Von Behrling has been murdered by some person who seems to have dropped from the skies.
Whoever they may be, they have in their possession my twenty thousand pounds and the packet which should have been mine.

I must trace them if I can, Louise.

It is a poor chance, but I must do my best.

I myself am of the opinion that Von Behrling was murdered for the money, and for the money only.

If so, that packet may be in the hands of people who have no idea what use to make of it.
They may even destroy it.
