Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son
It talks about kidnapping. The government minister sent his child, Arthur, to the school. A few days later, not only Arthur disappeared but also a German teacher did. The detective, Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Watson, started to break the case.
They found two tyre marks and some footprints. After that, they discovered the teacher was killed. Finally, they collected all the clues and found the kidnappers were the general minister and his secretary, and the child was at an inn near the school. However, the minister talked to the Sherlock that the secretary was actually his illegitimate child. The secretary was jealous of his step brother and kidnapped his brother. After the case, the secretary went to the Australia and the Arthur went back to his home.
I think the secretary, Wilder, was just jealous of his step brother, Arthur, and didn’t want to hurt his step brother. If I were Wilder, I would also be jealous of Arthur, because he could have everything. He could have a name, horses, and money, but Wilder was just his father’s secretary. In conclusion, all the event was actually caused by the minister who had his boy near him.
