After Sauniere's body is found in the posture of the Vitruvian Man, the police call Harvard educator Robert Langdon, who is visiting the area on business. Police chief Bezu Fache reveals to him that he was brought to enable the police to interpret the obscure message Sauniere left during the last minutes of his life. The message incorporates a Fibonacci arrangement out of request.
Langdon discloses to Fache that Sauniere was a main expert regarding the matter of goddess work of art and that the pentacle Sauniere drew on his chest in his own blood speaks to an implication to the goddess and not demon revere, as Fache accepts.
Sophie Neveu, a police cryptographer, covertly discloses to Langdon that she is Sauniere's repelled granddaughter, and that Fache thinks Langdon is the killer in light of the fact that the last line in her granddad's message, which was intended for Neveu, said "P.S. Discover Robert Langdon," which Fache had deleted preceding Langdon's appearance. Be that as it may, "P.S." really alludes to Sophie, as the epithet given to her by her granddad is "Princess Sophie". It doesn't allude to PostScript. Neveu is disturbed by recollections of her granddad's contribution in a mystery agnostic gathering. Notwithstanding, she comprehends that her granddad proposed Langdon to unravel the code, which drives them to a protected store box at the Paris part of the Depository Bank of Zurich.
Neveu and Langdon escape from the police and visit the bank. In the sheltered store box they discover a container containing the cornerstone: a cryptex, a tube shaped, hand-held vault with five concentric, turning dials named with letters. When these are arranged effectively, they open the gadget. On the off chance that the cryptex is constrained open, an encased vial of vinegar breaks and disintegrates the message inside the cryptex, which was composed on papyrus. The case containing the cryptex contains pieces of information to its secret key.
Langdon and Neveu take the cornerstone to the home of Langdon's companion, Sir Leigh Teabing, a specialist on the Holy Grail, the legend of which is vigorously associated with the Priory. There, Teabing clarifies that the Grail isn't a cup, however a tomb containing the bones of Mary Magdalene.
The trio at that point escapes the nation on Teabing's private plane, on which they presume that the best possible mix of letters illuminate Neveu's given name, Sofia. Opening the cryptex, they find a littler cryptex inside it, alongside another enigma that at last leads the gathering to the tomb of Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.
During the trip to Britain, Neveu uncovers the wellspring of her irritation from her granddad ten years sooner. Showing up home out of the blue from college, Neveu furtively witnesses a spring fruitfulness ritual directed in the mystery cellar of her granddad's nation home. From her concealing spot, she is stunned to see her granddad with a lady at the focal point of a custom went to by people who are wearing veils and reciting commendation to the goddess. She escapes the house and severs all contact with Saunière. Langdon clarifies that what she saw was an old service known as hieros gamos or "hallowed marriage."
When they land at Westminster Abbey, Teabing is uncovered to be the Teacher for whom Silas is working. Teabing wishes to utilize the Holy Grail, which he accepts is a progression of reports building up that Jesus Christ wedded Mary Magdalene and bore kids, so as to destroy the Vatican. He propels Langdon at gunpoint to fathom the second cryptex's secret key, which Langdon acknowledges is "apple." Langdon furtively opens the cryptex and expels its substance before hurling the void cryptex noticeable all around.

The watchman of Rosslyn Chapel, Marie Chauvel Saint Clair, is Neveu's tragically deceased grandma. It is uncovered that Neveu and her sibling are relatives of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The Priory of Sion shrouded her personality to shield her from potential dangers to her life.
The genuine importance of the last message is that the Grail is covered underneath the little pyramid straightforwardly beneath the La Pyramide Inversee, the reversed glass pyramid of the Louver. It additionally lies underneath the "Rose Line," an inference to "Rosslyn." Langdon makes sense of this last piece to the riddle; he follows the Rose Line to La Pyramide Inversee, where he bows to ask before the shrouded stone coffin of Mary Magdalene, as the Templar knights did before him.
