Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume II Hints

Who murdered the lions?

  • 1 of 11: You should have found a lot out about the lions at the Carriage Stables.
  • 2 of 11: Did anything look suspicious in the cage?
  • 3 of 11: How about those leather pouches?
  • 4 of 11: Surely, you must remember something about the thefts in Germany.  No one was caught because there wasn't enough evidence.
  • 5 of 11: That means they couldn't find the stolen goods.
  • 6 of 11: The pouches surely could have held something.
  • 7 of 11: Don't forget that the lions were in Germany near the time of the robbery.
  • 8 of 11: So someone probably wanted to claim the contents of the pouches.
  • 9 of 11: Someone who knew about the pouches but couldn't get close to them without killing the lions.
  • 10 of 11: That only leaves one person -- the thief.
  • 11 of 11: Thomas O'Neill.
