FU MANC'Hl’—The Code Reveah—The Beginning of the TbsIL BY SAX KOHMEB
. __ -
kl_
The fact that the Lascar's body had been found
near the Joy Shop, scene of an encounter with Fu
Manchu. may have beeu only a coincidence, but it
furnished a startling lead. I kx i n eagerly to question
* '"t officer. i
“At high tide last flight,” the officer explained. I
“Hewson. returning with the ten o’clock boat, noticed
the moonlight glittering upon the knife. He investi
gated and found the incoming tide had jammed the
body right up under a crossbeam amongst the piles."
The knife to which the Inspector referred possess
ed a long, curved blade. The dead man still clutched
the hilt of the weapon. But his hand had been twist
ed under his body so that I had to turn him over to
see it.
The knife was of a kind with which I had been ter
ribly familiar in the past.
“You see the mark. Petne?" snapped Smith.
1 nodded. The dead man upon the table was a Bur
mese dacoit, one of Fu Manchu's henchmen.
