Before the two gypsy female thieves could approach, Xiao Ran had already noticed their intention.
He immediately turned to look at the two female thieves and cursed in a low voice in French:
"Go away, don't come near me!"
"Don't embarrass me in front of me with all your shenanigans!"
The French spoken from his mouth has a very pure pronunciation, and it is completely the accent of a local Parisian.
This relies on Elaine's teachings and Xiao Ran's genius-like amazing learning ability.
Hearing his curse, the two gypsy female thieves immediately stopped.
They instantly recognized that the white boy in front of them was a local in Paris, not a tourist from out of town.
After confirming this, the two gypsy female thieves immediately turned around and left without any embarrassment.
For these people, their targets generally do not include local Parisians.
If you attack locals in Paris, you are likely to get into big trouble once you are caught, and the police will handle the case more seriously.
If the targets are people from other provinces or foreign tourists, even if they are caught, the police will turn a blind eye and release them soon.
After the two gypsy female thieves returned to their companions, they immediately told them in a low voice that Xiao Ran was a native of Paris.
Confirming this, the other gypsy female thieves are just asking for trouble!
In addition, those Arab thieves and black thieves soon received the news and stopped paying attention to Xiao Ran!
After driving away the two gypsy female thieves, Xiao Ran continued to see through the situation on the third floor of the red building.
On the third floor of the Red Building, there are many antique furniture from China stored, and most of them are from the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, with average value!
However, hidden among this batch of antique furniture are two red sandalwood four-head official hat chairs from the Ming Dynasty.
And there is another secret hidden in a mahogany cabinet from the mid-Qing Dynasty.
It was a freehand flower-and-bird painting hidden in the mezzanine of the cabinet. It was a work by the famous Ming Dynasty painter Xu Wei.
More importantly, this is a famous painting recorded in the "Shiqu Baoji" and passed down in an orderly manner.
This freehand flower-and-bird painting was originally kept in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the early years of the Republic of China that it was dispersed among the people, and then disappeared!
Who could have imagined that this painting would actually fall into the hands of Lu Qinzhai, and he would hide it in this antique furniture from the mid-Qing Dynasty!
What surprised Xiao Ran was this freehand flower-and-bird painting by Xu Wei and the pair of late Ming Dynasty red sandalwood four-head official hat chairs!
Apart from these treasures, there are no other surprising discoveries on the third floor of the Red Building.
Although there are several secret compartments on the third floor of the Red Building, there is nothing in them. Every secret compartment is empty!
Xiao Ran also discovered something on the next four and five floors, but they could only be regarded as a few small surprises.
These new discoveries are incomparable to Xu Wei's paintings.
After inspecting the buildings on the ground through perspective, Xiao Ran looked at the basement of the Red Building.
What then appeared in his eyes was a large number of antique artifacts from India, filling almost every room in the basement.
Although there are a large number of these Indian antiques, they are not very valuable. They can only be regarded as ordinary antiques, but they have an exotic feel, which is somewhat interesting.
In the basement of the red building, Xiao Ran discovered several more secret compartments and a safe.
There was nothing in those secret rooms, but there were several valuable antiques stored in that vault!
Among them are bronzes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as a Buddha head, several pieces of fine porcelain, and several paintings and calligraphy works by famous artists!
This may be one of the few treasures that Lu Qinzhai passed down to his descendants and has not been sold off. It is not easy to preserve it to this day!
If the situation does not change, I believe that these remaining treasures will be sold out before long!
After quickly grasping the situation in the basement, Xiao Ran looked at the ground in the basement and began to explore the situation deep underground.
The next moment, his sight penetrated directly through the ground and began to extend deep underground.
Unfortunately, within the scope of the clairvoyance power, there were only tamped earth and rocks, and no other discoveries.
Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze and looked at another place.
What appeared in his eyes this time was still the same picture as before, only land and rocks.
The next few places all have the same scene.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran's sight had reached a room on the north side of the basement, once again penetrating deep underground!
The picture that appeared in his eyes this time was finally different!
When his sight penetrated to a depth of about three meters underground, a dark secret passage spiraling downward suddenly appeared in Xiao Ran's field of vision!
The moment he saw this secret underground passage, a smile flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
This is the surprise Ryoko said before that she found under the red building!
Using deep ground-penetrating radar detection, they learned that there was a very secret underground space about seven meters deep beneath the Red Building.
The area of this underground space is not large, only about thirty square meters, and it is square.
Judging from the shape of the underground space, it is obviously an artificially constructed secret underground space, not a naturally formed underground cave!
However, no one knows what is hidden in this secret underground space, or is it still empty!
Since they were unable to enter the basement of the Red Building to explore, nor could they scan with a pulse metal detector, the third team did not obtain the most accurate detection data!
The result is that everyone can only speculate and analyze based on the detected data!
Since the secret passage is a spiral staircase downwards, Xiao Ran's sight cannot penetrate deep into the secret space more than seven meters underground!
His line of sight extended down less than three meters along the spiral staircase, and he could no longer move forward, so he had no choice but to retract his line of sight!
But this is enough, enough for Xiao Ran to make up his mind!
When he discovered that the secret passage was built during the same period as the Red Mansion.
The period of being sealed was after the 1940s and 1950s, and he made a decision immediately.
You must buy the entire Red Building, and then find a way to obtain permission from the Paris City Hall and the French Ministry of Culture to start exploring the Red Building.
Even if there is nothing in that secret underground space, the risk is well worth taking!
Not to mention anything else, the big and small surprises hidden in the several floors above ground and in the vault are enough to cover the cost of purchasing the red building, and it is more than enough!
The Red Building itself is a cultural heritage with great value and can be upgraded into a better Oriental Museum!
From this point of view, instead of losing money on this transaction, you can actually make a lot of money!
After confirming this, Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze and looked at other places in the basement, continuing to see through.
Next, he found no more surprises.
In the blink of an eye, he had seen through the entire red building and the depths of the underground, and he had a complete picture.
Then, he left the Red Building and walked towards another historical building nearby.
That historical building was also built by Lu Qinzhai, and it was built at the same time as the Red Building. It was just a neoclassical building, not a Chinese-style building!
When the third exploration team came here to explore before, they also discovered some surprising things deep underground in that historical building!
As for what those surprises are, it is not yet certain, and further exploration is needed.
Soon, Xiao Ran came to the downstairs of the neoclassical building and started secret exploration again!
He acted like an architecture enthusiast admiring this historical building!
