You are now at the entrance to the police station (signboard on the door). Go there as Holmes and Watson will follow you. When inside the go to the desk (on the left) where you will find constable Humphries. Speak with him about a copy of report of the last prostitute murder (click dialog option and it will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen). You will learn that the constable has lost his leather bag full of documents somewhere near the very bad looking pension. He will help you if you will find this bag. After finishing the conversation you will find yourself outside of the station.

Go to the bottom of the screen until you will leave the main street (Commercial Street - street names can be checked by clicking on the plates located on the corners of every building). Now turn right and then turn left after the first arcade.

Make two steps and go to the small courtyard (on the left) to reach the pension. Talk to the owner named Finley, who is clearing the pavement. He can help you but first you have to do something for him. A ramble named Captain is sleeping under his house and that scares his clients. Finley would be grateful if Holmes will be able to solve this problem.

If you want to obtain some information about the Captain's return to the police station (use map). Constable will inform you about the Captain's niece, who is living somewhere on the Commercial Street. So go back to the main street and go right. Holmes will automatically notice a women looking out of the window - this is a Captain's niece, Lucy. Talk to her. You will learn that her uncle is in a very poor condition, and his constant cough were too annoying for the pension owner and he decided to throw him away. In addition a cure was too expensive.

After the talk go away. On the opposite side of the street (at the corner) you will find your informer. Talk to him and you'll find that the Captain is at the end of Batty Street.

Run to the alley, where under the wall you will find a sick man. You cannot talk to him but click on him. Watson and Holmes will examine his condition. Conclusion can be only one: this man needs some medical attention. You must go to the clinic (in the right part of the map).

Go through the iron gate to the clinic. Inside talk to the doctor. You will get a medicine which will help Captain to survive few days more. Come back to the alley, Watson is waiting for you there (Map - Dead End, in the bottom of the map). Give a cure to Captain (click a cure icon in the inventory and then click on the patient).

Now you can return to Finley (Map - Low-class boarding house) and tell him that Captain's problem has been resolved. As a result he will give you a Police Bag. Now go to the police station (use map) and give bag to constable. Bag will automatically land on his desk. Police officer will tell you that you have to unlock the bag.

This is a riddle, in which you have you have to change numbers to put them in order from 1 to 6. So move knobs like this: bottom right x2, bottom left x2, bottom right x1, bottom left x2, upper one x2. Now talk to the constable about the report and you will receive item called: Documents - Preliminary Reports in the death of Polly Nichols.

After leaving the police station gentlemen will decide to go to the scene of Polly Nichols 'Murder. It will automatically appear in the right part of the map. Click on the new location and you will be moved there. Detectives will decide to investigate this area later.
