The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I take Sarah's personal effects?
1 of 9: You will need permission from someone at Scotland Yard.
2 of 9: Gregson can't give you permission, but he'll tell you who can.
3 of 9: If you need help getting into the Yard, see a later question.
4 of 9: Now all you need to do is contact Lestrade. A bit of inside help is needed.
5 of 9: Have you talked to the blind man outside?
6 of 9: The last place a fraud should be standing is in front of the police station.
7 of 9: But Holmes will realize that he's not really blind. Use that information to learn something important about the officer at the desk.
8 of 9: Talk to the blind man after you look at him, and Holmes will confront him to get the information he needs. (You may need to talk to Watson first for a bit of advice.)
9 of 9: Compliment the desk officer, and he'll call Lestrade up for you so you can get the pass.
