Kapitel 536: Chapter 536: All my Wealth
The perspective is quickly over, the process is very short.
To be on the safe side and leave no flaws, Ye Tian didn't touch any firearms or any boxes, so as not to be found suspicious by the old Thompson guys.
Not every crates here were filled with firearms. He also found dozens of empty boxes with nothing inside.
All the rifles in the box have disappeared. The ones that have disappeared are the Pennsylvania Rifles and the French Charleville muskets, which add up to dozens of them!
Judging from the traces left behind, these burst rifles did not disappear in the eighteenth century, but only disappeared from here in recent decades!
Obviously, these firearms must have been taken out of here by Thompson and flowed to the antique market.
Even thirty years ago, these brand new 18th century guns were worth a lot of money! Perhaps this is the initial source of funding for Thompson and Andrew to play art crime.
After finishing the perpective, Ye Tian immediately took out his mobile phone and took pictures of all the crates and the text messages on the boxes and kept them as video evidence!
Then, he turned around and left here!
He was very cautious when he left, concealing his footprints in front of the pile of crates, leaving nothing suspicious.
Matisse and the others have been watching his actions on the surveillance screen, but they didn't bother.
Until he left the crates, Matisse couldn't wait to ask:
"Steven, tell me what you saw, what was in those long boxes? Are they antique firearms? How much is it worth?"
"That's right, they are all antique firearms and they are brand new antique firearms. There are Pennsylvania Rifles and improved French Charleville muskets, which add up to hundreds of thousands!
The original owner of these guns was the 'Sons of Liberty Association'. They ordered them in Pennsylvania in 1783, but that was before and now these guns should be regarded as unowned antique guns.
In future negotiations with the FBI, this batch of antique firearms is also our target. Regardless of the low unit price of these antique firearms, the total number adds up to a considerable number.
If sold separately, this batch of antique guns should be sold for 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars, there should be no problem, but if they appear on the market in large quantities, I am afraid they will not sell that much! After all, things are rare!
As long as the source is legal, these antique firearms should be handled well and they are very popular. Antique firearms collectors, major Hollywood film companies, museums, etc. are all ideal for sale."
Ye Tian quickly explained a few words and didn't hide anything.
"Wow! The antique guns are so valuable. This is indeed a windfall! One thing I don't understand too much, why didn't Thompson sell these antique guns?"
Mattis asked curiously and the other guys were equally curious.
"It's not difficult to understand. Thompson is a pastor. If a large number of new and valuable antique firearms suddenly appear in his hand, it will definitely attract attention! These may include the police and the Internal Revenue Service!
He has too many secrets, I am afraid he is the last person in the world who wants to attract outside attention! That's why he dared not take the idea of these antique firearms, or dare not sell these antique firearms in large quantities.
For him, selling these antique firearms in one or two or three or five pieces is a high risk and it cannot satisfy his already crazy appetite. It can't compare with the money to sell top art!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, the facts should not be far from his guess.
"That's right. With Thompson's greed, I think he would dismiss these antique firearms at all!"
Matisse's voice came again, his tone somewhat sour.
Next, Ye Tian began to check the four darkened rooms.
The doors to these rooms are locked, using modern padlocks, apparently by Thompson.
And these rooms have not been opened for a long time and the padlocks are covered with dust.
Ye Tian didn't try to open these padlocks and walked into the room to check the situation. It would inevitably leave obvious traces, which was noticed by the old Thompson guy.
He controlled the Beetle drone to take off again, followed the crack of the door and flew into the first room on the west side and began to investigate the situation inside.
Under the night vision camera, the situation in the room is immediately reflected on the monitoring screen and the picture is very clear!
There are a lot of boxes of 50/40/30 cm specifications in this room. It is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of them and they almost fill up all the space!
More importantly, these are all ammunition boxes and anyone with a discerning eye will know it by looking at the appearance of the box!
The moment when he saw these boxes, Ye Tian's heart immediately tightened and a chill appeared in the back of his spine.
Don't have black powder inside, right? If so, it would be too dangerous!
With so many boxes of black powder piled together, what if he accidentally cause a spark, the Old North Church will not be able to fly to the sky? He is afraid that half of Boston's old town will collapse!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately opened the perspective and looked at the dark room that seemed to be gestating death.
The line of sight instantly penetrated the door panel and the black shell of the ammunition box, clearly seeing the situation in these boxes, without any omission!
What appeared in his eyes was not the frightening black powder, but small round lead bullets.
All the boxes are filled with lead bullets, the quantity is so huge that it is impossible to count them!
Fortunately!
Ye Tian took a deep breath! His heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
It seems that the guys who stored the ammunition were not stupid, knowing that they can't put the black powder here, it is tantamount to putting yourself on the crater of the volcano.
While looking through these ammunition boxes, Ye Tian also quickly inspected the entire room, mainly the ground and walls.
This is a warehouse. There are no surprises, no valuable antique artworks, no secret rooms and no secret passages to other places.
The exploration soon ended and Ye Tian immediately turned to the second room on the west side.
Empty! Nothing!
Except for a few tattered bags thrown on the ground, there was nothing else in this two- to three-hundred-square-meter room.
But it was those broken bags that revealed the purpose of this room.
This is a grain warehouse, which should be used to store military rations, but the rations have been moved away and the place is completely empty. The empty ones can starve mice!
Ye Tian also looked through the ground and walls in this room, but still didn't find nothing!
Next is the third room on the west side!
This is a military uniform warehouse. There are a large number of 18th century military uniforms in it. Both British and American military uniforms are available. Most of them are in bad condition and few good ones are left.
However, it is not all tattered here. The metal fittings on the two kinds of military uniforms are completely preserved. Some of the military uniforms are still relatively rare and worth a little bit of money.
In addition, some military caps are in good condition and can also be sold in the antique market.
Apart from these, there is no other discovery.
Like the previous rooms, there are no secret passages and no secret rooms here!
After exploring the three rooms on the west side of the hall, Ye Tian retracted the Beetle drone, finished the perspective and turned and walked towards the east side of the hall.
When he came here, the first thing he explored was the room with the dark lights and the locked doors.
This is a sundries warehouse, where saddles, reins, military flags and other sundries are placed, most of which are almost damaged and unusable!
But in this room, Ye Tian had a surprising discovery.
Under perspective, he found a batch of standard cavalry swords in the room.
There are more than sixty cavalry swords in this batch, all of which come from France in the 18th century. They are of good quality! Extremely sharp!
During the War of Independence, the American cavalry had no real cavalry swords. It was not until the Civil War that they were equipped with the first batch of real cavalry swords, the 1833-style cavalry swords.
Because of this, the batch of French cavalry swords in front of him are particularly precious. Their appearance may rewrite certain historical details of the War of Independence!
In addition to the cavalry swords, there are more than 20 officer swords here, all of which are from the 18th century. The officers' swords of the three armies of the United States, Britain and France.
The quality of these officers' swords is very good and some of them are even exquisite ones, which are rare in the market.
The swords in the room are all new products, they have never been used and they have all been treated with rust prevention. They are wrapped in tarpaulins and are in a box, in good condition, almost the same as new ones.
All these swords are quite good antique weapons and they are expensive. If he compare them separately, these cold weapons are more expensive than the previous rifles!
Of course, it is simply incomparable with top antique works of art!
Like the previous guns, there are many empty boxes here.
Upon seeing these empty boxes, Ye Tian immediately understood what was going on.
Thompson must have taken away a lot of cavalry swords and officer swords from here and quietly sold those antique cold weapons on the antique market.
As for the money from the sale, naturally all went into his pocket, or used to build his international art crime group!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart!
This is the wealth of him! It was looted by old gangster Thompson! It is simply intolerable or unbearable!
"Old fellow, you wait for me! The day to settle accounts will come soon!"
In addition, Ye Tian also found two ventilation holes and an underground secret passage in this room.
This secret path is hidden behind the wall facing the door and the control mechanism is under a floor tile in the corner. Just lift the floor tile and pull the iron chain hidden below to open this secret path!
However, he could not enter the room, the entrance of the secret passage was blocked by a pile of boxes and the drone could not fly in to investigate the situation inside.
Therefore, Ye Tian has no way of knowing where this secret path leads to, so he can only watch it!
Even so, this discovery made him very happy!
This underground palace should have more than two entrances and exits and there is probably a third or even fourth secret passage.
If he find these secret passages, he may be able to enter this underground palace from other secret passages without passing through Thompson's personal studio.
That is undoubtedly safer and more convenient!
If Thompson didn't know the existence of the other secret paths, it would be even more perfect! After that, he can freely enter and exit this underground palace, come and go as he like!
After scanning the room again and confirming that there were no omissions, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.
The Beetle drone also flew out of the room, ending the task of shooting video.
Then, Ye Tian turned around and walked to the second room on the east side.
This is a room remodeled by the old Thompson, with lights on. It is estimated that it is either a studio or a warehouse where top antique artworks are hidden.
Just as Ye Tian was walking towards this room, Matisse's voice came from the headphones again and he was very excited.
"Steven, are there any surprises in the previous four rooms? Let's talk about it! We all want to know"
"The drone did capture a lot of things, but they were all boxes, including military uniforms, lead bullets and swords and many other debris.
It is a pity that there is no way of knowing whether there is anything in the box for the time being. If there is, it is also a great fortune. If there is not, it will be nothing but joy!
But it doesn't matter. Those rooms are not important. The last two rooms are important. This is the main goal of us. The answer is about to be revealed. Let's look forward to miracles!"
Ye Tian said quickly with a smile, eyes full of expectation and extremely bright!
"We have long been eager to see through and can't wait, hurry up and reveal the answer, I believe there must be a huge surprise in these two rooms!"
Matisse said excitedly, her voice trembling a little!
The same goes for the other guys, all clenched their fists, staring at the monitoring screen nervously and excitedly, staring at Ye Tian's actions, his eyelids are reluctant to blink!
While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked to the door of the second room on the east side of the hall.
The door of the room is not locked, it is just hung with a lock and the door can be opened by removing the lock.
He did not immediately stretch out his hand to open the treasure door, but secretly opened the perspective and quickly looked through the door up, down, left and right.
There is no danger, no automatic alarm device, only a pinhole camera, can be opened with confidence and the treasure is behind this gate.
"call!"
Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a bit.
Then, he took a firm step forward, ready to open the door of this treasure!
