In the course of her investigations, Léa began to suspect that the victims might have crossed paths with Père Antoine in one way or another. She dug deeper and discovered that some of them had frequented the community centre at critical moments in their lives, seeking comfort and support. Doubts began to creep into her mind, but she knew she had to gather enough evidence to support her suspicions.

Léa set about keeping a discreet watch on Père Antoine. She followed him when he went into dark parts of the city to help the homeless, when he got involved in social projects and when he offered his support to LGBTQ+ people in difficulty. His dedication to the vulnerable was undeniable, but Léa was looking for more concrete clues to establish a direct link with the murders.

As she searched his home and office, she found letters exchanged between Father Antoine and some of the victims. The letters expressed moments of vulnerability, fear and despair. Léa realised that Father Antoine was far from being the killer, but rather a confidant to these suffering people. The letters were filled with deep gratitude to him for his unconditional support.
