A strange illness was spreading in a small fishing village, causing the cats in the village to go mad then jump to sea en masse. A reporter from The London Times came to the village to probe into the case, but he had gone missing afterwards without a trace. However, a newly bought felt hat and five brand new thermometers still in their packaging were found in the reporter's home. When Holmes and Watson arrived at the village, they discovered that the village's children were also showing strange symptoms! At the same time, a fishing boat had pulled a dead body from the sea, and a thermometer
was found on the dead body!
After some thorough investigation and meticulous deductions, our great detective was finally able to establish a lead from the thermometers and the felt hat. Just when the clues were becoming more apparent, the owner of the local business enterprise used his powerful influence to manipulate the law to his advantage, making it impossible to arrest the real culprit. Would the evildoers actually get scot-free?
