"Treasure Hunt Worldwide ( to find the latest chapters!
Ye Tian looked at the signal scanned by the metal detector, thought for a while, and then smiled and said:
"This is indeed like a hidden grid with a metal frame, which was placed in this wall. According to my observation, there should be no opening mechanism for this hidden grid. In other words, it is a dead hidden grid.
If this hidden grid has an opening mechanism, then it should have a transmission mechanism, but we have not found a metallic transmission mechanism in this wall, and it cannot be opened by the mechanism.
Under such circumstances, we have only one way to open this hidden grid, and that is to break open the wall outside this hidden grid to see what is hidden in this hidden grid."
Hearing these words, everyone nodded and had no different opinions.
Only the curator of the Venetian Palace Museum, pondered for a moment, then said:
"Steven, what you said is very reasonable, but I still hope that you will not destroy this historic building as much as possible. It has been preserved from the mid-fifteenth century to the present, and it is worth cherishing for all of us!"
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and said:
"You worry too much, Paul, this historic building belongs to me now. I care more about its integrity than you. I don't want to destroy the bricks and tiles here. We will protect it as much as possible.
Although we have to break through this wall to see the hidden compartment hidden in the wall, we will work along the cracks in the masonry and will basically not damage this wall.
More importantly, the person who installed this metal concealed grid has already made a support inside the wall, so that even if we break this wall, no accidents will happen.
Another point is that we have done some research on the structure of this early Renaissance style building. The wall in front of us is not a load-bearing wall. Even if we knock it all down, there is no problem."
Having said that, Ye Tian asked Zac to move the probe of the pulse metal detector and introduced the meaning of the relevant detection data to the people on the scene.
After listening to the introduction, the curator of the Venetian Palace Museum nodded and said nothing.
Next, Ye Tian asked Zac and the others to put down the pulse metal detector, picked up the hand-held electric drill, and started the demolition operation.
The next moment, there was a high-speed motor noise in this room, which sounded abnormally harsh.
Soon, all the wall coverings outside the target area were knocked out, exposing the masonry under the wall coverings.
Afterwards, Zach and the others began to deal with the fillings in the cracks between the bricks and stones, smashing the fillings one by one, and pulling them out from the cracks.
It took about fifteen minutes for this work to be completed, and there was a pile of **** on the clean ground that had been cleaned up.
Zach closed his handheld electric drill, then stepped aside, looking expectantly at this ancient wall.
Ye Tian stepped forward again, carefully examining this completely exposed and mottled ancient wall.
After a while, he suddenly raised the crowbar in his hand and inserted it into the top gap of the target area.
Immediately after that, he pressed the end of the crowbar hard, and directly pried out the top red brick in the target area.
After that, he stretched out his other hand, grabbed the red brick, carefully pulled the red brick out of the wall, and handed it to Zach who was standing on the side.
As he expected, the wall did not undergo any abnormal changes, let alone collapsed.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the scene couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
After the first red brick was pried out, the remaining bricks were easily removed.
In just a few moments, he had already demolished nearly half of the target area that Ye Tian had delineated before, and there was a pile of masonry on the floor.
Following his actions, everyone finally saw that there was indeed a hidden grid inside this wall, and it was a hidden grid with a metal frame!
At the top of this hidden grid are two long iron plates about sixty to seventy centimeters long and five to six centimeters thick. Several iron bars with a diameter of about four to five centimeters are supported in the middle and at both ends. The masonry above.
Seeing this scene, everyone was suddenly stunned. No wonder this wall broke open from the middle and did not collapse. It turned out that there was support inside and it was very strong.
The person who created this secret grid was obviously deliberate and took all unexpected circumstances into consideration.
While seeing the internal structure of this hidden grid clearly, everyone also saw two things placed in the hidden grid. They were two objects wrapped in black moisture-proof tarpaulin, one large and one small, all square.
The first time they saw these two square objects, everyone on the scene guessed in an instant that the thing wrapped in the black moisture-proof oil cloth must be two oil paintings. The traces of the frame are too obvious!
The only thing I don’t know now is what are the contents of these two oil paintings, which were created by the artist in history, and how valuable? Is it a priceless top art?
Ye Tian, who was demolishing the wall, couldn't help but pause when he saw the two picture frames wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, and a surprise flashed quickly under his eyes.
However, he took action again in a blink of an eye and continued to tear down the wall.
Within a short while, all the bricks and stones outside this hidden grid were torn down by Ye Tian and piled up on the ground.
When Ye Tian took the last stone, everyone looked at the bottom of this hidden grid, and everyone was curious.
At the bottom of this concealed cell, there is a box, which is basically the size of a book, but about ten centimeters thick, and is also wrapped with a layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin!
"boom"
Ye Tian threw the stones in his hand on the ground, and started to look at the box with interest, took off the gloves he was wearing, and put on a new pair of gloves.
Next, he pretended to observe this secret grid carefully, and then said with a smile:
"Like what I said before, this is a dead secret grid, and it doesn't open any mechanism. It should have been dug out by someone who has lived in this building or in this room. It is only used to hide things. !
The thing this guy wants to hide is these two oil paintings wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper, and the box at the bottom of the dark grid. I wonder whose work these two oil paintings are? What's in this box? "
With that said, he reached out into this secret compartment and took out the box at the bottom of the secret compartment.
After he held the box in his hand and made sure that there was no danger, he began to carefully disassemble the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped outside the box.
After two or two efforts, the black moisture-proof tarpaulin was taken apart, and an exquisite black walnut carved box was immediately presented to everyone.
"Wow! This box is so beautiful!"
There was a soft sigh at the scene, but everyone was more concerned about what was in the box.
After holding the box in his hand, Ye Tian checked it over and over, and then gently opened the lid of the box.
What appeared in front of everyone was a yellowed notebook, and this notebook had been read countless times, and it was already curled!
And on the cover of this notebook, there is a line written in swash Latin, and there is a name, but Ye Tian doesn't know it!
Ye Tian took a close look at the cover of the notebook and the situation inside the box, and then reached out and gently opened the cover of the notebook.
What appeared in front of him was a diary written in Latin, and the guy who wrote the diary was of limited skill. The diary was full of traces of alteration, and the paper was very scribbled!
"Gentlemen This is obviously someone’s diary, and the guy who writes the diary is probably the one who lived in this building or in this room and dug out this secret compartment. people.
In this private diary, there may be some unknown secrets recorded, but unfortunately this diary is written in Lading. I don’t understand Latin, the bishop of Kent, you can only interpret it! "
With that, Ye Tian took the box and came to the Bishop of Kent, asking him to interpret the contents of the diary in the box.
The Bishop of Kent did not decline, and immediately began to look through the yellowed diary. Paul also understood Latin, so he came to study together.
After a while, the bishop of Kent said solemnly:
"Steven, this is a diary full of resentment. The person who wrote the diary was a Venetian in the mid-seventeenth century. His name was Philip. He used to live in this room and belonged to the Embassy of the Republic of Venice. Cleaners.
In the diary, he expressed his deep hatred of the ambassador and his wife of the Republic of Venice in Rome, and his envy and disgust at the drunken life of the ambassador and his wife. He called the ambassador's wife a **** and shamelessly cheated on the ambassador's guard.
But between the lines, he revealed his almost crazy fascination with the ambassador's wife. He had a deep hatred for everyone in the embassy of the Republic of Venice, which shows that this is a guy with extremely distorted psychology! ..."
Before he finished his words, Paul said:
"Yes, this Venetian named Philip is indeed an extremely psychopathic guy. Looking at his diary, I even have a creepy feeling. This kind of person is really terrible!"
Not only Paul, but also other people on the scene, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and their backs were cold!
