Chapter 513: Checking One by One (Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Recommendations)
Half an hour later, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston.
"Wow"
When he turned around, Ye Tian collided with a white man in his fifties and sixties who came behind him, and the one who was holding more than a dozen books in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Johnson, I didn't see you in the back and accidentally bumped into you, I'm sorry! You're not hurt, are you?"
Ye Tian hurriedly apologized to the other party, and quickly squatted down to pick up the books that fell on the ground, looking a little in a hurry.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt, fortunately I only have a few books and nothing else, otherwise it's hard to say, be careful when walking, don't be so reckless!"
Ryan Johnson said with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness.
He is Andrew's own brother, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and is the target of Ye Tian's investigation.
This unexpected car accident was, of course, intentional by Ye Tian, in order to get close to the other party.
"Got it, Professor Johnson, be sure to pay attention next time"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his hands were still busy.
And in his heart, he secretly said:
"It just depends on the books you are holding in your arms, buddy just bumped into it, if it was something else, where would buddy take the initiative to cause this car accident!"
Soon, Ye Tian picked up all the dozen or so books that had fallen on the ground.
But he did not return the books to the other party at once, but held them in his arms, smiled and said:
"Professor Johnson, where are you going now? Are you going back to the office? These books are quite heavy, I'll send them to you!"
"I'm sure I'm going to go back to the office, but it doesn't seem appropriate for you to send it, right?"
The other party said politely, but a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
These books are indeed a bit heavy, and it's not bad to have someone do it for you.
"Professor Johnson, you're welcome, this is just a trivial matter, just take it as my reparation, I happen to be going to the office building!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, showing great humility and friendliness!
"Then you're welcome, thank you, come with me!"
With that, Professor Johnson turned and walked towards the office building, about 300 meters away.
"Okay!"
Ye Tian responded, and immediately followed with the pile of books, his steps were very brisk.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
He wasn't here to do good, of course, but was going to enter Professor Johnson's office and get ready to look around and see if he could find anything.
"What's your name?
"My name is Qian Ning, majoring in biomedical engineering, it's normal that you haven't seen me, we are not in the same department after all, but I know you, I have several friends from the Department of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering"
Ye Tian made up a name and coped with the past.
While chatting, the two walked forward and quickly entered the office building in front.
By the time Ye Tian walked out of this office building, it was already twenty minutes later.
When he walked out of the office building, there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.
After some perspective investigation, he did not find anything suspicious in Professor Johnson or in his office, this person who looked like an ordinary university teacher had nothing to do with art thieves!
But just in case, the investigation into Professor Johnson doesn't end there!
After leaving Wentworth Institute of Technology, Ye Tian immediately called a taxi and went straight to Professor Johnson's house, preparing to investigate the situation at his home.
At the same time, Kenny: They're also on the move.
They are investigating the details of this university professor through the Internet, family members, income, etc., no matter how big or small, they will not let go!
......
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Tian reappeared in downtown Boston, in a Spanish-style restaurant on Hanson Street.
He came here for two purposes, to enjoy a Spanish-style dinner and to continue investigating the targets on the list.
The latter one, of course, is the main purpose.
The restaurant's owner, Andrew's cousin, is one of the key targets of the investigation, based on his age, similar to the two robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum more than 20 years ago.
"Miss, have a paella, a glass of sangani, and less ice!"
Ye Tian didn't even open the menu, and quickly finished ordering.
If you come to a Spanish restaurant, you must have paella, and Sangania is undoubtedly the best wine to accompany your meal.
"Okay sir, please wait"
The waitress answered, then put away the menu and turned to leave.
While waiting for the food to be served on the table, Ye Tian began to observe the restaurant and see through the rest of the rooms in the restaurant, including the storage room, the boss's office, and other places.
Including the restaurant owner himself, he was all seen through by Ye Tian, and nothing was missed!
It didn't take long for Ye Tian to retract his gaze and end the perspective.
No antique artwork was found here, and nothing else was surprisingly found!
For the rest of the day, Ye Tian sat at the table, patiently waiting for the food to be served, and enjoyed the famous paella, although not very authentic!
After dinner and leaving the restaurant, he immediately took a taxi and went straight to the restaurateur's home to investigate the situation at his home.
Time passed quickly, and it was ten o'clock in the evening.
Ye Tian removed his disguise, returned to his original appearance, and returned to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel by car.
As he had done before, as soon as he entered the hotel, he immediately felt a hateful and very unfriendly gaze.
"Gentlemen, what's the catch at Macy's? Tell me, it's a great place to shop, you shouldn't leave empty-handed, right?"
Ye Tian said jokingly, smiling very brightly.
The object of his jokes is, of course, those FBI tracking team agents who have been slammed and held back their anger, but have nowhere to vent.
"Steven, you're such a true bastard! You're going to die if you don't taunt people?
The leader of the tracking group gritted his back molars and cursed, every word was squeezed out of his teeth, which showed the depth of hatred!
The rest of the FBI tracking team agents were the same, all of them had fire in their eyes, and they were glaring at Ye Tian with gritted teeth, and their eyes were about to burst!
Ye Tian turned a blind eye to their reaction, and continued to smile and said:
"Gentlemen, don't be angry, take it easy! Didn't I say at noon, you don't need to be nervous, you don't need to follow, we won't disrupt the stable social order in Boston.
The facts are in front of you, and you have seen that nothing is happening in Boston today, and even if there is, I dare to pat my chest and assure that it has absolutely nothing to do with us."
After saying that, he walked straight to the elevator, ignoring the aggrieved FBI agents.
Just then, Matisse and Pique stepped out of the elevator and strode towards them.
Soon, the three of them returned to their suite on the tenth floor.
After cleaning up and resting for a few minutes, Ye Tian immediately gathered everyone together and began to understand today's investigation.
"Tell us about your investigation, and what did you find anything surprising?"
"Okay, I'll introduce you."
Matisse spoke.
The content of the investigation of the four of them is similar, and one person is enough to explain.
"We have begun to check the permanent population around the old North Church one by one, starting from the outermost part of the church, and pushing inward layer by layer, striving for not a single household.
Kenny and Bourne are also cooperating, and they have investigated the identity and financial situation of these residents on the Internet, and they have checked them very carefully and thoroughly.
It's a pity that today we screened more than 100 people, but we didn't find any suspicious people, of course, this is not without gains, at least the scope of the investigation has been narrowed.
In addition, we continue to monitor Donald and Tillerson, keeping an eye on them at all times, but these two guys are very honest today and don't make any moves."
"Good job, continue tomorrow! I'm pretty sure we'll be able to dig up that guy hiding near the Old North Church, and no matter how deep he hides, there's nowhere to escape!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, appreciating Mattis's work, and his tone was full of confidence.
"That's right, that guy is just waiting to be caught! Tell me about the results of your investigation, Steven, have you made any major discoveries?"
Matisse nodded in response, and then asked about Ye Tian's investigation results.
The rest of the people were also very concerned about this issue and looked at it one after another.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:
"I did make a major discovery here, and after some investigation, I am now very sure that this guy who is investigating today is an international art thief nine times out of ten, and he is a mental figure!
Even if he wasn't, he was inextricably linked to an international art theft ring, and he definitely didn't run away! Besides, it's very likely that this guy was one of the robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum back then!"
Before the words were spoken, a cheer immediately rang out in the room.
"Great! Steven, you're still amazing, the investigation progress is so fast, admire!"
"Wow! Doesn't it mean that the earth-shattering robbery at the Gardner Museum is about to be revealed and solved! This is so exciting, if this news is revealed, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world!"
Ye Tian nodded firmly, and said confidently:
"That's right, the biggest robbery in the history of art crime is about to end in our hands, and these art thieves who have been hiding for more than 20 years have nowhere to escape!
Starting with this guy today, we will definitely be able to dig up another robber and find the 13 top works of art that were robbed, and if nothing else, the other robber is this guy's relatives and friends.
Tomorrow we may have to fight side by side, and one of this guy's distant cousins is in the Old North Church, a clergyman, and is the subject of my main investigation!
"You also want to come to the Old North Church, that's great, I hope we can all gain something tomorrow!"
Cole said excitedly, and the rest of the guys were also very excited.
Then, after discussing the plan of action for tomorrow for a while, they talked to Kenny and the others before they dispersed to prepare for a wash.
Tomorrow will be full of hope!
