Inspector Lavardin is a very special detective who handles irony and mockery with extreme pleasure and even sort of physical accomplishment. He has ethics of his own, but still linked up with those of an honest and sensible man. He takes his orders from indeterminate authorities and conducts his inquiries facing all ways. His character looks alike Théorème's who would have moved in the same circles as Vidocq and Candide, plus the touch of sarcasm which is the stamp of Claude Chabrol.
