THE MYSTERY OF BELICENA VILLCA / EDITION 2022 2022 / Official English Version | Page 15

The Mistery of Belicena Villca means " Time ". In this dialect , “ chutquiy ” is the transitive verb “ dislocar ”, so your word would mean " to dislocate Time "; or " dislocation of Time ", in a more current sense .
I must confess that a sense of alarm overcame me while I was listening to the old Professor , because something interior , a secret instinct , told me , screaming , that if there was any explanation for the murder of Belicena Villca , this was beyond normal comprehension , in a realm where laws ignored by man surely governed .

At the time I did not intend to fulfill that promise , which I made in a desperate attempt to convince the police of the ritual character of the murder , seeing that they evaded the bundle and sought a rational solution that , in my opinion , did not exist .
Now I was going to use her as an excuse , to get information . I looked up the three huge volumes of the " Dictionary of Freemasonry " in the University Library and I went to the Police Headquarters . In Salta this occupies an old colonial building next to the City Hall , in front of the main square , florid and provincial . I parked the car next to a parking meter , several blocks from my destination and I walked down Belgrano street towards downtown .
Upon reaching the Church of the Sagrado Corazón , with its more than 300 years old building , I was thinking of the youth of the White America before the millennial Europe ; despite the fact that
