The weather is good today, the sun is shining brightly, the temperature seems to be a few degrees higher than usual, and it is not so cold.
The Old North Church is bustling inside and outside, and tourists can be seen everywhere!
At around 10:50 in the morning, many tourists were visiting and taking photos inside the church or Rivera Gardens, or thinking about where to eat lunch and what to eat!
At this moment, a shrill and piercing siren suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, completely tearing apart the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around this famous historical building.
When they heard the siren, people immediately walked out of the church or walked to both ends of the garden, looking towards both sides of the street. Everyone's eyes were full of doubts and a bit worried!
"What happened? There are so many police cars, it sounds like they are coming towards the church!"
“I don’t know, nothing happened around me! Maybe the police are making a fuss out of a molehill, these guys have been frightened for a long time! Even a big thing can make a huge noise!”
Amidst the discussion, two huge Bearcat armored vehicles rushed into everyone's field of vision from east to west. The words "FBI" on the vehicles were very conspicuous!
Following closely behind were a dozen Taurus police cars, all with the words FBI printed on their bodies.
Not to mention, two helicopters roared from the sky. As can be seen from the logo on the fuselage, one is an FBI police helicopter and the other is an NBC TV interview helicopter.
After flying over the Old North Church, the two helicopters hovered more than a hundred meters in the air. The roar of their huge engines shocked everyone near the Old North Church.
Several police cars also drove up at high speed from west to east on Hanover Street, their sirens blaring extremely harshly!
As these police cars were speeding, they used loudspeakers to signal vehicles along the way to stop or change routes, causing chaos on Hanover Street.
When they drove more than 20 meters away from the south entrance of Rivera Garden, they all stopped. A dozen wheels lay across the street, directly blocking the entire Hanover Street.
The same goes for the other two streets near the Old North Church, which were quickly blocked by the police and FBI.
Seeing what happened in front of them, the people inside and outside the Old North Church and in the Rivera Garden were completely stunned, and fear began to breed in everyone's heart!
"Squeak——!"
A harsh brake sound suddenly sounded.
The huge motorcade coming from the east stopped at the south entrance of Rivera Gardens, opposite the new church on the south side of the old North Church.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of FBI agents in uniforms swarmed out of police cars. Many of them had anger on their faces, as if someone owed them three hundred dollars and hadn't paid back!
In addition to the uniformed FBI agents, there were also more than a dozen heavily armed FBI special police officers pouring out of the two Bearcat armored vehicles. Their faces were also very ugly.
In addition, a dozen heavily armed guys got out of several bulletproof SUVs a little further away, each carrying an automatic rifle. They looked fierce and very tough!
A group of guys carrying cameras and wearing NBC logos appeared next! Running towards Rivera Gardens!
What happened? How come I didn't know about such a big commotion?
Everyone at the scene was confused and had no idea what was going on, but they were also horrified!
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the FBI quickly provided an explanation.
"We are the FBI and we are here to perform official duties. Please understand and cooperate. Don't be nervous or panic. Line up and leave in an orderly manner!"
Through the car loudspeaker, Joey's voice reached everyone's ears.
Hearing this explanation, the tourists and passers-by at the scene were somewhat relieved.
It seems there is no imminent danger, just leave as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, people no longer cared about admiring the famous American National Historic Landmark building in front of them, and turned around and left here.
After broadcasting two or three times in a row, Joseph and Joey got out of the command vehicle and prepared to deploy the arrest operation.
As soon as the two got off the car, they saw David leading a group of people from the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company walking over, but Ye Tian and Matisse were not there!
After being stunned for a moment, Joey immediately asked in surprise:
"David, where's that guy Steven? Why don't you see him? His Paramount Predator is also missing. What's going on?"
There was nothing to hide, and David immediately told the truth.
"Steven left. He was going to sneak into the underground palace through another secret passage and monitor Thompson at close range to prevent the old guy from suddenly going crazy, setting a time bomb or setting fire to destroy the incriminating evidence!
In addition, there were many deadly traps set up in the passageway from the Old North Church apartment building into the underground palace, which were very dangerous. He planned to lift them from the inside to avoid unnecessary casualties! "
Joseph and Joey were completely dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
After two or three seconds, the two of them woke up, and Joseph immediately said angrily:
"Is there another secret passage? This **** Steven didn't even let it slip. It's so hard to hide it from us! He's such an out-and-out bastard, with too many tricks!
How many secrets does this **** Steven have? Can't you say it all at once? It has to be released bit by bit like squeezing out toothpaste, it's really torturous!
You must know that there are other secret passages. Let's send people to rush in through that secret passage and catch turtles in a jar. Then everything will be solved! Then there is no need to go to such trouble! "
You ask me, who should I ask? I am also confused! God knows how many secrets that guy Steven has!
David complained secretly, but what he said was something else.
"Why didn't Steven tell everyone that there was a secret passage? There must be a reason for him. Perhaps it was because the secret passage was very dangerous. In order to avoid casualties, he didn't tell everyone.
It is also possible that he wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for Thompson, lest the old guy find himself cornered and end up dead together, a result that no one would want to see.
Although Steven does not act together with everyone, he will always keep in touch and inform each other of the situation to ensure that the operation is successfully completed and the Thompson gang will be uprooted!
From now on, everyone on site who belongs to the Intrepid Exploration Company will be led by Mattis and I. If you, the FBI, have anything to do, you can contact us directly! "
Hearing this, what can Joseph and Joey say? There is nothing to say!
"As long as we can successfully solve this case, find the stolen top antiques and art, and get rid of this gang of art thieves who have been in Boston for 20 to 30 years and have committed numerous crimes!
As for that **** Steven, just let him be! To be honest, I have been in the FBI for so many years and have handled countless cases, and I have never seen a more difficult guy than him! I’m really convinced! "
Joy rolled his eyes and said with a helpless smile on his face!
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone nodded in sympathy.
……
Meanwhile, over at the Old North Churchyard.
Mattis and Peter drove away in the Paramount Predator. Ye Tian walked alone into the depths of the cemetery and disappeared behind the trees in the blink of an eye.
This is the exclusive cemetery of the Old North Church. It is located on a hill to the north of the church. It has been in existence for as long as the church. It has been two to three hundred years. It is the oldest cemetery in Boston!
Those buried here are basically the clergy of the Old Bei Church, with only a few exceptions, but they are somewhat related to the Old Bei Church.
After two to three hundred years, this exclusive cemetery has been filled with burials, leaving little open space.
This cemetery is in the shape of an inverted L, with the main part on the west side. Enter from the east entrance and walk for about 20 meters, pass through a forest, turn left and you will reach the main burial area.
On the east and south sides of the main burial area, there are several apartment buildings on each side, which just block the view from the direction of Charter Street, providing Ye Tian with perfect cover.
On the west side is Hall Street. Go down this street and walk one or two hundred meters south to the north gate of the Old North Church.
After turning left and entering the main tomb area on the west side of the cemetery, Ye Tian immediately quickened his pace and walked forward in long strides.
While walking, he whispered through the invisible earphone:
"Kenny, I'm going to set up a pinhole camera. Prepare to receive the signal and start monitoring immediately, watching everything that happens in the cemetery and recording it all!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out a pre-adjusted pinhole camera and stuffed it into the gap of a big tree on the roadside, facing the stone road he was on.
"Okay, Steven, the signal has been received. The picture is quite clear and the angle of view is also very good. Don't worry, I will record everything that happens in the cemetery without missing a beat!"
Kenny's voice came from the headphones, and he sounded very excited!
"Okay, remember what I just said, the surveillance footage here must not be leaked!"
Ye Tian warned again and arranged another pinhole camera.
During the march, he quickly installed four or five pinhole cameras to completely monitor the area, with almost no blind spots.
Moving forward for more than twenty meters, Ye Tian came to an ancient tombstone.
This is the oldest tomb in the cemetery. It can be seen from the text on the tombstone that the first priest who died after the Old North Church was built is buried here and is the first resident of this cemetery.
Perhaps for this reason, the Old North Church put a lot of thought into building this tomb. The entire tomb, from the tombstone to the tomb chamber, is made of granite, which is very strong!
Although it has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, this tomb is still quite well preserved. The writing on the tombstone is clearly legible, and the tomb chamber is also very complete without much damage!
But Ye Tian knew very well in his heart that this tomb was just a cover, a fake tomb specially built to cover up the secret passage leading to the underground palace of the Old North Church!
The skeleton in the sarcophagus in the tomb may not necessarily be the priest whose name is engraved on the tombstone. God knows where the skeleton was found, and used to make up for it and deceive others!
There is no doubt that this is a very cleverly conceived secret passage exit that is extremely difficult to detect. The fact that no one has discovered the underground palace after two or three hundred years is the best proof.
Ye Tian followed the secret passage from the underground palace to this place last time, and then looked through the outside, only to find that the exit was actually in a tomb, which surprised him.
Because this place is extremely secretive and almost impossible to be discovered, Thompson was very relieved and did not do anything here.
There are no pinhole cameras, no highly sensitive electronic sensors, and no deadly traps, everything remains the same! This is undoubtedly the best disguise!
But unfortunately, you met a buddy.
Under perspective, everything is invisible!
Ye Tian chuckled, squatted down and hid a pinhole camera in the weeds at the corner of the tombstone. The location was very hidden and extremely difficult to detect.
Then he turned his head and looked left and right.
Besides himself, there was no one around, and the sight of people in the apartment buildings on both sides was blocked by the tall trees in the cemetery, so there was no need to worry.
Besides, the attention of people in the apartment building was now attracted by the continuous sound of sirens from the Old North Church. Who would pay attention to this cemetery!
After confirming that it was safe, Ye Tian took two steps forward and walked around behind the tombstone, squatted with his back against the tombstone, and reached out to push open the stone slab covering the tomb.
Under the stone slab is a rectangular tomb, about five or six square meters, so the space is not small!
In the middle of the tomb is a gray granite sarcophagus with some religious patterns carved on it! It looks very quaint!
That is the entrance to the secret passage, leading directly to the underground palace of the Old North Church!
After opening the tomb, Ye Tian did not enter immediately. The air inside needed to be convection. After all, it was a tomb that had been closed for many years! Who knows what's in the air!
Taking this opportunity, he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands, then jumped gently into the tomb chamber and quickly restored the stone slab above his head to its original state.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the cemetery, as if he had never appeared before, leaving no trace except those pinhole cameras.
Kenny and Byrne, who saw this scene on the surveillance screen, couldn't help but exclaimed crazily.
They did not see Ye Tian push away the stone slab. They only saw him walking behind the tombstone and then disappearing. Of course they were shocked!
Two or three seconds after Ye Tian disappeared, Cook and five of his men suddenly broke into the surveillance range of the pinhole camera and appeared on the surveillance screen!
Seeing this scene, Kenny immediately reminded through the invisible earphone:
"Steven, that **** Cook is following you, with four or five of his men, be careful!"
"Hahaha, let them follow, I like these guys!"
Ye Tian said with a sneer, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
When he finished speaking, he had already put an outdoor headlamp on his head and turned on the switch.
The tomb, which was originally dark and invisible, immediately lit up.
After getting used to the light, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward, held the front of the gray sarcophagus with both hands, and pushed the heavy sarcophagus to the side!
"Kakaka"
With a slight sound of machine rotation, the front end of the sarcophagus began to slowly move in a clockwise direction.
The next moment, a dark hole appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes, and it became bigger and bigger!
