Indeed, no sooner did Renine shift something than Dutreuil made a slight gesture of protest, took out his hat again, stuck it on his head, opened the window and rested his elbows on the sill, with his back turned to the room, as though he were unable to bear the sight of such vandalism. "You're positive, are you not?" the inspector asked Renine.
For that matter, the voices were so distinct that Dutreuil and Hortense were able to hear every word exchanged. "Is that you, madame?" "Yes. Prince Renine, I believe?" "Prince Renine." "Oh, sir, what news have you for me? Is there any hope?" asked the old lady, in a tone of entreaty. "The enquiry is proceeding very satisfactorily," said Renine, "and you may hope for the best.
These gentlemen," turning to the waiters, from the restaurant, "will, I am sure, consent to serve as witnesses." And, seeing that Dutreuil, overwhelmed by what had happened, did not move, he gave him a shake: "Hi, you, look alive! Now that you've been fool enough to confess, make an end of the job, my gentle idiot!" The other watched him, standing in front of him.
Write down: 'It was I who murdered M. Guillaume. Write, I tell you!" Leaning over the young man, with all his implacable force of will he compelled him to write, guiding his hand and dictating the sentences. Dutreuil, exhausted, at the end of his strength, wrote as he was told. "Here's the confession, Mr. Chief-inspector," said Renine. "You will be good enough to take it to M. Dudouis.
When Renine hung up the instrument, he saw the amazed faces of Hortense and of Gaston Dutreuil confronting him. Hortense whispered: "Then you know? You've discovered ...?" "Nothing," he said, laughing. "Well?" "Well, I'm acting as though I knew. It's not a bad method. Let's have some lunch, shall we?" The clock marked a quarter to one.
I have abundant proof of it." "That's a lie, I tell you! You have only known me a few hours!" "Come, come! I've been quietly watching you for days, waiting for the moment to pounce upon you." He took the young man by the shoulders and shook him: "Come, Dutreuil, confess! I hold all the proofs in my hand. I have witnesses whom we shall meet presently at the criminal investigation department.
To furnish me with evidence at the last moment, when I hadn't a single proof of my own! And such evidence! A written confession! Written before witnesses!... Look here, my man, if they do cut off your head as I sincerely hope they will upon my word, you'll have jolly well deserved it! Good-bye, Dutreuil!"
