65. The secret in the painting

When they arrive at the police station, Detective Smith and Peter run to her office. Laura looks at the painting.

 

Peter: What are you looking for?

Laura: I’m sure there is something else here that we haven’t noticed.

Peter: What do you think it is?

Laura: I don’t know… A clue… A detail… Someone we haven’t yet seen.

Peter: What do you hope to find? Turner receiving a bribe in the middle of the picture?

Laura: Well that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Is that him?

Peter: Yes, he isn’t receiving a bribe. He’s just standing…

Laura: Looking at everything. Do you see anything strange about his clothes? As if he has something in his pocket? He stands out differently from the rest of the people.

Peter: Do you think there could be something under the painting?

Laura: Let’s see. I need a metal detector!
