The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Case of the Golden Bullet by Grace Isabel Colbron and Augusta Groner: at the Hotel Imperial. The detective went at once to the Hotel
Imperial, where he was already well known. It cost him little time
and trouble to discover what he wished to know, the reason for the
Councillor's visit to the capital.
Kniepp had asked for the address of a goldsmith, and had been
directed to one of the shops which had the best reputation in the
city. He had been in the capital altogether for about twenty-four
hours. He had the manner and appearance of a man suffering under
some terrible blow.
Muller himself was deep in thought as he entered the train to
return to his home, after a visit to the goldsmith in question.
