"By the way, Inspector, this is a happy meeting. I was thinking of calling you up. Just how do you plan to spend the evening?"
"I attend Rotary club banquet in this hotel," Chan explained.
"Good. You'll be here some time?"
Chan nodded. "I fear so. It happens very few after-dinner speeches are equipped with self-stopper."
