Chapter 1282 A Ridiculous Painting

After putting the bedside table and chair back to their original places, Shi Lei put the rocking chair back to the original place.

Then, Shi Lei checked the rocking chair. There was almost only one point where the footrests under the rocking chair touched the floor.

This rocking chair is slightly different from the usual ones.

The general rocking chair has two footrests, under the armrests on the left and right sides, which are the footrests.

But this rocking chair has only one footrest under it, and its bottom is designed to be a hemisphere, so that it can also make the rocking chair rock.

However, in addition to rocking, this design has another function, that is, this rocking chair can rotate like a compass.

And, Shi Lei saw an arrow on the back of the chair as he expected.

This arrow is hidden in the middle of the pattern on the back of the chair. It is not conspicuous, but it obviously has the function of guiding the direction.

Sitting on the rocking chair, Shi Lei took out his mobile phone and turned on the compass function in the mobile phone.

Sure enough, the compass on the phone was affected by a certain magnetic field and could not point to the north and south correctly, but turned strangely.

This shows that at this moment, the magnetic field in this room has undergone a strange change, and there is more than one source of magnetic force, which caused the confusion of the magnetic field, making the compass unable to find the north at all.

Standing up again, Shi Lei gently moved the rocking chair, and sure enough, the rocking chair turned.

It didn't take Shi Lei too long for the rocking chair to stop, and the back of the chair happened to point to the bedroom window.

Shi Lei walked to the window and looked out. The sky was already quite bright at this moment, but Shi Lei did not find anything strange outside the window.

Because, outside that window is the location of the winery's vineyard. Even if it is the location of the winemaking workshop, Shi Lei would think that it might be the location where the biggest secret of this castle is hidden.

But the vineyard is obviously unlikely.

After all, the ground in the grape field needs to be hoeed every year. If the secret passage is hidden under the grape field as the record in the notebook says, the secret passage would have collapsed many times.

Shi Lei returned to the rocking chair and turned it again, and it stopped soon.

But this time, the position pointed by the back of the chair was no longer the window.

Shi Lei turned it several times in a row, and the back of the chair was not pointing in the same direction, which seemed to indicate that Shi Lei's thinking was wrong.

However, Shi Lei had obviously noticed the location of the mechanism in this room, so how could he get such a random result?

Is it because of insufficient weight?

Shi Lei weighs more than 130 kilograms. He immediately moved the bedside table and some other things and pressed them on the rocking chair to make up for his weight.

Then, he turned the rocking chair again, but the direction pointed by the arrow on the back of the chair was still pointing to different positions three times in a row.

Shi Lei fell into an unattainable situation again. Could it be that his judgment was really wrong?

After thinking carefully and pondering more seriously, Shi Lei wanted to know where he had missed something.

He remembered the parchment notebook he had seen before, which seemed to have nothing that could help Shi Lei.

He recalled the tablet computer he had seen before, and there was nothing on the documents in the tablet that could help Shi Lei...

Shi Lei was depressed because he had found nothing.

He had obviously found the problem, but he was stuck at the last juncture, and Shi Lei was very unwilling.

There must be something strange in this room, otherwise, what is going on with this chaotic magnetic field?

But Shi Lei has studied this room for a long time, and the reason for the chaotic magnetic field can only be in the middle of the surrounding walls, and it is controlled by the pressure device on the floor under the rocking chair.

Only when the weight is enough and pressed on the floor can the magnetic field in the room change, and the change in the magnetic field eventually causes the rocking chair to rock on its own.

The function of this rocking chair is to indicate the direction of the entrance to the secret passage, but why does the rocking chair point to a different direction every time?

After studying for a long time, Shi Lei still couldn't find the final answer, but he heard Andre talking to someone outside the door.

Shi Lei looked at the time, and found that more than three hours had passed without him noticing. It was already past nine in the morning.

He washed his face and walked out of the room. Anyway, he and Andre were now friends, and there were many opportunities to enter the castle, so he was not in a hurry to find the answer immediately.

Seeing Shi Lei coming out of the room, Andre immediately smiled and greeted him, speaking a lot of French. Shi Lei didn't understand, but roughly judged that Andre meant to invite him to breakfast.

The two went downstairs and had breakfast together. The beautiful translator from yesterday came again. Andre asked her to tell Shi Lei that he was going to take Shi Lei to the wine cellar today. He had a lot of private collections there. No matter what kind of wine Shi Lei liked, he could open it and drink it directly.

That's true. He was willing to give up even the 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. There was nothing else he couldn't bear to give up.

Shi Lei didn't want to leave. He was worried that Andre would not continue to entertain him. Now that Andre took the initiative to ask, it meant that Shi Lei could continue to stay in the winery, which of course he was more than happy to do.

When they went to the wine cellar, Andre took the trouble to introduce his collection to Shi Lei. There were so many varieties, and each bottle was worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Shi Lei was also a little absent-minded about this. At least at this time, he was not very interested in these fine wines.

Shi Lei made an excuse and said that it was too early and he didn't want to drink so early. Andre took Shi Lei to leave the wine cellar.

Just as the two and the beautiful translator were about to leave, the beautiful translator suddenly bumped into an oak barrel.

Shi Lei was closer and hurriedly supported the beautiful translator.

The beautiful translator expressed his gratitude repeatedly, but Andre took the initiative to help the oak barrel that was knocked over by the beautiful translator.

It was at this time that Shi Lei suddenly saw something that looked like a picture frame behind the oak barrels.

He took two steps over and grabbed the picture frame and took it out.

After seeing it, Andre smiled and said, "This is a painting that was originally hung in the room where you slept yesterday. I originally left that room to my father. After he came once, he saw this painting and thought it was too ridiculous, so he asked me to take it down from the room. Although this painting is quite old, probably from the 17th or 18th century, the brushwork is poor, and it should be a painting by an ordinary person, so I threw it here."

Shi Lei picked up the painting, took a look, but was slightly stunned.

The picture frame actually depicted the situation in the room where Shi Lei slept yesterday, almost exactly the same, except for the placement of the rocking chair.

And, just by taking a look, Shi Lei understood why Andre's father said that this painting was too ridiculous, because, in this painting, the rocking chair was actually hanging on the roof.

When the painting was turned over, the rocking chair seemed to be placed on the roof, stable, while all the other furniture in the room were upside down.

Found it!
