Weak research
The jewel in this tale is seen two or three times and looks like very pale jade or maybe a milky glass prop. But we are told that it is a sapphire, which would look black in a B/W film.
The jewel is said to have belonged to the "Emperor Chong Chung Chu." But of course there was no such Emperor of China. How hard would it have been to have given a real name?
There are several blocking problems with the identity of the murderer but telling of those would give away the identity and no one wants a spoiler.
Sit back and enjoy this simple tale of theft and murder.

Solid Assition to Series...
Really enjoyed this second in the Mr Wong series. Number one was good, but this mystery kept me guessing until the end. A solid whodunit.

Delightful Little Mystery
Before i even decided to watch the first movie in the series ('Mr Wong, Detective') i did a little research and discovered that the first movie is considered the best in the series but i must say after watching 'The Mystery of Mr Wong' i was pleasantly surprised, not only was it not as bad as had been implied by various movie guides but i thought it was far superior to its predecessor. It was a delightful little mystery that had me guessing to the last minute.
