The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What do the footprints reveal?
1 of 6: This question has directly to do with the expensive shoe print that looks more recent than the others.
2 of 6: Using the tape measure on it, you'll find that it's a size 9.
3 of 6: That's the same size that two of the three criminals wear.
4 of 6: If you've already gotten the deduction board's "Lack" entry, you'll know that the bishop wore size 9 shoes, and that they're missing.
5 of 6: He's much more likely than common criminals to wear expensive shoes, and it's very unlikely that he was walking around near the door after the criminals arrived.
6 of 6: We can conclude that one of the criminals switched shoes with the bishop before he left, so the "one man left the room wearing different shoes" choice is the best answer for this question.
