Harold: "What what? You got what?"
"On the chessboard, there are often numbers printed at the side and letters printed at the bottom..." Said the detective while writing something on the code's page.
"Just like this" he said as he showed us the page.
Butler Peter: "Ohhhh i see i see!...i still don't get it"
Detective Billy: "Because you just see but you don't observe. So just be patient! In chess, white goes first so we have to solve the meaning of the white dots first!"
Harold: "Yeah, I always consider that's racist"
Detective Billy: "Anyway, look closely at the positions of each of the white dots, if you match the letters which every dots are lined up to, in the correct order based on the numbers which every dots are also lined up to.
We will have: E-G-G-H-E-A-D...Egghead!"Harold: "Wait Egghead? It's the nickname of master James' dad which people used to call him!"
Detective Billy: "Exactly!"
Harold: "This morning...when i was with Natt in James' office, there was a big picture of Egghead. As i know, it was the ONLY picture of him in the entire house"
Detective Billy: "That picture must hide something. We need to get back to the mansion as fast as possible"
So we ran back quickly with the Butler guided us the way ahead. We were running like our life depending on it.
As we entered the mansion, we were shocked as we saw that everything was messed up. All the glasses are broken and the furnitures, too. We saw bullet holes on the walls and some dried blood on the floor. Like there was an intense fight happened when we were gone.
The blood trace was leading to the party room. We came there quickly.
Inside the room, we saw...
Harold: "Lucky???"
Lucky: "Yo!"
Lucky was standing there with cook Erika who was asleep and tied up into the chair. Lucky was pointing a gun straight into her head. Both of them had bruises all over their body, but Erika had worse. Blood was coming out of her forehead and her legs.
Lucky: "This girl was...very tough . Even when she was injured, i had a very hard time catching her. You should see her running after me. I put 2 rounds in each of her legs and she still managed to run. I see why you used to like her detective!"
Harold: "Wait so detective is not gay?"
Butler Peter: "I think he is somewhere between gay and straight!"
"Exactly! Anyway,.." said Detective Billy as he quickly pulled out from his pocket a gun, pointing at Lucky "I demand you to release her Lucky!"
Lucky: "Hey hey hey! If you shoot me, i will shoot her!"
