At five o'clock in the afternoon, the FBI Boston branch.
It was still in the previous meeting room, sitting across from Ye Tian and the others, still the old FBI acquaintances, Joseph, Joey, and Colton, Director of the Boston branch.
At this time, these three are all red-faced, full of vibes, one by one and one spirit.
In the past few days, they can definitely be regarded as the three most outstanded people in the entire FBI system. Of course, it is not surprising that they are in this state.
After Ye Tian finished talking about the situation at the hotel, Colton immediately took over the conversation and began to introduce the arrangements for escorting Ye Tian and the others back to New York.
"Steven, we have made arrangements. Tomorrow we will send a Bearcat armored vehicle and 10 FBI special agents to assist you in escorting those antique works of art.
The art crime team will also send four agents, along with the four agents of our Boston branch, in two Taurus police cars, and escort you all the way back.
A helicopter in our branch will also be dispatched at the same time. Coupled with your security forces, I believe it is strong enough to deal with any situation!"
"That's great! Colton, you are right. This is strong enough and absolutely foolproof. Thank you for your support!"
Ye Tian expressed his gratitude with a few words of kindness.
Although he thinks that his current force is enough to safely transport all the antique artworks back to New York, there is a bunch of free security like the FBI, so why bother!
Besides, this is just an excuse. The main purpose of coming to the FBI Boston branch today is not this.
"You're welcome, Steven, we should thank you for helping us solve this terrifying case, unplugging such a huge art crime syndicate, and making Boston safer!"
Colton said with a smile, in a very sincere tone.
"That's what I should do. Boston is a beautiful city. There shouldn't be this kind of cancer, let alone such unscrupulous crimes!"
Ye Tian nodded in response, and the tone was very high.
Hearing these words, the people on the other side couldn't help but vomit secretly.
If there is no huge profit temptation, this bastard would stretch out this kind of nosy? Why do they not believe it so much!
If it were not for the stolen top antique artworks, even if Boston became hell, this guy would probably not even look at it!
Not only a few people in the FBI think so, even David and Matisse have almost the same idea.
They understand better than anyone that Ye Tian is definitely a guy who is not unprofitable and can not afford to be early. How could he help the people of Boston to clear the cancer of crime for no reason! Unless his brain is sick!
After chatting a few nonsense nonsense, inadvertently, Ye Tian brought the topic to the main purpose of this trip.
"I would like to ask, how do you deal with the things that were found from Andrew's shipping agency and from Tillerson Gallery? Are there any surprises?"
Joey shook his head and explained with a little regret:
"These guys are very cautious. Except for the two top famous paintings in Thompson's bedroom, in none of the other guys' companies, homes, and other places were found any stolen antique artworks.
There are many paintings in the Tillerson Gallery, but they are all common, and the origin is clear, there is nothing suspicious. Donald has no antique works of art except luxury goods!
The same goes for Andrew. We found a large number of top luxury items from his home and company. There are a dozen antique artworks, but none of them are of much value, and most of them are fakes.
Just in case, we asked antique art appraisal experts to appraise everything we found. Unfortunately, it was all in vain and there was no surprise discovery!"
"It's a pity! Where are the antique artworks found? If I can, I want to go and see it, maybe I can find anything!"
Ye Tian asked casually, behaving very naturally.
"Because there is no value, and it is not a stolen antique artwork, we didn't put those things in the evidence room, all in a warehouse, if you want to see it, then there is no problem!"
Colton told the whereabouts of those items without thinking about it.
The same goes for Joseph and Joey, who never thought that Ye Tian would dig out the treasure from that warehouse.
Those things have been appraised by several appraisal experts. How could there be missing top antique artworks? Don't worry at all!
But the fact is on the contrary, there is indeed a top famous painting there, and it is a work that Ye Tian likes very much!
Hearing Colton's explanation, Ye Tian immediately cheered in excitement.
Awesome! That "The Goose Girl" must belong to him, no one wants to take it away!
There are no obstacles on the FBI's side. Going to the warehouse to take away a worthless fake, this is still a bit of face!
As for Andrew, there won't be any problems.
If he doesn't want his sentence to become longer, he will never take the initiative to tell the authenticity of this famous painting, let alone pursue it!
It's time to act! The time is fully ripe,
The next moment, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Director Colton, the business is settled, there is still some time now, I really want to see those things, find an agent to take us there!"
"Okay, no problem, let's make arrangements for you!"
Colton agreed very readily, and picked up the phone as he said, ready to call someone in.
At this moment, Joey suddenly interjected and said:
"There is no need to arrange for others. I will take Steven and them to the warehouse. There is nothing wrong now, just to move their hands and feet!"
Got it! This guy is still suspicious!
Ye Tian said to himself with a smile, but said with a smile:
"That would be great! Let's go downstairs, it's getting late, we have to rush back to the hotel later, after all, there are a lot of top antique art over there, I am still a little worried!
Then he stood up, ready to leave this conference room.
Joey also had no objections, and also stood up, planning to accompany Ye Tian and the others downstairs.
"Steven, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Although you guy is difficult to deal with, and extremely cunning! But the cooperation between us is still very pleasant and the results are very fruitful!"
Joseph stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, in a very sincere tone.
"We definitely still have a chance to work together again. Perhaps when we meet next time, you will have taken a step forward and become the head of the FBI Washington DC!"
While shaking hands, Ye Tian also sent a series of compliments. Anyway, he didn't need any money, why not do it!
Obviously, this is what Joseph wants to hear most.
In a blink of an eye, the old guy was already smiling so hard that he could not see his eyebrows.
"With your auspicious words, I hope there will be such a day! That would be perfect! I won't give it away. I wish you all the best tomorrow! Goodbye!"
"Okay, don't pass this, see you later!"
After saying goodbye to Joseph and Colton, Ye Tian and the others left the meeting room and followed Joey to the warehouse on the basement floor.
A few minutes later, they had entered an underground warehouse of the FBI Boston branch.
The warehouse area is small, about 100 square meters, and there are many paintings and other things on several wooden shelves, as well as many top luxury goods.
This is what the FBI agent found out from Andrew and Tillerson. There are a lot of them! It's all on the shelf.
After entering the warehouse, Ye Tian immediately began to check these things.
He dismissed those high-value luxury goods at all. What he paid attention to was all paintings and objects that were suspected of being antiques.
Of course, he was acting in a play for Joey and another FBI art crime team agent.
In about twenty minutes, Ye Tian had finished appraising all the objects, and then carrying the famous French painter Miller's "The Goose Girl", he walked to Joey, very casual.
"Joy, there are really no surprises here. You are right. These guys are very cautious. They didn't place stolen top antique artworks in their homes and offices.
After strolling around, I found that this "The Goose Girl" is still good. In order not to go back empty-handed, I want to take this painting away and take it back to the company as an ornament. Are You think that's okay?"
With that said, he raised the famous painting in front of Joey.
Looking at the oil painting in his hand, and the random movements, it is impossible for Joey to associate this oil painting with top art.
As the head of the FBI's art crime team, he is also considered a half-professional, and he thinks he knows the authenticity of the painting in front of him.
The famous French painter Miller's masterpiece, "The Goose Girl" is now in the exhibition hall of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, and has never left there!
Then the "The Goose Girl" in front of him can only be a fake copy, there is no doubt about it!
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said:
"Steven, you can take away this oil painting. Anyway, it's a fake. It doesn't have much value. Is there anything else to see?
"Thank you, Joey, there is nothing left to see, let's get out of here, we should go back to the Battery Wharf Hotel!"
Ye Tian arrived to express his thanks and walked to the door with the top-notch painting by Miller.
At this moment, although his expression is still calm, there is no abnormality, but his heart is already crazy!
