Answer 1

Chapter 6

The bar, El Dorado, is small and ugly. A waiter is washing dishes. Julio is coming.

"Does he know that the police have arrested the murderer of the girl on the streets of Santa Anna? - he asked.

Some customers raise their heads.

"Yes? - the bartender looks at him without understanding. Ah, yes! ... the young woman murdered. Poor thing! Recently we were talking about it. True, Pedro?

One customer nods his head yes.

"And who is it? - ask the waiter.

"A guy came into the bar after the murder, "answers Julio.

Laura looks to Julio. She thinks it's not right to talk like that.

"Who?" asks the waiter again.

"A guy named José".

"José?"

"Yes. Two policemen came here last night to look for him".

"Ah! José ... Those two were from the police?"

"He was drinking a lot, right?" continued in Julio.

"Yes, a little".

The waiter looks at a gentleman with glasses who is taking a drink at the bar.

"Hey, Señor Casas. Have you heard that?"

"Well, it's a bit strange, "says the waiter, "drinks a lot, yes ... Yesterday, he arrived at ten, more or less. Asked for a beer and then another and then another ... until you came to look for those two. Well, the police. Thought they were friends ...".

"The police were here this morning?" asks Laura.

"Not really. No one has come".

Suddenly the waiter looks surprised.

"We are friends with Maribel, she was killed, "says Julio.

"But every day is worse, let him hear, "says the waiter."Recently there was another death nearby".

"And the police have done nothing!" says Señor Casas.

"Man! This time, the police arrested the murderer".

"So Jose is a murderer ..."

"That is what I said! Too weird ..."

When leaving the bar, Julio was content.

"And now what do you think?" Laura asks with a smirk.
