Chapter 8

The mystery of the Lake Villa

After a few weeks of arduous investigation for the authorities of Zaxonia, Jewels and the Irsalian government trying to locate the ten missing men alive, they received an anonymous letter again, stating that in the northernmost part of Irzania, there was a practically ghost property, where clandestine parties had previously been held sponsored by Víctor Casanova with his brother August, to please and entertain some partners of their shadiest businesses, there being enough photos and videos of them with almost young girls. naked, pleasing the ego and hunger for tender sex, of all those powerful men, including those with deviations and pedophilic tastes, also emphasizing that in that Villa there was an artificial lake built purely for the leisure and debauchery that these men could have. , so this was practically gold for the authorities, who asked the Irzania government for permission to be able to enter the country stealthily and jointly corroborate whether the information they had received anonymously was true, since previous communications had been positive and They had been able to locate the missing colonel, who was sadly dead.

The Irzania government agreed to collaborate with the countries that were peacefully asking for permission to investigate whether this was true; So, several commissioners from the three different countries participating in the search arrived in Irzania and began to search the towns and farms in the north of said country discreetly so as not to raise suspicions among those possibly involved.

So with a fairly small drone that sent aerial photos and videos of the largest villas and farms in the northern part of Irzania, they were quickly able to locate the only Villa that had a lake, so the commissioners requested and agreed to the authorities of Irzania, to lead that search, which was approved...so they set off; and after an hour of traveling by road, they arrived at the town, where it could be seen that it had not been inhabited by anyone for some time; It was quite neglected and there was no security or staff to receive them, so they ventured in and tirelessly began a thorough search in the different rooms and spaces of the villa, where they found drug residue, women's underwear, used condoms, empty alcohol bottles, broken and with residue and crumbs at the bottom of some; All of this suggested that the last time someone had been here, there was a pretty big party, just as the anonymous letter that had reached them had announced.

When checking the gardens it seemed that history was repeating itself: bottles, condoms and underwear everywhere; So, they decided to inspect the artificial lake, where they found, tied by the torso to some large rocks weighing more than fifty kilos each, the bodies of three men, who showed clear and visible signs of having been sexually violated... Their bodies were completely purple, which indicated that they had drowned, then, upon removing those three bodies from the water, they were immediately transferred to a forensic medical center, where it was confirmed that the men had not been under water for more than seven days and that they had glass in their intestines, from which it was clear that they had been violated multiple times with different objects through their rectum when they were still alive and conscious... some traces of a sedative to be identified were also found, confirming, among other things, that these men had They spent most of the time asleep, and every time they woke up or were woken up, they lived the worst of their nightmares for hours... All this made the seasoned and experienced officials who listened to what those three men had experienced and suffered, blurting out some tears of rage and helplessness, because of how horrifying it must have been for those unfortunate people, to go through that unthinkable situation of sadistic and immeasurable torture, where it could be seen that they had no control nor any opportunity to prevent that savagery; since in that situation they were at the mercy of ruthless killers.

Later, when the bodies of those three men were transferred to Zaxonia, the families of the missing came forward to recognize the deceased; and in fact, there were three of the men who had been kidnapped, so their families showed the deep sadness in their eyes when they found out about the ordeal their relatives had gone through, while the others were terrified thinking that the same thing could happen to them. to his relatives still missing...this only indicated one thing, that whoever was behind these cruel acts had to be a powerful person who studied every step he was taking and with a very big ego, without a doubt, a dangerous serial killer without no kind of compassion or feelings for his fellow men.

The government of Irzania confirmed that that villa was owned by Víctor Casanova and that the man had been in that Villa two weeks ago, which was revealed by an elderly woman who frequently walked her dogs in the area, so obviously it could be affirm that the main suspect in all this was Víctor Casanova, who had his bank accounts frozen in the banks where he signed his name; and also the accounts in the name of his wife Esther and his son Thiago... All were frozen until further notice while their whereabouts were located.

On the other hand, Nathan wrote some verses in his small confidant diary, while he remembered in his memory the good times with Ilan...

"In the reflection of the moon in the water, who is hiding in the memories and is not willing to come out first? It's like picking up a dream while the night is still dark, before you wake up, there must be a beginning and a end.

Perhaps you have already seen mountains and clouds that cover everything, also in your dreams that are intimate realities, you will have seen how the snow is stained a dazzling red while my tears are still shed for you...

Ilan, you have spent long days and nights possibly in an alternate reality, in an eternal dream with the fallen stars looking for leaves that had never been seen before... I told myself, that if you looked at the water of a waterfall in your dreams, You would see the moon reflected in it like a mirror and you could realize that you have been frozen in time, I would like to be able to travel to your reality, but it would be a high and useless price, and that is why I prefer to see you return to the mortal world in a beautiful scene where you open your eyes and the first thing you see is my face looking for you, still half asleep, but it terrifies me that on the return boat, our memories will remain in the river of oblivion, and your memory will hide half of our pieces and you will not be able to recognize "My eyes, just thinking about it, my body becomes torture because I cannot give myself to another knowing that my heart loves you."
