The fire was immediately spotted and the firefighters immediately went to the scene, but when they arrived, they were surprised to find that the fire was already under control, leaving on the ground a cross of black ashes and glowing embers in the middle of which laid Sarah's inanimate body.

Later, Arno and Richard arrived on the scene and assisted by about ten men, they began searching the place with the secret hope to find elements to solve the case.

There was only one body and the modus operandi. was different, but they both felt that this new victim was related to the previous ones. Once again this case exceeded all logic and the lack of elements to understand the events was beginning to undermine their calm.

Bent over Sarah's body, Arno was exasperated:

- According to the firemen, the fire broke out, burned for a few minutes before miraculously going out...

Richard paused before answering, he should not let himself be dragged along but analyze the situation calmly:

- Look, the heat was so intense that the stones became vitrified; I wonder what fuel could have done this in such a short time... You will also notice that once again, the victim has a tattoo... I think the killer is targeting women with this kind of tattoo, the other victims are perhaps only victims of circumstances, which would explain that they were not killed in the same way...

Arno, calmed by his teammate's observations, tried to regain his objectivity and began to observe the scene:

- Except from slight burns on her legs, the body is perfectly intact; would the murderer have thrown the body on the embers after putting out the fire? If that's the case, he's got quite a temper because he might have been surprised by the fire department.

- Hum, yeah, that’s strange … But fist, we have to identify our victim, I think we could try to pay a visit to UV salons because it's still a little early in the season for such a tan to be natural... And I doubt it's related to the flames...

Arno no longer listened to his colleague; he analyzed the scene and tried to reconstruct a scenario.

- Personally, I think we need to focus on sects... The ground is burned in the shape of a cross, it's not a coincidence, the limit is very clear, they certainly used a particular technique to confine the area to be burned, moreover, the girl, although in the center of the area was only lightly burned, which makes me feel that they did not want to kill her...

- What do you mean?

- Imagine if they had covered her with a substance to protect her from fire and the objective was that she could come out alive from the flames...

- Do you think they want to stage a miracle?

- Yes, it's the oldest scam in the world and yet, as long as there are gullible people, there will also be people to exploit them...

- Your theory puzzles me, and unfortunately it doesn't explain the other murders...
