Kenny continued to introduce Pastor Thompson’s situation, and his voice kept coming from the earphones.
“This Anglican clergyman did not just study theology. He had a wide range of interests. While studying at the University of Notre Dame, he also received a second degree. Guess what degree it was?”
“Is it a management degree? As we all know, the undergraduate business school at the University of Notre Dame is the best!”
Ye Tian asked curiously and made a guess.
“You guessed it wrong. Thompson’s second degree is a Bachelor of Arts, and he majored in oil painting. How about this? This news is shocking!”
Kenny said proudly, sounding very excited.
“Ah! An art degree, majoring in oil painting! Wow! This news is really shocking!”
Ye Tian exclaimed, but fortunately the sound was not loud and did not attract the attention of others around him.
Immediately afterwards, an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face.
From Kenny’s words, he immediately thought of a lot.
Could it be that the two groups of international art thieves he is looking for are from the same group? They are both the robbers who looted the Gardner Museum and the international art thieves hiding behind Tillotson and Donald.
The painter who made a fake copy of Bacon’s famous painting “George Dyer” was Father Thompson!
In his mind, Ye Tian quickly went through all the clues that had been discovered in the two directions of investigation. He suddenly discovered that these clues could all be connected together, and they were very reasonable!
Pastor Thompson is most likely Tillotson’s go-to guy, the mysterious man who uses a public phone to give out various 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 has been here for thirty years, so he must know everything!
Everything is explained! The most mysterious guy finally surfaced!
Ye Tian clenched his fists in excitement and almost cheered.
But it’s obviously not the time to celebrate yet, and the place is not right either! He calmed down a little, then whispered:
“Many churches have oil paintings or murals with religious themes, which usually require maintenance and upkeep. A minor in oil painting is undoubtedly a wise choice! Perhaps this is the reason why he was able to enter the Old North Church!”
“Thompson did not just get a second degree. Judging from the evaluations given by his classmates and teachers, his painting level is not low, and he was also well-known at the University of Notre Dame!
He is especially good at classicism and religious-themed paintings. On his online information, you can see an oil painting he painted back then. Although I don’t understand this stuff, it looks pretty good.
Eight years after arriving at the Old North Church, Thompson went to the Massachusetts Institute of Art to study for a period of time, but his major was not theology, but oil painting and mural restoration.
He is now considered a semi-expert in the field of oil painting restoration. He has participated in the restoration of religious oil paintings in many churches in Boston! I have also taken the lead several times! “
“Bingo! That’s right!”
Ye Tian cheered secretly and waved his fist slightly!
At this time, he was extremely certain of his judgment.
This Pastor Thompson is definitely one of the robbers who looted the Gardner Museum, and he is also the international art thief hiding behind Tillotson and Donald.
And it is very likely to be the ultimate target of his pursuit! The big boss behind the art crime syndicate!
As for the rise of this group of international art thieves, Ye Tian instantly guessed everything.
The Gardner Museum robbery was just the beginning. Since then, these guys have been out of control and quickly grown into real international art thieves! Traveling all over the world!
Their division of labor is very clear. Andrew’s shipping agency is responsible for transportation, smuggling top-notch stolen antique artworks from all over the world into the United States, and then handing them over to Thompson for processing!
Next, after Thompson’s forged art, and then through charity auctions in Boston and other areas, the stolen goods were unknowingly sold and transformed into the most practical wealth!
In addition, there are a large number of errand boys, antique art brokers, appraisal experts, snitches responsible for stealing art, as well as many black market buyers, collectors, etc. throughout the entire operation.
This is a quite large, well-organized, and very cautious international art criminal group! And the core characters here 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 antique artworks is a sure thing!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian was so excited that his eyes turned green, the same color as the US dollar!
Then he immediately whispered excitedly:
“Kenny, Bourne, great job! When this is over, each of you will receive a check, and the number on it will definitely bring you a huge surprise, and even make you excited. Crazy! “
Before he finished speaking, extremely excited cheers rang out from the earphones.
“Awesome! Steven, you are the most generous boss and I’m so looking forward to seeing that lovely check and seeing the numbers written on it!”
“Yes! Me too, thank you! Steven”
When the cheers died down, Ye Tian smiled and whispered:
“I have a strong hunch that our harvest this time may be huge, and it will definitely shake up the world of antique art collections!”
“Hahaha, of course! This treasure hunt is so exciting and enjoyable! I love this kind of life!”
A burst of hearty laughter came from the headphones, and Kenny and the others went crazy with joy.
Then, Ye Tian said to Matisse and the others through the headphones:
“Guys, give up on checking the permanent population. There is no need! Everyone is concentrating on the Old North Church. I am sure that Pastor Thompson is the target we are looking for.”
“Okay! We’ll be right over!”
Mattisse and the others responded in unison, everyone was extremely excited!
Subsequently, they immediately gave up the investigation and began to gather at the Old North Church.
Ye Tianze continued to issue orders through the earphones.
“Kenny, please find the floor plan of the Old North Church as soon as possible and send it to me. I also want the drawings of several ancillary buildings. Don’t miss any of them. The more detailed the better!
You also need to find out everything about Thompson in the Old North Church. Starting from the day he came here, it would be great if you could find out every room he lived in!
One more thing, we must keep an eye on the surveillance around the Old North Church to prevent the FBI guys and Cook’s men from finding this place. Now is the most critical time, and there must be no mistakes! “
“Okay, Steven, we will investigate immediately and will send it to you soon. Walker and Raymond have been watching the surveillance, and they will notify you as soon as possible regardless of any trouble!”
Kenny said excitedly, his voice was trembling a little, it was all excitement!
About five or six minutes later, Matisse’s voice came from the headphones again.
“Steven, we are here, you can arrange the specific actions”
“Okay, I’m going to enter the church to investigate. You can just stay outside. According to the positioning information on the mobile phone, Thompson should be in the affiliated church to the south at this time!
There are two doors there. You should guard both sides. If Thompson leaves the church, you should follow him immediately and don’t let this respectable pastor out of sight.
Just in case, two of you are separated and keep an eye on the two doorways of the old church to prevent him from suddenly appearing here without his mobile phone! Forget about Rivera Gardens!
Now that the target has been identified, nothing can be said to make the target out of sight. I believe that as long as we keep a close eye on Thompson, we will be able to find a large number of antique artworks and make a fortune! “
“Received! Don’t worry, as long as this pastor is still in the Old North Church, even if he grows a pair of wings, don’t even think about leaving our sight!”
Mattis said categorically, and then immediately assigned manpower and started taking action!
At the old church, Ye Tian calmed down his emotions for a while, adjusted his condition, then put on a smile and walked into the interior of the old north church!
