That's right.
Lin Yuan has taken inspiration from several TV series about Sherlock Holmes.
Original works are not perfect, and Lin Yuan would definitely not use them in completion. For instance, Holmes made an incorrect deduction in the Speckled Band case.
This deduction was based on the assumption that snakes have good hearing and drink milk, but in reality, snakes have poor hearing and can't digest milk well, rendering the murderer's method unreliable. also, snakes do not drink milk.
