Here I am in the New Year, still suspended, still caught in the political web. While my chief dukes it out with the brass over my status, I’m still twiddling my thumbs.
Well, okay, I’m not exactly doing nothing. But you knew that, didn’t you?
Looks like the killer took a holiday, but I have a feeling he’s getting itchy. I’m getting itchy, too, so I know what he’s thinking: it’s time.
In case you’ve lost count, we’re up to three victims now: the first in the 1st district; the second in the 2nd district; the third…well, you get where I’m going with this. Each body has been left in plain sight, in the middle of the night, near very public buildings—no mean feat: police headquarters; treasury building; Place de la Republique. Each location is a place belonging to the citizens of Paris. This guy’s making a point, no? Or maybe he’s just showing off.
Can you guess the public place in the 4th district? I’ll give you a hint: if he can pull this one off, he’s got to have superpowers.
Let’s have some fun, my junior detectives, shall we? Get yourself a map of Paris and mark the public places in each district. Shoot me your answers in the comment box, either here, or under this post on my Facebook page (I am Luc of the Street). Tell me where you think the next victim will be found. Let’s see how sharp you are.
And while you’re working that out, I’m going to see what I can do to prevent number four from happening at all. You game? On y va ! We don’t need no stinkin’ badges.
