And l've evidence.

Not to mention what's at the lab.

The murderer left zigzag

mud tracks on the floor.

l recognised the design.

l called in at home.

Here are the zigzags.

Ferrot and l bought a pair

two months ago.

They were in a sale at Myris,

Rue Royale.

Ourfirst witness

mentioned pale shoes.

What witness?

An old woman who feeds

the local cats.

She saw someone running.

The time matches.

He dropped a glove.

She picked it up.

lt's this one.

-And the weapon?

-We don't know yet.

But the killer is a violent man,

he smashed her skull.

We've his letter.

''Sorry. l'll always love you.''

Signed ''M''.

Same time:
1:30.

We've the victim's letter.

''l'm going to leave you.''

No visible break-in.

Neighbours heard nothing.

A break-in that turns bad,

he flees without precaution.

We're not hopeful about prints.

The cleaner had dusted

before finding the body.

How's yourflu?

Good, you'll head the inquiry.

l've asked Paris for information.

The victim has lived here 5 years,

the tenants said.

First, find out who with,

obviously.

The tenants saw no one, anyway.

Nor the cleaning woman.

l'll trace her employers

from pay slips.

You wanted a word.

Was it this?

Yes, he's here.

Lemblin?

Thank you.

Here, Ferrot.

A second eye-witness.

He talked to a man following

the victim. He's waiting.

lf catwoman's description matches,

then there's no mistake.

Good luck.

Thrse.

lt wasn't in my head.

Take the wheel.

lt's here.

You go,

l'm off to the chemist's.

l'll meet you at the bistro

in half an hour.

OK.

Mr Lemblin is out,

he'll be half an hour.

Oh. Tell him l'm waiting

in the caf next door.

-Very well, sir.

- Thank you.

lnspector?

Hello. Mr Lemblin.

- Sit down.

- Thank you.

You have a statement to make

about last night?

lt was around midnight.

l was walking Josphine,

my dog.

How farfrom him were you?

About 20 metres.

-Who's that?

- My boss.

Excuse me.

Looks like the same guy.

But as he was hiding, Mr Lemblin

didn't really see his face.

Two identical descriptions

around the same time.

Obviously he was her lover.

How could she never

have talked about me?

Partitions.

Compartmentalisation.

The principle that prevents sinking.

He hit her because she wouldn't tell.
