I met with inspector Jacob on reaching the old post office. He carried a puzzled look on his face.
'Jacob, what is it that you've found?' I said. He turned toward me and saluted. 'Sir, when I came here to the crime scene today for collecting any more potential evidences I found this.'
He handed me something which appeared to be a driving licence, it read.
UK Driving Licence
Female, 19
Name : Julia Emsworth
It had a photograph of a young 19 year girl, long blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin. I was shocked. I knew who she was, but finding her driving licence at the crime scene didn't make any sense.

She was Professor Emsworth's sister. I looked at Inspector Jacob before reaching out for my phone from my pocket. I called Professor Emsworth.
'Hello?' She picked up the call.
'Professor, I need to see you. Are you still at your office?'
'Yes, officer. What is it about?'
'I'll be there soon with inspector Jacob, we'll tell you all about it.'
'Okay.' She replied.

Inspector Jacob and I were seated opposite to Professor Emsworth in her office at the art gallery. On her desk between us laid her sister's licence. We had just informed her about it.
'Even her phone is out of reach! I don't understand a thing that's going on officer. I remember handing her this very same licence in the morning today before she headed to college, how did this licence reach there?' She said.
'Mam, we'll take care of whatever has been going on. From what I can understand, I think it's a case of kidnapping, maybe someone didn't like the fact that you were helping us in solving the murders and he kidnapped your sister. We've already contacted the college and they've confirmed with us that Julia isn't present there.' I said and looked toward Inspector Jacob.

'Inspector, any information about that guy, Davie Ruth?'
'No sir, nothing yet.' He replied.
I turned toward Professor Emsworth.
'Professor, could you help me with a photograph of this guy? I think he might have something to do with this kidnapping.'
'Unfortunately, there aren't any pictures available of him anywhere on the internet. I've tried to gather more information about him but that's all I could find.' Professor Emsworth said.

'We'll take your leave Professor, and get to solving the crime. Would you like us to drive you home?' I said to Professor Emsworth as I stood up. 'Thank you officer, but I'll drive myself. I've got my car parked in the garage.' She replied. I left her office with Inspector Jacob and we drove off. It seemed as if this case was finally going to get solved after over a month, after over a series of 5 murders.
