So it sort of did make sense that two men from that area might agree to carry out a hit for money.

But what didn't make sense to Frizon or Massinio was how Sameen Saeed Ahmed or Al-Hayr Hamadi could possibly be connected to anybody in Helene's life.

The Pastors and their inner circle were some of the richest people in the world.

If any of them were planning a hit, Frison would have expected them to hire more experienced and professional assassins.

So now Frison wondered if maybe they needed to take a closer look into other areas of Helene's life, like maybe her tenants.

to see if anyone had obvious connections to Marseille.

He knew from speaking with Helene's friends that she often handled many of her tenants personally, and so it was possible that maybe there was a feud or dispute that they just didn't know about.

However, thousands of people lived in Helene's buildings.

Going through that list would be nearly impossible, which was why Frison and Massinio had decided that the best way to approach this whole thing was with a method Frison called the fishing rod.

Instead of arresting the shooters, Samin and Al-Hayr, they would watch them.

and keep their phones tapped and see if they led police to whoever hired them.

However, while they were figuring all this out, Frison's phone suddenly rang.

And when he answered it, he got very unexpected news.

It was the hospital.

Helene had woken up from her coma.

And so first thing the next morning, Frison sent Messinio to the hospital to interview Helene.

And then after sending her out, Frison waited anxiously at the station for her to return.

He was hoping that Helene could simply tell Messinio who wanted her dead, and then they could just close the case.

Easy.

But when Messinio came back that afternoon, she did not have good news.
