Features: The assassination of the French President. Holmes believes this is related to the remnants of Professor Moreau. He and Watson disguise themselves and come to Paris, joining an anarchist group, and gradually get close to the leader of the criminal organization. Holmes discovers that the group is trying to overthrow the French government. Just as they are gradually getting closer to the truth, Holmes' identity is exposed. Lord Hammerford left a peculiar will. He designed a series of puzzles and stipulated that either his grandson or Sir George Lewis could inherit his vast fortune if they could solve the puzzles. Unfortunately, the lord died too early—his grandson was only four years old when he passed away. The grandson's guardian approached Holmes, asking him to lend a helping hand. A series of strange incidents occurred in a famous church school in all of England. A student—son of the wealthiest man in Britain—was expelled for theft. Then, a teacher who never drank alcohol suddenly appeared drunk at midnight and jumped up and down from an eighty-foot tower. Watson accepted Holmes' and went to the school as a teacher to investigate. This time, Watson made a name for himself. Although he had never taught before, he won the trust of most teachers and students.
