| Summary | "Le petit vieux des Batignolles" by Émile Gaboriau is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a bizarre murder case involving a retired coiffeur, Anténor Pigoreau, whose death raises intriguing suspicions about his family, particularly his nephew and his beautiful wife, Clara. As the narrative unfolds, the tale is narrated by J.-B. Casimir Godeuil, an aspiring writer who becomes embroiled in the investigation spearheaded by his enigmatic neighbor, Monsieur Méchinet. At the start of the narrative, a well-dressed man delivers a mysterious manuscript to the editorial offices of "Petit Journal", which intrigues the staff. As they discuss its potential publication, they realize that the author, J.-B.-Casimir Godeuil, lacks contact details, sparking curiosity about his identity. The opening sets the stage for Godeuil's memories of a recent murder he witnessed while living in Paris. He describes his encounters with his neighbor, Monsieur Méchinet, leading up to the discovery of a crime scene where an elderly man lies dead. As Godeuil becomes more involved with the murder investigation, the complexity of the case unfolds, revealing layers of deception, familial ties, and the darker side of human nature.
