Chapter 413: The Secret in the Pirate's Treasure Map (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for Recommendation)
The journey was safe, and the convoy soon crossed half of Manhattan and arrived at Sotheby's.
After entering the underground garage, Sotheby's security personnel took the antiques to the lot warehouse, and Walker and Raymond followed, completing the final part of the escort mission.
Ye Tian took Matisse into the elevator, ready to go to the personal vault, and the rest of the people stayed in the underground garage, waiting for Ye Tian and them to come out, and then everyone left together.
In the descending elevator, Ye Tian said to Matisse:
"You'll wait outside the reservoir area later, I'll go in and get something, it won't be long."
Sotheby's personal vault has a high level of security, and customers who are not here are not allowed to enter the vault area, let alone a personal bodyguard like Mattis!
"Okay! I'll just wait outside!"
Mattis nodded in response, he understands the security measures of this type of vault, so naturally he has no objections.
As he spoke, the elevator went to the fourth basement floor.
After some routine inspection, Ye Tian entered the reservoir area alone.
This time, he didn't look through the vaults on the left and right sides to absorb the aura of the antique artworks inside, but walked straight to his vault.
As he opened the door to his sturdy personal vault and stepped in, he took advantage of the sideways opportunity to quickly scan the situation behind him with his peripheral vision.
No one is following, so you can operate with confidence!
In addition, he also looked through the surrounding environment, especially the ceiling at the door of the vault, to see if there was a pinhole camera to secretly take pictures of the situation inside the vault.
No one will know what you do next!
Everything is normal in the vault, and there are no traces of intrusion under the perspective, and the simple warning facilities I made are still intact!
After confirming this, Ye Tianfang stepped forward to open the two safes on the wall and took out the backpacks that were kept inside.
Both backpacks are filled with home accessories, such as photographs by Joel Meyerrowitz, as well as other objects that have considerable artistic and market value.
During the renovation of the security system, these things definitely could not be kept in the apartment, so they were kept here.
Now that the security system has been renovated, it is time for them to return to the apartment and continue to decorate their lives and those of Betty!
Ye Tian didn't open and check the two backpacks, but put them on the table next to him, when he did the perspective just now, he had already seen it clearly, there was no need to check it again!
Then, he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and took something out of his jacket pocket, carefully placed it in one of the safes, and closed the door of the safe.
It was General Sherman's marching notes, wrapped in two layers of vacuum-packed bags, and it was well preserved!
Ye Tian is going to keep this very precious historical material here, instead of the old-fashioned vault at home, so that it can hide people's eyes.
Regarding this marching notebook, the information he had previously revealed to the outside world must have been kept in the old-fashioned vault of the apartment, always in his sight.
This is in line with human nature, after all, he spent a lot of money to renovate the security of the apartment, making it the safest residence in New York, and the heavyweight antiques must be placed in the apartment, so that the renovation is not in vain!
But who would have thought that he would keep this marching notebook in Sotheby's personal vault, which is called a surprise and cunning rabbit!
After keeping the marching notes, Ye Tian immediately picked up his two backpacks, walked out of the vault, and left here.
He and Matisse soon returned to the underground garage, and Walker and Raymond happened to be back as well.
"Steven, the last batch of antiques has been successfully put into storage, and there are no problems!"
Walker walked over and said, his expression much lighter.
"Okay! Let's get out of here and go back to the apartment!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, his expression was very relaxed.
Afterwards, the group got into their cars and drove out of the Sotheby's underground garage and sped off toward 110th Street.
In about twenty minutes or so, everyone was back downstairs in the apartment.
After the car stopped, Ye Tian did not get out of the car immediately, but said through the intercom:
"Your security mission will end tomorrow, and now there's nothing to do, so you can go home, rest for a while, change your clothes, and get ready for dinner!
Let's bring your wives and children with you, if you want to save some private money, then it's best not to bring your wife, so as not to ask for trouble!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter on the intercom, and everyone was extremely excited.
The laughter died down slightly, and Matisse's voice followed.
"Steven, isn't it appropriate for us all to leave? or leave the two brothers here, and take care of your safety, just in case!"
"No, let's go back, this is New York, not Tennessee, and no one can launch a raid in broad daylight, and besides, I didn't give it for nothing!
Anyone who dares to burst into this apartment without my permission will pay a terrible price, even his life!
The police and FBI downstairs are not decorations, and they have a little bit of deterrence, so you don't have to worry about my safety at all, and there will be no accidents!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, every word was full of strong confidence.
Who can pose a threat to Steven?
Especially in the metropolis of New York, in his ultra-high-security apartment, it is almost impossible to threaten his safety!
Thinking of this, Mattis and the others suddenly had no worries.
Walker then drove the Paramount Marauder to the apartment garage, then got out of the car with Matisse and drove home in the Saab class.
Ye Tian carried two backpacks and went upstairs to return to the apartment.
......
After returning to the apartment for a short rest, Ye Tian immediately got busy.
He quickly cleaned up the living room and dining room, washed out the used coffee cups, and put the empty beer bottles in garbage bags, ready to be thrown outside in the trash bin.
Then I cleaned the floor with a vacuum cleaner, and found a soft cotton cloth to carefully wipe the surface of each piece of furniture, removing all fingerprints and other traces that did not belong here.
Then the ventilation equipment was turned on to dispel the clutter left by everyone in the apartment, so that the air here was fresh and pure again!
The remaining antique artworks in the living room, worth less than $100,000, were sent to the vault upstairs, where they were temporarily stored.
Back in the day, Jason would take these antiques in batches, sell them, and turn them into green dollars! That's a lot of money!
After a lot of hard work, the apartment was quickly restored to cleanliness, everything was in its place, orderly, and it was pleasant to look at, and even the air was a little sweet!
Next, it's time to furnish the apartment!
He opened the two backpacks he retrieved from Sotheby's and put the home accessories back in their place, allowing them to continue to decorate the top-of-the-line apartment and his and Betty's lives.
By the time I had done all this, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
Satisfied, admiring the fruits of his labor, Ye Tiancai walked into the master bedroom bathroom and began to wash!
Twenty minutes later, Ye Tian finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.
At this time, he was already relaxed, refreshed, and full of endless energy!
Then he went into the cloakroom to change his clothes, strolled into the study, sat down behind the desk, and began to play with some of the antiques on the table with great interest.
He put the Xuande furnace that he had found in corridor 127 before, as well as the pair of mutton fat jade mandarin duck handles, on the desk for ordinary play and appreciation.
In addition to these three Chinese antiques, there are several other knick-knacks on the table, all of which are very interesting antique artworks, both Chinese and European and American antiques.
After playing with it for a while, he put the Xuande furnace in his hand back on the desk, got up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, ready to take a book of antique art and art, and study it.
There are a lot of antique books on the shelves, almost filling the entire shelf, and there are books introducing all kinds of antique artworks, which are dazzling!
Most of these books were bought when he visited museums, and some of them were bought online to enrich his knowledge, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being able to only identify and not be able to speak!
If you show timidity as soon as you open your mouth, it will easily arouse the suspicion of others!
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!
However, before he could reach the bookshelf, he was attracted by a picture frame that glowed red on the wall next to him.
It was Gisler's pirate treasure map, and Ye Tiandu almost forgot about its existence.
When he saw this treasure map, he couldn't help but think of poor Guisler, the process of taking this treasure map, and the generous Costa Rican diplomat.
What sustains the diplomat's extravagant life? Even though Costa Rica is one of the wealthier countries in Latin America, the diplomat's salary seems to be far from enough, right?
Could it be that buddy has really discovered pirate treasure? It's not impossible!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately shifted his target, reached out and took off the treasure map photo frame, turned around and returned to the seat behind the desk, and began to study it carefully.
The surface of the treasure map does not need to be looked at at at all, it has been studied countless times, there are no secrets at all, and it is impossible to find the treasure with those lines.
If you can find treasure through those routes, it's 10,000 pirate treasures, which have already been found and looted by countless treasure hunters!
If this treasure map really hides a secret, pointing to a pirate treasure somewhere, then its route must be so ingenious and hidden that ordinary people will never find it!
Even this secret only exists in the original treasure map, and the rest of the numerous copies are simply a piece of waste paper, with no value!
After sitting down, Ye Tian immediately turned on the perspective and began to look at all the details inside and outside of this treasure map, trying to discover the surprising secret!
This time, unlike the perspective of the previous auction, there is no need to hide it at all, and you can use the perspective function to your heart's content.
The study is your own, and there is no one else next to it, so you don't have to worry about interference, and you don't have to worry about being seen as flawed, and this thing already belongs to you, so you can study it as much as you want!
If this treasure map really hides any secrets, it won't escape your eyes!
As far as the eye can see, at a glance!
In the blink of an eye, the sight has penetrated this pirate treasure map.
The lines drawn on the parchment, the veins inside the parchment, the rough back of the parchment, and the solid wood photo frame, etc., all the details are presented in Ye Tian's eyes, which is extremely clear!
At first, what he saw was the same as it had been at auction, a parchment map, a pirate treasure map that had been proven by countless people to be worthless!
However, he did not end the perspective there, but patiently continued to examine the famous pirate treasure map, carefully analyzing every detail.
Why did Ghisler spend 17 years on this treasure map? There must be a reason for him! The Governor of Cocos Island is not a stubborn fool, is he?
Taking 10,000 steps back, he also found 33 Spanish gold coins, indicating that this was not a forged treasure map.
Maybe it does hide a big secret!
About a minute or so, a soft cry suddenly came from the study!
"Hey, it's two kinds of handwriting!"
