Wa Lane and Cheung Hing Street. But during the whole of the
exhaustive enquiries that have been made into the history of

houses than the ones opened by Sam Yin's employers and their
partner Lam Chi, and I can asseverate that none of the Chi-
nese Detectives ever took any steps to bring the existence
of those houses to my notice,or to otherwise disturb them
in any way.

Is that knowledge_compatible with an absolute
ignorance of Sam Yin (who identified him) and the gambling
house
