Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 515 Priest Robber
It was ten o'clock in the morning.
Ye Tian walked leisurely into Princes Street in the center of Boston, like an ordinary passerby walking, without seeing anything suspicious!
At this time, he has already thrown off two groups of stalkers, and his appearance has completely changed. He looks like a gentle white boy who has just walked out of the university campus, but still looks a little green!
Prince Street is located in the North District of Boston, only two or three hundred meters away from the Old North Church, only two or three streets away.
He chose to get off this street instead of Old North Church to make himself look more like a tourist and avoid attracting attention.
There is also a more important reason, Princes Street is a relatively secluded street with few people and no surveillance cameras.
As soon as he walked into the street, he immediately saw Matisse and Pique not far ahead.
These two guys have also completely changed their appearance. They are pretending to be two foreign tourists, and while pretending to visit, they are secretly investigating the situation of the permanent residents here.
Ye Tian did not go over to say hello, but whispered through the wireless invisible earphone:
"Guys, I've arrived, right behind you, you continue to check the permanent residents in the periphery, I'll go to the Old North Church to investigate, to see if that pastor is the target we're looking for!"
"Okay, Steven, go ahead, I hope we can all gain something today, if anything happens, let us know immediately, and we can go to support at any time!"
Matisse said in a low voice, neither of them looked back, and continued to admire the buildings on this old street. It looked like that!
"OK! I have a very strong hunch that we will have a great harvest today!"
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, full of confidence.
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked past Mattis and the others, and he continued to walk forward without any pause in his footsteps.
In a few minutes, he was already standing at the door of the Old North Church, stopping to admire this ancient building in Georgian art style.
The Old North Church, officially named 'Boston City Christ Church', is a church in the Massachusetts Diocese of the American Episcopal Church. It is 53 meters high and has a masonry structure. The interior and exterior of the church are decorated with strong colonial colors.
Founded in 1723, this church is the oldest and most active church in Boston, serving the religious beliefs of Boston citizens and is a National Historic Landmark.
In the history of the United States, this church has a very important position and has extraordinary historical significance.
During the American Revolutionary War, the famous signal 'If by land, light one light; if by sea, light two lights' is said to have been sent from the Old North Church!
The Old North Church became famous on the night of April 18, 1775.
At that time, the British army planned to attack the ammunition depot in Concord, outside Boston, and the patriotic hero Paul Revere hung two oil lamps on the church steeple to warn the militiamen who were guarding the weapons depot.
He himself rode to Concord and Lexington to report the news overnight, so that the Lexington militia was able to calmly face the British army that appeared the next morning.
The battle was the sound of gunfire in Lexington, officially kicking off the American Revolutionary War.
To commemorate Paul Revere and the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, after the United States became independent, a bronze equestrian statue of Paul Revere was erected in the garden in front of this church.
In this church, there is a bust of George Washington, the first president of the United States. According to the evaluation of the famous Marquis of Lafayette, this should be the best statue in Washington.
The area of the Old North Church was not large when it was established, but due to its special historical status, after the independence of the United States, its area began to expand.
It includes not only the main building of the church built in 1723, but also several annexed buildings next to it.
As well as the Paul Rivera Garden in front, and another church in front of the garden.
Today, the entire Old North Church is a building complex spanning three streets, with a considerable scale!
At this time, Ye Tian was standing in front of the main building of the church built in 1723. This was the first place he planned to explore today.
There are many tourists inside and outside the church, from all over the United States, and even from all over the world, bustling!
Although there are many people, it is very quiet and peaceful here!
No loud noises, no chasing, after all, this is a church, not a department store or a restaurant, and everyone understands that they can't spoil the atmosphere here.
Do as the Romans do!
Ye Tian does not believe in Christianity, but he can respect other people's beliefs and not destroy the tranquility.
Standing at the door for a while, admiring the old buildings, he followed other tourists and strolled into the courtyard of this ancient church.
After entering the courtyard, he did not immediately enter the interior of the church, but strolled in the courtyard, seemingly admiring the buildings here, looking intoxicated.
He wasn't an architecture student, and he wasn't interested in coming here to appreciate and study Georgian architecture, which of course had a purpose.
While walking around, he was chatting with Kenny in a low voice, and the content was naturally the target of today's investigation.
"Kenny, tell me about the pastor Thompson. How's the investigation going? What's the catch?"
As soon as the voice fell, Kenny's voice came immediately, and he was very excited.
"Steven, after our intensive investigation, we have basically found out the details of this pastor Thompson, and the gains are very huge, you may have found the right person this time!
Although I don't really want to speculate like this, this Anglican clergyman is indeed very likely to be the art thief who ransacked the Gardner Museum back then! "
"Hahaha, interesting, let's hear it! I'm very interested in this pastor"
Ye Tian smiled and whispered, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
I hope that the speculation of this kid Kenny is true, then it can be done in one battle! Complete the Gardner Museum Heist! Pick up those top-notch stolen artworks and make a fortune!
After a moment, Kenny's voice came again.
"Okay, let me introduce this pastor. Thompson is Andrew's distant cousin. It can be seen from Andrew's mobile phone call records that the two of them are in frequent contact and have a pretty good relationship!
Thompson graduated from Notre Dame Theological Seminary with a master's degree in theology. He studied at MIT for a few years and received a doctorate in theology a few years ago. He is a respected pastor! "
"Hey! I can't believe he is a doctor of theology, it's too rare! It seems that the pastor's academic level is quite good, no wonder he can serve in the Old North Church!"
Ye Tian snorted, Thompson's resume really surprised him.
"It's really rare! After Thompson graduated from Notre Dame Seminary, he returned to Boston, entered the Old North Church, and became a clergyman here.
For the next thirty years, he stayed in the Old North Church and never moved his nest. This is very rare among the clergy, at least I have never seen or heard of it!
When the Gardner Museum robbery happened, he had been at the Old North Church for three years. Based on the circumstances at the time, it was inferred that he had the time to commit the crime, and his age was similar to the robber, which was doubtful!
With easy access from the Old North Church to the Gardner Museum, and more importantly, he has the perfect cover, who would suspect a clergyman could pull off a horrific robbery? "
Kenny continued to introduce the situation, with a lot of amazement and emotion in his tone!
"That's right, this is indeed the most perfect identity cover. Even if the Boston police and the FBI want to break their heads, I am afraid they will not suspect that a cleric is an art thief and will loot the Gardner Museum!"
Ye Tian then said in a low voice, with the same emotion.
The highly respected priest may actually be an international art thief. He personally created the biggest robbery in the history of art and looted 13 top artworks!
This is simply unbelievable. If this matter is said, I am afraid it will shock everyone's jaws!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
It's really getting more and more interesting. God knows what magical plots will appear in the future. It's worth looking forward to!
