0226 Painted in the Door?

"Boss, why don't we go underground?" Davy suggested.

The rooms on the ground are basically wandering around, after all, it is a castle that has been open to the public for almost 30 years, and all the places that may keep secrets have been explored, and where can there be anything suspicious.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

Wu Qian's group of five people walked along the revolving stone staircase towards the ground, if it was 500 years ago, the stone staircase down was very dark, and there was only a candlestick on the wall about two meters apart, and they could make up what the candle light was like a bean.

Now they are equipped with modern lighting systems, which do not look cramped and dim, and the lights illuminate the stones.

After walking down for about two large circles, about 10 meters underground, Wu Qian saw several storage rooms with open doors and empty interiors. The storage room is not big, only three or five square meters, you can see the head at a glance, very solid stone house, without any ornate decorations, it should be used for stacking sundries.

At the end of the stone staircase is the wine cellar of Leeds Castle, the main body of Leeds Castle is built on a small island in the middle of the lake, the geographical location is very special, because it is too humid, the relevant departments specially installed a moisture removal machine for the wine cellar.

Wu Qian and his party came to the wooden door of the wine cellar, and a wooden sign hung on the stone wall next to the door, which depicted an oak barrel in an abstract and ancient painting style, and the oak barrel was entwined with vines, presumably grapevines.

Rosalind found the power switch and turned on the dehumidifier and ventilator in the cellar.

Wu Qian found that the door of the wine cellar was hidden, he put his hand on the door, and was about to push it open, when he found that this door was a little special, I don't know what considerations, it was built very thick.

"Is this a thief or a moisture......"

Wu Qian pushed hard, and the heavy wooden door of the wine cellar creaked in, and the lifting frame in the wine cellar was not high, about a little more than 2 meters, and it was also empty, bright and transparent.

Although it was bright everywhere, the sound of opening the door just now still made Wu Qian's scalp feel a little numb, and a series of horror stories about the ancient castle that he had heard instantly came to mind.

"Ho ho ...... Are you nervous?" Wu Qian did not take a step forward, but turned his head to look at the four bodyguards who were following him.

The bodyguards are very puzzled, what is there to be nervous about, yesterday it was also exhibited as a scenic spot, and there can be ghosts in and out of people.

"Don't be nervous, boss. I'll take a look first. Cooks saw that Wu Qian seemed to be a little flustered, his boss was from the mysterious East, and there were many mysterious stories in that mysterious country, and he felt that his boss might be remembering some terrifying legend.

Wu Qian nodded, very satisfied with Cooks' performance.

Then, Cooks and David walked in front, Wu Qian walked in the middle, Rosalind and Bauer in the back, and a group of five people walked into the cellar.

"It's empty, there's nothing to see, everything of value is taken away. Coux stood in the middle of the cellar with one hand on his hips, fanned his nose with the other hand, and said with a smile: "It's not nothing, there is still a little fragrance left." ”

The wine cellar is about 150-200 square meters, and if it is the size of the wine cellar of today's rich, it is already a large wine cellar, but it was not for ordinary people to live, but for the women of the royal family, which is relatively not very luxurious.

Wu Qian was a little disappointed standing in the cellar, his feet were all solid stone slabs, he didn't think that such a stone slab could hide things underneath, in that case it was not a small action at the beginning, there must have been horse's feet or related records flowing out, and it was impossible for the relevant departments not to act.

Wu Qian didn't dare to imagine what an oil painting would become if it was buried in the ground, after so many years......

Of course, if you can't find it on the surface, the next step is to dig three feet into the ground.

"Where are you hiding?" Wu Qian walked along the wall in the cellar with his hands behind his back, he could even see some marks left by the feet of drunk driving on the ground, the traces of time were very obvious, wandering in it, Wu Qian could make up some pictures in his mind.

A squire and maid dressed in medieval costumes come to the cellar and fetch a barrel of fine wine for the castle lord in oak barrels, or a beautiful maid has an affair with a prominent figure in the castle and accidentally knocks the barrel to the ground, the barrel breaks, and the wine flows all over the floor, and the crumble escapes in panic.

Wu Qian immersed himself in his own world for a while, and then prepared to leave the wine cellar with four bodyguards, there was no place to hide things, and it could be seen through at a glance, except for the stone walls and stone slabs......

"Is there a secret room in the castle? The British don't know how to do tricks...... Wu Qian said, pulling the wooden door of the wine cellar with his hand, and making a creaking sound again, which made people's teeth ache.

"This one should be fixed...... Eh, yo roar, so thick?" Wu Qian opened the door when he found that the wooden door was a little thick.

When he first entered the cellar, he only felt that the door was heavy, and he did not delve into how thick the wooden door was, but when he looked from the inside out, he found some discord.

Wu Qian measured it with the palm of his hand, and the distance between his thumb and ring finger when he opened his palm was almost 22 centimeters, but this wooden door was not enough, and it was about 30 centimeters thick.

Nowadays, the thickness of the door of the home is generally 4-6 cm, and if it is said that the thickness of the ancient city wall door is 30 cm, it is reasonable, but it is a bit contrary to common sense to use such a thick door for a wine cellar.

"Don't you think the thickness of this door is a little unusual?" Wu Qian stood by the door, opening and closing the wooden door back and forth, making a creaking sound, probably because the wooden door was too heavy, causing the load-bearing hinge to be overwhelmed.

Several bodyguards really didn't care about this phenomenon, they used to train in the ancient castle of G4S, and the doors used in some special storage rooms were also very thick, so they didn't feel too abrupt, but Wu Qian mentioned this, and several people also felt that this door was installed here a bit of a contradiction.

"Boss, I feel like it's a little thick, is the painting hidden in the door?" Davy asked with puffed eyes, looking incredulous.

Wu Qian's few people are almost crazy looking for things, and they will finally find a clue, so it is naturally impossible to let it go.

Several people carefully looked at this suspicious wooden door, because the lifting frame of the wine cellar is not high, so the wooden door is not high, only 2 meters, using a large area of whole wooden planks spliced together, almost 1.5 meters wide. The whole is dark maroon, and the metal knocker is delicate, but it has rusted.
