That would be one of the mysteries! You see, it all started aboard a steamship headed from Russia to England. [One sentence in and already he's getting his facts mixed up. This should be good.]
I myself was one of the passengers, having just solved a different case abroad. It was a long journey; one spanning many weeks. One day, we awoke to find that one among us had perished. It was a young Russian man. He lay dead on the floor in his cabin, with no one having born witness to his untimely death- or so it seemed. Beside him, a message written in a foreign language, the victim's own blood serving as the ink. The door had been locked from the inside, leaving it impossible for anyone to have left the scene of the crime. Yes, indeed, a locked room case! Thrilling, isn't it? The sailors serving on the vessel were at a loss for what to do and so it was that I, the Great Sherlock Holmes, began my swift investigation into this obvious murder.
