What is 'There was to be no suggestion yet that Scotland Yard were interested in the matter'? At Wickham they were welcomed by the local inspector, Rodgers; a thin, anxious individual who looked as though he slept badly. He was alert, however, and informative and full of forethought. He had even booked two rooms at the Swan in Salcott and two at the White Hart in Wickham, so that Grant could have his choice. He bore them off to lunch at the White Hart, where Grant confirmed the room-booking and caused the Salcott booking to be cancelled. There was to be no suggestion yet that Scotland Yard were interested in the matter of Leslie Searle's disappearance; and it was not possible to conduct inquiries from the Swan without creating a sensation in Salcott.(Chapter 8 To Love and Be Wise, http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks08/0800551h.html#ch08) Does it mean that Scotland Yard has not been interested in the matter of Leslie Searle's disappearance?

Yes, you got it right. It means that they have yet to show interest in her disappearance. But by using the word yet, it means that they could show interest in it in the future.
