This time, in The Dancing Men, Sherlock Holmes and Watson is going to solve a secret writing, that looks like a groups of dancing men, in order to solve the entire case. Mr.Hilton Cubitt, the client, describes that he found a note with "dancing men" and didn't realize what it means, so he showed it to his wife. But his wife, Mrs.Hilton Cubitt, became very pale and worried after she saw the note. Sherlock Holmes find it difficult to solve this secret writing, so he tell Mr.Hilton Cubitt to go home and see if he can get more sample of these little dancing men. Days later, when Sherlock and Watson went to Norfolk, where the Cubitt family live, they heard the tragic news of the death of Mr.Hilton Cubitt and serious injure of Mrs.Hilton Cubitt. Therefore, after a series of investigation, Sherlock found the way to solve this secret writing and decided to use this writing to make the criminal appears by himself. As what Sherlock expected, the criminal really shows up and said that he's actually the friend of Mrs.Hilton Cubitt years ago before she came to England, and said that the secret writing is invented by a gang organization in Chicago, America. The criminal said that originally, it was Mrs.Hilton Cubitt call him out to have a meeting and tries to bride him to leave her and her husband alone. But Mr.Hilton Cubitt found out and tries to shoot him, so he fight back, killed Mr.Hilton Cubitt and injured his wife. Also, he said that he's first meant to use these notes with dancing men to scared Mrs.Hilton Cubitt, since only the people in the Chicago gang know how to write and interpret it.

After finish the whole story, I found myself really like the way they wrote the dancing men secret writing. The entire story was full of intense and mysterious emotion, which I like to have these feelings while I am reading a story, especially the detective story!
