The
sound
of
voices
echoed
down
the
marble
corridor
up
ahead
.
The
noise
seemed
to
be
coming
from
a
large
recessed
alcove
that
lay
ahead
on
the
right
.
A
bright
light
spilled
out
into
the
hallway
.
«
Office
of
the
curator
,
»
the
captain
said
.
As
he
and
Fache
drew
nearer
the
alcove
,
Langdon
peered
down
a
short
hallway
,
into
Saunière
s
luxurious
study
warm
wood
,
Old
Master
paintings
,
and
an
enormous
antique
desk
on
which
stood
a
two
-
foot
-
tall
model
of
a
knight
in
full
armor
.
A
handful
of
police
agents
bustled
about
the
room
,
talking
on
phones
and
taking
notes
.
One
of
them
was
seated
at
Saunière
s
desk
,
typing
into
a
laptop
.
Apparently
,
the
curator
s
private
office
had
become
DCPJ
s
makeshift
command
post
for
the
evening
.
252
«
Messieurs
,
»
Fache
called
out
,
and
the
men
turned
.
«
Ne
nous
dérangez
pas
sous
aucun
prétexte
.
Entendu
?
»
253
Everyone
inside
the
office
nodded
their
understanding
.

Langdon
had
hung
enough
NE
PAS
DERANGER
signs
on
hotel
room
doors
to
catch
the
gist
of
the
captain
s
orders
.
Fache
and
Langdon
were
not
to
be
disturbed
under
any
circumstances
.
255
Leaving
the
small
congregation
of
agents
behind
,
Fache
led
Langdon
farther
down
the
darkened
hallway
.
Thirty
yards
ahead
loomed
the
gateway
to
the
Louvre
s
most
popular
section
la
Grande
Galerie
a
seemingly
endless
corridor
that
housed
the
Louvre
s
most
valuable
Italian
masterpieces
.
Langdon
had
already
discerned
that
this
was
where
Saunière
s
body
lay
;
the
Grand
Gallery
s
famous
parquet
floor
had
been
unmistakable
in
the
Polaroid
.
256
As
they
approached
,
Langdon
saw
the
entrance
was
blocked
by
an
enormous
steel
grate
that
looked
like
something
used
by
medieval
castles
to
keep
out
marauding
armies
.
257
«
Containment
security
,
»
Fache
said
,
as
they
neared
the
grate
.

Even
in
the
darkness
,
the
barricade
looked
like
it
could
have
restrained
a
tank
.
Arriving
outside
,
Langdon
peered
through
the
bars
into
the
dimly
lit
caverns
of
the
Grand
Gallery
.
259
«
After
you
,
Mr
.
Langdon
,
»
Fache
said
.
Langdon
turned
.
After
me
,
where
?
Fache
motioned
toward
the
floor
at
the
base
of
the
grate
.
260
Langdon
looked
down
.
In
the
darkness
,
he
hadn
t
noticed
.
The
barricade
was
raised
about
two
feet
,
providing
an
awkward
clearance
underneath
.
