Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I find out if Leather Apron killed Polly Nichols?
1 of 14: Start by asking the police what they know.
2 of 14: Fast-travel to Whitechapel's police station, then go inside and talk to Constable Humphries about a letter from Holmes.
3 of 14: Ask about the Leather Apron guy, and then about how to find him.
4 of 14: Humphries mentions that Finley was looking for you and Holmes, so fast-travel to the boarding house next.
5 of 14: You'll find Finley where he was before, now painting a door, so talk to him about Leather Apron.
6 of 14: He'll tell you about Isaac Solomonovitch, so go see if you can find him.
7 of 14: When you click on the shop's door, you'll find that the shop is closed, and Watson will have the idea of talking to the Captain's niece, Lucy, again.
8 of 14: Fast-travel to Lucy's lodgings, then talk to her at the window again.
9 of 14: Ask her about Leather Apron to be referred to Bella, then ask about her to be taken to the brothel she runs.
10 of 14: Open the doors and go inside, then go through the doors that are between small wall-mounted lamps.
11 of 14: When Madam Bella shows up, tell her you need some information, then ask about Margie.
12 of 14: Bella says that Margie caught a disease and is probably being treated at the clinic, so fast-travel there and ask the resident doctor about Margie.
13 of 14: Ask who was threatening her, then ask about her attacker to learn that he works in a cobbler shop run by an old Israelite.
14 of 14: After you exit the clinic, Watson will realize that what the doctor told him proves that Leather Apron couldn't have been Polly Nichols' killer.
