Chapter 652: Colombian with no eyes
"Gentlemen, please wait!"
Silva smiled and nodded, and then went to get the treasure map.
However, instead of going upstairs or entering any room, he left the living room and went straight to the small fountain in the center of the courtyard.
After reaching the edge of the fountain, Silva immediately squatted down, leaning forward and reaching into the water with his hands.
Obviously, the treasure map is hidden under the pebbles and sand in the fountain, or at the bottom of the water spray sculpture!
Seeing this action of him, Ye Tian was suddenly stunned.
No wonder I didn't see the light from the treasure map in the living room! It turned out to be hidden in the fountain, which was blocked by layers. This is indeed a very good hiding place! Be ingenious!
Russell and Matisse flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes, and they secretly gave a thumbs up. They were really cautious guys.
Soon, Silva pulled out a sealed box wrapped in layers from the bottom of the fountain and returned to the living room with it.
"Just kidding! The environment around me is so sinister, I have to hide this thing, lest it be discovered by the gangsters outside the door, and they will definitely be snatched away.
During this period of time when there was no one at home, there had been several uninvited guests. Fortunately, they did not find what they wanted, nor did they wreak havoc. They were very cautious.
However, through some small organs secretly arranged, I still found the traces of these people, so I contacted you secretly in the bar, hoping to get rid of these bastards.
From beginning to end, this thing has been hidden under the fountain. I didn't dare to take it out, let alone take it with me, otherwise it would never be preserved! "
Silva explained the situation while disassembling the sealed package, with a slight triumph in his tone.
"You are right to do this, the most dangerous places are often the safest!"
Ye Tian echoed and said, keeping his eyes on the box on the coffee table that was gradually revealing.
Although he has not seen the treasure map yet, through the dazzling red light emitted from the box, he is quite sure that this treasure map is indeed from the early 18th century and has a history of nearly 300 years.
As for whether the contents of the treasure map are related to the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess, you can only find out if you open the map and study it.
Several sealed bags wrapped outside were quickly removed, and a simple cherry wood box appeared in front of everyone.
When Silva took out the key and was about to open the small padlock on the box, Ye Tian suddenly remembered something, and pointed to the painting on the wall behind him and said:
"Silva, has the oil painting on the wall behind you been hanging there all the time? Just now you said that several groups of people had sneaked in here. Didn't they take anything?
That oil painting looks good! How could those guys let it go? I know this sentence, telling thieves not to go empty, since they have come in, they will always take something! "
What Ye Tian pointed at was the top art radiating dazzling orange light, a beautiful landscape oil painting.
It is a miracle that a top-level artwork is hung on the wall in such a magnificent manner, without any protection measures, and it has not been stolen by those gangsters!
This situation only illustrates two problems. Silva has eyes but no beads, and the Colombian gangsters have eyes but no beads! I don't know what a real baby is!
Fortunately, they have no eyes, so that this top art work has survived to the present and appeared in front of them.
Obviously, this is for the buddies! If you don't want to put it in your bag, who is it worth?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling fortunate in secret.
Hearing his words, Matisse and Russell immediately looked up at the oil painting.
Russell is just a crude person, who knows art, let alone oil painting! After a glance, he retracted his gaze and returned his attention to the box in front of him.
Matisse's performance was different, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
Although he couldn't see the value of that oil painting and didn't understand whose work it was, he knew very well that the oil painting was definitely valuable.
No other reason! Steven has always been targeted! When did you look past the eye?
Silva glanced back at the painting, then turned his head and said:
"You mean "Venice Scenery", yes, that classical oil painting has been hanging there for several years. It is my uncle's relic. He gave it to me after he died.
The oil painting should be quite old. As far as I can remember, it has been hung on the wall of my uncle's living room. I got it from there, and my uncle has never mentioned it.
After I got the oil painting, I asked someone to appraise it. The result was disappointing. The appraising expert told me that it was only the work of an unknown Italian painter and it was not worth a few dollars!
Because it is the uncle's relic, it has a certain commemorative significance, and the scenery on the painting is really good, so I hung it here as an ornament to decorate the living room! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately began to spit out frantically, and almost laughed angrily!
Unknown Italian painter? Not worth a lot of money?
Where is this **** appraisal expert who popped up? The brick family is pretty much the same!
When did Titian Vecellio, the greatest painter of the Venetian School of the Late Renaissance, become an unknown Italian painter? What an international joke!
If he is an unknown painter, there are probably not a few well-known painters in the world!
Is his painting worth a few dollars? What's more, it's a great joke in the world!
In addition to the three masters of Renaissance art, how many paintings of top art masters can be more valuable than his paintings?
Among other things, the "Europa Tribulation" at the Gardner Museum in Boston is priceless.
Vermeer's "Concert" and Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee", the sum of the two oil paintings may not be worth it! Those are all top oil paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars!
Colombians seem to be only suitable for growing coffee or selling cocaine. The distance from art is too far! This is the point where you have eyes and no beads! Simply sensational!
Silva continued to tell, not paying attention to the subtle changes in Ye Tian's mood.
"You're right, the thief doesn't go empty. Although the **** didn't take the oil painting by the unknown artist, they took the hundreds of dollars I deliberately hid behind the oil painting.
The second time I lost it was an emerald brooch from my wife. It was through these details that I found someone broke into the house and searched the house upright"
"What do you plan to do with this oil painting? Take it down and take it away? This thing is not easy to carry. The width and height are more than one meter. Even if it is installed in the painting tube, it is very conspicuous!"
Ye Tian looked at the oil painting on the wall and asked curiously.
He is ready to shoot! Since all of you guys are blind-eyed and treat priceless treasures as rubbish, why are you polite?
If you miss this heaven-sent opportunity, you will be struck by lightning!
"What else can I do? I have to throw it here, but not only this oil painting, but almost everything in this family, I have to discard it. Escape is the most important thing!"
Silva said sadly, and quickly looked around his home, and looked at everything at home.
Got it! A matter of course!
"What a shame to throw it away! I really like this oil painting. How about selling it to me? I plan to take it back to decorate my apartment and make the most of it!
The water city of Venice is very famous. I have always wanted to go there, but I can't spare the time. Now that I came across this oil painting depicting the Venice landscape, it would be a pity to miss it! "
Ye Tian looked at Silva with a smile on his face and said, his expression was quite calm and he couldn't see anything unusual.
But in his heart, he was very nervous at this time, looking forward to hearing the perfect answer.
For him, dreams can always come true! This time is no exception!
"Since you like this oil painting, just take it away, it's better than throwing it away! Just sell it, it's not worth a lot of money anyway!"
Silva answered very simply, without hesitation or thinking about other things.
Of course, if he knew that he was facing Ye Tian, that famous professional treasure hunter with a sharp vision, then it would be another matter!
At this time, he still had the mind to pay attention to a worthless oil painting. What he cared most was how to escape from Colombia with his family and start a new life!
Besides, there is a top art piece hidden in the ceiling above him!
As long as you take that top famous painting out of Colombia, a new life like heaven will appear in front of your family!
As for other things, what else can't be abandoned?
awesome! Take it! A worthwhile trip!
Ye Tian cheered secretly and almost jumped up excitedly.
Afterwards, he immediately suppressed the excitement, smiled and shook his head and said:
"Silva, I can't take this oil painting in vain, whether you are going to discard it or not, even if you pay $1~www.wuxiaspot.com~, I have to get this oil painting through a deal.
This is the industry rule! I can't break it. This oil painting looks pretty and I like it, so I decided to bid $500. Can you accept it? "
As he said, he took out his wallet, took out five Franklin and placed them in front of Silva.
Seeing his movements and firm eyes, what can Silva say.
"Okay, Jack, it was sold for $500, that "Venice Landscape" belongs to you"
Silva got up and shook hands with Ye Tian and concluded a deal.
After that, he put away the five hundred dollars on the table, even a little bit of joy in his eyes.
Get it done! Another big windfall!
Ye Tian cheered secretly, and his nose was so beautiful!
After calming down for a while, he immediately said to Matisse:
"Payton, go and take down the oil painting. Be careful when you roll it up. Don't fold it. Carry it when you roll it up. After we leave here, let's buy another painting tube."
"Ok, I know how to do it"
Matisse responded, got up and prepared to go to the oil painting, his eyes flashed with excitement.
At this moment, Silva suddenly interjected:
"You don't need to buy painting tubes. There are several painting tubes in the cabinet next to that oil painting. Pick one suitable for use."
As he said, he also pointed to the cabinet against the wall.
"Okay thank you!"
Matisse nodded in response, and walked towards the top oil painting.
Just as he took off the oil painting and began to remove the frame, Silva also opened the lock of the box on the coffee table, opened the box, and took out an old sheepskin map from the inside.
After that, he spread the map on the coffee table and showed it to everyone.
"Jack, please identify it, this is the treasure map you are looking for, it is genuine!"
