A look of chagrin rested upon his face as his eyes wandered around the room.
The furniture belonging to the room of the building was not disturbed.
The floor was strewn with rubbish.
After the detective recovered from his surprise he commenced to make a search of the apartment. He rooted among the scraps of paper on the floor in the hope that he would find something of value.
He made no discovery.
Every bureau drawer was gone through.
Nothing.
At last Carter made a search of the two closets.
Result?
Nothing.
