Journey upstairs to discover that Mercurio is not having a good day. With your new disguise applied, talk to the old woman who will give you the spare key. What you need to do is go to the market just down the street and buy the Bohemian outfit, the Messy Hair, Artist’s Stubble, and Artist’s Tan Powder to make yourself look like Marcurio himself.

You can try out various different ensembles, even the police outfit, but they won’t work.

You’ll find Boniface’s building midway down Hermes Avenue, but if you try to get in, you’ll be told in no uncertain terms that only residents are allowed inside. Sherlock Holmes Chpater One A Muse From Abroad - Mercurio's Apartmant You need to make sure that all of the places are taken up by the artist’s dummy, except for the figure by the stairs which is supposed to be Vogel performing the worst security sweep in history. With all the clues acquired, pin The ‘Undergallery’ evidence and you can start a reconstruction of what happened. Use your concentration on the blank wall (ensure you have The Vandalism of the ‘Undergallery’ pinned or it may not show.)
