The suspicious deaths of two men move from apparent suicide and a professional killing toward evidence of one hidden culprit.

Berasategui’s Composed Death

Berasategui’s Composed Death A staged appearance Berasategui is found neatly dressed and arranged on his prison bed. His calm appearance seems inconsistent with his age and apparent health. Evidence of coercion Toxicology reveals a powerful tranquilizer, while tears on the pillow suggest he did not choose death freely. A prison worker admits supplying the drug, but the larger question remains: who ordered it?

Jonan’s Murder

Jonan’s Murder A trusted visitor Jonan is shot at home by someone he allowed inside. The killing is precise, and his missing computer files suggest the attacker sought investigative material. Amaia’s loss Amaia reaches the scene and sees her closest colleague dead. She is removed from the official inquiry, but grief and a duty to Jonan keep her pursuing the truth.

The Stolen Gun

The Stolen Gun A suspicious weapon Ballistics links the bullets from Jonan’s murder to a pistol previously missing from a Madrid court evidence store. The unusual weapon suggests planning and access beyond an ordinary domestic dispute. A false direction The official team leans toward organized crime and illicit trade. Amaia doubts the explanation, especially because the killer took Jonan’s work files as well as his service pistol.

The Hidden Bullet Trace

The Hidden Bullet Trace A stray fiber While preparing Jonan’s apartment for cleanup, Amaia finds a tiny piece of unusual fabric near the curtains. She sends a sample to Doctor Takchenko rather than trusting the official team to notice its significance. A lethal clue The fabric contains residue consistent with a gunshot. It may have come from a garment worn while the killer fired, providing a physical connection to a particular shooter.

The Scheduled Archive

The Scheduled Archive A posthumous message Jonan’s delayed email opens with the word “Ofrenda” and his badge number. The archive contains photographs and documents he had gathered before his death. A concealed investigation Its contents show that Jonan had independently tracked graves, meetings, and people around Amaia. His care for her coexisted with a secret investigation whose findings help identify the killer.
