The room has been ransacked, and it's clear that the killer was looking for something specific. As they begin to investigate, they discover that Robert was a successful businessman with many enemies. His wife, Laura, had been cheating on him with his business partner, Warren, and the couple was in the process of a messy divorce.
Further investigation uncovers a possible motive for Robert's murder. He was in the process of closing a deal with a Japanese company.

As they investigate, they discover that Laura and Warren had been conspiring together to cheat Robert out of his share of the company. It emerges that Warren was actually the one who killed Robert, not Laura, as initially suspected. He did it because he was angry about the Japanese deal, and he believed that Robert was going to force him to work with the new company.
