Sure lock holmes
The adventure of the six napolions part one crime or illness
It was not unusual for inspectlulustrad of scotland yard to spend the eating in our bigger street
Lodgings the great detective sherlokhomes welcomed these visits
Because they enabled him to keep up on everything that was happening at police headquarters in return homes was always ready to listen to the details of any case that was puzzling
Was strawed my friend could sometimes give lustrad a helpful suggestion without actually getting involved in the case on this particular evening
Lustrad had talked about the weather and the newspaper headlines
Then the inspector had fallen silent popping thoughtfully on his scar homes look keenly at him
Do you have any unusual cases
Right now asked hhomes
Oh
No mister holmes
Nothing at all
Then tell me about it urged homes
The straud left well mister homes
There's no use to ying that something is on my mind
And yet it's such an absurd business that i hesitate to bother you about it in fact
The case may be of more interest to doctor or asn't than to does it involve illness
I asked possibly insanity said the straud and a strange form of insatity
Too
There is a man with such a strong hatred of napolian
He's destroying every statue of the emperor
He sees home sink back into his chair
That's not a case for me
Exactly that's what i thought said the straud
But when the man comits burglary in order to break the status
Then the case bebesomething for the police not the doctor
Burglary home set up straight
This is more interesting
Let me hear the details
The straw took at as official nobook
He've refreshed his memory by glcing through his notes
The first case was reported four days ago at the shop of morth hudson
A dealer in pictures and statues
Hudson shop consisted of two rooms
The sales area at the front of the shop and the back room
That served as an office in stockroom
The sales cller had just stepped into the backroom for a moment
When he heard a crash from the front of the store
Haring out
He found a plaster bus of napolian lying in fragments on the counter
Where it had stood with several other works aart the clerk then rushed into the street
Several passorbiys said
They had noticed a man running from the shop
But the salescller could nether see the man
Nor find anyway to identify him
It seemed to be one of those senseless acts of vandalism
That occur from time to time
And that's how the salescller reported it to the police
The plaster cast was not worth more than a few shilings besaid the strad the whole affair didn't appear to be worth much investigation
The second case however was more serious and also more unusual
It occurred just last night
The straud said
That within a few hundred yards of more hudds and shop
There lived a well known physician naamdoctor barnacott
His residents and main office were in the same building
But he also had a smaller second office two miles away
This doctor bororcaut is an enthusiastic admire of namholean at his houses
Full of book's pictures and historical objects
Relating to eemor or explain the raud
A while ago
The doctor purchased two identical plaster cast of a famous bus st of napolean he plays one of bees in the front hall of his house and the other on the mental in his office
Two miles away
When doctor bornstaut came downstairs this morning
He was astonished to find that his house had been broken into overnight
Said the stroud nothing had been taken except the plaster cast in the front hall
It had been carried outside in dashed savaged against the garden wall
The broken pieces of the statue were found at the base of the wall homes rubbed his hands together
This is certainly very unusual
I thought it would interesting homes
But i'm not yet at the end of the story
Said the strad after working at his main office in the morning
Doctor barnacott was due at a second office
At noon imagine his amazement
When he arrived and found that a window had been open during the night
Broken pieces of the second bus were threwn all over the room
It had been smashed to bits
Was there anything to give you a clue about the person who had done the miss chiff holmes ked ked no said the raroud
Now that you have all the facts
Mister homes
What do you make of them
They are unusual admitted homes with the two bus belongto doctctbararcott identical to the one that was destroyed in more huts and shop
They were made from the same mold
Said the straud
What do you think of the case doctor watson anything can happen
When someone becomes obsessed with one idea
I said a person may appear sane in every other way
And yet become fixated on one subject or one person such as napolian
That doesn't explain this situation said holmes no matter how sucess this person was with napolian
How could he have known where the bus were well
How do you explain it
I asked him with some irritation
I don't attempt to explain it
Answered homes
I merely observe that there was a certain method in a man's ecentric actions for example in doctor borncocots front hall
Where a noise might awake in the family sleeping upstairs
The bus was taken outside before being broken at the office
Where there there was less danger of anyone hearing anything
It was smashed right words stood the stradan
I agree that the whole affair seemed absurdly insignificant when compared to other crimes
But homes was not yet ready to dismiss the case
When i consider that some of my most famous cases had the least promising beginnings
I don't dare to call anything
Trivial said homes you w'll remember watwatson how the drivel business of the abberneity family was brought my attention by how deep the parseally had sunking into the butter on a hot day
I can't afford therefore a smile at where three broken bus
The straud i shall be very much blliif you will let me hear of any any fresh developments
The next development came more quickly
And in a more tragic form
Than homes could have imagined i was still dressing in my bedroom
The next morning
When there was a tap of my door
Homes entered with the telegram in in his hand
He read it aloud come instantly one thirty
One pitstreet
Kensington love straud
What does it mean
I asked hearing into my jacket
I don't know they could be anything
But i suspect there are new developments in the story of the busts
In that case
Our vadal has begun operations in another part of london
Holmes turned to leave my room there's coffee on the table
Watson
And i have a cap waiting at the door
Little fox
