At night, the city police found Kyle's lifeless body. He was lying on the stairs right near the entrance to the house where Hermit lived. The autopsy revealed that the victim had been shot twice in the back with a rifle; one bullet went through and lodged in one of the steps, while the second hit his heart.
Investigators also said that the dead body had been thoroughly searched, which seemed rather strange – Kyle was not particularly wealthy, judging by his clothes.
The search - blocking/checking status.
Clothing - belonged to the Poor.
