The Mistery of Belicena Villca
– Calm down , Maidana , I ' m not going to back down ! Indeed , I thought so , although later I have modified my opinion and now I practically agree with you in that the murderers would be human beings , perverse and infamous human beings .
– Bravo , Dr . Siegnagel ! I ' m glad you changed your mind ; now it will be easier for you to admit that
I was right . New elements have emerged in this case , Dr .! – What elements ? – Witnesses , Dr . Siegnagel . Two witnesses came forward who saw the murderers perfectly --he reported in a professional tone-- . At this moment they are testifying and providing the description that will allow to reconstruct the faces of the criminals : once the identikit is made , thousands of them will be distributed throughout the Province , and the rest of the country , and a rake operation will be launched to detect their movements . Uncle Kurt had gone livid . I , on the contrary , was evaluating that those news benefited my plans . – Who are the witnesses ? – I wanted to know . – I will tell you with total reserve , because the case is under the secret of the judicial summary . There were two doormen from the Tobacco Company , who had to enter at 0.00 a . m ., 300 meters from here , and passed in front of the entrance gate almost at that time . Since they are neighbors , they always cover the journey in company , each one with his bicycle . And like all dawns , yesterday ' s also seemed quiet : until they got here and saw the car . – The car ! – we shouted in duet , Uncle Kurt and I – What car ? – Ahaha – said Maidana ironically-- Do you see how your murderers are very human ?: so much that they even circulate in a huge imported car . – Could you give us more details ? --I frantically demanded . – Be patient , Dr . and I ' ll tell you everything I know , which is not much . At 11.59 , or 0.00 , roughly , the two men began to roll their bicycles in front of this Farm . Very soon they noticed that further ahead slowly circulated a huge black car ; it was going slowly , as if it was looking for a certain house , and the cyclists didn ' t overtake out of sheer curiosity . That way , they continued in a caravan until they reached the gate , when the car turned and pulled off the road , parking at the entrance . Then they had a good view of their occupants : they were two " oriental-looking " men , impeccably dressed in a black suit ; even one of them got out of the car to open the gate and was clearly observed by both .
The witnesses have been held since yesterday at noon , only that nothing was informed to you about the progress of the investigation . The important thing is that they watched through the computer monitor an ethnographic program , and that the doormen identified the second character as a kind of " Turk " or person from the Middle East . What did I tell you Dr .? I was not very wrong when I suggested to you that they might be members of the Mossad .
No , Bera and Birsha were not members of the Israeli Mossad , but without a doubt could be the Heads of that sinister " Intelligence Service ", or Jewish " Squad of Death ": they were more than capable of doing so . Yes , they were from the Middle East , where according to Belicena Villca they had been Kings in remote times . There was therefore no doubt about the way in which the Supreme Priests of Melchizedek had come to Cerrillos : as “ human beings ”, wearing modern clothing , and driving a luxurious car . Upon receiving this news , Uncle Kurt went completely silent . --What was the brand of the car ? --I asked . – Neither model nor brand . Interestingly , the witnesses agreed to give a detailed description of the car , but they failed to recognize the brand ; They also didn ' t notice if it had a license plate . From their statements it is deduced that it would be a very large car , a Cadillac or Lincoln , which , because it is not of a frequent type in our country would have made identification difficult .
– When Maidana finished communicating the police information that he obtained in such a short time , he tried again with his own : he wanted me to pay him back with equal loyalty and reveal to him how much I knew about the murders and the mysterious assassins . Of course , I couldn ' t tell him the truth , incredible truth on the other hand , and I was thus trapped in a moral problem .
At 7.05 a . m . the Cerrillos Commissioner arrived . He came to greet me and comply with a request from Maidana , who had awakened him too , at 3 in the morning .
--Hello Arturo . Good morning Mr . Sanguedolce . How are you , Maidana ? --he greeted-- . I was unaware that you were friends with Arturo . I have brought what you asked me , but as you are friends , remember that everything is still being held in reserve . The judge is trying to shed light on a matter that has become quite strange , and only in the morning he will issue the orders that will allow us to act . Until then the summary is secret .
He handed an envelope to Maidana , who rushed to open it . It contained the identikits of the assassins and various drawings representing the scenes seen by the witnesses .
