Everyone in the banquet hall looked at Ye Tian in front of him, and everyone’s eyes were full of curiosity.
The mystery is finally revealed. Who are these two top art thieves?
On the stage, Jason next to Ye Tianchong nodded.
The next second, Andrew’s photo and related personal information immediately appeared on the projection screen in front of everyone.
At the same time, Ye Tian’s voice also reached everyone’s ears.
“This guy’s name is Andrew, a native of Boston. He runs a shipping agency on Liverpool Street in East Boston. The company is small but has business all over the world.
He is the number two figure in this art criminal group. Stolen antiques and artworks from all over the world are probably smuggled into the United States through his shipping agency.
Compared with air transportation with strict security checks, it is obviously safer to use ships to transport antiques and artworks by sea and smuggle them into the United States hidden among other goods. It is a very good way!
This shipping agency has been established for more than 20 years. You can imagine how many stolen antiques and artworks have been smuggled in. The number must be countless, and there are definitely more than what we saw! “
“Hiss——!”
A gasp of air rang out from the scene, and everyone was frightened by these words.
Using shipping agencies as a cover, they have been smuggling stolen antiques and art from all over the world for more than 20 years. These guys are really crazy. Has anyone seen them? I can’t even think about it!
Of course, Ye Tian’s words are somewhat exaggerated and even alarmist!
But this is the effect he wants. Since they are opponents, why not describe them as more evil?
While saying this, he was also observing the people at the scene to see if anyone reacted particularly violently.
The results were pretty good. Everyone’s reactions were similar, nothing particularly striking.
There should be no acquaintances of Andrew here. These Bostonians at the scene do not know Andrew, or are not familiar with him.
After a pause, he continued:
“After our careful investigation and repeated confirmation, I can say with great certainty that Andrew is one of the two founders of this international art criminal group.
The starting point of his art crime should be the Gardner Museum robbery more than 20 years ago. In that robbery, they madly looted 13 top-quality antiques.
The crazy robbery was too sensational. For safety reasons, they did not sell the 13 top-notch works of art, but kept them all and placed them in the underground warehouse.
Although they didn’t make any money in their first operation, they discovered that this was a promising business. From then on, they got out of hand and began to loot antiques and art all over the world!
I would like to remind Mr. Blanton, the director of the Gardner Museum, that Andrew is somewhat related to your museum. One of his distant uncles was once the deputy director of your museum.
In 1990, his distant uncle happened to be working at the Gardner Museum, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the museum, including security matters, but he is now dead! “
Hearing this, Brandon’s face suddenly changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly and livid! In anger, he even cursed loudly.
“Fake! Damn you bastard, how dare you guard yourself!”
Brandon naturally knew who the deputy director was, but just to save face, he did not say the other person’s name.
Ye Tian didn’t care about this at all. He just chuckled and continued:
“When arresting this guy Andrew, please be careful with the FBI agents on the scene and don’t damage any antique artwork you see, including the suspected ones!
There may be top-grade antiques and artworks stolen among them. Damage to any point may cause irreparable heavy losses, so be careful! “
Of course he had a purpose for saying that.
He is determined to get the painting “Girl Herding the Goose” by the famous French painter Millet, and plans to hang the painting in his bedroom to decorate his life!
That is a famous painting without an owner. Because of the existence of “Girl Herding the Goose” in the Walters Museum in Baltimore, everyone will think that it is a fake, and no one will take it seriously.
Since you all think it is a fake, do you still need to be polite? Just put it into your pocket reluctantly!
“Don’t worry, Steven, this is different from other cases. I will instruct every case handler to avoid damaging any antique artwork, or suspected antique artwork!”
Joseph said aloud, and Joey nodded.
Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce Andrew’s situation, stripped the guy clean, and exposed him in front of everyone.
As everyone in the audience listened to his introduction, everyone felt chills running down their backs, and they were extremely frightened!
This **** Steven is so cruel! Even the eighteenth generation of our ancestors are about to be discovered, right?
If you encounter this **** in the future, you must hide as far away as possible! If you really can’t escape, then you absolutely can’t provoke him. If you get targeted by this bastard, your life will be impossible!
After introducing Andrew’s situation, Ye Tian stopped again.
After a few seconds, Kenny’s voice came from the earphones again.
“Steven, that guy Thompson has opened the shrine and is preparing to enter the secret passage!”
“Great! Keep watching! Walker, Raymond, you can take off your disguise, we will be there soon, other guys, pay attention, prepare for action!”
Ye Tian clenched his fists excitedly and quickly issued an order.
“Copy that, Steven”
There was a response from the headphones, and every voice was very excited and full of fighting spirit.
It’s time! Thompson, from now on, you will show another face to the world. Prepare to be infamy for forever!
Ye Tian secretly complained, then looked at the audience and said loudly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, this international art crime syndicate that has been hiding in Boston for 20 to 30 years and has robbed countless museums and collectors will be completely destroyed today!
The leader of this international art criminal group is Thompson, a pastor of the Old North Church in Boston, an American historical landmark. He has been at the Old North Church for thirty years!
The underground warehouse is located more than 20 meters underground in the Old North Church apartment building. It was built in 1723 at the same time as the Old North Church. It is a huge underground palace that has never been known to anyone! “
After saying this, Ye Tian stopped and let the people in the banquet hall digest this, and at the same time, he was prepared to face the storm!
The scene was completely silent! Silence!
Except for Matisse and David, everyone else was completely dumbfounded. They all looked at Ye Tian with their mouths open and looked at Thompson’s photos and related information on the projection screen!
Everyone was confused at this time and couldn’t believe what they just heard.
A pastor who has been preaching for thirty years is actually the leader of the largest art criminal gang in the world. It is simply incredible!
Is he a priest or a devil? Or both!
The dead silence lasted for about four or five seconds, and people gradually began to wake up.
Immediately afterwards, the banquet hall completely exploded.
“Oh my god! He is actually a priest, who would have thought!”
“Pastor Thompson of the Old North Church, how could he be the leader of the art criminal group? What a kind and wise elder he is!”
There is a lot of discussion, this is quite reasonable.
Someone could no longer maintain their rationality and cursed angrily and loudly.
“Steven, you are shamelessly spreading rumors! There is no way that Pastor Thompson is a criminal. He officiated my wedding. You must explain clearly, otherwise I will never be done with you bastard!”
“That’s right! Steven, you’re a **** bastard! Pastor Thompson is my son’s godfather and there’s no way he’s the leader of some **** art crime syndicate!”
There were four people roaring angrily, all agents from the FBI’s Boston branch.
Except for them, the rest of the Bostonians also stared at Ye Tian with blazing eyes and gritted teeth, wishing they could rush up and beat him up! Only in this way can hatred be relieved!
This also includes Blanton, director of the Gardner Museum, Isaac, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Robert, director of the Harvard University Museum, and others.
You know, these museums have been devastated by Thompson and his gang, but Brandon and the others have shown this attitude!
Even Judge William stared at Ye Tian with a gloomy expression, almost yelling!
It can be seen that the old guy Thompson’s influence in Boston is profound. It is no exaggeration to say that it is deep-rooted!
At this moment, Ye Tian was extremely glad that he had held back until now to reveal the answer. If it had been even half an hour earlier, the news would have definitely leaked out.
