Chapter 280 The Suspect Has Been Found
Anyone who has watched French films and TV series will find a characteristic: the police in French films and TV series are basically either "bad" or "stupid" or look ugly.
Especially French "national treasure" director Luc Besson is definitely the best in this field! Whether it is the police in "Léon: The Professional" or the police in "Taxi", it feels like there is no normal French police.
It's no secret that the French don't respect the police, and they even have a nickname that everyone knows: 'chicken'.
It’s interesting that the French police have this nickname.
In 1871, the Paris Police Headquarters was relocated to the former Paris Fire Brigade camp, which was originally the Paris poultry market, so the Paris police got this nickname.
But the weird thing is: firefighters have been here longer, why didn’t the firefighters get this nickname while the police did…
What’s even more interesting is that even the French police themselves know that they have this nickname.
In 1962, the car of French President Charles de Gaulle and his wife was ambushed by gunmen while driving in Clamart, a suburb of Paris. The bullet went straight through the rear of the car. Mrs. de Gaulle's first reaction was to blurt out: "I hope my chicken is okay!"
After hearing her words, the police officers who were escorting the president were moved to tears and thanked the First Lady for her concern, because they all knew that "Chicken" was the nickname of the police.
In fact, Madame de Gaulle said this because there was cooked chicken that the first lady had just bought in the trunk of their car.
Another reason why the French dislike the police is that they are typical representatives of the saying "a new emperor, new ministers".
After Germany occupied France, the French police were good helpers in helping Germany govern France. During the large-scale raid on Jews in 1942, more than 99% of the Jews in France were arrested by the French police. After the Normandy Landing, the French police changed again. On the eve of the liberation of Paris, almost all police officers became resistance members, although they had been making every effort to arrest Jews not long ago.
This is very French!
Perhaps the French police themselves knew that this was not a very decent thing to do. There is a sign in front of the Paris Police Headquarters that reads: On August 19, 1944, General Leclerc led the French 2nd Armored Division towards Paris. In order to cooperate with General Leclerc's actions, the Paris police took up arms and revolted. A total of 167 police officers died in the battle to liberate Paris six days later.
As for the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Jews arrested by the French police, they did not mention a word.
Under normal circumstances, Pavard himself would have pointed at Will's nose and called him a 'chicken', but now was not the time.
Pavard stopped his men: "Are you crazy? How do you address Mr. Will? Apologize to him immediately!"
His men were stunned, but since their boss had spoken, what could they do? They could only apologize to Will.
Pavard said, "I called you in to ask if you know who did the Laciota thing?"
After hearing this, his subordinates shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"Boss, if we do something this big, can we not inform you?"
"Yeah, this was definitely not done by our people!"
Pawar angrily said, "The gun used by the murderer is a Saiga-12 shotgun, and the explosives used are plastic explosives! Do you need me to tell you anything? Who has these two things gone missing recently? Tell me now! Don't let me find out who did it! Otherwise, I will kill him without a burial place!"
After hearing Pavard's words, a man in a jacket next to him looked grim: "Boss..."
"Angie, did you do this?" Pavard frowned and looked at the person who spoke.
Angie shook her head desperately: "No, no, no, Boss, I didn't do this. It's just..."
"Just?" Pavard looked at Angie: "Just what?"
Angie muttered, "I did get some C4 and detonators a while ago. But I don't have any Saiga-12."
"Who did you give it to?" Will, who was sitting there, asked directly.
Angie replied, "To a guy nicknamed 'Pharaoh'."
"What's your real name?" Will demanded.
Anji shook his head and said, "I really don't know. How can I trace the other party's identity when buying and selling something like this?"
Will snorted coldly after hearing this. "Then you're useless! Pavard, have you decided who will take the brunt of the bonded warehouse issue?"
Pavard said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on Anji.
Angie hurriedly said, "I remember now! That man is called Ousmane Giroud! He's from the 'New Gypsy'!"
Will laughed angrily after hearing this. "Dude, you're quite interesting! Planning to use me as a borrowed knife to kill someone? Even a fool knows that you and the 'New Gypsy' people are enemies! Pavard, it seems that your men are not as honest as I thought. Three days is enough time for you to pack up, right? I will visit you in prison in three days!"
Pavard got anxious after hearing this: "Anji! Tell me what's going on! Tell me the truth!"
Angie was also horrified when he saw this. "Boss, I'm not kidding. This Ousmane Giroud just came from North Africa. His cousin is Thierry See from 'The New Gypsy'. He bought some plastic explosives from me and said he was going to the Pas-de-Calais region to blast coal!"
France has closed all its coal and iron mines since 2004, partly because of pollution and partly because they do not have many mining resources.
However, France's demand for coal is not low. Today, France is the world's second largest coal importer. Where there is demand, there is a market. Therefore, it is not uncommon for some criminals in France to steal coal from old mines.
But now Pavard was so angry after hearing this: "Are you fucking brainless? Who is going to use plastic explosives to blow up the mine?"
After hearing this, Anji murmured, "Boss, you said that in our business, as long as the price is right, we can even sell our mother. The price he gave is very suitable!"
Will stood up and walked to Angie, patting her on the shoulder: "Dude, I hope you make enough money to buy a cemetery."
"What do you mean?" Angie looked at Will with wide eyes.
Will shook his head and turned to Pavard. "Pavard, my friend, I hope you know how much I paid to help you this time. You'd better pray to God that what Angie said is true, otherwise even God won't be able to save you in three days. I'm not trying to scare you this time. This matter is really that serious."
"Boss, everything I said is true!" Angie said hurriedly.
Pavard glanced at Angie and said, "Will, there's an envelope in the usual place. You know what I mean!"
Will waved, opened the door and left.
