Finding the Case File is one of the two mandatory mission objectives. You can acquire them before or after you murder Alexa. The method doesn't matter, although the game won't let you leave the area until you get them.
There are 3 ways to obtain Arthur Edwards's files. To complete the mission, you must choose one of them.
Option 1 - Finding the file in Alexa's secret safe

This option may be faster, but it require infiltrating a more heavily guarded location. It is advisable to use a security guard outfit to help you reach the objective.
You have to reach Alexa Carlisle's Office located on level 2 of the mansion (point 37 on the map).

This option may be more time-consuming, but that way, you don't have to get to the heavily guarded second level of the building. This method requires obtaining two tokens that will automatically ( without additional action) be used to open a safe with files on Arthur Edwards.

If you don't want to be detected, use the rat poison. You may have to distract the guard in that room. After Rebecca drinks the poison, she will go to the restroom, where you can attack her easily. Find the token she left on the ground.
