8. 1st Crime Scene Investigation
Later on in the first episode, A Study in Scarlet, we get to see Sherlock take on his first crime scene investigation. This scene really does have everything. We see Sherlock's trademark arrogance as he strolls into the middle of a police investigation and demands time alone with the body. Then he begins deducing and works out almost everything about the victim. Her job, her family history, her infidelity. Again the ways in which he works this all out is genius. The trim of her coat is damp but it hasn't rained in London, Sherlock checks the forecast and figures out she has come from Cardiff. She had a suitcase with her due to the specks of dirt up the back of one leg. There is even time for a laugh in this scene as Sherlock ridicules Anderson for suggesting that the word Rache, that the victim carved into the floor with her fingernails is meant to be the German word for revenge.
