- Dupin knows that the minister is a smart man. He will likely presume that the police will look in common hiding places. Therefore, he hides the letter in plain sight.
- Dupin uses his cleverness to arrange a time when he can steal the letter from the Minister. Using a diversion outside the window he snags and replaces the letter with a fake.
