"I won't tell you that," said Tung-yu politely, "I have told enough."
"Well, then," said Rupert, "when the picture is visible what happens?"
"It will show a hiding place which contains certain things we want to get, in order to ruin Lo-Keong with the Empress."
"Oh, I see, a plan of a secret hiding-place."
"Now you know," said Tung-yu to Clarence, "tell me----"
"Not till I know of the smoke."
"I refuse. But I give you fifteen thousand to get that fan. One thousand now if you tell me who killed the woman and who has it."
"Good," said Clarence, "I'll trade. Dr. Forge strangled Miss Wharf."
"Ah," said Tung-yu leaping up, "he has the fan. Thanks Kwang-ho," and he bowed to the half-destroyed image.
