☆How did it start?
An ancient family believes they are cursed by a monstrous hellhound that appears in the moors.

☆How long did it take?
Several weeks.

☆What happened?
At first it seems like a supernatural case.
Holmes, however, suspects there is a human explanation.
After a long investigation, he discovers that someone is using the legend of the demon dog to scare and eliminate an heir.
The "monster" turns out to be a real dog that had been made to look terrifying.

☆How did it start?
Holmes has spent years gathering evidence against Professor Moriarty.
When he is about to destroy his entire criminal organization, Moriarty decides to confront him directly.

☆How long did it take?
Months of investigation and pursuit.

☆What happened?
Holmes and Watson travel across Europe while trying to escape Moriarty's men.
Finally, Holmes and Moriarty meet at the famous Reichenbach Falls.
After a confrontation, both fall into the abyss... or so it seems, but Holmes survives.

-How does it begin?
A famous racehorse named Silver Blaze disappears just before an important race. Furthermore, the trainer is found dead.
The police are completely baffled.

☆How long did it take to solve it.
A few days.

☆What happened?
Holmes pays attention to a seemingly insignificant clue:
A dog that didn't bark during the night.
If the dog remained silent, it meant that it knew the person who entered the stable.
He finally discovers that the trainer died accidentally during an attempt to manipulate the horse to alter the outcome of the race.

how it begins.

☆A young woman named Helen Stoner visits Holmes in a state of terror. Years earlier, her sister had died mysteriously in a locked room. Before dying, the victim managed to utter a few strange words:
"The polka dot band!"
Now Helen is being moved to that same room and fears she will suffer the same fate.

☆How long did it take to solve it?
Approximately one or two days. Holmes investigates the house, examines the room, and spends a night keeping watch.

☆What happened?
Holmes discovers that the culprit was the girls' stepfather, who used a poisonous snake trained to enter through a secret ventilation shaft at night.
•When Holmes scares it away, the snake returns and ends up attacking its own owner.

Victorian England, during the reign of Queen Victoria.
☆ What was London like in 1881?
The city was huge, noisy, and growing rapidly. The streets were full of horse-drawn carriages. There were no cars. Electric lighting was just beginning to appear; many streets still used gas lamps. It was common to see fog mixed with coal smoke from factories and homes. At night, some areas of London could be quite dark and dangerous.

☆Everyday life
Victorian society was very different
Men used to wear hats, vests, and long coats.
The women wore long dresses and corsets.
Etiquette and good manners were very important.
The differences between rich and poor were enormous; just a few streets away from elegant mansions, one could find extremely poor neighborhoods.
-Science and technology
It was a time of great discoveries.
The landline telephone had been invented a few years earlier, trains connected much of the country, photography existed, although it was much slower, and medicine was advancing.
☆Criminal Investigation
This is where Holmes excels.
In 1881: There were no computer databases, there was no DNA analysis, fingerprints were not yet routinely used in British investigations.
-Communication was much slower: That's why Holmes's observational skills seemed almost magical to many people.
☆The world at that moment
The United Kingdom was one of the world's greatest powers and controlled a vast colonial empire. International trade, steamships, and railways connected places that had once seemed very far apart.

☆London in 1881: you would see a city of brick, smoke, horses, gas lamps, and streets damp with fog.☆

Sherlock Holmes' logic is probably his most powerful tool.
Holmes viewed the world as a chain of cause and effect. While other people observed an isolated event, he wondered: What caused this?
What evidence did it leave behind? What explanations are possible? Which ones can be ruled out?
His reasoning is based on gathering data before drawing conclusions.
-The art of observing
Holmes distinguished between "seeing" and "observing".
For example, many people had climbed the stairs in his house hundreds of times. Holmes could ask them how many steps there were and they wouldn't know. They had seen the stairs; he had observed them.
-Eliminate the impossible
Its most famous principle is:
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
-The idea is simple:
Imagine an object disappearing from a locked room: If no one could enter through the door... If no one could enter through the window... If there is no secret passage... Then we need to review our assumptions, because one of them must be incorrect.
☆Knowledge + reasoning
Logic alone was not enough.
If Holmes saw an ash on a carpet, he could recognize what kind of tobacco had produced it because he had studied that subject.
His method was:
Observation + Knowledge + Deduction = Conclusion
• Patient thinking.
Sometimes: Investigates for days, Gathers more evidence, Reflects while playing the violin, Changes hypotheses when new data appears.
Much of what Holmes calls "deduction" would be considered today a mixture of: Observation, Inference, Probability, Inductive Reasoning.
For example, if you see mud characteristic of a certain area on a pair of boots, you conclude that the person was there recently.

• How he viewed clues: For Holmes, a clue was rarely important on its own.
  Imagine that you find:
  A broken button.
  A partial footprint.
  A burned letter.

Yes. Although Sherlock Holmes doesn't usually hate people personally, he does have several enemies.

Professor Moriarty: his greatest enemy
Moriarty is a criminal genius. Holmes describes him as the mastermind behind a vast network of crimes.
Why is it so dangerous?
He has an intelligence comparable to Holmes's.
Plan everything well in advance.
He rarely gets his own hands dirty.
He manipulates others to commit crimes.

Holmes considers him the most formidable adversary of his life.

•Arrogant criminals
One thing Holmes particularly detests is criminals who:
They think they're smarter than everyone else.
They abuse innocent people.
They use their power to harm others.

•Incompetent police officers
Holmes sometimes despairs of some members of Scotland Yard.
Not because I hate them, but because:
They jump to conclusions.
They ignore important details.
They cling to wrong theories.

Even so, he acknowledges that detectives like Inspector Lestrade usually work hard and have good intentions.

•Charlatans and frauds
Holmes has little patience with:
Scammers.
Fake experts.
People who deliberately deceive others.

His love for facts and evidence makes him suspicious of anyone who bases their claims solely on rumors or superstitions.

○ Irrational people
He doesn't usually get along well with those who:
They ignore the evidence.
They refuse to listen to reason.
They act impulsively without thinking.

For Holmes, logic is almost a language of its own, so he can become frustrated when others are driven solely by emotions.

Although he doesn't seem like a very sociable person, he has deep bonds with a few people.

☆ John Watson: his best friend

Watson is:
His adventure partner.
His confidant.
His closest friend.
The one who best understands his personality.

•Mycroft Holmes

His older brother, Mycroft Holmes, is one of the few people whom Sherlock considers intellectually equal or even superior.

However, their relationship has an almost friendly rivalry tone:
They respect each other a lot.
They challenge each other intellectually.
They are not particularly affectionate.
Both have reserved personalities.

☆ Mrs. Hudson
Mrs. Hudson is the owner of the house where Holmes lives.
Although Holmes rarely shows it, he cares for her deeply. Mrs. Hudson tolerates his chemical experiments, his odd hours, and the constant arrival of clients and police officers.

☆ Irene Adler

The most famous woman associated with Holmes is Irene Adler.

Holmes admired her because:
He was extremely intelligent.
He managed to deceive him.
He earned their respect.

Holmes usually refers to her simply as "the woman".

☆ Scotland Yard Inspectors

Holmes frequently works with detectives such as:
Inspector Lestrade
Inspector Gregson

Sometimes he criticizes them for making mistakes, but he also acknowledges their efforts.

Holmes insists that everything is based on observation, knowledge, and reasoning.

-His greatest talent: deduction
•Holmes can observe small details and come to surprising conclusions.
For example, upon seeing a person, one might deduce:
His profession.
Whether she is right-handed or left-handed.
If he has served in the military.
His recent habits.
Their economic status.

-Extraordinary observation
•Holmes constantly trains his ability to observe. While another person sees muddy boots, he can notice:
The type of mud.
The region he comes from.
How long has it been dry?
The way the person walks.
For him, every detail tells a story.

• Specialized memory

Holmes doesn't try to learn everything. He prefers to fill his mind with information that is useful for solving cases.
He knows a lot about: Chemistry, Medicine, Tobacco and ashes, Types of soil and mud, Criminology, Writing and forgeries.

• Forensic sciences
  Long before forensic science was commonplace, Holmes was already analyzing:
  Footprints.
  Blood stains.
  Textile fibers.
  Chemical residues.
  handwriting

• Master of disguise
  •One of his most impressive skills.
  Holmes can transform into: Old people, Sailors, Beggars, Merchants, Common workers.

Sometimes even Watson can't recognize it.

☆Acting and deception
It not only changes appearance, it also modifies:
His voice, his posture, his way of speaking, his expressions.
He's practically a professional actor when an investigation requires it.

• Physical combat

Although many adaptations portray him only as an intellectual, Holmes knows how to fight.
Practices: Boxing, Fencing and Baritsu.

☆Violin☆
When he tries to solve a complicated mystery, he often plays the violin for hours; music helps him organize his thoughts.
☆His method for solving crimes
Observe carefully.
Gather all possible data, Eliminate impossible explanations, Analyze what remains, Reconstruct the facts step by step.
Confirm your hypotheses with evidence.

○Extremely intelligent.

Holmes analyzes the world as if it were a giant jigsaw puzzle. While most people see a scene, he sees hundreds of details: a stain on a sleeve, a way of walking, a mischosen word. His mind connects these pieces with astonishing speed.

○ Reserved and not very expressive
He doesn't usually show his emotions openly. He may seem cold or distant, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about people. He simply prefers logic over feelings when solving a problem.

○ Curious to the extreme
If something piques his interest, he can dedicate hours or even days to it. He loves complex mysteries and intellectual challenges. A difficult case is like a feast for Holmes's mind.

You may forget to eat when you are concentrating.
He keeps strange hours.
He sometimes conducts chemical experiments at home.

□Sense of justice
Holmes doesn't always follow the law to the letter, but he does have a strong sense of what he considers just. He sometimes lets people go free for minor offenses if he believes they acted for understandable reasons.

Beneath his cool exterior, Holmes is an intense person. He feels things deeply, but rarely shows them. He's like a Victorian safe: on the outside it looks like steel, but it holds much more than it lets on.
