Chapter 1259 Wishful thinking
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had already walked to the corner in front of the Swan Restaurant.
On this corner is the four-storey building where Victor Hugo's house is located, and next to it is the famous Swan Restaurant!
At this moment, Louis suddenly pointed to the group of tourists gathered at the corner of the street and said:
"Steven, Betty, there is the recumbent statue of Serklas cast in 1356, which is more than 600 years old, and Serklas is an ancient hero of Brussels.
Since ancient times, there has been a legend in Brussels that whoever comes here can bring happiness to those who touch this bronze statue, don't you want to try it?"
Ye Tian looked at the tourists waiting in line to touch the bronze statue at the entrance of the alley, and then said with a smile:
"I know this legend, and I also know that this famous bronze statue with a history of 600 years is that when you touch it, you must touch the right wrist of the bronze statue with your left hand, so that it will work.
Now that we're on the Grand Place in Brussels, we don't want to miss out on this opportunity, and who wouldn't want to live a very happy life?
But now is not the right time, there are too many tourists, we will come and touch this famous bronze statue later, there is time, we live here, it is also very convenient!"
After saying that, he continued to move forward with Betty, and walked straight to Hugo's house in front of him.
After walking through the alley, Betty kept looking back, with an eager expression and eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing her like this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled and whispered:
"My dear, don't be sorry, wait for fewer tourists in the square later, and we have plenty of time, so come and touch this bronze statue again!
You can touch Serkas from head to toe, the angel next to him, and his dog, don't let it go for as long as you want!"
"Okay, I don't want to miss this opportunity"
Betty nodded vigorously, and then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.
Ye Tian and the others were already in Hugo's former residence, admiring the furnishings and decorations in this set of celebrity former residences, while listening to the professional explanation of the docent.
In 1851, after Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the republic and restored the monarchy, the great writer Victor Hugo, a famous leftist, was forced into exile.
During his nineteen years in exile, Hugo spent most of his life in Brussels, in this apartment, using it as a base and using his pen as a weapon to continue his struggle.
Here, Victor Hugo wrote numerous battle essays against the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte, always fighting on the front lines of the French Revolution.
It was also in this apartment that Hugo laid a solid foundation for the completion of his monumental masterpiece Les Misérables, which contributed to the completion of that literary classic.
Victor Hugo loved this apartment and the Grand Place in Brussels more than anywhere else he had ever lived.
The apartment you see now, and the furnishings in it, are exactly the same as when Hugo lived here, and there is almost no change!
In many of Hugo's literary works of that period, as well as in the literature of Hugo's friends, the situation in this apartment is described in great detail,......"
At the same time as the narrator introduced the former residence of this celebrity, Ye Tian also kept looking at this old apartment, admiring the furnishings and layouts, and taking a look at it from time to time to see if he could find any secrets.
In his eyes, this set of former residences of celebrities is very different from what others see, and even very different.
The Belgian beauty docent is right, the furnishings and decorations in this apartment are the same as when Hugo lived here, or even identical.
The antique furniture that radiates a dazzling red glow, and the works of art with several or even ten layers of enchanting halos, are the best proof of this.
Just from these antique artworks in the apartment, Ye Tian could see it.
The Belgians do take this celebrity home very seriously, and they don't mess with antique artifacts to fool tourists, almost everything here is a genuine antique art.
In particular, the set of tables and chairs and a baroque table lamp in Hugo's study, as well as the two pieces of Chinese porcelain in the living room, are very good antique works of art, and they are all worth a lot of money!
Belgians are also well aware of the value of these treasures, and the protection measures are so tight that tourists are unlikely to come into contact with them.
Of course, these antique artworks on the surface are not Ye Tian's goal, and he has no chance to get his hands on them at all.
The reason why he sees through every corner of this apartment is that he hopes to discover some hidden, untold secrets here.
You know, this is an ancient building built hundreds of years ago, and it is located in a place like the Grand Place in Brussels, how can there be no secret rooms or walls?
In fact, he did find a secret room, which was rather narrow enough to accommodate only one or two people to hide, just behind one wall in the living room.
Sadly, it was just a hiding place, empty and empty, not to mention valuable antique art.
There may have been something hidden in the secret room before, but it had been emptied by the Belgians who managed the apartment, and nothing was left.
It can be seen from the relatively clean interior of the secret room that the Belgians have already discovered it, and there is no suspense left.
After walking into Hugo's study, Ye Tian found a secret compartment on the wall behind the bookshelf, which was also empty, and there was nothing, which was disappointing!
Except for these two places, there are no other secret rooms or secret compartments in Hugo's former residence, which makes Ye Tianfa's wishful thinking about discovering the draft of "Les Miserables" completely come to naught.
It took about half an hour for Ye Tian and them to visit Hugo's former residence.
By the time they stepped out of the Renaissance building, it was noon, and it was lunchtime.
Belgian lunchtime is relatively normal, usually starting at 12 o'clock and basically ending around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
If you see someone having lunch in a restaurant in Brussels after half past two in the afternoon, it's either French or Spanish.
Only the people of these two countries will eat a meal as long as a century!
Coming out of Hugo's former residence, Ye Tian did not immediately walk to the Swan Restaurant next to him.
With a big smile on his face, he turned to look at the Belgian detectives who were pretending to be tourists and were wandering at the door of Hugo's house, and said to the guys:
"Gentlemen, you have worked so hard for you, you have been following you for so long, you are so dutiful, thank you very much for your protection, so that we can avoid a lot of trouble.
Since entering the Grand Place in Brussels, those thieves and liars have never come near us, and it must be thanks to a few of you.
It's lunchtime, and if you don't mind, I'd like to treat you to lunch and say thank you at the famous Swan restaurant.
I've been admiring this restaurant for a long time, and I've booked a seat early, and there should be no problem with a few of you, but I don't know if you are willing to enjoy the light?"
After speaking, Ye Tian looked at the Belgian police detectives, still with a sunny smile on his face, and he was very friendly!
Betty, who was standing beside him, and Anderson and Louis behind him, all tried to hold back their laughter and keep themselves from laughing.
Several Belgian police detectives were completely stupid, their faces were red and white for a while, not to mention how embarrassed their expressions were!
From the very beginning, the whereabouts of these people were discovered by Steven's bastard, and that bastard just didn't break it!
In vain, these people have gone to great lengths to hide their whereabouts, pretend to be passers-by and tourists, and the result is all a self-inflicted and completely superfluous clumsy show!
Thinking of this, several Belgians suddenly felt a hot pain in their cheeks, and their faces were about to fall to the surface of their feet, and they couldn't pick them up!
After a long time, the Belgian police detective who led the team suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice with a red face:
"Thank you for the invitation, Steven, but we're on a mission and can't accept your invitation to have lunch with you, I'm sorry.
Go and have lunch by yourself, Swan Restaurant is a very nice restaurant with a great reputation, I wish you a great lunch!"
"Alright then, in that case, we'll have to have lunch alone, and hopefully we'll see you all when we come out of the Swan Restaurant!"
After speaking, Ye Tian nodded to several Belgian detectives, and then walked to the Swan Restaurant with Betty.
Anderson and Louis followed, and soon the group entered the Swan Restaurant and disappeared from the Grand Place in Brussels.
Looking at Ye Tian's departing back, several Belgian detectives rolled their eyes in unison, but they were helpless!
