(Four signatures) ⒉If you precise destruction, in the public interest, I am willing to accept death. If you can be guaranteed to be destroyed, then, for the benefit of society, I am willing to die with you. (The last case) ⒊What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done. In this world, what you do in the end is a matter of no consequence. What matters is how you convince others of what you have done. (Study in Scarlet) ⒋I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule. I never assume exceptions, exceptions will break the principle of investigation. (or I never make any exceptions, there are no exceptions to the law.) (Four signatures) ⒌It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to ist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. In the absence of facts as Making rash guesses (arguments) based on previous references is a terrible mistake. People who feel incorrect always use facts to fit their own inherent guesses (arguments), instead of deriving conclusions in the correct way and based on the obtained facts to see whether it can match the obtained facts. (A Scandal in Bohemia) ⒍One should always look for a possible alternative, and provide against it. It is the first rule of criminal investigation. See if you can try to overturn it. (Black Peter) ⒎I never guess. It is a shocking habit – destructive to the logical faculty." I never guess, it is a bad habit that destroys thinking ability. (Four signatures) ⒏You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. You are looking, not observing. The difference between the two is obvious (A Scandal in Bohemia) ⒐In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward. When it comes to questions, the previously assumed viewpoint must be able to be established backwards (Research on Scarlet Letter) ⒑There is nothing so unnatural as the monplace. There is nothing more unusual and worthy of study than ordinary things.

Logic is rare. Therefore, it is upon the logic rather than upon upon the crime that you should dwell. Crime is common, but logic is rare. Therefore, what you detail should be logic, not crime. (Tongshan Beech Case) ⒖Any truth is better than indefinite doubt. Any fact that is indeed obtained is better than uncertain guess. (Yellow-faced Man) Sherlock Holmes’ famous sayings. My favorite Sherlock Holmes speaks with depth. "My creed, Watson, is based on my experience, that no more terrible crimes can be committed in the meanest and most horrible alleys of London than in this pleasant and beautiful countryside. "————"The Copper Beech Case" "There is an old adage that when you eliminate the impossible, the remaining situations, no matter how impossible, must be true."—— ——"The Green Jade Crown Case" "The most important thing in the art of detective is to be able to identify what is secondary and what is important from some facts. Otherwise, your energy and attention will definitely be distracted. Unable to concentrate." ------- "The Reigate Mystery" "Strangely, no two typewriters can express a person's character as well as handwriting. Unless both typewriters are quite new. The words are exactly the same."——————"The Case of Identity" "There is nothing more hypocritical than the obvious truth"——————"The Mystery of Boscombe Valley" "I. Decide never to have any prejudice, and I will follow wherever the facts lead."————"The Mystery of Reigate" "Jealousy is a strange transformer of character"—————— "The Noble Bachelor" Samuel. Johnson: "If you are tired of London, you are tired of life, because everything in life can be found in London." "To a great mind, there is no small thing in the world."——————《 "A Study in Scarlet" (first edition of "Beaton's Christmas Annual", November 1887) "In the investigation process, I am the last and highest court of appeal."——————"Four Signatures" (No. First edition of Lippincott's Monthly, February 1890) "The mysteries of life are beyond the reach of any clever mind." ------- "The Case of Identity" (first edition of Riverside Magazine, August 1891) "A The doctor went astray, and he was a first-rate criminal, for he had courage as well as knowledge." ------- "The Case of the Speckled Belt" (first edition of Riverside Magazine, February 1892) "If I give it to you. I have the impression that if you are overconfident in your abilities, or if you don’t put much effort into this case, I would be very grateful if you could kindly say ‘Noberry’ in my ear.”———— ——"The Man with the Yellow Face" (first edition of Riverside Magazine, February 1893) "I have not wasted my life at all. If the journey of my life ends tonight, I can accept it with a clear conscience. Because of my existence, The air in London was refreshed. In the more than a thousand cases I had handled, I believed that the power I had never grasped was used in the wrong place.

” ——— “The Final Question” (first edition of Riverside Magazine, December 1893) “Life is dull, newspapers are dull. Boldness and romance seem to have become extinct in this sinful world. "————"Vestria Apartments" (first edition, August 1908, Collier's Weekly) "There is no end to education, Watson. One course after another, we strive for excellence. This case is very inspiring. "————"The Red Circle" (first edition of Riverside Magazine, March April 1911) "The most dangerous kind of person in the world," said Holmes, "is the wandering and lonely woman. She is harmless in herself, and often very useful, but she is always a cause for others to commit crimes. She was helpless and made her home everywhere. She had enough money to travel from country to country and hotel to hotel. She was often lost in a maze of remote apartments and boarding houses. She is a little chicken lost in a world full of foxes. Once she was swallowed up, she was rarely missed. "——————"The Disappearance of Ms. Frances Carfax" (Riverside Magazine, December 1911) "The knowledge of destiny is elusive. If there is no response in the afterlife, then this world is a cruel joke. "——————"The Veiled Tenant" (first edition, January 1927, free) Holmes's famous saying: I have a very special constitution. I don't feel tired at all when I work, but if I am idle, it will make me tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me pletely. My mind becomes restless when I have nothing to do. rebels at stagnation. I crave for mental exaltation. I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? 2. About women and love even the best. Women are never to be entirely trusted - not the best of them. But love is an emotional thing, which is inconsistent with what I think is the most important thing: calm thinking. Love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things. I should never marry myself, lest I bias my judgment. Clear reasoning. The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning. 3. Remove other factors about detective skills, and what remains must be the truth.

Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth. Haven't I told you many times that when you eliminate all the impossible factors, no matter what is left - no matter how It's unbelievable - is that the truth? How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be studied with equal dispassion rather than emotion. Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. I never make any exceptions. There are no exceptions to the law. I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule. Wynwood. Rhett has a great explanation for this. He argued that although each person is a difficult mystery, when humans are gathered together, there are laws. For example, you cannot predict a person's personality, but you can definitely know the human nature. Personalities are different, but personality is eternal. This is what statisticians say. Winwood Reade is good upon the subject. He remarks that, while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he bees a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician. I never guess. Guessing is a very bad habit and is harmful to logical reasoning. I never guess. It is a shocking habit —— destructive to the logical faculty.
