the man who died leaving 12 small chests behind(part3)...the plot thickens

12:55 p.m.


so the first task was done, finding the boy. for the lawyer it was all following his twisted knotted plans. in 11 hours 5 minutes he would be the owner of the mansion and the various other estates that cranky old man had possessed. he knew the remaining tasks would not be so simple. the cranky old man with all his secrets, worshiping the occult and performing black magic was sure to complicate his plans. again he cursed the old fool, squandering his family estates doing his mumbo jumbo, it did not make good business sense. the lawyer felt it was his obligation and his duty to take upon himself the role of the custodian of the estates and the mansion. more importantly the mansion, a nice heritage hotel could come up, it all made good business sense.
and caught in the midst was our protagonist, promised money, food and bedding for a day he had been whisked away from being a beggar to being a heir. he was not complaining but looking wide eyed at the riches all around.
now for the next task the lawyer thought, it was almost time, the clock was striking one.
opening the lock of the second chest, he read the second cryptic message and yet again cursed the cranky old man.


...if liked may be continued
