Professor James moriarty, whom Holmes called "Napoleon in the world of crime", described him as "like a spider in a web, and no trace of affection can escape his eyes".

He established a huge criminal empire in London, England, and his underworld network spread all over Europe, with great influence. Almost half the cases in London are related to him. After each crime, he can destroy all the evidence, leave no clues, run away cleanly and never miss. Finally, in the Swiss Reichenbach Falls, he was confronted with his old enemy Sherlock Holmes, and rolling in the deep died unexpectedly.

The prototype of Sherlock Holmes, according to Doyle's own narrative in The Real Sherlock Holmes, is based on his medical school tutor Professor joseph bell.

In the biography "The Life of Conan Doyle", Doyle said frankly in an interview in his later years: "Maybe I can say that Sherlock Holmes is just a character in literary works, and he (Sherlock Holmes) carries my memories of a medical professor at Edinburgh University." In a letter to Professor Bell, Doyle said, "You made me shape Sherlock Holmes."
