBI printed on their bodies.
That's not even counted. Two helicopters roared from the sky. It can be seen from the fuselage markings that one was an FBI police helicopter and the other was an interview helicopter of NBC TV.
After flying over the Old North Church, two helicopters hovered over a hundred meters high in the air. The roar of huge engines shocked everyone in the vicinity of the Old North Church.
In the direction of Hanover Street from west to east, a few police cars came at high speed, and the sirens were extremely harsh!
While these police cars were speeding, they signaled through loudspeakers to stop or change lanes along the way, causing Hanover Street to suddenly become chaotic.
When they drove more than 20 meters from the south entrance of the Rivera Garden, they all stopped, and a dozen wheels lay across the street, directly blocking the entire Hanover Street.
The other two streets near the Old North Church were the same, and they were quickly blocked by the police and the FBI.
Seeing everything that happened before me, the people inside and outside the Old North Church and the Rivera Garden were completely stupid, and fear began to breed in everyone's heart!
"squeak--!"
A harsh brake sound suddenly sounded.
The huge convoy from the east stopped at the south entrance of Rivera Garden, opposite the new church on the south side of the old north church.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of FBI agents in uniform swarmed out from police cars, many of them with anger on their faces, as if someone owed them three hundred bucks and had not paid them back!
In addition to the FBI agents in uniforms, a dozen fully armed FBI special police officers also emerged from the two Bearcat armored vehicles, their faces also very ugly.
In addition, in a few bulletproof SUVs a little further away, there were also a dozen heavily armed guys, carrying automatic rifles one by one, fierce and sturdy!
A group of guys carrying cameras and wearing the NBC TV logo appeared in people's eyes! Running towards the Rivera Garden!
What happened? How come I don't know how to make such a big move?
Everyone at the scene was at a loss. They didn't know the situation at all, but they were terrified!
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the FBI quickly gave an explanation.
"We are the FBI, come here to perform official duties, please understand and cooperate, don't be nervous, don't panic, and leave in an orderly line!"
Through the car amplifier, Joey's voice reached everyone's ears.
After hearing this explanation, the tourists and pedestrians at the scene were somewhat relieved.
It seems that there is no imminent danger, just leave as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, people no longer cared about admiring the famous National Historic Landmark in front of them, and turned around and left here.
After broadcasting two or three times in a row, Joseph and Joey got out of the command car and prepared to deploy the arrest operation.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw a group of people from David leading the Brave Fearless Exploration Company coming over, but Ye Tian and Matisse were absent!
After a moment of surprise, Joey immediately asked in surprise:
"David, where's the guy Steven? Why didn't he see him? His Paramount Predator is gone, what's the matter?"
There is nothing to hide, and David immediately told the truth.
"Steven has left. He is going to sneak into the underground palace from another secret tunnel, monitor Thompson at close range to prevent the old guy from suddenly going crazy, setting a time bomb or setting fire to destroy the evidence!
In addition, there are many deadly traps in the passage from the old North Church apartment building to the underground palace, which is very dangerous. He is going to lift it from the inside to avoid unnecessary casualties! "
Joseph and Joey were completely silly at this, and they were stunned.
After two or three seconds, the two woke up, and Joseph immediately said in annoyance:
"There is another secret way? The **** Steven didn't miss a word, so it's so hard for us to hide it! What a real bastard, too many eyes!
How many secrets does Steven this **** have? Can't it be said all at once? It is too torture to have to release it out little by little like squeezing toothpaste!
If you know that there are other secret paths, let's send someone to rush in from that secret path and have a urn to catch turtles, isn't it all solved? It would take so much trouble! "
You ask me, who shall I ask? I was also at a loss! God knows how many secrets Steven has!
David murmured to himself, but he said something else.
"Why didn't Steven tell everyone that there is a secret road? There must be his reason. Maybe it is because that secret road is very dangerous. In order to avoid casualties, he didn't tell everyone.
It could also be that he wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for Thompson, lest the old guy found that he was desperate, and ended up with a jade, and no one would want to see that kind of result.
Although Steven does not act with everyone, he will always keep in touch and inform each other of the situation to ensure the successful completion of the operation and uproot the Thompson gang!
From now on, all the people who belong to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company will be led by Matisse and I. If you have any issues with the FBI, you can contact us directly! "
Hearing this, what else can Joseph and Joey say, nothing to say!
"As long as we can smoothly solve this case, find those stolen top antique artworks, and dispose of these art thieves who have been in Boston for 20 or 30 years and committed numerous crimes!
As for Steven’s bastard, let him go! To be honest, I have been in the FBI for so many years and have handled countless cases. I really haven't seen a guy more difficult than him! Really served! "
Joey rolled his eyes and said, with a bitter smile on his face!
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone nodded in sympathy.
...
At the same time, the old north church cemetery is over there.
Matisse and Peter drove away in the Paramount Predator. Ye Tian walked into the depths of the cemetery alone, and disappeared behind the bushes in a blink of an eye.
This is the exclusive cemetery of the Old North Church. It is located on a small hill to the north of the church. It has a history as long as the church. It has been two or three hundred years. It is the oldest cemetery in Boston!
Those buried here are basically the clergy of the Old North Church, with a few exceptions, but they are somewhat related to the Old North Church.
After a long period of two to three hundred years, this exclusive cemetery has been fully buried and there is not much empty space left.
The shape of this cemetery is inverted L-shaped, with the main part on the west side. Entering from the east entrance, walking for more than 20 meters, passing through a forest, turn left to the main burial area.
There are several apartment buildings on the east and south sides of the main burial area, which happened to block the sight of Charter Street, providing a perfect cover for Ye Tian.
To the west is Hall Street. Go down this street and walk one or two hundred meters south to the north gate of the Old North Church.
After turning left and entering the main burial area on the west side of the cemetery, Ye Tian immediately quickened his pace and walked forward in a stride.
During the march, he whispered through the invisible headset:
"Kenny, I'm going to set up a pinhole camera, you are ready to receive the signal, and then immediately start monitoring, staring at everything that happened in the cemetery, and recording it all!"
With that, he quickly took out a fine-tuned pinhole camera and stuffed it into the gap of a big tree on the side of the road, facing the stone road he was on.
"Okay, Steven, the signal has been received, the picture is quite clear, the viewing angle is also very good, although you can rest assured, I will record everything that happened in the cemetery, no omissions!"
Kenny's voice came from the earphones, and he was very excited!
"Okay, remember what I just said, the monitoring screen here must not be leaked!"
Ye Tian exhorted again, and arranged another pinhole camera.
During the march, he quickly set up four or five pinhole cameras to fully monitor this area, and there were almost no dead spots for monitoring.
Moving forward more than 20 meters, Ye Tian came to an ancient tombstone.
This is the oldest tomb in the cemetery. From the text on the tombstone, it can be seen that the first priest who died after the completion of the Old North Church is buried here, and is the first resident of this cemetery.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the old North Church took a lot of effort to build this tomb. The entire tomb from the tombstone to the tomb is made of granite, which is very strong!
Although after hundreds of years of wind and rain, this tomb is still quite well preserved. The handwriting on the tombstone is legible, and the tomb is very complete, and there are not too many damaged places!
But Ye Tian knew very well in his heart that this tomb was a guise, a fake tomb specially constructed to cover up the secret passage leading to the underground palace of the Old North Church!
The bones in the sarcophagus in the tomb may not necessarily be the priest with the name engraved on the tombstone. God knows where the bones were found, and they are used to cover up the numbers and hide their eyes!
There is no doubt that this is a very cleverly conceived secret road exit, which is extremely difficult to be noticed. After two or three hundred, no one has found the underground palace, which is the best proof.
Last time Ye Tian walked from the underground palace along the secret road to here, and then looked through it, only to find that the exit was in a tomb, which surprised him a lot.
Because it was extremely secretive and it was almost impossible to be discovered, Thompson was very relieved and didn't do anything here.
There is no pinhole camera, no highly sensitive electronic sensors, and no deadly traps. Everything remains the same! This is undoubtedly the best disguise!
But it is a pity that you met buddies.
Under the perspective, everything is invisible!
Ye Tian chuckled, crouched down and hid a pinhole camera in the weeds at the corner of the tombstone. The location was very hidden and it was extremely difficult to be noticed.
Then he turned his head and looked around.
Except for himself, no one can be seen around. The sight of people in the apartment buildings on both sides is blocked by the tall trees in the cemetery, so there is no need to worry.
Besides, the attention of people in the apartment building was attracted by the continuous sirens of the Old North Church at this time. Who would pay attention to this cemetery!
After confirming his safety, Ye Tian walked two steps forward and walked around behind the tombstone, squatted down with his back to the tombstone, and reached out and pushed open the stone slab covering the tomb.
Under the stone slab, is a rectangular tomb, about five or six square meters, the space is not small!
In the middle of the tomb is a gray granite sarcophagus with religious patterns carved on it! It looks very simple!
That is the entrance to the secret passage~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which leads directly to the underground palace of the Old North Church!
After opening the tomb, Ye Tian did not enter immediately. The air inside needs to be convective. After all, it is a closed tomb for many years! Who knows what's in the air!
Taking this opportunity, he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put it on his hand, then gently jumped into the tomb and quickly restored the stone slab above his head to its original shape.
In an instant, he disappeared out of thin air from the cemetery, as if he had never appeared before, leaving no traces except for the pinhole cameras.
Kenny and Byrne, who saw this scene on the surveillance screen, couldn't help exclaiming frantically.
They didn't see Ye Tian pushing away the stone slab, they only saw him walk behind the tombstone, and then disappeared. Of course, they were shocked!
Two or three seconds after Ye Tian disappeared, Cook suddenly broke into the surveillance area of the pinhole camera with five of his men and appeared on the surveillance screen!
Seeing this scene, Kenny immediately reminded through an invisible headset:
"Steven, that **** Cook is stalking you. Take four or five people with you. Be safe!"
"Hahaha, just let them follow, I like these guys!"
Ye Tian said with a sneer, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
When the voice fell, he had put an outdoor headlamp on his head and turned on the switch.
The tomb, which was originally dark and invisible, immediately lit up.
Slightly adapting to the light, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward, pressed the front end of the gray sarcophagus with both hands, and pushed the heavy sarcophagus aside!
"Ka Ka Ka"
With a slight sound of the mechanism turning, the front end of the sarcophagus began to move slowly in a clockwise direction.
The next moment, a dark hole immediately appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes, and it became bigger and bigger!
