London 2023. During the inventory in Scotland Yard archives, an unclaimed parcel dated 1914 was discovered. Upon unwrapping, an object resembling a camera was revealed. However, the camera contained enigmatic symbols and locks instead of the common mechanism. The following note was enclosed:
"Dear Detectives,
Over all these years I have been investigating the most mysterious cases. Now it is time for me to retire, so I decided to entrust my life's work to one of you, to the most talented and capable detective. I am leaving you this creation of my own — a camera with an encrypted mechanism. Open the camera and discover the identity of my successor!
Sincerely yours,
S. H."
