And Argus is Odysseus' dog, right? The one that waited twenty years for Odysseus to come home and died right after he saw him.

Spoiler tags are only for chapters which haven't been released by dctp yet.

I don't mind being spoiled actually thank you very much!

You are definetly not the person we do these spoiler tags for. If they annoy you, just wait till the chapter is released.

Better safe than sorry, guys. Use spoiler tags to make sure it isn't spoiled for anybody else.

Ai doesn't even know Hakuba -.-

Anyways that women doesn't look like Shiho so I doubt it's her

[Bamboo]

Yes, it definitely would be weird without Ai.

Spoiler:

I'm hoping for some BO here. Even Okiya would be nice. If that woman was Okiya, it'd knock us off our feet.
I'm still saying that it's most likely Vermouth or Yukiko. But we know Gosho; he can be unpredictable.

And I thought the speaking with Kogoro's voice BEFORE darting him was overdoing it... How in heck this plan works is beyond me. Ran better get her suspicion engaged full tilt after this.

Spoiler:

No answer concerning the mysterious woman, the case finally seems to progress though. And there was blood !

[Chekhov MacGuffin]

It looks like my building guesseswere definitely in the right direction! This may be the first wordplay I don't foul up completely! And by saying that I know I have cursed myself to abysmal failure!

So... ANT anyone? All the items seem to be in two parts which is probably a hint in and of itself. The items seem to have to do with things in their respective stories, but I wonder if they also have to do with other stories as well to form a hint chain with one hint pointing to the next and so on. The grating with the moat and drawbridge in The Valley of Fear, the pen with the writing of the dancing men code in The Adventure of the Dancing Men, and the doll with the wax dummy used to trick the criminals in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone.

The A is on a grating and was tied to a rope on a light post to dangle in the river off the Westminster bridge. The hole it covered was titled "the valley of fear". There is an arrow on the Big Ben side of the bridge pointing to the grating which is on the London Eye side of the Bridge.

The N is on a scratched up double-sided pen (two pen ends or is one the eraser?) with the "dancing men" written on it. The caps fit together to make the "N", but it could be a "Z" as well if you turn it sideways. I don't know where it was found. Abs. edit this post with proper location, please?

The T was a creepy doll with sunglasses. It's head was pulled off to reveal the T on its neck. The doll had "Mazarin Stone" written on its chest. It was found at the City Hall.

I wonder if there are more letters since there are more clues?

The first solution that came to mind is "Athena". A which is closest to Big Ben would get repeated twice, once at the beginning and the end per the riddle's ringing bell being the first and second to last lines, and because Athena has A, N and T in it. It seems a bit simplistic though because it ignores the Sherlock part and the mysterious items' meanings.
