Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper Walkthrough - Part 2 of 5 - Watson Investigates Whitechapel

 The policeman who walks into the Whitechapel station tells Constable Humphries that the Buck’s Row murderer has struck again at Cat Meats. The meat market is not in the Whitechapel District. It took place a quarter of a mile away. The location of the is 29 Hanbury Street. Use the map to get to the area. The game shows the time at 6:20 in the morning. As trivial as the detail seems, you must remember the arrival time.

Talk to the bystanders and policemen on the street before entering the building. Go out the door beside the stairs heading up and find the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street. The game follows the details of the murders attributed to Jack the Ripper fairly closely. The victim was a streetwalker who went by the name of Anna Chapman. Examine the blood on the fence, the wound in the stomach and the facial area of the victim. The cuts on the throat are jagged this time and go in roughly the same direction of those of the previous murder. You will find a bruise on the cheeks which let you know the hand used to strangle the victim. The tongue is swollen, as the previous victim's was.

When you get all the clues in the area, enter the conclusion board screen. This time the killer was left-handed, and the position of the blood indicated the victim had her throat slit while standing up. As with the previous murder, you will have to reenact the murder. She was strangled with the right hand and cut with the left, but her throat was slashed before she was strangled. (The murderer in this case is clearly right-handed.) An envelope containing a pill lies near the corpse. Pick it up.

 Holmes asks Watson to return to the Whitechapel after he reads another story in the Star. People in the Whitechapel had previously targeted the Jewish community for attacks. They thought Leather Apron was the murderer. The story in the Star puts and ends to the attacks. Return to the Cobbler’s House in Whitechapel. Ask him if the harnesses are ready. He gives them to you in return for the services you have provided. Take these prostheses and go to the clinic.

Doctor Gibbons readily gives you the cane, Select the pill from your inventory and use it on him. He tells you that such pills are often used to treat tuberculosis. Gibbons tells you something about the nature of the employment of Anna Chapman. Go back to the brothel. The brothel's mistress tells you that Anna was a little older than most of the girls that worked under her. She tells you about a man named Squibby and a person named Bluto who were last seen at the Wasp's Nest Pub. She ties the two to the Doctor Tumblety, the person for whom you have been searching unsuccessfully. She also asks to tell the artist that she has a surprise waiting for him upon his next visit.

The map now shows the location of the Wasp’s Nest. It is near where you found the Captain earlier. Walk inside and talk to the waitress and then the bartender. They tell you about a man hiding in the bar who may know the location of Tumblety. He also complains about a journalist who might not pay him anything. Walk over to the journalist. Talk to him to find out he is missing his red ink. Walk to the back of the bar and find a bottle of ink with the dishes. Return it to him and then go back to the bartender. You will pay him the guinea the journalist owes the bartender and the bartender will let you speak to Bluto as a reward.
