- The "Xs" in the diagram can be lined up with the words in the message.
- Move the words in the arrow directions displayed in the diagram for the correct order.

- "DISTRACT HIM AND I WILL LEAVE OUR MESSAGE ON HIS CAR"
Letter from Art
- In this introduction to our new case, we learn the victim was Hank Maartens.
- The person convicted, Sam Langstar, is in jail and Art believes she is innocent.
-
Our first objective of the case is to find out who left a pair of spurs on top of Hank's car.
- This indicates someone was challenging his position as king.

Chester's comment has an obvious code.
- His clue is "one step behind the name of the ring" alludes to the heraldry ring which depicts a lion.
- LION is the keyword.

In order to decode his message, read only the letters that are to the right of the letters in "LION".

Once decoded, the message reads:
