I immediately signaled to the lads, asking them to follow me back to the police headquarters.
However, what no one expected was that this disturbance would escalate into a rebellion to seize power in a short time.
On the night of June 5th, barricades filled the streets and alleys of Paris, and everyone was armed. Around 8 PM, roadblocks on the main streets of the city were also set up.
The rebels, holding various types of guns, fired at us fiercely. With my intimate knowledge of Paris' street network, I led the lads to launch some surprise attacks on the barricades in the old city, capturing some armed men and rebels holding provocative banners.
Hmph! I'm not bragging, but every secret path, alleyway, and nook of Paris's map is engraved in my Francois Vidocq's heart.
