occurred with the members of the House of Tharsis. But our management was worthless. The
autopsy would not be revealed till the next day. And, even if the Police not admitted it, we
knew the reason of that delay: the forensic Medics didn’t achieve to establich the cause of the
deaths. My sister and nephews were found in their rooms, in the superior floor of the house,
and presumably they died without knowing the gruesome murders that were being committed
outside; they would have died, as not Initiated members of the House of Tharsis, in the
moment in which the Dordje of Bera turned the blood of the winepress into Tar, i.e., at the 0:15
hrs. And obviously, the forensic Medics didn’t know this.
We were resigned then, to only veil my parents, although we commissioned the
enterprise of funereal services to insist periodically in the morgue and reclaim the missing
corpses. A car stopped and a known person descended, but to whom I would have not imagined
to see there: the officer Maidana, the cop that intervened in the case of Belicena Villca! At
seeing me, he approached to me hasty and he presented me «his deepest condolences», as was
the rigor. And then he explained the motives that had made him decide to come to the funeral,
speaking in his particular style, simple and honest.
–Dr. Siegnagel, this case, as you will imagine, has moved the entire Province: all would
want to apprehend the mad murderers of your family. But this matter is beyond my
jurisdiction: now I am Commissar of the Investigations Department, but not the chief of the
Division. With this clarification I want to assure you that I have not came here as a cop but as a
friend. Do you comprehend me Dr.?
I assented unknowing where he wanted to reach. Uncle Kurt was beside me and was
looking at Commisar Maidana with curiosity.
Then I will come to the point: Are you in a hurry? Do you need some kind of help?
Whatever it could be, do not doubt to trust in me. I’ve friends, brave and loyal, men proved in
the anti-subversive struggle, which would be disposed to act, let say out from the regulations,
to adjust accounts with the Jews or whoever be chasing you.
Uncle Kurt frowned and for a moment I feared that was going to release one of his
thunderous horselaughs; but I was too bereaved for it and instead he smiled with clemency. I,
by my part was irritated and dumbfounded; irritated, not for the offer of Maidana, that I
appreciated due to, even absurd, was sincere, but for having to live all that hallucinative
situation, including the funeral; and dumbfounded, because I not imagined how the officer had
reached to the conclusion that I needed that kind of help.
–Don’t you respond me? –He said consternated– Or is that yo don’t trust in me? But I
know that you were chased, even if you deny it. Is my profession to discover these things. I
know it since yesterday, when I received in the Department of Investigations the report about
what happened in Cerrillos. Then I remembered you and the case of the sick Belicena Villca.
Making a parenthesis, I will confess you now that you were right in what you affirmed that in
such crime there was an obscure point: that point was never clarified; but it is also truth that
nobody was interested to clarify it, and that the Police have urgencies more important to
attend with the money of the contributors. I know it!: that doesn’t matter to you; you want to
see the Justice triumphing; you’re very interested in the case of Belicena Villca because you felt
the case close. But we have to attend certain cases and that was just one more, one that, I
repeat, nobody was interested. I tell you this because I give you in some manner the reason to
you Dr., Take it in that way! In reality I wanted to bury the case because it lacked of
