The Secret She Hid

    After getting into these result, I quickly rushed into my room with Jonathan assisting me in whatever I do. I was pretty sure that something's hidden in my room.

   I checked it all over and tried to notice anything weird. If something was hidden there it mustn't be obvious so that anyone could find it, it must be in an unexpected place with a special way of solving.

   Is it a code? A note? A secret message? Maybe a record? Or her cell phone?? What could it be?

...

    At 7:10 pm, I gave up on searching, I found nothing!

   The servants may had stashed any clues that mighy expose their crime..

   I won't find anything like this, I only need a scarce of light to uncloud my mind.. I need to ponder any contraption in the space, and think of all probabilities.. If the girl used ro know many different languages, then the link to our case must be in some special language she knew... However, doing this will be very obvious, she will be revealed if she does so.

I.. I don't really know..

...

   After an hour, I had to eat my supper.. But I didn't feel like to eat and got lost into my thoughts more and more.. I can't focus on anything other than solving this case.. How could a girl with four languages hide a secret code?

   I must know more informations!

   After dinning, I isolated myself into my room again, I surfed the web about Ruit's incidence and disappearance, until I reached to contact one of her closest friends.

       "Hello.. It's Lillian!" I called "Are you a friend of Ruit's?"

       "Umm.. Hi" She replied "Who is it?"

       "I'm investigating about Ruit's disappearance!"

       "Ruit is kidnapped! I'm pretty sure!! She didn't escape with anyone!"

        "How can you be so sure?"

        "She told us she was going to a mansion in eucalyptus wood, she had a relative there.."

        "What kind of relative?"

        "Ummm.. I don't really know.. Ruit had no family around her. Her father ran away with her mother when they were young and got married, none of their families accepted this marriage, so they abandoned them. Her father was shot by her grandfather long ago, and her mother died three years before she disappeared, she got very sick!"

       "What happened after this?"

       "After this, she got a message of someone, she was very very happy!"

       "Who was this someone?"

       "Ummm.. I don't really know.. She said she was going to visit a relative of hers who resides in that mansion.. She talked with us for a while, after that she suddenly stopped contacting us and then we reported her disappearance!"

       "Was she acting oddly when you talked to her?"

       "Hmmm.. I don't really know... I don't remember.. Maybe.. Oh! Yes! She used to say that she's ok and doing well alot, she also said she can't come back soon and talked about an art she was drawing!"

        "Huh! I didn't get it! Umm why would she talk about an art she was drawing??"

         "Well.. She used to draw anything she sees around! Special things that attracts her, but she had never told about her arts, since she's so secretive about her works.."

         "Then, she wanted you to know about the drawing she was focused on, it might mean that this art had a special meaning she wanted you to notice.. Did she tell you about the theme of the art?"

         "Umm.. No.. Not really.."

         "Nor where it's located?"

         "No.. I'm sorry.."

         "Okay, I have one more question. Why did she say she can't go back soon? Was something banning her from? Did she give you hints about it?"

         "Well.. She said she can't, because she had some business to do there, but she didn't mention.."

         "Ok, miss. I got all the information I need. Thank you"

         "Detective! Please find the truth! My friend is involved in crazy things, please save her!"

         "I will try my best. However, can I find another person close of her to contact?"

         "Yes! I will send you their number. Please find our girl! Thank you, detective!"

    The call lasted for so long, I noticed it was 11:27 already, I felt sad about this girl, since I'm pretty sure that Ruit is already dead, she can't be alive anymore. After all, it has been five years since she vanished from this world.. She can't be here anymore!

   Ruit's friend sent me, then, a number, and I must call them tomorrow, because it was late night and I can't annoy people at this time.

   After this call, Jonathan entered my room, or it was Ruit's room, the crime scene.. I told him about her friend and what she told me, and we tried to find a logical conclusion to what she told me.

    I spitted everything I knew, and argued about the art that Ruit has drawn, I thought that this art might hold the answer to our questions and the secrets beyond our boundaries and that I will talk to another person the day after.

    Our conversation lasted til 3:00 am, but we didn't get to any accurate solution. Then, he slept on my laps as I kept up thinking about what Ruit's friend said. I closed the curtains, locked the door and kept the key in the lock, so that nobody can bug with my thoughts nor get the truth before us.

    I know they are watching us, but I must keep my investigations as stowed as I could.

    As I was gazing in the room with a dim light to see, I noticed something that I didn't before!

    It was different from the others, special and weird!

   Now, I know it! I know Diamante's code now!

   How didn't I notice? It was so obvious!
