Seeing Matthew and the others starting to make preparations, Henry and Connell, who were standing aside, suddenly became a little anxious.
They came straight to Xiao Ran and whispered dissatisfiedly:
"Sean, didn't we already agree to jointly explore and dig this underground tunnel? Our people haven't arrived yet, why did your people take the lead in taking action?"
"That's not appropriate, isn't it? We signed a tripartite agreement. You can't break the agreement you signed in the morning, right?"
Xiao Ran looked at these two guys, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, I think you should not blame us for taking the lead in taking action, but you should first find the reason from yourself."
"Your work efficiency is really low. It's been so long and your joint exploration team hasn't even arrived yet."
"Is it possible that your joint exploration team members are enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea, but all of us are waiting for them here?"
"You know, the workload of exploring and digging this underground tunnel is not small. The sooner you start, the better. I don't want to delay it for several days."
"Don't worry, we will not start digging immediately. Instead, we will carefully explore the garden again and determine the excavation plan."
Following his words, Henry and Cornell's old faces both turned red.
You know your own affairs best.
Being French, of course they know how lazy the French are.
Even something as exciting as joint exploration of treasures may not make a group of French people become diligent.
Henry and Connell looked at each other, then nodded helplessly and said:
"Okay, Sean, you're right. Our people are indeed moving too slowly. I'll call those lazy guys right away."
"Your people can carry out preliminary exploration work and formulate exploration and excavation plans, but it is best to limit it to this apartment building."
"According to the agreement, the exploration work on the street behind the garden and the building diagonally across the street should be ours."
After the words fell, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course there is no problem, Henry, we will not violate the cooperation agreement, but I also hope that you can improve efficiency."
Henry and Cornell nodded together, then walked aside to make a phone call.
As soon as the call was connected, the two guys started cursing into the phone.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran and the others couldn't help laughing.
On the other side, Matthew and the others have taken out their pulse metal detectors and deep ground-penetrating radar and begun further exploration.
In order to determine the location, direction, structure, etc. of this tunnel deep underground, prepare for the next step of excavation.
As the exploration begins, the garden is soon filled with the sweet chirp of pulsing metal detectors.
The detection results were no different from before. There were many metal objects hidden in this underground tunnel.
What exactly are these metal objects? Only by digging this underground tunnel can we know the result.
As for the depth of this underground tunnel, it is located more than six meters underground.
Although the depth is not shallow, excavation does not seem to be difficult.
It took about twenty minutes for Matthew and the others to quickly scan the entire garden.
They did not explore the street behind the apartment building or the Paris-owned building diagonally across the street.
After the scan was completed, Matthew and another company employee came closer and began to report the situation to Xiao Ran.
"Sean, the situation of this underground tunnel is no different from what we explored before."
"This underground tunnel has no trace of being broken into and remains in its original condition. You can rest assured about this."
Hearing this, Carlin and Henry felt speechless for a while, and both complained secretly angrily.
"You bastard, it turned out that you didn't trust us and were afraid that we would secretly dig this underground tunnel, so you let your employees take the lead in exploring. What a cunning bastard."
While they were complaining secretly, Matthew and the others were still reporting on the situation.
"Both ends of this secret underground passage have been blocked. Although this secret passage deep underground in the garden is short, it contains the most metal objects."
"When we previously explored the secret passage deep underground in the street outside, we found that there were relatively few metal objects in that secret passage, but the secret passage outside was longer."
Next, they briefly introduced the situation.
No one knows the situation of this underground tunnel better than Xiao Ran.
He had already used his clairvoyance ability to see this corridor clearly and unobstructedly.
After listening to Matthew's report and pretending to think about it, Xiao Ran said:
"The depth of this underground tunnel is almost the same as the entrance to the underground tunnel of Napoleon's treasure, and no traces of traps were found above the tunnel."
"In view of this, I think we can use the same excavation method as the entrance to Napoleon's treasure. Use an excavator to excavate from directly above the corridor, and then enter the corridor to explore."
"You can drive an excavator into the garden, wait for the guys from the Louvre and the Sorbonne to come here, and then start digging, so as not to get in trouble from those guys."
After the words fell, Matthew immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, let's get ready."
Then, he turned around and left to make arrangements.
At this moment, Carlin's secretary rushed here and delivered the permission documents from the relevant municipal departments.
With this document in hand, the joint exploration team can start an exploration and excavation operation in the street behind the apartment building and deep underground in the street.
Immediately afterwards, those guys from the joint exploration team of the Louvre Museum and Sorbonne University finally arrived here.
After receiving the notification, Xiao Ran asked his security team members to carefully check everyone's identity and conduct full body security checks one by one.
After making sure there was no problem, the French guys were allowed to enter the apartment building and then the restaurant.
There are a total of twelve people in this joint exploration team, six people each from the Louvre Museum and the Sorbonne University.
Pierre did not join this exploration team, but gave the opportunity to other colleagues.
Everyone, including himself, knew that as long as he wanted to participate in this joint exploration operation, he could come to the site at any time and no one would stop him.
In this case, the Louvre will naturally not waste a place in vain.
The six people from the Louvre range in age from thirty to more than fifty years old. Four of them, in their forties and fifties, are top archaeologists or appraisal experts.
The other two guys were only in their early thirties, so they naturally worked hard.
As for those guys at the Sorbonne, there are three historians and three doctoral students.
After greeting each other and getting to know each other, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation.
Fang Yufei, who was standing aside, handed over the relevant data detected to these French guys.
Seeing these detailed exploration materials, these French guys' eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
Immediately afterwards, an archaeologist from the Louvre said impatiently:
"Mr. Sean, let's start taking action. Based on the analysis of various data you have detected, there must be many secrets hidden in this underground tunnel."
"You discovered the Robespierre treasure here before, which rewrote some of the history of France. This underground tunnel is most likely related to the Jacobins, which is very exciting."
Before he finished speaking, several other French guys immediately agreed.
Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised to see these French guys suddenly become so active and eager to start excavation operations immediately.
Are these guys really those French guys who just stayed away and just enjoyed life? It's another group of people.
Just as Xiao Ran was muttering to himself, one of his employees drove an excavator into the garden.
