Death Cloud Plot
After a few days of summer holiday, Sherlock discovers that his brother Mycroft has hired him an unusual America tutor named Amyus Crowe who teaches Latin. During their first lesson together Sherlock finds a dead body on the Holmes' estate and witness the same cloud surrounding the body that Matty had previously seen. The cloud was a swarm of bees. He detects a yellow powdery substance around the body and takes a sample of it. With Matty's help, he tracks down a warehouse which has links to one of the murders, and almost dies in the warehouse when the villains set it alight. Sherlock escapes the building, and determines that he must travel to Guildford and locate an expert in exotic diseases who might help identify the yellow substance. He, therefore, sets out with Matty and finds the doctor. A few days later Sherlock is lured to a fair, where he is kidnapped and interrogated by the unseen Baron Maupertuis until he is rescued by Matty and the pair go to his tutor's home. Knowing that the Baron has left his headquarters, Sherlock, Crowe, Matty, and Virginia determine to follow and locate the Baron.
They discover that the Baron is shipping a weapon from a London wharf, and after a series of chases, Sherlock and Virginia are kidnapped and taken to France by the Baron, and further interrogated. The Baron attacks Sherlock as Mr. Surd, the head henchman, attacks Virginia. The pair escape and meet up with Crowe and Matty and set out to stop the Baron from trying to destroy the British Army. They find an abandoned British fort built to defend against Napoleon and the French, where Mr. Surd and the weapon is at. Sherlock engages in a fight with Mr. Surd, and Sherlock kills him by shoving him into a beehive, resulting in multiple stings from angry bees. Sherlock and Matty throw pollen in the air, and burn down the fort. The fort collapses. Sherlock wakes up in a bedroom. He meets Crowe and Matty outside the home where they ate breakfast, and they discuss a few things. He glances outside the window and sees a man in carriage, presumably the Baron.
