Chapter 262: The Chamber of Secrets
After Hong Feifan rummaged through the cabinets, he did not find "blue jade greens" and "Song kiln narcissus pots".
Hong Feifan frowned, could it be that those two national treasures were handed over by Nadpu?
"I didn't find the national treasure we were looking for here. Hong Feifan said to Yu Xiadi and Ding Xiaoding in disappointment.
"It's strange, I didn't find it here, and I didn't find it on your side, where did Nadpu hide the national treasure?" Ding Xiaoding answered first.
"The most likely place has not been found, where will it be hidden?" Yu Xiadi said thoughtfully.
"Did we overlook something?" Hong Feifan thought for a moment.
Yu Xiadi and Ding Xiaoding said "um" in unison.
"Study!" Hong Feifan's eyes suddenly opened, "By the way, Nadpu's study." Adi, didn't you say before that there's something wrong with Nadp's study?"
"Yes. Yu Xiadi realized, "Could it be that the things we are looking for will go to Nadep's study?"
"Possibly. Hong Feifan said, "Xiao Ding, let's go to the study to meet." ”
"Okay. Ding Xiaoding responded.
After a while, Hong Feifan and Ding Xiaoding appeared outside Nadep's study.
The door to the study was unlocked.
Hong Feifan and Ding Xiaoding glanced at each other, pushed the door and walked in.
The floor of the study was carpeted, the walls were plastered in an indescribable color of half blue and half gray, and a row of black walnut bookshelves sat behind a black walnut American desk.
The bookshelves were very large, high to the ceiling, and there were rows of books on them, and many golden letters flashed beautifully.
On the top floor of the bookshelf are several ceramic vases.
There are two maps hanging on the wall, one is a map of the world and the other is a map of the United States. In addition to the desk and chair at the back, there are three black sofas and a coffee table.
Hong Feifan and Ding Xiaoding looked around and found that there was no place in the study to store those two national treasures.
"It doesn't look like a place to store the two national treasures we're looking for. Ding Xiaoding whispered thoughtfully.
Hong Feifan pondered for a moment and asked, "Based on your experience, where would ordinary people hide those treasures?"
"Normally, you'd be hiding in an antique room like the one you just went to. Ding Xiaoding said.
Hong Feifan nodded thoughtfully, his eyes swept over the bookshelf.
"Why don't we look elsewhere?" Ding Xiaoding suggested.
Hong Feifan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Ding Xiaoding: "Do you think those ceramic vases on the bookshelf are a little strange?"
"What kind of strange method?" Ding Xiaoding said suspiciously, his eyes on the ceramic vase on the top floor of the bookshelf.
"Have you noticed that the vase in the middle is very different? Hong Feifan pointed to a vase in the middle and said.
Ding Xiaoding took two steps forward, looked carefully at the vase placed in the middle, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You're right, this vase is indeed different." The other vases look older, but the one in the middle looks like a contemporary product. ”
As a thief, Ding Xiaoding, although his research on antiques has not reached the level of a master, he can still distinguish what is a fake and what is genuine. Otherwise, how can you steal someone else's antique without getting a fake!
"That's right!" said Hong Feifan, "I don't have much research on other antiques, but I still know a little about porcelain. Judging from the shape, ornamentation and glaze of the vase in the middle, it is definitely not an ancient product, but a contemporary imitation. ”
Ding Xiaoding hummed and said thoughtfully: "You mean to say that such a worthless vase is a little abrupt and incongruous when placed with other vases?"
"Yes. Hong Feifan nodded, and said while thinking, "For a merchant like Nadpu who likes to collect antiques, he should definitely not make such a low-level mistake. Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Ding Xiaoding asked urgently.
"Unless there's some secret on this vase. Hong Feifan said.
Ding Xiaoding rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think there is any mechanism in this study? And this vase is the switch of the mechanism?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Hong Feifan said seriously.
Ding Xiaoding smiled and said, "I have stolen so many things and infiltrated many mansions, but I have never seen such a mechanism. What's more, it's the 21st century, Nadpu doesn't use modern technology, and will still use these old methods? Brother Hong, I think you have seen too much martial arts. ”
What Xiao Ding said is not unreasonable. Yu Xiadi interjected, "Few modern people will adopt this method that only ancient people would use. ”
"Don't forget, Nadep was an antique lover, in other words, he had a soft spot for things from the past. Hong Feifan said with a serious expression.
Ding Xiaoding shrugged disappreciably.
"Whether this vase is a switch or not, I always feel that it has a special meaning here. ”
Hong Feifan said, stepping on the chair behind the desk with both feet, and stretched out his right hand to remove the vase.
Hong Feifan's right hand held the neck of the vase, and when he wanted to remove the vase, he found that the vase seemed to be glued to the top of the bookshelf.
He frowned slightly, and pushed it up, but the vase still didn't move.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoding immediately wondered: "Brother Hong, what's the matter?"
"This vase can't be removed? It looks like it's fixed to a bookshelf. Hong Feifan said.
"It's strange, how can this be?" Ding Xiaoding was even more puzzled.
"Is it really the switch of the mechanism?" Yu Xiadi couldn't help but say.
Hong Feifan didn't respond to them, as if he remembered something, his left hand also stretched out, and he held the body of the vase with his right hand, and then twisted it in a clockwise direction hard.
The vase turned in a clockwise direction.
"Click!"
I don't know from somewhere, there is a faint sound like unlocking.
Suddenly, the row of bookshelves in front of Hong Feifan was moving silently and slowly to the right.
"Wow!"
Ding Xiaoding and Yu Xiadi exclaimed in unison.
Hong Feifan jumped out of his chair and took a step back.
The shelves have been removed about sixty centimeters, and you can see behind them.
Behind the bookshelves is a secret room that is extremely elaborately furnished.
It is better to say that it is a secret room, than a treasure room.
There are a lot of antiques inside, and in the middle of these antiques there is an antique sofa.
However, before Hong Feifan had time to carefully observe the situation in the secret room, his face suddenly changed.
Someone in the chamber pointed a pistol to his forehead.
Hong Feifan never expected that there would be people in the secret room, so he did not maintain a high level of vigilance.
"Don't move!" came a woman's voice speaking English from inside the chamber.
