On the fourth floor of an apartment building deep in a small street, the tactical team led by Ye Tian clung to the corridor wall, maintaining battle formation, and stopped at the door of a dilapidated apartment.
As soon as everyone stood firm, Ye Tian immediately pointed to the old and graffiti-covered door in front of him and said in a low voice:
"Evan, your job is here. Open the door to this apartment and be safe! We will cover you!"
"Okay, Steven, we'll be safe!"
Evan nodded in response, then walked up to him with another New York police officer and started calling the door.
Walker, holding a police shield, immediately stepped forward, preparing to provide cover for Evan and the others.
Everyone else, including Ye Tian, had their fingers lightly placed next to the trigger of the assault rifle, with the muzzle pointed at the ground. They were all on high alert, ready to go into battle at any time!
This is the third apartment building they have searched. It is about 100 meters away from the south entrance of the small street. It has five floors and about 30 apartments. It is an old red brick building with a history of hundreds of years!
Like the other two apartment buildings we searched before, this apartment building looks OK on the outside and has a sense of history, but on the inside it is quite shabby, like a slum!
However, these have nothing to do with Ye Tian and the others. They just want to find those two Chicago scum as soon as possible, and then send those two scum to hell!
As for whether the people in these apartment buildings are living in dire straits, they don't care at all!
"Bang bang bang"
Evan first knocked on the anti-theft iron door a few times, then hid beside the door and shouted:
"We are the New York police, please open the door for inspection"
After a moment of pause, a slightly nervous male voice came from the apartment.
"New York police? How do I know if you are real or fake? Please show me your ID"
"Okay sir, we are from the Manhattan Police Department, here is my ID"
As he spoke, Evan took out his ID and showed it in front of the peephole of the security door.
After confirming that everything was correct, the white man in his fifties in the apartment just opened the door, and then stood on the side of the door with a slightly worried look in his eyes.
As soon as the security door opened, Ye Tian and the others maintained their fighting formation, walked quickly into the old apartment in a row, and began to search every room.
As supervisors, Evan and two other New York police officers stayed at the door and did not participate in the search. Evan stood inside the door, and the other two guys stood in the corridor outside the door, staring at the situation in the corridor.
After calming down for a moment, the white homeowner immediately asked curiously:
"Mr. Officer, are you searching for those two idiots from Chicago? I saw the arrest warrants for those two guys on TV, and I just received a notice from the police, telling us to stay at home and lock the door! ”
"Yes, we are indeed searching for those two scumbags. They are hiding nearby, maybe in your apartment building!"
Evan nodded slightly and said, giving a positive answer.
While the two were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already searched the two bedrooms and the kitchen, and all returned to the living room.
Those two Chicago scumbags are not here and can leave.
After returning to the living room and standing still, Ye Tian was about to speak, but his eyes were seemingly inadvertently attracted to an oil painting hanging in the living room.
"Hey! There is actually a landscape oil painting here. It looks pretty good and has some flavor."
As he spoke, Ye Tian took two steps forward and began to admire the landscape oil painting hanging on the wall of the living room.
This is a realistic landscape oil painting, about 1.5 meters wide and 1.2 meters high. The size is relatively large, and the frame is in an American country style!
The content of the picture is a river scene. There are several women and children wearing parasols and long skirts on the nearby river bank. Several people are playing on the grass on the river bank.
The middle scene is a large rippling river, meandering from a distance. The water is sparkling and crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and tall trees on both sides.
On the river in the distance, a white stone bridge flies on both sides. Standing on it is a woman wearing a red dress, also holding a parasol, looking over here.
The distant view of the oil painting is a lush forest, and at the end of the forest are rolling mountains. In the middle of the forest, you can still vaguely see a few red roofs.
The brushstrokes of the entire oil painting are quite delicate, and the painting method is flexible and natural. It is a typical realism style, and there is a vague romantic atmosphere in it, which is full of poetry and painting!
Unfortunately, due to improper preservation of this oil painting, the oil paint on the painting is slightly dry and even cracked in some places. There are also some cracks on the rustic wooden frame.
In Ye Tian's eyes, this landscape oil painting radiates dazzling red light and is extremely beautiful!
From the intensity of the red light emitted by the oil painting, he could accurately determine that it was an oil painting from the early 1860s.
In addition, the surface of this landscape oil painting is also wrapped with seventeen or eight layers of charming halos, revealing its artistic value and considerable market value!
There is no doubt that this is a landscape oil painting by a famous artist of the 19th century, with extraordinary artistic value.
While admiring the landscape oil painting attentively, Ye Tian also secretly turned on perspective and looked through the landscape oil painting again.
Before entering the apartment to search, he saw the landscape oil painting and the situation in the apartment through perspective.
He already knew that the two Chicago scumbags were not in this apartment, but in order to appreciate the landscape painting up close, he still asked Evan to open the door.
Under perspective, all the details and all the secrets of this landscape oil painting were clearly presented to Ye Tian's eyes, and no one was missed!
In the blink of an eye, he had a thorough look at this beautiful landscape oil painting, and he was sure that it was a work by the famous artist!
Then he withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
"Good evening, sir. I excuse you for interrupting me. Let me introduce myself. I am Steven. Nice to meet you."
Ye Tian turned around and looked at the white homeowner in his fifties, introduced himself with a smile, and extended his right hand, acting very friendly.
"Good evening, Steven, my name is Robert and I am the owner of this apartment. I am also very happy to meet you. To be honest, you are the first super rich person I can shake hands with. I am honored! "
Robert shook hands with Ye Tian vigorously, introduced himself, and was a little curious at the same time.
Why did this ruthless and notorious guy shake hands with me and get to know me? Is it because of that landscape oil painting?
After a few polite greetings, Ye Tian went straight to the topic and asked with a smile:
"Robert, I would like to ask where this landscape oil painting comes from? How much do you know about this oil painting? To be honest, I like this landscape oil painting very much and intend to keep it.
Because of the special circumstances today, we still have to hunt down those two Chicago scumbags and there is no time to waste, so I won’t beat around the bush. To tell you the truth, this is a very good piece of art!
If you are interested in selling, I will give you a pretty good price, enough for you to move out of Hell's Kitchen and live somewhere else. I'm sure your new life will be very comfortable!
If you don't want to sell it, that's okay. I'm very honored to see this landscape oil painting with my own eyes today, and I don't dare to ask for too much. What do you think? "
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Robert was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, his eyes full of disbelief and madness!
The eyes of the other people at the scene were full of envy. They kept looking at Robert, who had a dull look on his face, and at the landscape oil painting in the living room.
No one at the scene had doubts about Ye Tian's words.
Since Steven said that the landscape oil painting was a very good work of art, he was absolutely right. When had he ever looked past it? Never heard of it!
