"I am just coming to that," Archenfield said. "Please bear in mind the fact that I have seen Flint in earnest conversation with those two Chinamen more than once, and they always appeared to be quarrelling. Flint returned to his own flat at the top of a high block of buildings with a balcony in front of it--don't forget the balcony--and in the morning he was found dead in his sitting-room, having been murdered. Now, on the previous evening, quite late, I myself saw Flint engaged in a violent quarrel with two Chinamen. After they parted Flint went alone to his flat. Up to 1 o'clock in the morning nobody had visited him, because a servant of mine, who was doing a bit of shadowing for me, told me so. It so happens that that servant I speak of is a Chinaman too."
"Yes, I know your Chinese servant," Cole said.
