Chapter 1289 Exposed

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

In this regard, Chen Jiaju is quite confident.

The reason why Chen Jiaju is confident is that in addition to Zhang Pin supporting him with a batch of advanced equipment and Yang Jianhua's detailed intelligence support, more importantly, he is also very capable.

No, I am standing in a castle-style villa on the first floor that is nearly five meters high.

Chen Jiaju did not go to the second floor through the stairs, but came from the opposite direction. First he stepped on the table, then quickly stretched out his hands to grab the lamp hanging on the wall, and then with a hard pull, his body was hung on the wall. .

Then he stepped on the wall with both feet, and then repeated the same trick, reaching out and grabbing a decoration on the top. After two consecutive times, Chen Jiaju's feet were firmly planted on the corridor on the second floor.

This time, because he came in to steal something, Chen Jiaju rarely remembered the layout of the villa.

So after he made sure that there was no one on the second floor, he quickly walked through the corridor and came to the empty and tall study room.

But at this time, Chen Jiaju's good luck also ran out.

As soon as he entered the study, before he could take the next step, footsteps came from the corridor at the door.

"Clean the study quickly, Baron Martin is about to bring guests in."

When footsteps sounded, the staff's voices also came from the door.

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Jiaju couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.

Because according to Yang Jianhua's intelligence information, the animal heads and other shady collections collected by Baron Martin were hidden in the study.

However, although these study rooms are spacious, apart from various collections of books, there are only some decorations or calligraphy and paintings for the same collection. Naturally, it is inconvenient to hide in such an open place.

Now that there are people outside the door, Chen Jiaju is naturally in a dilemma.

Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Chen Jiaju ignored other thoughts and stepped directly on the table in the study room, then accelerated in three or two steps, and soon rushed to the wall.

Thanks to the rich collection of books in the study, and the fact that the floor height of the villa is much higher than that of ordinary houses.

Therefore, a wooden ladder is installed in the middle of the walls on both sides of the study.

The ladder was obviously used to facilitate the removal of books from higher levels.

After Chen Jiaju climbed up the ladder, he immediately lay down on the ladder, hoping to temporarily avoid the attention of the staff.

Just when Chen Jiaju lay down, the study door was pushed open, and then three or four staff members dressed as maids walked in.

They moved very quickly and began to clean and wipe the study floor, tables and chairs.

"Hey, why is there a footprint on this table?"

At this moment, a staff member responsible for cleaning the desk discovered something unusual.

On the table that Chen Jiaju stepped on just now, there was a dust rubbing, a very clear footprint.

Hearing the words of the staff below, Chen Jiaju's body, which was surrounded by a face towel, suddenly broke out in a heavy cold sweat. Then he quickly looked at his gloved hands and soles of his feet.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiaju was immediately shocked.

Because I don’t know when, his brand new night clothes had been stained with a lot of dust.

"Oops, it must have rubbed against the wall when I climbed up to the second floor."

Chen Jiaju immediately knew what the problem was.

This castle-shaped villa is very large, although Baron Martin hired a lot of staff to take care of the sanitation of the villa.

However, due to the height of the villa, the surrounding walls are very high, and it is difficult to clean them easily with ordinary tools.

In addition, these walls are not usually touched by anyone, so they are often cleaned only during general cleaning.

As a result, it is inevitable that some dust will accumulate in normal times.

Chen Jiaju was unlucky this time. No one had cleaned the wall for a while, so he was unfortunately caught.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiaju's heartbeat accelerated. Just when he was considering whether to run away directly or something else, the words of another staff member below made him feel lucky.

"Hurry up and clean up the dust. If the Baron knows that there is so much dust in the villa, we will all lose our jobs. Everyone, please check carefully to make sure there are no traces of dust left behind."

It turns out that Baron Martin has very high requirements for his staff on weekdays.

So now when these people see dust appearing in the room, their first reaction is not to think about the cause of the dust, but to immediately remove the traces.

"There are them on the ground too!"

"This table has it too!"

“It’s also on the walls”

"Oops, there won't be one in the middle attic."

Several staff members soon discovered dust from the doorways to the walls, and there was even concern that it was in the attic.

Then a staff member went around to the stairwell and prepared to go up the stairs to the middle ladder.

Chen Jiaju's heart almost jumped out of his throat at this time. He even half stood up and was about to jump down and escape.

"The Baron is here with his guests, get out quickly."

But just when he was halfway up, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature to Chen Jiaju sounded in his ears.

Then several staff members who were cleaning in the study quickly left, including of course the staff member who was about to climb up the middle ladder to check if there was any dust.

However, when several people left and closed the door of the study, Chen Jiaju did not breathe a sigh of relief.

Because several staff members just said clearly that Baron Martin would soon bring guests to the study.

Chen Jiaju is lying here now. If someone observes carefully, it will be easy to expose him.

So he quickly got up and observed the entire study.

He first ruled out the location under the study, because there was no place to hide except for a few desks and chairs.

So he could only focus on the wall of the study.

At this glance, Chen Jiaju's eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw a very large oil painting not far from him.

The content on it was nothing else but the Last Supper.

So Chen Jiaju first patted the dust on his body, then took out two suction tools, first tied them firmly to himself, then held the tools with both hands, pressed them directly on the wall, and then approached the oil painting.

After approaching the oil painting, he quickly pressed his body against the guy on the left, and then used the suction tools to tightly buckle his hands on the wall.

It must be said that because of the size of the oil painting, Chen Jiaju's entire body just overlapped with the person next to him.

In addition, he was located above the entrance to the study, so it was difficult for ordinary people to find him.

Click--

Just when Chen Jiaju had just hung himself on the wall, the door of the study was opened again.

Then Baron Martin walked in with someone.

"Miss Zhang, what I want you to study is a painting I recently bought."

Baron Martin walked in with a woman, and then while introducing his study, he pointed to a painting on the wall and said something.

Seeing Baron Martin and the woman next to him looking at one painting after another, Chen Jiaju's heartbeat became faster and faster, and cold sweat on his forehead and back never stopped.

Because according to the other party's behavior, he will soon see his painting.

And with his current disguise, the other party will definitely be able to find Chen Jiaju as long as he looks over.

Because he was too nervous about this situation, Chen Jiaju's physical energy consumption increased. As a result, he began to tremble while hanging on the wall.

And because he was sweating all the time, although the tights he wore had the function of absorbing sweat, as the sweat increased, Chen Jiaju's hands, which were originally wearing gloves, began to slip.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Chen Jiaju felt that his hands and feet were cold all over, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would be discovered.

He was not afraid of being discovered, but felt that it was a pity to be discovered now.

After all, he hadn't even got the beast head yet. If he was really discovered, he would naturally have to run away.

In this way, what he had vowed to Zhang Pin and Yang Jianhua before that he could handle became bragging, and Zhang Pin would still have to help him clean up his ass.

When Chen Jiaju thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the center of the painting of the Last Supper.

The guy standing in the middle was Jehovah, who was called God.

Chen Jiaju has always been a person who doesn't believe in so-called gods and ghosts, but this time, he began to hope that there really was a god or God in the world to help him through this disaster.

Just when Chen Jiaju began to try all kinds of methods, hope actually appeared.

"Baron Martin, is that the sunflower? Can I take it down and have a look? It doesn't seem to be an authentic work."

The woman who followed Baron Martin suddenly pointed to a painting hanging next to him.

"What, impossible, I spent 50 million US dollars to buy this, and it is definitely an authentic work of Da Vinci."

Hearing what Miss Yang said, Baron Martin suddenly became angry.

No wonder he reacted so strongly.

After all, this is a sunflower, and he paid 50 million US dollars.

Even though he is a nobleman and has assets worth billions, most of his assets are real estate. He spent 50 million US dollars to buy the sunflower in order to make a profit.

If it is confirmed that the painting is a fake, not only will his 50 million dollars go down the drain, but he will also lose face.

The most fundamental reason why Baron Martin can own such a large villa is of course because of his ancestors' legacy.

But in the same way, relying on the legacy of his ancestors, Baron Martin's current identity is an archaeologist.

It is precisely because of this identity that Baron Martin is an authority on cultural relics identification on weekdays.

Relying on this identity, he also works part-time as a cultural relic identification and transaction.

But if the news is revealed now that he, as an authority on cultural relics identification, bought a fake, then the authority that Baron Martin has maintained for most of his life will soon disappear.

Because of this, it is understandable that Baron Martin is so nervous.

"Let's take it out and observe it."

Seeing Baron Martin so nervous, Zhang Yao also became a little nervous.

As a scientific researcher, she certainly couldn't think as much as Baron Martin. The reason why she said this just now was just from a professional perspective.

But now Baron Martin was so nervous that she felt a little uncertain.

The two of them hurriedly took down the painting and left the study.

"Hoohoo--"

The next second the two of them left, Chen Jiaju took a deep breath, then let go of his hands and let himself hang on the wall. If the two of them had gone out a little later, Chen Jiaju might not have been able to hold on.

Originally, with his physical strength, he wouldn't be so weak.

But the problem was that he was a little overwhelmed by the previous situation. He was on the verge of being discovered several times, which made him very nervous.

As a result, the pressure is naturally full, so the consumption also skyrockets, leading to Chen Jiaju's final physical exhaustion.

When Chen Jiaju let go, he actually made a little move, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.

After taking a few long breaths, he grabbed the straps again and climbed up the wall.

After Chen Jiaju rearranged himself, he climbed the stairs in the middle of the study.

What happened next became simpler.

Baron Martin's study is so large that it actually has a darkroom installed.

Chen Jiaju easily cracked the darkroom's mechanism and found the two animal heads hidden inside.

In fact, in addition to the animal heads, there are many other shady cultural relics in the darkroom.

But Chen Jiaju is an honest person after all. He came here just to get back the animal head, so he didn't touch other cultural relics.

"I got the things, and I'm ready to come out now. There won't be any problems outside."

After getting the things, Chen Jiaju was very happy. Although there were some twists and turns in this operation, at least the goal was achieved.

So Chen Jiaju took the initiative to turn on the headset and contacted Yang Jianhua.

"I'll wait for you on the road."

Yang Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Jiaju's words.

But just after Chen Jiaju got the animal head, he suddenly felt a little carried away. While talking to Yang Jianhua on the phone, he walked out of the study directly.

"Who are you?"

Baron Martin looked in shock at Chen Jiaju, who was wearing tights and carrying two bags on his back, walking out of his study.

Chen Jiaju froze on the spot, and then saw Baron Martin and Zhang Yao sitting on the table at the door of the study, observing the oil paintings.

"Oops, I've been discovered!"

Chen Jiaju only had time to remind Yang Jianhua, and then walked directly to the stairs in a few steps. Then he did not take the stairs, but sat on the guardrail next to the stairs and slid down directly.

"Come quickly! There's a thief!"

Baron Martin shouted when he saw Chen Jiaju running away.

"Miss Zhang, please go back first, I have other things to do here!"

Then his reaction was different from that of ordinary people when they encounter a thief. He was not so panicked. On the contrary, he rolled his eyes a few times, rolled up the oil painting on the table that was basically confirmed to be a fake, and handed it over directly. Zhang Yao's hand.

"You can also take this oil painting back for me and ask your teacher to help me identify it."
