Langdon contends that if these messages were meant to tell who the attacker was, Saunière would simply have written the person’s name. Langdon agues that Fache’s theory makes no sense because Saunière invited his attacker into his office, which presumes Saunière knew his attacker. Fache says that he believes that Saunière created this scene to tell authorities who killed him. Langdon tells Fache that Saunière shared many beliefs with Da Vinci, including his disappointment with the Church. The replication of this painting also clarifies why Saunière is naked. When Fache highlights the circle Saunière has drawn around himself, it becomes clear to Langdon that Saunière was mimicking Da Vinci’s painting, The Vitruvian Man. Fache tells him that cryptographers are working on it. We learn that the message written next to Saunière’s body reads “13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5/ O, Draconian devil! Oh, lame saint!” Langdon does not understand the message’s meaning. Sister Sandrine is struck with apprehension, which she perceives as women’s intuition. Although Sister Sandrine does not approve of Opus Dei, she agrees to show the man around. The abbey asked if she could show the church to the numerary of an influential American bishop immediately.

Sister Sandrine, who is in charge of Saint-Sulpice, was awoken by the church’s abbey in the middle of the night. It becomes apparent that Fache is recording his encounter with Langdon when we read that Collet is watching the meeting unfold from another room. Fache then turns out the lights, and shows that Saunière had a black-light pen and used it to write a message on the floor. Fache expresses curiosity about why Saunière would use his own blood to draw the pentacle. Langdon says that Saunière is mimicking the pentacle with his own body in an effort to stress the presence of the symbol. Langdon corrects Fache by explaining that the pentacle is actually a pre-Christian representation of the sacred feminine. Langdon explains that the pentacle is symbolic in pagan religions, which Fache misconstrues as devil worship. With his own blood, Saunière drew a pentacle on his stomach. Saunière is naked on the floor, with his arms and legs extended. Langdon learns that Saunière died very slowly and was thus able to arrange the peculiar scene. Langdon and Fache arrive at the crime scene.
