The Irrelevant case of Akiki (Chapter 4)

Yeah, you have reached the 4th and next-to last or penultimate chapter of the Irrelevant case of Akiki. Good news!! I will post this chapter and the 5th chapter will be the longest chapter of all. So I hope you have not given up on reading about this story. So, thanks for reading the case of Akiki's disappearance or so it seems. Start!!! Fourth chapter!!!

Chapter 4 : The Solution

I sat up straight after waking up for bed that night. The dream shook me up a bit, I was still terrified. Who was that person in my dream, was it someone I knew, or someone who is a complete stranger to me. And the worst of all what was his name, I couldn't really guess who it was. Was it my friend Ziq, or some other guy whose name is familiar. And what has he got to do with Akiki's disappearance. This thought bothered me throughout the day.

As I went into the shower I thought about the note or puzzle that Akiki left me or he should have. I thought carefully thinking of the possible ways of getting the hidden message left within it. Then something came to my mind, Math!! It was one of the things that Akiki was best at and maybe just maybe there was a way of getting the message by solving all the questions. I answered each one carefully making sure that the message is clear.

For the first question I had answered the answer was, O=G, I thought about how this could become a note. Then, a thought struck me, I remembered my teacher saying something about where there can be the number 1. I started adding the number 1 to all the answers not on the first letter but on the ones after the equal signs.

I cleared it out, and the new answer was, O=1G. I received more answer when answering the following questions, K=1B, I=1A and so on. I finally found it, the way of solving the puzzle, the first letter represents the letter and the following ones represent the coordinates not on a Cartesian plane but on the coordinates like when playing Battle Ship as I saw in my dream.

The answer from the puzzle was horrible but I tried to hold my self together. I sat back on my bed thinking of all the ways I could overcome and solve this case. The message the letter held was something I had never expected and I tried not to think about this case, this impossible case that cannot be solved by any mere human being and what more me a school kid. That thought filled my head as I read a book about the White Wolf.

Well that's all I'm quite sleepy so this is a short chapter and still the penultimate chapter of this 5 chapter story. Bye.
