Chapter 485: Huge Appetite (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
The check-in process at the hotel went smoothly, although Mandarin Oriental had the heart to refuse this group of vicious guests, but in the face of the cheque waving in Ye Tian's hand, they couldn't say anything to refuse!
However, in order to avoid causing panic among other guests, and for the safety of guests and the hotel itself, Mandarin Oriental has done some work!
The hotel deliberately set aside half a floor and provided it to Ye Tian!
From the moment they stepped out of the elevator with a heavy luggage cart and entered the guest room, this half of the floor was immediately designated as a no-go zone!
Other guests are not allowed to enter here, security is on duty 24 hours a day, and there is an elevator directly from the underground parking lot, which is definitely the top VIP treatment, and the president's visit is also this treatment!
This is exactly what Ye Tian wants, all he needs to pay is just a sum of dollars, although the amount is relatively large, but it is also worth the money!
The guest room is on the 10th floor of the hotel, the internal facilities are great, elegant, comfortable, with a bit of oriental cultural charm, and the view outside the window is also very beautiful, which is refreshing!
Standing at the window and looking out, you can see the bustling Boston Back Bay District, trendy Newbury Street, and the wide Charles River in the distance, and the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology across the river.
But Ye Tian and the others didn't come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, after entering the room, everyone immediately got busy.
Matisse and several of his men quickly took out the high-tech equipment they were carrying, and began to inspect the rooms, which were very careful and thorough, and did not miss a single corner!
In the next period of time, everyone will have to work here, and this is the logistics base and information center, and security must be ensured, and confidentiality is the most important thing! There must be no sloppiness!
It took about twenty minutes for Matisse to finish the check.
In addition to the monitoring probes in the corridor outside, there are no monitoring equipment such as bugs and pinhole cameras found in several guest rooms, which is quite safe!
After doing the necessary checks and making sure it was safe, everyone gathered in the largest set of rooms.
After a short break, Matisse stood up and spoke:
"Guys, let's get moving! This room is the largest, and it will be our information center and command center in the future, take out those equipment and start arranging it!"
"Roger!"
Peter, they answered in unison.
Then, they stood up and opened several huge suitcases they had brought, took out more than a dozen pieces of high-tech equipment from them, and began to arrange them in the room.
Matisse walked up to Ye Tian and explained the function of these devices.
"These are the best anti-surveillance and anti-surveillance equipment available today, and when Peter and the others are finished, this suite will be completely under our control!
Even if someone were to listen in the next room, upstairs or downstairs room, all they heard would be a noise, and they wouldn't even want to eavesdrop on any valuable information from it!
If you want to use pinhole cameras or drones for monitoring, there is no use at all! Once these devices enter a specific area, they will immediately be exposed in their original form and completely fail.
In addition, we will also set up monitoring and listening devices in the corridors outside the door, elevators, and inside and outside these rooms to ensure that we can keep track of the situation in these places.
NOT ONLY CAN WE USE OUR MOBILE PHONES AND IPADS TO CONTROL THEM REMOTELY, BUT KENNY AND BOURNE IN NEW YORK ARE ALSO MONITORING THIS PLACE AT ALL TIMES!
"Good job, very thoughtful! There are a lot of guys staring at us now, not to mention anything else, the Boston police and the FBI will definitely listen to us and keep an eye on our every move!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, very satisfied with Mattis's work!
Everything was just as he expected!
While Peter and the others were busy arranging anti-surveillance equipment, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel had another group of uninvited guests.
There are eight of them! There are big men with bright eyes and high vigilance, there are also technical otaku with messy hair and raunchy hair, and two smart and capable beauties!
They didn't show up in the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental, they walked through the staff passage, and quietly entered the five-star hotel from the underground garage!
Like Mattis, these uninvited guests also dragged a lot of black metal suitcases in their hands, which at first glance looked like the kind with high-tech equipment.
Soon, these guys took the staff elevator to the ninth floor of the hotel!
And the room they chose was located right at Ye Tian's feet, and it was obvious that these guys were not good!
This is a monitoring team from the FBI branch in Boston, and they are here to monitor their actions here to prevent them from causing trouble in Boston!
It's a pity that Ye Tian and the others have thought of these things a long time ago, and have arranged countermeasures, this monitoring team is destined to get nothing and be busy in vain!
Peter and the others quickly set up the anti-surveillance equipment and tested it with the monitoring equipment, and the effect was very good, and there were no problems.
Then, they put a little effort into installing pinhole cameras in some hidden or inconspicuous corners inside and outside the suite, including the outside hallways, elevator entrances, and several other rooms.
After a busy time, this half of the floor has been included in the monitoring scope, there are no monitoring blind spots, no matter who enters this area, there will be nothing to hide!
At this point, this place has truly become a high-security temporary command post and information center! It will definitely play a huge role in the next treasure hunt.
By the time Peter finished setting them up, the suite was unrecognizable.
Elegance and comfort are completely gone, and that trace of oriental culture is gone.
The sofa and coffee table in the center of the living room have been moved to the side, and in the center of the living room are two tables and four chairs!
There are several notebooks on the table, and the monitoring screen is displayed on the two computer screens, and the monitoring pictures inside and outside the suite and in every corner of this half-floor are very clear!
There are also two laptops used to control the anti-surveillance listening devices, and the rest are used to direct operations, or control drones, etc
In addition, there are a number of other high-tech equipment on the table, each of which is the best of the day and is not only very powerful, but also very valuable!
And on every wall in the suite, including the floor and ceiling, there are anti-listening devices, which are attached to the wall like an octopus, to defend against malicious intent from the next door!
As far as the eye can see, the room is full of all kinds of high-tech equipment, large and small, criss-crossing wires, and constantly flashing indicator lights.
This is still a five-star hotel suite, like an information center built with a lot of money!
Of course, there are also weapons and equipment that exude a cold atmosphere.
Two gun racks sit next to a long computer desk, each with two automatic rifles, a shotgun, and several pistols, as well as plenty of ammo!
Every gun is within reach, ready to pick up and fire at any time, enough to deal with any unexpected situation, adding a lot of murderous energy to this suite!
But that's not all, Peter took out a small box from his suitcase, came over and said:
"Steven, give me your mobile phone, I will do some anti-eavesdropping, anti-tracking modifications, so that others can't track your mobile phone signal, so that it is more secure!"
"Okay! That's a good idea, it's long overdue!"
Ye Tian nodded, took out his mobile phone and handed it over.
Peter and Miller then began to modify their phones, while the rest of the others did not, and by the time they set off from New York, their phones had already been transformed!
By the time all the work was done, it was already one o'clock at noon.
After resting for a few minutes, Ye Tian gathered everyone together and began to explain the plan of this treasure hunt and assign tasks.
"Guys, it's time to tell everyone about the plans and goals of this Boston treasure hunt!"
"Great! Steven, hurry up, I can't wait!"
Miller said excitedly, his eyes full of antiquity.
The others did the same, their eyes shining, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:
"The treasure we are looking for this time is a batch of stolen top-quality artworks, the exact amount is not clear for the time being, but I am sure that this amount must be quite large!
The value of these works of art is staggering, astronomical, and they are likely to be in Boston, so I have some clues and am confident that I can find them and see them again!
If we can find these top works of art and make them available to the world, it will definitely shake up the entire antique art collection field, and there will be absolutely no problem with making a windfall!"
"Wow! It's actually looking for the top art stolen, it looks like we're going to fight the international art thieves, it must be very exciting, I love this treasure hunt!"
Peter shook his fist, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"As far as I know, the bounties for some of the top artworks are not very high, and it is not easy to get these bounties when dealing with the FBI Art Crime Unit!"
Matisse asked, his face more solemn.
After this period of contact, he has some understanding of antique artworks, including common sense of art crimes, and it is normal to have such concerns!
For these, Ye Tian had already taken them into account.
He chuckled softly, and then continued:
"I'm not aiming for the bounties offered by collectors, museums, and insurance companies, but I can't afford to be in such a hurry!
My goal is those top-notch works of art! That's the most valuable treasure! Only those priceless works of art can make me tempted, and it's worth my efforts and adventures!"
"But everyone knows that stolen art can't be bought and sold openly, so are you going to trade on the black market?
Matisse asked, puzzled, and the rest of the group were equally puzzled.
Everyone didn't think that Ye Tian would be a black market seller, that would not be worth it at all!
Ye Tian shook his head and continued:
"I'm definitely not going to trade on the black market, that's not my option! You know, some countries don't take art crime seriously, and a lot of top art is not necessarily recorded even if it is stolen.
Others may be the inventory of major museums, stolen by insiders, and if they don't show up on the market, no one will ever know they've been stolen!
In addition, there are antiques that have just been unearthed, the collection of a top collector who has died, the top art that flowed out of a war-torn place like Iraq, and so on.
As long as we catch the tails of these art thieves and have enough information, then I will be qualified to sit down and negotiate with the FBI's art crime team!
Of course, I negotiated with many other people, including famous collectors who had been burglarized, major museums, insurance companies that had suffered heavy losses, and even certain governments!
At that point, I don't just want a big reward, I want to get some of the top artworks, even if it's only 20%, that's an astronomical amount!
And the initiative is completely in my hands, and I don't have to worry about the FBI Art Crime Unit refusing it, and the other people involved in it too, because they have no choice at all!"
Matisse and the others were completely dumbfounded, and they all looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes were round, and their eyeballs were about to fly out!
Steven's appetite is so big that he wants to swallow a portion of the stolen art, it's crazy!
