Ambiguous Disorder: Holmes is perhaps the most well known example of this trope, and it could even be considered a staple of the character.Charles Augustus Milverton is another example, as long as he thinks he has the upper hand. Affably Evil: Professor Moriarty, who is gentlemanly enough to let Sherlock write a farewell note to Watson before their fight in "The Final Problem".The challenge of solving a mystery is intellectual stimulation enough that he doesn't need drugs while he's on the job.

The absence of certain valuable deeds is a vital clue in "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder.".when a guard dog doesn't bark at an intruder it generally means it's someone he doesn't think is an intruder at all.
