Gustav Kottmann makes a critical mistake and just barely manages to escape police officials.

Following this event, he disappears for about a year. Weber's speculation suggests that he was kept safe by some unknown assassin, also known as Herman Fuhr, the author of "Dorn in the Darkness" and Kottmann's favorite author.

Early morning -- A mysterious man with a bleeding arm shows up for treatment at St. Ursula Emergency Clinic, but disappears right after without leaving a trace (Fuhr)

Eugen Molke (revealed by police investigations to be Jaroslav Čarek, formerly a high ranking adviser in Omnipol) is found dead in his home.

Gustav Kottmann goes on a murderous rampage at the St. Ursula Emergency Clinic in Salzburg, Austria.

"Coincidentally," the three people he executes are the only three witnesses who would be able to identify Molke. This is what causes Weber to theorize that Kottmann and whoever murdered Molke had the whole ordeal planned out together (or rather, that Molke's murderer had given Kottmann a false sense of partnership). It reminds Weber of the Johan Liebert, or "J" as the media knows him, case and he becomes inspired to delve deeper into the core of it all.

Werner Weber begins his investigations into Johan Liebert and the mysterious Herman Fuhr.

After a phone call with Fuhr, Weber disappears, leaving only his notes and the sketch of a figure resembling Johan

Six years later, Weber still has yet to be found since his mysterious disappearance.

He confronts the man, who tells him his client said to destroy the sketches as soon as he got them. When Nagasaki asks him to describe the buyer, he says it's a person who sits next to one of the world's most powerful political leaders, and that they plan to recreate Bonaparta's experiments.

"Werner Weber" also tells Nagasaki that his client plans to get in contact with Herman Fuhr, claiming he is the next generation VOSS.
