The FactFinders

A long time ago, a worker named Alfredo worked part-time at a famous museum. One night, there was an incident where all of the museum's artifacts were mysteriously stolen, and the worker disappeared without a sign. As expected, the police suspected that they were snitched away by Alfredo himself. However, it was deemed not to be the case after hearing from his family that there was absolutely no trace of him left while all his belongings remained at home, including his passport and purse. After a thorough investigation, the police concluded that it was a supernatural incident that took not only the artifacts but also Alfredo. To this day, the case remains unsolved.

Alfredo's Phone

Believe it or not, this is an image taken from his own phone! It appears to be a cracked phone. Alfredo's parents and coworkers expressed how Alfredo always cared for his belongings, including his phone. He would not let a scratch in there.

Take a good look. There seems to be a shadowy figure in the background while this picture was taken. Who could that be?

Alfredo's Ink Pen

This is no ordinary pen! This ink pen was a gift Alfredo received for his 16th birthday from his most beloved grandparents before they passed away. This pen was also found in the vicinity upon his disappearance. According to Alfredo's parents, Alfredo would never be circumspect enough to leave such priceless and sentimental artifacts at the hands of the unreliable to be dusted up and picked up. But is there more than meets the eye with this ink pen that we may not know about?

Alfredo's Snow Globe

A Mysterious Puppet

Oh and did I forget to mention this earlier?

Alfredo purchased two items the day he went shopping with his mother. Of course, one was the snow globe, and the other was this mysterious puppet. There is a history behind this wooden puppet, a secret history that only Alfredo's mother knew. The mysterious puppet was an identical wooden puppet to a gift that Alfredo received from his old girlfriend. What may the history of Alfredo's relationship reveal about his obsession with this newfound figure?

A Mysterious Stone

This is a special stone ingrained and dedicated to his favourite animal and sea-life creature, the dolphin. His mother expressed Alfredo's interest in the aquarium ever since he was young. Owning over hundreds of different sea-life antique items such as cases, trophies, and even old VCD and VHS tapes of dolphin sounds. There was one particular aquarium that Alfredo used to visit almost every year. The only problem was that it was quite far. Unfortunately, it was disclosed that the aquarium ran out of business due to insolvency. Is there something in particular that Alfredo liked about this aquarium?

Alfredo's Inhaler

Spring is the season for allergies, and just like most people, Alfredo suffered from serious allergies throughout this period. Unfortunately, at the same time, he also had severe asthma. Hence, it was crucial that he always had his inhaler with him at all times. His mother, however, seemed wary about the fact he misplaced his one and only inhaler. She informed us that he always made sure to have his inhaler tightly sealed with his pocket zipper. Could it be that the inhaler fell out of his pocket? How could that be the case if it was tightly zipped?

Alfredo's Diary

This diary belongs to Alfredo. He is a journal writer, a pretty good one, actually. He started this diary at the age of 10. He documented many personal events he had to go through in his childhood, including his father's death due to a house fire. Unfortunately, most belongings got caught in the process of the fire. Therefore, many pages in the book were deemed unrecoverable. Surprisingly, it seemed that Alfredo continued to write till the end. The last journal entry was a few hours before he mysteriously vanished. What type of clues can we find in that entry?

Museum Sword

Fun fact, this was the only artifact found in the museum. Believe it or not. It was one of the least popular objects that often went unnoticed due to its unethical use in past wars. However, Alfredo had a special interest towards the sword. He loved this artifact and tried his best to take care of it despite its history of violence. He stopped paying attention to it after his father's death. Unfortunately, it started to rust since it has yet to be polished in recent years. What may have caused his interest in the sword apart from everything else?
