Chapter 1289 Exposed
“Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
In this regard, Chen Jiaju is quite confident.
The reason why Chen Jiaju is confident is that in addition to Zhang Pin supporting him with a batch of advanced equipment and Yang Jianhua's detailed intelligence support, more importantly, he is also very capable.
No, I am standing in a castle-style villa on the first floor that is nearly five meters high.
Chen Jiaju did not go to the second floor through the stairs, but came from the opposite direction. First he stepped on the table, then quickly stretched out his hands to grab the lamp hanging on the wall, and then with a hard pull, his body was hung on the wall. .
Then he stepped on the wall with both feet, and then repeated the same trick, reaching out and grabbing a decoration on the top. After two consecutive times, Chen Jiaju's feet were firmly planted on the corridor on the second floor.
This time, because he came in to steal something, Chen Jiaju rarely remembered the layout of the villa.
So after he made sure that there was no one on the second floor, he quickly walked through the corridor and came to the empty and tall study room.
But at this time, Chen Jiaju's good luck also ran out.
As soon as he entered the study, before he could take the next step, footsteps came from the corridor at the door.
"Hurry and clean the study, Baron Martin is about to bring guests in."
When footsteps sounded, the voice of the staff also came from the door.
Hearing what the other party said, Chen Jiaju's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Because according to Yang Jianhua's intelligence information, the animal heads and other shady collections collected by Baron Martin were hidden in the study.
However, although these study rooms are spacious, apart from various collections of books, there are only some decorations or calligraphy and paintings for the same collection. Naturally, it is inconvenient to hide in such an open place.
Now that there are people outside the door, Chen Jiaju is naturally in a dilemma.
Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Chen Jiaju ignored other thoughts and stepped directly on the table in the study room, then accelerated in three or two steps, and soon rushed to the wall.
Thanks to the rich collection of books in the study, and the fact that the floor height of the villa is much higher than that of ordinary houses.
So there is a wooden ladder installed in the middle of the walls on both sides of the study.
The ladder is obviously used to facilitate the removal of books from higher levels.
After Chen Jiaju climbed up the ladder, he immediately lay down on the ladder, hoping to temporarily avoid the attention of the staff.
Just when Chen Jiaju lay down, the study door was pushed open, and then three or four staff members dressed as maids walked in.
They moved very quickly and began to clean and wipe the study floor, tables and chairs.
“Hey, why is there a footprint on this table?”
At this moment, a staff member responsible for cleaning the desk discovered something unusual.
On the table that Chen Jiaju stepped on just now, there was a dust rubbing, a very clear footprint.
Hearing the words of the staff below, Chen Jiaju suddenly broke out in a lot of cold sweat on his body surrounded by a face towel, and then he quickly looked at his gloved hands and soles of his feet.
At this sight, Chen Jiaju was immediately shocked.
Because I don’t know when, his brand new night clothes were stained with a lot of dust.
"Oops, I probably rubbed it against the wall when I climbed up to the second floor."
Chen Jiaju immediately knew what the problem was.
This castle-shaped villa is very large, although Baron Martin hired a lot of staff to take care of the sanitation of the villa.
However, due to the height of the villa, the surrounding walls are very high, and it is difficult to clean them easily with ordinary tools.
In addition, these walls are not usually touched by anyone, so they are often cleaned only during general cleaning.
As a result, it is inevitable that some dust will accumulate in normal times.
Chen Jiaju was unlucky this time. No one had cleaned the wall for a while, so he was unfortunately hit.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiaju's heartbeat accelerated. Just when he was considering whether to run away directly or something, the words of another staff member below made him feel lucky.
"Hurry up and clean up the dust. If the Baron knows that there is so much dust in the villa, we will all be unemployed. Please check carefully and make sure there are no traces of dust left behind."
It turns out that Baron Martin has very high requirements for his staff on weekdays.
So now when these people see dust appearing in the room, their first reaction is not to think about the cause of the dust, but to immediately remove the traces.
“There are them on the floor too!”
“There are them on this table too!”
“There are them on the walls too”
“Oops, there won’t be them in the attic in the middle too. ”
Several staff members soon discovered dust from the doorways to the walls, and there was even concern that it was in the attic.
Then a staff member went around to the stairs and prepared to go up the stairs to the middle ladder.
Chen Jiaju's heart was almost beating out of his throat at this time. He was even halfway up and ready to jump down and escape.
"The baron is here with his guests, hurry out."
But just when he was halfway up, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature to Chen Jiaju sounded in his ears .
Then several staff members who were cleaning in the study quickly left, including of course the staff member who was about to climb up the middle ladder to check if there was any dust.
However, when a few people left and closed the study door, Chen Jiaju did not breathe a sigh of relief.
Because several staff members just made it clear that Baron Martin will bring guests to the study soon.
Chen Jiaju is lying here now. In fact, if someone observes carefully, he will be exposed easily.
So he stood up quickly and observed the entire study.
He first ruled out the location under the study, because there was no hiding place except for a few desks and chairs.
So he could only focus on the wall of the study room.
At this glance, Chen Jiaju's eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw a very large oil painting not far from him.
The content above is none other than the Last Supper.
So Chen Jiaju first patted the dust on his body, then took out two adsorption tools, tied them firmly to himself, then held the tools with both hands, pressed them directly against the wall, and then moved towards the oil painting near.
After approaching the oil painting, he quickly pressed his body close to the guy on the left with his head probed, and then clasped his hands tightly on the wall with the help of adsorption tools.
I have to say that due to the size of the oil painting, Chen Jiaju’s whole body just overlaps with the body of the person next to him.
In addition, he is located above the entrance to the study, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find him.
Click——
Just when Chen Jiaju hung himself on the wall, the door of the study room was opened again.
Then Baron Martin came in with a man.
"Miss Zhang, what I want you to study is a painting I recently acquired." Baron Martin walked in with a woman, and then introduced his study room while pointing Saying something to a picture on the wall.
Seeing Baron Martin and the woman next to him going from picture to picture, Chen Jiaju’s heartbeat became faster and faster, and the cold sweat on his forehead and back did not stop. Pass.
Because according to the way the other person is acting, we will soon see his painting.
And with his current disguise, as long as the other party looks over, he will definitely be able to spot Chen Jiaju.
Precisely because he was too nervous about this situation, Chen Jiaju's physical exertion was increasing. As a result, his body began to tremble even when he was hanging on the wall.
And because he was sweating all the time, even though the tights he wore were sweat-absorbent, as the sweat increased, Chen Jiaju's gloved hands began to slip.
"Damn, damn, damn! It's over, it's over, it's over!"
Chen Jiaju felt that his hands and feet were cold at the moment, and it was a certainty that he would be discovered.
He was not afraid of being discovered, but felt that it was a pity that he was discovered now.
After all, he hasn't even obtained the beast capital yet. If he really wants to be discovered, he will naturally have no choice but to run away.
As a result, the things he had vowed to do before Zhang Pin and Yang Jianhua that he could handle turned into bragging, and Zhang Pin would still have to help wipe his ass.
When Chen Jiaju thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the middle position of the painting of the Last Supper.
The guy standing in the middle is Jehovah, who is called God.
Chen Jiaju has never believed in the so-called gods and ghosts, but this time, he began to hope that there would really be gods or gods in the world to help him survive this disaster.
Just when Chen Jiaju began to become seriously ill and seek medical treatment, hope actually appeared.
"Baron Martin, is that a sunflower? Can I take it off and have a look? It doesn't seem to be authentic."
The woman following Baron Martin suddenly pointed to the one hanging next to him. A painting.
“What, it’s impossible, I spent 50 million US dollars to buy this. It’s definitely an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci.”
After hearing Miss Yang's words, Baron Martin suddenly became frightened and angry.
No wonder he had such a big reaction.
After all, this is a sunflower, and he paid 50 million US dollars.
Even though he is a noble and owns assets worth hundreds of millions, most of them are real estate. He originally spent 50 million US dollars to buy Sunflowers with the purpose of reselling them for profit.
If it is really confirmed that this painting is a fake, his 50 million US dollars will be wasted, and even his face will be completely lost.
The most fundamental reason why Baron Martin can own such a large villa is of course because of the legacy of his ancestors.
But similarly, relying on the legacy of his ancestors, Baron Martin's current identity is an archaeologist.
It is precisely because of this identity that Baron Martin is usually the authoritative person in the appraisal of cultural relics.
Relying on this identity, he also works part-time in the appraisal and trading of cultural relics.
But if it is revealed now that, as an authoritative person in appraising cultural relics, he bought a fake, then the authority that Baron Martin has maintained for most of his life will soon disappear.
Because of this, it is understandable that Baron Martin is so nervous.
“Let’s take it out and observe it.”
Zhang Yao saw Baron Martin so nervous, and she became a little nervous too.
As a scientific researcher, of course she cannot think as much as Baron Martin thinks. The reason why she just said this is just from a professional perspective.
But now that Baron Martin is so nervous, it actually makes her a little uncertain.
The two hurriedly took down the oil painting and then left the study.
"Huhu——"
The next second after the two people left, Chen Jiaju let out a sigh of relief, then directly let go of his hands and let himself hang on the wall. What if just now If the two of them went out a little later, Chen Jiaju might not be able to hold on anymore.
With his physical strength, he would not be so weak.
But the problem was that he was a little overwhelmed by the previous situation. He was on the verge of being discovered several times, which made him very nervous.
As a result, the pressure is naturally full, so the consumption also skyrockets, leading to Chen Jiaju's final physical exhaustion.
When Chen Jiaju let go, he actually made a little move, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
After taking a few long breaths, he grabbed the straps again and climbed up the wall.
After Chen Jiaju rearranged himself, he climbed the stairs in the middle of the study.
What happened next became simpler.
Baron Martin's study is so large that it actually has a darkroom installed.
Chen Jiaju easily cracked the darkroom's trap and found the two animal heads hidden inside.
In fact, in addition to animal heads, there are many other shady cultural relics in the darkroom.
But Chen Jiaju is an honest person after all. He came here just to get back the animal head, so he didn't touch other cultural relics.
“I got the things and I’m ready to come out now. There won’t be any problems outside.”
After getting the things, Chen Jiaju was very happy. Although there were some twists and turns in this operation, at least the goal was achieved.
So Chen Jiaju took the initiative to turn on the headset and contacted Yang Jianhua.
"I'll wait for you on the road."
When Yang Jianhua heard Chen Jiaju's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But after Chen Jiaju got the animal head, he suddenly felt a little carried away. While talking to Yang Jianhua on the phone, he walked out of the study directly.
"Who are you?"
Baron Martin looked in shock at Chen Jiaju, who was walking out of his study wearing a tights and carrying two bags on his back.
Chen Jiaju froze on the spot, and then saw Baron Martin and Zhang Yao sitting on the table at the door of the study, observing the oil paintings.
“Oops, I was discovered!”
Chen Jiaju only had time to remind Yang Jianhua, and then walked directly to the stairs, and then did not take the stairs, but sat down He slipped directly on the guardrail next to the stairs.
"Come quickly! There is a thief!"
Baron Martin shouted when he saw Chen Jiaju running away.
"Miss Zhang, please go back first. I have other things to do here!"
Then his reaction was different from that of ordinary people when they encounter a thief. He was not so panicked. On the contrary, At this time, he rolled his eyes a few times, rolled up the oil painting on the table that was basically confirmed to be a fake, and handed it directly to Zhang Yao's hand.
“You can also take this oil painting back for me and ask your teacher to help me identify it.”
