How do you know?
I saw it.
Well it might be
here somewhere.
No good looking
for it Lestrade.
The killer's got it.
Awe, there you are Holmes.
How about joining
us in the...
Take a look at this
body, will you Watson?
Body?
Great Scott.
How do you know its
murder, Mr. Holmes?
Murder?
Oh I say.
Who are you?
Major Duncan Bleek,
a friend of
Doctor Watson's.
What makes you so sure
it's murder, Mr. Holmes,
the door was locked?
Every attendant has a key.
Did you open this
door for anyone
during the last hour?
No sir.
Was the key ever out
of your possession?
It never is, sir.
It's on a chain.
Looks to me like
heart failure.
Any marks of
violence on the body?
None that I can see.
Seemed to of
missed this time
didn't you Mr. Holmes?
Possibly.
Still if it was
a natural death
it came at a very
convenient time didn't it?
What does this mean?
Star of Rhodesia,
it's gone.
You were supposed
to guard it.
My son employed you.
That's why I
left it with him.
Where is he?
I'm sorry Lady Margaret.
It's thoughtless of us
to
let you come in like this.
Do you have an
empty compartment?
Yes sir.
Then I think we'd better
if you don't mind
Lady Margaret,
please.
Poor chaps
mother I presume.
Yeah.
Well let's get to
the bottom of this.
Well excuse me Doctor.
Poor chap, he
was so young.
It's such a pity.
I have sent for the
conductor, Lestrade.
You'll want to talk him
and I've asked that
no one be allowed
to leave this coach.
Oh thank you Mr. Holmes.
Shall we use
my compartment?
Attendant?
Lock that door
and let no one go in
without my permission,
you understand?
Very good, sir.
Sorry old man,
official
police business.
Well that's all right
I'll catch up
with you later.
Are you looking for the
Scotland Yard,
Inspector, sir?
Oh why yes.
Right in there.
Thank you.
Come in.
Sorry sir,
no one's allowed to
leave the carriage.
Can't leave the carriage,
whose ridiculous
idea was that?
Scotland Yard.
Scotland...
You say we don't stop
until we reach Rugby?
That's right sir.
Good.
We'll have a thorough
search of the train
made before that time.
Find the murderer,
Inspector,
and you'll find
the diamond.
But we don't know
it was murder.
Consider the
facts, Lestrade.
Young Carstairs was dead
when the jewel was taken,
otherwise he'd of
put up a struggle
and there were no marks
of violence on the body.
Lf, however, he died
a natural death
we must assume
that the thief
happened to be on hand
just at the right moment,
which is outside the
realm of probability.
No Lestrade,
in this case,
nothing was
left to chance.
That's why I say
