Picking up the miniature samurai sword, I quickly examined the blade. Hmm, I hummed, "Made in China."

Hmmm, I hummed once more. "What's this, erm, trace of blood?"

"Not blood", said the blonde, who had come to and was woozily attempting to sit up. "Tomato juice; it's a long story".

I sat down by her side. "Okay Doll, spill the beans, the whole story, from beginning to end, no messing me about, time is money you know."

"I understand your rate is $300 a day, plus expenses" she said without batting an eyelash. Well, well, the dame had done her homework.

She handed over a brown envelope with the cash and a photo of her. As I looked back at her, she said, "That photo was on my doorstep this morning, and it's exactly what I was wearing the day of the Mystery Contest."

I waited for her to go on. "Do you think I look better in purple?", she asked me a little anxiously.

She seemed a little reassured at that and gave me a tremulous smile. Then she said: "So, what are you going to do about the gibbon?".

"What gibbon was that?"
The lady looked at me, raising her eyebrows. |

She stuttered for a moment, stumbling over her words, then pointed.
"That gibbon!" |
