Chương 1: chapter 1
On the 13th of 2004, the body of a man was discovered in a furnished apartment in a building located on Juan Carlos Street in Madrid. According to police records, the person who reported the discovery of the man's body was the building's caretaker, Oliver.
The chief of police, who was on duty that day, along with a team of assistants, including the crime scene investigator, immediately went to the scene. The deceased, identified as "Gabriel," aged 55, was found lying on the only bed in the apartment. The examination revealed that he had received a fatal stab wound with a sharp object. The forensic doctor later confirmed that the man had died as a result of that stab wound and also indicated that he had likely engaged in a homosexual encounter before being killed.
The investigation conducted by the police chief and his team confirmed that the killer or killers had searched the apartment and had stolen some of the victim's belongings before leaving. In the apartment, fingerprints were found other than those of the deceased, one of which was clearly identified as belonging to "Mario," born in New York on October 5, 1987. Other fingerprints were also found, but their owner could not be identified.
The information obtained by the police chief from the building's caretaker indicated that the victim had regularly rented that apartment and that he had arrived in a luxury car, which was not found at the scene. The investigation of this case was assigned to Senior Chief "Alex Sanchez," head of the First Criminal Division. It was essential to find "Mario," and initial investigations revealed that he was a homosexual who used to pick up clients on Fifth Avenue.
Chief "Alex Sanchez" knocked on the door of the deceased "Gabriel's" home. His car was not there, and when the chief questioned his wife, she seemed reluctant to discuss her husband's homosexual tendencies. The chief understood her reluctance, as the woman did not want to combine the pain of his death with a moral scandal.
There was no trace of "Mario" in New York, and a nationwide search warrant was issued, mentioning the disappearance of the victim's car. Chief "Alex Sanchez" and his team were eager to apprehend the suspect as quickly as possible. The chief learned from the victim's wife that the day before his body was discovered, he was carrying a significant amount of money because he had an appointment to purchase an old Iranian musical instrument. She also mentioned that her husband was obsessed with collecting antiques and valuable artifacts, but she did not know the name of the person he was supposed to meet.
When the investigating officers visited "Mario's" family home, his mother informed them that he had not returned home for three days and that she was used to his occasional absences for a few days. She admitted that her son had a criminal record involving moral issues.
The order was issued by the General Directorate of National Security to set up security checkpoints in all cities in search of "Mario" ... To be continued.
