Main characters

• Sherlock Yack: Sherlock is the zoo detective who solves cases. Unlike Sherlock Holmes, he is a yak, and is terrible in playing bagpipes. He was once a student in a Shaolin-like Buddhist monastery led by an ancient vulture called the Ball of Purity, and took time to pass his test.
• Hermione: A young female stoat and Sherlock's apprentice. She helps him to find clues, suspects, and proofs. She doesn't like bagpipes, especially when Sherlock plays them, and she sometimes replaces Sherlock like answering the call and finding the culprit. According to Sherlock, she is the daughter of a friend of his.
