The detective put two and two together and at once concluded that the man who had been watching him during the afternoon was the foe of the so-called Argetti. This man had been watching our hero because he believed he was in communication with Argetti, or the individual whom the so-called Argetti represented.
The detective meditated and finally said:
"I must see Argetti."
"You fully comprehend what I have said?"
"I do."
"You know there is risk?"
"I do."
"You know that I have advised you in all sincerity?"
"Yes."
"Do you really go alone to meet Argetti?"
