Instead of painting on another canvas, Ingres's painting was copied directly on Bacon's George Dale using an unknown special pigment!

Undoubtedly, this is a very bold and imaginative approach, even at the risk of destroying a classic painting altogether!

What's even more amazing is that this extremely risky approach has been successful!

The copied painting completely conceals "George Dyer", and there is no flaw in it!

If it weren't for Ye Tian's ability to see through the illusion, it would have been impossible to discover the hidden famous paintings of Bacon.

In his eyes, the two pigments on this canvas are like two skins, clearly bounded, none of them dissolving, like water and oil, clearly distinguished!

It is conceivable that as long as you take this painting and take it home, you can easily clean the surface of the copy, and let the top famous paintings hidden behind it come to light.

"What kind of paint is this? It's the perfect camouflage material! It's almost impossible to find! Who is this art thief? It's too advanced! I can't do it without admiring it!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed with emotion, his eyes were full of appreciation!

At the same time, he was sure of one thing.

This art thief must have had a very high artistic accomplishment, probably an amateur painter, or even a professional painter, and this hidden copy is his masterpiece nine times out of ten.

After all, this is a direct copy of the stolen artwork, and it is basically impossible to fake others!

Even if he didn't do it himself, he had a group of very skilled and trustworthy copyists under his command to help him cover up the stolen paintings.

The camouflage of the painting has been done to the extreme, impeccable, and perfect!

But how can buyers be sure that the copy is the famous painting they want to buy? Aren't they afraid that this is a trap, that there is nothing under the copying work, and that someone will cheat on it?

After all, this is a black market transaction, there is no guarantee at all, and it is even more impossible to call the police!

Unless the buyer has some special way to see through the surface of the paint and see the real famous painting underneath, only in this way can he rest assured and complete this black market art transaction!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately withdrew his perspective and turned his head to look at Leo's side.

Sure enough!

Leo had already put on a pair of glasses at this time, and was intently admiring the paintings on the display table, with an excited smile on his face, and he almost raised his arms and cheered!

Without even thinking about it, it was with this seemingly ordinary pair of glasses that he directly saw through the paint on the surface of the painting and saw the famous Bacon painting hidden behind it.

And the properties of those special pigments should be similar to that of a certain developer, as if they did not exist at all under special light.

Now that the target has been determined, it is estimated that Leo will immediately transfer money to complete this black market transaction.

Then, he will put up a bid to win this top-notch artwork at a very low price, all without realizing it!

Even when transported, this copy of the painting on the surface can serve as a disguise, and it is easy to fool the layers of security and the police to successfully reach Miami.

Just go back to Miami and you're all set!

Leo only needs to carefully wash off this layer of paint on the outside and will be able to harvest a top-notch work of art in no time, without any risk!

"It's so discreet! It's seamless!

Ye Tian secretly sighed again.

Then he began to speculate about the operation of the stolen money, which was the easiest place to show his feet.

With the caution of these art thieves, the bank account number of the stolen money is certainly not in the United States!

These bank account numbers are either in a highly confidential Swiss bank, or in a Caribbean island country, or a tax haven like Liechtenstein, in the name of a leather bag company, which is very difficult to trace!

And after the stolen money arrives, it is likely to be immediately dispersed and transferred, and then enter the account of a transnational money laundering group to bleach the stolen money!

After some purging and thorough laundering, the money becomes legitimate income and goes into the numerous bank accounts of the art thieves.

From now on, the money can be used openly and even re-entered the United States!

After such a round trip, although the income of the art thief will be reduced by a large amount, it is better than very safe! Is there anything more important than that?

Besides, even if it is less, it is a very large number, after all, they are completely trading without capital, and the turnover is all profit!

Although these are all speculations, Ye Tian is sure that his guesses are not far from ten.

No, after Leo wore glasses and admired the painting for a while, he quickly took off his glasses, took out the laptop he carried with him, and started to get busy, nine times out of ten he was making bank transfers!

And the two bodyguards sitting beside him were already on high alert at this time, vigilantly staring at the surrounding situation, which further confirmed Ye Tian's conjecture.

Steal top-quality artworks, secretly contact buyers, cover famous paintings with special paints, find suitable community charity auctions, and make anonymous donations.

Next, the buyer comes to the site to inspect the goods, make bank transfers, quickly launder money, and finally the public auction is grand!

Except for the great risk of stealing art, the rest of the work can be said to be completely seamless, with no loopholes at all and no trace!

If the police and the FBI want to catch up with these guys, it is absolutely difficult to climb to the sky, almost a fool's dream!

Even if they catch the stolen art and catch the buyer, it will be difficult to catch the seller.

It is likely that the buyer and seller never meet each other throughout the transaction, all communication and communication is carried out by telephone or online, and the payment for the goods is also bank transfer.

The buyer doesn't even know if the seller is male or female, what city they live in, and the seller isn't stupid enough to keep the phone or email address they use!

How can this be checked? It is estimated that the exhausted police and the FBI will not find a clue!

In addition, there are countless charity auctions like today's across the United States throughout the year, especially during major holidays, when there may be many in a single city!

If the art thief had chosen the auction at random, it would have been impossible to track down.

If this guy is a little smarter, and then notifies the buyer before the auction is about to start, and asks the buyer to go to a certain auction to receive the goods, it will be even more impossible to trace!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but give two thumbs up to this gang of art thieves, and was amazed! What a group of criminal geniuses!

I don't know how many famous paintings these guys have sold in this way, I believe it is definitely not one or two, it is likely to be a very huge number!

The scale and number of art crimes are very large, second only to drugs and money laundering, and if you can design this near-perfect method of selling stolen goods, these guys must be the top art thieves!

While secretly sighing, Ye Tian also thought of another point.

That bastard of Cook didn't know where to get the news, and he actually bit this gang of art thieves and wanted to make a fortune on this gang!

I have to say, that bastard of Cook is very bold and has a bigger appetite!

This bastard is also very wise, if he can't catch the tail of the art thief, then keep an eye on the buyer, maybe he can find clues.

As long as the sale is ruined at auction and the famous painting is snatched from Leo, the buyer may jump out and settle accounts with Cook in order to protect his credibility!

If that's the case, it's going to be lively!

It's just that Leo is more unlucky! I don't know that I have already become someone else's target, and this time I may not only return empty-handed, but I am afraid that he will have to pay a huge price!

Money is only one aspect, and if you can save your life and return to Miami, you will be lucky!

Cook's bastard is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, he can provoke some small African countries to fight civil wars for the sake of profit, how can he let go of a large number of top artworks close at hand!

He will do everything he can to find these art thieves and keep those top art works for himself, and as for the means used, it will definitely be at every cost!

Not only is Cook coveting these top artworks, but Ye Tian is also very jealous of this huge wealth.

How can you turn a blind eye to such a huge fortune in front of you?

Don't let me find any clues, if I find clues, then all the top artworks are mine, all the wealth is mine, and no one wants to touch anything!

As for Cook's bastards, Leo's idiots, and the art thieves, stay where you go!

Ye Tian made a decision in an instant to participate in this matter and loot this huge wealth.

But he didn't plan to raise his card to compete for this famous painting of Bacon, after all, he had promised Cook that he would not make a move today, and it would be difficult to backtrack.

He's ready to look for clues from another angle, using his unique skills!

At the auction site, there must be an eyeliner arranged by art thieves, who are watching the whole process of the transaction, ensuring that the transaction is carried out smoothly, and reporting the situation on the scene at any time.

They may not be involved in the auction, but they will definitely contact the guys behind the scenes.

As long as the eyeliner takes out his mobile phone and starts contacting, his chance will come.

At that point, you will not only be able to determine who the eyeliner is and then track it, but you will also be able to find out the identity and address of the eyeliner through see-through.

You can even find out the contact information of the guy behind the scenes, which would be perfect if that way!

The next thing is very simple, under the perspective, these guys will have no secrets to speak of, and that huge fortune will definitely belong to them!

The immediate priority is to find out what the art thief has placed on the auction floor!

After determining this, Ye Tian immediately withdrew his gaze from Leo and was ready to act!

As he withdrew his gaze, he glanced at Cook's side.

Sure enough, Cook was like a hungry wolf, staring at the back of Leo's head, his eyes glowing green, and he was extremely excited.

At the same time, he was staring at the oil painting on the display table, and he couldn't wait.

The battle is about to begin! You fight first, buddies will join in, and the answer will soon be revealed who will kill the deer!

After turning his head, Ye Tian immediately whispered:

"Matthew, Fermi, you sit here first, you don't have to raise a sign to bid for this oil painting, just watch the play, there is a good show to be staged! I'll make a call at the door! I'll be back in a while!"

"Okay, go ahead, we're not interested in this painting at all"

Matthew nodded, not thinking much about it at all.

Then, Ye Tian got up from his seat and walked quickly towards the door.

Behind him, Boris, the new auctioneer, began to introduce himself, with a loud and passionate voice!

Soon, Ye Tian walked to the door.

But instead of going out to make a phone call, he stood against the wall in the doorway, condescendingly monitoring the entire auditorium, ready to find out the eyes of the art thieves hidden in the crowd.

The auction has begun!
