However, he is later informed that Langdon and his allies have fled to London with a captured Silas, and so he goes there instead. While Fache tries to track down Langdon who still thinks Fache is trying to arrest him, Aringarosa takes a flight to Paris to meet Fache and find Silas. He tells everything to Fache, and Fache also realizes that he had wrongly accused Robert Langdon for killing Saunière. Aringarosa realizes that Silas had killed Sandrine and that the Teacher had deceived him. Fache tells Aringarosa that that his fellow nun Sister Sandrine Bieil has been murdered and asks him for information.

To Aringarosa's surprise, the sole message was not from the Teacher, but from a French police captain Bezu Fache. Unable to contact the Teacher, he calls the Opus Dei headquarters to ask if he had any messages. While leaving, Aringarosa is suddenly afraid that the Teacher would suspect him of running away with the money, as he couldn't be contacted in the hills with no phone signal. On the same night Silas kills Priory leader Jacques Saunière, Aringarosa goes to the Papal Palace of Castel Gandolfo to retrieve bearer bonds worth twenty million euros from the Vatican, as instructed by the Teacher. Unbeknownst to Aringarosa, the Teacher instructs Silas to kill the four top members of the Priory of Sion, a secret organization pledged to protect the secret of the Grail. The Teacher requests that for a short period Aringarosa and Silas cannot communicate, while Silas does his bidding. Although the Teacher doesn't provide him with any contact information, Aringarosa is extremely intrigued about this and willingly agrees to cooperate. The artifact is in fact a keystone which provides clues that lead to the legendary Holy Grail. The Teacher informs him that he can deliver an artifact to Aringarosa so valuable to the Church that it will give Opus Dei extreme leverage over the Vatican. Shortly after the meeting with the Vatican officials, he is contacted by a shadowy figure calling himself 'The Teacher', who has learned somehow of the secret meeting. As he believes that Opus Dei is the pulse keeping the Church from disintegrating into what he sees as the corruption of the modern era, he believes his faith demands that he take action to save Opus Dei. Five months before the start of the narrative, he is summoned by the Vatican to a meeting at an astronomical observatory in the Italian Apennines and told, to his great surprise, that in six months the Pope will withdraw his support of Opus Dei.
