Book Description
Police agents leave the Barriere d'Italie to make their nightly rounds in a tough, sparsely settled district inhabited by thugs and cheap crooks. In this precinct the police are always careful to move in groups. Their leader is old Gevrol, an unimaginative, fearless inspector. About one hundred yards from Mother Chupin's wine shop they hear some loud cries, and the whole party rushes forward over the rough ground. The house is closed up tight; only bands of light through the shutters give evidence of life within. One eager young officer climbs on a box to peer through the shutters, and his evident horror at what he sees causes the officers to hasten their attempt to break into the house.At Gevrol's order, two agents batter down the door. Inside on the mud floor are three bodies, two men dead and one wounded. Swaying on his feet is a stocky man with a revolver in his hand. On the stairs, a hysterical Mother Chupin hides her face in her apron. One agent seizes the man with the gun and disarms him, while another agent kneels beside the wounded victim, who is wearing a soldier's uniform. Murmuring that he had received his just deserts, the man dies.Gevrol diagnoses the affair as a drunken brawl and is pleased that the assumed murderer was so quickly caught. The young agent who had peered through the shutters, however, expresses doubts about the case. Gevrol patronizingly asks him if he suspects some mystery. When the young agent says yes, Gevrol tells him he can stay with the bodies until morning and investigate to his heart's content.
