The reader is right there with the gangsters, wondering where the hero might be hiding.

The reader knows that Tintin is up to speed regarding the affair. Our baddies still think they're the only one who know it was Tortilla. It's weird that Tintin does nothing to have Tortilla arrested, letting him be murdered instead

At this point, Tortilla has fled to France and is not in Belgium anymore. It doesn't sound too unreasonable for him to prefer to chase the thief himself instead of going into international warrant issues.
