“missing piece” – there’s a piece missing between the legs and the feet.
… about the reveal?
The Spanish version reads better than the English. I would render it slightly differently than the post’s title above: “The mystery always tells us that…”
… but in retrospect my translation does not allow for the correct solution to finish the sentence, see Reginald @6, below.
They mysterious man in black is a recurring character in Macanudo. If I remember correctly, he is often in strips that leave the reader hanging.
“about the unknown”?

Vicar of Dibley (to Alice): How do you keep a dumb blonde in unbearable suspense?
Alice: I don’t know…!
Vicar: I’ll tell you next week (and then she leaves).
There’s someone I know who will suddenly say to you “Want to know a secret?” and whatever you answer, he will just say nothing at all. Because of course if he told you the secret, it wouldn’t be a secret.
Cue the Pierces.
