Becoming Professor Moriarty’s Probability

WhyThe Five Orange Pips… of all things. The Five Orange Pips. A case that made me frown just by hearing its name.

It’s one of the few failures mentioned by Sherlock Holmes in the original work, where both the client and the criminal died, leaving the case unsolved.

Of course, as a Sherlockian, I had to defend Holmes. Although the case remained unsolved, it was not his fault.

The client was murdered by the criminals on his way back from commissioning the case, and the criminals, who Holmes had successfully deduced and set a trap for, went missing at sea due to a natural disaster. This update is available on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

But an unsolved case was still an unsolved case, even though it was caused due to force majeure.

Therefore, in this world too, this case must remain an unsolved case.

Otherwise, the already precarious Erosion Rate might just reach its peak.

But… how can I even make it an unsolved case?

The problem here was that, there really was no way to make this case remain unsolved.
