Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 601 Secret passage in the sarcophagus

The weather is fine today, the sun is shining, the temperature seems to be a few degrees higher than usual, not so cold.

Old North Church is bustling inside and outside, tourists can be seen everywhere!

At around 10:50 in the morning, many tourists are visiting the interior of the church or the Rivera Garden, taking pictures, or thinking about where and what to eat for lunch!

At this moment, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, completely tearing up the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around this famous historical building.

Hearing the siren, people immediately walked out of the church, or walked to both ends of the garden, and looked at both sides of the street with their heads. Everyone's eyes were full of doubts and a bit of worry!

"What happened? There are so many police cars, it sounds like they are coming towards the church!"

"I don't know, nothing happened around here! Maybe the police made a big fuss, and these guys have already become frightened birds! Even something big can make a big noise!"

Amidst the discussion, two huge Bearcat armored vehicles rushed into everyone's field of vision from east to west, and the word FBI on the body was very conspicuous!

Followed by more than a dozen Taurus police cars, all with the words FBI printed on the body.

Not to mention, two helicopters roared from the sky. From the identification on the fuselage, it can be seen that one is an FBI police helicopter and the other is an interview helicopter of NBC TV station.

After flying over the Old North Church, the two helicopters hovered over a hundred meters in the air. The roar of the huge engines shocked everyone near the Old North Church.

From west to east on Hanover Avenue, several police cars also drove at high speed, and the sirens were extremely harsh!

While speeding, these police cars signaled through loudspeakers for vehicles along the way to stop or change lanes, causing Hanover Avenue to suddenly become chaotic.

When they were more than 20 meters away from the south entrance of Rivera Garden, they all stopped, and a dozen wheels crossed the street, directly blocking the entire Hanover Avenue.

The same goes for two other streets near Old North Church, which were promptly cordoned off by a joint police and FBI effort.

Seeing what happened in front of them, the people inside and outside the Old North Church and in the Rivera Garden were completely dumbfounded, and fear began to grow in everyone's heart!

"squeak--!"

A harsh brake sound suddenly sounded.

The huge convoy from the east stopped at the south entrance of Rivera Gardens, opposite the new church on the south side of the Old North Church.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of uniformed FBI agents swarmed out of the police cars, and many of them had anger on their faces, as if someone owed them 300 yuan and hadn't paid them back!

In addition to the uniformed FBI agents, more than a dozen heavily armed FBI special police officers poured out of the two Bearcat armored vehicles, and their faces were also very ugly.

In addition, in a few bulletproof SUVs a little further away, a dozen or so heavily armed guys came down, each carrying an automatic rifle, vicious and very sturdy!

A group of guys carrying cameras and wearing NBC TV logos appeared in people's eyes! Running towards Rivera Gardens!

What happened? Why did I not know about such a big movement?

Everyone at the scene was at a loss, they didn't understand the situation at all, but they were terrified!

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the FBI quickly gave an explanation.

"We are the FBI, here to perform official duties, please understand and cooperate, don't be nervous, don't panic, line up and leave in an orderly manner!"

Through the car amplifier, Joey's voice reached everyone's ears.

Hearing this explanation, the tourists and pedestrians at the scene were somewhat relieved.

It seems that there is no imminent danger, just leave as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, people no longer cared about admiring the famous American National Historic Landmark in front of them, and turned and left here one after another.

After two or three consecutive broadcasts, Joseph and Joey got out of the command vehicle and prepared to deploy arrest operations.

The two just got out of the car,

I saw David leading a group of people from the Fearless Exploration Company over, but Ye Tian and Mathis were not there!

After being dazed for a while, Joey immediately asked in surprise:

“David, where’s that Steven guy? Why didn’t you see him? His Paramount Predator is gone too, what the hell is going on?”

There was nothing to hide, and David immediately told the truth.

"Steven left, he is going to sneak into the underground palace through another secret passage, monitor Thompson at close range, prevent the old guy from suddenly going crazy, set a time bomb or set fire to destroy the evidence!

In addition, there are many deadly traps set up in the passage from the old North Church apartment building to the underground palace, which are very dangerous. He is going to remove them from the inside to avoid unnecessary casualties! "

Joseph and Joey were completely dumbfounded and froze in place.

After two or three seconds, the two of them woke up, and Joseph immediately said angrily:

"Is there another secret passage? The bastard Steven didn't leak a word. It's so hard to keep it from us! What a bastard, he has too many thoughts!

How many secrets does this bastard Steven have? Can't you say it all at once? It's really torturous to have to release it bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste!

You must know that there are other secret passages, let's send people to rush in through that secret passage, and catch the turtle in a urn, won't everything be solved! That would take such a lot of trouble! "

You ask me, who do I ask? I am also at a loss! God knows how many secrets that Steven guy has!

David complained secretly, but what he said was something else.

"There must be a reason why Steven didn't tell everyone that there is another secret passage, maybe because the secret passage is very dangerous, in order to avoid casualties, he didn't tell everyone.

It's also possible that he wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for Thompson, lest the old guy find himself cornered and end up with a dead end, a result that no one would want to see.

Although Steven doesn't act with everyone, he will keep in touch and inform each other of the situation to ensure the successful completion of the operation and uproot Thompson's gang!

From now on, all the people belonging to the Fearless Exploration Company on the scene will be led by Mattis and me. If you have anything to do with the FBI, you can contact us directly! "

Hearing this, what else can Joseph and Joey say, nothing to say!

"As long as we can successfully solve this case, find those stolen top antique artworks, and get rid of these art thieves who have been entrenched in Boston for 20 or 30 years and have committed many crimes!

As for that bastard Steven, let him go! To be honest, I have been in the FBI for so many years and have handled countless cases. I have never seen a more difficult guy than him! Really convinced! "

Joey rolled his eyes and said, with a helpless wry smile on his face!

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone nodded in sympathy.

...

Meanwhile, over at Old North Churchyard.

Mathis and Peter drove away in the Paramount Predator, Ye Tian walked to the depths of the cemetery alone, and disappeared behind the bushes in a blink of an eye.

This is the exclusive cemetery of the Old North Church. It is located on a small hill to the north of the church. It has existed for as long as the church. It has been two or three hundred years old. It is the oldest cemetery in Boston!

Those buried here are basically the priests of the Old North Church, with only a few exceptions, but they are somewhat related to the Old North Church.

After two to three hundred years of long time, this exclusive cemetery has been buried to the brim, and there is not much space left.

The shape of this cemetery is an inverted L shape, the main part is on the west side, enter from the east entrance and go forward for more than 20 meters, pass through a forest, and turn left to the main burial area.

There are several apartment buildings on the east and south sides of the main burial area, which happened to block the view from the direction of Charter Street, providing Ye Tian with perfect cover.

On the west side is Hall Street. Go down this street and walk one or two hundred meters south to the north gate of the Old North Church.

After turning left and entering the main burial area on the west side of the cemetery, Ye Tian immediately quickened his pace and strode forward.

As he marched, he whispered through his invisible earpiece:

"Kenny, I'm going to set up a pinhole camera. You are ready to receive the signal, and then start monitoring immediately, watching everything that happens in the cemetery, and recording everything!"

As he said that, he quickly took out a well-adjusted pinhole camera, and stuffed it into the crack of a big tree by the side of the road, facing the cobblestone road he was on.

"Okay, Steven, the signal has been received, the picture is quite clear, and the angle of view is also very good, don't worry, I will record everything that happens in the cemetery, nothing will be missed!"

Kenny's voice came from the earphones, very excited to hear it!

"Okay, remember what I just said, the surveillance footage here must not be leaked!"

Ye Tian instructed again, and conveniently arranged a pinhole camera.

During the march, he quickly installed four or five pinhole cameras to completely monitor the area, with almost no monitoring dead spots.

After walking more than twenty meters, Ye Tian came to an ancient tombstone.

This is the oldest tomb in the cemetery. From the text information on the tombstone, it can be seen that the first pastor who died after the completion of the Old North Church was buried here, and he was the first resident of this cemetery.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Old North Church put a lot of thought into building this tomb. The entire tomb, from the tombstone to the chamber, is made of granite, which is very strong!

Although it has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, the tomb is still quite well preserved, the handwriting on the tombstone is clearly legible, the tomb is also very complete, and there are not many damaged places!

But Ye Tian knew very well in his heart that this tomb was just a cover, a fake tomb specially built to cover up the secret passage leading to the underground palace of the Old North Church!

The skeleton in the sarcophagus in the tomb may not necessarily be the priest with the name engraved on the tombstone. God knows where the skeleton was found, and it was used to cover up the number and deceive people!

Undoubtedly, this is a very ingeniously conceived secret passage exit, and it is extremely difficult to be discovered. The fact that no one has discovered the underground palace after two or three hundred years is the best proof.

The last time Ye Tian came here along the secret passage from the underground palace, and after looking through the outside, he found that the exit was actually in a tomb, which surprised him a lot.

Because it is extremely secretive and almost impossible to be discovered, Thompson was very relieved and did not do anything here.

There are no pinhole cameras, no highly sensitive electronic sensors, and no deadly traps, everything remains the same! This is undoubtedly the best camouflage!

But it's a pity that you met a buddy.

Under the perspective, everything is invisible!

Ye Tian chuckled, squatted down and hid a pinhole camera in the weeds at the corner of the tombstone. The location was very hidden, and it was extremely difficult to be noticed.

Then, he turned his head and looked around.

Apart from myself, there was no one around. The sight of people in the apartment buildings on both sides was blocked by the tall trees in the cemetery, so there was no need to worry.

Besides, the attention of the people in the apartment building was all attracted by the sound of sirens from the Old North Church at this time. Who would pay attention to this cemetery!

After confirming the safety, Ye Tian took two steps forward, went around behind the tombstone, squatted down with his back against the tombstone, and stretched out his hand to push away the stone slab covering the tomb.

Under the stone slab is a rectangular tomb, about five or six square meters, the space is not small!

In the middle of the tomb is a gray granite sarcophagus with some religious patterns carved on it! It looks very quaint!

That is the entrance to the secret passage, leading directly to the underground palace of the Old North Church!

After opening the tomb, Ye Tian didn't enter immediately, the air inside needs to be convected, after all, it is a tomb that has been closed for many years! Who knows what's in the air!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands, then lightly jumped into the tomb, and quickly restored the stone slab above his head to its original shape.

In an instant, he disappeared from this cemetery, as if he had never appeared before, leaving no traces, except for those pinhole cameras.

Kenny and Byrne, who saw this scene on the surveillance screen, couldn't help but exclaimed wildly.

They didn't see Ye Tian pushing the stone slab away, they only saw him walking behind the tombstone and then disappearing. Of course they were horrified!

Two or three seconds after Ye Tian disappeared, Cook led five of his men into the surveillance range of the pinhole camera and appeared on the surveillance screen!

Seeing this scene, Kenny immediately reminded through the invisible headset:

"Steven, that bastard Cook is following you, with four or five men, be careful!"

"Hahaha, let them follow, I like these guys!"

Ye Tian sneered and said, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

After the words fell, he had already put an outdoor headlamp on his head and turned on the switch casually.

The tomb, which was originally pitch black and where you couldn't see your fingers, immediately lit up.

After getting used to the light for a while, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward, holding the front of the gray sarcophagus with both hands, and pushed the heavy sarcophagus to the side with all his strength!

"Ka Ka Ka"

With a slight sound of mechanism turning, the front of the sarcophagus began to slowly move clockwise.

The next moment, a dark hole immediately appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes, and it became bigger and bigger!
