Ye Tian looked at the signal scanned by the metal detector, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"This does look like a hidden compartment with a metal frame, placed inside this wall. According to my observation, this hidden compartment should not have a mechanism to open it. In other words, this is a dead compartment.
If this hidden compartment has a mechanism to open it, then it should have a conductive mechanism, but we did not find a metallic conductive mechanism in this wall, so it cannot be opened through the mechanism.
In this case, if we want to open this secret compartment, there is only one way, and that is to break the wall outside the secret compartment and see what is hidden in this secret compartment."
After hearing these words, everyone nodded and had no different opinions.
Only the curator of the Palazzo Venezia Museum pondered for a moment before speaking out:
"Stephen, what you said makes sense, but I still hope you will try not to damage this historical building. It has been preserved from the mid-fifteenth century to the present and deserves to be cherished by all of us!"
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then said with a smile:
"You are worrying too much, Paul. This historical building now belongs to me. I care about its integrity more than you do. I don't want to destroy every brick here. We will protect it as much as possible.
Although we have to break open the wall to see the hidden compartment hidden inside the wall, we will work along the gaps between the masonry and will basically not damage the wall.
What's more important is that the person who set up this metal secret grid has already made supports inside the wall. In this way, even if we break through the wall, no accidents will happen.
One more thing, we have done some research on the structure of this early Renaissance-style building and found that the wall in front of us is not a load-bearing wall. Even if it is completely knocked down, there will be no problem."
With that said, Ye Tian asked Zach to move the detection coil of the pulse metal detector and introduced the meaning of the relevant detection data to everyone present.
After hearing the introduction, the director of the Palazzo Venezia Museum nodded and said nothing more.
Next, Ye Tian asked Zach and the others to put down the pulse metal detector, pick up the handheld electric drill, and start the demolition work.
The next moment, the noise of a motor rotating at high speed sounded in the room, which sounded extremely harsh.
Soon, all the walls outside the target area were knocked down, exposing the masonry underneath.
Then, Zach and the others began to deal with the fillings between the gaps between the masonry, smashing the fillings one by one, and took them out from the gaps.
It took about fifteen minutes to complete the work, and there was a pile of garbage on the originally clean ground.
Zach turned off the handheld drill and stepped aside, looking expectantly at the ancient wall.
Ye Tian stepped forward again and carefully examined the completely exposed and mottled ancient wall.
After a moment, he suddenly raised the crowbar in his hand and inserted it into a gap at the top of the target area.
Immediately afterwards, he pressed the end of the crowbar hard and pried out the top red brick in the target area.
Then, 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 aside.
As he expected, the wall did not undergo any changes, nor did it collapse.
Seeing this scene, everyone present could not help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
After the first red brick was pried out, the remaining masonry was easy to dismantle.
In just a moment, nearly half of the target area that Ye Tian had marked out before had been demolished by him, and there was a pile of masonry materials on the floor.
Following his movements, everyone finally saw that there was indeed a secret compartment inside this wall, and it was a hidden compartment with a metal frame!
At the top of this secret grid are two long iron plates about 60 to 70 centimeters long and 5 to 6 centimeters thick. They are supported in the middle and at both ends by several iron bars about 4 to 5 centimeters in diameter. , supporting the masonry above.
Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly understood. No wonder this wall did not collapse even if it was broken from the middle. It turned out that there was indeed support inside and it was very strong.
The person who created this secret grid obviously planned carefully and took all unexpected situations into consideration.
While everyone was seeing the internal structure of the secret compartment clearly, they also saw the two objects placed in the secret compartment. They were two objects wrapped in black moisture-proof oilcloth, one large and one small, both square and square. Right.
The first time they saw these two square objects, everyone at the scene immediately guessed that the things wrapped in black moisture-proof oil cloth must be two oil paintings. The traces of the picture frames were too obvious!
The only thing I don’t know now is what are the contents of these two oil paintings, were they painted by artists in history, and how much are they worth? Is it a priceless piece of top-notch art?
When Ye Tian, who was demolishing the wall, saw the two picture frames wrapped in moisture-proof oilcloth, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and a look of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.
However, he took action again in a blink of an eye and continued to demolish the wall.
After a while, Ye Tian removed all the bricks and stones outside the secret compartment and piled a lot on the ground.
When Ye Tian took down the last stone, everyone looked at the bottom of the hidden grid, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
At the bottom of this secret compartment, there is a box, which is basically the size of a book and only about ten centimeters thick. It is also wrapped with a layer of moisture-proof oilcloth!
"Bang"
Ye Tian threw the stone in his hand on the ground and began to look at the box with interest. He took off the gloves he was wearing and put on a new pair of gloves.
Next, he pretended to observe the secret grid carefully, and then said with a smile:
"As I said before, this is a dead secret cell, and the mechanism is not turned on. It should be dug out secretly by someone who once lived in this building or in this room, and just used Come hide something!
The things this guy wants to hide are these two oil paintings wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper, and the box at the bottom of the hidden grid. I wonder whose works these two oil paintings are? What's in this box? ”
As he spoke, he reached into the secret compartment and took out the box at the bottom of the secret compartment.
After he took the box in his hand and made sure there was no danger, he began to carefully dismantle the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around the box.
With a few moments of effort, the black moisture-proof oilcloths were taken apart, and a delicate black walnut carved box was immediately revealed in front of everyone.
"Wow! This box is so beautiful!"
There was a sigh at the scene, but everyone was more concerned about what was in the box.
After taking the box in his hand, Ye Tian looked over it over and over before gently opening the top cover of the box.
What appeared in front of everyone was a yellowed notebook. Moreover, this notebook had been read countless times and had already been curled up!
On the cover of this notebook, there was a line written in Latin cursive, and a name. Unfortunately, Ye Tian didn't recognize it!
Ye Tian carefully looked at the cover of the notebook and the contents of the box, 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. There were traces of alterations everywhere on the diary, and the paper was very scrawled!
"Gentlemen, this is obviously someone's diary, and the guy who wrote the diary is probably the person who once lived in this building or in this room and secretly dug out this secret compartment.
In this private diary, there may be some unknown secrets recorded. Unfortunately, this diary is written in Latin. I don’t understand Latin. Bishop Kent, you can only interpret it! ”
With that said, Ye Tian took the box to Bishop Kent and asked him to interpret the contents of the diary in the box.
Bishop Kent did not refuse, and immediately began to look through the yellowed diary. Paul also knew Latin, so he came over to study it together.
After a while, Bishop Kent said solemnly:
"Stephen, this is a diary full of resentment. The person who wrote the diary was a Venetian named Philip in the mid-seventeenth century. He once lived in this room and was a member of the Republic of Venice. Embassy cleaner
In his diary, he expressed his deep hatred for the Ambassador of the Republic of Venice in Rome and his wife, and his envy and disgust for the ambassador and his wife's luxurious life. He called the ambassador's wife a **** and shamelessly had an affair with the ambassador's bodyguard.
But between the lines, he revealed an almost crazy obsession with the ambassador's wife, and he harbored a deep hatred for everyone in the Embassy of the Republic of Venice. This shows that he is a guy with an extremely twisted mentality! ..."
Before he finished speaking, Paul continued:
"Yes, this Venetian named Philip is indeed a guy with an extremely perverted mentality. Looking at his diary, I even have a creepy feeling. This kind of person is really terrifying!"
Not only Paul, but also everyone else at the scene could not help but shiver, with chills running down their backs!
