Criminology –commented the Commisar of Cerrillos with contrariness. We’re looking for two
               ferocious killers, author of the massacre of an inoffensive family. Two witnesses, see them, at
               the hour of the crime, entering in the house. There all went right, all «normal». We requested
               then  to  the  witnesses  to  describe  us  the  alleged  evildoers.  They  accede;  and  there  ends  the
               tipological  normality:  the  case  escapes  to  any  general  framing;  not  even  the  casuistry
               criminology,  neither  the  records,  nor  the  accumulated  experience,  serve  to  comprehend  the
               fact. In a principle was suspected from the witnesses, but then their capacity to witness was
               verified: two unblemished persons, who never drinks a gout of alcohol, because they perfom a
               survelliance position, and they are also ex-policemen, i.e., retired policemen, trained to watch
               facts and accustomed to give details. But their history was too much incredible. –Look that
               image, where the companion has descended to open the palisade and the driver is seated at the
               sttering wheel of the black car –What have seen the witnesses? Not two «normal» criminals,
               who are going to kill a family furtivally, but two gentlemen stylishly dressed, who enters as if
               they  be  as  visit  in  the  Property  of  the  Siegnagel’s.  In  fact,  the  Judge  ordered  that  they  be
               examined by the psychiatrists, yesterday afternoon, but the report is positive: they’re in perfet
               mental  conditions.  They  even  facilitated  an  interrogatory  under  hypnosis,  that  also  thrown
               positive results: concretely, they tell the truth; whatever they have seen, they believe in what
               they say.
                      I looked  askance at the Commisar  Maidana,  because from all that emerged the whiff
               known during the murder of Belicena Villca. But he not undeterred; evidently he also had a
               rational explanation for the curious attire of the «agents of the Mossad».
                      Look at this, Gentlemen! –Insisted the Commisar of Cerrillos– Can be something more
               ridiculous than a killers dressed with black suit of three pieces, black shoes, black hat, blach
               mushroom hat!, black tie and white shirt? Yes, I know that can exist murders like these: in
               Hong Kong, in Istambul, in London, in New York, and in a thousand more places in the world.
               But here in Cerrillos? Treating about another kind of people it would be even possible to
               accept  their  presence  in  the  zone:  for  example,  if  they  be  executives  of  a  transnational
               enterprise that come for business, to loot some of our raw materials. To this kind of criminals it
               is possible to imagine without effort. But, in the case that occupies us, they easily escape to the
               general pattern of the farmer killers.
                      The Commisar consulted the watch and said goddbye: –I must leave now. See you soon,
               Arturo; I am really sorry about this. I’ll see you this afternoon in the cemetery. Forgive me for
               the talk but has been Maidana who came to stir the wasps’ net; I’d have not bothered you until
               after the funeral. Naturally, the Judge also wants to talk with you and he will not delay to call
               you; when this tragical moment passess, naturally.
                      The  last  words  of  the  Commisar  of  Cerrillos  caused  me  profound  inquietude.  What
               pretended the policeman? They murdered my family and the interrogated would be me?
                      –Stay calm, Dr., that this is nothing –Assured Maidana–. Simple rutine. The police is
               confused  and  will  want  to  know  your  opinion.  The  same  occurs  with  the  Judge;  is  for  this
               reason that he resisted to give the corpses. I could give you many hypotheses about what the
               Commisar told us and that has probably happened: for example, it is almost sure that they have
               radiated the description of the black car and they didn’t achieve to know its whereabouts; is an
               strange  car  and  they  suppose  that  someone  should  have  seen  it.  But  they  don’t  advance
               because they investigate professionally. You and I know that, contrarily to what the
