This is what happens when Gauss's Law meets film noir. The detective just applied the mathematical equivalent of "we've got you surrounded" by measuring the electric flux through a closed surface. In electrodynamics, Gauss's Law states that the total electric flux through any closed surface equals the enclosed charge divided by a constant. So our gangster friend was literally caught in a mathematical trap - his charge couldn't escape detection once the surface integral was calculated. Next time he should consider a career in superconductivity where at least his flux would be expelled.
