That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man.
We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. "You see," said Holmes to me, "I don't think she wants others to see the photo. But where is it? At her bank? No. Such a woman likes to keep important things herself. I'm sure it's in her house."
"But how will you know?" I asked. He said, "She'll show me. She'll have to."
Just then Irene's taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door and then another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. "How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt?" she called.
Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke-stick into the room. At once, the people in the street and in the house all began to shout "Fire!" very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me.
"Well done, Watson," he said.
"Have you got the photo?" I asked.
"I know where it is. She showed me," he answered.
"But why did she show you?"
"It's easy," he said and laughed. "You saw all those people in the street? I paid them to help us. It wasn't a real fight and the blood wasn't real. When people shout 'Fire!', a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or... a photo. Irene ran to find her photo which was in a cupboard in the living room. I saw it. But I did not take it. Tomorrow we will go to the palace and tell it to the King first. The King himself can take the photo from the cupboard. And then we will go."

那天晚上，福尔摩斯又换了一身衣服，还戴了一顶大大的黑帽子。他改变了自己的面容、头发——一切都变了。他成了另一个人。
我们一起走到蛇形大道。“你看，”福尔摩斯对我说，“我觉得她不想让别人看到那张照片。但它在哪里呢？在她的银行里？不。这样的女人喜欢自己保管重要的东西。我肯定它在她家里。”
“但你怎么会知道呢？”我问道。他说：“她会指给我看的。她不得不这样做。”
就在这时，艾琳的出租车到了。街上的一个男人跑去开门，然后另一个男人推了他一下。其他男人也在推搡、叫嚷，一场争斗开始了。艾琳被围在中间，但福尔摩斯跑过去帮她。然后他突然倒在地上，鲜血从他脸上流下来。艾琳匆匆走到前门，但她回头看了看。“他来帮我，真是太好了！这个可怜的人受伤了吗？”她喊道。
一些人把福尔摩斯抬进了房子。我在窗外等着，看着。然后福尔摩斯举起手，我把烟棒扔进了房间。立刻，街上和房子里的人都开始大声喊“着火了！”。房子里充满了烟雾。我走开了，十分钟后福尔摩斯来和我碰面。
“干得好，华生，”他说。
“你拿到照片了吗？”我问。
“我知道它在哪里了。她指给我看了，”他回答。
“但她为什么要指给你看呢？”
“很简单，”他笑着说。“你看到街上所有那些人了吗？我付钱让他们来帮我们。那不是一场真正的争斗，血也不是真的。当人们喊‘着火了！’的时候，一个女人会跑到她家里最重要的东西那里，她的孩子、她的金子，或者……一张照片。艾琳跑去拿她放在客厅橱柜里的照片。我看到它了。但我没有拿走它。明天我们会去宫殿，先把这件事告诉国王。国王自己可以从橱柜里拿走照片。然后我们就走。”
