The character that serves as the inspiration for many a famous detectives to come, like the most iconic Sherlock Holmes himself. And the inspirations are clear, even to the choice of narrator.

I think this was like the first detective story ever written?

Anyway...the story is about a guy called C. Auguste Dupin  who's in Paris and solves the mystery behind the brutal murder of two women. The witnesses heard a suspect, but nobody agrees on what language was spoken. 

At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.

The ending was surprising and I liked this one. 🕵️‍♂️
