The body lies gutted in the center of the room, and green blood is splattered on the floors and walls. On one wall the word "Rache" is written in the victim's blood, which the detective proceeds to examine. Lestrade assumes that the victim was writing the name "Rachel" |

| Rache? | |
|
| I think the victim wants to write a name Rachel | |

He deduces from the green colour of the blood, the number of limbs on the body, and the nature of the eyes that the victim was clearly a royal, likely a prince of a German state. |

|
| The victim's name was Prince Franz Drago of Bohemia. | |
