Motive
Hi,teachers I have a question.
This is a statement of Sherlock Homes:
I have found that it is usually in unimportant matters that there is a field for the observation, and for the quick analysis of cause and effect which gives the charm to an investigation. The larger crimes are apt to be simpler, for the bigger the crime the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive. - 'A case of identity' The adventure of Sherlock Holmes
Would it be right to understand that the fact of crime explained above motivates him?
