"Are you transacting business down here?"
"Don't you know?"
"I do not."
"In that case, it's best to keep you ignorant."
"That's right, don't tell him a thing," came from one of the men who had first caught the detective.
"I want to know why you followed me up?" continued Matlock Styles.
"You'll find it to your interest to answer me."
"I might answer as you have done and say it is best to keep you in ignorance. But I won't do it. I followed you up because I think you were connected with the Langmore murders."
At this Matlock Styles started, but quickly recovered.
"What made you think that?"
"Certain things I discovered around the mansion."
