"Capitaine?" The phone crackled like a walkie-talkie.Fache felt his teeth clench in rage. He could imagine nothing important enough that Collet would interrupt this surveillance cachee—especially at this critical juncture.He gave Langdon a calm look of apology. "One moment please." He pulled the phone from his belt and pressed the radio transmission button. "Oui?"— Capitaine? — В трубке потрескивало, словно при радиопомехах.Фаш в ярости стиснул зубы. Что такого важного могло произойти, чтобы Колле вдруг посмел прервать его интимную беседу с подозреваемым, особенно в такой критический момент?— Oui?>4>

Fache's anger stalled momentarily. A cryptographer? Despite the lousy timing, this was probably good news. Fache, after finding Sauniere's cryptic text on the floor, had uploaded photographs of the entire crime scene to the Cryptography Department in hopes someone there could tell him what the hell Sauniere was trying to say.

Обнаружив на полу загадочное послание Соньера, Фаш тут же передал снимки сцены преступления в отдел криптографии в надежде, что кто-то из их специалистов сможет разъяснить ему, что, черт побери, хотел сказать этим куратор. И если сейчас прибыл специальный шифр, то это почти наверняка означает, что они смогли прочесть

"I'm busy at the moment," Fache radioed back, leaving no doubt in his tone that a line had been crossed. "Ask the cryptographer to wait at the command post. I'll speak to him when I'm done.""Her," the voice corrected. "It's Agent Neveu."— Я занят, — бросил Фаш в трубку, всем тоном давая понять, что не в восторге от этого звонка. — Попроси криптографа подождать на командном посту. Поговорю с ним, как только освобожусь.— С ней, — поправил его голос на том конце линии. — Это агент Неве.
Fache was becoming less amused with this call every passing moment. Sophie Neveu was one of DCPJ's biggest mistakes. A young Parisian dechiffreuse who had studied cryptography in England at the Royal Holloway, Sophie Neveu had been foisted on Fache two years ago as part of the ministry's attempt to incorporate more women into the police force. The ministry's ongoing foray into political correctness, Fache argued, was weakening the department. Women not only lacked the physicality necessary for police work, but their mere presence posed a dangerous distraction to the men in the field. As Fache had feared, Sophie Neveu was proving far more distracting than most.
