Clues[]
Teragon's House[]
- Dead body – The body of Paul Teragon. Signs of extreme violence. The body is marked by bruises. The arms and legs are broken.
- A book: Almanac: Île de la Cité – XII – Author's preface: "Many families changed their surnames. In this way they retreated into anonymity, thus avoiding the wrath of their victims and of their victim's descendants.
- A book: History of France, volume 4 – Four sentences are underlined: "God knows who is in the wrong. God knows who covers himself in sin. Disasters will fall upon those who condemn us here. Be it known that all who have opposed us and their descendants will suffer by the hand of God!" — Jacques de Molay
- Bloody symbol – A Roman numeral II has been written in blood on the door.
- Newspaper – Readers! In this time of change, let France not forget her history. The Inquisition effectively ended in France well over one hundred years past, yet the descendants of the Inquisitors live and walk among us. Let us cast our minds back and recall those three infamous prosecutors shown in our engraving from left to right: de Nogaret, de Marigny, and de Paris. These three are identified by medallions with numerals, medallions which they proudly regarded as a numbering of holy rank. We know today that several of their children changed their names to avoid retribution. We've discovered here in Paris a descendant of Philippe de Marigny. He is the prosperous merchant Bernard Grimany of the Île de la Cité. He gave us the honor of receiving us at his home at 6 rue des Marmousets, where we admired his collection of thumbscrews and a chair studded in spikes—which he confided to us are family heirlooms.
Partially burnt letter
- My dear Teragon. I increasingly have the sense that I am being watched. No doubt due to the careless revelation of our true identities in the moronic interview given by B.G.

Letter from Teragon
- Please be more circumspect in your statements. Only recently I have heard rumors of a woman claiming to be a descendant of de Molay's line nosing around in various archives. Centuries may have passed, but passions sometimes have long memories. – P. Teragon

Conclusion[]
Spoiler

|---|
|
The murderer was Anne de Molay, a descendant of Jacques de Molay seeking revenge for her forebear's torture.
Descendants of some well-known medieval inquisitors had been living peacefully under aliases—anagrams of their forefather's names—until recently when one of them, Bertrand Grimany, (descendant of de Marigny), foolishly gave an interview to a city newspaper. The article exposed his address and he was subsequently murdered, a large bloody Roman numeral I inscribed on his wall. However, Grimany managed to wrest a pendant with a key away from his murderer in the struggle. Grimany's friend, Paul Teragon (descendant of de Nogaret) was then murdered, and a bloody Roman numeral II left behind. The third descendant, M. de Prasi (from de Paris), would have doubtless suffered the same fate but managed to fight off the attacker. A blood trail leads to the murderer, Anne de Molay, a descendant of the famous Templar victim of the medieval inquisitors. She had taken vengeance on the descendants of her forbearer's torturers. |
