He renewed his acquaintance with Schmall when he came over this time with Delkin met him accidentally, and got going it with him again and they both resumed dealings with Van Koon who, I may say, was wanted by Chilverton on a quite different charge.
Being disturbed in this providential manner, Ling opened his eyes, and faintly murmuring, "Oh, sainted and adorable Koon Yam, Goddess of Charity, intercede for me with Buddha!" he again lost possession of himself in the Middle Air.
"No," remarked Van Koon. "I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Allerdyke before. But I'm out a great deal I don't spend much time indoors this fine weather. You gentlemen know your London well I don't, and I'm putting in all the time I can to cultivate her acquaintance."
Fullaway insisted I should join, in his rooms, and at which Van Koon, who had been playing a bluff game, was present, there was enough said to convince me that Van Koon and his associates would take alarm and be off with what they believed themselves to possess the jewels in that parcel. So then Mr. Rayner and I determined on big measures. And they were risky ones for me.
Van Koon and ask about it, but I decided that I wouldn't; I thought I would wait until Mr. Fullaway returned. But all the time I was wondering what parcel it could be that was sent from Hull, and certainly dispatched from there on the very evening before Mr. Fullaway's hurried journey. "Nothing happened until Mr. Fullaway came back. Then a lot of things happened all at once.
And thereupon, Fullaway, not to be repressed, burst out with another exclamation. "My God, Chilverton!" he cried. "There is Van Koon! And, by all that's wonderful, Merrifield with him. Now what " The New York detective, who was under no orders, and knew no reason why he should restrain himself, wasted no time in words.
It was undoubtedly Schmall who took Lisette Beaurepaire to that hotel in Paddington and poisoned her; it was just as undoubtedly Schmall who took Ebers to the hotel in London Docks and got rid of him. But, I tell you, Merrifield swears that neither he nor Van Koon knew of these things, and did not connive at them." "Did they know of them afterwards?" asked Fullaway. "Ah!" replied the chief.
As the three men threaded their way through the crowded Strand and approached the Hotel Cecil, Fullaway suddenly drew their attention to a private automobile which was turning in at the entrance to the courtyard. "There's Delkin, in his car," he exclaimed, "and, great Scott, there's our Princess with him Nastirsevitch! But who's the other man? Looks like a compatriot of ours, Van Koon, eh?"
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.
It doesn't matter to you, or to the Princess, or to Miss Lennard, who gets the reward so long as the criminals are brought to justice and the goods found eh? And you know fifty thousand is what it is." "You've got an idea?" asked Allerdyke, regarding his questioner steadily. "Frankly, yes an idea a notion," answered Fullaway. "Van Koon and I have been discussing the whole affair just now.
