Yada told a strange tale and all the stranger because, as the police officials who were called in to hear it anew recognized that there was probably some truth in it. It amounted, when all was heard, to this Yada was willing to confess that for a few days he had been a successful thief, but he stoutly denied that he was a murderer.
And while he laughed Melky went through his prisoner's pockets in a knowing and skilful fashion, and when he had found what he expected to find, he made his helpers lock Yada up again, and taking them downstairs to the parlour laid his discoveries on the table before them and Zillah.
Chang Li has disappeared!" "You suspect Chang Li?" asked Yada. "I do," exclaimed Ayscough. "A Chinaman a diamond worth every penny of eighty thousand pounds Ah!" He suddenly lifted his eyes to Yada with a quick enquiry. "How much do you know of these two?" he asked. "Little beyond the fact that they were fellow-students of mine," answered Yada.
Yada knew that it was highly necessary that Chang Li should be in attendance at certain classes at the medical school during the next few days, and tried to rouse him out of his debauch, with no result. Next day, the 19th, he went to Pilmansey's again Chang Li was still in the realms of bliss and likely to stop there until he had had enough of them.
Knifed! in the throat." The reiteration of the word murdered appeared to yield the detective some sort of satisfaction but it apparently made no particular impression on the Japanese. Again he rapped out one word. "Where?" "His body was found in the garden of the house they rented in Maida Vale," replied Ayscough. "Molteno Lodge. No doubt you've visited them there, Mr. Yada?"
This was the course recommended by the Japanese Consul-General Yada at New York. Private pressure was brought on the Japanese authorities, and the preparation of a report was begun in very leisurely fashion. Every influence that Mr. Gulick possessed was exercised to prevent premature publicity.
Naturally they felt remarkably grateful to Melky Rubinstein for his astuteness in circumventing Yada at what might have been the last moment. And one day, at that portion of it when business was slack and everybody was feeling comfortable after dinner, Melky called on Mrs.
Quick, I say! if you want to be after him!" "Hanged if I know what this means!" muttered Ayscough. "As to who he is if he's the fellow I gave a card to, he's a young Japanese medical student, one Yada, that was a friend of those Chinese I called on him tonight, with Rubinstein, to see if we could pick up a bit of information. Of course, I sent in my professional card to him.
Yada, seen clearly in the moonlight which flooded that side of the street, came out of the door which they had left a few minutes earlier. His smart suit of grey tweed had disappeared under a heavy fur-collared overcoat; a black bowler hat surmounted his somewhat pallid face. He looked neither to right nor left, but walked swiftly up the street in the direction of the Euston Road.
Parslett pocketed the money and accepted the invitation and Yada, from his hiding-place, saw Chen Li go to the sideboard, mix whisky and soda and pour into the mixture a few drops from a phial which he took from his waistcoat pocket. Parslett drank off the contents of the glass and Chen Li went down to the gate with him. Yada followed to the front door and, through a slight opening, watched.
