Holmes: How tall are you?
Lord Duncan: I am 1.8 metres tall.
Holmes: What happened next?
Lord Duncan: As the person ran past me, I hit out with my umbrella. The person fell to the ground but got up and ran away into the night. It happened so quickly.
Holmes: Lady Duncan, you must have hurt the thief. Dr. Watson, please test the blood that I found on these broken glasses which were left behind.
Watson: Holmes, I have made a drawing of footprints found outside the broken window. It looks as if our thief was wearing high heels(鞋跟). By the way, the blood sample belongs to Blood Type O.
