"See the pattern? Or should I call Sherlock Holmes for a consult?
Smart enough to notice this pattern, though. Give yourself some credit. Now, what does it spell out?
Well, well, well... Looks like we've got ourselves a secret message. But why would someone go through the trouble of hiding it in plain sight?
It’s the murderer’s way of telling us who they are
"Ah, so the murderer is trying to play a game with us. Very well, I'll bite. Give me a moment, let me decipher this cryptic message.
Indeed, my dear Owen. This message is full of twists and turns, like a snake slithering through the grass. But fear not, for I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
pulls out a magnifying glass and starts examining the message closely
My dear Owen, I am using my trusty magnifying glass to uncover the hidden clues within this message.
There are hidden clues???
notices a tiny dot in the message Ah-ha! I found something. This dot, my friend, is no ordinary dot. It's a microdot, a miniature version of the usual dots used in secret messages.
Now, let's see what this microdot has in store for us. takes out a small telescope and focuses on the microdot
Ah, patience, my dear Owen. Let me enhance the image. adjusts the telescope There we go... Now, what do we have here?
My, my! It seems like our cunning murderer has left us a little surprise. This microdot reveals a hidden map, leading to the victim's safe house!
A safe house? Where is it?
Ah, my dear Owen, the safe house is cleverly concealed behind an old warehouse on Elm Street. But why would the murderer lead us to the victim's safe house?
As Frank and Owens cautiously approach the old warehouse, they hear a sudden noise from inside, causing them to freeze in their tracks.
Yes, I did. It sounded like... a struggle of some sort. We need to be cautious. draws his dagger and whispers Stay close, Owen.
What are we looking for in the safe house?
My dear Owen, we're looking for clues, documents, maybe even a confession from the murderer himself.
And what if there isn’t anything in there?
Well, my dear Owen, if there's nothing in there, then the murderer is either incredibly sloppy or incredibly smart. In that case, we'll have to rely on our wits and instincts to outsmart them. But I have a feeling there's something in there, waiting to be uncovered.
And if the murderer is in there?
Then, my dear Owen, we'll have to be prepared for a confrontation. We can't let our guard down for even a second.
Do you have a plan if the murderer is in there?
Oh, my dear Owen, I always have a plan. First, we'll survey the environment, looking for any potential weapons or escape routes.
whispers Stay behind me, Owen. I'll take the lead. And remember, if things get rough, just give me the signal and we'll find a way to escape.
slowly opens the door and steps inside, scanning the room for any signs of danger We must tread carefully, my dear Owen. The murderer could be lurking anywhere.
Oh, my dear Owen! Are you alright? rushes over to help Owens up
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to-
No need to apologize, my dear Owen. Just be careful. We can't afford any unnecessary distractions. Now, let's keep moving and stay alert.
whispers Stay close, Owen. We're not alone in here. Keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary.
walks carefully looking out for the murderer
As they explore the safe house, Frank and Owens come across a hidden basement filled with incriminating documents and dark secrets.
My dear Owen, welcome to the heart of the matter. This basement holds the key to unraveling the murderer's sinister plans.
