Chapter 516: The Big Boss Behind the Scenes (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

Kenny continued to introduce Pastor Thompson, his voice constantly coming through the headphones.

"This Anglican clergyman doesn't just study theology, he has a wide range of interests, and he also got a second degree while studying at the University of Notre Dame.

"Is it a degree in management? As we all know, the undergraduate business school of the University of Notre Dame is the top!"

Ye Tian asked curiously, guessing by the way.

"You guessed it wrong, Thompson's second degree is a bachelor of fine arts, and he majored in oil painting, how about it, this news is shocking enough!"

Kenny smirked, excited to listen.

"Ahh

Ye Tian exclaimed, fortunately, the voice was not loud and did not attract the attention of the others around him.

Immediately afterward, an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face.

From Kenny's words, he instantly thought of a lot.

Could it be that the two groups of international art thieves he is looking for are all the way! The robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum, but also the international art thieves who hid behind Tillerson and Donald.

And the painter who made a fake copy of Bacon's famous painting "George Dyer" is Father Thompson!

In his mind, Ye Tian quickly went through all the clues that had been found in the two investigation directions, and he suddenly found that these clues could all be connected and very reasonable!

It is highly likely that Pastor Thompson is Tillerson's upline, the mysterious man who uses the public phone to give all kinds of instructions.

Is there anyone more familiar with the situation around the Old North Church than him? I'm afraid there aren't many!

You know, he's been here for 30 years, so he knows everything about it!

The most mysterious guy has finally surfaced!

Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly in excitement, almost cheering.

But it was obviously not time to celebrate, and the place was not right!" he calmed down a little, and then whispered:

"Many churches have oil paintings or murals with religious themes, which usually need to be maintained and maintained, and a minor in oil painting is undoubtedly a wise choice!

"Thompson didn't just get a second degree, judging from the comments given by his classmates and teachers, his painting level was not low, and he was also a little famous at the University of Notre Dame at that time!

He is especially good at painting classicism and religious subjects, and on his online profile, you can see an oil painting he painted back then, although I don't understand this thing, but it looks pretty good.

Eight years after coming to the Old North Church, Thompson went to the Massachusetts Institute of Art for a while, but he studied painting and mural restoration not in theology.

He is now half an expert in the field of oil painting restoration, and he has participated in the restoration of religious oil paintings in many churches in Boston!

"Bino!

Ye Tian secretly cheered and waved his fist lightly!

At this point, he was extremely sure of his judgment.

The Reverend Thompson was definitely one of the robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum, as well as the international art thieves who hid behind Tillerson and Donald.

And it is very likely to be the ultimate goal of his own investigation! The big boss behind the art crime syndicate!

Regarding the rise of these international art thieves, Ye Tian instantly guessed eight or nine.

The Gardner Museum Heist was just the beginning, and since then, these guys have been out of control and have quickly grown into true international art thieves!

Their division of labor is very clear, Andrew's shipping agency is responsible for the transportation, smuggling the world's top antique art into the United States, and then handing it over to Thompson to deal with!

Next, through Thompson's forged artwork, and then through charity auctions in Boston and elsewhere, the stolen goods are unwittingly sold and transformed into the most tangible wealth!

In addition, there are a large number of errands, antique art brokers, forensic experts, snitches responsible for stealing art, as well as many black market buyers, collectors, and so on.

This is a very large, well-organized, and very cautious international art crime syndicate! And the core characters in this are Thompson and Andrew!

As long as you catch them, you can easily uproot the entire art crime syndicate, and finding a large number of top-notch antique artworks is a sure thing!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and his eyes turned green, the same color as the dollar!

Immediately after that, he whispered excitedly:

"Kenny, Bourne, great job! When this is over, each of you will receive a check with a number that will surprise you and even drive you crazy!"

Before the words fell, excited cheers sounded in the headphones.

"Awesome! Steven, you are the most generous boss, and I am very much looking forward to seeing that lovely check and seeing the numbers written on it!"

"That's right, so do I, thank you!"

When the cheers fell, Ye Tian smiled again and whispered:

"I have a strong hunch that our harvest this time may be very huge, and it is certain that the field of antique art collection will be shaken all over the world!"

"Hahaha, of course! This treasure hunt is so exciting, so enjoyable! I love this life!"

There was a hearty laugh from the headphones, and Kenny and the others were crazy with joy.

Subsequently, Ye Tian said to Matisse through the headphones:

"Guys, give up on checking the permanent population, there's no need for that! Everyone is here at the Old North Church, I'm sure Pastor Thompson is what we're looking for."

"Okay!

Matisse and the others echoed in unison, and everyone was very excited!

Subsequently, several of them immediately gave up the investigation and began to concentrate on the old North Church.

Ye Tian continued to issue orders through the headset.

"Kenny, find out the floor plan of the old North Church as soon as possible, and send me the drawings of several outbuildings, don't let go of any of them, the more detailed the better!

You're also going to find out everything about Thompson at Old North Church, and it would be great if you could find out every room he'd stayed in from the day he came here!

Another point, keep an eye on the surveillance around the Old North Church, in case the FBI guys and Cook's men find here, now is the most critical time, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Okay, Steven, we'll investigate right away, we'll send you over soon, Walker and Raymond have been keeping an eye on the surveillance, no matter what happens, they'll be the first to notify you!"

Kenny said excitedly, his voice trembling a little, all excited!

About five or six minutes later, Matisse's voice came through the headphones again.

"Steven, we're here, how to act, you can arrange it"

"Okay, I'm going to go inside the church to investigate, you just stay outside, according to the mobile phone location information, Thompson should be in the attached church to the east at this time!

There are two gates there, and you stand guard on both sides, and if Thompson leaves the church, follow at once, and don't let the venerable priest out of sight.

Just in case, you should send two more people and keep an eye on the two doorways of the old church to prevent him from suddenly appearing here without his mobile phone!

Now that the target has been determined, I believe that as long as we keep an eye on Thompson, we will definitely find a large number of antique works of art and make a fortune!"

"Received, don't worry, as long as this pastor is still in the Old North Church, even if he has a pair of wings, don't want to get out of our sight!"

Matisse said categorically, and immediately dispatched his men and began to act!

On the side of the old church, Ye Tian sorted out his emotions a little, adjusted his state, and then put on a smile and walked into the interior of the old North Church!
