Then the Butler came in the room and discovered that Miss.Anna had been dead so he ran away and took a blanket to cover her body with it.

Butler Peter: "Poor Miss.Anna! She was such a happy and caring person. Hope she will find a good place on Heaven!"

Detective Billy: "There are no such thing like Heaven Butler! And if there are, she can only go to Hell because humans like us are too much of the pain in the ass to be welcomed in there"

Harold: "How could you say like that Detective? Another of your friends just died"

Detective Billy: "I have lived long enough to see my friends die over and over again. This is no different. I cannot let my mind being held back by stuffs like this anymore"

Butler Peter: "Detective is right sir! Mrs.Cathy and Natt are missing and it is up to only 3 of us now."

Detective Billy: "Tell me Butler! Is cookie okay?"

Butler Peter: "Erika? She is unconscious but she seems fine sir! I took care of her injury."

Detective Billy: "Good good...Alright. Now I need to go deep into my mind.SO Don't speak! Don't move! Don't breath and Butler, face the other way!"

Butler Peter: "What? Why?"

Detective Billy: "I am in full focus mode and your handsome face is distracting me"

At this time i remembered the book which had a code in it that Natt gave me, but judging by what she had said, someone might be watching us in this house so i told the detective: "Hey, how about we go outside to get some fresh air? It might help your mind works faster detective"

Detective Billy: "Yeah, good idea partner! Come with us Butler!"

Butler Peter: "Of course sir!"

So we went outside and got to somewhere a little bit further from the house, when i felt like we were kinda safe, i gave detective the book.

Butler Peter: "Hey isn't that the book that master James used to write when he was small?"

Detective Billy: "Yeah but, why you gave me this?"

Harold: "Look at the back of the final page, you will understand!"

Detective turned to the last page quickly and saw the hand-written code.
(re-read chap 9 to see the code again)

Detective Billy: "What is this code about?"

Harold: "I don't even know myself. Natt gave me before we had breakfast"

Detective Billy: "And you haven't told me until now??"

Harold: "Hey i tried but you said you're hungry that your brain couldn't work"

Detective Billy: "It was just a exaggeration obviously"

Harold: "But i still thought that the murderer had been caught by us so there wasn't nothing to worry about. That's why I didn't rush myself and planned to show it for you later"

Detective Billy: "Good point!" Then the detective looked at the code for few minutes.

Butler Peter: "Soo can you solve the code detective?"

Detective Billy: "Hmm...This code can mean anything, we don't have any clues to solve it and besides that maid Natt, can we trust her when she was the one who gave you this? As far as I concerned, she is now our number one suspect"

Harold: "I dont know. But we are really at dead end right now. Solving that code was our only hope"

Detective Billy: "I suppose but like i said, we don't have any clues to solve it. Did that maid give you any?"
