Another night of working begins for Lincoln and Clyde. It´s 10:00 pm and the two detectives assist to the Pioneer's Bridge, where a murder was commited. They investigate the crime scene.

Clyde: A fisher reported it at 8:45 pm. He found it when he sailed under the bridge.

The boys look at a female corpse wearing a nightgown, tied up from its hands hanging from one of the bridge's beams with a rope. It also has a band covering her eyes.

Lincoln: Another one just like the others. Hanged with a rope and using only sleeping clothes.

Clyde: Yeah. This is the third victim we found in this way. What the heck is going on, Lincoln?

Lincoln: That´s what we are going to find out.

The detective checks the corpse. After a brief look, he gets a conclusion.

Lincoln (rubbing his chin): Hmm... As I see, the victim is a 22 years-old girl, and judging by her status I assume she was killed four hours ago.

Clyde (astonished): Wow! You have to teach me that!

Lincoln: Maybe another time. Do you bring your camera?

Clyde: Of course. (shows the camera)

Lincoln: Great! Take some photos to it and bring them to the office. I´ll be waiting you there.

Clyde: Got it!

Lincoln exits the scene, leaving Clyde to take some photos to analize how the murder occured. After this, Clyde returns to the LDA with the photos. Lincoln meanwhile is reading some documents about the victim.

Clyde: Im back with the photos.

Lincoln: Good! I obtained this documents about the girl from the civil registry (passes the documents to Clyde).

Clyde (reading the papers): It says "Rachel Dobkins, 22 years old, born on Tennessee". You was right Lincoln about her age.

Lincoln: I know. Can i see the photos?

Clyde passes the photos to Lincoln. He takes one of them and nails it on a board, along many other photos from other murders.

Lincoln: Ok, this is what we have. From the last week until this day a series of murders has been occuring for yet unknown reasons. (points a picture of another victim) April 15th, 9:00 pm: We found a corpse hanging from a tree in the Ketchman Park. The victim was a Caucasian male identified with the name of Victor Rogers. April 17th,10:00 pm: Another corpse was found in the same conditions but this time in the Marshall Tower. The victim was a woman called Nina Jameson. And finally we have the last one commited today.

Clyde: Indeed. According to the studies made to the victims, all of them present the same death cause; a deep wound made on their chests, perforating the heart and causing instantly death. The wound was made with what appears to be a dagger.

Lincoln (scratching his head): Anything else?

Clyde: Yes. Here it is something interesting. All of these victims were in jail.

Lincoln: What?!

Clyde: Is true. Each of them have a criminal record. Victor was arrested for narcotics' posession and kill a cop during a runaway. Nina was arrested for comit an assault with a handgun in a convenient store and Rachel for hit a child with her car due to her alcoholism. Also they were released after fulfill their sentences.

Lincoln: You´re right Clyde.

Clyde: So, our suspect is like an antihero that kills others that comit crimes.

Lincoln: Yes, but we don´t have any strong evidence that would show us the real killer.

Clyde (sighs): Who can be?

While looking to the photos, Lincoln notices something peculiar from the bodies. Each of them have a strange tattoo on their forearms. The tattoo is a symbol of a triangle being crossed by a crown and a cross.
