Max is left with yet another enigma as he doesn't seem fully convinced with the report and reaches out to Abner Fitzroy, a forensic specialist and an old acquaintance. Max finds Abner to be nervous beyond his usual self as Abner reveals that the four symbols found carved on the man's body are musical notes although heavily distorted and written upside down. Abner offers Max a cup of tea which although Max's favourite beverage tastes funny claims Max. Nonchalant to the remark Abner feeds the symbols into the decoder, the machine hums back a familiar tune... the very tune Max has been hearing in his fever dreams, which leaves Max distraught even more. Abner emphasises Max to look into Lucile's past as a mild suggestion and reinvestigate the crime scene for clues that he might have overlooked the first time while he continues to decipher the conundrum of Lucile's seemingly ordinary death.
