Lange appeared very restrained as he greeted Vergniaud and introduced himself before handing over a letter to the chief justice.
After confirming that the seal on the envelope was intact, Vergniaud slowly opened it, casually inquiring about the situation on Valjean's end.
The Police Affairs Department already had a clear grasp of these matters, so Lange naturally flowed with his responses.
Only then did Vergniaud take out his glasses to start reading the letter.
In the letter, Valjean began by recalling some past events between the two and then mentioned that Lange, who brought this letter, was his most loyal servant and could be fully trusted.
It had been three or four years since Vergniaud had last seen Valjean, but he vaguely remembered a servant named Lange at his good friend's side.
He continued reading further.
