Chapter 48 Chapter 46 UACV Headquarters

Paula walked into Troy's office without knocking.She didn't like what she saw when she went in, or what she found.Serling sat there, facing Chief Troy, and just as Paula came in, he got up and walked out without even looking at Paula.She tried her best to block his way. "Listen to me, Selin..." The Vatican detective walked past her and disappeared into the corridor. "Sit down, Paula," Troy said. "I want to protest that man's criminal behavior..." "That's enough, Sergeant. The Chief Inspector has given me a full report, and I know all about what happened at the Raphael Hotel."

Paula's jaw dropped.After sending the Spanish journalists to the taxi in Bologna, they headed straight to headquarters, preparing to report to Troy in detail what had happened.The situation is obviously complicated, but Paula still believes that Troy is right to support her actions in rescuing the reporter.She was going to talk to Troy alone, though she figured that the worst-case scenario was that her boss wasn't going to listen to her at all. "He must have told you that Dante attacked an unarmed reporter?" "What he told me was that there was some disagreement on the matter, but now there's something that everyone agrees with. It appears that Detective Dante is preparing to reassure a potential witness, and she's a bit out of control, and then you guys Two attacked him. Now he's in hospital."

"That's bullshit. It's not like that at all." "Serling has informed me that he is no longer going to cooperate with us on this case." Troy raised his voice a few degrees, "His attitude towards you is very unacceptable, your hostility and oppression towards Dante, and your treatment of our neighbors Disdain for the sovereignty of the country, some things I can see myself, so be it. You go back to the work you were responsible for, and Anthony goes back to Washington. From now on, only the Vatican Police Department is fully responsible for the safety of the cardinals .For us, immediately hand them the CD that Kaloski sent, and the one we got from the Spanish journalist, and then we forget everything and quit."

"What about Pontillo? How is he? I remember your expression when you saw him in the mortuary. Was that an act? What justice is there for him?" "That's not our responsibility anymore." Paula felt so badly cheated that it made her sick.She could no longer recognize who the person sitting in front of her was, and the bond of love she had with him was completely broken and no longer existed.Polla thought sadly that perhaps that was why Troy had withdrawn so quickly.Maybe because of that bitter conversation last night. "Is it because of me, Troy?" "What did you say?"

"Because I said last night, I don't think you are capable of doing this case well." "Forget it, officer. Stop thinking about it. My only interest in this case is to provide the most effective support to the Vatican, and I have found you to be incompetent for that." In her 34 years of life, Paula has never seen such a contradiction between a person's language and the expression on his face, such a huge difference.She can't stand it. "You're a good-for-nothing stupid pig, Troy. Honestly, it's no wonder people laugh at you behind your back. How come you're such a man!"

Troy blushed all the way to his ears.His lips trembled, trying his best to suppress the anger that was about to explode.He controlled his emotions, adjusted quickly, and said in a cold tone: "At least I am where I am now, officer. You can leave your gun and badge on my desk. You will be suspended next month." Salary. Go home until I have a chance to review your matter again." Paula opened her mouth, but nothing came out.When the protagonists in the movie encounter language conflicts, they all have a sentence that makes the tyrant leader gradually lose his status.But in real life, she was speechless.She put down her badge and gun and rushed out of Troy's office without looking back.

Anthony was waiting for her in the corridor.There are guards: two policemen.Paula guessed he'd gotten a call to leave. "That's how it turned out," Paula said. A slight smile appeared on the priest's face. "Nice to meet you, officer. These two gentlemen have a pathetic job of escorting me to my hotel to pack up and accompany me to the airport." Paula grabbed his arm and pressed her fingers into Anthony's sleeve. "Father, can't you call someone? Tell them to stop this." "I'm afraid it won't work." Anthony shook his head, "But I look forward to the day when I can invite you for a good cup of coffee!"

Without another word, Anthony stood up and walked quickly across the hall, accompanied by two policemen. Paula fought back the tears, and she walked to the door of her apartment, and the tears could no longer be held back, and she burst into tears.
