THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES #17 The Circus Tragedy
While they were at the circus, Holmes and his group of four witnessed a trapeze performance. Coincidentally, another trapeze artist named Colin also fell during his performance not long ago and had been in a coma ever since. Feeling suspicious about the two similar accident, our great detective conducted an investigation and discovered that Orlando might have been poisoned and the prime suspect was the victim’s own sister named Alma!
As it turned out Alma and the comatose Colin were actually a couple who grew up together, and Orlando was the one caused Colin's accident in order to break up the couple. However, just when the police were about to charge Alma for killing her own brother, someone else at the circus tried to abscond, yet the same absconder willingly confessed to the murder as soon as he was caught.
Even more bizarre was when Alma and the absconder were both eagerly trying to take the blame, another man turned up at the police station and claimed he was the real killer. One man was killed and three different individuals had stepped up and confessed to the murder. Why were they so keen on taking the blame? How would Holmes manage to solve the mystery behind this murder case?

原來,艾瑪和仍然昏迷的哥林青梅竹馬,但奧蘭多卻涉嫌為了拆散鴛鴦而製造意外令哥林失手。可是,正當警方深信艾瑪殺兄之際,馬戲團中卻有人畏罪潛逃,但在被捕後又對殺人一事直認不諱。
更奇怪的是,兩人爭相認罪之後,又有人來到警告自首。一宗兇案竟有三人認罪,他們為甚麼這樣做?福爾摩斯又如何破解箇中謎局?
