In this chapter, we learn that the thief was wearing a black hat and a black suit, and that he was waiting for the family at the hotel. The thief tells us that the money was still inside his suitcase at the time he opened it, but that he didn't open it until after the family had paid for their stay. He also says that he doesn't remember the man next to him at that time. It seems that the man was standing at the reception of the hotel without talking to anyone, and then he went into the lobby. He was very strange, the thief says, and he didn "think much of it." The thief asks the man why he is following him, and the man responds that he has been sneaking around the hotel and has just arrived at the Lu family's house. The man asks the thief if he has stolen the money, and when the thief replies that he does not, the man asks if the thief is going to do anything with the money. When the thief tells him that half of the people in the world are as strong as he is, and half as weak as the thief, the young man asks him if he is from the same family as him. The young man says that they do not know each other, but he does know the man's name, and they both look like each other.
