Chapter 523: The Biggest Secret (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
"Bingo has finally been found!"
Ye Tian cheered in a low voice, and waved his fist lightly excitedly.
Fortunately, there is only a narrow passage on the west side of the small building, which is relatively secluded, and there is no one else except him, otherwise it will definitely be noticed by others.
Of course, if there were other people here and there were surveillance cameras, then he would not be so emotional, and it is precisely because he did not have it that he released his excitement a little.
At this time, he was standing in the center of the corridor on the west side of the small building, staring at the basement two meters in front of him, his eyes were extremely bright and shining!
The perspective exploration went very smoothly, and like the east side of the small building, the first and second floors on the west side were basically clergy rooms, and there were several reference rooms, so there were no surprises to find.
A few antique works of art were found, but they were of little value, basically owned by other clergymen, or the public property of the Old North Church, and it is estimated that Thompson would not look down on them at all!
Several basements were mostly reference rooms and storerooms, containing some documents and miscellaneous items, as well as two bedrooms for the young clergy, one of which belonged to Benjamin.
The guy was sitting on the couch at the moment, using his laptop to surf the Internet, very engaged! he didn't even notice the figure walking by through the ventilation window overhead.
In these basements, Ye Tian still didn't have any gains, he didn't find enough antique artworks, and he didn't see Thompson's shadow!
It wasn't until he reached the middle of the small building that he found his target.
Thompson's private studio!
From the outside of the small building, the ventilation window of this studio has been completely sealed, and there is only one vent for the ventilation equipment, so it is impossible to see the indoor situation through the glass, and the privacy is very high!
But it was not someone else who was standing outside the window, but Ye Tian! Whether the ventilation window was sealed or not had no effect on him at all!
On the contrary, this is only good for him, at least it blocks the sight of people in the room and reduces the chance of being discovered!
Stand still and open the perspective.
Ye Tian looked straight at this semi-underground personal studio!
In an instant, his vision penetrated the wall, and he could see the situation in this personal studio clearly!
A dazzling orange light suddenly appeared in Ye Tian's eyes without warning, and it was extremely beautiful!
Along with this orange light, there were more than ten or twenty layers of charming halo in his eyes, full of temptation!
Surprise reappeared! Ye Tian's face bloomed with a bright smile!
There is also an oil painting that is nearly 400 years old, and it is also a top work of art!
Seeing this beautiful orange light, as well as those charming and seductive halos, Ye Tian immediately cheered in a low voice and waved his fist in celebration.
After a brief celebration, he did not immediately look at the orange-glowing painting, but took in the private studio.
Don't be in a hurry to enjoy the painting, it's there, you can't go there, there will be time later!
The immediate priority now is to get to the bottom of the private studio as soon as possible and prepare for the next move.
This studio is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, which is the same as the previous basements, and the area is about the same, about 40 square meters.
The first thing Ye Tian saw was the outer room, which was larger, about thirty square meters, this was Thompson's studio, and it could be seen from the furnishings and layout inside.
At this time, Thompson was not in the outer studio, and should have stayed in the inner cabin.
The studio is brightly lit, illuminating the whole room as if it were daytime, although the light is very bright, but the light is not dazzling, it is relatively close to natural light, which is obviously a deliberate pursuit of the effect.
In the center of the studio are three log easels arranged in a triangular position, one of which has a near-finished oil painting, and the other two easels are empty!
In the center of the three easels is a high chair, and next to the chair is a white mobile workbench with brushes and paints for painting, among other things!
There is a wooden bookshelf against the wall of the doorway!
Most of the bookshelves are the materials necessary for painting, such as canvases, paints, painting knives, turpentine, various types of brushes, picture frames, acid-free paper, and wooden boards of various sizes.
In addition, there are several relatively small oil paintings on the shelves, arranged at the other end away from the painting material, stacked together, as many as four or five.
On the other side, against the wall, there are several oil paintings staggered, which are large in size and more than 50 centimeters in width, and 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, the other three walls are hung with oil paintings, adding up to seven or eight paintings!
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 effort to renovate it.
He installed a new ventilator for the studio, as well as air humidity monitors, humidifiers, and a cabinet air conditioner.
Obviously, Thompson has created a constant temperature and humidity environment with a humidity of 50% and 21 degrees Celsius to preserve those top artworks, which can be regarded as very careful!
In this relatively professional environment, the preservation of many oil paintings in the studio is quite intact, no worse than the treatment in the museum!
In this regard, Thompson's approach is commendable!
In addition to these, he has also put a lot of effort into the security of this studio.
He completely welded the two ventilation windows from the inside side, using a steel plate nearly one centimeter thick, leaving no gaps, airtight, and very strong!
In addition, he also installed pinhole cameras in the hidden position of the ventilation window, as well as a high-sensitivity electronic sensor, in case someone invades the studio through the ventilation window, which is very thoughtful!
Pinhole cameras are also installed on the ceiling and bookshelf in the studio, as well as on an inconspicuous oil painting leaning against the corner, to monitor the situation in the studio, and there are no dead ends!
Although Thompson did not replace the studio door, he did reinforce the interior of the room with thick steel plates, which greatly strengthened the sturdiness of the wooden door, which was not inferior to ordinary security doors.
And that's not all, the lock on the door has also been replaced, replaced with an electronic anti-theft lock, and from the inside of the room, there are three locks in the door, each lock is very strong.
The inside of the door is like this, and the situation outside the door can be imagined! The defense must be tighter and stronger! There are at least three door locks, and it is not easy to break through them all.
As for surveillance in the hallway, it's even more essential!
There is definitely a pinhole camera monitoring the door of the studio, and it will be difficult for anyone who wants to break into this studio to hide from Thompson's eyes!
To sneak in here without alerting him, the difficulty factor is too high!
Even Ye Tian couldn't help but gasp when he saw this kind of highly tight security!
"Awesome!
After secretly sighing to himself, Ye Tiancai shifted his gaze and began to explore the back room of the studio.
The line of sight penetrated the second wall, and the situation in the inner hut was clearly visible in an instant.
"Huh, what about that Thompson guy?
Ye Tian sighed lightly and looked at everything in the back room in a daze
There are not many oil paintings preserved in the back room, only a few, and they are not top-notch works of art, there is neither dazzling light nor a few layers of halo, they are all relatively recent and relatively mediocre paintings.
If nothing else, these paintings are supposed to be Thompson's practice and are of little value.
There's no such thing as a valuable antique, and it's not the warehouse you might expect to store your art!
And Thompson, who was supposed to stay in the back room, couldn't even see half a figure at this time!
However, the locked door of the studio, and the three unusually strong locks, made it abundantly clear that Thompson had never left this private studio, unless he knew how to penetrate the wall!
Of course, he can't penetrate walls! Otherwise, would he still need to be an international art thief?
There are secret rooms or secret passages in this studio!
Other than that, it's not possible!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy!
That's Thompson's biggest secret!
