"Positive!" cried both detectives. "Then, of course, this blood belongs to a second individual—presumably the murderer, if murder has been committed.

Sherlock Holmes approached the body, and, kneeling down, examined it intently. “You are sure that there is no wound?” he asked, pointing to numerous gouts and splashes of blood which lay all round.
