“Sir, hats off to you!” he called. “You were right!” “Right about what?” Luria raised his eyes from the papers on his desk and stared at the excited detective. “What has come over you? What happened?” Danny kept waving the document at him. “The forensic report!” “Well, what does it say?” “It is exactly like you said. We have Father Rafael’s fingerprints on the safe, before he opened it to show us the books. We know that these are his fingerprints because, as you insisted, we also sampled the safe after he had opened it for us. His first set of fingerprints is all over the fingerprints of the dead Father Fernando Diaz. It is obvious that he opened the safe after Father Fernando had already been dead. His fingerprints are also clearly visible on at least four of the five volumes that were standing before the safe!” Luria smiled, unable to hide his satisfaction. “So our little guess worked out.” “Our Guess?” Danny was excited. “You played it like Sherlock Holmes, I am telling you, sir!”
