And there

the events that I am going to relate took

place on December 1, 1907

in room 217 of the dejavu hotel

where manual the mother in coal found

its fate at the hands of the most

feared criminal that the world has

known that morning the inhabitants from the

metropolis were torn from their

dreams by the frightful screams

coming from the fourth floor of the yogurt hotel

the morning newspapers titled this

drama as a supernatural crime today

remembered as the most astonishing of the

Argentine police chronicle

the doors and windows are closed

from the inside he said christensen

is a typewriter for the blind

rodinger had discovered something at the

height of the baseboards and bent down to

look closely at

what it is christensen is surprised

by his own discovery answers on

the walls rodriguez speak braille

the written language of the blind says

law enforcement officers follow the trail

of brands that extend throughout the

former tension of the wall

the curtain opens and the horror

I have that we are facing another impossible crime

christensen uses his last and most

desperate resources call now and

dominica now

the game has begun a cane measures his

steps when entering the door is my

dear friend lieutenant boris domenech

pending thank you for coming your goal is to

see where others cannot do it i

consider you as the most perfect reasoning machine

that the world has known a lot

to see you again i would like to be able to say

the same if two of our best

men They need help for just

something must be wrong in

detective schools those people cannot put

together a woman who was murdered in this

room the room was locked from the

inside yes there is no way that the

murderer has been able to get out we only

found this glove yellow as he

knew it exchanges gaze of astonishment and

amazement has returned with domenech responds

effect is the napoleon bonaparte of the

crime is the criminal the most dangerous that

peace has ever stepped on the earth

the tips of their fingers slide down the

wall and reveal to us the macabre facts

that came together from the closed room

and

no not

once they have completed their marking petro crime,

they vanish as if they had never

been There, leaving the

closed room and leaving behind to say it to the

woman who mortally wounds you,

point glove rod

and how I manage to leave the

room, her coffee cools down, how did she manage to get out

of a closed room, maybe it is so

important to know how she did it

now? to say that the mystery in

itself is enough they

do not know that they do not know

if wrong you underestimate your

readers that is why you have not been able to

publish a success ten years sir

peñafiel sorry

is you imposed it well if that is what

I gave you all your books thank you very much it is

an honor for me to know you

could sign

it as well as we perfectly

here have a thank you

I was reserving me to sign

autographs but my t work does not usually

arouse admiration is of interest

literary critics sign us

autographs or only sign

death certificates for novice writers his

name

gregorio lupus

an admirer and colleague

sorry this is gregorio lupus or the

recent award winner i am not

as good as i was good reviews

characters flat foreseeable

simple narrative and ideal material for the

Senate electorate that coming from you is a

compliment you

know that I could avoid listening to your

story and it seems to me a passionate story it

is as passionate as it is

implausible marc since it leaves many

authors and just happens that

I am working on a similar story

is also a crime in a closed room,

look, it would be an honor and a pleasure for me

and to be able to exchange endings with you

I know to apologize but my story is

unpublished I am still afraid that Mr.

Peñafiel has not yet been able to solve

the literary mess into which

many better authors than

you have tried but have been

unsuccessful none have been able to solve the

enigma of the closed room

satisfactorily

I got it

a title that illustrates your career very well you

don't believe

if you allow me I have to prepare

tonight's talk

I suppose you attend the conference yes, that's the way it

is,

look, listen to you, thanks, I follow the

adventures of detective domenech since

the beginning,

since he could see domenech, he has

witnessed several injustices that and

diabetes that ended the

sight of those who need eyes when the

senses can cloud

mortal reason. scarlet my favorite book so

it traps it in spectra sometimes

I almost almost believe things in the light

when I work on the resolution of my

stories I always think what I would do for and

this would nec me if I were there a lieutenant

domenech has managed to turn off my accounts

But unfortunately, the readers

of organ coordination are a Moorish change

to read his next novel. I am intrigued by his

resolution. tion for the case of the locked room

I can tell you something please if you want to

stay in this business do not trust

other authors

welcome

good morning sir

the key

this is known thank you and this is the

combination of your safe

then something

as if it happens Something

no no

and do not worry you will see it you have

more followers than can be seen

I do not like cats they are alive

too thank you

I need to keep this somewhere

safe yes it is clear presumably do not

worry all the rooms have

Perfect safe, see you

tonight at 8 in the living room, then

one day was born,

ladies, gentlemen, continuing with the day,

I have the pleasure of presenting an

outstanding author, creator of the unbeatable

blind detective, Lieutenant

Boris Vladimir Domenech,

as I suppose you already know our

guest

shortened the presentations and left them in the

wrong hands

has captured our attention but

why did he have to scare us like that because e

Fear can open the doors of the

imagination where the darkness points to call fear

and fear to the imagination

who can imagine can write

who can write can overcome their

fears by becoming fear itself

that is how writers become

victims and victimizers and sometimes we forget

the four basic principles of

our art

first the key to a good story

is not in its complexity but in its

simplicity

second

the criminal is there not for an obvious reason

but for a secret reason

third this criminal must be

familiar to us he has to be in the foreground

all the time and fourth our goal

is to lead the reader to a

surprising and credible resolution every

time we have a question and why do

n't you apply your own methods

what is your pin trying to say I

remember the end of his latest novel

Shroud in Scarlet I remember his

detective solving crime in

surprising

b ueno thank you very much but the only thing that

vor and domenech has done is to follow a

reasoning analyzing all the

evidence what you never explain is

how the criminal did to be in two

places at the same time the

writers like to play hide

and seek and our only one rival is the reader and the

way we deceive him justifies the

end you have the strange idea that

your job is to confuse your

readers and while you succeed you do not

care if you disappoint

an esteemed author we have a

secret or of jealousy but you do not believe

that this secret has to

be hidden

boris domenech answer that in

neutral the final chapter

thank you

and why

I always feel good

at three years

for him

for more he

does not speak any language troll everyone

sir luis nuñez jr

to what is the honor of your company due

I see that change of opinion

is not what I wanted

attention

attention I want to propose a toast for

the expected return of e luis peñafiel

health health health health and good letters

thank you

with this you show that you have

guts

we will see if you also have talent

I will not answer that

my book will do it for

me health health

why

I am thirsty accompany me and I will be able to with

this in 72

I will not be able to later please

a bottle of his best wine and two glasses

we do not see then all the powers of

his best wine there is a glass it

was a suicide you see

the dop and he has not liked anything since the

old testament

god too he was a victim of his criticism

I heard him speak badly about his grammar

and why he did it then

I tell him a secret

hedegaard a plugin

is nothing more and nothing less

he made me what I

am deep down edgardo is right I

was not good no that is not true science

was good what happens is that the blows

have made me the writer that I

am the harder the playwright hits him the

better to write then

deadlock would be his

exact masterpiece lupus

a drink for the man please

but it is useless how much they say how good

I am if edgardo thinks otherwise

thanks to

my latest book to justice and it will be the

end of the spectrum amen

enough enough I told you and that

cat that I did not I think to speak it did not

exist we have been with boris all night

asking the living I do not think it has to

think there is a solution for the

enigma of the locked room there is

for example imagine a window if

we manage to introduce a fine

a peculiar multiplex cinema

if a return is avoided

well finally my bed came up with another

idea another idea I heard for example

I had a small construction channel

to the outside then a

swamp snake could enter the

closed room or the snake boss will receive

an orangutan rule out the improbable and

reach the impossible conclusion lupus

is like this or the other way around

that pins

listen to the sun

leave

these are visiting hours even

if it is not over yet

and it is written Going then that you

want to hear what I have to say

, tomorrow's newspaper will speak for me better

than you thought, what do you think,

if you allow me, do

n't

you want to kill Domenech and if you

only want to kill him fer kill your

character for you with his

literary mannerism who buried him

I know I am on time I can still

correct it I know I can correct it

because it starts with that they will need

at least 10 liters to correct

so much pro it empties

go go go go I don't want

to see you again that

I don't care what you say

understands me detective domenech has not

died listen or has not died

louis is

not worth it

but not from him

I can improve it

you believe me that it is true

but that I believe

now do your favor and try to sleep

until tomorrow

ah

and

could improve it

I know I can do it I can improve it by

listening fist

so you can improve

your daughter

2

good

ah

great peñafiel is awake

I'm dead

and

leave

ah

and that's

a little water water you want to

kill me

I thought boris was dead

this coast to hell and that data

because he is looking for yes no

do not let the water cool down

since he put

that hand step

is not that he did with boris use anything

and where is it then it

is there it is and it does not have its cat and it is

but then there is blood of who is it

ah

ah

what happened avalanche

believe me I do not know

- christ I have to recover manuscripts

at grave

in broad daylight

when in front of everyone louis

and then it is appearing more and more

at the beginning of a mystery novel

2

i

ah

and that was what happened boris

and where will my manuscripts be

louis

attack

the machine is on the ground

because it is closed inside everything

is which you His story describes it,

I'm afraid you're right,

no,

and this could delay the day's program,

don't forget something,

your tracks

if you find him on the case in 20 years,

whatever,

ah,

I didn't kill anyone.

steal it

give me the key

but why are you doing this if they did an

interrogation I could explain everything

perfectly because you don't explain it to me you

lie

what you mean by that

I mean a man was murdered it's not

the room the door was locked

from the inside

and you know how to get out from this room

ah

yes

ah

stop a little yes but he will return with the

master key lupus

please let me out

until he teaches me to leave the

locked room until the answer I do not need

time it

is a sham listen to things

if there is a way out of a

locked room I can find it, don't

count on me to take me or you

won't have

and

saying it's going to take time to tie up the dots,

where is it going to serve me

more wine? he needs me this did not

finish leaving the drink just started

at least you know that I did not do it I

would not be so sure about that as what

does it refer to? You are trying to

solve the impossible crime,

perhaps your unconscious already knows the

answer

but the rest of you do not,

added to the alcohol, it forms a cocktail and there

is the product, they

are a hypothesis

what I think that somewhere in your

mind is the resolution for the crime

from the closed room

ah

sorry buin habit no because he

happened something I hope it is not dying

boris is with you he cannot continue m he

is in the bathroom

moritz

maurice you are there we already gave him to

buy you

and you were lucky to find some

gentlemen

later he had to give a talk in the

auditorium but he did not appear

well he must not be far away

perhaps he bit his tongue and must be

looking for an antidote in the hospitals

good critic we will notify you of anything

and we come to know something good

thanks for taking care of it from a glass no

I already stopped drinking

congratulations peñafiel

look

if I found myself under the bed it's weird

dupin would never go out without his glasses

well but they're broken surely he had

others it

's the best we've warned the police

excuse us please yes of course

we have little time for

now to find an end is my story

as you are serious if

the answer is somewhere in your

mind we have to take advantage of all

this there is a dead human being in my bathroom

lupus had no skin in you tubs and

inside is a critic who does not breathe knows

what I think you would be able to

deliberately forget your glasses under

the bed

because I would do something like that she knows I do not

trust other authors knows that you and

your friends must have a lot to

talk about

I believe more in that corpse than in you in

that case you can wait together for

the police to arrive

the same

I chose a bad day to stop drinking

I am not a drunk and a scholar not

I dupin and you know what

I think you are the one who needs a

good drink

Thank you for coming,

the only thing that I am going to ask for, discretion, of

course I did not know that I could count

on you,

thanks to the commissioner, Hector, he introduced us to

Mr. Ruiz Peña, doing a lot,

just that last night he had a series of

discussions

with you, but now, yes, but that is usual.

the critical writers water and oil of

course

I would like to ask you some questions

yes of course

and that is always the commissioner not much

as you can see that

I am not a very good choice knows one

thing that I stopped drinking it seemed that

everyone wanted to see me drunk thank you,

there is something else you can contribute,

commissioner now that you do not mention yes

dupin was reading a book of yours,

yes, that's right, you

know that we could not find what you

can tell me about it, what can I

tell you about it, the commissioner and I can

tell you that the circumstantial evidence

They are not usually conducive to a criminal trial

but suppose there is a corpse

in this case this would be my main

course

and you are right

But as you well say, for there to be

a homicide, there must first be a

corpse

and for now the only thing we have is a

person with unknown whereabouts and of course

some suspicions,

perhaps a corpse can be so

elusive, it all depends on who is

hiding

it. Now yes and

thank you very much for your time

that the evening ends very well

I will do the impossible permission

is done

there is nothing

we have to forget,

perhaps you have already forgotten that I am an unclear author

that is not to

say that it will be a section

with me and I have another remedy because in

that case of invalid exception,

reality and because I would have to follow it,

I have something that may interest you,

listen,

I have the police behind me,

how long do you have until they find

the body

? Unless we find a culprit

before they find a

corpse

in sown criticism they reap grudges

because the writer t It would have

motives especially not initial

this looks more and more like one of his

novels that reason us lupus

the four basic principles to which he

refers to the first the answer

has to be simple simple but

unexpected second the real murderer

has no obvious motives which

leaves me out since my motivation is the

most obvious that is not true you could

have some ulterior motive that I know you

shut up

third third the criminal was in

front of us all the time but

we never see him and that where the fourth leads us

a surprising resolution and version at

the same time

may be the shortest way to

find our murderer

find out how he did it can

lead us here in i did it that way i

could get an alibi

and its end for me related

and i think we have a deal

gentlemen su attention please

thank many of you are not

aware but Mr. edgardo puig has

disappeared

I am very sorry for the inconvenience that is it

could cause them but I will

need the collaboration of everyone

until we find out his whereabouts

I will ask you to please stay

in your rooms

Thank you very much

for noticing there

a ghost suit and I want you to

also take it to Boris I wait for you in my

room because I'm going I

want to get

there I can't sleep if my cat

I suggest you and that cat to

rest,

come

on, why did it take so long because I won't

ask butt

it was not easy to find him calm

just what he was needing I know where he

hid the wing in a barrel of the

winery yes I know the wine is coming a

bit choppy now what do we know lupus we

already know a killer name in

the next room so only someone

who knows the answer to the enigma of the

closed room could have come out of

it inside necessity if my theory is

correct you know that answer if

your theory was correct i would be a

murderer there is only one way to find out

i

your yes ruin erie

you are up to spectral

what's up boris I like that cat he

doesn't read either has effect

no that no

job

must have been surprised while he

was writing

yes but how did the murderer to enter he

could have opened the door

surely not then I suppose he had

to meet the gang killer when

the stains on the floor must have been

attacked together here at this point

exactly here he is no longer the glasses fell off

and he is bleeding but he

is not dead yet but he crawls

until he reaches the place where we

find him in manuscripts and while the

specter talks about the field carla is

on his knife the victim slides

over the red effluvium of his entrails in

one go takes over the secret printed

on the typewriter he keeps it

linense

review of the duct

how it ended up

is so easy to destroy

but creating

creating is something else

we have just found the motivation for the

crime.

The special specter of a destiny that

inscribes itself on the flesh of his future

mind is enough then because

he thinks of making an ingenious comment

this new filter would be a great

murderer or something like

that that is where he bleeds and the murderer

tries to find a way out You made the

wrong profession, yours are the

potatoes

the windows are closed from the

inside like the door

reform there is no way the truth is

impossible it disappoints me lupus you have no

other idea

I'm sorry

what would they say domenech if I were here

I would say that there is no combination of

events that the intelligence of a man

cannot explain

who needs the eyes when the

senses can name the reason

but I wake up is trapped has no

way to leave the room as he

did how he managed to leave to give you the

impossible

and what remains for unlikely that it

seems to be the truth

was what doris happened

in the session and he never left the

room the

whole time he was inside or but where

in the closet

3

a glove a glove the

typewriter on the floor the door closed

from the inside everything is within the

story

a story that only

your peñafiel victim knows that it is about

someone

simpler without obvious reasons in front of

our noses surprising and

credible at the same time lupus who could be

someone with access to all the keys to

the hotel

lynn irene

if I this joy I was looking

for him everywhere lupus

could I find him please

peñafiel can you hear him I can't trust

you

I have something of yours sorry calling from

the voice to arrive and to keep looking

for boris against something that belongs to him

I don't know what he's talking about I just

found a black cape has something to

say that it has to do with me in my

pocket I found the key to his

room

here

both the event and my reputation are

I'm going to start on TV but he has to

speak

very well it's hidden in a barrel in the

cellar

and that's

not

We

did not have a deal I did not want what I

wanted and I fulfilled it complicated the deal

and tell me half a line for my novel

is making a mistake lupus understand

that

I feel that I went and found him with blood

on his hands of course for the opposite murderer

whoops

nobody passes

We don't have

anything that I now have about the end of

a novel that doesn't

exist, what is lupus talking about,

ah

, he can't fool anyone anymore.

We have something,

bring Luis Peñafiel's head.

It is true but

I am very sorry about what happened

I am not in the inside I was afraid,

but to

taste it is another test that feels at all

in mind that I am not aspect I do

not post

at the door

I have

it I can

not yes no

and

I know that it is in the room

specter

the profiles that use your real name

you can't get

out why we

need a guilty of a medical crime

you mine

locked up next to my hip

you will be the fourth perfec ta origin

that we

are not two corpses in a

closed room I have them

how

and

you can solve the enigma of the

closed room and hear from this fourth

rabbit

how to do everyone tell me how to make you

know and win what

then

continue as a fast invention by

Please lupus think I wanted boris a hundred

when I grew up balls and had my place

for a winner and that my place

balls

wrong

like never did anyone think of it

ah

thanks

you can't do this gentlemen well

we have it

that's why it's so serious you're joking you

don't realize what you have achieved you

found the logical solution to the enigma From

the closed room

the answer was always there

but no one ever saw it except you

you were the one who said fear can

open the doors of imagination

thanks to the incentive of fear you

managed to write this great ending

if we unite your fear with the talent of

lupus

I get the best mystery novel

the law has ever written

we have two corpses

sorry I have to sign a lot of

autographs

I don't have much time tomorrow I'm going to

wake up drunk in some sewer

yes

that will be my website it

seems that I drank too much I remember

well where I was last days

thank you for this great ending

and for teaching me to get out of a

closed room,

nothing

we have a dead cat and three criminals

of the criminals s in three locked rooms

and a single dead witness

where all this is left

deadlock

ever written

and maybe someday someone will make

the movie

ah

ah
