Chapter 475 Can't Escape
Virgil thought about it until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally made up his mind to enter the secret room of the villa.
Start taking the paintings out of their frames one by one.
For oil paintings, removing the frame is more risky than rolling it up.
But for Virgil, this is not a problem.
It's nothing more than being careful, not to mention that he treats these oil paintings as his wife.
68 oil paintings of different heroines are 68 lovers with different appearances, different clothes, and different ages.
Therefore, Virgil will definitely be more careful and care about these oil paintings than anyone else.
After the frame is removed, in theory, any oil painting with canvas as the base can be rolled up with the paint outside as long as it has been completely dried for more than a year.
Of course, a theory is a theory, but some inappropriate paintings are not without other means of preservation.
However, the longest of these paintings in his hands has been more than twenty years, so Virgil has long been familiar with them.
The processing is meticulous, and they are stored one by one without any mistakes. The painting barrels alone are in the painting tubes of 100 US dollars each.
Then put a paper cylinder, stick to the canvas and put it into the oil painting to prevent the rolled oil painting from collapsing.
In the end, there were still a few pieces that were not suitable for rolling, so they were carefully wrapped with kraft paper.
Then seal it with wooden boards, and it can still be put into the compartment.
After a busy night, Virgil personally drove a box car and drove to Switzerland non-stop.
But he didn't know that he started the car in the middle of the night and continued to move out the painting tube and wooden box.
It was discovered by Barney and Trenches who were staring at the villa early in the morning.
Since the two had been staring at him early in the morning, they had already installed a tracker on the box car that they brought from Virginia.
Three kilometers away, Virgil would look at the rearview mirror from time to time at the beginning, but he couldn't see the car three kilometers away at all, and he couldn't even find the headlights.
When there is more traffic in the morning, there is no need to worry about being discovered.
And Barney not only has a tracker to help, but also can use a telescope to look at the box car that is a little taller than ordinary cars from time to time.
Six hours later, the car had entered Switzerland, more than 100 kilometers away from Zurich.
Barney, who had been looking at the tracker and the map, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the driving trench, "That old thing should go to the southernmost mountains of Lake Zurich."
"That's good," Trenches heaved a sigh of relief.
In the previous time, the more they drove towards Switzerland, the more their hearts sank.
Once Virgil really drove towards downtown Zurich, the two had no choice but to risk forcing his car to stop.
Or watch him drive his car into some bank in Switzerland and lose his chance for those oil paintings forever.
After all, as far as Li Changheng is concerned, although he knows that the oil paintings in Virgil's hands are enough to hang three walls.
But he doesn't know the exact number, or even who painted those paintings, and how much they are worth.
So many do not know, of course not willing to take too much risk.
And don't look at the fact that "Picture of a Lady" can sell for 8 million pounds, but Virgil's hobbies are different from others.
He doesn't just look at the price, even in his eyes, the price is not as important as the oil paintings with women as the protagonists in various styles and times.
According to the records of the oil paintings he sold to Bill, it is not uncommon for the starting price to be 1,000 or several thousand.
Of course, the starting price is not accurate, so it doesn't have much practical significance.
And it is not accurate to say that he is obsessed with oil paintings with women as the protagonists.
For him, he is more obsessed with the skills, thoughts and styles of famous painters and master paintings.
Then if it is combined with female portraits, it is what he is most obsessed with.
But the price is difficult to predict, but the only certainty is that those paintings are definitely good paintings and definitely worth collecting.
The box car came all the way to the southernmost part of Lake Zurich, which is also Eicher Mountain, which is more than 30 kilometers away from the city of Zurich.
Teng Hao parked the car on the side of the road and was not in a hurry to go up the hill.
Instead, he held his own binoculars, and together with Barney, who was also holding binoculars, looked at the boxcar winding up the mountain road.
"This should be the destination. Let's touch it at night, so as not to be touched by secret sentries on the mountain or people who also live on the mountain."
Barney looked at the lights on the tracker's signal receiver. They didn't fade from four red lights to three.
That is to say, the box car has been driving up, and has not exceeded the range of 2 kilometers, and the farthest signal receiving distance of this tracker is 5 kilometers.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the two took out their combat uniforms from the luggage in the trunk.
After looking at Mount Eicher, which is at most 300 meters high, he picked up his half-person-high tactical backpack and sorted out his weapons.
Then it was very easy and only took a rest halfway, and followed the tracker to find a villa built next to the mountain.
After observing with a telescope for a while, the two simply continued to climb.
After a detour, I came to the top of the mountain and looked down at the villa with a telescope.
After looking at it for a short time, Teng Hao suddenly frowned and said, "No matter how I look at it, I think this old-fashioned villa is more like a villa-style castle?"
When Barney heard this, he nodded in response, "The windows are a bit small, but there are no windows at all on the first floor."
After observing for a few more minutes, the two of them were happy, and then frowned again, thinking that the surroundings of the villa seemed to have no traces of servants living there.
Moreover, apart from the box car, there is no car for going down the mountain.
The means of transportation does not necessarily have to be a car, it can also be a motorcycle, or a three-wheeled motorcycle, and it is placed in the villa.
But if no one lives or guards it, it means that there must be a very secret room in the villa with a high level of security, so that Virgil can safely hide his treasure here.
Two elite fighters who are proficient in fighting, killing, assassinating, various weapons, aircraft, and vehicles, when faced with a vault with a high security level, they don't have much confidence in their hearts.
However, on the other hand, as long as Virgil leaves.
They have enough time and can avoid anyone's peace of mind to search for the secret room in the villa.
"Should we go down the mountain, or stay here until dawn, and when the target leaves, we will enter the villa and have a look first?"
Barney tightened his windbreaker and took a beef stick from his pocket.
While chewing, he said, "You drive all day and sleep in the middle of the night."
The trenches are not long-winded, turned around and looked around, found a windproof mountain wall, unzipped the bottom zipper of the tactical backpack, took out a waterproof folding sleeping bag, and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Barney woke up naturally, he asked the trench lying on the mountain with a frown, "Has the target left yet?"
"Be patient, man."
Trenches said with a smile, "The target is not us.
He stayed up all night the night before, and moved so many painting barrels and wooden boxes.
After driving another 720 kilometers, another person moved things.
If you don't get tired directly, you are already in good health. "
