On November 5th last year, I killed Lord Windermere, behind the Bank of England. What’s your alibi for that night? What were you doing? I guess you were reading newspapers at your gentlemen’s club or playing the violin at home.

On April 1st, I killed three barmaids in Whitechapel, between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. and left their bodies inside the Tower of London. What’s your alibi for that morning? Were you doing some chemistry experiments in your laboratory or were you having your early morning walk around Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill?

On March 17th, I kidnapped Miss Penniless just before 10 p.m. near Charing Cross and strangled her in front of your flat in Baker Street, but you didn’t hear anything. Maybe you were smoking your pipe or playing chess with Dr Watson.
