seem very convinced, Vincent ...”.
    “See Angelo, in the letter ... this girl used formal speaking terms, as if she had just met Brandenburg, or at least as if she was not in such great confidence; let’s wait to see if there are other letters written by this Valentina and then we could also deepen the matter”.
    “Okay, as you wish”.
    As soon as Germano lowered his eyes, to continue the analysis on the letters along with his men, his attention was again drawn by another of his employees, Inspector Di Girolamo.
    “I've found another one, Commissioner ... this time the sender is Giulia, however, it’s better you read what’s written ...”.
    This time the letter was explicitly of a sexual nature, not at all prudish; the girl in question fantasized about erotic adventures with the German artist, having as a background his piano. Germano read it carefully twice before turning his gaze to the date on which was written, it was May 27 th of that same year and the fact that the postmark dated May 30 th ,confirmed its veracity.
    At that point, the commissioner turned to the other inspector, Angelo Parisi.
    “Do you still have the agenda with you, Angelo?”.
    “Yes, here it is!”.
    “Well, check when was the last time a Giulia appears among the students expected at the house of Brandenburg for a lesson”.
    “Just a moment”.
    The last time this happened was May 25 th , two days before this letter was written; the doubts the commissioner had, at this point, increased.
    “What do you think, Vincent?”.
    “I think that writing those lines, Giulia has done nothing but annoy the Master, who indeed stood off the girl, for more than a month and a half, he did not give her a single music lesson”.
    “It's plausible ... you can see by scrolling back the pages as there was always a Giulia on Wednesday at 18.00, every Wednesday, and from that day onwards, May 25 th , the time when this girl used to have lesson is always empty”.
    “Um ... maybe this deserves more attention than the other one, we have to investigate further; from this moment on, let’s look only for other letters written by this Giulia”.
    “Okay, Commissioner”, this time was Di Girolamo to respond, on behalf also of the other two people present at that time in the office, Inspector Parisi and Agent Venditti.
    The activity continued throughout the whole morning, after which the commissioner tried to take stock of the situation.
    “Other names that might be interesting have not been found, we should focus on these Valentina and Giulia and try to understand a little more about them and the kind of relation they had with the Master; in any case, I pinned the details of a cultural center from which they were sent several letters to the teacher, nothing strange, most of all are pre-printed letters with wishes for Easter or Christmas, but ... since I have not yet figured out how Brandenburg came into contact with his students...”.
    “I’ve found a pair of letters from an orphanage ...”.
    “Ah ... show me”.
    “Here they are”.
    At that time Inspector Di Girolamo pointed out he has also found something interesting, letters related to a cultural club called “Young Artists”.
    Germano asked him to see those, too.
    The excited exchange of banter and suggestions, which at that time filled the commissioner’s office, was abruptly interrupted by the entry of Inspector Gianni Piazza, who, holding some papers in his hands, invited all those present to sit down and listen to him.
    The technicians had been able to enlarge the images of the rear of the scooter during the maneuver, from which it was possible to read the first two digits of the plate, respectively, 7and P, they hadn’t been able to read the others.
    Impossible had been the identification of its driver; unfortunately, the distance from the point where the camera was and the low quality of the image had prevailed.
    They had been able, however, to confirm the model of the vehicle, an old
