Listen to me. Ganimard is otherwise engaged at this moment and will not be here for a few days. On the other hand, the Comte de Gesvres has telegraphed to Holmlock Shears, who has promised his assistance next week.
Where was Holmlock Shears, Lupin's prisoner, put on board ship? Near the Havre. And what was the scene of the whole of the present tragedy? Ambrumesy, on the road between the Havre and Dieppe. Rouen, Dieppe, the Havre: always the Cauchois triangle.
"Because, if I do not say so ?" "Your father will be kidnapped to-night, as Ganimard and Holmlock Shears were." Beautrelet gave a smile. "Don't laugh answer!" "My answer is that I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I have promised to speak and I shall speak." "Speak in the sense which I have told you." "I shall speak the truth," cried Beautrelet, eagerly.
It was in this way that they learned the reputation which he enjoyed among his schoolfellows, who called him the rival of Holmlock Shears. Thanks to his powers of logical reasoning, with no further data than those which he was able to gather from the papers, he had, time after time, proclaimed the solution of very complicated cases long before they were cleared up by the police.
I am bound, however, to say in his favor that he was taken unawares by the really unexpected rapidity of your investigation. If you had only left us a few hours longer, you would have escaped that unpardonable attempt." "And I should doubtless have enjoyed the enormous advantage of undergoing the same fate as M. Ganimard and Mr. Holmlock Shears?" "Exactly," said Lupin, laughing heartily.
