Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 472 The Perfect Criminal Plan

Copying Ingres's paintings is not painted on another canvas, but directly copied on Bacon's "George Dyer" using an unknown special pigment!

There is no doubt that this is a very bold and imaginative approach! Even at the risk of completely destroying a classic painting! This demeanor alone is enough to make people admire!

What's even more amazing is that this extremely risky approach has succeeded!

The copied painting completely covered up "George Dale", and it was perfect without any flaws!

If it wasn't for Ye Tian's ability to see through and see through the illusion, otherwise it would be impossible to find the hidden Bacon's famous painting.

In his eyes, the two pigments on this canvas are like two pieces of skin, with a clear boundary, and no part is compatible, just like water and oil, they are clearly separated! Never get confused!

It is conceivable that as long as this painting is photographed, it will be easy to clean off the copying works on the surface when you take it home, so that the top famous paintings hidden behind can be seen again.

"What kind of paint is this? It's the most perfect camouflage material! It's almost impossible to be discovered! Who is this art thief? He's playing too advancedly! You can't even admire him!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed, eyes full of admiration! What an eye-opener!

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing.

This art thief must have a very high level of artistic accomplishment, probably an amateur painter, or even a professional painter. This deceitful copy is probably his masterpiece.

After all, this is a direct copy of the stolen artwork, and it is basically impossible to fake it!

Even if he didn't do it himself, he also had a group of very skilled and trustworthy copyists to help him cover up these stolen famous paintings.

The camouflage of the painting has been done to the extreme, impeccable, perfect!

However, how can the buyer be sure that the copy below is the famous painting he wants to buy? Aren't they afraid that this is a trap, that there is nothing under the copied works, and that they will be swindled by others?

After all, this is a black market transaction, there is no guarantee at all, and it is impossible to call the police!

Unless the buyer has some special method to see through the paint on the surface and see the real famous painting underneath, only in this way can he rest assured and complete this black market art transaction!

Thinking of this,

Ye Tian immediately withdrew his perspective and turned his head to look at Leo.

as expected!

Leo had already put on a pair of glasses at this time, and was concentrating on admiring the paintings on the display stand. With an excited smile on his face, he almost raised his arms and cheered!

Without even thinking about it, he used this pair of seemingly ordinary glasses to directly see through the paint on the surface of the painting and see the famous painting of Bacon hidden behind it.

And the properties of those special pigments should be similar to those of a certain developer, and under special light, it seems that they don't exist at all.

Now that the target is determined, it is estimated that Leo will transfer the money immediately to complete this black market transaction.

Then, he will raise his placard to bid for this top artwork at an extremely low price, and everything will be done without anyone noticing it!

Even when transporting, the copied painting on the surface can also serve as a cover-up, and it is easy to deceive layers of security checks and police, and successfully arrive in Miami.

Just go back to Miami and everything will be fine!

Leo only needs to carefully wash off the outer layer of paint, and he can harvest a top-quality work of art in no time, without any risk!

"It's so cautious! It's so seamless! Admire it!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed again.

Then, he began to speculate about the operation of the stolen money, which is the easiest place to show his feet.

With the caution of these art thieves, the bank account receiving the stolen money must not be in the United States!

These bank accounts are either in a highly confidential Swiss bank, or in a Caribbean island country or a tax haven like Liechtenstein, under the name of a leather bag company, which is very difficult to track!

Moreover, after the stolen money arrives in the account, it is very likely that it will be dispersed and transferred immediately, and then entered into the account of a multinational money laundering group to bleach the stolen money!

After some cleaning and thorough laundering, the money will become legal income and enter the numerous bank accounts of art thieves.

From then on, the money can be used aboveboard and even re-entered the United States!

After walking around like this, although the income of Art Thief will be greatly reduced, it is very safe! Is there anything more important than this?

Furthermore, no matter how small it is, it is still a very huge number. After all, they are doing business without money, and the turnover is all profit!

Although these are all guesses, Ye Tian is sure that his guess is pretty close.

No, after admiring the paintings with his glasses on for a while, Leo quickly took off his glasses, took out his laptop and started working, most likely he was doing bank transfers!

The two bodyguards sitting beside him were already on high alert at this moment, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, which further confirmed Ye Tian's conjecture.

Steal top art, surreptitiously contact buyers, cover famous paintings with special paint, find the right community charity auction, and make an anonymous donation.

Next, the buyer visits the site to inspect the goods in person, conducts bank transfers, quickly launders money, and finally the grand public auction! Let the buyer leave safely with the famous painting, and it will end with a happy ending!

Except for the great risk of stealing artworks, the rest can be said to be seamless, there are no loopholes at all, and there are no traces to be found! The perfect criminal plan!

It is absolutely impossible for the police and the FBI to catch up with these guys, it is almost a dream come true!

Even if they seize the stolen art and catch the buyer, it's hard to track down the seller.

It is likely that the buyer and the seller have never met in person during the entire transaction process, all communication and communication are carried out by telephone or the Internet, and the payment for the goods is also bank transfer.

Buyers don't even know if the seller is a man or a woman, what city they live in, and the seller is not stupid enough to keep a used phone or email!

How to check this? It is estimated that the exhausted police and FBI can't find a clue!

In addition, there are countless charity auctions like today's across the United States throughout the year, especially during major festivals, there may be many in one city!

If the art thief had chosen the auction at random, it would have been impossible to track down.

If this guy is smarter and notifies the buyer before the auction is about to start, and asks the buyer to go to a certain auction to receive the goods, it will be even more untraceable!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but give these art thieves two thumbs up, admiring them! What a bunch of criminal geniuses!

I don't know how many famous paintings these guys have sold using this method, I believe it is definitely not one or two, it is likely to be a very huge number!

The scale and number of art crimes are very large, and it is a transnational crime second only to drugs and money laundering. If they can design such a nearly perfect method of selling stolen goods, these guys must be the top art thieves!

While secretly sighing, Ye Tian also thought of another point.

That bastard Cook got the news from nowhere, he actually bit on this gang of art thieves, and wanted to make a fortune from them all!

I have to say that Cook's bastard is very courageous and has a bigger appetite! Not afraid of being strangled to death!

This bastard's approach is also very wise, if he can't catch the tail of the art thief, he should keep an eye on the buyer, maybe he can find clues.

As long as the deal is broken during the auction and this famous painting is snatched from Leo, the buyer may jump out and settle accounts with Cook in order to maintain his reputation!

If so, the scene will be lively!

It's just that Leo is more unlucky! I don't know that I have already become someone else's target. This time, not only may I return empty-handed, but I am afraid I will have to pay a huge price!

Money is only one aspect, if you can save your life and return to Miami, then you are lucky!

That bastard Cook is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. He can provoke some small African countries to fight civil wars for his own interests. How could he let go of a large number of top art works that are close at hand!

He will do everything possible to find this group of art thieves and take those top art works as his own. As for the means used, he must use all means!

Not only Cook is coveting these top artworks, Ye Tian is also very jealous of this huge wealth.

If you have money, you don't make money, you bastard! With such a huge fortune right in front of our eyes, how could we turn a blind eye?

Don't let me find any clues, if I find any clues, then all the top artworks will be mine, all the wealth will be mine, and no one can touch anything!

As for that bastard Cook, that idiot Leo, and those art thieves, stay cool! Just laugh if you can leave Boston alive!

Ye Tian made a decision in an instant to participate in this matter and loot this huge wealth.

But he didn't plan to raise a placard to compete for this famous Bacon painting. After all, he had promised Cook that he would not sell it today, so it would be difficult to backtrack.

He is going to start looking for clues from another direction, using his unique skills!

At the auction site, there must be eyeliners arranged by art thieves, watching the whole process of the transaction, ensuring the smooth progress of the transaction, and reporting the situation at any time.

They may not be involved in the auction, but they will definitely contact the guy behind the scenes.

As long as this eyeliner takes out his mobile phone and starts contacting, his chance will come.

At that time, not only can I determine who the eyeliner is and then track it, but I can also find out detailed information such as the identity and address of the eyeliner through perspective.

You can even find out the contact information of the guy behind the scenes, which would be perfect!

The next thing is very simple, under the perspective, these guys will have no secrets at all, and the huge wealth will definitely belong to themselves!

The most urgent task right now is to find out the eyeliner arranged by the art thief at the auction site!

After confirming these, Ye Tian immediately looked away from Leo, ready to act!

When he retracted his gaze, he glanced at Cook's situation by the way.

as expected! At this time, Cook was staring at the back of Leo's head like a hungry wolf, his eyes glowing green, and he was extremely excited.

At the same time, he was also staring at the oil painting on the display stand, already impatient.

The battle is about to begin! You guys fight first, and the buddies will join in later, the answer will be revealed soon!

After turning his head, Ye Tian immediately whispered:

"Matthew, Fermi, you sit here first. You don't need to raise your placards to bid for this oil painting. Just watch the show. There is a good show coming! I'll make a call at the door! I'll be back in a while!"

"Okay, you go, we are not interested in this oil painting at all"

Matthew nodded and said without thinking too much.

Then, Ye Tian stood up from his seat and walked quickly to the door.

Behind him, the new auctioneer Boris began to introduce himself, his voice was loud and full of passion!

Soon, Ye Tian walked to the door.

But he didn't go out to make a phone call, but stood at the door against the wall, watching the entire auditorium condescendingly, preparing to find out the eyeliner of the art thief hidden in the crowd.

The auction has started! A battle filled with gunpowder has begun!
