Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock Holmes is in the [3] basement of the [-a] auditorium where he is using a 而 comb to fix his hair while thinking about a case he is on. A 女 woman pops out from behind one of the stored stage props and grabs his 而 comb and starts 耍 playing with it. Sherlock chases after the 女 woman to get his 而 comb back but she keeps on 耍 playing with him, running around and pushing over stage props as she laughs and taunts him, saying "Even something as elementary as getting a 而 comb back you can't do, huh?"
