66. The memory card

When Peter returns with a metal detector, Detective Smith passes it slowly over the surface of the picture. Precisely when she runs it over the person who looks like Turner, the detector makes a light “peep” sound.

Laura: There’s no doubt there is something here. Do you have a knife?

Peter: Of course. I have my penknife.

Laura: Lend it to me a moment.

Peter: Sure, here.

Laura: Now slowly, I’m going to try to take out whatever is in here…

Peter: Careful, you could break it...

Laura: Got it!

Peter: What is it?

Laura: It’s a… Memory card! And I bet you fifty quid that all of the evidence we need is on it.
