After 1,5 years part 2 started, finally something happened what can actually bring the story forward. William James Moriarty being alive got revealed in the newspaper.
I wonder if the figure we see at the last panel, who is so happy for the news is behind it. (I would say most likely.)
Before the news is shown, the first thing we saw from the newspaper is an advertisement with "Revenge Hotel", it is surely not just a coincidence. It might be someone we saw before - but there are not too many characters on that list.
Since the figure has straight hair, if enough time had passed, the child who swore revenge against William is a very possible option.
Or Ruskin, if he is alive (though, he should have gone after Holmes, I think - except if he learned from his boss and wants to punish people through their loves ones)
If Ruskin saved him in time, Milverton can be alive, too, and attacking people with news, then watching the scandal is his method and he also likes that hand pose, but the hair and the lack of glasses don't fit. (Except if he, just like William, came up with a new look).
Or someone else. I hope the next chapter reveals it, but at least, things are finally in motion.
