Within the depth that can be seen through perspective, the basement is all solid solid ground, and there are no hidden tunnels or secret rooms.
Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere in the basement.
The results were the same, and there were no surprising findings.
He had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and look at the garden in the front yard of the villa.
The situation is the same underground in the front yard garden. There is no such thing as an underground secret room.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had explored the front of the villa and found nothing.
The only discovery was the broken stone tablet stored in the vault.
Next, he walked straight to the side of the villa and continued his perspective exploration.
After a while, he was outside the back garden of the villa.
Compared with the front of the villa, the scenery in the back garden is more beautiful and artistic.
In the back garden, Lu Qinzhai imitated Jiangnan gardens and built a small landscape. He also dug a goldfish pond and raised many goldfish.
The reason why it is said that this was built by Lu Qinzhai and not by his descendants.
This is because this landscape was built in the 1940s, and only some repairs were made later. The overall layout has not changed and still maintains its original appearance.
It can be seen that although Lu Qinzhai's descendants all grew up in France and received Western education.
But they knew what beauty was and the value of this small courtyard, so they did not destroy this courtyard.
Seeing the scenery in the backyard, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Of course, he simply liked this exquisite courtyard.
After a moment's pause, he began to see through.
From this angle, he once again looked into the situation in the villa, but found nothing.
The situation in the basement is the same, no different from what we saw before.
After exploring the situation in the villa through perspective, Xiao Ran began to explore this exquisite Chinese courtyard.
He did not miss the ground, lawn, pond, rockery and other places in the courtyard, and looked through them one by one.
When his sight penetrated into a rockery and underground, he suddenly paused.
Then, a look of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.
More than five meters deep under the rockery, an unusually thick secret door suddenly appeared.
The secret door was made of reinforced concrete and was extremely heavy and strong.
Behind the underground secret door is a secret passage about 1.8 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, sloping downward, twisting and turning, leading directly to the depths of the underground.
The walls and vaults of the underground tunnel are also made of reinforced concrete and are very strong, like an underground fortress.
Unfortunately, it is limited by perspective distance.
Xiao Ran couldn't see the situation deeper in the secret passage, or couldn't see it for the time being.
Now he can see up to a depth of six and a half meters underground, and there is nothing he can do any deeper.
Even so, what he can see now is enough for him to make a judgment.
Judging from the construction traces of the secret door and the secret passage behind it, this secret building deep underground should have been built in the mid-to-late 1940s.
In other words, Lu Qinzhai started building these underground buildings in secret soon after he bought this small manor.
At that time, the small manor was still relatively large and surrounded by walls and trees, so these improvements were not discovered.
Later, Lu Qinzhai moved away from here and moved to Cannes to recuperate.
In order to prevent the secrets hidden here from being discovered, this hidden underground building was completely buried.
Then a beautiful Chinese-style courtyard was built on it to hide people's eyes and ears.
What is hidden in this underground building is currently unknown.
Only by finding a way to enter and explore can you know the answer.
Combining Lu Qinzhai's cautious character and some actions and whereabouts in the 1940s and 1950s, it is basically certain.
This very secretive underground building will definitely not be empty, and there must be many antiques and works of art hidden there.
These antiques and works of art are most likely the treasures he brought to Paris from New York but disappeared in the end.
Even if not all of the antique artifacts and artworks are hidden here, at least most of them are.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly became more excited.
"I finally found it. From now on, these treasures belong to me!"
After cheering secretly, Xiao Ran immediately shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere in the back garden.
In this exquisite back garden, several surveillance cameras are installed to monitor the situation in the garden.
Xiao Ran stood outside the fence and looked at the situation in the garden, and his actions were all captured by the surveillance camera.
For safety reasons, he did not dare to stare at one place for a long time.
In that case, people might see some doubts, which would be troublesome.
He found no other secrets elsewhere in the back garden or deep underground.
Next, he stood outside the fence and admired the scenery of the back garden for a while, then took out his mobile phone and took a few photos in a serious manner.
Then he left the back door of the villa and walked towards the side of the villa to continue his observation and exploration.
In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes have passed.
After exploring the villa of the Lu Qinzhai family, Xiao Ran looked at the surrounding scenery again, and then came to Louis' villa.
As Louis said before, this villa looks newer and is in good condition.
But compared to the Lu Qinzhai family's villa, this country villa is much smaller, and the construction quality is not as good as the Lu Qinzhai family's villa.
As for the intrinsic value, the difference is even greater!
However, Xiao Ran made the decision to buy this villa!
Not only this villa, but also several other adjacent villas, he was also prepared to buy together.
The land where these villas are located once belonged to Lu Qinzhai's small manor.
Xiao Ran was not sure of the specific area and direction of the hidden building located deep underground.
Just in case, he could only buy these villas to avoid being taken advantage of by others.
Arriving at the door of Louis' villa, he first looked at the villa and its surroundings, and then gently pressed the doorbell.
Almost at the same time as the doorbell rang, Louis opened the door and walked out.
Obviously, the old man had been standing at the window staring at Xiao Ran's every move, and he couldn't wait to do it.
In a moment, Louis had arrived at the door of the small courtyard, reached out and opened the wooden door.
"Come in, Arthur. Welcome to visit my home. My wife has just made coffee. You can have a taste."
"There are some old friends at home who are neighbors living in the village. I hope you don't mind."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
The old man was very cautious, and to ensure safety, he called some friends and neighbors to come over and act as witnesses.
In this way, even if he has evil intentions, he would not dare to do anything bad in front of so many people.
Xiao Ran looked at the old French man, then smiled and nodded.
"This villa of yours is very nice, Louis, I like it very much"
“I’m also looking forward to meeting your family and friends and drinking a few cups of delicious coffee.”
After saying that, he followed Louis into the country villa.
Before entering, he looked through the country house as usual.
In the living room of the villa, several old French men were sitting on the sofa, looking at themselves through the window, their eyes full of curiosity.
A woman in her sixties was busy in the kitchen, making coffee, preparing snacks, etc.
Everything is normal in the villa and there is no danger.
Just when Xiao Ran was about to end the perspective and look away, he suddenly paused.
The next moment, his eyes quickly penetrated into the study room on the first floor and looked at something in the study room.
