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
