Croisseux-Percey Street in Paris, bustling and lively.
The bustling crowds weave through the narrow streets, clad in all manner of attire, from lavish silk to simple fabrics, from noble silk to commoner cloth, all dazzling with a unique brilliance.
In front of the shops, the vendors' cries rise and fall, attracting passersby to linger.
Among the myriad of shops, the office building at number 12 Croisseux-Percey Street seems less conspicuous.
On the ground floor of number 21 are two companies: one is the Paris branch of some unknown jeweler's bank, and the other is primarily engaged in shipping agent business.
Ascending the stairs to the second floor, one can see a copper plaque hanging on the door, with 'Breaux Detective Agency' carved flamboyantly on it, accompanied by two striking portraits on either side.
The note below the left portrait reads — Former Great Paris Police Hall Security Department Director, French Detective, Crime Master — Francois Vidocq.
