"Bingo! I finally found it!"
Ye Tian cheered in a low voice and waved his fist lightly, very excited!
Fortunately, the west side of the small building is just a narrow aisle, relatively quiet and there is no one else except him, otherwise others will definitely find something wrong.
Of course, if there are other people and surveillance cameras here, then he would not be so emotional. It is precisely because there is no such thing that he releases a little excitement.
At this time, he was standing in the middle of the aisle on the west side of the small building, staring at the basement two meters obliquely in front of him, his eyes were extremely bright, straight shining!
The perspective exploration was very smooth. Like the east side of the small building, the first and second floors of the west side are basically clergy rooms, and there are several data rooms. There is nothing surprising to find.
A few antique works of art have been found, but none of them are of much value. They are basically owned by other clergy or public property of the Old North Church. It is estimated that Thompson would look down upon them!
The basements are mostly reference rooms and warehouses, which store some documents and miscellaneous items. There are also two bedrooms for young clergymen, one of which belongs to Benjamin.
That guy is sitting on the sofa, surfing the Internet with a laptop, very engaged! He didn't even notice the silhouettes of people walking outside the ventilation window above his head.
In these basements, Ye Tian still had nothing to gain, did not find enough antique artworks, nor did he see Thompson's shadow!
He didn't find the target until he reached the middle of the small building.
Thompson's private studio!
From the outside of the small building, the ventilation window of this studio has been completely sealed. There is only one vent for the ventilation device. It is impossible to see the indoor situation through the glass. The privacy is very high!
But it was not someone else who stood outside the window, but Ye Tian! Whether the ventilation window is sealed or not has no effect on him at all!
On the contrary, this is only good for him, but at least it blocks the sight of people in the room and reduces the chance of being discovered!
He standed still and turn on the perspective.
Ye Tian looked straight at this semi-underground personal studio! Start exploring the secrets hidden inside!
In a blink of an eye, his vision has penetrated the wall and he can see the situation in this personal studio clearly and at a glance!
A dazzling orange light suddenly appeared in Ye Tian's eyes without warning, it was extremely beautiful!
Accompanied by this orange light appearing in his eyes at the same time, there are more than 20 layers of charming halo, full of allure! It's heartbreaking!
Surprise again! A bright smile appeared on Ye Tian's face!
There is also an oil painting with a history of nearly 400 years and it is also a top art!
Seeing this beautiful orange light and those charming and alluring halos, Ye Tian immediately cheered in a low voice and celebrated with a fist.
After a brief celebration, he did not immediately see through the painting that radiated orange light, but looked at the situation in this private studio.
Don't worry about admiring the oil painting, it's right there, it won't be able to go away, there will be time later!
The top priority now is to find out the situation in this private studio as soon as possible and prepare for the action later.
This studio is divided into two rooms inside and outside. It has the same layout as the previous basements and the area is about 40 square meters.
The first thing Ye Tian saw was the outer room, which had a large area of about 30 square meters. This was Thompson's studio, as can be seen from the interior furnishings and layout.
At this time, Thompson was not in the outer studio and should be in the inner cabin.
The studio is brightly lit and the whole room is illuminated like daylight. Although the light is very bright, the light is not dazzling and it is relatively close to natural light. This is obviously an effect deliberately pursued.
In the center of the studio, there are three log easels placed in a triangular position. One of the easels has a nearly completed oil painting and the other two easels are empty!
There is a high chair in the center of the three easels and a white mobile workbench next to the chair, on which are placed the brushes and paints used for painting and other things!
A wooden bookshelf stands by the wall by the door! The size is not small and there are a lot of things on it!
Most of the bookshelves are made of materials that must be used for painting, such as canvas, paint, painting knife, turpentine, various types of brushes, picture frames, acid-free paper and wooden boards of different sizes.
In addition, there are several relatively small oil paintings on the bookshelf, placed on the other end away from the painting materials, stacked together, there are as many as four or five.
On the other side against the wall, there are several oil paintings staggered. The size is large and the width is basically more than 50 cm, which cannot be placed on the bookshelf.
This is not only a private studio, but also a small exhibition hall. Except for the wall where the wooden bookshelves are placed, oil paintings are hung on the other three walls, which adds up to seven or eight!
And from the other ancillary facilities in the room, it can be seen that Thompson attaches great importance to this personal studio and has spent a lot of energy to remodel it.
He installed a new set of ventilation equipment for this studio and also added an air humidity monitor, a humidifier and a cabinet air conditioner.
Obviously, Thompson has created a constant temperature and humidity environment with a humidity of 50% and 21 degrees Celsius here to preserve the top art works. It is very hard!
In this relatively professional environment, the preservation of many oil paintings in the painting room is quite intact, not worse than the treatment in the museum!
In this regard, Thompson's approach is still commendable!
In addition to these, he has also worked hard on the security of this studio.
He completely welded the two ventilation windows from the inside, using a steel plate nearly one centimeter thick, leaving no gaps, airtight and very strong!
And he also installed a pinhole camera and a high-sensitivity electronic sensor in a hidden position of the vent window to prevent someone from entering the studio through the vent window. The consideration was very thorough!
The ceiling and bookshelves in the painting room, as well as an inconspicuous oil painting leaning against the corner, are also equipped with pinhole cameras to monitor the situation in the painting room without any blind spots!
Although Thompson did not change the door of the studio, he used thick steel plates to reinforce it from the inside of the room, which greatly strengthened the firmness of this wooden door, which is no less inferior to general security doors.
This is not over yet, the lock on the door of the room has also been changed and replaced with an electronic anti-theft lock. From the inside of the room, there are three locks in the door, each of which is very strong.
This is the case inside the door and the situation outside the door can be imagined! It must be more tightly guarded and sturdy! There are at least three door locks and it is not easy to break through them all.
As for the monitoring in the corridor, it is even more essential!
There is definitely a pinhole camera monitoring the entrance of the studio, no matter who wants to break into this studio, he is afraid it will be difficult to hide of Thompson's eyes!
To sneak in here without disturbing him, the difficulty factor is too high!
Even Ye Tian, seeing this kind of highly rigorous security, couldn't help taking a breath!
"Awesome! He is so willing to pay for it!"
After sighing in secret, Ye Tian turned his attention away and began to explore the back room of the studio.
The line of sight penetrated the second wall and instantly saw the situation in the inner cabin clearly.
"Huh! Where's Thompson? Where in the world he gone?"
Ye Tian said softly, staring at everything in the back room dumbfounded.
There are not many oil paintings preserved in the back room, only a few and they are not top art works. They have neither dazzling light nor a few layers of halo. They are all relatively recent and relatively mediocre paintings.
Not surprisingly, these paintings should be Thompson's practiced handwork and they are of little value.
There is no valuable antique art here and it is not a warehouse for storing art as expected!
And Thompson, who was expected to stay in the back room, couldn't even see a half-person figure at this time! As if it had never appeared before!
However, the locked doors of the studio from the inside and the three large and unusually strong locks all clearly stated that Thompson never left this private studio unless he knew how to traverse the wall!
Of course he can't go through walls! Otherwise, do he still need to be an international art thief?
There are secret rooms or secret passages in this studio!
Apart from this, there is no other possibility!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy!
This is Thompson's biggest secret!
