Jekyll," cried Utterson, with a loud voice, "I demand to see you." He paused a moment, but there came no reply .

Do you think I do not know where his head comes to in the cabinet door, where I saw him every morning of my life? No, Sir, that thing in the mask was never Dr. Jekyll —God knows what it was, but it was never Dr. Jekyll; and it is the belief of my heart that there was murder done." What, what?

There were besides a few dark closets and a spacious cellar. All these they now thoroughly examined. Each closet needed but a glance, for all were empty, and all, by the dust that fell from their doors, had stood long unopened. The cellar, indeed, was filled with crazy lumber, mostly dating from the times of the surgeon who was Jekyll's predecessor; but even as they opened the door they were advertised of the uselessness of further search, by the fall of a perfect mat of cobweb which had for years sealed up the entrance. Nowhere was there any trace of Henry Jekyll, dead or alive. Enfield is depicted as being late out at night which could hint he is not content to live according to the strict moral code required of a Victorian gentleman MR.
