Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume II Hints

Why were the de Kuypers stolen?

  • 1 of 7: A lot of people were kept out of the auction because of the timing.
  • 2 of 7: The paintings were very suspicious.
  • 3 of 7: The paint on them was very new.
  • 4 of 7: In fact, the paint was made after De Kuyper's death.
  • 5 of 7: So those paintings had to be forgeries.
  • 6 of 7: And Brady Norris had the shipment diverted.
  • 7 of 7: So the answer is that Norris wanted to keep from being discovered (D).
