小编精挑细选的优选读物《一本书读懂福尔摩斯》，轻松有趣令人手不释卷！(8)

福尔摩斯发现了一个值得注意的人，雨果·奥伯斯坦，一个在卡多根·韦斯特死后匆匆离开的人。福尔摩斯和华生偷偷潜入奥伯斯坦空着的家，检查了窗户，发现有污垢和血迹，一辆地铁正好停在了窗户下方。像之前他们做的那样，把一个尸体放到列车顶部是很容易的事情。他们还从《每日电讯报》的寻人广告栏上发现了一些暗示商业交易的信息，署名都是“皮埃罗”，这让福尔摩斯有了新的想法。他在《每日电讯报》上贴了一个类似神秘的要求见面的广告，署名“皮埃罗”，希望那个贼——如果不是卡多根·韦斯特的话，会出现。广告确实奏效了。瓦伦丁上校出现并承认盗窃了计划，但是他发誓是奥伯斯坦杀死了卡多根·韦斯特。
Colonel Valentine redeems himself somewhat by agreeing to write to Oberstein, inviting him to come back to England for the fourth, vital page. This ruse also works, and Oberstein gets 15 years while the missing pages of the Bruce-Partington plans are recovered from his trunk
瓦伦丁上校同意写信给奥伯斯坦补偿自己的过错，他要请奥伯斯坦回英国取重要的第四页。该计策也成功了，布鲁斯-帕廷顿潜水艇计划从奥伯斯坦的行李箱中找回，他被判了15年徒刑。
●An Excerpt of The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans 《布鲁斯—帕廷顿计划》的摘录
A minute later we were both in the area. Hardly had we reached the dark shadows before the step of the policeman was heard in the fog above. As its soft rhythm died away, Holmes set to work upon the lower door. I saw him stoop and strain until with a sharp crash it flew open. We sprang through into the dark passage, closing the area door behind us. Holmes led the way up the curving, uncarpeted stair. His little fan of yellow light shone upon a low window.
