Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I get the other document onto the puzzle board?
1 of 9: The other document is the one that tells you how to use the book's and chalk board's heart diagrams to figure out the lid locks' combinations. It'll naturally be well hidden.
2 of 9: Look around near the chalk board to see what else is interactive.
3 of 9: Notice the wheeled trolley.
4 of 9: Click the hand cursor on its front right wheel to get Watson to notice that it won't roll despite all the added grease.
5 of 9: That doesn't exactly scream "secret message," but it's the most promising thing around. See if there's anything you can use on the wheel.
6 of 9: Look to the left to find an interactive instrument box on a small worktable.
7 of 9: Click the hand cursor on the box to open it, then again to take one of the instruments.
8 of 9: Select that instrument in inventory, then click the hand cursor on the trolley's wheel to find the secret message.
9 of 9: Return to the heart jar's puzzle view, then click on either of the empty document spaces. Select "Old Prescription from London Hospital," and click on the "Use this document as proof" button that's below the prescription view.
