In a few steps, Giovanni and the SWAT team leader came closer, along with a senior police officer in a black police uniform, about fifty years old.
Without exception, the expressions of these three Italian guys were very solemn, with anger and a bit of doubt in their eyes.
After meeting and greeting, Giovanni introduced the identity of the strange police officer.
"Steven, this is the deputy chief of the Rome Police Department, Enrique, who is mainly responsible for the anti-organized crime department. To be precise, he leads the anti-Mafia department"
"Good morning, Mr. Enrique, I'm Steven, nice to meet you"
Ye Tian greeted him with a smile and shook hands with the other party.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am Enrique, I work in the Rome Police Department. I am also pleased to meet you. Welcome to Rome"
Enrique said politely, his behavior was quite decent.
After a few pleasantries, Giovanni got down to the topic and asked solemnly:
"Steven, can I ask about your whereabouts after entering the Vatican last night? Especially at midnight, did you or any of your men leave the Vatican?"
Hearing Giovanni's question, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't understand why he asked this and for what purpose?
Even Betty was confused and confused at this time.
Ye Tian also showed a surprised expression, pretending to be puzzled and said:
"Giovanni, I don't quite understand, what's the purpose of your asking? Did something happen last night? That made your police suspect us!
Since you ask, in order to clear up suspicion, I can briefly tell you what happened last night to avoid any doubts in your mind. This will be beneficial to both of us.
After entering the Vatican last night, we took advantage of the night to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Vatican, and then checked into the guest room arranged for us by the Vatican.
We then attended the welcome dinner arranged by His Majesty the Pope himself. After the dinner, we went back to the guest room to rest without any entertainment or going out.
Leonardo was present at all of the above activities. He can prove it, and other personal lawyers like me, as well as several important people in the Vatican, can also provide proof.
Furthermore, you have deployed so many police and cultural relic gendarmes around the Vatican. They should know very well whether my security personnel and I leave here."
As soon as the words fell, Leonardo and Anderson stood up one after another and gave proof beyond doubt.
The scene suddenly fell silent. The three senior Italian police officers were speechless and did not know what to say.
After a moment, Enrique said:
"Steven, there was a fire in Rome last night, which destroyed a historical building built in the late nineteenth century, and many people died in the fire. Do you know?"
"I know. I got up and watched the news this morning. Is there any problem with this? Rome is the largest city in Italy. Fires in such a big city should be very common. Is there anything strange about it?"
Ye Tian nodded slightly and asked in surprise, but a smile flashed deep in his eyes.
Enrique looked at him deeply, and then said solemnly:
"Rome, like other big cities, often suffers from various accidents such as fires. If it were just an ordinary fire, it would really not be worth making a fuss about, but the fire last night was not ordinary.
The building that caught fire was the Rome branch of the Palermo Benano family. The people who were burned to death in that building were all members of the Palermo Benano family, and there were many of them. .
The Bernano family is a mafia family in Sicily and one of the largest and most powerful mafia families in Italy. The Rome branch is a very important branch of their family.
According to our investigation, among the robbers who ambushed your convoy on the highway during the day yesterday and were eventually wiped out by you, there were probably many members of the Benano family.
The ambush at the crossroads was probably carried out by an outlying legion of the Benano family. Not long after the day's battle ended and you just arrived in Rome, the bizarre fire broke out.
What is even more bizarre is that the place where the fire occurred happened to be the location of the Rome branch of the Bernano family, and none of the mafia members in that building escaped, and they were all burned to death.
I never believe that no one was awakened by such a violent fire. Even pigs would struggle before death, unless they had been subdued and could only wait to die with their eyes open."
At this point, Enrique stopped talking and stared at Ye Tian closely to see what reaction he would give.
Although the following words were not spoken, everyone present could hear the meaning behind Enrique's words.
Did you start the fierce fire last night? Did you sneak into the mafia scum in that historic building and subdue them one by one, and then burn them all to death in the fire?
You were ambushed on the highway during the day and fought wildly. When you arrived in Rome at night, there was such a fierce fire in the blink of an eye, completely destroying the Roman branch of the Bernano family.
Revenge does not last overnight! It's so much like your bastard's behavior. Can we not doubt you?
After the words fell, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian.
People who had just met him and were not familiar with him still had doubts in their eyes, but Betty and Anderson had a flash of smile in their eyes, and they already knew it!
While Leonardo was confused, he was also a little frightened.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Steven had asked about the underground secret passage in the Vatican last night.
Could it be that Steven left the Vatican through a secret passage last night, went to Rome to kill those mafia scum, set a fire to destroy the corpses, and then sneaked back into the Vatican.
All of this was done under the cover of night without anyone noticing, not even his wife!
If this is the case, this guy is really terrifying. He can come and go freely even in the Vatican, which is guarded against leaks, let alone other places.
Thinking of this, Leonardo was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, even though it was winter and the temperature was very low!
At the same time, he has secretly decided to carefully check every secret passage under the Vatican and completely eliminate all hidden dangers to avoid being taken advantage of!
But how did Leonardo know that Ye Tian had already erased the traces of entering and exiting the secret passage, and he chose an ancient secret passage that no one knew about, and the people in the Vatican also knew nothing about it!
When he left the guest room at midnight, he not only put on a disguise and completely changed his appearance, but also cleverly avoided all surveillance cameras, making it impossible to trace him!
When he arrived at the historical building in Rome on the scooter he brought with him, all the mafia scum in the building were asleep, and they all slept like dead pigs.
There is no suspense about what happens next.
He didn't waste a shot or alert anyone. He subdued those mafia scum without any sound, and then burned those scum into charcoal with a fire!
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
“Those scumbags who set up an ambush at the crossroads turned out to be the peripheral legion of the Benano family in Palermo. I know this mafia family, but I have nothing to do with them. What a disaster!
Don’t even think about it. Those mafia scumbags must be looking for money and try to rob Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, "Lisa Gradini". The one who responded!
However, the fire last night really had nothing to do with me. Maybe God couldn't stand those scum and wanted to help clean up some garbage in the world, so there was that fire and those mafia scum were burned to death.
I have no sympathy for the death of those Mafia scumbags. I feel a little pity for the burned-down 19th-century historical building. It should not be buried with those scumbags."
Hearing what he said, Betty and Anderson almost laughed out loud, and finally managed to hold it back.
Enrique and Giovanni's expressions changed drastically, their expressions suddenly became more solemn, and there was even a bit of regret in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Giovanni continued:
"Stephen, we hope you will exercise restraint and not cause trouble, let alone provoke the Bernano family in Palermo and the Casamonica family in Rome.
This is Rome, the Eternal City, with countless famous and extremely precious historical buildings. It attracts countless tourists from all over the world to visit here every year.
Whether it is you, the mafia families, or other gang organizations, we will never allow anyone to turn Rome into a battlefield where bullets are flying and blood is everywhere.
According to reliable information, as soon as you arrived in Rome yesterday, the Casamonica family entered a state of high alert. After the fire last night, the alert level became even higher.
The southeastern part of Rome is now in a state of turmoil, with the Casamonica family’s eyes and ears everywhere. You’d better not enter there rashly, as that will inevitably lead to conflicts.
News came from Palermo. As soon as the news of the fire last night reached Palermo, the Benano family immediately entered a state of preparation for war, and all peripheral legions were recovering.
You are here to discuss cooperation with the Vatican and jointly explore treasures, not to fight. I hope you will restrain yourself and not start a war with the two major mafia families at the same time.
We, the Italian police, are willing to mediate to ease the conflicts between you and try to avoid the outbreak of war. The Mafia Committee of Eleven also expressed the same intention.
Stephen, I hope you can accept this suggestion, ease the conflicts with the Casamonica family and the Bernano family, and shift your attention to exploring the treasure."
Ye Tian looked at the three police officers in front of him, then sneered and said:
"Easing the conflict with the two major mafia families? It's not impossible. It depends on their performance. The two incidents were not initiated by us. We are the victims!
If they can show enough sincerity, I can accept mediation, shake hands and make peace. From now on, we can do our own thing. If they are not sincere enough, then let’s talk about it differently."
“Hiss——!”
A gasp of air rang out from the scene. Everyone was frightened by Ye Tian's words and stared at him in stunned silence.
This guy Steven is so crazy. He clearly wants to blackmail two mafia families. This is simply unheard of!
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian took the initiative to end the conversation and turned around with Betty towards the entrance of St. Peter's Cathedral. Anderson and the others immediately followed.
Looking at Ye Tian’s leaving back, Enrique asked in a low voice:
"Giovanni, do you believe what Steven just said? The fire last night and the Mafia scum that were burned to death really had nothing to do with him?"
Without any hesitation, Giovanni immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"Believe it or not! I don't believe a word of it. Not only last night's fire, but also the previous rainy night massacre in Florence, and the subsequent raging fire, all have something to do with this **** Steven!
This is a **** who has no inhibitions and is determined to retaliate. He is extremely cruel and ruthless. Unfortunately, although I suspect that he personally caused these two crazy killings, there is no evidence! "
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already entered St. Peter's Basilica and disappeared from Giovanni's sight.
