Sherlock Gnomes Page #5

---

the most evil of the lot.

For years, Moriarty terrorized

the ornamental world...

Oh.

Until he met his match

in Sherlock Gnomes.

Suddenly he had

a worthy opponent.

Hmm.

And beating Sherlock

became his obsession.

So Moriarty began to play

his terrible game.

He would kidnap gnomes...

leave a trail of clues

as to their location...

and challenge us to find them

within 24 hours or he'd smash them.

He's gonna smash

our friends and family?

So, how do we stop him?

We play his game. For now.

We follow his trail of clues

and find the gnomes.

The 9 with

a crack in its leg.

Just as I remembered.

Curly Fu's Emporium.

Let's go 'round the back.

The next clue will be inside.

If you recall,

the last time we were here

it was a bit of a catastrophe.

Yes. I have a memory

of some slight unpleasantness.

Put these on

so we don't get spotted.

Now, just act natural.

I think that suits you.

Focus.

There, you see.

We're blending in perfectly.

I'm fairly sure

we've been spotted.

Her Highness, the Grand

Empress dowager Pom-Pom!

Empress Pom-Pom remembers you,

Sherlock Gnomes.

Oh, good, good.

- Not fondly.

- Ah.

Well, that's less good,

isn't it?

I see you got the orchid I sent to

apologize for our last encounter.

A gracious gift.

But you are not the one

who offended the Empress.

Sherlock is.

As such, I'm afraid

I must ask you all to leave.

Shake it, shake it, shake it.

Out, out, out!

He's very sorry.

Tell her how sorry you are.

I'm sorry that I wasted

my time solving your case.

Now, technically,

that was an apology.

Dozens of gnomes

are in danger,

so would you kindly step aside

and let me continue

my investigation?

No.

Please.

We just need

to take a look around.

It's very important.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let me explain.

Wait. I'm warning you.

Back off!

Guards!

Watson, you'll have

to fend them off.

I'm going clue hunting.

Right. Here we go again.

You help Watson,

I'll help Sherlock.

- Huh? Oh, great.

- You can handle it.

I was always more

of a dog person, anyway.

What are you looking for?

An assistant who

asks fewer questions!

Are you always

this rude?

That's a question.

A-ha!

That should not be here.

A clock is a terribly offensive

gift in Chinese culture.

How cryptic.

Ooh.

Classic Moriarty.

- A plane? Is that the clue?

- "NV."

All part of Moriarty's game.

Curious. A different pattern.

What's that supposed to mean?

Let me see that.

Miss Juliet,

you must trust me.

My methods

may be unconventional,

but I will find

your family and friends.

Um, we should go.

Other way!

Suction cups.

Paper lanterns.

That might work.

Gnomeo!

This way. Hurry up.

Watson, that lamp
