Chapter 71

• The train glided smoothly along the tracks as it approached the Milan station, heralding the tranquil end of a journey that, for some, would be marked by a completely unexpected turn of events. Passengers, already rising and gathering their luggage, prepared to disembark when the sudden entrance of the Polfer alongside the Carabinieri interrupted the calm atmosphere.
• One of the Polfer officers, with a serious demeanor, addressed the passengers, ordering them to remain seated as the locomotive would undergo an inspection due to an anonymous tip-off. Tension quickly spread through the carriage, replacing the previous tranquility.
• The agents began their meticulous examination, going through the seats one by one until they finally reached the area of the private cabins. One of them exchanged significant looks with the Carabinieri lieutenant, indicating that something had been found. With determined steps, the lieutenant approached the cabin where the alarming discovery had occurred.
