“I have found very little,” the detective replied.
“Will you help us?”
“Certainly.”
“My mind is relieved. I hope you’ll take full charge of the case.”
“What about headquarters?”
“I will take care of that. While you have charge, the people at headquarters will not interfere.”
“Have you sent out an alarm?”
“Yes.”
“Let us go up to the attic room. Request your men to keep every one downstairs.”
“I will do that.”
