Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One (Mother’s Love
The fate of Placido
- “I have agreed to help Sergeant Stark find out the fate of Chief Inspector Placido. He disappeared a few months ago, and this may be related to his latest case and a certain Beekeeper.
We get the KEY TO PLACIDO’S OFFICE, we head to the office of the senior inspector in the left wing.
Chief Inspector’s Office
Placido’s cabinet
We study the evidence in the office:
- “Police Chief’s note” on the table;
- filing cabinet (empty box and sign “Beekeeper”);
- a bureau to the right of the door (TOB-BOX, empty compartment for a revolver in a box (in concentration mode), a note in a newspaper).
DOCUMENTS – Chronicle, May 1877 at Inspector Placido’s office.
We mark “Plácido’s Cabinet” as evidence, in the concentration mode we examine the opened areas:
- fingerprints on a loosely fixed picture on the wall on the left;
- a stack of books on the floor;
- papers on old cases on the table;
- a thick layer of dust on the doors of cabinets;

We leave the site, go to the town hall of Cardona.
We pay attention to the newsboy – having bought a newspaper from him, we will receive the task ” Treasure hunt »
Note . Automatically opens the task ” Silence is gold ” in the “History of the Cordona” section.
We enter the town hall building.
At the entrance, Sherlock speaks to Ursula Oni, the town hall’s senior archivist.
We pass into the right wing, we go into the archive.

Select data:
Subjects – “Locals”;
Period – (“The British (1800s));
District – “Miner’s Redistribution”.
- “Of the property registered in this name, only the warehouse located at Clay Street, off Stevenson’s Bridge at Silverton, has not been sold.”
We ship to the address where the warehouse is located.
Chella’s warehouse
The true face of the beekeeper
We go to the warehouse.
We listen to the conversation of two men in the yard, choose:
- “Communication through trusted persons”;
- “Prints messages”;
- “No one saw him.”
- “Ordinary members of the gang do not know what their leader looks like. It looks like they never saw him in person.”
I’m going to the warehouse.
Warehouse cabinet key
We go to the warehouse.
We deal with bandits who do not need to be arrested. Get CHELLA’S OFFICE KEY. We pass through the lattice door, we rise to the second floor.
We enter the office. Gathering evidence:
- weapons in the box;
- desktop (“DIRTY NOTE”, skeins of yarn, “NOTE FROM P.”);
- stove (BURNED PAPER on the floor and fire in the stove).
Burnt papers
- “In an office in Chella’s warehouse, I found burnt papers. It might be possible to restore them.”
We are conducting a chemical analysis of the “Burned Papers” evidence.
Holmes manages to recover several fragments of the text.
Note from P.
Activate the note as evidence. We go down, we leave the warehouse.
We ask people, tracking friendly in the concentration mode.
- “They told me the apiary was west of Winns Street, at the northern end of Miners’ End. And they advised me to stay away from her.”
We get to the apiary .
Description of Placido
We turn to the man standing near the house on the hill.
Observation:
- hat on one side;
- right hand;
- holster;
- shirt.
We identify the man as Inspector Placido.
The fate of Placido
In a conversation, choose replicas:
- “You killed him”;
- “I have your ear”;
- “I want your revolver”;
“I will consider your request.”
- “I found out what happened to Inspector Placido.”
We return to the police station. We find Sergeant Stark in the room opposite Placido’s office.
We inform him: “Plácido is dead.”
Case is closed
“Mother’s Love” (continued)
We continue the passage of the main quest.
Return to Cordona
We set off in search of the Stonewood mansion .
Mycroft’s letter
Arriving at the place, we take out the “Letter from Mycroft” from the mailbox.
” Mind Halls ” – “My mother died of tuberculosis.”
Stonewood Mansion
Fragments of memories
We enter the estate. We go to the front door.
- “We were unable to enter through the main entrance. John suggested we look around the yard first.”
We go to the gazebo. Let’s look at Tree Joe.
Observations:
- handcuffs on the hands;
- head;
- wood and glass on the right;
- wooden sword on the left.
MEMORIES – “Accomplice”.
Memories of the past
We activate the evidence “Memories of the past.”
We turn on the concentration mode, look at the events that took place in childhood.
- “When I remembered what exactly the policeman was doing here, the door opened,”
MEMORY – “Failed arrest.”
Sherlock enters the house.
First day on Cordon
Consider:
- Mycroft’s red umbrella;
- hanger at the entrance;
- “Auction notice” on the column (opens a new case ” Empty House Story “);
DOCUMENTS – “Auction Notice”.
- luggage on the left;
- marks on the handrail of the stairs.
ITEMS – “Memories of Violet’s Death” – on a bench with an empty frame.
First day on Cordon
- “John asks to remember our first day at Cordon.”
Activate the memory “First day at Cordon” as evidence.
We enter the concentration mode, look:
- on a hanger;
- on a mountain of things;
- in a wheelchair.
Entering the retrospective mode, compiling a chronology of events.
A man hangs his hat on a hanger.
Mycroft turns to Sherlock.
Sherlock helps his mother up the stairs.
“The Mind Halls ” – “Not TB”.
MEMORIES – “The first day on Cordon”.
- “John offered to open our room. Looks like she’s upstairs.”
We rise to the second floor, enter the opened door of the bedroom.

Activate as evidence “Wooden Pen”. We enter the concentration mode, consider the handles of the cabinet .
Let’s open the box and see:
– a collection of notes;
– father’s tube (rotate until two active points appear).
- “I found a treasure.”
The argument with John is won.
OBJECTS – Seeger Holmes pipe.
We look at the toy balloon near the bed.
” Mind Halls ” – “Friendly Neighbor”
In the “Halls of the Mind” we draw conclusions:
“Friendly Neighbor” + “Missing Documents” = “Family Friend”.
“My mother died of tuberculosis” + “Not tuberculosis” = “Mycroft lied.”
Looking for a family friend
“There are no records of my mother’s death anywhere, but an old friend of the family lived on Cordon – an eccentric named Theodore Gilden. He lived in one of the neighboring houses near the Greek bridge. He had a big balloon in the yard.”
We get down, we leave the house on the street. We go to the right, focusing on the balloon in the sky.
We see a crowd of onlookers looking into the courtyard of the estate.
The passage of the quest “Mother’s love” has been postponed
Case: “Golden Cage”
Pogrom
- “I went to an old family friend and found traces of the recent pogrom. The gate was broken from the inside.”
We look at the torn and bent gate leaf – as if they were hit by a battering ram.
We notice a crushed vase with flowers – everything around is trampled,
We look through the chained gate on the right – the landscape, as if in paradise.
In the aviary behind the gate on the left we find a corpse.
Consider:
- inverted head;
- a belt from a dressing gown;
- broken leg
- missing little finger on the right hand.
- “In a closed enclosure for a large animal lay the corpse of a man. There is no little finger on the right hand. This is Theodore Gilden.”

We go deep into the aviary. We look:
- on the rope holding the balloon;
- on a rubber ball;
- on fruit in the depths of the enclosure;
- on a broken chain (chain, blood, trace on the left (in concentration mode), goad (in concentration mode)).
“The Mind Halls ” – “Gilden kept a wild animal.”
We enter the retrospective mode, we reconstruct the events:
The elephant grabs Gilden by the neck;
The elephant throws Gilden’s body to the ground;
The elephant leaves the yard.
” Palaces of the Mind ” – “A wall is broken at the barn.”
Elephant life (argument with John)
We take out the camera (E key), take a picture of the elephant’s footprint (LMB).
- “John reminded me of a newspaper article we read as children. You need to look in the editorial archive for issues ten years ago. The article was on the front page, its author is a science journalist.
We go to the editorial office of the newspaper “Chronicle”.
We enter the building. We speak with Yasemin Sertel, editor-in-chief.
We pass into the room on the left, activate the Elephant Life evidence.
Working with the archive
Period – “1870-1879”;
People are “Journalists”;
Section – “Editorial”.
DOCUMENTS – article “Lord of the Beasts” in the newspaper.
- “I found the right article. John was right, there is a lot of useful information about elephants here.
The argument with John is won.
Thick-skinned criminal
- “He escaped, but someone must have noticed him.”
We put on a police uniform, go out into the street. We activate the evidence “Thick-skinned criminal”. We return to the scene of the tragedy.
We speak with onlookers who continue to crowd at the gate.
- The elephant’s name is Goliath. Through the Greek bridge, he fled into the forest … “.
We are heading to the Greek bridge . We pass it, pay attention to the overturned cart . We enter the mode of concentration, look at the elephant footprint.
We follow the trail. We find a broken branch. The trail leads us to a pond.
We examine the robe hanging on a branch:

We return to Gilden’s house, open the front door with the found key. We go up the stairs.
Sherlock hears crying coming from the room. He enters the door, meets Theodore’s daughter, Imogen.
We speak with the girl.

Let’s go to the archive.
We search by criteria:
Subjects – “Entrepreneurship”;
Register – “Legal papers”;
Areas – “Old Town”.
Registration sheet for Gilden and Swift
- “The main purpose of the enterprise is to carry out archaeological excavations at the intersection of Bazaar Road and Arno Street outside the walls of the Old City in Cordon.”
We are heading to the intersection of Bazaar Road and Arno Street .
Archaeological excavations
Entrance to the excavations
The guard does not allow you to enter the excavation site. He can’t let us in without work clothes.
We listen to the conversation of two men near the excavation site.
Highlight phrases:
- market in the Old City;
- loyalty to the British;
- scar on the neck.
We go to the market in the Old City .
Market in the Old City
We buy a work apron from a clothing seller.
Use concentration mode to find the man with the scar. We find him standing in the center of the market. We are making a request. We declare that we are on the side of the British, and sing the anthem.
- “Aydın issued a permit, according to which the guard will now let him through to the excavation site.”
We return to the excavation site. We pass by the guard.
- “I got into excavations. The main thing now is not to get out of the role.
Archaeological excavations
Inspection of the excavations
- “Before inspecting the ruins, you need to talk to the professor.”
We go down below, under a canopy on the right we find a writing person.
We speak with Professor Swift, we declare that we are ready to get to work.
Consider:
- glasses (broken);
- Notebook;
- right hand (no ring);
- trousers (dirty);
- Elbow of the left hand (bruises on the elbow);
We make a conclusion.
“The Mind Halls ” – “Arthur has fresh bruises on his elbow.”
Arthur Swift’s research
We study the excavation scheme :
- photos on the left;
- excavation center;
- a note in the lower right corner.
Note. Pay attention to the description of the location of the statues in the magazine.
DOCUMENTS – note “Tomb of Titus Lemonius found” on the excavation plan.
Inspection of the ruins
We look under the canopy on the left:
- straw dolls;
- page of records on the box;
- tissue in a box.
DOCUMENT – record “The Conquest of Titus and Vitus” on a box under a canopy.
Trilogy “Basocology” (argument with John)
We go down to the lower level of excavations. Under the canopy on the left we find the final book of the trilogy.
DOCUMENT – The book “Sharp Pick” is on crates under the canopy on the lower level.
- “I found the final part of this tasteless trilogy.”
The argument with John is won.
Arthur Swift’s research
We listen to what the smoking man mutters.
Highlight phrases:
- “Helmet in the shape of a lion’s head”;
- “Closer to the coast”;
- “Someone pushed the statue”;
- “Twisted pedestal.”
Inspection of the ruins
We go up the stairs to the right. We look at the inscription on the tombstone.
We examine the overturned statue:
- a sickle in a broken hand;
- face;
- pedestal on the right.
- “It looks like statues will point to the location of the tomb. I will try to recreate the desired picture on a hill.
Entering the retrospective mode.
We arrange the statues as it says in the “Study of Arthur Swift”:
“Zephyr, the younger god of the wind, looking west with a basket of fruit in his hand”;
“Another female figure, looking east, personifies the wind god Evra”;
“Between them are the statues of Titus and his brother Vitus.”
“Titus had a lion’s head helmet and a sword, while Vitus fought with a sword and shield.”
- “I recreated the desired picture. Let’s see if the statues now point to the location of the tomb.”
We fix the evidence “Inspection of the ruins”, we go down to the seashore.
Interact with the active point on the right.
- “I found the tomb. While Mr. Swift is absorbed in the long-awaited discovery, you can look at his desk.
We rise, inspect Swift’s desktop:
- BOX WITH DARTS (rotate until an active point appears and pick it up);
“The Mind Halls ” – “Arthur has darts and the floor.”
- the book “Trunks and tusks”;
“The Mind Halls ” – “Elephants have mating season.”
- a notebook with a leather cover.
Arthur Swift catches Sherlock doing his job. He does not consider it necessary to continue to hide his name.
We ask the professor questions.
Presenting evidence:
“Project plan” – Arthur broke off cooperation with Theodore because he did not show enough interest in excavations;
“Footprints at the barn” – Arthur claims that the knife is not his;-
“Thick-Skinned Criminal” – Arthur believes the elephant was just trying to break free;
“Letter of Threats” – Arthur was surprised at how unrestrained Theodore behaved;
“Entrance to the excavations” – excavations will radically change ideas about the history of mankind;
“Arthur’s Darts” – darts are needed to fight rodents;
Trunks and Tusks – read a book to get to know the elephant better;
“Notebook with a leather cover” – writes down information about important events.
“The Mind Halls ” – “Hard Times”.
“The Mind Halls ” – “Everyone blames Goliath.”
In the “Palaces of the Mind” we draw conclusions:
“Partnership broken” + “Hard times” = “Arthur wanted to save the research.”
“The wall of the barn is broken” + “Arthur has fresh bruises on his elbow” = “Arthur could have hit the wall of the barn.”
“The wall of the barn is broken” + “Paul has a fresh bruise” = “The floor could have hit the wall of the barn.”
“Bosun’s knife” + “A wall is broken at the barn” = “Outsider”.
Automatic conclusion for selection: ” Arthur could have been at the crime scene ” and “Paul could have been at the crime scene.”
“Fatal Mutilations” + “Gilden kept a wild animal” = “Goliath the possible killer of Theodore.”
“Theodore threatened Paul” + “Theodore sent bandits after Paul” = “Theodore wanted to ruin Paul’s life.”
“It’s mating season for elephants” + “Everyone blames Goliath” = ” We need to find Goliath .”
Goliath hunting
- “During the excavations, I saw a fabric that would be suitable for a doll.”
- “Nautophone from the boat workshop is used to signal large ships. It will surely come in handy.”
- The “perfume” from Theodore’s office might be useful. If you extract pheromones from it.
From the box under the canopy on the left we take the FABRIC – it does not let gas through.
We leave the excavations, go to the boat shed of the yacht club. We pick up NAUTOPHONE.
Flavored bottle
We carry out a chemical analysis of the “Vial with an odorous substance” from Theodore’s office. We get PHEROMONES.
- “I extracted the pheromones, they will attract the elephant.”
Goliath hunting
We leave for the studio of Mrs. Nini. We speak with the hostess, sweeping the sidewalk.
- “Now I have a wonderful elephant doll. We need to fill it with gas from a cylinder that is in a shed in the Gildens’ yard.
We move to the Gilden yard. We fill the doll with gas.
Sherlock and the police are ready to catch Goliath.
We lure the elephant with four different sounds.
- “With a bit of ingenuity, we lured the elephant out.”
Dart in the skin of an elephant
Looking at the elephant
- scratches above the eye;
- left tusk;
- pupil of the right eye;
- a dart in the skin (rotate until two active points appear).
Dart in the skin of an elephant
We carry out a chemical analysis of the Dart in the Elephant’s Skin.
- “Inside the dart was strychnine … Most likely, the poison caused the elephant to have a fit of rage and a surge of strength.”
“The Mind Halls ” – “The Poison Dart”.
In the “Palaces of the Mind” we conclude:
“Fatal Mutilations” + “Poison Dart” = ” Goliath could have been provoked ” or “Goliath is Theodore’s possible killer.”
“Arthur and Paul have darts” + “Poisoned Dart” = “Both Arthur and Paul could shoot a dart.”
Automatically opens output for selection: ” Someone angered Goliath with a poisoned dart so that the elephant would get angry and attack Theodore Gilden ” and “Someone wanted to protect Theodore”.
We conclude: ” Theodore Gilden’s killer is Arthur Swift .”
Note . There are several options for ending the case:
- Blame the elephant, but ask Imogen to save him. The girl will sell the elephant to a stranger.
- Blame Paul and arrest him.
- Blame Paul, let him go and let Goliath be executed.
Blame Arthur and arrest him.
Blame Arthur, let him go and let Goliath be executed.
We change into a work uniform, we go to the excavation site. We blame Professor Swift, we make a moral choice.
Imogen thanks Sherlock for a job well done, but she is unhappy that he did not take care of the fate of the elephant. True, she herself gave that unfamiliar man. The girl asks to take her father’s things to disappear from her life.
Case is closed
