 I read "Sherlock Holmes and the Duke's Son" written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

And Heidgger dies because someone hits him very hard on the head. A boy can't do that, so there was someone with the boy - a man, let's say.

There are many charcters in this story. They are Holmes, I (Watson), Dr. Huxtable, The Duke and his sons. 

 Dr. Huxtable has a very famous school in England for boys. The students are from good family, so their parents are goverment minister and so on. One day, one student and teacher had disappeared from Mr. huxtable's school. Dr. Huxtable expected that someone has kidnapped the Duke'a son, Arthur. So. he came to Holmes to ask help. But, it was very difficult mystery to solve even though he is a famous detective because the three days past from this case happened. He collect many infromation about the situation at that time, the Duke's family relationships and geographical features around the school. The more information they got, the more mystery they experienced. While they were struggling to solve the case, Holmes and I (Watoson) go to many places to see and find the clues directly. 

 First, they start to serach from the shool. There were footprint, and the information was the teacher ride on the bicycle. Following the footprint, the blood and the certain kind of tyre, Holmes thought that they might went to the Moor. As he expected, there were some new information. And at last, he and I(WATOSON) found the dead man, the teacher. There was blood from his head and the proof that he rode on the bike, so he expected that there were someone other than Arthur, because it was impossible for child,Arthur, to kill a man.

 When they went to the next place, Green Man Inn, they met a man called Reuban Hayes. As soon he heard the news about kidnapping from Holmes, his face turn into white, then red. Holmes thought asked him to lend bicycle, but he said that there were only two horses. From his words and face, and the strange cow tracks, he came up with new hypothesis. After soon, his hypothesis turned into conviction when they saw someone rode on horses and went away. The Next day, Holmes and I (Watoson) visited the Duke's house, and told his conviction to the Duke. It was very unbelievable things and the result caused by Complex Circumstance.

   After reading this book, I felt it took me long time to understand the story although the English was used bu changing into easier English. Maybe it is first time to read the series of "Sherlock Holmes", so I thought this story was interesting as I have heard. Holmes was smart man, but Watson was also necessary as well to lead the solving the mystery. I like the detective story or the story based on the case. So, I feel like to reading other story from a series of Sherlock Holmes.
