Chapter 516: Big Boss Behind The Scenes

Kenny continued to introduce the situation of Pastor Thompson and the voice kept coming from the earphones.

"This Anglican clergyman does not only studied theology, he has a wide range of hobbies. During his studies at Notre Dame University, he also received a second degree. Guess what degree?"

"Is it a management degree? As we all know, the undergraduate business school of the University of Notre Dame is the top one!"

Ye Tian asked curiously, guessing by the way.

"You guessed it wrong, Thompson's second degree is a Bachelor of Fine Arts and majored in oil painting. How about this news is shocking enough!"

Kenny said triumphantly, listening very excited.

"Ah! Art degree, majoring in oil painting! Wow! This news is really shocking!"

Ye Tian exclaimed, but fortunately the voice 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 instantly thought of a lot.

Could it be that the two groups of international art thieves that they are looking for are all the same people! They are not only the robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum, but also the international art thieves hiding behind Tillerson and Donald.

And the painter who made a fake copy of Bacon's famous painting "George Dyer" is Pastor Thompson!

In his mind, Ye Tian quickly considered all the clues found in the two investigation directions and he suddenly discovered that all these clues can be linked together and they are very reasonable!

Pastor Thompson is very likely to be Tillerson's boss, the mysterious man who used the public telephone to continuously give out various instructions.

Is there anyone who is more familiar with the surroundings of the Old North Church than him? He is afraid there are not many!

He has been here for 30 years and he must know everything!

Everything can be explained! The most mysterious guy finally surfaced!

Ye Tian clenched his fists in excitement and almost cheered.

But obviously it is not time to celebrate and the location is not right! He calmed down a bit and then whispered:

"Many churches have oil paintings or frescos with religious themes. They usually need to be maintained. A minor in oil painting is undoubtedly a wise choice! Perhaps this is why he can enter the Old North Church!"

"Thompson is not only as simple as getting a second degree. Judging from the evaluations given by his classmates and teachers, his painting skills are not low and he is also considered a small famous at the University of Notre Dame!

He is particularly good at paintings on classicism and religious themes. On his internet information, anyone can see an oil painting he painted back then. Although I don't understand this stuff, it looks pretty good.

Eight years after coming to the Old North Church, Thompson went to the Massachusetts Institute of Art to study for a period of time, but his training was not in theology, but in oil painting and mural restoration.

In the field of oil painting restoration, he is now regarded as a half expert. He has participated in the restoration of religious oil paintings in many churches in Boston! Also leading several times!"

"Bingo! That's right!"

Ye Tian cheered secretly and lightly waved his fist!

At this time, he was already very sure of his judgment.

This pastor Thompson is definitely one of the robbers who ransacked the Gardner Museum and an international art thief hiding behind Tillerson and Donald.

And it is very likely to be the ultimate goal of their own investigation! The big boss behind the art crime syndicate!

With regard to the rise of this group of international art thieves, Ye Tian guessed in an instant.

The Gardner Museum robbery was just the beginning. Since then, these guys have been out of control and have quickly grown into real international art thieves! Leaving footprints all over the world!

Their division of labor is very clear. Andrew's shipping agency is responsible for transportation, smuggling top antique art stolen from all over the world into the United States and then handing it over to Pastor Thompson for processing!

Next, after passing through Pastor Thompson's fake artworks and then through charity auctions in Boston and other areas, the stolen goods were sold unconsciously and transformed into the most practical wealth!

In addition, there are a large number of errand middlemen, antique art brokers, appraisal experts, snatches responsible for the theft of art and many black market buyers and collectors in the entire operation.

This is a very large, well-organized and very cautious international art crime group! And the core characters in it are Pastor Thompson and Andrew!

As long as he catch them, he can easily uproot the entire art crime syndicate. Finding a large number of top antique artworks is even more certain!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian was so excited that he couldn't hold on himself, his eyes turned green, the same color as the US dollar!

Immediately afterwards, he immediately whispered excitedly:

"Kenny, Byrne, you did a great job! When this is over, each of you will receive a check. The number on it will definitely bring you a huge surprise and even make you crazy!"

Before the voice was over, there were already excited cheers in the earphones.

"Awesome! Steven, you are the most generous boss. I look forward to seeing that lovely check and seeing the numbers written on it!"

"Yes! Me too, thank you! Steven!"

When the cheers fell, Ye Tian smiled again and whispered:

"I have a strong hunch that our gain this time may be very huge and it is certain to shock the world of antique art collection!"

"Hahaha, of course! This treasure hunt is really exciting and enjoyable! I love this kind of life!"

There was a burst of hearty laughter in the headphones and Kenny and the others were crazy happy.

Later, Ye Tian said to Matisse and the others through the headset:

"Guys, give up the investigation of the permanent population, there is no need for it! Everyone will focus on the Old North Church. I'm sure that Pastor Thompson is who we are looking for."

"Okay! Let's come right now!"

Matisse and the others replied in unison, everyone was very excited!

Afterwards, several of them immediately gave up the investigation and began to concentrate on the Old North Church.

Ye Tian continued to issue commands through the headset.

"Kenny, you can find out the floor plan of the Old North Church as soon as possible and then send it to me. The drawings of several annex buildings are also required. Don't miss any of them. The more detailed the better!

You have to check all the circumstances of Thompson in the Old North Church. From the day he came here, it would be great if you could find every room he lived in!

Another point is to keep an eye on the surveillance around the Old North Church, in case the FBI group and Cook's men find this place, now is the most critical time, absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

"Okay, Steven, we will investigate right away and will send it to you soon. Walker and Raymond have been staring at the surveillance. No matter what happens, they will notify you as soon as possible!"

Kenny said excitedly, his voice trembling a little, all excited!

About five or six minutes or so, Matisse's voice came from the headphones again.

"Steven, we are here, you can make arrangements for the specific actions."

"Okay, I am going to enter the church to investigate. You just need to stay outside. According to the mobile phone location information, Pastor Thompson should be in the annex church to the east at this time!

There are two doors there. You keep your heads on both sides. If Pastor Thompson leaves the church, you will immediately follow. Don't let this respectable pastor out of sight.

Just in case, you separate two more people and stare at the two doorways of the old church to prevent him from suddenly appearing here without his mobile phone! Don't worry about Revere Garden!

Now that the goal has been determined and nothing can be said to keep the goal out of sight, I believe that as long as we keep a close eye on Pastor Thompson, we will definitely find a large number of antique works of art and make a fortune!"

"Received! Don't worry, as long as this pastor is still in the Old North Church, even if he has a pair of wings, don't want to get out of our sight!"

Matisse said categorically, immediately dispatched manpower, and began to act!

On the side of the old church, Ye Tian sorted out his emotions a bit, adjusted his state, then put a smile on his face and stepped into the Old North Church!
