Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume I Hints
Which leads should I pursue?
1 of 9: Henry Ellis told you who the author of those articles about the mummy murders is. He may have some insight into the case.
2 of 9: See Phillip Travis.
3 of 9: You may be able to make your case by ruling out some of the more likely suspects. Try investigating everyone who's a likely suspect.
4 of 9: Clarissa Windibank and Anthony Uruburu were having an affair, according to the first officer on the Eastern Empress. I'd check those two out.
5 of 9: Uruburu has an alibi.
6 of 9: And do you remember what Jasper Meek said about the murders? The murderer only used his/her hands to kill his victims.
7 of 9: Take notice of Clarissa's strength, or, actually, lack thereof.
8 of 9: The expedition was co-sponsored by the London University and the British Museum. I would check both of these places.
9 of 9: No one else you can visit will do much good.
