Chapter 9 - Uncovering A Hidden Compartment Inside The Master Closet
While Officer Davis took Lily into the living room to record her official statement, Daniel guided Officer Miller upstairs.
“My wife hid financial records and stolen heirlooms somewhere in the master bedroom,” Daniel explained, opening the double doors.
They began searching the suite, checking drawers, nightstands, and the walk-in closet for any concealed storage.
Daniel noticed a slight gap behind the built-in wooden shoe rack against the far wall of the master closet.
He pulled the shoe shelves forward on their sliding tracks, revealing a secret wall cutout concealed behind drywall.
Inside the cavity sat a heavy steel lockbox and a stack of legal documents tied with a red ribbon.

“Looks like you found her secret vault, Mr. Vance,” Officer Miller remarked, shining his flashlight into the dark recess.
Daniel reached in, pulled out the heavy lockbox, and set it down on the plush carpet between them.
