Then he went to Ganimard's flat in the Rue Pergolèse and told the servant to wake him.
"I've got him again."
"Arsène Lupin?"
"Yes."
"If you haven't got him any better than you did just now, I may as well go back to bed. However, let's go and see the commissary."
They went to the Rue Mesnil and, from there, to the house of the commissary, M. Decointre. Next, accompanied by half a dozen men, they returned to the Rue Chalgrin.
"Any news?" asked Shears of the two policemen watching the house.
"No, sir; none."
The daylight was beginning to show in the sky when the commissary, after disposing his men, rang and entered the lodge of the concierge. Terrified by this intrusion, the woman, all trembling, said that there was no tenant on the ground floor.
"What do you mean; no tenant?" cried Ganimard.
