Previously on Sherlock and Co.
Do you believe in magic? What's this?
Well
aha. Pulled a coin from my uh very impressive mate. No. Oh, look at it. Follow the sparkle. And as if by magic, a case shall appear. In short, I have a case for you.
So you have a case for me. I do. And these are pictures.
Yes, of
Of one of our victims.
One of our victims indeed. Well put, Marianna. Her name is Edna. Sure look. Yes, Watson. This is a cat? Yes. Yes it is. John versus Mariana. Yeah, in a game of what? Sorry? Crime solving.
It's fun and educational. And it's also work. Oh, great. Hey, beautiful girl. So cute. Is she well looked after by her owners, usually? Oh, definitely. Yeah.
What do you think these injuries are from?
Um
Not another cat? No. And she's got a mean stare on her. That could have been taken the wrong
way. Well, that's the expected opponent in Edna's little scrap.
But
but Ha I'd say the claw marks don't match. And It's the biting for me. It's quite different from a cat fight.
So have you solved this case or what?
What do James Barclay’s injuries and the crime scene reveal?
Oh me? I require a few final furnishings, with access to early police reports on the matter and a little browsing on my phone. I have nearly all of it.
Right,
but it's a race between me and Mariana, is it? A rather slow race, but a race nonetheless.
We well we we haven't even seen the crime scene yet.
Then let's go take
a look. Sir James was On the back foot. In the doghouse, do we reckon? Well, right now,
Watson. He's in the morgue. What?
No.
Our loving couple had a ferocious argument. Nancy demanded for her life back. What the hell? Her life? Then a thud of the French doors, a scream, another thud, then silence. The neighbor opposite believes the security light came on, then off. Moments later, it came on one final time.
Then? What? Blood? His
blood. That's right. Nancy was gone, but James Was lying over there. He had a wound on the back of his skull, and uh Broken neck.
Struck from behind.
Looks that way.
I okay. The game is afoot. And indeed underway. Your time. Starts. Now.
The game is a closely fought contest between me and And Mariana. If your team John And I assume you are. Then thank you for your support. We can do this. If you're Team Mariana, then you can get lost. Uh this episode contains gore, general sort of eerie dread. The mystical too, I suppose, and um Heartbreak. Uh yeah, I'll I'll I'll see you at the end. Team John on three. One, two, three
Hmm. Uh. Mm.
Uh If I was Sherlock, I What would I spot? What clue would I find? Mm, where this Exactly, you a clue? Um I'm gonna uh crawl under the table, see if there's anything. So it's a bit wobbly these table legs. Um Alright, there's some blood. Well there was Like Pooling of blood. Under here. How would How would Blood have time to settle under the table if he was Struck over there. But then McKinnon did say he was moved. Um Otherwise it's just There's uh there's not much else under here. I'll just Oh god. Um right. Uh next Let me just Take a peek at Mariana outside. Make sure she's not cheating.
I can see you looking.
I'm just checking you're playing by the rules and not asking Sherlock for answers.
You, sir, are cheating.
No, I'm not. Uh. And how are we doing in here? Yeah, good. Good finding lots of clues. Lovely. You want a cup of tea, mate? I I can I can run into town, grab you some biscuits too, if you want. Ah, thank you, John. Much appreciated. No problem, mate. No problem at all. I'll uh I'll make sure they've got some Bourbons.
Why do the security light, bloodstains, and Edna the cat matter?
I know you love those. I'll I'll even get a selection box. You're not getting any points
for that. They're from crime solving only. For God's sake, well I won't bother then.
Oh wait, oh it's it's working. Um I thought I should probably record my process. Um and definitely include you guys too, of course. So I was thinking about the security light and the French doors at the back of the house.
