Why, what's the problem?
The answer is simple, Lestrade.
The powder burns were certainly effected by a blank cartridge.
Now, if a blank cartridge was fired into a wound, the wadding would have penetrated and distorted the wound.
Yes, but supposing the person had removed the wadding from the black Mr. Holmes?
Its effect would still be quite apparent to the police surgeon who removed the bullet.
Am I correct, Dr. Hendricks?
The surgeon could not fail to identify the marks, Mr. Holmes.
And therefore, only one person could have fired that blank cartridge without detection.
The same person who made the incision necessary to remove the cartridge would also remove all traces of the shot.
You yourself, Dr. Hendricks.
Holmes, I believe you're right.
That's an ingenious theory, Holmes.
Surely you're joking.
Then how do you account for the thick feathers on the collar of your coat?
