As soon as the guy stepped out of the room, the door of Mary's guest room swung open.
"You took way too long! Again. Don't you know how incredibly boring it is to just sit in there and wait for you to finish? And you seriously need to speak louder. I don't understand a thing you say", said Sherlock impatiently.
"You are of course aware that we tape everything so you get to hear everything we say now?" John sighed. "And just so you know, the last time we ended earlier you complained that we didn't ask the important questions."
"Oh, John. I could give you all the time in the world and you would never ask the important questions. Now let me see."
Sherlock squeezed himself between John and Mary, who were sitting on the couch, and pressed the play button.
The screen shows a man in simple clothing, probably in his forties. His shoes traces of dirt stuck to them. His trousers are sewn in some places, and his hands are rough and strong.
"You brought a farmer?", Sherlock asks. "Farmers are dull."
"You are of course aware that we are doing all of this as a favor to you?", asks Mary. "I think your brother is very right that you should focus on finding out what is going on with Moriarty."
"I am doing that", Sherlock insists. "If Moriarty really is around in some way, this is how we find out."
The man in the tape starts to talk about his cat being poisoned. "I have to admit, I don't see how a pet killer would work with Moriarty", John remarks sarcatically.
"Patience, John."
"I brought Betty to my vet, but - she couldn't tell what's wrong." Tears show in the farmer's eyes. "Three days later, she died."
"Which veterinariy surgeon did you go to?", asks John.
"Really?" Sherlock exclaims in disbelief. "Of all possible questions, you chose that one?"
"Dr Gorman", says the farmer.
"Stop the tape!" Sherlock commands.
"What's the matter?"
"I know Dr Gorman. She... helped me with a few cases some time back. If she could not figure out what Betty's problem was - then this might be interesting. Let's go."
