Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon Page #5

has been with that

ideal in view.

I still offer it

to your government

but no one else will know

the secrets involved.

I have devised the plan

to guard my invention,

a plan as intricate as

the bomb sight itself.

If you imagined

for one moment...

Please.

I will not change my

mind, Sir Reginald.

I am taking the matter

into my own hands.

Just what do you propose

to do, Dr. Tobel.

I am sorry.

I cannot reveal

the details

of my plan for

the present.

Do you think that's wise?

I regret gentlemen.

I cannot change

my decision.

I shall work

independently.

Can't you persuade

him, Holmes?

But supposing something

should happen to

you, Dr. Tobel.

You know, there's

already been

one attempt

on your life.

And if Holmes'

suspicions are right?

Quiet, Watson.

There is no use

discussing it, gentlemen.

My mind is made up.

Scotland Yard

will redouble

the guard about

you doctor.

In fact we'll

quadruple it.

That is just what I do

not wish done, inspector.

That would only

draw attention

to my activities.

Good day gentlemen.

Just the same I'll have

my men watching him

every moment from now on.

No, no, Wait Lestrade.

We must not

offend Dr. Tobel.

We must remember that he,

as a citizen

of Switzerland,

is under no obligation

to give us his invention.

We must do as he asks.

Now don't you

agree, Holmes?

But sure, Sir Reginald.

I'm not officially

connected with the government

and I intend to

remain on the case.

Good, good.

That is if Inspector

Lestrade doesn't mind.

Not at all, Mr. Holmes.

We're always glad to

have you hanging around.

Thank you.

You can put those

away now, Lestrade.

Hoffner, I am

entrusting this to you

because first of all you

are a Swiss and second

there is no doubt in my

mind of your ability.

I am honored Dr. Tobel.

I have divided the

mechanism of my invention

into four units.

Each is meaningless

without the others.

You have delivered

the other three.

Yes.

No one but myself

knows the identity

of the four scientists

working on the four units.

Their names are not even

known to each other.

I think I understand.

From what you tell me

it will be easy to reproduce

the unit assigned to me

at any quantity you wish.

I knew I could

rely on you.

I will get in

touch with you

as soon as I have made

the rest of my

arrangements.

No, no, no.

The back door if you

please, Professor Hoffner.

Au vaus.

Au vaus.

Hello.

Yes, Lestrade.

Oh.

Very well.

What is it, Holmes?

Just as I feared.

Lestrade's men report

that Tobel is missing.

Missing?

Yes, I was afraid of this.

How long has he

been missing?

Practically since he

walked out of your

office yesterday.
