"It's not that line, it's the one before it!"
"Uh..." Adler scratched his head, thinking. "We must've botched our investigation!"
"The line before that!"
"This is a ledger, not a treasure map, right?"
"Yep, that's the line."
Adler looked puzzled. "What's so special about that line?"
Sophie explained, "I've always thought it was odd. This ledger was so dangerous back then, yet it wasn't burned. Instead, it was hidden, and not just anywhere, but in each family's ancestral hall. I bet the Tredgold and Costello families have similar ledgers. Maybe when you put them together, they form a treasure map."
Jenna and Adler exchanged bewildered glances.
Jenna said, "I've heard of treasure maps hidden in poems and paintings, but this is the first time I've heard of one hidden in a ledger!"
"Sophie, your imagination is wild," Adler remarked. "If this turns out to be true, it would be absolutely crazy! What kind of treasure would be hidden in a ledger?"
Sophie shook her head, saying, "Mr. Adler, I need you to go back to the Tredgold estate and see if you can find anything in the ancestral hall."
"??"
Adler felt everyone's eyes on him. He swallowed hard and protested, "No way! I've never liked going into ancestral halls. Either the ancestors will be displeased, or my dad will beat me. You're asking me to sneak in? I need a solid reason for that!"
Colby said flatly, "Doesn't matter what the reason is, you have to go."
"Me?"
Adler's eyes widened. This was insane!
