Chapter 517: Unraveling

When entering the church, Ye Tian took out 20 dollars from his wallet and stuffed it into the donation box next to the door and then followed the other tourists and walked into the church.

This is a Gothic church with a high tower. The gate of the church is at the bottom of the tower. The entrance is the place of worship. The interior space is tall, spacious and bright, with good lighting.

The internal space of the church is divided into two floors, the upper part of the main passage is empty and the second floor is located on both sides of the main passage.

The main color is white and several groups of baroque style gilt crystal chandeliers hang on the white dome, which is dazzling!

In addition, several national flags were hung on the second floor of the church.

Unlike other churches in the United States, the American flag from the War of Independence is hung here, not the current Stars and Stripes and they are all on the left.

The national flag is also hung on the right half, but is the British flag and the St. George flag with the red cross on a white background.

The two are quite distinct, separated on both sides, a bit of confrontation!

The reason for this situation is naturally to commemorate the American War of Independence.

After entering the church, Ye Tian, ​​like other tourists, looked around and admired the furnishings in the church, taking pictures with his mobile phone from time to time, with a bit of piety on his face, which looked like that.

But his footsteps never stopped and he quickly walked towards the altar along the main passage in the middle.

On both sides of the main passage are white grids with a height of about 1.5 meters and an area of ​​about 2-3 square meters. Inside, there can be one or two people. The Bible is placed for people to pray.

At this time, many tourists were sitting in the cubicle, holding the Bible and praying in a low voice, very religious.

But Ye Tian doesn't care about this and he didn't come here to pray!

His goal was the religious murals behind the altar and the bust of Washington not far from the side.

There are not many decorations in this church and the walls on both sides are very thin, it is difficult to hide any secrets!

If there are really hidden secrets here, it can only be in the religious murals and the bust of Washington, as well as the locations where these two things are placed, including walls, underground and so on.

Soon, Ye Tian walked to the altar and through his sunglasses, he watched the murals hanging on the wall behind the altar.

There are a total of five frescoes, one in the center is a image of Jesus and the other four paintings on both sides are all biblical stories, which are quite sacred and solemn!

These five murals were created in the 1720s and they should have been born at the same time as the Old North Church. In Ye Tian's eyes, they radiated a dazzling red light, accurately showing the age they came from.

It is a pity that these religious murals do not have much halo on the outside, only five or six floors, which shows that these murals lack artistic value and are not masterpieces.

In an instant, Ye Tian had a very thorough understanding of these murals, and he didn't even need perspective.

But who knows if there are any secrets hidden in the walls behind these murals and in the ground below the altar?

Throughout the ages, churches are almost the easiest place to find secret rooms. Western missionaries seem to have this habit. They especially like to hide some secrets in churches and they never get tired of it!

The church in front of him might also have a secret room, plus this is Pastor Thompson's old lair, Ye Tian is even more suspicious! He is also full of expectations!

He was going to see through every inch of the land, every wall and every corner.

In his opinion, the Old North Church is undoubtedly the best place to hide antique artworks. No one would doubt it and no one would search it! The Boston police and the FBI probably wouldn't even think about it!

If the guess is correct, Pastor Thompson hid a lot of antique art in the Old North Church, then there must be a secret room here and the area is quite large, only Thompson knows.

The exploration starts with the altar in front of him, he hope it is a good start!

Just do it!

Ye Tian immediately opened the perspective and looked at the wall behind the altar.

The line of sight crossed the distance and instantly saw the opposite wall transparently!

Four layers of solid red bricks, steel bars added to reinforce the wall later, small animals creeping in the cracks of the bricks, etc., all the details inside and outside the walls are clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes and nothing has been missed!

At the same time, what he saw through was not only the wall, but also the few tourists outside the wall. They were all middle-aged and elderly people. It was really not very beautiful!

There is no secret inside the wall and there is no mechanism, nothing was gained!

After that, Ye Tian moved his eyes again, looked towards the ground and began to explore the situation under the altar.

As far as he can see, there are wooden floors, rammed foundations, black soil and a few earthworms in hibernation. There is no surprise to find.

When the depth of perspective is about eight meters below the ground, the line of sight is difficult to get in. This is the limit depth of Ye Tian's current perspective.

He can't continue and the situation is unknown. He guess there is nothing there!

No gain! Ye Tian immediately retracted his gaze and walked towards the bust of Washington not far away.

At this moment, the phone rang twice in succession, which was a short message alert tone.

Then, Kenny's voice came through the earphones.

"Steven, the floor plan of the Old North Church has been sent to you. The floor plans of the main church and the outbuildings are available, but Thompson's residence in the Old North Church is not easy to find. We are working hard to find this information!"

Ye Tian looked around and after confirming that no one was around, he immediately responded in a low voice:

"Okay, I have received it, I will check it later, you will continue to check, once you find the relevant information, send it to me immediately!"

"Ok! We will continue looking!"

Kenny responded and ended the call.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked to the front of the bust of Washington and began to stop and admire it!

The Marquis de Lafayette's evaluation is correct, this is indeed the best bust of Washington, even better than similar statues in the Metropolitan Museum and the Philadelphia Museum!

The carving techniques of this sculpture are quite sophisticated. Every detail of Washington's face and hair has been carved very delicately and meticulously!

In particular, his eyes are carved very vividly and expressively, revealing a sense of determination, which fully expresses George Washington's leadership temperament.

There is no doubt that this sculpture must be made by a master and it is invaluable!

The reason why Ye Tian made such a positive judgment is based on the beauty of the statue itself and the superb carving techniques.

Ye Tian has strong confidence in his artistic appreciation and his self-confidence is by no means inferior to anyone, including those famous artists and antique art appraisal experts!

Another reason is based on the ability of the eyes.

In his eyes, this statue radiated a dazzling red light, dazzling!

Judging from the intensity of the red light, he can very accurately determine the creation date of this statue, in the late eighteenth century, after the victory of the American War of Independence!

And the dozens of charming and alluring halos attached to this statue accurately reveal its artistic value!

This is a top-level artwork with super-high artistic value from the master's hand, meticulously crafted!

But it is a pity that this is a national treasure of the United States. It can only be placed here for people to admire. It can't go anywhere else, let alone someone's private collection.

Of course, no one is so stupid as to think of snatch this sculpture, unless he wants to become the national enemy of the United States!

After admiring this top-level artwork for a while, Ye Tian packed up his mood and started to do business.

Perspective is on!

In the next instant, his vision immediately penetrated the sculpture in front of him and the wall behind the sculpture, seeing all this very transparently and thoroughly!

There are no secrets, no walls, no organs and still nothing.

Perspective continues.

Ye Tian looked down and looked at the ground under the base of the statue, exploring the secrets hidden underground!

The marble base, the wooden floor, the rammed foundation and the black ground, apart from these, there is nothing else and he haven't seen the shadow of the secret room at all!

It seems there is no secret here! Ye Tian retracted his gaze and ended the perspective! Somewhat disappointed in his eyes.

But he did not leave here, but continued to linger in the old church. While admiring this ancient building, he continued to see through every corner, passing through a sieve and not letting go of every centimeter of the ground.

It's a pity that all he did was useless!

Ten minutes later, he could only walk out of this ancient church in disappointment, empty-handed and nothing!

When he had just walked down the steps and was about to find a quiet place to check the floor plan of the Old North Church sent by Kenny, Matisse's voice suddenly came from the headphones.

"Steven, pay attention. Pastor Thompson left the new church with his assistant and is walking towards you. Pique and I are following them!"

"OK! I see, it is estimated that he is going to go back to the lounge, which is in the outbuilding here! Be careful when following and don't get caught!"

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, we will be careful!"

Matisse responded and then went silent.

In less than five minutes, Pastor Thompson in plain clothes and a young assistant walked into the south gate of the old church and walked to an outbuilding in the courtyard.

The target character appears!

Ye Tian suddenly chuckled and greeted him directly.
