When the coroner\u2019s office reveals that the coroner recently quit and Arnold\u2019s file is missing, Ryan\u2019s suspicions grow.Digging deeper, Ryan visits his late father\u2019s company, now under his leadership. There, he notices missing figurines from Arnold\u2019s office \u2014 items his father treasured.<\/p>\n

A chat with the family lawyer hints at a romantic relationship between Arnold and his new secretary, Miss Pearson.Tracking Miss Pearson, Ryan breaks into her house and finds a $7 million life insurance policy naming her as the sole beneficiary. He turns the evidence over to police, but Miss Pearson vanishes before they can apprehend her.<\/p>\n

Certain Arnold is alive, Ryan sets a trap. He purchases the missing figurine from a rare collector, then anonymously lists it at auction, knowing it would lure Arnold.
