While standing in the living room performing, Xiao Ran felt somewhat helpless.
Although he had discovered the secret here a long time ago, he did not want to reveal the answer too early. He originally planned to talk about it some time later.
Now that this secret is revealed, it seems a bit shocking.
It gives the outside world the feeling that one already knows there is a treasure hidden here.
Even if this is indeed the case, it still needs to be covered up.
However, what happened in Ottawa, Canada, made him temporarily change his mind.
In line with the principle that revenge never lasts overnight, he decided to launch an immediate counterattack.
Revealing the Canadian government’s hypocritical mask in public and cooperating with the Consulate General’s delaying strategy.
The opportunity to launch a counterattack is the treasure hidden in this luxury apartment.
The many media reporters gathered outside the apartment building can be used as weapons.
Looking at Spencer again, he was completely stunned and froze on the spot.
After a while, the guy just woke up.
Then, he quickly walked to the north wall of the living room and began to observe this wall and the ceiling above his head.
Before he could figure out the reason, Mike suddenly said in surprise:
"Sean, the size of this living room looks similar to the living rooms in other apartments of the same type in the building! It doesn't seem to be much different."
"I even have a feeling that the living room here seems to be larger and more open than other living rooms in apartments of the same size!"
Not only him, but David and Swift also felt the same, and they all nodded in confusion.
Elaine was the only one observing the scene thoughtfully, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then explained the reason.
"It's normal for you to have this illusion, because someone has played a space magic here!"
"To be precise, someone did some tricks when decorating this apartment, making the originally reduced space look normal or even larger."
“This is very easy to do, especially for a painter, through the use of various lines and colors.”
"Also, the same effect can be achieved by reducing the size of the furniture, but this method is clumsy!"
“The model houses used by real estate companies for display will use this method to give visitors the illusion that the house is more spacious.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the various decorative lines that could be seen everywhere in the living room, and briefly introduced the magical functions of those lines.
Following his introduction, everyone suddenly realized what the problem was.
"Ah! The space here has really been shrunk, but it still feels normal. It's amazing!"
Swift said excitedly, her eyes shining.
Before he finished speaking, Spencer suddenly said in a lost voice:
"It is said that Alexey personally designed the decoration of this apartment and hired someone to decorate it. Could it be that he has hidden a secret room here?"
"It has been five years since I bought this apartment building. The tenant who moved in later also lived here for two years. Why was it not discovered?"
"Oh my god! Such a big secret has been right under our noses for several years, but we didn't even realize it. We are so stupid!"
Everyone turned to look at this guy, and everyone's eyes were filled with sympathy and even pity!
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, smiled and comforted him a few words.
"You don't have to be frustrated, Spencer, it would be difficult for anyone else to spot this flaw."
"Alexey is a moderately accomplished painter. He wants to use his painting skills to deceive people's vision. It can be said that he does it easily!"
"As expected, there is indeed a secret room hidden here, and the space of this secret room is not small, even including the entire ceiling!"
"ah!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison, all shocked.
The next moment, everyone looked up at the ceiling above, their eyes extremely burning.
At this time, everyone wanted to see through the surrounding walls and the ceiling above their heads immediately.
See what secrets are hidden behind the walls and ceilings.
"The entire ceiling is a secret room. How is this possible?"
"The combined area of the north wall and ceiling is dozens of square meters. What kind of treasure is hidden in such a large secret room?"
David said in amazement.
"If I'm not wrong, there may be a large number of paintings by Nicholas Fexin hidden in this huge secret room."
“Only his father’s paintings are worthy of Alexei’s efforts to hide them and keep them until his death!”
Xiao Ran said with a smile, even if he missed, he was still not far off.
Not surprisingly, everyone was shocked again.
"How much are the many paintings of Nikolai Feshin worth? They are definitely a huge art treasure!"
Elaine said excitedly.
Everyone else behaved the same way, dancing excitedly.
Looking at Spencer again, this guy's eyes instantly turned red.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's voice came out again.
"I'm not sure whether my guess is accurate, but it's well proven."
"Mike, go find a measuring tool, then find an unused apartment of the same size and measure the area."
"The most critical data is the width of the living room and the height of the ceiling, and you will know the answer."
"Okay, Sean, I have a rangefinder in the car I rented. I bought it two days ago when I was looking at the house."
Mike nodded in agreement and then left the apartment to get tools.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran said to Sam standing at the door:
"Sam, let the guys be vigilant and be ready for emergencies at any time."
"If my guess is correct, then the value of this art treasure must be amazing."
"Tell the guys at the hotel to send over a metal detector. I want to scan this apartment."
"Copy that, Sean, leave it to us!"
Sam nodded in response.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and notified all security personnel inside and outside the apartment building.
After making the arrangements, Xiao Ran turned around again and looked at the wall on the north side of the living room to see if there was a secret door on the wall.
Unfortunately, he did not discover the existence of the secret door.
The surface of this wall is covered with a layer of exquisite top-grade marble slabs. The specifications of all the slabs are the same, and there is no abnormality.
While checking the wall, he also clenched his fists and pounded the wall hard to see if there was any hollow echo.
However, the sound coming back from the walls was muffled.
This method obviously doesn't work, or the walls are too thick to be inspected this way.
Seeing this result, everyone was a little disappointed.
But in Spencer's eyes, hope appeared again.
At this time, he extremely hoped that Xiao Ran would encounter Waterloo and find nothing!
That way, he won't be in too much pain and can avoid spending the rest of his life in regret!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight minutes passed.
Xiao Ran and the others were still studying the layout of the living room, looking for the entrance to the secret room hidden somewhere.
Just then, Mike came back with measuring tools.
As soon as he entered the living room, this guy said excitedly:
"Sean, I just measured another apartment of the same size and got some accurate data."
"Now as long as you measure the width and height of this living room, you can know whether there is a secret room hidden here."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Then let's get started. I really want to see if my guess is correct."
"I want to see even more what secrets are hidden here."
Mike nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, Sean, look at me."
With that said, this guy took action.
He took a handheld laser rangefinder and first began to measure the width of the living room from north to south, and then measured the height from the floor to the ceiling.
In the blink of an eye, the measurement results were available.
"Wow! The width of this living room from north to south is actually 1.2 meters less than the width of the living room in the same apartment downstairs."
"The height from the floor to the ceiling is actually 35 centimeters less."
"It's a miracle that such a large area was hidden but not discovered by anyone. It's incredible!"
Mike exclaimed and reported the measurement results.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this result.
"Great! It seems that there is indeed a secret room here that is unknown to everyone, and it has deceived everyone!"
"I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden in this secret room? If it is really a large number of paintings by Nicholas Fexin, that would be perfect!"
Everyone said with excitement, everyone was very excited.
Except, of course, Spencer.
This guy is now in mourning, how can he be happy?
"Want to know what treasure is hidden in this secret room? It's easy, just break open this wall and you'll know the answer!"
With that said, Xiao Ran pointed to the wall on the north side of the living room.
