Listening to it this way does make it sound simple, but resolving a matter that originally lacked any leads, something originally extraordinarily complex, with such a straightforward approach is no simple task.

He didn’t behave as though he’d been locked in prison long enough to lose contact with the outside world. In other words, it’s possible that he merely has nowhere to go, rather than being prevented from leaving.
