“I guess that, as usual, you are right,” replied the inspector.
“Look! they have seen you from the window and have disappeared,” cried Nick suddenly.
“Let’s follow them,” said the inspector excitedly.
“No, don’t do it; leave that to me,” said Nick, as he left the room.
Going downstairs, he called to a man who had been waiting for him in the hall. Whispering a few words into the man’s ear, he nodded in the direction that the men had taken.
The man left the building on the mission which Nick had given him.
Nick went upstairs to the room where he had left the inspector.
“It is all right,” he said. “I have sent one of my men after them, and he will find out where they go.”
“Well, what do you want to do now, Nick?” asked the inspector.
“The first thing will be to go to the morgue and see those bodies, and, if you have no objection, I will bring a young surgeon with me. He is a very clever chap, and one who can be depended upon to keep his mouth shut. I hope that there will be no objection to his coming?”
