There's been a murder crime scene happened in Piccadilly, where the streets vacant for it's fame of being fashionable and luxurious materials at it's best. A family of four, three of which being brutally murdered. A father, a mother and a daughter each received a brutal stabs which instantly killed them while an eldest son survived the massacre but still in critical condition receiving a deep stab to his back. The father runs a luxurious diamond deals which is basically an easy target for every 'beasts' in the street to prey upon.
Inspector Graham just arrived at the crime scene and were greeted by a familiar black coated figure examining the bodies, instantly, he knew just who might it be. "HOLMES, great to see you again. What are you doing here, may I know?", says Graham who only met Holmes once but already the inspector build a sense of dislike towards Holmes.
"You knew I love puzzles, good to see you again, inspector. I've brought a friend to the crime scene, if you don't mind.", says Holmes.
"Bloody hell, Holmes! This is not a playground and who grants you the permission to bring a friend to the crime scene?!", in an instant the inspector already disgust with Holmes attitude of stomping into the crime scene without authorization and bringing in another non-authorized person in.
"Hold your judgment for later. You need it. WATSON! Meet Inspector Graham, one of our Yard's finest gentleman and Graham, this is Watson, my partner. A former army man, medic and forensic.", says Holmes breaking the ice for both of them.
Although Graham wasn't pleasant with Holmes' actions still he play it steadily and shakes Watson's hand. Graham remembered what Mr. Hibbert says before that a crime can't be solved without Holmes advice. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Watson. And Holmes...I don't want another to happened. I'M WARNING YOU."
"So... What do we got for our main course, gentlemen?", asked Graham.
"The victims were James Bowman, aged 58, jewelry dealer as profession, Anne Andrews Bowman, aged 55, a housewife and the daughter, Jude Bowman, aged 24, currently still a graduate. The only victim that survived is their eldest son, Josh Bowman, aged 27, also a jewelry dealer and works for his father, sir.", says an officer.
"No sign of force entry, only two escape routes - through that door where we came in and another through that balcony which is four storey high, sir.", says another gentleman. "So... our murder victim is a professional cat burglar and a killer now?", asked Graham.
"Inspector, would you take a look at this blood pattern here? What do you see?", asked Watson. Graham gave a short thought and answered, "Blood."
"A horizontal bloodline is formed and vertically, it is dropping downwards at least two centimeters apart.", explained Watson. Graham looked at Watson speechlessly, "What do you suggest?".
"It means that the killer sticks the weapon into their guts and pulled it out repeatedly - WITH ALL HIS MIGHT AND STRENGTH. A suggested murder with revenge or anger happened in here, inspector.", explained Watson further.
"But based on his profiles and witnesses, it suggests that Mr. Bowman was a good and friendly fellow, his enemies is just less than 2 finger counts. Business rivals?", asked Graham. "Inspector, would you take a look at this blood stains on the floor. What else do you see?", asked Holmes.
At this point, Graham is out of patience for this duos' guessing game. "Blood?", answered Graham in an uninterested manner. "The blood stains were dripping in a circular manner suggesting he is still holding the murder weapon, walking around, trying to calm and think what he should do next. Part of the circular blood stains are missing suggesting a few blood drops stained his shoe while holding the weapon, possibly might be a person the victim knew. Mr. Bowman opened that door and allowed the beast in - IN HIS OWN WILL.", explained Holmes.
Again Graham gives a deep thought and asked, "So... Do you have in mind who the killer might be, Holmes?".
"At this point, I already have. Only 70% but I need to check the surroundings, go through the evidence and of course, wait for the son to wake up. By then, all of my puzzles will be complete.", says Holmes. Graham disbelieve himself that he actually have to comply with Holmes in order to solve the case as at this point, Holmes already did what he can in 3 days - ALL IN JUST 20 MINUTES.
