Chapter 1735 Blackmail mafia
Within three or two steps, Giovanni and the SWAT team leader were approaching, along with a senior officer in a black uniform, about fifty years old.
Without exception, the expressions of the three Italians were very solemn, with hidden anger and a little doubt in their eyes.
After greeting each other, Giovanni introduced the identity of the strange police officer.
"Steven, this is the deputy chief of the Roma Police, Enrique, who is mainly in charge of the affairs of the anti-organized crime department, to be precise, the head of the anti-mafia department"
"Good morning, Mr. Enrique, I'm Steven, nice to meet you"
Ye Tian greeted with a smile and shook hands with the other party.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm Enrique, serving in the Rome Police, I'm also glad to meet you, welcome to Rome"
Enrique said politely, and the performance was decent.
After a few pleasantries, Giovanni got to the point and asked with a solemn face:
"Steven, may I ask you about your whereabouts since you entered the Vatican last night, especially at midnight, when you or any of your men left the Vatican?"
Hearing Giovanni's question, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be a little surprised, and didn't understand why he asked so much, and for what purpose?
Even Betty was confused and unclear at this time.
Ye Tian also showed a surprised expression, and said pretending to be puzzled:
"Giovanni, I don't quite understand what you mean by that? Did something happen last night?
Since you asked, in order to clear up suspicions, I may briefly remark what happened last night, so as not to cause you any doubts, which 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 room arranged for us by the Vatican.
Then we attended a welcome dinner arranged by His Holiness the Pope himself, after which we went back to our rooms to rest without any entertainment or going out.
Leonardo was present at all of these events, and he was able to attest, as well as other personal lawyers, like my personal lawyer, and several important people in the Vatican.
Besides, with so many police and gendarmes around the Vatican, it should be clear to me and my security guards whether or not to leave here."
As soon as the words fell, Leonardo and Anderson stepped forward one after another and proved beyond doubt.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the three senior Italian police officers couldn't help but be speechless, not knowing what to say.
After a pause, Enrique said:
"Steven, there was a fire in Rome last night that destroyed a historic building built in the late nineteenth century, and many people died from that fire, did you know?"
"I know, I woke up this morning and watched the news, is there anything wrong with that? Rome is the largest city in Italy, so fires in a big city like this should be common, what's so strange?"
Ye Tian nodded lightly and asked in surprise, but a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Enrique looked at him deeply, and then said with a solemn face:
"Rome, like other big cities, has a lot of fires and other accidents, and if it was just an ordinary fire, it wouldn't be worth making a fuss, but last night's fire was no ordinary one.
The building that caught fire was the Rome branch of the Palermo Bennano family, and the people who were burned in that building were all members of the Palermo Bennano family, and there were many of them.
The Bennano family is a mafia family in Sicily and one of the largest and most powerful mafia families in Italy, and the Roman branch is a very important branch of their family.
According to our investigation, it is likely that many of the robbers who ambushed your convoy on the highway during the day yesterday were all members of the Benano family.
The ambush at the crossroads was probably the work of one of the Benano outlying legions, and soon after the day's fighting ended, a bizarre fire broke out as soon as you arrived in Rome.
What's even more bizarre is that the place where the fire broke out happened to be the location of the Roman branch of the Bennano family, and none of the mafia members in that building escaped and were burned to death.
I don't believe that no one is awakened by such a fierce fire, even pigs, who will struggle when they die, unless they have already been subdued and can only wait for death with their eyes open."
Speaking of this, Enrique stopped talking and stared at Ye Tian closely to see what reaction he would give.
Although the following words were not spoken, the meaning of Enrique's words was heard by everyone at the scene.
Did you set that fierce fire last night? Did you stealthily infiltrate the uniforms and burn them all to death in the fire?
During the day, you were ambushed on the highway and fought wildly, and when you arrived in Rome at night, a fierce fire broke out that completely destroyed the Roman branch of the Bennano family.
Revenge doesn't stay overnight! It's too much like you bastard, can we not doubt you?
When the words fell, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian.
People who have just met him and are not familiar with him are still full of doubts, but Betty and Anderson have a smile in their eyes, and they already know it!
Leonardo was puzzled and frightened at the same time.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that this guy Steven had asked about the secret passage of the Vatican last night.
Could it be that Steven left the Vatican from the secret passage last night, went to Rome to kill those mafia scum, set a fire and destroy the corpses, and then sneaked back to the Vatican.
All of this was done under the cover of night, without anyone noticing, not even his wife!
If that's the case, this guy is really terrible, and he can come and go freely in the Vatican, let alone other places.
Thinking of this, Leonardo was immediately scared into a cold sweat, even though it was winter and the temperature was very low!
At the same time, he has secretly decided that he must carefully investigate every secret passage under the Vatican, and completely eliminate all hidden dangers, so as not to be 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 at all, and the people in the Vatican also knew nothing!
When he left the guest room at midnight, he not only made a disguise, completely changed his appearance, but also cleverly avoided all surveillance cameras, and there was no way to track it down!
When he arrived at the historic building in Rome on his scooter that he had brought with him, the mafia scum in that building was asleep, sleeping like dead pigs.
What happened next, there was no suspense.
Without firing a single shot or alarming anyone, he silently subdued those mafia scum and then burned them to char with a fire!
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd at the scene, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Those scum who set up an ambush at the crossroads turned out to be the outer legion of the Bennano family in Palermo, I know this mafia family, but I have nothing to do with them, it's really a disaster!
Don't even think about it, those mafia scum must have seen the money and tried to rob that Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Lisa Gradini, and I will respond!
However, the fire last night really had nothing to do with me, maybe God couldn't get used to those scum and wanted to help the world clean up some garbage, so there was that fire that burned those mafia scum to death.
I don't have the slightest sympathy for the death of the mafia scum, and I feel a little sorry for the burned-down 19th-century historic building, which shouldn't be buried for those scum."
Hearing his words, Betty and Anderson almost didn't laugh out loud, and they finally held back.
Enrique and Giovanni's faces changed drastically, their expressions suddenly became more solemn, and there was even a little remorse in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Giovanni continued:
"Steven, we hope that you will exercise restraint and not cause trouble, let alone provoke the Bernard family in Palermo and the Casa Monica family in Rome.
This is Rome, the Eternal City, with countless famous and invaluable historical buildings, which attract countless tourists from all over the world every year.
Whether it's you, or the mafia families, or any other gangster, we won't allow anyone to turn Rome into a battlefield of bullets and blood.
According to reliable sources, the Casa Monica family went on high alert yesterday as soon as you arrived in Rome, and even higher after last night's fire.
The south-east of Rome is now full of the eyes and ears of the Casa Monica, and it is best not to venture into it, which will inevitably lead to conflict.
There was news from Palermo, as soon as the news of the fire last night reached Palermo, the Bennano family immediately entered a state of readiness, and all the outer legions were being recovered.
You are here to negotiate cooperation with the Vatican and jointly explore treasures, not to fight here, and I hope you will restrain yourself and not go to war with the two mafia families at the same time.
We, the Italian police, are willing to mediate and ease the contradictions between you and try to avoid the outbreak of war, and the mafia committee of eleven has the same meaning.
Steven, I hope you will accept this suggestion, ease the conflict with the Casamonica family and the Bennano family, and turn your attention to the treasure hunt."
Ye Tian looked at the three police officers in front of him, and then said with a sneer:
"It's not impossible to ease the contradictions between the two mafia families, it depends on their expressions, the two incidents before and after were not provoked by us, we are the victims!
If they can show enough sincerity, I can accept mediation, shake hands and make peace, and from then on the well water will not interfere with the river water, and go their own way, if their sincerity is not enough, then it is another matter."
"Hissββ!"
There was a gasping sound at the scene, and everyone was frightened by Ye Tian's words, and looked at him dumbfounded.
Steven, this guy is really crazy, this is a clear attempt to blackmail the two mafia families, it's unheard of!
After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian took the initiative to end the conversation, and took Betty to turn around and walked towards the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica, and Anderson and the others immediately followed.
Looking at Ye Tian's departing back, Enrique asked in a low voice:
"Giovanni, do you believe what this guy Steven just said, and the fire last night, and the mafia scum who burned to death, really have nothing to do with him?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Giovanni immediately gritted his teeth and said:
I don't believe a word, not only last night's fire, the previous Florence massacre on a rainy night, and the ensuing fire, all have nothing to do with Steven's bastard!
This is a bastard who has no taboos and is always ready to repay, and he is ruthless to the extreme, but unfortunately, although I suspect that he personally caused these two crazy killings, there is no evidence of this!"
As they spoke, Ye Tian and the others had already walked into St. Peter's Basilica and disappeared from Giovanni's vision.
