Леди Дюмон переезжает из своей квартиры на улице Дюрантин, 102, на улицу Пикпюс. Когда она открывает шкаф, который принесли грузчики, выпадает труп женщины. Расследование в тупике. Инспектор Амадье, некомпетентен, должен уступить место комиссару Мегрэ, который инкогнито отдыхал в кампании под псевдонимом М. Альберт. Мегрэ начинает с допроса жильцов улицы Дюрантин; нуждающийся романист Арно де Бедарье встретился с жертвой незадолго до совершения преступления. В здании напротив, старик также, похоже, был свидетелем убийства, но... он слепой, и его тоже убили. Тайна сгущается с появлением некоего Маскувина, который случайно обнаружил в кафе на Монмартре следующую надпись, повторенную в прессе: «Сегодня, в 6 часов утра, я убью гадалку. Подпись Пикпюс.» Преступление происходит на самом деле, до 18 ч 05.
