a Conversation that could get you killed, pt. I. ch. 3
Three weeks into the investigation, without relying on a single strained sylable, Jean Jacques and Jean Francois both made the same startling revelation.
« Un ours! » Jean Jacques declared.
« Que est-ce que tu veux dire? »
« L’homme qui a tue l’ecrivain. Il bouge exactement comme un ours! »
Jean Jacques believed that based on the signs of dynamism in the room, they were looking for a killer who had mimicked the basic gestures and patterns of a bear (“un ours”). The lab results which Jean Francois had obtained that morning confirmed the peculiar theory. The room was covered in a strange synthetic fibre used primarily in the recreation of fur on high-quality black bear-suits. The simultaneous breakthrough was remarkable. It was a validation of their respective techniques, and a reason to keep pushing.
The puzzle pieces that began falling into place suggested a large, burly, possibly very hairy man who rented a bear costume for Halloween, tricked Quintin into opening his door, and then overpowered him in the course of a brutal and grizzly attack.
That night the two francophone detectives went out to a cheap Italian restaurant to celebrate their progress. Though they both got obnoxiously drunk, still they knew, this was only the beginning.
