Chapter 1560: Île Cité at Night
The night is low, and the lights are on.
Darkness has covered the land, and Paris, an ancient and romantic city, has shown a different side of it, with neon lights and colors everywhere
The Île de la Cité and the island's Avenue de Chanunes are still under martial law, and pedestrians and vehicles entering the island will be strictly interrogated by the Paris police.
If you are not a resident of the Île de la Cité, it is almost impossible to enter this much-anticipated and historic river island.
Especially on the Avenue de Chanunes, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the atmosphere is quite tense, and there seem to be more armed security guards and Paris police patrolling here than during the day
In the middle of this street, at the door of House 15, the lights are still bright, and there are many staff members from all over the world and major news media
The cameras and camera lenses in their hands were all facing the door of House 15, and they were always in a state of filming, and everyone was so excited and full of anticipation that there was no trace of fatigue in sight
At both ends of Chanunes Street, outside the police cordon, there are also many news media workers waiting for the next breaking news.
In addition to the many media reporters and the cordons at both ends of the street, there are also some diplomats from European embassies and consulates in Paris, all looking at the old building in the middle of the street.
It was late, and most of the Parisian citizens and tourists who came here to see the excitement had dispersed, and only a few people remained, driven by the heart of gossip.
The same is true of the bridgeheads leading to the Île de la Cité.
The difference is that there are still many protesters and demonstrators at these bridgeheads, many of whom come from various universities in Paris, and all of them have nowhere to vent their energetic energy, and they just come here to vent
Of course, among the protesters, there are still many people with ill intentions.
There are guys who are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and then smash and loot and burn, and take advantage of the chaos to make a small fortune, and these guys can be seen in almost every large-scale protest demonstration in Paris.
There are also those with other motives and greedy glints in their eyes, including art thieves and agents from various European countries.
Fortunately, the top brass of the Paris police was still in their heads, and they kept all these guys out of the Cité. Otherwise, this small island would have become a mess
In the blink of an eye, it was approaching eleven o'clock in the evening, and the night was getting darker.
Suddenly, a ripple rippled on the surface of the Seine, near Notre-Dame Cathedral, and quickly spread, breaking the calm of the river.
Immediately after, the surface of the water broke, and under the cover of night, three guys in black diving suits quietly emerged from the water, like ghosts in the river
Once surfaced, the three mysterious men took a quick look around and swam towards the embankment on the side of Notre Dame.
During the operation, the three of them were very cautious and cautious, barely making any sound, not even splashing a few splashes
However, where did these three guys think of it, their every move has long fallen into the eyes of others, and there is no secret at all
Just a few meters in front of them, on the embankment, there is a row of elegantly shaped street lamps, and on the top of one of the street light poles, a black beetle drone is falling, monitoring this section of the river
Under the coverage of the 360-degree panoramic infrared camera, no matter what happens on this section of the Seine, it cannot escape the monitoring of the beetle drone
In the living room, Ye Tian was checking the boxes of antique artworks that had just been brought up from the underground secret room.
At that moment, Miller's voice suddenly came through the headphones.
"Steven, three more fools have come out of the Seine, all in wetsuits, and they look ready to sneak over from Notre Dame
These stupid guys, I don't know how to change the tricks, this is the third wave tonight, it's really going forward, I'm worried about their IQ"
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly.
"Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots, they think there is a hole on the other side of the Seine, and they can sneak into the Avenue of Chanunnes without knowing it, but they don't know that it is already under our surveillance
As in the previous two times, after all the idiots have come ashore and walked some distance to the island, you can notify the Paris police, and let the police come out to deal with the fools, and we will not have to do it
Tell all the guys, everyone work hard tonight, keep your eyes open and stare at the movement around you, the night is still long, this is by no means the last, and more exciting shows are yet to come."
"Understand, Steven, leave the security to us, nothing will go wrong, no matter who comes, or what kind of gods and goddesses, no one will want to break into this historic building"
Miller responded, in a categorical and unusually firm tone.
After ending the call, Ye Tian looked at the box in front of him again, and compared it with the record on the registration form, not taking the three idiots who had just emerged from the Seine River seriously
As early as eight o'clock in the evening, the cleaning of Napoleon's treasure was completely completed, and everything in the secret chamber deep underground was registered
Even the two seven-pounder cannons in the corridor, and the Charville 1777 rifle used to set the traps, did not fall
Subsequently, all those involved in the clean-up were evacuated from the underground chamber and returned to the surface.
Soon after returning to the surface, the group of museum professionals from the Louvre left the building and went back to the Louvre, or to their own homes and their mothers
Needless to say, as soon as they went out, they were immediately surrounded by numerous media reporters asking about the details of Napoleon's treasures.
Those professionals in the field of antique art collection who are eager to wear it will naturally not be idle, and will definitely inquire about the situation of these Louvre museum personnel as soon as possible.
As soon as the Louvre's professional museum personnel walked out of the gate, they were immediately surrounded by media reporters waiting at the door
Immediately after that, more details about the historic building, about the underground vault, about Napoleon's treasures, spread quickly, and the wind spread all over the world
For this situation, Ye Tian had already expected it, and he had no intention of preventing it
He did not ask the departing Louvre museum personnel to keep secrets and not divulge information about Napoleon's treasures, which was no longer necessary
As for the tentative agreement signed by the museum personnel before the clean-up work began, it was invalid and non-binding from the moment they stepped out of the historic building
The discovery of Napoleon's treasure is well known, causing a great sensation and attracting countless attentions
For Ye Tian, the bigger the sensation, the better, and the more people who pay attention to Napoleon's treasure, the better, which will make some people scruples
Although the Louvre's museum team left, Martinez and two other top antique art experts from the Louvre remained
They claimed to have witnessed the rediscovery of Napoleon's treasures, and watched as the priceless treasures were brought out of the underground chambers and brought to the surface
This is their main purpose, as top professionals, where are they willing to miss this kind of God-given opportunity, but they are not without supervision, lest Ye Tian play any tricks
In addition, Perry led a delegation from the U.S. Embassy in France to leave the historic building and return to the embassy, successfully ending the mission of standing and cheering
However, the cultural counselor of the embassy and two embassy security personnel stayed behind to assist Ye Tian in dealing with possible diplomatic problems, and by the way, also supervised the French police
Following Perry, Bernard left with his lawyer and returned to his home in Paris
Bernard had just flown back to Paris from Mallorca, Spain, and was a little tired due to his age, and needed to go back and have a good rest
As for the others, the staff of the three news outlets, as well as two high-ranking officials from the Paris police department, also left the historic building
But they didn't go far, as soon as the three NBC media outlets left the building, they immediately set up cameras across the street and continued to follow the scene
Those two Parisian police executives, as the police officers who knew Napoleon's treasures and the interior of this historic building, could not be idle
Some people left the historic building, and some people came here.
Soon after the clean-up work was completed, at Ye Tian's request, Raytheon Company sent ten armed security personnel and a large number of high-precision equipment to the island of Xiti to enrich the security force here.
As these security personnel arrived and joined the security team commanded by Matisse, the much-anticipated historic building was immediately guarded as if it were an impregnable wall, without the slightest hole
Next, under the protection of Taylor and Lisa, Betty also left here and flew back to the Regina Hotel in a helicopter to go back to rest
The people who should leave are gone, and those who stay are basically their own people
After dinner and a short rest, everyone began to move again and began to carry the priceless treasures of Napoleon's treasures
Using various tools, everyone moved those treasures out of the underground vault and moved them to this historic building on the ground, so that they could reappear in the sunlight
Everything went very smoothly, and it didn't take long for the living room where Ye Tian was, as well as a few rooms next to it, to be filled with all kinds of boxes tightly wrapped in sealed bags
After more than 200 years of disappearance, these priceless antique artworks and incomparably important historical documents have finally returned to the surface
Of course, there were also some episodes when carrying these priceless treasures from Napoleon's treasures.
It is the uninvited guests who appear one after another, coveting them, who use various methods to try to sneak into the Via Chanunnes and infiltrate this historic building, for the purpose of self-evident
The three idiots who dived from the Seine are already in the third wave tonight.
After Ye Tian instructed Miller, he moved his gaze to the boxes in front of him and began to check the treasures contained in those boxes
Although he had the registration form in his hand, he trusted his eyes more.
On perspective, it is clear what the boxes contain, and whether they match the contents of the registration form
I also checked two or three boxes, and there was a sudden change outside.
"Bang Bang Bang"
A shrill burst of gunfire rang out, deafening, completely tearing apart the quiet night.
The moment he heard the gunshot, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the atrium garden, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No need to ask, the Parisian police and those three idiots are on fire.
