The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What clues can I find after the police have ransacked the apartment?
1 of 9: The best place to look would be in Holmes' bedroom. Its door is to the right of the fireplace.
2 of 9: Open the door and go inside, then check around for interesting hotspots.
3 of 9: The open drawer that's to the left of the bed is the most important one to start with.
4 of 9: Click on it to get a close-up of its contents, then click on the tobacco box.
5 of 9: After it's moved aside, notice that a small chunk of wood is missing over on the left side of the drawer.
6 of 9: Click on it to get Watson to conclude that the drawer has a false bottom.
7 of 9: Look to the right of the tobacco box to find a nail you can take.
8 of 9: Select it in inventory, then click on the hole to reveal what's beneath the false bottom.
9 of 9: Take all four of the letters in the hidden compartment to get Watson to realize that they're each addressed to one of Holmes' secret identities.
