The highest area of ​​Essex County is the hill of Chrishall, which is 147 meters high. There is a location on the edge of a cliff away from the township—the secret base of the kidnappers.

Sherlock Holmes and Watson lurk in the shadow of the trees. Keep an eye out for a place like a secret fortress on the edge of the cliff.

This was the afternoon of the following day. After Holmes and Watson went to Brentford.

Go back to the previous ...

They returned to London in the morning. After sending Mycroft to his home, they had to listen to Mycroft complaining because of going out to investigate the case. Holmes and Watson return to their own home for breakfast, filled Holmes's hungry stomachs after just going through a small adventure last night. After a full stomach, Sherlock Holmes took a pipe to smoke and was immersed in his own thoughts.

The case he has to carry on is ... looking for Wainwright Armstrong.

Holmes extracts relevant information from the brain. In the picture, the idea was as though he had stood over a large table and brought the information one by one.

First ... Name Wainwright Armstrong, age 28, cousin with Griswald Armstrong. Lawyer. His hair is very red and slightly taller than Griswald.

Second ... the Diamond armlet, a symbol of the Armstrong family leader. On Wainwright's right arm has a black diamond armlet.

Third ... the last place Wainwright went to is an abandoned building near North Swandam Alley. A witness saw Wainwright dragged the man into the carriage.

Fourth ... Behrouz Zakaria was kidnapped from an abandoned building near North Swandam Alley by a gang leader.

The Boss's face appeared in the brain as if the man was standing in front of him. That person had extremely red hair, very young, his posture was a characteristic of ...

Sherlock Holmes focused even more. Giving him a clearer picture of the Boss. The suit he wore was order-made from the same shop as Griswald Armstrong, and ...

Holmes opened his eyes. When he interacted with the Boss because of the small size of the house, he accidentally bumped against the Boss's right arm. The touch when it bumped is not as soft as human skin, but a harder touch.

At that moment, many events that had happened over several days poured out at once.

"Watson, take me to the place where you were caught right now."

………………………………………………………

Currently ... Watson has just returned from exploring the surrounding area.

"Holmes, Something different from when I first came," Watson reports. "The area around the fortress doesn't have a single guard. And as I went downwind, I smelled a faint smell of blood."

The word 'smell of blood' was never followed by any good story. Sherlock Holmes thought for a moment and decided to leave the hiding place. The site was built in a fortress style with a one-way entrance.

"Let's go, Watson."

Watson pushed the door open. The first breath that enters the lungs is the fierce fishy smell of large amounts of blood. Beside the door, the corpses of two men, likely the porters, were shot in the head. When walking deep inside, Holmes saw the door to the nearest room open. A strong stink of blood came from within this room.

The room has a square table. On the table, there was a cloth bag that both Holmes and Watson remembered as the cloth bag they had brought from Behruz's home. But what is more noticeable is the large pile of blood on the floor. And the corpses of about ten men, whom Watson remembered as William and his subordinates who captured him. Those guys who threatened and were afraid of him. Now everyone was breathless, unable to open their mouths to speak again.

Everyone's cause of death is a single shot into the head. Based on the appearance of the soot, it is not a shot from behind, but a sniper from afar, indicating that the sniper must be highly skilled.

"Gold bars and ... ruby"

Sherlock Holmes checks the contents of the bag. The treasure was neatly placed in a bag while William and others death. There was no trace of the Boss, Irene Adler, or another golden-haired woman.

"Maybe someone has been trapped in a basement prison," Watson said.

"Lead the way."

Holmes said, but following Watson until he found a way down underground. Which has a separate way Holmes stopped walking. He wanted to hurry and explore this place as soon as possible.

"Watson, you go down and look below. I'll go explore and look around."

"I disagree. It's dangerous," Watson argued.

"No, if that's what I think. There is nobody here but the corpse," said Holmes and turned around, not waiting for Watson's objection.

Watson stared at Holmes's back as he walked away. He did not want to be separated from Holmes, like the last time, separated at the party until Holmes was attacked by others. Watson decided to open the door to the basement. Below there is only one room, the cell. He was determined to complete the survey as quickly as possible and hurried back to Holmes.

But the story did not go according to that.
