Lord and Lady Duncan Live in Buckingham House. They have told the police that a valuable statue has been stolen. The police have not been able to solve the crime, so they have asked Holmes and Watson to help.

Holmes: Lord Duncan, can you tell me what happened?

Lord Duncan: We returned from the party at midnight and as we drove up to the house, the alarm started ringing. I jumped out of the car and went to investigate(調(diào)查). A person, just a little shorter than me, ran past carrying a large bag.

Holmes: How tall are you?

Lord Duncan: I am 1.8 metres tall.

Holmes: What happened next?

Lord Duncan: As the person ran past me, I hit out with my umbrella. The person fell to the ground but got up and ran away into the night. It happened so quickly.

Holmes: Lady Duncan, you must have hurt the thief. Dr. Watson, please test the blood that I found on these broken glasses which were left behind.

Watson: Holmes, I have made a drawing of footprints found outside the broken window. It looks as if our thief was wearing high heels(鞋跟). By the way, the blood sample belongs to Blood Type O.

Holmes: We have five suspects. Which one do you think is the thief?

Profiles of the suspects:

Suspect 1: the gardener, male, 47 years old, 1.8m, black hair, with a beard, Blood Type A

Suspect 2: the butler(管家), male, 30 years old, 1.68m, brown hair, with a scar, Blood Type O
