And we believe he tried to call
the switchboard from the post office
in the Rue de Faubourg.
People are creatures of habit, so the
same time of day is when we'll get
witnesses.

His last suspected location
was the post office,
I want to know where he went after
that, why the phone calls stopped
and where he ate.
Well, he was killed shortly after
his last meal, which was...
cream cod, an apple,
and white wine to drink.
So we should check the menus of all
the cafes and bistros, all of them.
Thank you.
Fingerprints?
He's not known to us.
Your registration number is
1808 AD38?
Have we had any cream-and-blue
Citroens
reported missing in the last few
days? And can you tell...
He asked for an envelope and a stamp.
Has the box been emptied since?
Every three hours. He posted it
after he make a phonecall.
- Has the box been emptied since?
- Every three hours. He posted it
What have you got?
I have a cream-and-blue Citroen
stolen eight days ago, but its
registration doesn't tally, so...
It's not our car.
What do you do when you get home,
Janvier?
I give my wife a kiss. Hmm.
When I get home
I get changed out of my suit jacket.
You think he went home
after calling you?
That would explain why the jacket
and the trousers don't match.
Moers, do you have a knife?
Yes, of course.
There we are.
Put the tip through here.
The two holes don't align. He wasn't

and they faked it to look outdoors.
All right, your dead man is
speaking to me at last, Maigret.
In the arch of his shoe
there's an odd sort of mud.
It's earth saturated with alcohol,
probably wine.
The type of soil
you find in a cellar
where a cask has been broached.
"Police in Picardie are still
working around the clock..."
I've said everything I saw,
gentlemen.
There's nothing else I can add.
"..on the slow train to Le Havre
on the night of 8th October,
the night of the third vicious
attack on a wealthy farmer.
burglaries and killings
on the nights of 21st September and
12th August.
The murders in each case
have been calculated.
Calls have been made to
the Police Judiciaire in Paris..."
What drink did the dead man order?
A Suze citron.
May I have a Suze citron?
And a token for the phone.
Where did he stand?
Just there.
Do you want a Suze citron?
No. Beer.
He said, "Since the 2:20 they've been
trying to get me alone and kill me."
