"He ran." Edward Stephens' face was dark, his expression grim. "I looked for him two hours ago and found a strand of Daisy Ginger's hair in his lounge. Although I took it without his knowledge, I'm afraid he already realized I'm onto him."
The deputy chief paused, seeing Edward Stephens' somewhat dejected look, patted his shoulder, and reassured him, "You've already done very well."
The team he brought had quickly sealed off the office and found a large number of Daisy Ginger's fingerprints in the lounge. They even discovered her dried blood on the sheets.
Edward Stephens' unexpected arrival left Ian Linton with little time to deal with these traces; we can say the evidence is conclusive.
On the floor of the lounge, they found a rudimentary lift leading directly to the basement parking lot.
When Edward Stephens arrived at Ian Linton's office, Daisy Ginger might have already been hidden in the parking lot by him.
