The Rain of Blood
- Bertuccio's epic story continues in this chapter.
- Hidden behind Caderousse's inn, Bertuccio watched Caderousse kill the jeweler and his wife (Mrs. Caderousse), taking both the money and the diamond with him as he ran out of town.
- Because Bertuccio was at the scene of the crime, the police arrested him and accused him of the murders.
- But Bertuccio remembered that Caderousse had been given the diamond by Abbé Busoni (a.k.a. Edmond, a.k.a. the Count), and he tells the police this bit of juicy info.
- The police searched for Abbé Busoni, and they found him.
- Abbé Busoni visited Bertuccio in prison.
- The Abbé Busoni told Bertuccio to get a hold of the Count of Monte Cristo if he should ever get out of jail.
- Soon after, Caderousse miraculously confessed to killing the jeweler and his wife.
- Bertuccio was freed, and he went to work as the Count of Monte Cristo's steward.
- When Bertuccio was away one day, Benedetto (who was eleven years-old at the time) tortured and killed Bertuccio's sister-in-law who had been a kind of mother to Benedetto.
- This is Bertuccio's story.
