Book summary of Pirque's Chupacabras

The Chupacabra of Pirque Pepe Pelayo/Betan

Kaiser and Sisi

Edmundo Sovino had a nightmare; he dreamed that an animal was chasing him and that it
was digging its claws into him. When he woke up, it was a cat that was scratching him.
Then he went to the kitchen to help himself to something and tripped, knocked things over
and woke up the whole family. The strange thing was that their dogs Kaiser and Sisi did not
bark and when they found them they were dead, destroyed and their blood had been taken
from them, so they called the police.

Ricky

Ricky arrived on vacation in Pirqué at his cousin Dante Fuenzalida's house, he makes a
joke on the phone, but in the end he is happy to see him, they talked and touched on the
topic of what had happened to the Sovinos from there they decided to investigate, because
the police They couldn't, they didn't have enough police. Dante works as the town's
postman before having been a guard.

Barabas

Ricky and Dante went to the Sovinos' house to ask what had happened and who had killed
the dogs, but when talking to Don Edmundo he told them that they already knew who it
was. Barrabas a lion from the circus that had escaped 2 days ago.

The Fair

The lion had escaped from the circus due to hunger, but when Ricky saw the scene of the
incident, he said that it couldn't have been the lion, since there were no footprints, and the
lion couldn't bite since he had a prosthesis that had fallen off while escaping.

Aucaman

When they were on the bicycle, they met the veterinarian Dr. Contreras in his truck and told
him what they were up to. Dante had to go to work and Ricky went with the doctor to
Caszely's plot, the former soccer player, where his employee Ramón had called the doctor
to show him how they had killed the peacock Aucaman, perhaps it was the Chupacabra.

Balm

The cousins went to Melisa's house, who was considered a witch, who had a pet turtle, bat,
and lizard. Etc. She said it was Chupacabra and that years ago people from the town had
given their souls to the devil to preserve their wines. When they returned, Mrs. Filomena
called them, they had killed her goose, it had no blood, just a hole in its neck.

Macarius

When they were riding downtown on their bike, Dante asked Ricky what he was reading to
Grandma the night before when they got angry because of Ricky's joke. He said it was
information about Chupacabra that he had gotten from the Internet and it was the same
thing that Melisa said, there was a testimony of a person from Puerto Rico named Macario,
perhaps it would be Melisa the murderer.

Mariela

Upon arriving at the center, Dante left Ricky accompanied by a friend that he introduced to
him in Plaza Mariela. He had to go to the post office. They talked. Then she left with her
father. Before, she had told him about everything that lived in the different plots, for
example. I name Carrillo as an example.
Cheek

Then Ricky told his cousin that Mariela had shown him a muscular man with skill in his
hands because he was going to be a doctor, he was a possible suspect, he had the last name
Carrillo, he couldn't finish his career because he was caring for his mother who was hit by a
horse. leaving it invalid. Then Ricky makes a joke and with that he rules out the possibility
that he was the murderer because the murderer kills with his right hand and Carrillo is
stupid. Dante says what if he is ambidextrous.

Villarroel

When Ricky found out from his grandfather that Villarroel was a millionaire and that he
wanted to buy the land to make hotels, he suspected that he could be the one to scare all
those who did not want to sell. Suddenly a scream is heard from Vicente, son of Vladimir
and Laly, because they had killed all his chickens.

Vladimir, Laly and Vicente

They went to look for Dr. Contreras, but he had no explanation for what happened. The
chickens had 2 holes while the goose only had 1. There will be 2 Chupacabras, Ricky
asked. He also said, I know whoever did it has 2 legs, he dresses and wears shoes like us.

Contreras

The veterinarian invited the cousins to his house to talk about what had happened, to which
they commented that they did not believe the Chupacabra could be anyone, but they were
not completely sure who. They were at this when they heard a creepy sound, the doctor said
it was Shogun their guard dog.

Shogun

The cousins convinced the doctor to show them his dog, which was a huge mastiff, and
there they said that they suspected 3 people, Melisa, Carrillo, and Villarroel, who would
catch him and report him.

By horse

While riding a horse, they wondered who it could be and agreed that at night they would go
out to investigate.

Ubregorda

At night they went to the Sawikis' house, they hid in the bushes and when they gave up
everything for lost they saw a light heading towards the corral, they approached and fought
until they immobilized him and it turned out to be Pedro Carrillo.

The Sawikis

After catching Carrillo they took him to the Sawikis, to which when they saw this they said
that the Ubregorda cow was Carrillo's and that he was going to see it at night that it served
as therapy for his depression over his mother, they apologized and When they returned,
they saw a truck at dawn, it was Villarroel.

Graciela

At breakfast, the grandfather told them that Villarroel was out at that time because he was
going to see his girlfriend Graciela, who his daughter Mariela did not approve of. They also
talked about basketball. The grandfather said that he played as an amateur and when they
finished breakfast he showed them some photos and they commented on the type of shoe
that was used at that time. Ricky remembered Contreras's invitation to play and said here, I
can catch him later. When he called Contreras, he told him that they had killed his dog
Shogun, he should be ruled out as a suspect...
The murderer

When they arrived at the plot they asked where the dog was, but he said that he had buried
the poor guy. Ricky convinced him to practice basketball when he saw the marks he left,
blaming him saying that he was the murderer to which the doctor opened a door and came
out attacking his dog Shogun who was not dead Dante with his knowledge that he had
when he was guard and defense He personally managed to get the dog to move away and
thus chase the doctor who set a trap for him with a net and caught him. When he was going
to hit him with a branch, Ricky saved him by throwing the ball at his face. Suddenly, the
police arrive that Grandpa had sent them because Ricky told him before leaving to send
them.

The Chupacabras

The veterinarian, when investigated by the police, turned out to be a fake doctor. He was
the son of a day laborer in Temuco and who had gone crazy and arrived in Pirqué where he
bought a plot of land. I thought I had caught a Chupacabra and that I should feed it blood at
first into a single hole with the syringe, but then I adapted it for 2 needles. When they
arrived, they were greeted like heroes with barbecues, Ricky made a joke by turning off the
lights and making an infernal noise through a megaphone when they turned on, everyone
was scared, even the witch Melisa. When they were going to eat a strange wind came out
and in the distance a terrifying noise. It would be the Chupacabra...
