The only person in London whom he could have visited is Major Sholto
[Holmes said] “No? You surprise me. Look at it in this way, then. Captain Morstan disappears. The only person in London whom he could have visited is Major Sholto. Major Sholto denies having heard that he was in London. Four years later Sholto dies.”

Hi. Is the bold part hypothetical (subjunctive) or conditional? For example, “If he had wanted to visit someone, the only person in London whom he could have visited is Major Sholto“?
Thank you.
