2020, July, 79 years after the death of Dr. John H. Watson, a couple of years later, in 1938, his best friend, detective Sherlock Holmes, died, however, John, unlike Sherlock, managed to leave offspring

–Yeah, so Amelia H. Watson... And what does "H."  before the last name?
–To be honest, I don’t understand myself
–Okay, do you have any distinctive useful features that will help a detective agency work, except that your surname coincides with the surname of a friend of a famous detective?
–In general, it does not just match, I am his granddaughter
–Not about this conversation
–Well, I have a well-developed deduction skill
–Can you demonstrate?
–How?
The manager thought for a while, then got up, and went to the shelf from where he took the file with the case, and put it on the table
–Recently, corpses began to disappear suspiciously often from the cemetery, the only thing that witnesses saw was a girl of short stature with green hair
–Who might need corpses from the cemetery?
–Some psychos, or something like that, in theory, the job will not be difficult, so a beginner like you, so confident in your abilities, should cope, will be a test
–I will try not to let you down!
Amelia took the folder, hurriedly packed herself, and left the interview room, after which she went home

Well, I, Amelia H. Watson, as you might already understand, the granddaughter of John Hemmish Watson, a friend of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.  I went ... Not quite in the footsteps of an ancestor, there is a doctoral education, but even so, I am more drawn to investigations.  Today, I was given a screening exam, and the documents of an intern in a detective agency, and I will put in all my efforts and find out who is still kidnapping corpses from the cemetery!
–Jenma*, I'm home
–Hello Miss Watson
"The Watson mansion", hmm ... Father was clearly more wasteful than grandfather, and obviously more proud of his, albeit not his, earned money ... But oh well, but spacious
Jenma, the maid of our family, the grandfather's wealth still keeps our family afloat, so my father continued his book activity, even if he wrote already fictional stories about Holmes, so we may well have a maid at the mansion.
–Do you need anything?
–Iced tea, as always
–Good
Jenma hastily left for the kitchen, and I went on to my room.
Having laid out the details of the case on the table, I began to actively study them.
Who might need corpses from the cemetery ... Moreover, there is no sequence between the abducted bodies ... Just random corpses from the graves, plus, the graves do not look like they were dug out, it looks like the corpses themselves crawled out of the ground ..  But ... Zombies don't exist, I hope
After a while, Jenma entered the room and put a tray of tea on the table.
“Is this ... your debut case in a detective agency?” She asked with interest.
–Yes, test
–About what?
–Unknown green-haired girl steals corpses from the cemetery
–I see, call me if you need help!
Jenma smiled sweetly and left the room
–Okay... unlikely I will go far, just by examining the documents, we need to act
She abruptly left the room, almost knocking the door off her foot
–Jenma!  I need a shovel and some essential clothing!  I'll be spending tonight at the cemetery!

*Jenma - in reality Amelia's, Gura's, Mori's and Kiara's producer.
