Treasure Hunt all over the World

Thompson is a white Irish priest, about 1.8 meters tall, with brown hair, a thin face, kind eyes, and a pair of glasses, looking quite refined.

In appearance alone, he looks more like an intellectual or a university professor than a priest.

But who would have imagined that behind such a refined appearance and a respectable identity, there is actually a top international art thief hidden, which is unbelievable!

Thompson's assistant was a young man, also white, twenty-six or seven years old, following Thompson's side, respectfully.

After the two entered the south gate of the Old North Church, they immediately walked towards the annex next to it.

Just as Pastor Thompson opened the door and was about to step into the two-story building, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Pastor Thompson, please wait a moment!"

Hearing the shout, Thompson and his assistant immediately stopped, then turned to look in the direction of the sound!

It was Ye Tian who called out to stop them.

Within three or two steps, Ye Tian walked up to Thompson and his assistant, first smiled and nodded, and then said respectfully:

"Good morning, Pastor Thompson, I'm taking the liberty to interrupt, can I delay you a little? I have something to ask, I hope you can listen."

Thompson and his assistant turned around one after another, staring at the guy who suddenly appeared, with a bit of alertness in their eyes.

After a while, the assistant was about to speak, but was stopped by Thompson raising his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth and said:

"Good morning, this gentleman, what's the matter with you? I have some time now, let's talk about it, but I can't guarantee that I can help you!"

"Thank you, Pastor Thompson, it's a great honor for you to listen to me, I appreciate it! My name is Jack, I'm from New Haven, you can just call me Jack.

There's a reason why I'm taking the liberty to bother you. My grandmother has an oil painting, a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci that my grandparents copied in Florence during their wedding trip.

It was my grandfather who copied this classic painting. He passed away a few years ago, leaving only my grandmother, this copied painting, and countless beautiful memories.

Unfortunately, due to improper maintenance, this copy painting has caused some damage and a lot of stains on it, which is very difficult to clean and restore to its original appearance.

Although it is just a copy, it is not worth much, but it means a lot to my grandmother, seeing things and people! Whenever she sees this painting, she thinks of my grandfather, of that sweet time! "

Ye Tian made up a name at random, and then began to babble nonsense, speaking in a eloquent and touching voice!

Just tell a story! It's very easy to come by!

Anyone who collects antiques and art, who can't tell a story? This is the way to eat!

Hearing these words, Thompson couldn't help but sigh.

"Da Vinci's, it is indeed a classic famous painting, and it is the first masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, which has very high artistic value and research value.

The story of your grandparents is also very touching, they are so happy and enviable! It's a pity that the painting that holds sweet memories has been defaced, I don't know what I can do? "

When he said these words, Thompson had a general understanding of what the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him was going to do, and he immediately relaxed his guard and secretly relieved!

all the best! Time to get to the point!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

"My grandmother wants to restore this oil painting to commemorate my grandfather and that sweet time. In this case, those of us who are the younger generation will naturally find ways to satisfy the old man's wish.

I heard from a friend that you are an outstanding classical oil painting restoration expert,

That's why I came to disturb, just to ask you to help repair this oil painting. Can you see it?

Of course, we will pay the corresponding remuneration for this. This can be discussed in detail. The amount will definitely satisfy you. The remuneration can either go through your personal account or donate directly to the church! what ever! "

Sure enough, he came to ask me to restore the oil painting!

A smile appeared on Pastor Thompson's face, but he did not immediately nod to agree or refuse, but asked curiously:

"Why did you come to Boston to find me? As far as I know, there is no shortage of classical oil painting restoration experts in New Haven. There are several at Yale University, all of whom are better than me! Why bother?"

"That's right, the restoration level of the classical oil paintings of the gentlemen at Yale is indeed very high, on par with you, but they are not priests, that's the most important thing!

It is because of your status that grandmother decided to let you repair this oil painting, so that she can feel more at ease, which is why I am here to disturb you"

Ye Tian explained the reason, it sounded reasonable, and secretly held the priest in front of him.

The scene fell silent, and Thompson began to ponder.

After two or three seconds, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, then continued:

"Jack, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer you right away about the restoration of the oil painting, let me think about it! This is my assistant, Benjamin, tell him about the situation first!

It's best to take a few more pictures of the stained oil painting, I'll take a look back, and I'll give you the answer later, I still have something to do here, I'm leaving now, it's a pleasure to meet you! Sorry, see you later! "

Thompson introduced the assistant, then prepared to leave.

"Nice to meet you too, Pastor Thompson, have a nice day! I look forward to your reply, bye!"

Ye Tian said politely, and then waved goodbye to the other party.

Then, Pastor Thompson turned and walked into the small building behind him.

"Come with me, Jack, let's go to the reception room upstairs"

Benjamin said politely, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, excuse me!"

Ye Tian responded, stepped forward and followed Benjamin into the church annex.

After entering the building, he first looked at the situation in the building, and then asked casually:

"Is this building from the same period as the Old North Church? The architectural style and interior decoration are almost identical, both in Georgian art style"

"That's right, this building was also built in 1723. From the day the Old North Church was built, it was the residence of the clergy, and there are a lot of documents preserved, and it's the same to this day!"

Benjamin explained a few words without thinking about it at all.

"Huh! How did Pastor Thompson go to the basement? He's a pastor, he can't live in the basement, right?"

Ye Tian glanced at the direction of the stairs and asked curiously.

Just as he asked, Thompson's figure had disappeared from the front stairway and went to the basement.

Benjamin also looked at the direction of the stairs, and then explained with a smile:

"Of course Pastor Thompson does not live in the basement. The bedroom is on the second floor. There is a room in the basement that is Pastor Thompson's personal studio. He should go to the studio!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked with a look of interest:

"Personal studio! This is so rare. I didn't expect that there are artists among the clergy. Can you tell me the origin of this personal studio? I am very interested!"

"Of course! This private studio used to be a reference room. When Pastor Thompson came to Old North Church 30 years ago, he emptied the materials in it and used it as his bedroom!

He lived in it for five or six years, until he was promoted to a priest, and he moved out from there and moved to the upstairs bedroom, but the basement room was not given to anyone else, and he converted it into a personal studio!

So far, he has used that personal studio for nearly 30 years, and it is completely his private space, never allowing outsiders to enter or disturb it, it is very private!

Pastor Thompson spends an hour or two in the studio almost every day, as everyone knows, he has long been used to it! He should be going to the studio at this time, and he won't be out until lunch time!

Most of the classical oil paintings he restored were done in that studio. If he agrees to your request, your oil painting should also be restored in this studio! "

Benjamin didn't take any precautions, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and said everything he knew.

awesome! Nine times out of ten, Thompson's secrets are hidden in this studio, which may be the warehouse that hides a large number of stolen antique art!

Ye Tian felt ecstasy in his heart, and he wanted to give Benjamin a warm hug to thank him for his frankness and complete trust!

While speaking, the two had already reached the door of the reception room.

Benjamin stretched out his hand to open the door and said politely:

"Jack, please come in, let's talk about your oil painting here"

"OK!"

Ye Tian returned a bright smile and stepped into the reception room.
