Chapter 515: Priest robber
It was ten o'clock in the morning in a blink of an eye.
Ye Tian leisurely walked into Prince Street in the center of Boston, like an ordinary passerby walking, without seeing anything suspicious!
At this time, he had already got rid of two groups of stalkers, and his appearance had been completely changed. He looked like a gentle white boy who had just walked out of the university campus, with a bit of youthfulness!
Princes Street is located in the North District of Boston, only two to three hundred meters away from the Old North Church, only two or three streets away.
The reason why he chose to get off the bus on this street instead of the Old North Church was to make himself look more like a tourist and avoid attracting the attention of others.
In addition, there is 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, while pretending to visit, they are secretly investigating the situation of the permanent residents here.
Ye Tian didn't say hello in the past, but whispered through the wireless invisible headset:
"Guys, I have arrived. Just behind you, you will continue to investigate the permanent residents on the periphery. I will go to the Old North Church to investigate and see if the pastor is the target we are looking for!"
"Okay, Steven, you go, I hope we can gain something today, if anything happens, let us know immediately, we can go to support at any time!"
Matisse whispered, neither of them looked back. They continued to admire the buildings on this old street, looking like that!
"OK! I have a very strong hunch that today we will have a big harvest!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, full of confidence.
Before the words were over, he had already passed by Matisse and them, and continued to move forward without stopping.
Within a few minutes, he was already standing at the door of the Old North Church, pausing to admire this ancient building in the Georgian art style.
The Old North Church, officially named ‘Boston Christ Church’, is a church in the Massachusetts parish of the American Episcopal Church. It is 53 meters high and has a masonry structure. The interior and exterior decorations of the church have a strong colonial color.
This church was built in 1723 and is the oldest and most active church in Boston. It serves the religious beliefs of Boston citizens and is a national historic landmark in the United States.
In American history, the position of this church is very important and has extraordinary historical significance.
During the American Revolutionary War, the famous signal ‘if it comes from land, light one lamp; if it comes from sea, light two lights’, it is said that it was sent from the Old North Church!
The Old North Church became famous on the night of April 18, 1775.
At that time, the British planned to attack the ammunition depot in Concord, outside of Boston. The patriotic hero Paul Revere put two oil lamps on the church steeple to notify the militia guarding the depot.
He himself rode to Concord and Lexington to report the news overnight, and Lexington's militia was able to calmly confront the British army that appeared early the next morning.
This battle was the sound of gunfire in Lexington, officially opening the prelude to the American Revolution.
To commemorate Paul Revere and to commemorate the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, after the independence of the United States, a bronze 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, its area began to expand after the independence of the United States.
It includes not only the main building of the church built in 1723, but also several outbuildings 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 complex of buildings across three streets, and the scale is quite impressive!
At this time, Ye Tian is standing in front of the main building of the church built in 1723. This is the first place he plans 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 a lot of people, it is quiet and peaceful here!
No one is making loud noises, there is no chasing, after all, this is a church, not a department store or a restaurant. Everyone understands that the atmosphere cannot be destroyed.
Follow the locals!
Ye Tian does not believe in Christianity, but he can respect the beliefs of others and not destroy this tranquility.
After standing at the door for a while and admiring the ancient buildings, he followed other tourists and strolled into the courtyard of this ancient church.
After entering the small courtyard, he did not immediately enter the interior of the church. Instead, he wandered around in the small courtyard, seeming to admire the architecture here, looking intoxicated.
He is not a student of architecture, and he is not interested in coming here to appreciate and study Georgian architecture. Of course he has a purpose in doing so.
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 is the investigation? What are the gains?"
When the voice fell, Kenny's voice came immediately, listening very excited.
"Steven, after our intensive investigation, we have basically found out the details of this Pastor Thompson, and the rewards are very great. You may have found the right person this time!
Although I really don’t want to speculate like this, this Anglican clergyman is indeed very likely the art thief who ransacked the Gardner Museum back then! "
"Hahaha, interesting, let's hear it! I am very interested in this pastor"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
Hope this kid Kenny’s speculation is true, then it can be done! Complete the Gardner Museum robbery! Pick up the top art stolen and make a fortune!
After a short pause, Kenny's voice came again.
"Okay, let me introduce this pastor. Thompson is Andrew's distant cousin. From Andrew's mobile phone call record, we can see that the two of them are in constant contact and the relationship is quite good!
Thompson graduated from the University of Notre Dame Theological School with a master's degree in theology. In the past few years, he studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Theological Seminary for a few years, and got a doctorate in theology. "
"Hey! Unexpectedly, he is still a Doctor of Theology. It's so rare! It seems that this pastor's academic level is quite good. No wonder he can serve in the Old North Church!"
Ye Tian said softly, Thompson's resume really surprised him.
"It's really rare! After graduating from Notre Dame Theological School, Thompson returned to Boston, entered the Old North Church, and became a priest here.
He has been staying in the Old North Church for thirty years since then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and he has 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 in the Old North Church for three years. According to the situation at the time, he had time to commit the crime and his age was similar to that of the robber, which is doubtful!
The transportation from the Old North Church to the Gardner Museum is very convenient. More importantly, he has a perfect cover. Who would doubt that a clergyman would cause a terrible robbery? "
Kenny continued to introduce the situation, with a lot of surprise and emotion in his tone!
"That's right, this is indeed the perfect cover. Even if the Boston police and the FBI want to break their heads, I am afraid they will not suspect that a clergyman is an art thief and will rob the Gardner Museum!"
Ye Tian then whispered, also feeling deeply.
The virtuous pastor may be an international art thief. He personally created the largest robbery in art history and ransacked 13 top artworks!
This is unbelievable, if this matter is said, I am afraid it will shock everyone's jaw!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
It's getting more and more interesting. God knows what will happen next, it's worth looking forward to!
