16. Does ghost not exist?

Jeffery came to the home of James that night and told him that he was surprised that the police could not save Harsha Nidhi. He got the clue from James and told that he was keen to crack it even faster. James provided the clue to Jeffery and told him that, he had already solved an anagram.

The extension,

Could also be written as: The next one is.

SOS had given the symbol as a clue for the next person. James could not decipher the symbols though.

Jeffery left to his home. After becoming the friend of James in a short period, he had received the book, Religion an encyclopedia of superstitions from James, to have a read. He thought of reading the book, before sleeping.

There is a firm belief in Hinduism about the presence of soul. When the soul satisfies its desire it reaches God. Else, it remains in the earth as a ghost. Even Christians believe ghosts. Ghost is one common belief among the religions mostly, apart from God. For those who believe in ghosts I have few questions to ask them!

People would definitely agree with me that like a computer has a CPU, a human being has a brain. Like the RAM, ROM storage devices used in the computer, brain is used to store the thoughts.

So, how would a ghost think without a brain? How would it remember? Where would it store it’s memories?

Jeffery stopped reading, it was boring for him. He had known all this before itself. It was nothing new to him. He thought, ‘I would have chosen the wrong chapter’. But he didn’t reverse his decision to close the book.

James called him up. “I had deciphered it Jeffery the symbols were pretty simple. I had once read in a blog about an easter egg in notepad. The twin tower attack represented by Q33NY! Do you know that? This clue was similar to that”

Jeffery replied, “Oh! Great James! Good job! But I cannot understand it clearly. Can you explain it to me tomorrow? Now I am feeling very sleepy” and ended the phone call.

James was surprised at Jeffery’s lack of interest.

James solved it because he was good at remembering things.

Q33NY when typed in notepad with the font wingdings gives the following symbols.

Q33NY

It was an easter egg in the notepad, which predicted the future. James typed down all the symbols from A to Z in wingdings font, and observed it.

A-A

B-B

C-C

D-D

E-E

F-F

G-G

H-H

I-I

J-J

James stopped with J on seeing the smiley symbol J.

EJF was deciphered by James as EJF. He didn’t know what/who EJF was? But he was sure that this was the solution. To filthy, new path was an anagram of play with the font. And he had played with the font.
