Chapter 12
Shortly after, on Montcada Street bar, Laura tells Enric about her visit to the commissioner.
"… and when they leave Fargas, I followed the young inspector he had been discussing with. Now, this whole thing is very clear to me".
"Yes, but who told you that man? Tell me!.."
Enric feels a little scared. Your friend seems to be very safe and does not understand why.
"He said something about Maribel's body, police found a gold button. You know how much?"
Laura was silent for a moment and look at the eyes of Enric. Want to see which side gets. The boy seems not to understand.
"But," continued Laura, "Fargas says that's not important ..."
"As it is not important? "asks the young man, surprised.
"Of course it is," she said. "But he says no, because maybe you want to help someone. Do you not see? Maybe his nephew has a jacket with gold buttons ..."
"But all of that, you can imagine, but do not know".
"Ya. But soon we will know if it's true".
"Laura, I can not believe it ..."
"No? Well, then explain to me: Why the commissioner has been arresting José and has forgotten the button? He has also forgotten that Julio is left handed. It's a bit strange, is not it?"
Enric nods yes with his head. He thinks that having a jacket with gold buttons is not so rare. But it is not normal that the commissioner ..."
"Look," continued Laura, leaves him no time to think, "it is time to do something. For me, the murderer is Julio".
She read a bit of fear in the eyes of her friend. She smiled before telling her plan.
"Certainly, we should be safe. To do this, we have to see whether Julio has a jacket with gold buttons. And if it has a missing button, of course. My idea is this: I call Julio and stay with him. Meanwhile, you walk into his house and looking in his room".
"And if there is someone in the house?"
"How hard you make everything, Enric! Do not worry so much. At the moment, think that there will be nobody, and now this".
Laura gets up. Enric also decided at last.
"Well," she says "then I'll call Julio. And you, be careful, okay?"
Before leaving, Enric approaches Laura and gives her a kiss.
"Good luck, Enric. And please, call me immediately ..."
