NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CHISLEHURST MURDERS PART SIX

Call me a cab! Said Watson feeling a little breathless his shoulder was playing up and What the devil does He want me at the caves for. He grumbled. Seeing Holmes standing outside a pub situated to the right of the caves entrance he felt more cheery. There's a body! I called the authorities. Just wanted your expert opinion before they arrive and trample over the evidence. Are you wearing lipstick Holmes. Certainly not. Was his stout reply, he turned his head wiping his lips with a silk handkerchief. The body wasn't far in. My God looks like all the bloods been drained from him, nothing but skin and bones poor chap. Said Watson. How old would you say he is? It's hard to say, in this light but maybe thirty five or forty. Why? What's going on? All the victims are around the same age. The killer is near The body's still warm. Watson shone the torch into the victims moth and found tangled long red hair. Sherlock looked on in calm interest. Just as I thought. The same as the other's. Come on let's get away before the police arrive. There was two redheads in the pub garden you know Holmes I'm afraid I lost track of the big one, the small one seemed innocent enough, he smiled. She made her boyfriend a love potion. Really Watson and how can you be sure it wasn't poison? These poor victims all seem to have been poisoned. We must find this Alice girl fast. I believe she lives in the woods. Don't worry I have been watching her all week. Well you might have told me Holmes. They knocked on the cottage door there was no answer so they went round the back to the garden. Anybody home? Asked Watson in a loud voice. There was a raking sound and there was Alice tending her garden. She seemed annoyed. Yes what is it. Where's the chap you was with earlier? Patrick? she smiled. He went home. There were huge mounds of earth all over the large and rambling garden. Holmes raised his brow. What are these mounds? Just mole hills sir. Excuse me I'm rather busy. Bloody nosey people. Just go away don't I have enough to deal with. She thought.Have you got a phone number for Patrick we need to speak to him. No sorry He's just someone I met online. In fact he's married. She continued her raking. Watson felt that she was quite innocent and wondered why they were wasting time when the other redhead had escaped them. The pair returned after dark. Watching her leave for an evening out with a new man. Let's get digging. Said Holmes I have a strong suspicion that there's many bodies here.
