Cuprins

The Morning of the Monkey
Judge Dee saw that the gibbon was watching him
'I am not yet through with you, Mr. Leng!'
'It's a very private matter,' Tao Gan said
'Well,' she said, 'I have done nothing wrong'
 
The Night of the Tiger
Judge Dee caught the spear on his sword
He pulled the silk strings in succession
Suddenly the judge had the feeling that he was not alone
'I grabbed her and shouted at her to stop...'
