The Vermilion Cipher DESTROYED | Final Confrontation | Sherlock Holmes Ch.10

Chapter 10: The Final Confrontation | Sherlock Holmes | The Vermilion Cipher

🔥 *THE CIPHER IS FOUND... AND HOLMES MAKES A SHOCKING DECISION* 🔥

Holmes stands in Professor Calloway's study at Blackwood Manor with the vermilion cipher finally in his hands—the genuine article. Years of conspiracy have led to this moment.

But Calloway appears in the doorway with a revolver: *"Gentlemen, I believe you have something that belongs to me..."*

What follows is deadly chaos. Li Chen emerges from the shadows. Gunfire erupts. Holmes tackles. Watson throws the cipher through a window to save it. Lestrade's desperate throw of a candlestick saves Watson's life.

Both conspirators are captured. The cipher is secure.

Then Holmes does the unthinkable—he walks to the fireplace and drops both the cipher and the key into the flames. *"Better that it cease to exist than that it continue to tempt ambitious men for years to come."*

The conspiracy is over. Justice will be served. Or is it?

*"If you believe this to be the end of our tale, you are mistaken..."* - Dr. Watson
