The first thing he did was ask Lenel to hire a hitman to kill Bolt in his apartment. He should kill him three hours before Ronald’s funeral, according to the astrological chart of the appropriate time to commit the murder. But there was another condition. Lenel had to give him the name and photo of the hitman who should use a type of weapon, silencer and appropriate bullets that Franco would tell him, and for the same reasons: astrological magic. Franco promised Lenel that if he complied, he would appoint him head of The Family throughout the world, an offer to which he could not resist. Before the hitman murdered Bolt, Lenel had to be in a public place three hundred meters from Casa Milà, at a specific place and time, also for astrological reasons. He had to wait there to receive a call. Then he had to go to Bolt’s apartment and look for a yellow pendrive no matter what he saw at the crime scene. Lenel did not know what the pendrive contained. He had to give it to Franco at Ronalds’s funeral and he could not copy or read it. Lenel decided to do exactly what he asked. It was his opportunity to achieve all the power he needed in The Family to do the purge he wanted to do, and he wouldn’t betray him because he knew they would be watching him. But how could they find out if he copied the contents of the pendrive before giving it to Franco?
What Lenel never knew is that on the day of Ronald’s funeral, Franco, alone, without saying anything to anyone, went to Casa Milà to wait for the hitman that Lenel had hired. He had the photo of him and knew it was him when he arrived. His name was Piero Santini. When he saw him enter the building, he went up with him to the elevator, disguised as an electrician, dressed in a jockey and calypso overalls. He pointed a silenced pistol at and took him to Bolt’s apartment. When he opened the door Franco shot him and the hitman in the head and they both fell dead to the ground. Wearing rubber gloves, he took the hitman’s gun and put it in Bolt’s hands to mark his fingerprints.
Then he took all the pen drives and memory devices from Bolt’s computers. Before leaving, with the care of a watchmaker, he kicked the bodies and faces of the two corpses that were lying bleeding on the floor, destroyed a chair and other furniture and took some valuable objects, fabricating false evidence of a robbery frustrated with violence. He paid attention to even the smallest detail. Finally, he placed a yellow pendrive between the two lifeless bodies, in the middle of the carpet, so that Lenel could see it easily.
