Chapter 598: Priest or Devil

Everyone in the banquet hall stared at Ye Tian in front and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

The mystery is finally about to be revealed. Who are these two top art thieves?

On the stage, Jason next to Ye Tian nodded.

In the next second, Andrew's photo and related personal information immediately appeared on the projection screen and appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, Ye Tian's voice also spread to 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 operations all over the world.

He is the second person in this art crime group. The stolen antique artworks from all over the world should have been smuggled into the United States through his shipping agency.

Compared to air transportation with strict security inspections, it is obviously safer to smuggle antique artworks into the United States by sea by sea and hide antique artworks among other goods. It is a very good way!

This shipping agency has been established for more than 20 years. It is conceivable how many stolen antique artworks have been smuggled and the number is definitely hard to count. It is definitely more than what we have seen!"

"hiss--!"

There was a sound of inhaling air at the scene and everyone was frightened by these words.

Using the shipping agency as a guise, they have been smuggling stolen antique art from all over the world for more than two decades. These guys are really crazy. Who has ever seen it? They can't even think about it!

Of course, Ye Tian's remarks were somewhat exaggerated, even alarmist!

But this is the effect he wants. Since they are opponents, why not describe them as evil?

While saying this, he was also observing the people at the scene to see if there were any particularly violent reactions.

The result is not bad, everyone's reaction is similar, not particularly conspicuous.

There should be no acquaintances of Andrew here. These Bostonians at the scene do not know him or are not familiar with Andrew.

After a short pause, he continued:

"After our careful investigation and repeated confirmation, I can say with certainty that Andrew is one of the two founders of this international art crime group.

The starting point of his art crime should be the Gardner Museum robbery more than two decades ago. In that robbery, they ransacked a total of 13 top antique works of art.

That crazy robbery was really a sensation. For safety's sake, they did not sell the 13 top art pieces, but kept them all in the underground warehouse.

Although they didn't make any money in the first operation, they found that it was a promising business. Since then, they have been out of control and began to looting antique art all over the world!

I want to remind Mr. Isaac, the curator of the Gardner Museum, that Andrew has something to do with your museum. One of his distant uncles was once the deputy curator of your museum.

In 1990, his distant uncle happened to work at the Gardner Museum, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the museum, including security matters, but he is now dead!"

Hearing this, Isaac's face changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly, a piece of iron! In his anger, he even directly cursed.

"Fuck! Damn bastard, how dare he steal it!"

Isaac naturally knew who the deputy curator was, but he didn't say the other party's name just for the sake of face.

Ye Tian didn't care about these at all, he just chuckled lightly and then continued:

"When arresting this guy Andrew, the FBI agents at the scene please be careful and don't damage any antique artwork you see, the same thing if is suspect!

Among them, there may be the theft of top antique artworks. Damage to any point may cause irreparable and major losses, so be careful!"

The reason why he said this is of course purposeful.

The famous French painter Millet's "The Goose Girl", he is determined to get it and he is going to hang it in his bedroom to decorate his life!

It was a masterpiece without an owner. Because of the existence of the "The Goose Girl" at the Walters Museum in Baltimore, everyone would think it was a fake and no one would take it seriously.

Since they all will think it is a fake, do he need to be polite? Just reluctantly earn it!

"Don't worry, Steven, this is different from other cases. I will urge every person handling the case 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, picking up this guy clean and hanging it out in front of everyone.

As everyone in the audience listened to his introduction, everyone felt chills on their backs and they were terrified!

Steven this bastard is so cruel! Even the eighteenth generation of human ancestors are about to come out.

If they run into this bastard in the future, they must hide as far away as possible! If they can't avoid it, they can't provoke it. If they get caught up by this bastard, then they can't get through!

After introducing Andrew's situation, Ye Tian stopped again.

Within a few seconds, Kenny's voice came from the earphones again.

"Steven, that guy Thompson opened the shrine, ready to enter the secret road!"

"Awesome! Keep staring! Walker, Raymond, you can lift the pretense, we will be there soon, the rest of the guys pay attention and prepare to act!

Ye Tian clenched his fist in excitement and quickly issued an order.

"Received, Steven!"

There was a response sound from the headset and every voice was very excited and full of fighting spirit.

It's time! Thompson, from now on, you will present another face to the world, prepare to be stinking for thousands of years!

Ye Tian murmured to himself, then looked at everyone in the audience and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this international art crime syndicate, which has been hidden in Boston for twenty or thirty years and has looted countless museums and collectors frantically, will be completely destroyed today!

The leader of this international art crime group is Thompson, a pastor of the Old North Church in Boston, a historic landmark in the United States. He has been in the Old North Church for 30 years!

And that underground warehouse, which is located more than 20 meters underground in the apartment building of the Old North Church, was built in 1723 and was built at the same time as the Old North Church. It is a huge underground palace, never known!"

After speaking this setence, Ye Tian stopped and let the people in the banquet hall digest this setence and at the same time, he was ready to meet the storm!

The scene is dead! Silent!

Except for Matisse and David, everyone else was completely stupid, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded, looking at Thompson's photos and related information on the projection screen!

Everyone was confused at this moment and couldn't believe what they had just heard.

A pastor who has been preaching conscientiously for 30 years is the head of the world's largest art crime gang. It's incredible!

Is he a priest or a devil? Or both!

The silence lasted for about four or five seconds and people gradually began to wake up.

Immediately afterwards, the banquet hall was completely exploded.

"Gosh! It's a pastor, who would have thought of it!"

"Pastor Thompson of the Old North Church, how could he be the head of the art crime syndicate? What a kind and wise elder that is!"

There was a lot of discussion, which was quite sensible.

Someone could no longer maintain their sanity and directly cursed loudly in anger.

"Steven, you are shamelessly spreading rumors! Pastor Thompson can never be a criminal. He presided over my wedding. You must explain clearly, otherwise I will never end with you, bastard!"

"That's right! Steven, you are a bastard! Pastor Thompson is the godfather of my son. He can never be the head of a shit art crime syndicate!"

There were four roaring people, all of them FBI agents from the Boston branch.

Except for them, the other Bostonians also breathed fire in their eyes, glaring at Ye Tian with gnashing teeth, wishing to rush to him and stun him! Only then can the hatred be relieved!

This also includes Isaac, director of the Gardner Museum, Brandon, director of the Boston Museum of Art and Robert, director of the Harvard University Museum.

After all, these museums have been devastated by Thompson's gang, but Brandon and the others showed this attitude!

Even Judge William stared at Ye Tian gloomily, almost swearing!

It can be seen that the old Thompson has a deep influence in Boston and it is no exaggeration to say that he is deeply rooted!

At this moment, Ye Tian was extremely grateful that he had been holding back until now to reveal the answer. If it was even half an hour earlier, it would 100% leak.
