The Local Hero Corner: 3Qs for LeClou

Every week, we like to single out a great public servant and highlight their great contributions to Paris and society at large. This week, we're really honored to ask three questions of Inspector Freddie LeClou. These three questions were posed to Monsieur LeClou by email, because he is currently out on assignment.

1. What was your latest arrest?
2. What is your approach to solving crimes?
3. Are there any famous detectives who have inspired you?

1) My last arrest was six months ago. I had the pleasure of handcuffing Jean-Marie Dufour, a boss in the infamous DuFour crime family. I tracked Jean-Marie to a fishing boat in Marseilles where he had been hiding out for the past five years, disguised as a mackerel fisherman.

2) I approach each case differently, but it is my intuition that guides me every time.

3) I come from a long line of super sleuths. The LeClou family has been investigating the criminal mind since the Lumieres era. One of my great grandfathers was Louis XVI's personal detective. He was able to solve a complex assassination attempt on the king's life. Unfortunately, by the time he solved the case, the royal family had all been decapitated. Family legend holds that my great grandfather was so racked with guilt that he cut off his own head. Morality courses through the veins of every LeClou.
