Chapter 486: Nowhere to Hide (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
The downstairs room is also covered with all kinds of surveillance and listening equipment, and it doesn't look like a five-star hotel suite at all, but more like an information center.
The difference is that the atmosphere here is very solemn, and everyone's face is full of frustration and disappointment!
"Fack! I've tried all kinds of methods, but I still can't listen to anything, it's all a noise! These guys upstairs must have set up anti-listening equipment, it's so cunning, it's invulnerable!
Steven's bastard's cell phone signal has also disappeared, and there must have been an anti-surveillance and anti-tracking transformation, and it is basically impossible for us to track this guy through mobile phone surveillance!"
"I'm afraid there is anti-surveillance equipment, and it is the top high-tech equipment today, otherwise we can't find a single loophole! It's so good to be rich! Steven, this bastard is too willing to let go!"
"They also set up their own set of monitoring and monitoring network, which can be seen from the hotel monitoring, and they have arranged pinhole cameras in the corridor and elevator entrance, without any monitoring blind spots!"
Several technicians from the FBI surveillance team discussed in a low voice, and everyone was so depressed that they wanted to smash the computer!
The leader of this monitoring team is like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the suite anxiously without stopping for a moment, his face is very ugly, darker than the bottom of the pot!
After walking back and forth, he finally stopped, turned his head to look at the computer on the table, and said through gritted teeth:
"Keep up the good work! I'm sure we'll find a loophole to spy on these bastards upstairs, judging from the current situation, Steven's bastard must be planning something big, otherwise he would never be so cautious!
We have to know what this bastard is up to! Find out what he wants to do, so we can have a strategy in place to prevent this bastard from ruining Boston, and no one wants to see that outcome."
Meanwhile, the upstairs room was a different story.
Ye Tian temporarily interrupted the introduction of the plan of action, and ate pizza with everyone, this is today's lunch, Miller went downstairs to buy it!
Time is short, so I can only deal with it simply!
After eating two bites, Peter, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly spoke:
"Steven, Matisse, come and see, there are visitors in our downstairs room, there are quite a few people, and they are carrying equipment, they should be coming for us"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Matisse immediately got up and walked over, stood behind Peter, and looked at the monitoring screen on the computer screen.
What the computer shows is the whole process of the FBI surveillance team entering the hotel until checking into the downstairs suite, and the picture is very clear, and everyone's face can be seen clearly.
"Kenny hacked into the Mandarin Oriental's surveillance system and found these guys while combing through the surveillance records, this is 40 minutes ago!"
Peter explained, zooming in on the surveillance footage a lot.
Looking at these surveillance screens, Ye Tian and Matisse invariably chuckled!
What is expected will come eventually!
Then, Ye Tian reached out and picked up another pair of headsets on the table and asked:
"Kenny, do you know who these guys are? Boston cop or FBI? or some other fairy? better find out who they are as soon as possible?
"No need to check, I know the identity of these guys, it's the FBI's surveillance team, one of the technicians I know, met at a geek party, he works for the FBI!"
Byrne suddenly interjected, with a hint of smugness in his tone.
"Since it's the FBI's surveillance team, let them go, they don't get any information anyway, it's just a waste of time.
Kenny, Bourne, great job! Now, you guys continue to monitor these FBI guys and send pictures of each of them as soon as possible.
If these guys can't monitor and listen to them all the time, they will probably use the most direct method and send someone to follow them! We need to know the situation of these guys."
Ye Tian said with a smile, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The Boston police and the FBI have entered the game one after another, and this drama is getting more and more interesting!
"Okay, I'll edit the picture right away and send it to you soon!"
Kenny's voice came through the headphones again, and I was very excited to listen to it.
Immediately after the call, Mattis continued:
"Peake, use the thermal imager to inspect the room downstairs and see what these FBI guys are up to, and don't let go of the upstairs and the room next door, just in case!"
"Okay!"
Pique answered, and immediately took out the thermal imager and began to test.
It didn't take a few minutes for the results to come out.
"There are a total of eight people downstairs, there are many heat sources in the room, and they are very concentrated, they should all be monitoring and listening equipment, and there is no one upstairs and the next room for the time being!"
"Let these FBI guys go blind, it's just a waste of time, don't bother! Let's get on with the pizza!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, then turned around and walked to the side.
Lunch ended quickly, and it was time to get down to business.
After everyone finished cleaning up and sitting down, Ye Tian picked up the topic just now, continued to explain the treasure hunt plan this time, and began to assign tasks.
"We had two targets, the first of which was the looted artwork at the Gardner Museum in Boston, which took place on St. Patrick's Day in 1990.
In that robbery, the Gardner Museum was ransacked with 13 top-notch works of art! each one was worth a lot of money, and it was valued at $500 million at the time, and it is certainly even higher now!"
Before the words fell, Matisse and the others had already exclaimed.
"Oh my God! The Gardner Museum Robbery! That was the biggest unsolved case in the history of art crime, and it has become a legend! The bounty in '97 was as high as $5 million, and now I'm afraid it's more than 10 million!"
"That's cool! We're going to find those top artworks and fight those art thieves! It's going to be exciting, it's fun to think about! I love this treasure hunt!"
At the same time, everyone was also shocked by Ye Tian's ambition again, and everyone was amazed!
Steven, this guy is definitely the craziest professional treasure hunter! There's nothing he doesn't dare to think about or do! This appetite is so amazing! It's jaw-dropping!
What's more, this guy has never failed, and I guess this time will be no exception! The top artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum seem to have become his own possession!
The thought of those priceless works of art made Matisse's heart beat wildly, and their eyes became incomparably brighter and more intense!
The performance of several of them was completely unexpected by Ye Tian!
Anyone else who hears those words just now must be the same kind of performance, or even more exaggerated!
That's a fortune that can make people crazy!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"That's right! 13 of the top artworks that were looted at the Gardner Museum, and I'm going to find them in Boston and keep a few of them for myself!
As soon as the whereabouts of these top artworks are discovered, then the Gardner Museum and the FBI Art Crime Unit will have to accept my terms and give me a portion of the artwork!
There are very few clues in this big robbery, almost no different from more than 20 years ago, and the FBI has not made the slightest progress in its investigation over the years, so it is not easy to find those top works of art!
I'm going to follow up on the Gardner Museum case on my own, looking for the top artworks that I can find as long as they're in Boston!"
Ye Tian's words were categorical and full of confidence!
The Gardner Museum robbery took place in the early hours of the morning, after a change of guard, and the two robbers had a very clear goal, and they went straight to the Dutch studio to ransack it when they entered the door!
Another point is that the two robbers were so bold that they calmly ransacked the museum for 81 minutes before driving away.
All this shows that the two robbers were very familiar with the Gardner Museum, and the possibility of the involvement of museum insiders cannot be ruled out!
Even if it wasn't someone inside the museum who was guarding the theft, the two robbers should have a close relationship with a member of the staff, perhaps a family member, relative, or friend!
Otherwise, they would not have been able to know so much about the inside of the museum, the timetable of the security guards, and they would not have been so calm!
This is definitely a wise saying, and there are very few exceptions, unless they are particularly sure that they don't have to worry about their own safety!
Starting from this point, the staff of the museum at that time, as well as their relatives, were investigated one by one, and Ye Tian was very sure that under his strong perspective ability, there was absolutely no secret that could not be discovered!
As long as these stolen top-notch artworks are still in Boston, you will be able to find these treasures and make a fortune!
But if they're no longer in Boston, then no one is in a bad position!
In addition, Ye Tian can basically be sure of one thing.
Either these top-notch works of art are still in the hands of those robbers, or they have been burned by two robbers, and there is no other possibility!
The impact of the Gardner Museum robbery was enormous, and it can be said that it ushered in a new era of unscrupulous art thieves!
It was from this great robbery that art robbers from all over the world began to rise up one after another, ransacking the world's major museums and creating countless art robberies.
In the world of antique art collections, there is hardly anyone who does not know about this earth-shattering robbery, and no one who does not know about the top works of art that were looted!
It is precisely because these artworks are so famous that they have been noticed by countless people, but they have no market and cannot be sold at all!
No collector dares to buy these stolen artworks, it is undoubtedly a cause for trouble, as long as the slightest bit of information is leaked, it will definitely be bitten by the FBI art crime team, and it will not stop!
More than 20 years have passed since the Gardner Museum robbery, and even after the prosecution period, these top works of art have never been seen on the market, not even the slightest news!
This means that the two robbers did not sell these top-notch artworks, or could not find a buyer at all!
Therefore, Ye Tiancai came to this judgment.
It is likely that the top-notch artworks are still in the hands of the robbers! Of course, the possibility of being burned is not ruled out!
