What I am suggesting, and have been suggesting this last three days, is that Delkin should be asked a plain and simple question, which is this did he ever tell anybody of this proposed deal? If so whom did he tell? And if that isn't business," concluded Van Koon, "then I don't know business when I see it!" "What's your objection?" asked Allerdyke, looking across at Fullaway.
Fullaway, that this dead man upstairs is the man you knew as Ebers, a valet at your hotel?" "None!" answered Fullaway emphatically. "None whatever. Lots of people will be able to identify him." "That's good, at any rate," remarked the chief. "It's a long step towards something. Well, I must go."
This arrived from Hull half an hour ago, and the chief thought I'd better bring it on to you at once. You see what it is " He held the telegram out to both men, and they read it together, Fullaway muttering the words as he read From Chief Constable, Hull, to Superintendent C.I.D., New Scotland Yard. Dr.
Marlow, alias Miss Slade, doing in his rooms last night when he was out?" He was exercising his brains over a possible solution of this problem when Fullaway suddenly appeared in the hall behind him, accompanied by a man whom Allerdyke at once took to be the very individual about whom he was speculating.
"Well," he went on, throwing himself into his chair again, "what's to be done? Do you honestly think that he had those things on him when he came here last night? You do? Very well, then, he's been murdered by some devil or devils who's got 'em! But how? And who are they or who's he or good Lord! it might be who's she?" "Poisoned," said Fullaway. "That's my answer to your question of how?
Should he tell him now now that there seemed to be evidence that Van Koon himself was a doubtful character? He hesitated and while he hesitated Fullaway strode on, flung open his office door, turned to the letter-box at the back, and took out some letters and a telegram. He tore the telegram open, and the next instant flung it on the table with a fierce exclamation.
Allerdyke, there's one thing very certain so far as we've ascertained at present, nobody but Fullaway, and possibly whoever's in his employ, was acquainted with the fact that your cousin was carrying those jewels from Russia to England. Nobody in this country, at any rate. And it's a thing of serious importance, sir."
And if you two gentlemen will go through the formality of signing receipts for them, you, Mr. Fullaway, can take her parcel to the Princess, and you, Mr. Allerdyke, can carry hers to Miss Lennard.
And if I behave handsomely, and go with Weiss there, to fulfil this engagement, it'll only be on condition that you stop here, Fullaway, and do your level best to get me my jewels back. I've done all I can I've told the manager there, and I've told those two policemen, and not a man of them seems able to suggest anything! Perhaps you can."
You hear, then she will not come to sing because her jewels are missing, eh? She " "What hotel is Mademoiselle de Longarde stopping at, Weiss?" asked Fullaway quietly. "The North British and Caledonian I go there just now!" answered Weiss. "I am ruined if she will not appear ruined, disgraced! Jewels! Ah !" "Come on we're going with you," said Fullaway. "Quick now!"
