To save time and for safety reasons, Xiao Ran did not clean up the Cubist oil painting hanging on the wall, but left it as it was.
Several other paintings stored in this vault are also works by McCann and have been treated in the same way.
It didn't take long for everyone to check everything in the vault.
In addition to the paintings that hide stolen art, the most valuable thing here is Miles’s collection of antique guitars made by various stars!
The most valuable guitar is Jimmy Page's double-headed Gibson guitar that created the greatest SOLO in the history of rock music!
After checking the items stored in the vault, Xiao Ran immediately called his employees waiting outside.
He told these guys to start cleaning up the paintings and musical instruments in the vault, packing them all and transporting them to the art museum.
After you finish searching this music store and return to the art museum, you can start further screening and cleaning!
After arranging these things, Xiao Ran and the others left the vault and walked towards the basement entertainment area and rest area.
In a short time, they had arrived in this area.
At this time, several paintings and a large number of celebrity posters originally hung here were taken down, packed and shipped to the art museum.
There are many musical instruments placed here, but none of them have been moved, as well as some entertainment equipment.
This was specially requested by Xiao Ran, but no one knew his intention.
After entering here, Xiao Ran quickly took a look at the situation here.
Immediately afterwards, he walked towards the Steinway grand piano in front of the north wall.
The others immediately followed, everyone curious.
In a few steps, Xiao Ran arrived in front of the Steinway piano, then stopped and began to check the situation here.
Seeing this scene, the others became even more curious.
"Sean, did you find anything here? Tell me."
Timothy asked curiously.
Xiao Ran turned to look at him, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, there is indeed an unknown secret hidden here, but it is difficult to find."
"Everyone will be able to see what this secret is right away. It may be a big surprise."
"As for how I found out, I won't introduce it. It involves commercial secrets."
Following his words, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Immediately afterwards, Frank and the others were a little helpless.
The leadership of this joint operation is completely in Xiao Ran's hands.
As long as it doesn't break the law, everyone else has no choice but to follow orders, including Frank and Scott.
"Okay, Xiao Ran, we look forward to witnessing a miracle again"
"You're such a guy, you're always appetizing!"
Timothy nodded helplessly and said.
Before she finished speaking, Elaine and the others chuckled.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly looked at Nick and the others standing aside and said to these guys:
"Guys, go get the pulse metal detector and deep ground-penetrating radar and prepare to scan this area."
"There are also equipment such as endoscopes, bulletproof vests, and anti-riot police shields. I can use them."
"Okay, Sean."
Nick and the others responded in unison and immediately went to get their equipment.
Frank and others at the scene became even more curious and looked at the surrounding situation in surprise.
Unfortunately, they found nothing new!
It's the same as what I saw before, nothing special!
Although curious, Frank and the others could only wait patiently and did not ask Xiao Ran again.
The main thing is that they all know it and there is no point in asking!
In a moment, Nick and the others had returned here with various equipment.
Xiao Ran scanned the equipment and immediately began to assign tasks.
"Nick, Marvin, you first use an endoscopic probe to explore the inside of this Steinway grand piano."
"You must be careful when detecting. The first time I saw this grand piano yesterday, I had a sense of crisis like thorns on my back."
"My sixth sense has always been relatively accurate, and I believe it will be the same this time. There may be some mystery in this piano."
"After some observation and analysis, I have further confirmed my judgment, so I let you investigate."
After hearing this, Marvin and the others' expressions suddenly became much more solemn.
"Okay, Sean, we'll be careful."
The two of them responded in unison and immediately took action.
They opened a small suitcase, took out a set of endoscopic detection equipment, and began to assemble and debug it.
the other side.
Xiao Ran glanced at the other people present and then explained a few words.
"The reason why I asked my men to explore the inside of this Steinway piano is because through previous investigations, I suspected that there were many high explosives hidden in this piano."
"The piano is placed in a very mysterious position, right at the most critical and fatal node of the building."
"Furthermore, this grand piano has no pulleys on its legs, but it weighs a lot, which means it is difficult to move. This is contrary to common sense."
"If there is really a large amount of high explosives in this piano, once it explodes, it will collapse the building in an instant, completely burying everyone and everything in the building."
"ah!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at the Steinway grand piano and its three legs.
Without exception, everyone present had a look of fear in their eyes.
What everyone saw was indeed the same as what Xiao Ran said.
In other music stores, heavyweight instruments such as Steinway grand pianos are usually displayed in the most eye-catching places to attract customers and demonstrate their strength and taste.
But in this music store, this valuable Steinway grand piano is placed in the corner of the basement.
Even from a performance perspective, this placement is unreasonable and will have a considerable impact on the performance.
Then there is something wrong with the three legs of this piano.
In order to facilitate movement, this surprisingly heavy grand piano is basically equipped with wheels on three legs for easy movement.
But this Steinway triangle, which weighs 500 to 600 kilograms, has no wheels on its three legs and is placed directly on the floor.
Due to the amazing weight of this piano, it is generally difficult for even three or five people to move the piano.
In other words, this Steinway triangle is fixed at this position.
Looking at this Steinway Grand Triangle, everyone saw more and more problems, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became.
"Sean, did I hear you correctly? There are really a lot of high explosives hidden in this Steinway grand piano?"
"Did Miles already have the idea of death together? Or did he want to destroy the evidence of the crime?"
Frank asked grimly.
Xiao Ran turned to look at him, then nodded and said:
"There are a lot of high explosives hidden in this Steinway triangle. It's just my guess. I'm not sure whether it's accurate."
"We will know the results soon, so there is no need to worry."
"If this is the case, then it is obvious that Miles is prepared to destroy the criminal evidence as soon as it is exposed."
"That crazy guy also has the idea and courage to die together. The previous fight upstairs is enough to illustrate the problem!"
Following his words, there was another burst of exclamations from the scene.
Then, Scott suddenly said:
"If this is the case, then there is no doubt that there must be more important secrets hidden in this music shop, and it is definitely not just the ones that have been discovered."
"Sean, as soon as it is confirmed that there are high explosives, I will immediately notify the bomb disposal team to come over and dismantle these explosives."
Xiao Ran nodded, and then continued:
"Everyone, please step back to ensure safety."
"Here are some Kevlar body armors, one for each person, put them all on"
"Although these body armors may not be able to stop high explosives, they are better than nothing!"
Before he finished speaking, several company employees had already picked up those body armors and began to distribute them to everyone.
Frank and Peggy, who would not refuse, took them and put them on one after another, their movements were very agile.
In comparison, Elaine and David behaved much more calmly!
They have seen scenes like this once or twice. Although they are not used to it, they are not very afraid!
More importantly, they all trust Xiao Ran immensely and are sure that he can protect everyone!
Since he had such suspicions for a long time, he must have thought of countermeasures and would never put everyone in danger.
You know, Yi Lian and Fang Yufei are both here, how can he take risks!
This possibility is not even ruled out. This is just a performance under the premise of ensuring safety!
In the blink of an eye, everyone was wearing body armor and retreating to the edge of the entertainment area.
At the same time, Marvin and the others also assembled and debugged the endoscopic detector.
"Sean, we're ready to go"
Marvin turned around and said.
Xiao Ran nodded immediately and continued:
"Okay, let's get started. Pay attention to safety and use explosion-proof police shields for protection."
Afterwards, Nick stood up and stepped out, picking up a body armor and putting it on.
Another armed security team member stepped forward to take his place and perform this task together with Marvin.
As Marvin turned on the high-definition camera and endoscope detector, the Steinway piano placed next to the wall immediately appeared on the large-screen TV in the entertainment area.
Immediately afterwards, Marvin and the others walked to the side of the Steinway grand, first carefully opened and supported the top cover, and began to observe the situation inside the piano.
Following his movements, the situation inside the Steinway Grand Triangle immediately appeared on the live TV screen.
At the same time, Xiao Ran also took out his iPad, went online to find the internal structure diagram of the Steinway Grand Triangle, and started to control it remotely.
Looking from top to bottom, the internal structure of this Steinway Grand Triangle is intact and no problems can be seen.
Under Xiao Ran's command, Marvin and the others took high-definition cameras and photographed the inside of the piano from above, but found nothing.
Xiao Ran carefully compared and inspected the internal structure of the piano, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Marvin, squat down or lie on the floor and take a look at the bottom of this piano and see if you can find anything."
Before the words were spoken, Marvin and the others took action.
The next moment, the bottom of the Steinway piano appeared on the TV screen.
As Marvin and the others slowly moved the high-definition camera, the details of the bottom of the piano were revealed to everyone bit by bit.
When the high-definition camera came directly under the last soundboard of the piano, Xiao Ran suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"Did you see it? Marvin, there seems to be a gap at the end of the piano, but there shouldn't be any gap there."
"Point the high-definition camera at that location and let me see what's going on there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Marvin's excited voice could be heard.
"Yes, Sean, there is a slight crack here!"
