What is Sherlock Holmes' Method of detection?

Answer 1

This isn't anything official, but I've made a few observations of the methods of popular detectives. Here goes: Firstly, study the history and methods of crime. This not only helps in criminal cases, but helps you distinguish between those that are not of criminal nature. All those loosely related to crime and detection should be read leisurely in your spare time, often accompanied with smoking tobacco or playing the violin (optional). 1. Observe and verbalize observations. Observations may be accumulated at the scene, or by other means that don't require a presence (newspaper, police reports, security footage, etc.) 2. Draw logical conclusions from these observations. 3. Investigate discrepancies and holes that exist in the case based on the observations and conclusions. —3b. Experiment, explore, and/or discover an explanation for said discrepancies. —3c. Continue gathering observations to fill in the holes. This may take some creative thought in order to know where to look for clues (e.g. Tape residue on an object out of the way might require a visualization of a makeshift mechanism before looking there.) 4. If the case is criminal in nature, compile a list of suspects and begin to eliminate them based on the facts of the case. (e.g. "The killer is left-handed, but Colonel Mustard is right-handed." Colonel Mustard is now eliminated.) 5. (optional) Hide your epiphanies/final conclusions from everyone until the Jimmy Kudo/Shinichi Kudou (Case Closed) uses a similar method, and seems only to revolve around death, namely murder and attempted murder: Once you have a suspect or list of suspects, begin. 1. Begin with motive. If there is no apparent motive, move on to: 2. Means and opportunity. Did they have the means to commit the crime? The opportunity? —This entails discovering their methods. This is where the fabled "keen eye for detail" is especially important. 3. Investigate the alibi. People will try to deceive others by: —Distorting time (e.g. changing the clocks in a location to change the perception of time). —Distorting place (e.g. using a mechanism to kill/commit the crime while they are elsewhere). 4. Gather evidence of the crime. Enough to convict, or at the very least, to convince a jury of guilt. 5. (optional) Gather everybody in a room and while you have their attention and either A) dramatically declare who the killer is and, after they've recovered from the shock, proceed to tear down their alibi with the evidence you've accumulated, or B) give a detailed explanation of what happened and how it all went down, and then proceed to step A. —SageRiku —myspace/sagerikumusic
