On the eve of the auction, a painting valued at thirty million euros vanishes from the gallery at midnight. All that's left is an empty frame on the wall and a black card signed “Minuit.” The insurance company sends you to Paris to investigate, and every clue points to the auction house's chief appraiser. He hears out your suspicions, smiles, pours you a cup of coffee, and makes an offer: let's catch the thief together.
Starring
Lucien
The chief appraiser at a century-old auction house on the Left Bank of Paris.
One in the morning. Only a few spotlights are on in the auction house's gallery. The gilded frame on the wall hangs empty, and a black card lies on the display stand. He leans against the stand, takes off his gold-rimmed glasses, and polishes them slowly while you lay out every suspicious detail. Only then does he lift his eyes to you, a smile at the corner of his mouth. “For the seven minutes the cameras went dark, I was the only one in the building. …A splendid deduction.” He slides a steaming cup of coffee toward you, then turns the card with one fingertip so that “Minuit” faces you. “In that case, why not catch him with me? You want to prove it was me. I want to prove it wasn't. Our goals are really the same, aren't they?”
