CASH & CREDIT 32

The search of the house in the Town proved entirely negative as regards new information. Other than the surveillance that had confirmed the delivery of the package, there was nothing there whatsoever to connect the people who lived in the house to the fraud that they found themselves caught up in.

As for the first courier - only the surveillance of the deposit box and the houses could link him fairly and squarely to the fraud. In both cases, the only proof was surveillance, nothing else of value had been discovered. The interviews could possibly yield more fruit, provided there was any more to be had. The Chief thought it unlikely.

The second courier had been caught in his underpants at the hotel, but he was alone, and he had nothing incriminating in his possession. Every guest and member of staff at the hotel was thoroughly checked out, but no one there seemed of dubious origin or identity, though checks would necessarily continue for some time.
