Questioning of Salvatore and Remigio

William confronts Salvatore, who confesses that he and the cellarer, Remigio of Varagine, were followers of Fra Dolcino. Remigio, when questioned, admits to his past as a Dolcinian but denies involvement in the recent murders. He reveals that he found Venantius's body in the kitchen and moved it to the jar out of fear. This confession links the cellarer to the heretical past that the abbot suspected.
