What if they had found it?

History doesn't allow for hypothetical situations (c).
It was in plain sight anyway. Plus, I was interested in the mafia, the danger of which was clearly underestimated by the city.
Unfortunately, even the fact that it became clear about Eziton and Niko was too late. And Eziton wasn't even punished, even though there was evidence – albeit dubious – they just brushed it off, saying it wasn't a big deal, and that it was actually a good thing that it happened later...

No, Lizard, I agree with you that the city is too much like the Titanic.
