Where there is no imagination, there is no terror. It's from Sherlock Holmes' A Study of Blood Characters.

Original: "I can understand this. There are some mysteries in this case, which aroused everyone's imagination. If there is no imagination, there is no fear. Did you read the evening paper? "

Remove the impossible, even if the rest is impossible, it is still the truth.

It is impossible to remove, and the rest, even if it is impossible, is truth. It has appeared in Sherlock Holmes' Bruce Partington Project, Signs of Four Men, Soldiers with White Skin and The Case of the Emerald Crown.

The original text of White-skinned Soldier is based on the assumption that when you rule out all the impossible conclusions, the rest, no matter how bizarre, must be the truth. There may be several explanations left, if so, it will be confirmed again and again until there is only one explanation with sufficient evidence to support it. Now we will use this method to study the current situation. At the beginning, I mentioned that there are three possible explanations before me, which can explain why this gentleman was isolated or imprisoned in the cabin of his father's manor. It can be thought that he fled because of a crime, or he was unwilling to live in an insane asylum because of mental disorder, and finally he needed isolation because of some disease. I can't think of another explanation. Then, we need to compare and identify these conclusions.

Symptom 4: He shook his head and said, "You always don't study according to my theory. Haven't I told you many times that when you remove all the impossible factors, no matter what remains-no matter how incredible-is this the truth? We know that he didn't come in through the door, window or chimney. We also know in advance that he won't hide in the house, because there is no hiding place in the house, so where did he come in? "
