In 1997, a crime happened in a small village called Ezcaray. This crime was investigated by two policemen. These policemen were Sanchez and Martinez. They arrived at the crime scene at midnight. The victim was a journalist called Juan Pastor. Sanchez and Martinez were fascinated by the violence of the crime scene. They found the victim in the kitchen. In this room, there was a lot of blood. The agents didn't find any clues but they believed the killer was a professional and he had experience in her criminal life. Policemen decided to investigate the life of the victim.
Recently, Juan Pastor had written an article that talked about the bad actions of the mayor in Ezcaray. Sanchez and Martinez realized that the mayor could know something about the victim. The agents went to the town hall. They interrogated the mayor. When the interrogatory finished, Sanchez realized that the mayor had in her table the newspaper article which Juan Pastor had written. This information was suspicious. Moreover, the article was underlined in the mayor's newspaper.
The policemen decided to check the crime scene. In Juan's flat, they discovered a threat letter. This letter was written by the mayor. Martinez compared the caligraphy of the letter with public documents. The caligraphy was very similar. The mayor of Ezcaray was declared guilty and he lived the rest of his life behind bars.
