Chapter 597: The operation is about to begin

After introducing Tillerson, Ye Tian stopped.

The identities of the other two guys are not yet appropriate to be revealed, and they will not be revealed until Thompson returns to the apartment building and enters the apartment or basement studio.

At that point, Andrew will be ready to make his debut, and when Thompson opens the shrine and enters the tunnel, the final answer will be revealed.

After Ye Tian stopped introducing, Joey and the others immediately took action.

According to Joseph's previous statement, they divided the FBI Art Crime Unit and Boston Bureau agents into four groups, and explained the details of the operation, and sent photos of the arrested subjects to each agent.

As for the mobile phone numbers of Donald and Tillerson, the FBI naturally already has it.

Once the operation starts, through the mobile phone location information, it is easy to find these two guys and arrest them! There is nowhere to escape!

In addition, Joey also got in touch with Director Lucas of the Boston bureau to prepare them for the operation to begin at any time.

Of course, that includes the Boston Police Department.

Blocking the streets and maintaining order is the job of the Boston police!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the time came to half past ten in the morning.

Kenny's voice came through the headphones again, and he listened very excitedly.

"Steven, that old fellow Thompson has moved, he's left the new church to the south, and he's walking towards the old church, and he's already in Rivera Garden!"

"Great! If nothing else, the old guy should be going back to the apartment building and keep an eye on whether the old guy is going upstairs to the bedroom or to the basement studio!

It's time to close the net, and we're going to do our best to take down these guys in one fell swoop and make a big fortune! Walker, Raymond, you guys are ready to respond!"

Ye Tian lowered his voice and said quickly, and waved his fist lightly excitedly.

"Roger, Steven!"

There were several responses from the headphones, each full of fighting spirit.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian turned to face Matisse and David, and said in a low voice:

"Guys, you can close the net, it is estimated that in a few minutes, Thompson will enter the dark passage, go to the underground palace, as soon as he enters the dark passage, we will immediately start acting.

When I arrived at the Old North Church, I would leave and enter the underground palace in advance to prevent Thompson from jumping over the wall and burning the stolen antiques.

Now I can tell you, there is another exit from that underground palace, which is near the old North Church, and the location is very secret! I plan to enter the underground palace through that secret passage!"

Matisse and David were stunned at first, and then exclaimed in a low voice.

"Ahh

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then explained in a low voice:

"How can there be only one secret passage in such an extremely secret underground building? If it is blocked by the opponent, it will not become a dead place! Therefore, it is normal to have other secret passages!

The reason why I didn't disclose the tone is because this exit is not in the Old North Church, and if you accidentally leak the news, it is likely that someone else will take the lead, so you have to be cautious!"

Hearing this explanation, Matisse and David were suddenly surprised.

"You're right, this kind of underground warehouse really can't have only one exit, let alone leak information, otherwise it's really possible that the bamboo basket will be empty and you'll be busy in vain!"

David sighed in a low voice, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Steven, are you going to enter that underground palace alone? It's a bit too risky, isn't it? Why don't I go in with you?"

Matisse whispered, excited and a little worried.

He also knew a little about the madness of Thompson's old guy, and he was inevitably worried.

Of course I can't let you follow, buddy still plans to use that secret passage to kill Thompson's old guy and never suffer in the future!

Ye Tian shook his head firmly and rejected Matisse's proposal.

"No, I'll just go in alone, it's more secretive and easier to move, I've already explored that secret passage before, and I know everything inside, so there won't be any danger!"

Thompson's old fellow is crazy and ruthless, but if he wants to hurt me, it's not enough, and it's easy to deal with him."

"Okay, but you still have to pay attention to safety!C4 explosives don't worry, but be careful with the M67 time-delay grenade, that thing is not small!"

Matisse answered and didn't say anything more, and so did David.

For Ye Tian's strong strength, both of them have great trust in him, and understand that few people can threaten him, coupled with his meticulous thinking and leakage, it is indeed unlikely that danger will occur.

"Matisse, David, when I sneak into that underground palace, the two of you will be in charge of leading the team, and the employees of the company who will clean up the stolen antiques and artworks will be led by Jason!

Remember, don't rush into the trap-setting tunnel after entering the secret tunnel, God knows if that old Thompson guy has secretly done anything, just in case!

Even if the FBI agents want to break in, you have to stop it, I don't want to see anyone beaten into meat sauce by those M16A4s and die at the hands of that old fellow Thompson, it's best not to bleed!

After making sure that the inside of the underground palace is safe, I will immediately go to the corridor and remove all the traps, and then everyone can enter the underground palace and make a fortune!

During the operation, you must always keep in touch, I will direct you through wireless headphones and monitoring screens, it is the last moment, you must not make mistakes!"

Ye Tian quickly completed the arrangement, and his tone was very firm and unquestionable.

"Understood, we know what to do!"

Matisse and David whispered, and Jason responded through headphones, everyone was excited and confident.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, good news came from the headphones.

"Steven, that old Thompson guy has entered the basement of the apartment building, and is now walking towards the studio, and will be at the door soon!"

Kenny said quickly, and the kid was flying with excitement.

"Great! Keep watching, keep informed!"

Ye Tian waved his fist excitedly, and the brightest smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing his performance, everyone on the scene understood that the time for the showdown had arrived!

Sure enough!

In the next moment, Ye Tian stepped onto the half-meter-high platform in front of the banquet hall again, turned to face everyone at the scene, smiled and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to close the net, and I'm pretty sure that these top art thieves, who have been hiding in Boston for twenty or thirty years, will soon be wiped out and uprooted!

And those stolen top antique works of art are about to see the light of day, return to the place where they should exist most, continue to bloom the charm of art, bring people the enjoyment of beauty, and beautify the world!"

Before the words fell, the scene immediately boiled completely.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause erupted and was incomparably warm.

Especially those many museum directors and famous collectors from all over the world are even more excited, and their slaps are about to be red!

"That old Thompson guy has entered the studio, but he hasn't entered the tunnels yet, and he's admiring an oil painting on an easel!"

Kenny's voice comes again, informing the surveillance.

Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly chuckled.

He could have imagined what was going on in that studio.

Thompson's old fellow was standing in front of the easel, admiring the disguised Bacchus Bacchus, the famous painting of the famous Spanish painter Velázquez!

This is a famous painting that is about to be sold, two days after the New Year, at a charity auction in Somerville, north of Cambridge!

But it's a pity that this sale of stolen goods is destined to not be completed, because the buddy is going to cut off the beard!

The applause fell, and Blanton, the director of the Gardner Museum, couldn't wait to ask out loud:

"Steven, can we follow you guys? To be honest, I can't wait any longer, I'm desperate to see those stolen antiques, I hope you understand!"

"That's right, I'm too, I want to see that Raphael painting as soon as possible!"

Duke Torresky echoed loudly, and the old man's excited voice trembled a little.

Other museum directors and representatives of famous collectors and art insurance companies echoed the same goal, all wanting to enter the underground palace and see the stolen antiques as soon as possible.

For these requests, Ye Tian resolutely refused.

"Gentlemen, I don't recommend you to go to the scene, Joseph has introduced it before, it is a warehouse hidden deep underground, storing a large number of weapons and ammunition, as well as deadly traps, very dangerous!

Even if the FBI succeeds in apprehending the first offender, transporting all the weapons and ammunition, and removing the danger, you'd better not enter the scene, where space is limited, and too many people will only get in the way!

And the passage into the underground warehouse is not spacious, only allowing two people to pass, in case something happens, you can't run if you want to, you have to fold in it, then the gain outweighs the loss!

You can send a few authoritative experts, and the art insurance company can send a few representatives to follow us in and witness the discovery and clean-up process, and there is no need to be on the scene.

During the operation, we will take the film crew into the underground warehouse, which is NBC, and they will film the whole process of the treasure hunt!

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured at the guys on NBC TV.

Kevin and they were also very cooperative, nodding at everyone at the scene, everyone was very excited and full of expectations!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"On top of that, every employee in our company who enters the underground warehouse wears communication equipment and a miniature camera to record every detail of the treasure hunt and clean-up process.

In addition to a special NBC report, this is also to reassure everyone that we take every piece of stolen antique art seriously and will not damage a single treasure!

The video footage of the action will be transmitted to the banquet hall and played on the projection screen, so you don't have to go to the scene at all, you can stay here as immersively!"

Hearing this, many museum directors and famous collectors showed satisfied smiles on their faces, and they also dispelled the idea of visiting the scene in person.

After a few whispered words from the front row, Julian, the director of MOMA, spoke:

"Well, Steven, we're taking your suggestion and just sending a few experts to follow you and go to that warehouse for on-site supervision, and we're not going.

What a freak you are, you've thought too thoroughly! We old guys can't find any reason to refute it, so we can only be led by your nose!"

"Hahaha"

The scene resounded with laughter, very joyful!

Immediately afterwards, AXA, Chubb and other major art insurance companies also accepted Ye Tian's suggestion and sent two representatives to follow up and supervise, while the rest stayed in the hotel banquet hall and watched the live video.

Get rid of these guys, Ye Tian smiled and said again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to tell you who the two leaders of this international art crime syndicate are, and don't be scared!"
