Yang Jing held an electrician's knife in his left hand and a flathead screwdriver in his right hand, laboriously prieing the position between the back plate and the top plate of the table clock, where there was already a trace of gap.
Around Yang Jing, there are many gadgets scattered around.
These tools, including the tools that Yang Jing is holding now, are all borrowed from the hotel's maintenance office by Yang Jing entrusted by Yang Jing before going upstairs just now.
Although Yang Jing knows a lot of clocks, he is not clear about the structure of clocks.
However, this antique clock is quite precise, and there is not a single screw visible outside, and Yang Jing doesn't know where to start.
Yang Jing didn't dare to violently break the clock, for fear of damaging the watch hidden inside.
This antique table clock doesn't matter to Yang Jing, it will be dismantled if it is dismantled, but if the Patek Philippe inside is accidentally damaged, then there will be no place to cry.
After thinking about it, Yang Jing decided to start from the backboard.
This bell is worthy of being a product of Hermler, Germany, and I don't know how to bond the back plate and the top plate, anyway, it is definitely not glued, otherwise it would have been pried off.
Yang Jing estimated that the shell of this bell was probably combined in the form of tenons and tenons, otherwise the top plate and the back plate would not be so tightly combined.
It's just that Yang Jing really can't figure it out, can metal and wood also be combined in the form of mortise and tenon?
But it turns out that the top plate and the back plate, and even the top plate and the side plate, are really combined in the form of tenons.
Yang Jing finally removed the back plate with great effort, and at this time he found that there was indeed a hole on the silver top plate, and the back plate made of wood was directly stuffed into the hole.
The mere combination of tenons and tenons is enough to see the mastery of Hemler's craftsmanship.
When the back panel is removed, the entire antique clock is basically in full view.
The two side panels were removed in the same way, and the interior of the 10,000-euro antique table clock was finally revealed.
It's just that Yang Jing searched and searched, but he didn't find where the Patek Philippe Platinum World Timer was hidden.
Yang Jing even dismantled the movement in the end, but he didn't see the watch.
"Is there a mistake with the Precepts?"
This situation made Yang Jing have to start to doubt.
The whole grandfather clock has been almost disassembled, and if it is dismantled again, it will really become a part.
But a watch is not small, it is impossible to disassemble it to this extent, and you can't see it.
Eventually, Yang Jing's gaze fell on the base, which was about five centimeters thick.
The base of this clock is made of a single piece of mahogany, which bears the weight of the entire clock, and is the heaviest part of the clock except for the movement.
The possibility of a movement has been completely ruled out, and if there is any place to hide a watch, it is the base.
In fact, after Yang Jing opened the bell just now, he could use the identification skills of the Holy Ring to determine where the watch was hidden, but Yang Jing did not do so.
The treasure you find out by yourself is the most exciting!
Yang Jing carefully observed the base, but found that there were no other holes on it except for the eyes.
Yang Jing picked up the base without believing in evil and began to tap everywhere with his fingers.
"Well, it's okay here, it's okay here, hey, the sound here doesn't seem right."
When Yang Jing's fingers hit the base near the middle, the sound finally appeared a little different, as if the wood in this part was a little empty.
This discovery lifted Yang Jing's spirits, and he took out a magnifying glass from the pile of scattered tools and began to carefully observe this part.
Not to mention, the mistake is that a magnifying glass is used, otherwise Yang Jing really can't see any difference between this part and other places.
The wood grain in this part is vaguely not compatible with the wood grain in other places, as if the wood in this part has been sawn and then reglued.
However, the person who did this work at the beginning obviously did it very carefully, if Yang Jing hadn't used a magnifying glass to find that there was something wrong with the wood grain, he really couldn't see any difference between this and other parts.
Turning his head to look at the scattered movements that had been dismantled, Yang Jing smiled helplessly and said to himself: "The movements have been dismantled, and this base is also trying to be saved!"
Damn, isn't it 10,000 euros!
Dismantle!
” Just do what you say.
Yang Jing took out a piece of fine sandpaper and began to polish this part, and within five minutes, the veneer of this part was sanded clean.
Sure enough, under the veneer, a distinct rectangular trace appeared.
Apparently, the wood had been hollowed out by someone, who then thinned the wood and put it back in, and finally bonded the wood to the base with a special glue.
Yang Jing picked up a wallpaper knife again and began to slowly cut along the crack, and it took about ten minutes of effort to cut off all the glue filled in the crack.
Switching back to the electrician's knife, he carefully cracked the blade, and with a slight force, the wooden block, which was eight centimeters long and less than five centimeters wide, immediately lifted its head.
After removing the wooden block with his hands, Yang Jing's little heart suddenly jumped violently.

Underneath the wooden block, something resembling cotton cloth appeared, and it was clear that something was wrapped in it.
Carefully took out the cotton cloth, put it on the bed and slowly opened it, and a brand new watch immediately appeared in front of Yang Jing's eyes.
The case and dial of this watch have the unique glow of platinum, and it is clear that the case and dial of this watch are made of platinum.
And the most eye-catching thing is the dial.
The dial is divided into three rings, the innermost ring is the normal twelve-hour dial, represented by twelve long bars.
The outer ring of the twelve-hour dial, the second lap, marks the time with 23 Arabic numerals, from 1 to 23.
Curiously, however, the 23 Arabic numerals are not in the normal order.
The position of 1 is at 7:30 and then every half hour until 23 at 6:30, and at 7 o'clock, it is replaced by a point.
And the number of this circle, the upper right half circle, that is, from 6 to 18, is white, and the lower left half circle, from 18 to 6, is black.
The black and white are particularly conspicuous.
This lap is the 24-hour dial.
The white part represents the day, and the black part represents the night.
As for the outermost layer, there are place names one by one, such as London, such as Greenwich, and Tokyo This unique dial structure allowed Yang Jing to recognize the true identity of this watch at a glance - the Patek Philippe Platinum World Timer.
Although Yang Jing had never seen this watch with his own eyes before, there were many pictures of this watch on the Internet.
After all, it was the most expensive watch in the world before 2015.
This unique 24-hour dial, white and black, is one of the hallmarks of Patek Philippe Platinum World Timer!
