Sherrinford and Xavier begun analyzing the words. They first come with this conclusion;

"Begun my friend emperor to the Temeraire ! Start running! Before the end of fighting !"

Sherrinford felt like the words are wrong and begun telling Xavier that his analysis are wrong. They both had an argument until Sherrinford pulled out the hidden code;

"Begun! My dear friend emperor! Start running to the Fighting Temeraire before the end!"

Xavier asked Sherrinford about the "fighting temeraire" and Sherrinford gave him an obvious answer;

"Well obviously it's a painting made by Joseph turner. And the painting, as far as I'm aware, is under some nobles. Who bought it after his death in 1851"

Xavier, asked if Sherrinford had any idea where the painting could be, and to Xavier's surprise, it's on Jonathan's mansion.

Immediately after the puzzling And analyzing, Sherrinford and Xavier quickly rush towards Jonathan and asked if he had acquire the painting. To which Jonathan replied

"Oh my dear brother, have you forgotten that it was a gift to our father after his battle in Afghanistan? He has no interest in paintings so he gave it to the both of us. How can you forget?"

Sherrinford immediately asked the painting's wearabouts and Jonathan told them, again;

"Well Andy Ramirez bought it for almost 500 pounds. I couldn't refuse such sum of money! I don't know how important the painting is, but it is remarkable nonetheless."

Sherrinford, got a clue on who's the murder actually be. He then told Xavier to bring in some charcoals and buckets of water, along side 10 officers that is currently under patrol at midnight.

While Xavier is recruiting 10 officers, Sherrinford gone outside to get some fresh air.

While Sherrinford is smoking with his cigarette, an unknown woman suddenly appear. She walked besides Sherrinford and asked if his job as someone that's a sidekick of a yard inspector is hard enough, as to he reply;

"I'm doing well, Harley. I do not intend to work under the government, I do not like being pressured like a chief inspector. And I don't like being a lawyer. Even if father told me to become his pawn, I will refuse."

The girl, smiles and replied "you know how concern your father was, roaming around making a name for yourself under Scotland yard management. He wants you to strive further to the point that you'll be facing the queen itself. To get information from her and orders."

Sherrinford throws the cigarette's butt and step on it. He then menacingly told the lady; "I do not need those kinds of credibility. I am freely to do whatever I want and I will make a living out of it. Like it or not, the curtain already rises."

Sherrinford left and the lady was left alone. She then sighs and whisper
"You really are arrogant when it comes to this one, Sherry"

Sherrinford then told Xavier to make the 5 of 10 man to wear civilian clothes and come with them towards Andy's house.

From a distant place, a man smiles and looked at the duo with enthusiasm. He screamed;

"The curtain rises! All of the actors are now engaging towards the climax! What a cinematic view for us!"
