It seems that traces of the missing Wizard's blood and his spectacles were found in Hemsworth's secret studio.

In the end, his brilliant powers of deduction and the steadfast eccentric Sigerson Bell save the day. Soon, very soon, the world will come to know him as the master detective of all time.
