Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments is an adventure mystery game. It's based on the Sherlock Holmes novel, which was a big hit. Still, there is a lot of fans for the mastermind Sherlock Holmes.
Here I am converting the game into a fictional story, there's plenty of moments which words can't describe. So I will be narrating the story with a little bit differently. The plot and incidents will be the same. Some dialogues and some other small stuff will be changed to make it a better one to read. This will be a series, where each post comes as each chapter.

The words in the book seemed some kind of unnatural, he was trying to get a grasp of it. All of a sudden Watson heard that sound, it started reflecting in the room. He's familiar with that sound, he knew that it was absolutely his mad friend, Sherlock Holmes. The book dropped from Watson's hand to the floor. He didn't mind it, he started walking towards the door and entered Sherlock's room.
His eyes were eager to find the reason behind this madness. He saw him, Sherlock's standing on the other side of the room, blindfolded the eyes. And there is a gun in his hand, the next moment he realised that it's aiming at him.
"Sherlock...
Sherlock..."
Waston started making loud noises to make him stop, but it wasn't enough to beat the sound of the gun. Sherlock continued shooting and bullets started passing through the room, Watson took a cover, he jumped to the side of the sofa. But he knew that it wasn't enough to reach Sherlock. He jumped once more towards the table in front of sherlock and took another cover. The next one was the hard one, he knew that. He jumped towards the side of Sherlock and grabbed his hand.
"Stop Holmes," Waston said with anger.
"Is that you Watson" It was firm words from the mouth of the great Sherlock Holmes. Even in the middle of this mess, he's calm. And his attitude turned down Watson from getting angry, then there was another sound. It's from the, they both expected one coming towards their room. Sherlock started sensing the person with all his senses, he knew who's going to come.
"Lestrade...
What is it this time?"
Sherlock enquired in a way he knows everything. Watson doesn't seem excited, for him all these Sherlock's attitude has become a normal thing. He just waited for Lestrade to reply, Lestrade always have something interesting to tell. Sherlock is still blindfolded.
"Black-Peter has been murdered", Lestrade said it and gave the full name of this peter guy.
"A sailor, most probably" Sherlock's reply doesn't seem clear to anyone.
Then at the same moment, Mrs Hudsom came into the room. They all have special kind of respect towards Sherlock Holmes. He knows more or he could deduct more than any other normal person. Then again Sherlock started speaking.
"Tell me more about Black Peter," Sherlock asked Lestrade.
Lestrade started giving some clear description of Peter. As Sherlock deducted he is a sailor, and had gone for Whale hunting and also had some investments. And yesterday he found murdered on his residence. Lestrade gave a short description of all the incidents.
And finally, Lestrade asked Sherlock to help him. Lestrade needs Sherlock there, he knew it will be the best thing he can get at this time.
"30 minutes", that was Sherlock's reply. He needed some time to get ready. Lestrade went out. Sherlock took the cloth around his eyes and looked around the room. It's a mess the shooting has caused. The whole hall is broken down, it looks like someplace just had a war.
Sherlock walked towards his room, the murder news gave some kick to his brain. It's some kind of drug for him to stay alive. It's what makes him go forward. These mysteries are the ones he cares more about this world. He wanted to solve all those mysteries. any mystery left is some kind of problem he needed to be solved.
Walking towards his room, it was all filled in his mind. He wanted to get out as fast as he can to solve the murder. He changed his dress, he needs something like a suit. So he picked one and looked around to find something that will also be helpful. He took a Map with him.
