In 'The Problem of Thor Bridge,' Holmes said that his own special line of work was a balance between imagination and reality. Holmes was adamant that he never guesses, but that he balances probabilities and uses scientific imagination to begin his speculations and logically piece together clues.
The one piece of confirming empirical evidence came from slamming his cane down on the ground in front of the shop that backed on the building housing of the Red Headed League I thought the solution to the mystery was a good deal of evidence for Holmes to look at and see who do it
In chapter 7 of "A Study in Scarlet," Sherlock Holmes uses deductive reasoning to deduce various details about the murder case, such as the identity of the killer, the motive for the crime, and the sequence of events leading up to the murder.

Ultimately, his deductive skills allow him to piece together the facts and solve the case.
In Arthur Conan Doyle's story "A Study in Scarlet," Sherlock Holmes reads about the crime in the The Times newspaper. This report helps him piece together the details of the case involving the murder of Enoch Drebber. The newspaper serves as a crucial source of information for Holmes as he begins his investigation.
The quotation comes from fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, which makes the meaning easier to understand. Sherlock always solves the mystery by deducing crucial information from minor details. Other people gloss over the minor details, thinking that they're unimportant, but to Sherlock every detail matters and every piece of information is important. Someone who isn't as smart as Sherlock wouldn't know how important the little things are, but to someone as smart as him there isn't anything that's not worth knowing, no matter how small it is.
In Dr. Wells's laboratory, Holmes discovered various scientific instruments and evidence of experiments related to artificial life. The notebook contained detailed entries outlining Wells's research, including his theories and methods for creating life. Holmes noted the presence of disturbing elements suggesting unethical practices, which pointed to Wells's obsession with his work and the potential dangers of his experiments. This evidence helped Holmes piece together the mystery surrounding Wells's disappearance and the implications of his research.

Helen, also engaged to be married, worries about her own safety and takes her case to Sherlock Holmes. Using his powers of observation, intelligence, and perseverance, Holmes races to find the murderer. Out of Sherlock Holmes' many talents, observation is the most influential to each of his cases. Helen stares in astonishment as Holmes correctly states that the mud on her jacket sleeve came from riding in a dogcart. Then, upon examining Helen's bedroom, he is the first to realize the wire to the call bell is a fake. Without this important skill, neither Sherlock Holmes nor his crime-solving would be the same. In each of Sherlock Holmes' adventures one thing is proven: no matter how many dead-ends he happens to bumps into, Holmes will never give up. His dedication perseverance when doing something he loves shines throughout each story; he is even willing to get right down on the ground in search of clues. Even a late night excursion to Stoke Moran is not too much for Holmes.As long as he has his faithful associate, Watson, to keep him company no case is ever abandoned. Holmes' mixture of talents would not be complete without his extreme intelligence. Using logical reasoning, he successfully deduces that Dr. Roylott, Helen and Julia's step-father, killed Julia in order to keep the inheritance saved for her. Holmes even has an explanation for the bell wire connected to the ventilator. Roylott uses it as a bridge for his swamp adder to get into the neighboring bedroom, hoping that it will eventually bite Helen. Holmes always puts each piece of the puzzle in its proper place. This case ends happily for Helen, who lives on to be married. It does not, however, end on the same note for Dr. Roylott. The antagonist ultimately gets what he deserves. As for Sherlock Holmes, neither poisonous snakes nor wild baboons will ever keep him off a case.
