Dorian's expression visibly perks up. A blindfold? God yes. He gives Annie a wide grin before continuing.
"Once we figured out who the perpetrator was, Sherlock dug into some property records to find his most likely hiding place. The blackmailer, Alan Campbell, was most likely hiding out in some property he purchased before his supposed death—an abandoned theater. I snuck in the theater earlier that day, retrieved my portrait, and swapped it out for a similarly sized substitute. Under the terms of the blackmail, I was supposed to denounce Sherlock Holmes, in public, calling him a liar before shooting him. We went along with this little charade, though Sherlock made sure the police were in on it so I didn't get arrested. I fired my gun into the air instead while Sherlock, suspecting that our blackmailer's accomplice would want to see the crime happen, tailed her back to the culprit's hide-out."
It is obvious that given the opportunity, Dorian will continue talking as long as Annie wants him to.
