Last update: 11 May 2016

Holmes and Watson are talking about all things that they had learn separately. Watson will give the encoded message to Holmes. Now you have to decrypt it. Go to the laboratory desk and click it to activate the message.

A special board will appear, so click on the document icons. You will be sent to a appropriate tab in your equipment. Open two pages of the Spartaca Encyclopedia (these about cats and valerian). For each of them click "use as a proof". Leave the equipment and note that a special code has appeared on the board. Now you have to decipher some roman numbers.

So, the real numbers are:

XIV - V - XXIII

III - XV - XIII - XIII - I - XIV - IV

XIX - XXI - II - X - V - III - XX

XXIII - XV - XIII - I - XIV

IV - V - XII - IX - XXII - V - XVIII - XXV

XXIII - VIII - I - XVIII - VI - IV - I - XII - V

Now assign letters to the digits (use the hint given at the bottom of the screen). If in the column you will find two the same digits, simply assign appropriate letters to them. Click on the letters guessed on the basis of the hint and drag them to appropriate blank boxes on the top of the message.

Deciphered message: NEW COMMAND. SUBJECT. WOMAN. DELIVERY. WHARFDALE 17. So now you have the next location (use map to locate - Wharfdale Road; in the upper side of the map).
