Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper Walthrough - Part 4 of 5 - Holmes's Experiments and the Dutfield Murder

Watson and Holmes stay in their Baker Street apartment for several weeks. Watson feels ill at ease. Holmes simply plays his violin. Watson complains of boredom, and he asks for Holmes to give him something to do. Anyone who ever pulled the same trick on his parents when he was younger knows that such tactics always backfire. Holmes asks Watson to find a butcher’s blocks and some pig’s heads so that Holmes may conduct some experiments.

Watson is now committed to seeing the process through. Head to Whitechapel. Enter the cobbler’s shop and ask about the butcher shop. It seems the butcher has taken ill because of his romantic indiscretions and his shop has closed. The shop gets marked on the map. Go to the clinic and ask the doctor what happened to the patient.

Isaac Solomonovitch reveals that the meat shop owner came down with a case of syphilis and decided to leave London for good several days ago. His partner, the cat food seller, sometimes runs the business for him and he might have the current key. He says that the cat food seller wonders around and he occasionally passes by the warehouse.

Walk out of the clinic and head towards the alleyway that leads back to Commercial Street. You will run into Big Danny. She is looking for customers willing to buy an entirely different kind of meat. As much as you may not wish to do so, you must talk to her to find out where Hardiman the cat food seller currently resides.

Learn that the cat meat seller lives at 29 Hanbury Street. This is the same location where Anna Chapman passed away. Use the map of London to get to the street. Hardiman issues his peculiar “beep beep” call before you enter the meat store here. Talk to him and found out that he broke the key for the shop.

He says that there is another key, but you must go upstairs to get it. Walk up the stairs and find the remains of the butcher’s work here. Find a small piece of the broken key. You need to find a simple blade, perhaps from a door that does not guard anything important. The outhouse in the backyard where you found Anna Chapman’s body contains a simple blade. Get the key from the door, and head back to Hardiman. Watson tells Hardiman to meet Holmes and him at the butcher’s shop in Wharfdale in about an hour with twelve pigs heads.
