Chapter 100: Sonnier is dead
William didn't wait a few minutes for the café to see a large group of policemen running into the café, and after seeing that William was the only male, the group of policemen directly surrounded William.
Okay, the guy on the phone with him is really good, but I'm not causing trouble in France, so why are the police looking for me.
"Mr. William Devonhill?" asked a middle-aged policeman with a beard at the head.
William nodded, "Mr. Policeman, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Monsieur Devonhill, my name is Bezou Fahi, Chief of the French Central Judicial Police, when did you meet Jacques Sonier today, what time did you separate, and where did you go between 6 and 8 o'clock?" asked Director Bezou Fasch.
William looked at Bezou Fahi, and then looked at the surrounding French police, no one was strong, and said helplessly: "We met at this café at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and separated after half an hour, and after the separation, I went to the Champs-Promenade and bought 2 Patek Philippe watches at the Patek Philippe store, one of which is in my hand."
William showed the Patek Philippe in his hand to Bezou Fahi, Bezou Fahi glanced at William's watch a few times and nodded, he was an old policeman at a glance and saw that the Patek Philippe in William's hand was real, looking at the style is definitely not cheap, Bezou Fahi is a little less suspicious of William, at least if William is the murderer, he will no longer stay outside the Louvre, waiting for the police to come.
"After leaving Patek Philippe, I went shopping at the Eiffel Tower, met two celebrities who traveled to France from Hong Kong Island, talked to them until half past seven, then walked to the café, ordered dinner, and then called the professor at 8:40 before he came, and then you came.
Mr. Policeman, can I ask what the hell is going on, why Professor Jacques Saunier didn't come, is there an accident?"
Bezou Fahi ignored William, he first asked his subordinates to ask the waiter at the café, and also used the walkie-talkie to instruct the people in the monitoring center to check whether there was any video of William in the surveillance on the Champs-E-Riches and the Place du Eiffel Tower, and after a few minutes, Bezou Fahi received a reply from the monitoring center confirming that William had alibi evidence.
Bezzo Fasch hesitated and said to William: "Professor Jacques Saunier was murdered in the Louvre at about 7 p.m. this evening."
"What" William was taken aback, and William stood up in surprise, the wooden chair he was clutching at the sound of his grasp.
Bezu Fahi and the surrounding policemen were startled by William, looking at the back of the chair that William had broken, swallowing saliva in horror, everyone's hearts were furious, how much strength did it take to pinch the chair quilt, if it was pinched on a person, the bones would not be pinched immediately.
William roared, "Damn, tell me who did it," and he managed to get in touch with Jacques Sonier, who died in a few hours, and made him go up to Henry to tell him the secret.
Then I wondered if it could be the hostile forces that Henry had left in his letter, was it someone looking for the secret guarded by the Devon Hill family?
Bezu Fahi unconsciously touched his wrist and said calmly: "I don't know, I am also looking for the murderer, and after our examination, Professor Jacques Saunier wrote your and Professor Robert Langdon's names on the ground with an invisibility potion before he died.
Now that your suspicion has been cleared, the murderer can only be Robert Langdon, we have found Robert Langdon, I will debunk Robert Langdon at the scene and catch him in front of the victim's body."
"You may go, Monsieur Devonhill, but I ask that you not leave France for the time being, and that I need to summon you at any time," went on to Bezou Fahi.
William wasn't going to just leave, he wanted to see if he could find any clues on the professor's body.
"Can I follow you to see the professor, I just came to him from Oxford today, I didn't expect that after only a few hours of separation, the professor was murdered, I want to see you catch the murderer with my own eyes, and you said that the professor wrote my name with an invisibility potion when he was dying, maybe I can find something at the scene, officer, maybe I can help." ”
Bezou Fashi thought about it, and there was indeed an abbreviation of William's name on the scene, indicating that the professor did think of William before the temporary time, and he still asked this guy to stay close to him.
Nodding his head, "Okay, Mr. Devon Hill, you can follow me, but I hope you don't disturb my interrogation"
"No problem, I promise not to disturb your interrogation, I'll just take a look" William hurriedly assured.
William followed Bezou Fasch to the Louvre exhibition hall where Jacques Sonier was killed, he was the first time to come to the Louvre, looked curiously at the huge oil paintings around him, and asked: "Officer, are these oil paintings real, this is the first time I have seen such a large oil painting, it must be seven or eight meters high,"
Bezou Fahi looked at William with disgust, he was really a nouveau riche, and asked rhetorically: "This is the Louvre, do you say these paintings are real or fake?"
Wait for William to nod self-righteously, and then look at these huge oil paintings with an obsessive face, looking at them like treasures, and silently thinking to himself, God, how much is this worth.
Faxi looked at William with an idiot look and said, "Of course it's fake, there are so many tourists here every day, it's really long ago." ”
See God, you soulless, William stared at Fahi angrily, this guy is really as hateful as when talking on the phone.
Fahi shrugged with a smile, playing an upstart like you who doesn't know how to pretend to understand.
Dejectedly, he followed Bezou Fashi to the professor's body, and William was shocked by the professor's appearance before he died.
I saw Jacques Sonier's whole body naked, a five-pointed star painted on his body, and an eye-catching one under his left chest, which should be a fatal injury, but why did the murderer put the professor like this.
"God, why did the murderer put the professor like this, and painted five stars on him, is this a special ritual?"
Bezu Fahi shook his head and said solemnly: "You said that it was not the murderer who did it, but the professor himself."
"What," exclaimed William, "why did he do that, what was he trying to say?"
Bezou Fashi held a fluorescent flashlight in his hand and shone on the ground, only to see a few lines of numbers and words appear on the ground, but before William could see clearly, Fahi's walkie-talkie came with a report from his subordinates that Professor Langdon was coming, and William had to follow Officer Fahi to the elevator to the ground to see Professor Langdon.
"Professor Langdon"
"Yes"
"Hello, Professor, I'm Officer Bezou Fahi" After the two shook hands, Fashi saw that Professor Langdon had been looking at the pyramid in front of the Louvre and asked, "Do you like pyramids?"
Professor Langdon said: "It's spectacular."
Fahi said with disgust on his face: "It's just a scar on Paris's face."
William looked at Langdon dumbfounded, isn't this Brother Hanks? In his previous life, Brother Hanks was very famous, but for William, a person born in 98 in his previous life, Hanks really hasn't seen a few movies, and even if he has watched more than ten years later, he can only remember the impressive clips, and it is impossible to remember all the details. What movie is this?
William, who was in a daze, was amused by Fahi's words, the pyramid in front of the Louvre is not something that all Parisians like, and many French people feel that erecting such a modern glass pyramid in front of the ancient Louvre is a disservice to the Louvre, which seems nondescript.
"This is William Devonhill, a close friend of Jacques Saunier, who had just been summoned from England to Paris a few hours before his death, and I have asked him and you to assist in the investigation, and here Mr. Langdon. ”
The professor looked at William with an excited expression on his face strangely, smiled politely and nodded, and said hello. William remembered that this was the real world, and in order to avoid Fahi from suspecting him again, he didn't want to talk to Langdon at all right now.
Everyone took the elevator down to the basement floor, and Langdon saw an inverted pyramid and said happily: "This is an inverted pyramid, the two pyramids may correspond, they are so special."
"I'm just a historian and rune, and the officer wasn't sure I could help," Langdon said as he walked. ”
Fahi pouted and thought to himself that I didn't ask you for help, "How long have you known Professor Saunière?"
"It's not long, we've only met once, we've met at an academic seminar," Langdon said, smiling awkwardly as he spoke.
"What's funny?"
"We had a big difference in academics, and I was taken aback when he called me one time."
When the three of them walked to the elevator, Professor Langdon's face became obviously nervous when he looked at the elevator, and he said, "Can we take the stairs?"
Fahi, the rude fellow, didn't care about Langdon's opinion, and walked into the elevator with William, stared at Langdon, and motioned for him to come in.
Langdon was stared at by Fahi, there was no way to just walk into the elevator, after entering the elevator, Langdon looked very nervous, his expression was dull, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't speak clearly, William and Fashi glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but doubt Professor Langdon.
