CODE

Chapter 9 - TRAP

*sai brought the envelope to the living room

"Get ready for the ride of life" ...It's him...I said

So, he must be somewhere here...Come let's chase him down...Sai said

Come on Sai...He is not a fool come here and drop it...He would have asked a kid to drop it here just by giving some chocolates or whatever...

It will not be a perfect option...Let's crack this and get him...I said in confidence

But why the hellllll he had sent an envelope...He is an old aged villain or what?? He would have sent an SMS like last time right?? Sai questioned

I will tell you the reason later... I said and opened the envelope

*Inside the envelope it's written as

ການແກ້ແຄ້ນ

gdb iru wkh grfwruv

veiled

LTB

Catch me if you can, You Bastard!!

Ohhhhhhhh...This lavatikabaal...I am going to kill him once we catch him...Sai shouted

What the hell??? What language is that??? Nothing seems like English...Vivian said in frustration

Just 3 codes this time??? Job is easy then...Sai said in anticipation

Think in the other way around... He gave 2 days to crack 4 codes...Now only 3 codes which means he might have given only one day to crack...But we can't imagine things, we must crack and see the time left

The most important thing is we couldn't able to crack 4 codes in 2 days... So, if he had given only one day to crack 3 codes then it's going to be a tougher task...I said

Which means one piece of important information is missing...Vivian asked

Exactly...Just only with 3 information, we must catch him...I said

Let's start... The last time what all we have found???

Vengeance

20/06/2019

Mahabalipuram

Number plate...Vivian said in the order

So the last time he had given us the Reason (Vengeance), Date (20/06/2019), Place (Mahabalipuram) and the Person (Through Number plate) ...

But this time he had given only 3, if I am not wrong, he must not have given the reason since it's going to be the same... I said

He might have given the Date, Place, and Person...I said

Sai now you understood why he had sent an envelope instead of SMS?? I questioned looking at Sai

No... No idea...Sai replied cluelessly

Look at the first code (ການແກ້ແຄ້ນ) That's the main reason for sending an envelope instead of SMS...

I... I didn't understand still...Sai said

Saiiiii... Think in his perspective... we have no clue about what language it is...

If he had sent it through SMS, the first thing we would have done is Copying the code and Pasting it in google... So, we would have almost got the details like language and meaning of the code

But still, we can type this in google and figure out right??? Vivian questioned

That is where the checkpoint is...That is where he played the game smartly this time... I said

I still didn't get it...Vivan replied

See if we have to type in Tamil in Google search then the important thing is the Tamil keypad...

So now the checkpoint here is that we have no clue about the language of the code which means we cannot select the keypad of that language in our mobile or laptop and search in google...

So, the first thing is we have to find the language and then the hidden information... He wants us to spend more time on this... He is an absolute genius... I said

So, what now?? Do we have to check all the languages in the world??? Vivian interrogated

No... That's not an option... There are 6500 languages in the world, we can't check each and every one... I replied without knowing what to do next

*Almost 2 hours gone to find the possible way to figure out the language... And clock reached 12 by now

Okay...We are not getting any possible way...At least try to crack the remaining 2 codes right...Sai asked helplessly

Bro... The only reason I am spending so much time on this first one is that he had given only 3 codes...We have to find the name of the person who is going to be killed...The remaining two don't seem like giving the name...My intuition says that this code will give the name… I said

And think in the other way, He is giving us a tougher code which means most valuable information must be hidden inside...Might be the name of the person who is going to be killed... I added

Okay, let's figure out...Both said at a time

Just comparing this to our currency we can conclude that It's not an Indian language for sure...

So, except India there are 194 countries in this world, at maximum a country will be having 3 official languages... He must not have given a too interior language of any other country I believe... I said

Each of us will take 70 countries and check their official languages and its letters... If some language looks similar, "change the keypad into that language and type this code then convert the same into English" using google translator

What will happen by this?? Vivian questioned

See If it's a word, it will be having a proper English meaning...If not we can conclude that it's a name...Using the alphabets we can figure out the name…I explained

*Almost two hours and 150 countries gone...Still they figured out nothing

Brooooooooooooo... This language looks similar... Sai shouted by looking at the laptop

What language is that?? I asked in curiosity

Lao... It's one of the official languages in "Laos"(Asian country)

*Both joined Sai

Type Rudra in English and convert it into Lao… I said

*The result showed as

Rudra (English) – Rudra (Lao)

Now change the keypad into Lao and check the code… I said

F*ckkkkkkkkkkkkkk... I screamed by looking at the air

What happened?? Vivian asked cluelessly

Look at that, the code has a meaning... It means it's an English word... I screamed once again

ການແກ້ແຄ້ນ(Lao) - Retaliation(English)

He fooled us like anything... The code is just the reason for his killing

We have spent almost half a day to crack this but all in vain...

He is extremely smart enough to make us waste so much time in a code which is the least important... It's a TRAP.... I shouted

So, what the remaining codes will be?? Vivian asked in confusion

He gave us the reason... Which means either of the Date, Place, Person's name detail is missing...I said

But everything is equally important...

"We are nowhere closer to him" ... I shouted once again

He might be coming for us if the person who is going to be killed is either one of us ... I said

*Power went off suddenly...The room is full dark…All of them stood like a statue in the dark without knowing what to do next...

*Crakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...The window glass broke, and they felt like something came inside through the broken window...

After a few seconds

*Someone had opened the door and started walking towards Rudra, Sai, and Vivian...
