Fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian walked out of the reception room, followed closely by Benjamin.
“Jack, I will convey the situation you mentioned to Pastor Thompson as soon as possible. I believe he will nod and agree to help you repair the oil painting!”
“That’s great! Thank you, Benjamin, and thank Pastor Thompson for me. If the painting can be restored, in addition to the remuneration I should pay, I will also donate a sum of money to the Old North Church to express my gratitude. ! ”
Ye Tian said gratefully, acting very generously.
It’s all a blank check anyway, so what does it matter if you write more!
The two of them chatted and walked towards the door of the building. They were very harmonious, like old friends they hadn’t seen for many years.
Originally, Ye Tian wanted to see through the situation upstairs, such as Thompson’s bedroom upstairs, the private studio in the basement, etc., to see how many secrets were hidden here.
But Benjamin was always with him. For the sake of safety and not to reveal his flaws, he had to give up the idea of seeing through immediately and could only talk about it after he went out.
Now is the most critical moment. We must avoid any mistakes. It’s okay to make slow progress, but we must not alert Thompson. Otherwise, he may alert the snake and waste all his previous efforts!
While talking, the two walked out of the building.
After saying goodbye to each other, Benjamin returned to the building, while Ye Tian walked aside.
The first time he walked out of the small building, he raised his eyes and saw Matisse and Peake wandering near the south door of the church.
The two of them were still dressed as tourists, looking up to admire this famous church, but their eyes kept scanning the small building.
At the same time that Ye Tian saw them, they also saw Ye Tian. The eyes of the two parties were immediately separated. They did not say hello to each other, nor did they show anything suspicious.
After Benjamin disappeared into the building and he walked to the side of the small building, Ye Tianfang whispered excitedly:
“Guys, we have made a major discovery. Thompson had a private studio in the basement of this small building. It used to be his bedroom and was later converted into a private studio. It is very private and no outsiders are allowed to enter!
Since he came to the Old North Church, the basement has been used by him. It has been thirty years and has never changed its owner. According to my estimation, this studio is most likely a warehouse where stolen art is hidden. .
In addition, he has a bedroom on the second floor, which is also worthy of investigation. If nothing unexpected happens, we should make major discoveries in these two rooms, and success is close at hand! “
When he said these words, Ye Tian’s mood and tone were very excited, even excited.
However, his expression was very calm, and he did not show any abnormality at all. He was no different from other tourists around him.
“Great! We are going to get rich!”
There was a burst of cheers in the headphones, and everyone was very excited.
Of course the cheers came from Mattis and the guys, as well as Kenny and the guys.
After a brief celebration, Mattis’s voice came next.
“Stephen, what should we do next? Go straight to Huanglong or go in a roundabout way? We are at your command!”
“Let me think about it carefully. It is definitely not possible to go straight to Huanglong. It is not appropriate to alert Pastor Thompson at this stage. All our actions must be carried out secretly!
Only when we get enough evidence, negotiate terms with the FBI Art Crime Team and many museums and collectors, and reach an agreement, can we go straight to Huanglong! “
Ye Tian explained a few words, and then began to think deeply.
The headphones became quiet, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, and everyone was full of expectations.
Half a minute later, Ye Tian’s voice came out.
“Everyone, listen to my arrangements. Cole and Charlie, you guard the front door of the church. Matisse and Peake, you keep an eye on the back door. If Thompson comes out, you must keep an eye on him and never let him out of sight.
Kenny, Bourne, pack up and bring your equipment to the Old North Church in a commercial vehicle. Remember! Put on the prepared Boston license plate, pay attention to your whereabouts, and don’t bring those idiots from the FBI here!
We must find out whether there is surveillance in this building. I didn’t see surveillance on the first floor just now, but I estimate that there are most likely pinhole cameras in Thompson’s bedroom on the second floor and the studio in the basement.
This is a master who thinks carefully and does things impeccably! We must consider all possibilities and must not act rashly. If he finds anything wrong, we may lose all our efforts!
If there is no surveillance in the building, then everything will be fine! If there are hidden surveillance cameras, then we must find a way to deceive the surveillance cameras, put the Beetle drone in, and obtain first-hand video evidence.
In addition, I plan to go in personally at night to explore the situation in the building and see if any top-notch art has been stolen. This requires careful preparation and cannot be careless! “
“Received, start taking action now”
Everyone responded in unison, and every voice was very excited and high-spirited!
Afterwards, Mattis said a little worriedly:
“Steven, isn’t it a bit too risky for you to sneak into the building alone at night? How about I go in, or do I go in with you?”
Ye Tian didn’t think about it at all and immediately rejected the proposal with a smile.
“Don’t worry, as long as you fool the surveillance cameras, there won’t be any danger here. No one can pose a real threat to me. I still have this confidence.
Besides, I have to do this. If there are stolen antiques and artworks in the two rooms, I can tell the authenticity and value at a glance. You may not have this ability!
You just need to meet me outside. Don’t even think about accompanying me in. It’s easier for one person to get away if he has a small target. If there’s one more person, it actually increases the chance of exposure! No benefit whatsoever! “
When he said these words, Ye Tian’s tone was full of confidence and extremely firm.
Of course, we can’t take Matisse and the others to explore the small building at night. We must use clairvoyance frequently tonight. Taking Matisse and the others will only get in the way, which is definitely not a good thing!
“Okay! Now that you have made a decision, let me listen to you”
Mattis responded in a low voice, slightly disappointed.
What can be done? Who let himself encounter an omnipotent boss! Even if you want to show off your skills and perform well, you won’t have a chance!
“Everyone, let’s start taking action, pay attention to communication, cover and coordinate with each other, I will go check on the situation of this small building, maybe I will find something!”
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, then walked to the side of the small building.
At this time, he resumed his identity as a tourist and began to appreciate this ancient building.
There are no surveillance cameras in the church courtyard, so you can safely observe through perspective.
Don’t be afraid even if there are surveillance cameras. Ye Tian’s behavior at this time is not much different from other tourists, he just seems to pay more attention to the building!
The exploration first starts from the north end of the small building and the first room on the east side of the first floor.
Although Thompson’s bedroom is on the second floor and his private studio is in the basement, Ye Tian does not intend to miss every corner of the building. He is ready to explore all the rooms.
This is an apartment building, with a corridor in the middle and rooms on both sides. There are about twenty or thirty rooms upstairs, downstairs, and in the basement.
Only by exploring all these rooms and thoroughly understanding the situation in each room can we be foolproof and avoid unpredictable situations.
Perspective is on!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian’s sight had penetrated the wall, taking in everything in the target room without missing a thing!
This is the doorman’s duty room. It is not large. There is a white doorman in his sixties who is sitting on the sofa watching TV with a bright smile!
There are a few antiques in the room, which are all old furniture, but they are not worth much at all. They have no other advantages except being sturdy. They have no works of art, so they seem not worth a look!
However, there is something that Ye Tian cares about here.
Security duty schedule! There are schedules for security guard changing and patrolling, and the security guard changing time is undoubtedly the best time to sneak into the small building.
Soon, Ye Tian saw the security duty list on the table at the door of the room, and quickly wrote down the relevant time points marked on it.
Then, his eyes immediately shifted and looked towards the basement below the guard room.
This is a reference room, with a large number of documents piled up in wooden boxes. They are carefully preserved and obviously taken very seriously!
And these materials are quite old, including many documents from the eighteenth century, which shone red in Ye Tian’s eyes.
Unfortunately, most of the things recorded in these materials are related to the church and are of little value!
Of course, this varies from person to person.
To Ye Tian, these things really don’t have much value, they are not as good as the boxes outside!
But for the Old North Church, this is a priceless treasure and the most powerful evidence of the long history of this church!
Except for these documents, there are no other antiques and artworks in the room, and there are no mechanisms or secret rooms on the floor or walls. Nothing is found!
In just a few seconds, Ye Tian ended his exploration and looked away from the basement.
Then he looked at the room above the guard room.
This is a suite, with two rooms inside and outside, covering an area of about fifty or sixty square meters, with a bathroom. One room inside is the bedroom and prayer area, and the outside is the living room.
The furnishings in the room are simple and plain, with nothing luxurious. Religious supplies, books, and related clothing can be seen everywhere.
Obviously, this is the room of a certain clergyman in the Old North Church.
There are no hidden secrets, no antiques, no walls or secret rooms, so you can skip them!
With just a few glances, Ye Tian knew this room very well.
Next, he quickly explored several rooms on the east side of the small building, but still found nothing, and he did not see Thompson.
Soon, one-third of the rooms in the small building were explored, but there was still no surprising discovery.
When Ye Tian looked at a suite on the second floor again, a dazzling orange light immediately flashed out, extremely beautiful! It made his eyes dizzy!
But that’s not all. On another wall, there is an equally eye-catching red light, shining in his eyes at the same time, full of temptation and intoxicating!
A top-notch piece of art with a history of more than 400 years! A masterpiece from a hundred years ago!
Ecstasy surged into my heart instantly! Finally I found it!
Dear Pastor Thompson, you have nowhere to run!
