Speaker 8: Ye, Well, the story of the Gong begins in Shanghai.
Speaker 8: Bob and I went there, you know, on our honeymoon.
Speaker 8: It was almost ten years ago.
Speaker 3: We were very young and very much in love.
Speaker 8: Now stay in China would have been simply perfect if
Speaker 8: it hadn't been for a certain man who decided.
Speaker 3: That he was in love with me. We'd met him
Speaker 3: on the boat.
Speaker 7: His name was Count Renkoff.
Speaker 5: But Count don't interrupt.
Speaker 8: Well, the Count's attentions to me became more and more insistent,
Speaker 8: until finally Bob decided to take matters into his own hands.
Speaker 8: One night, without my knowing anything about it, Bob went
Speaker 8: to see Renecroft to demand that he stopped annoying me.
Speaker 8: The Count was staying at the same hotel we were.
Speaker 2: Yes, please, just can't running off him?
Speaker 5: What name?
Speaker 4: Please?

Speaker 2: to endure you.
Speaker 1: Now that we're in Shanghai, we want you to leave

Speaker 1: your expert continental love making. Why not give it to them?
Speaker 1: You are insulting and you're annoying. I've been as patient
Speaker 1: with you as I could possibly be. I thought an
Speaker 1: old man like you to have more sense.
Speaker 5: I sure not you it all.

Speaker 1: will tell you annoying my wife again, and I'll hit

Speaker 1: Heart report and be hanged. But I'm warning you for
Speaker 1: the last time. Stay away from me and stay away
Speaker 1: from my wife.
Speaker 8: Is that you, Bob?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you
Speaker 3: for hours?
Speaker 2: Sorry, dear, I had some business to attend to. Ah.
Speaker 3: You didn't go to him?
Speaker 2: Well, oh Bob, you didn't, Yes, I did. I've stood all.
Speaker 2: I'm going to stand from that hand kissing four plusure.
Speaker 8: What did you do?
Speaker 1: I told him to leave us alone from now on?
Speaker 1: Oh Bob, you didn't, certainly I did.

Speaker 3: Me, please?
Speaker 1: But but why I have here while for yours you
Speaker 1: are charged with the murder of cat Nicholas Renika. There's
Speaker 1: something I can do, I'm afraid not, missus Wilton.
Speaker 2: All we can do is.
Speaker 3: Wait, own bob, and that's filthy. Sellah, I can't burn him.
Speaker 10: Please trying to control yourself, Missus Wilton, you make it
Speaker 10: very difficult.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 10: As you're a lawyer, I assure you won't have done

Speaker 3: But Bob didn't kill any corse.
Speaker 1: I know he didn't.
Speaker 10: Of course he didn't, Missus Wilton. But I assure you
Speaker 10: there's nothing further I can do.
Speaker 2: We can only wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3: I'm going cueenly waiting day out to day in the
Speaker 3: hotel room.
Speaker 4: I tell you I can't say any more.
Speaker 3: Why would they believe Bob? He didn't kill that man?

Speaker 10: Unfortunately, Missus Wilton, the evidence in the case indicates otherwise.
Speaker 10: What now, Please understand me. I'm not saying that I
Speaker 10: believe the evidence, but there it is, and it's quite
Speaker 10: damning to say the least. Your husband was overheard quarreling
Speaker 10: with Count Rennakoff. He threatened the man with bodily harm
Speaker 10: unless he ceased his might. I say, unwelcome attentions to you, But.
Speaker 3: They didn't prove anything.
Speaker 10: No, perhaps not for a few hours later, Count Rennikoff
Speaker 10: was found murdered, a knife in his back along that
Speaker 10: life for the fingerprints of your husband.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I assure you.
Speaker 10: I'm telling you the facts, mister Wilton. Your husband's fingerprints
Speaker 10: were right there on the handle of the dagger.
Speaker 2: I saw them there myself.
Speaker 3: But that's impossible.
Speaker 10: Quite and yet it's the very evidence that will put
Speaker 10: of noose around his neck.
Speaker 8: Oh no, sorry, wait, it's best to face it now.
Speaker 8: I know Bob will hang him as we do something.
Speaker 2: I know you will.
Speaker 10: Those fingerprints on the dagger, I'll tell you, it's almost
Speaker 10: as if some power of evil had put them there,
Speaker 10: as if some supernatural Why missus Wilton, what's the matter?
Speaker 4: I I just relive what speak up?
Speaker 2: Child?
Speaker 3: But it was nothing at all.
Speaker 10: I say, you gave me a bad time for a
Speaker 10: moment there your face went. So why do I thought
Speaker 10: something goes wrong? I say, you had a pretty rocket time.
Speaker 2: I would, haven't you?
Speaker 10: Okay, my China, why don't you appeal to the American
Speaker 10: consul again?
Speaker 2: Perhaps he can do I.
Speaker 8: Just came from the consulate who he says, there's nothing
Speaker 8: you can do.
Speaker 10: Yes, I expected that. Count Running Compass, a very influential
Speaker 10: figure in Chinese nationalistic circles you issued, you know, if
Speaker 10: the American authority is trying to interfere, well, all sorts
Speaker 10: of international complications.
