My name is Richard Nils. I am an Inspector at the criminal police department of Paris.

Or should I say, I was. Until this case.

Let me tell you the whole thing from my point of view.

Before you show up.

Chapter 1

Scene 1, it was

 I remember that night. Paris was on the eve of Christmas celebration. Happiness was in the air, but I was feeling down. Paris 17.12.2017 17:45 I came back from the office quite early. It’d been months since we’d had any thrilling case to get our teeth into. I was just about to fall asleep after my usual nightcap. No point in staying awake. Tough luck, I received a call.

Gambale [ 6.15 PM ]


No answer once again… Well I hope you weren’t excepting a lazy evening. We’ve had a letter at the office just after you left. There was just an address, it leads to a disused building. Some kind of slaughterhouse. I’m already on the spot, but there’s no way I enter alone. You should come right now. Here’s the address:

We still opened a new case, even though it looked much like a hoax.
