"Yes, you don't tell me what you thought. What was your opinion about her? Everything tended to incriminate her not only in your eyes, because, logically speaking, she had taken part in all the attempts to murder you, but also in the eyes of the police. They knew that she used to pay Sauverand clandestine visits at his house on the Boulevard Richard-Wallace.
Afterward, wishing also to examine the home of the man with the ebony stick, he got into his car again, still accompanied by Mazeroux, and told the man to drive to the Boulevard Richard-Wallace. The car crossed the Seine and followed the right bank. "Faster," he said to his new chauffeur, through the speaking-tube. "I'm accustomed to go at a good pace."
Five revolvers were levelled at him. And yet no sign of fear showed in his face; and he simply said: "What do you want, Monsieur? What are you here for?" "We are here in the name of the law, with a warrant for your arrest." "A warrant for my arrest?" "A warrant for the arrest of Hubert Lautier, residing at 8 Boulevard Richard-Wallace." "But it's absurd!" said the man. "It's incredible!
M. Desmalions, however, preferred to walk about the room, with his hands behind his back, as if to continue his reflections before speaking. The silence was prolonged. Don Luis waited patiently. Then, suddenly, the Prefect stopped and said: "When you left the Boulevard Richard-Wallace, Monsieur, did you go straight home?"
"But you don't even know who he is, Chief." "Yes, I do: it's he." "Who?" "The man with the ebony stick. He's cut off his beard and shaved his face, but I knew him for all that. It was the man who was taking pot-shots at us yesterday morning, from the top of his stairs on the Boulevard Richard-Wallace, the one who killed Inspector Ancenis. The blackguard!
And remember that the crime was committed round about midnight. I conclude from this " "That will do; be off!" "But " "Get!" "Then I don't see you again?" "Meet me in half an hour outside our man's place." "What man?" "Marie Fauville's accomplice." "But you don't know " "The address? Why, you gave it to me yourself: Boulevard Richard-Wallace, No. 8. Go! And don't look such a fool."
