The main content of Sherlock Holmes: The Red-Haired Club. About two hundred words

In the autumn of 1890, Dr. Watson visited Holmes and learned about the strange things about the red-haired pawnshop owner Jabez Wilson. Two months ago, Jebbets' pawnshop owner, Vincent Spaulding, told him the story of the redhead society.

The Red Hair Club was established according to the will of a red-haired millionaire in the United States, using the interest from the inheritance to give the red-haired man a comfortable job. So as long as you are selected, you can do very little work and receive an annual allowance of two hundred pounds.

For the next two months, Jabez copied carefully, finishing almost every word. But when he went to work on Saturday, he was shocked to find a card pinned to the door saying "The Redheads have been disbanded" and then discovered that the Redheads' address and name were also forged, leading him to seek help from Holmes. .

Holmes contacted the head of the bank near the pawn shop and Detective Jones of the Metropolitan Police Department. At midnight, Jones was waiting in the bank's vault. When Vincent (actually the repeat criminal John Clay) walked from the pawn shop to the tunnel of the bank, he caught him and his red-headed accomplice, the leader of the red-headed society.

Holmes' reasoning process:

Holmes said that from the beginning, he thought that the redhead would advertise and copy the encyclopedia for two hundred pounds a year. His strange mission was just to get the pawnshop owner to leave his shop for a few hours every day, and it was his friend Vincent who told the boss about the Red-Haired Club. Considering Vincent's behavior of asking for half pay, taking photos, and entering and exiting the basement, he suspected that the men were digging tunnels.

During the meeting with the man during the beating on the sidewalk, Holmer observed damage to the knees of the man's pants, thus confirming his theory. The dissolution of the Red-haired Society is a signal that the tunnel has been basically completed. In order to succeed and escape before the tunnel is discovered, Saturday night is the most likely time for the prisoner to choose.
