Chapter 596: Capture Objectives
It took about fifteen minutes before Joseph finished introducing the case.
In the process of telling, the whole banquet hall was completely boiling.
For the first time, dozens of FBI agents, many employees of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company, Raytheon security personnel, Judge William, etc., who learned of these for the first time, counted one as one and everyone was shocked and stunned!
Even the many museum curators, famous collectors and representatives of major art insurance companies who have watched some video materials were completely shocked!
The number and quality of the stolen top antique artworks displayed on the projection has completely surpassed the limit of their imagination, which is enough to make people crazy!
According to Joseph, this is not all!
Only then did they really realize how terrible these art thieves are. These guys are definitely the top and most rampant art crime gang! Unheard!
The same goes for the guys on NBC TV. They were all stunned! Looking at the projection screen in front of them with stunned eyes and Ye Tian standing in front of the stage, his eyes were full of incredible!
In addition to the shock, these guys are even more excited to be almost crazy.
As media reporters, they understand very well what all this means!
As long as the next action goes on smoothly, this special report and the follow-up documentary that they participated in shooting will definitely set off the screen and cause a huge sensation!
To be an exaggeration, they may be participating in a major event in history!
What is it, what is it like? Thinking about it, it makes me tremble all over!
When Joseph finished introducing the case and prepared to continue, he was interrupted by the lively discussion on the scene.
"My God! Boston hides such a huge international art crime syndicate and it has existed for 20 to 30 years. It is incredible!"
"Have you seen those stolen top antique artworks? Every piece is worth a lot and there are many national treasures of antique artworks. What a fortune! It's crazy!"
Except for Ye Tian, who knew it, everyone in the banquet hall was discussing enthusiastically, and the scene was extremely lively!
But Joseph's work was not finished yet and in desperation, he could only increase his voice and shout loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, please listen to me!"
After shouting a few times, the scene gradually became quiet.
Everyone suppressed the excitement and looked forward one after another. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation, looking forward to hearing more shocking content.
At the next moment, Joseph's voice came from the station again.
"Today's operation is divided into two parts. The FBI will be responsible for the arrest of those international art thieves and the art crime team will be the main one. This is our responsibility.
The work of clearing the warehouse containing the stolen top antique artworks and those stolen antique artworks is led by Steven's Brave and Fearless Exploration Company.
Regarding the work of cleaning up stolen antique artworks, Steven will explain later. Here, I will talk about the arrest work. FBI agents pay attention to it!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became more excited.
Especially those FBI agents, their eyes gleamed with excitement, full of expectation.
This is definitely a huge case. Who doesn't want to participate in it? For the police and FBI agents, this is the qualifications. Now that they ran into it, it would be a pity to miss it!
After a short pause, Joseph continued:
"In addition to Joey and me, there are forty FBI agents, 14 art crime agents and 26 agents from the Boston branch in this banquet hall.
There are a total of four people who are going to be arrested today. They are in four different places and each has a perfect cover identity. Therefore, our arrest team is also divided into four groups.
According to the importance of these guys, the number of members in the arrest's teams is not the same. The more important and dangerous guys are, the more important it is and the more members will be attach to the arrest's team.
The first group of twenty agents, ten agents of the art crime group, and ten agents of the Boston branch! Will be responsible for catching the main criminal and protecting those top antique artworks stolen!
The second group of ten agents is led by two art crime agents and the remaining eight agents are local Boston agents. The target is the guy who is second only to the main criminal!
The third group consisted of five detectives, one from the art crime team led the team and the remaining four were from the Boston branch. The target is the middleman, who was responsible for selling stolen goods in the periphery.
The situation of the fourth group is the same as that of the third group. The composition of the group is the same and the target is also another middleman. The task is not difficult and can be completed easily.
Joey will give a grouping plan later. No matter which group you are assigned to and what capture task you perform, I hope everyone can do their best and hand in perfect answers.
Colton, the director of the FBI's Boston branch, will lead the team to support and the Boston Police Department will also send a large number of police forces to cooperate with our operations to ensure that the operation is foolproof!
From the completion of the group to the end of the action, the members of each group must supervise each other and must not act alone. Even if they go to the toilet, they must be accompanied by someone, no one can be an exception!
It's not that I don't trust everyone, but because the target of this arrest is very special, I have to act cautiously. I hope everyone understands and cooperates. Even if you don't understand, you must cooperate!"
The voice fell, and there was another exclamation on the scene.
"Which gods are these international art thieves? Are they so supernatural? We need to be so careful, isn't it a bit too much?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of god he is! With such a careful arrangement, even if he is really a god, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape this net of heaven and earth.
Who allowed them to be targeted by Steven, a sinister and cunning guy! Admit himself to bad luck and it is better not to try to resist, it is very likely to lose his life!"
After his voice fell slightly, Joseph spoke again:
"That's all I have to say. Now, Steven will introduce you to the specific target of arrest."
After speaking, he walked down.
Ye Tian nodded at him and stepped onto the half-meter-high table in front of the banquet hall.
The two high-definition cameras near the entrance and the back of the stage aimed their lenses at him and were shooting.
The eyes of everyone on the scene were also focused on his face at this time, expecting him to tell the true identity of the group of international art thieves.
However, Ye Tian didn't get into the topic right away, but whispered through the earphones:
"Kenny, report the monitoring situation; Jason, according to the original plan, prepare to play video materials and picture information!"
"Roger that!"
The voices of Kenny and Jason came from the earphones, very clear.
The next second, Kenny began to report the monitoring situation.
"Thompson did nothing unusual in the new church south of the Old North Church; Andrew just get out of the pier and he will be at his shipping agency on Liverpool Street soon.
Tillerson was on the road, looking at his direction, he should be going to the gallery, it was almost there; Donald had been in the Boston University Library for a while and there was no abnormal behavior!"
"Okay, continue to monitor and notify me immediately if anything happens!"
Ye Tian said in a low voice, ending the call.
Seeing his series of actions, many people at the scene understood what was going on.
Behind Steven this bastard, there must be a lot of people who are constantly collecting information. God knows how many scouts this guy has put in Boston!
Both Joseph and Joey's faces were a little red, ashamed!
No wonder the bastard Steven is so well informed! Dumped us FBI more than eight streets, what a terrible guy!
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian looked at everyone in the audience and said:
"Okay, let me introduce you to these art thieves hiding in Boston. When you learn about their identities, you will definitely be shocked!
Let's start with a middleman at the outermost periphery. It was from this guy that I found clues to the existence of this group of art thieves and dug out the others. Please look at the projection!"
As he said, he reached out and gestured towards the projection screen behind him.
Jason cooperated very well, showing Donald's photos and others personal informations on the projection screen in due course.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of Ye Tian's explanation reached everyone on the scene.
"This guy's name is Donald, from Maine. He is a senior at Boston University. He has good academic performance and is considered a qualified college student.
He is the scout of these international art thieves. He is responsible for tracking the unethical collectors who come to collect the stolen goods at the charity auction. His work is very easy and he makes a lot of money!
To be honest, I even envy this buddy a bit! His method of working-study, earning money for the living expenses and tuition fees, is much easier than when I was in college and it is almost effortless!"
"Hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, the discussion sounded.
"Boston University student, really a perfect cover for identity!"
"Yeah! Who would have thought that this guy is actually a middleman of the international art thieves, it's incredible!"
Next, Ye Tian carefully introduced Donald's identity information and stripped this guy out!
Ye Tian didn't have any worries about telling Donald's identity in advance.
This guy is from Maine and is also a college student. It is almost impossible for these people in the banquet hall to know him, let alone tell him.
Even in the unlikely event that someone here has a good relationship with him, willing to take a huge risk to alert him, that would be of no use.
Those guys in Thompson's group weren't in one-line contact. Even if Donald knew that he had been exposed, he couldn't notify the hidden boss. He could only wait for Tillerson to call.
Tillerson is in the same situation and can only wait for Thompson to contact him!
Today is the day of closing the net. Time is running out. How could there be so many coincidences?
Therefore, Ye Tian confidently stated the identity of Donald.
But the next guy, about Tillerson's introduction, has to be a little more careful!
This guy is an authentic Bostonian! Who knows if anyone knows him at the scene?
After a short while, Ye Tian started to continue the introduction and Jason cooperated to type out relevant information on the projection screen.
"This guy's name is Tillerson, a native of Boston. He runs a gallery and should be considered a professional. He is also the gang of art thieves's middleman. He is mainly responsible for screening and contacting unscrupulous collectors.
According to my estimation, this guy is also responsible for sending the stolen antique artworks after disguise to the charity auction organizer, so as to successfully sell the stolen goods. The status should be more important and should not be let go!
Emphasize that these middleman have a single-line connection with the hidden boss. It is possible that they have never seen the hidden boss. When arresting, pay attention to the mobile phones on their bodies. You must not lose them. That is important evidence!
One more thing, if someone at the scene knows this guy and wants to sent a alert, advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, because the consequences of doing so are very serious and you will only be sent to prison!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed suddenly.
Without even thinking about it, Steven this bastard must have sent someone to closely monitor this group of guys and even monitor the other party's mobile phone, whoever leaks the secrets will be unlucky! There is no doubt!
