En: I don't know who it belongs to and it seems really strange," Lorenzo asked with a confident smile.

It: Giulia annuì, affascinata dal mistero quanto Lorenzo.

It: Insieme, iniziarono a osservare le persone intorno, cercando indizi.

En: With determination, Lorenzo and Giulia approached Marco.

It: "Signore, possiamo parlare un momento?"
En: "Sir, could we speak for a moment?"

It: chiese Lorenzo, cercando di non sembrare minaccioso.
En: asked Lorenzo, trying not to appear threatening.

It: Marco trasalì, guardandoli con occhi spalancati, come un cervo preso nei fari di un'auto.

It: "La valigia è sua?"
En: "Is the suitcase yours?"

It: chiese Giulia, con tono più rassicurante.
En: asked Giulia, in a more reassuring tone.

It: Alla fine, Marco confessò.

En: Lorenzo and Giulia laughed at such an innocuous explanation.

It: "Niente di illegale, giusto?"
En: "Nothing illegal, right?"

It: scherzò Lorenzo.
En: joked Lorenzo.

It: Marco sorrise, sollevato: "Solo un equivoco."
En: Marco smiled, relieved: "Just a misunderstanding."

It: L’episodio non rimase inosservato dai colleghi di Lorenzo.
En: The episode did not go unnoticed by Lorenzo's colleagues.

It: Finalmente, la sua sete di mistero e avventura era stata appagata, e aveva dimostrato le sue capacità investigative.

It: Divenne più sicuro delle proprie abilità, capendo che il suo lavoro era molto di più che solo routine.
