Ye Tian looked at the signal scanned by the metal detector, thought for a while, and then smiled and said:

"This indeed looks like a metal-framed secret compartment, which was placed in this wall. According to my observation, this secret compartment should not have a mechanism to open it. In other words, this is a dead secret compartment.

If this hidden compartment has an opening mechanism, then it should have a conduction mechanism, but we have not found a metal conduction mechanism in this wall, so it cannot be opened through the mechanism.

Under such circumstances, there is only one way for us to open this hidden secret compartment, and that is to break through the wall outside this secret compartment and see what is hidden in this secret compartment."

Hearing these words, everyone nodded without disagreeing.

Only the curator of the Palazzo Venezia Museum pondered for a moment before saying:

"Steven, what you said is very reasonable, but I still hope that you will try not to destroy this historical building as much as possible. It has been preserved from the mid-fifteenth century to the present, and it is worth cherishing by all of us!"

Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then said with a smile:

"You don't worry too much, Paul, this historic building belongs to me now, I care more about its integrity than you, I don't want to destroy every brick and tile here, we will protect it as much as possible.

Although we have to break through the wall to see the hidden compartment hidden in the wall, we will work along the cracks in the masonry and basically will not damage the wall.

More importantly, the person who set up this metal hidden compartment has already prepared support in the wall, so that even if we break through the wall, there will be no accidents.

Another point is that we have done some research on the structure of this early Renaissance-style building, and the wall in front of us is not a load-bearing wall, even if it is completely knocked down, there will be no problem.”

With that said, Ye Tian asked Zac to move the detection coil of the pulse metal detector, and introduced the meaning of the relevant detection data to everyone present.

After listening to the introduction, the curator of the Palazzo Venezia Museum nodded without saying anything.

Next, Ye Tian asked Zac and the others to put down the pulse metal detector, pick up the hand-held electric drill, and start the demolition operation.

The next moment, there was a burst of high-speed motor noise in the room, which sounded extremely harsh.

Soon, the wall skin outside the target area was completely knocked off, exposing the masonry under the wall skin.

Afterwards, Zack and the others began to deal with the fillers between the gaps of the masonry, smashed the fillers one by one, and pulled them out from those gaps.

It took about fifteen minutes to complete the work, and there was a pile of rubbish on the ground that had been cleaned up.

Zach turned off the handheld drill and stepped back, looking expectantly at the ancient wall.

Ye Tian stepped forward again, carefully inspecting the completely exposed and mottled ancient wall.

After a while, he suddenly raised the crowbar in his hand and inserted it into a gap at the top of the target area.

Immediately afterwards, he pressed the end of the crowbar hard, and directly pried out the top red brick in the target area.

Then, he stretched out his other hand, grabbed the red brick, carefully pulled the red brick out of the wall, and handed it to Zach who was standing aside.

As he expected, the wall did not undergo any changes, nor did it collapse.

Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

After the first red brick was pried out, the remaining bricks were easily removed.

In just a few moments, the target area marked out by Ye Tian had already been demolished by nearly half, and there was a pile of bricks and stones on the floor.

Following his movements, everyone finally saw that there was indeed a secret hidden compartment inside the wall, and it was a hidden compartment with a metal frame!

At the top of this dark grid,

It is two long iron plates about sixty to seventy centimeters long and five or six centimeters thick, with several iron rods about four or five centimeters in diameter supported in the middle and at both ends to support the bricks and stones above.

Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the wall does not collapse when it is broken from the middle. It turns out that there is indeed support inside, and it is very strong.

The person who made this hidden compartment obviously thought carefully and took all unexpected situations into consideration.

While seeing the internal structure of the dark compartment clearly, everyone also saw two things placed in the dark compartment. They were two objects wrapped in black moisture-proof tarpaulin, one large and one small, both square.

The moment they saw these two square objects, everyone at the scene immediately guessed that the things wrapped in black moisture-proof tarpaulin must be two oil paintings, and the traces of the frames were too obvious!

The only thing I don't know now is what are the contents of these two oil paintings, which artist in history is from them, and how much are they worth? Is it a priceless top artwork?

Ye Tian, ​​who was tearing down the wall, saw the two picture frames wrapped in tarpaulin, he couldn't help pausing his hands, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, he acted again in a blink of an eye and continued to tear down the wall.

After a while, Ye Tian removed all the bricks and stones outside the hidden compartment, and piled them up on the ground.

When Ye Tian took down the last stone, everyone looked towards the bottom of the hidden grid, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

At the bottom of this hidden compartment, there is a box, which is roughly the size of a book, no more than ten centimeters thick, and it is also wrapped with a layer of moisture-proof oilcloth!

"boom"

Ye Tian threw the stone in his hand on the ground, and began to look at the box with great interest, and took off the gloves he was wearing, and put on a new pair of gloves.

Next, he pretended to observe the hidden space seriously, and then said with a smile:

"As I said before, this is a dead space, and the mechanism has not been opened. It should be dug out secretly by someone who once lived in this building or in this room. It is just used to hide things. !

What this guy wants to hide are these two oil paintings wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper, and the box at the bottom of the hidden compartment. Whose works are these two oil paintings? What's in this box? "

As he spoke, he reached into the secret compartment and took out the box at the bottom of the secret compartment.

After he took the box in his hand and made sure there was no danger, he began to carefully disassemble the tarpaulin wrapped outside the box.

After three or two strokes, those black moisture-proof tarpaulins were taken apart, and a delicate black walnut carved box was presented in front of everyone.

"Wow! This box is so beautiful!"

There was a sigh at the scene, but everyone was more concerned about what was in the box.

After holding the box in his hand, Ye Tian checked it over and over first, and then gently opened the top cover of the box.

What appeared in front of everyone was a yellowed notebook, and this notebook had been flipped through countless times, and it was already curled up!

And on the cover of this notebook, there is a line written in cursive Latin, and there is a name, but unfortunately Ye Tian doesn't know it!

Ye Tian carefully looked at the cover of the notebook and the contents of the box, and then reached out and gently opened the cover of the notebook.

What appeared in front of him was a diary written in Latin, and the guy who wrote the diary was of a limited level, the diary was full of traces of alteration, and the paper was very scribbled!

"Gentlemen, this is clearly someone's diary, and the diary is written by the same fellow who may have lived in this building or in this room and dug out this compartment.

In this private diary, there may be some unknown secrets recorded. Unfortunately, this diary is written in Latin. I don’t understand Latin. Bishop of Kent, you can only interpret it! "

After speaking, Ye Tian took the box and came to the Bishop of Kent, asking him to interpret the contents recorded in the diary in the box.

The Bishop of Kent did not refuse, and immediately began to flip through the yellowed diary. Paul also knew Latin, so he came over to study together.

After a while, the Bishop of Kent said solemnly:

"Steven, this is a diary full of resentment. The person who wrote the diary was a Venetian named Philip in the mid-seventeenth century. He used to live in this room and was a member of the embassy of the Republic of Venice. cleaners.

In his diary, he expressed his deep-rooted hatred for the ambassador and his wife of the Republic of Venice in Rome, and his envy and disgust for their luxurious life. He called the ambassador's wife a slut, and shamelessly had an affair with the ambassador's guard.

But between the lines, he revealed an almost crazy obsession with the ambassador's wife, and he harbored deep hatred for everyone in the embassy of the Republic of Venice. It can be seen that this is a guy with an extremely twisted psychology! ..."

Before the words fell, Paul continued to say:

"That's right, this Venetian named Philip is indeed an extremely perverted guy. Looking at his diary, I even have a creepy feeling. This kind of person is really terrifying!"

Not only Paul, but also everyone else at the scene, everyone couldn't help shivering, with a chill coming down their backs!
