“The Second Stain” is a story from “The Return of Sherlock Holmes” by Arthur Conan Doyle. In this gripping tale, Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant detective, is approached by two high-ranking officials, Prime Minister Lord Bellinger and European Secretary Trelawney Hope, who seek Holmes’ help in a critical matter of national security.
A highly confidential letter, whose contents could incite international conflict, has been stolen from Hope’s dispatch box. The stakes are immense, as the publication of the letter could lead to war. Holmes takes on the case with his usual fervor and begins his investigation by questioning Lady Hilda Trelawney Hope, suspecting her involvement despite her denials. Utilizing his exceptional deductive skills, Holmes discovers the letter’s trail leading to Eduardo Lucas, a known international spy, who has been mysteriously murdered in his own home. Through a series of clever deductions and meticulous searches, Holmes uncovers the truth: Lady Hilda had indeed taken the letter under duress to protect her husband from a scandal. The letter was hidden in a secret compartment in Lucas’s home. Holmes retrieves the letter, ensuring it does not fall into the wrong hands, and returns it to the relieved officials. The case is resolved without public scandal, maintaining peace and stability.
