Chapter 284
Compared to other neighborhoods in New York, the environment on the Upper East Side is much better.
There are basically no homeless homeless people on the streets, and there are no addicts wandering around, and they look relatively clean and tidy.
It's not that homeless people and addicts don't come here, they also know that the neighborhood is good and want to camp here.
But the New York City government and the Police Department would never allow that to happen.
Any addicts and homeless people who appear here will be purged in the first place or even thrown into prison.
People who live on the Upper East Side, either rich or expensive, are the real masters of New York, and even the masters of the United States.
The New York City government and police, who work for these masters, naturally will not let this neighborhood fall.
It is also one of the faces of New York and the United States, the most perfect embodiment of the so-called American dream, and it is natural to maintain a tall image.
As for the male thieves and female prostitutes behind the scenes, they were all covered up by their glamorous appearances.
At this time, Xiao Ran was walking on the sidewalk of 64th Street.
His appearance is decent, nothing special, and no different from other people on the street.
And with a tall figure and clean clothes, he is clearly not a homeless man and an addict or the like.
In addition, he is not black, and naturally has nothing to do with the Black Life Elite movement and the zero-yuan buyers.
Such an image walking on the street, basically do not worry about attracting special attention.
Even the patrolling police, seeing such pedestrians, will not come up to check without trouble.
While strolling, Xiao Ran was also admiring the buildings on both sides of the street.
On both sides of this street, mostly high-end apartment buildings, the height is generally low, most of the buildings are within ten floors in height.
Only Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue and Park Avenue, near Central Park, have some new high-rise apartment buildings.
Most of these apartment buildings were built before the fifties of the last century, and many of them are old buildings from before World War II.
They are built in a variety of styles, from neoclassical architecture, Baroque architecture, Renaissance style architecture, etc.
Although the history of these buildings is not very long, there are still some things to see and appreciate.
The greenery on the street is very nice, full of greenery, flowers, and pleasant scenery.
The buildings on both sides of the street are also very well kept, low-key and luxurious.
Looking at the scenery on this street, Xiao Ran was somewhat moved.
It is also a good choice to buy a few properties here.
That would not only allow you to have a fixed and comfortable foothold in Manhattan, but also avoid tax avoidance and avoid being ransacked by those vultures of the IRS.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran looked at the eyes of these apartment buildings on both sides of the street, and looked a little more.
As he spoke, he came to the front of a Baroque building and slowed down.
This is one of the historic buildings he asked his staff to explore, and the relevant situation has long been familiar.
Deep underground in this apartment building is the long-abandoned subway line.
As for whether the hidden treasure was buried deep underground in the building, he also knew it.
During the march, he first took a quick look at the apartment building and looked at the historical building with appreciative eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he was ready to open the perspective and see through the apartment building.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.
Just from the special ringtone, you can hear that it is Elaine's call.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then tapped the headset to connect the phone.
The next moment, Elaine's voice came from the earphones.
"Honey, we're already in the moldy apartment, everything is going well
" "The guys who were staring at you didn't notice until we got out of the car, they didn't realize that you were gone
" "Those guys are probably confused and guessing where you went"
Elaine giggled.
In addition to her, Fang Yufei and Mildew on the side were also happy.
After the laughter fell, Xiao Ran replied:
"Honey, you stay in the moldy apartment, I will call you when I finish my business
" "If those guys from the FBI and the police harass you, then let David deal with it, there will be no trouble
" "Under normal circumstances, they should not be looking for trouble, mold is a public figure after all, there are so many fans watching downstairs!"
Hearing this, Mildew was immediately unhappy.
"Okay! Sean, you guy turned out to be using me, it's really bad!
That being said, she had a strange tone and obviously didn't take it seriously.
They are all adults, if they can't even see through this, they will live in vain.
After a few small talks, Xiao Ran hung up the phone and ended the call.
Since he and Elaine's mobile phones have been modified with anti-monitoring and anti-tracking, they are not worried about being monitored and located by the FBI.
In a hurry, the FBI did not have time to mobilize technicians and sophisticated monitoring equipment to break through the firewall in his mobile phone, and then monitor and locate.
To the FBI, it doesn't seem worth it.
After putting away the mobile phone, Xiao Ran immediately secretly turned on perspective and looked at the historical building in front of him.
He only glanced symbolically at the building, and then looked at the basement.
At this glance, he saw several valuable antique artifacts and works of art, radiating brilliant and charming colors and light.
These antique artifacts and works of art are collected in some rooms in the apartment building, belonging to different people's homes.
Among them, there are also two treasures worth more than ten million dollars, which are heartwarming.
From this point alone, we can see how rich the rich people who live here are!
It is a pity that Xiao Ran is not a big art thief, and he does not disdain to be a gentleman on the beam.
Otherwise, he could have looted all the treasures in this apartment building in half an hour.
Of course, if there are some special circumstances, he doesn't mind being a art thief.
For example, the antique cultural relics and artworks collected by the other party come from China and are looted and looted.
In this case, he will not hesitate to loot the other party, and there will be no politeness.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran's gaze had penetrated the wall and penetrated into the basement diagonally below.
This basement is small in size and is basically made of granite, which is very solid.
The owner of the apartment building has converted this basement into a wine cellar where many very good wines are stored.
Among them are fine red wines and champagnes from France, such as Latour and Moët & Chandon.
There are also many national wines of the United States, bourbon whiskey of various years, and agave.
Obviously, the apartment building owner is a good drinker.
However, Xiao Ran did not have the slightest interest in these fine wines.
His gaze went straight through the wine cabinets and wine racks, looking at the walls and floors.
Then, his gaze penetrated into the walls and floors.
Unfortunately, the back and bottom of those walls and floors are airtight solid foundations, and there are no expected secret passages or secret rooms.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, there was nothing else except a large amount of cement and stone.
Obviously, this was not the place he was looking for.
The other two basements connected to this basement were also found nothing.
This result was already expected, and Xiao Ran did not feel the slightest disappointment.
Then he walked forward and continued to look through the next basement.
The next basement was also remodeled, but converted into a closed audio-visual room.
Inside, there is a multimillion-dollar set of top-of-the-line audio equipment, a large selection of limited-edition jazz records, and a comfortable-looking sofa.
The surrounding walls and doors have been made with top-level sound insulation treatment, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.
Obviously, this is a paradise for a jazz fanatic.
Looking at the situation in this basement, Xiao Ran's eyes were a little hot.
He really wanted to sit on that couch, close his eyes, empty his brain, and enjoy the music.
No need to ask, that feeling must be great!
Unfortunately, the timing is not right.
This wish cannot be fulfilled, or it cannot be realized for the time being.
Inside the walls of this basement and under the floor, there are no hidden secrets, no secret rooms or secret passages.
There was only a small safe containing just some dollars and a few limited-edition watches, as well as a few pieces of jewelry.
Although these things also have a certain value, Xiao Ranzhi is not here.
Several other basements adjacent to each other have been converted into gyms, others into private bars, etc.
Next, Xiao Ran walked forward while quickly peering through the many basements near the roadside.
Without exception, these basements were thoroughly seen through by him, and he did not spare any room or any corner.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained, and the secret passage to the deeper underground was never found.
Due to the limited depth of perspective, he can only determine the target if he finds the secret passage and enter the abandoned subway deeper underground.
During the probe, he did not show anything unusual.
To outsiders, it is not surprising that he is just walking and meditating.
In the blink of an eye, he had walked past four or five apartment buildings to a six-story Renaissance-style building.
As soon as he arrived here, excitement flashed in his eyes.
