That would be either Athelney Jones in 'The Sign of Four' or Peter Jones in 'The Red-Headed League though there are indications they are one and the same.
I'm not certain if this was in the books, but in the "Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series", there was an episode titled, "The Case of the Red Headed League" (Aired 12/27/1954). The Red Headed League was a fabricated organization, with the purpose of getting the owner of a small shop (Jabez Wilson), out of his shop for several days. In the time of Wilson's departure, the 'leaders' of the Red Headed League would break into the shop everyday, without raising the suspicion of Wilson, and once inside the shop; would burrow a tunnel from the shop's cellar to the building next to the shop. The building next to the shop was the city bank. In short, the Red Headed League was fake group, that gave reason for Jabez Wilson to leave his shop everyday, so that the shop would be empty. This allows the Red Headed League time to secretly dig a tunnel into the bank next door and then rob the bank.

The Red-headed league was dissolved because they have already finished digging the tunnel in the Bank. They no longer needed Wilson to stay in the office to disguise John Clay's absence while he was off digging the tunnel.The red headed league was only a distraction to get Mr.Wilson away from his pawnshop so that the thieves could dig the hole. After the hole was dug, there was no need for the red headed league so they closed it
Holmes already suspected that Vincent Spaulding was up to no good in 'The Red-headed League,' but he needed to know why. He beat his walking stick upon the pavement, and he determined from this by the solid sound he heard that a tunnel would not be in front of the pawnbroker's shop. When he knocked on the door and saw the soiled knees of Spaulding's trousers, his suspicions were confirmed that a tunnel must be under construction. Holmes then walked around the block (BEHIND the pawnbroker's shop) to find the Coburg branch of the City and Suburban Bank.

Holmes foresaw that a misadventure was going to take place that weekend though it would not begin until late that night. He also needed to arrange matters with Scotland Yard and another special guest.

Holmes interviewed his client. He smoked three pipes of tobacco while mulling over the evidence. He investigated at, and in the vicinity of, the client's business. He went to a violin concerto while seemingly detached from the case. He formulated a plan to catch the criminals then he carried it out.
In the falling action of "The Red-Headed League," Sherlock Holmes discovers that the whole purpose behind the league was to keep Jabez Wilson out of his shop to allow his assistant, John Clay, to tunnel into a nearby bank. Holmes and Watson race to prevent the bank robbery, succeeding in capturing John Clay and thwarting the crime.

'The Red-Headed League' probably took place in 1890, and the gold sovereign was equivalent to 1 British pound at that time, which, in turn, was worth about $4 US. Inflation would make the sovereign's buying power about $100 in today's money.
They needed to get Wilson out of his shop. That would allow them to do the digging that was required. So they came up with a mindless time consuming job that would allow them to keep him busy and out of their way.
Proceed with caution, Holmes.
The biceps would be an example of a two-headed muscle. Another example would be the sternocleidomastoid, which is a two-headed muscle located in the neck.
