On the Confrontation between Sherlock Holmes and moriarty

Conan Doyle decided not to write Sherlock Holmes' stories in 1893, so he ended Sherlock Holmes' life in the last case, a short collection of memoirs: Sherlock Holmes and Napoleon moriarty, the most dangerous men in London, fought at Reichenbach Falls, and moriarty sent someone to send Watson away. When Watson came back, only Holmes' walking stick and silver cigarette case were left. Holmes wrote to Watson. On the muddy road around, there are only two rows of footprints leading to the waterfall, but there is no turning back. In addition, there are signs of fighting. In the end, Watson thought that the two men embraced each other, rolled down the waterfall and died in the abyss.

That's the last case.

The last case caused strong dissatisfaction among British Sherlock Holmes fans. After repeated entreaties and threats, Conan Doyle published The Hound of the Baskerville as an early story of Sherlock Holmes in 1902, and then let Sherlock Holmes live in an empty house in 1903. Details are as follows:

Holmes used Japanese wrestling in the fight, which made moriarty lose his balance and fall to the bottom. Because moriarty has a partner to follow, he can only choose to go along the precipice, so that Watson thinks he is dead, so as to clean up the moriarty clique in the future. On a rock bed on the cliff, he was attacked by Colonel Moran (the remnant of moriarty, the second most dangerous man in London), and then he fell off the cliff and fell on the way to escape.

A few years later, he traveled around the eastern world and studied coal tar derivatives in France. Later, Moran committed many crimes in London, prompting him to return to London.

Conan Doyle compiled 12 published short stories from Empty House to Return.

These are rarely published separately, and they are all included in The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes.
