Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I help Squibby with his journalist problem?
1 of 6: Holmes deduces that it's the same journalist Watson helped out in the pub earlier, so go there to see if you can find him.
2 of 6: After you're ungratefully evicted from the station, fast-travel to the pub and enter it. (Holmes will do a super-quick change of clothes to make sure Bluto can't recognize him.)
3 of 6: The journalist isn't there, so ask the bartender and barmaid about him.
4 of 6: The barmaid mentions a cheap book that the journalist was reading, and that she put in the paper bin for the stove.
5 of 6: Find the stove in one corner, then look just to the left of it for a hotspot that you can click on to retrieve the book.
6 of 6: That's all you can do for now, so click on the pub's exit door and fast-travel back to Holmes' apartment.
