It got dark at 7 o clock, Cayetano Brulé only had a short number of hours in the daily light to complete his investigation. His apartment was described as “minúscula con baño y una Ventana desde la que dominaba la plaza”. The small conditions of the room were normal for a detective. It can be a lonely place for a detective on the way through an investigation. Brule thinks that Bonn is not suitable por the younger generation “No es una ciudad muy atractiva para gente joven”. Brulé sees Bonn as a place for older people because it is more relaxed. He was stunned that Cristián Kustermann would have even gone there. Brulé impression of the area is bleak, he was not impressed. “No hay quien soporte un país como este, con tanto racism y consumismo, y especialmente después de que había vivido tanto tiempo en Cuba”. Brulé doesn’t like Germany because of how the people behave and the culture. Since he lived in Cuba for so long, he does not see Bonn as anything compared to Cuba. Cayetano Brulé thought that the city was cold and lonely.  “Le desanimaba la idea de enfrentar nuevamente el frío, la oscuridad y la soledad de Bonn.” Since Cayetano was always travelling by himself and never mentioned he was lonely, the town obviously made him feel loney.

The death of a Cristián Kustermann was Cayetano Brules main
concern. The crime scene of this crime was particulaary interesting. a Cristián
Kustermann was murdered in the pizzeria II Amico De Reñaca. Cristian kusterman was said to have been shot 4 times. “Habían disparado cuatro veces sobre la víctima, se habían apoderado del dinero y habían huido ante la impotencia de los empleados de la pizzería.” The description of the crime indicates that it was intentionally done. The outside of the pizzeria was barren and breezy. “El balneario estaba desierto y por sus calles, azotadas ese día por una brisa con bruma, paseaban escasos transeúntes” the situation was ideal for the suspect to get away and for a difficult investigation to take place.

Cristián Kustermanns apartment was described as a big modern bright area.
“Contaba con dos habitaciones,una cocina y un baño amplio de cerámica blanca.En el living-comedor colgaaban Óleos. La pared opuesta al ventanal que accedí al balcon la ocultaban un librero. Allí hallo libros y figurillas de porcelana, un equipo stereo y un televisor de 19 pulgadas”. The comparison between the apartments in Chile and Cristian’s apartment is very different. The other apartments are described as being small, dark and bleak. Cristián Kustermanns apartment says a lot about
who he was. It shows how he had money to be able to own a 19-inch television
and to be able to keep an apartment to high standards. The apartment is also a reflection on who Cristian is. Cristian is a man who cares for his physical appearance. "Cristian- rostro enjuto y risueño, melena peinada a la gomina hacia atras y figura deportiva".

The mystery was a very complicated one. It was mainly based off what each person was saying in the investigation. The investigation started by investigating the people that worked in the pizzeria where Cristián Kustermann was murdered. All the employees that worked there were interrogated except for Lalo Gándara. During the attack of Cristián Kustermann, the person who killed him knew him and knew his well. They called out his name several times before he was murdered. The next clue that struck Cayetano Brule to be massive was that of a black stone ring. “La Piedra del anillo de Léniz era jade negro, una Piedra originaria de Guatemala y la India, que se trabajaba poco en chile”.  The first sighting that Léniz had the same ring as Cristián was in a photo that was found in Cristián apartment. Later when Léniz died, the exact same ring was on his finger. Alongside the ring, a diary was found and there was a name “Silvo” written in it on different dates. After this unexcepted turn in the mystery, it left Brule out of options. The only option he has was to go to Germany to interrogate people who knew Cristián. This investigation got complicated very quickly. Some more information was obtained in Germany, but it wasn’t enough to find out who killed Cristián. Cayetano Brule then went to Cuba to try find the criminal since all the clue led him there. Triana help Brule get more information as to why Cristián moved to cuba, Triana was a very good friend of Cristián and promised not to tell anyone his motives for being there. Triana told Brule in the end. Once Cristián let down the front in what he was fighting for he moved back to Germany. Once Cayetando Brule was back in Chile, he was then able to conclude with all his key clues that Cristián Kustermann was part of contraband weapons alongside Silvo Guerra and Samuel Léniz. When Cristián informed the police, Silvo murdered him and Samuel for being un-trustworthy so no investigation on the contraband weapons would take place. This mystery was extremely complicated for Brule since he was under pressure from Carlos Kustermann to clear their family name and a lot of money was going for it. The chase around the different countries made it nearly impossible for Cayetano Brule.

Cayetano Brule is the sleuth character in this novel. Cayetano comes across as a typical detective. He enjoys his fried eggs, cold beers, investigations and cigarettes. “Es un buen día para beber cerveza helada”. Cayetano Brule has been a detective for many years in the novel and has not quit yet, this shows he likes his job “Yo hacía lo mimso que hago ahora, ganarme la vida investigando casos que me ofrecían”. Although Cayetano must like his job, he does need it to earn a living. Cayetano Brule is certainly not rich, he is on the poor side when it comes to money. This could be explained because of the amount of alcohol and cigarettes he consumes daily. Also, this could be seen when he was with Carlos Kustermann. While they were taking about cigars, Cayetano Brule remarks how expensive the cigars were by putting a price on them when Carlos Kustermann replies with “Un habano de estos no tiene precio”. The detective Cayetano Brule fits in nicely with the stereotypical detective. The way he acts throughout the book show this. Cayetano Brule tried very hard when solving the mystery of who killed Cristián Kustermanns and wanted to give up several times but “Kustermann había hecho una oferta tentadora, la mejor que había logrado en sus años de investigador”. This offer that Carlos kustermann gave him was the reason he brought the investigation to the very end. Cayetano Brule's way in an investigation was to ask several questions and if one of the questions was ignored,to repeat it several times through out the investigation until it was answered. He liked to keep quite when he knew somebody was lying instead of calling them out straight away. This way he was able to see if they were going to lie about anything else or tell the truth. Cayetano Brule even got into a fight along the investigation. The area was high in levels of fights during the night “Ha habido varios asaltos aquí, este lugar es peligroso de noche”. Cayetano Brule did try to fight back but it was hopeless. “Uno le propinó una patada entre las piernas, que le hizo doblarse y caer de bruces” “Aliguien le dio un puñetazo en la cabeza”. He survived the fight and went back to work the next day.
