It gave enough illumination to Tom so he could start his investigation and collect evidence for the crime.
Tom hung the lantern in his hand and walked inside the main lobby, which was filled with several boxes. They were scattered randomed, and the smell was coming from one of those boxes.
Reluctantly, he checked the boxes and noticed that the criminal was hiding under one of them. It was a pre-planned, well-executed strategy to kill Nexus. When the victim entered the crime scene, the murderer attacked him in surprise, with the instinct of killing the victim.
Tom took out a bag and put a few items from the box inside the bag for forensic study through magic. It would surely help in finding more clues about the case.
The evidence he collected could be enough, but he went ahead inside the building to find more clues in the case. Anything over eyed could be dangerous and as sensitive as this case was, he cannot leave the option of mistakes.
