My father has been missing for many years, but he has received precious jewels one after another. When she received an appointment letter from a stranger again, Ms. Mostein, who was at a loss, chose to ask Holmes for help. This is the plot of Sherlock Holmes' The Signs of Four.

Ten years ago, 17-year-old Miss Mostan, her father Captain Mostan, disappeared. Before she disappeared, her father sent her a telegram saying that she would go back to London for her holiday and asked her to meet her at the hotel.

However, when Miss Mostain arrived at the hotel, she didn't see her father. Although miss Most called the police and went to see you, she found nothing.

She also asked her father's comrade-in-arms, Colonel Schulto, who replied that she knew nothing about her father's return to England.

Stranger things are yet to come. Six years ago, Miss Mostain received a box with a big shiny pearl in it. Since then, I have received a pearl every year. After identification, the pearl is priceless.

After that, Holmes examined some letters left by Miss Morstan and found traces of disguised handwriting.

After that, he looked up The Times and found an important piece of news. Major Schulto, the comrade-in-arms of her father mentioned by Miss Mostein, died six years ago.

After the appointment, the doubts were quickly solved by Major Schulto's youngest son. It turned out that Major Schulto and Captain Mostein accidentally got a box of jewels worth 500,000 pounds, but they had an argument about how to arrange it.

As a result, captain Mostain accidentally fell and died. Schulto was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quietly buried it with his servants. Pearls are sent every year to compensate miss mostan.

However, the truth of the matter does not stop there. Jonathan, Singh, Abdullah and Akbar were the first people to get this ill-gotten wealth. The four men signed their names as a contract and agreed to share the treasure with each other.

After that, four people went to the prison and told the guards Shurto and Mostein about the jewels. They found the jewels and secretly fled back to England, but after hearing that Jonathan had escaped from prison, they lived in fear for years.

Young Schulto was going to share jewelry with Miss Mostain. When he got home, he was horrified to find that his younger brother who was waiting at home was stabbed to death in the head with a knife, leaving the words "four signs" on the scene.

Holmes followed the clues at the scene and found the traces of two people. One is a man with a wooden leg, and the other is a short murderer with his toes parted. The smell of wood distillate was left at the scene.

Then, Holmes tracked down the murderer who set sail and fled through the hound. Jonathan, a man with wooden legs, intends to take the jewels and doesn't want to hurt anyone. However, the Andaman savage who was with him killed little Schulto's brother with a stinger.

Then, Holmes and Watson shot the savage who wanted to kill, seized the treasure chest and handed Jonathan over to the police.

The treasure chest is empty, and Jonathan, who is about to be arrested, would rather throw away the jewels than let others get them.

This depressing story has a simple ending. Although Miss Mostain didn't get the jewels, she got Watson's love, which was a surprise.

A box of jewelry, four signatures, behind which is endless greed. In the face of money, it is a test of human nature, and family friendship may deteriorate.

However, no matter how long the night is, the dawn will come and justice will never be defeated by evil.
