Detective (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherlock Holmes is a <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/detective\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAAB93A\">detective<\/a>. A detective is someone who uses clues to solve crimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" datatext=\"\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11062953\/pexels-photo-8369518-copy-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3472\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11062953\/pexels-photo-8369518-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11062953\/pexels-photo-8369518-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11062953\/pexels-photo-8369518-copy-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In real life, detectives are usually members of the police. For example, the <mdspan datatext=\"el1651765310372\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Detective Inspector<\/mdspan> mentioned in the following news article is a police detective in Merseyside, England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Detective Inspector<\/strong> Lee Wilkinson of Merseyside Police said that Stewart was caught because of his \"love of Stilton cheese.\"<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/cheese-photo-helps-police-catch-criminal\/MhJVvr-WEeuXpGdbCPpfOA\">\"Cheese Photo Helps Police Catch Criminal\" | <em>Engoo Daily News<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Sherlock Holmes is a \"private detective.\" This means he can work for anyone who wants to hire him. These days, private detectives are more often called \"private <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/investigator\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAD3_vA\">investigators<\/a>\" (\"PI\" for short).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Investigate_v\"><\/span>2. Investigate (v.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherlock <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/investigate\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAABe9g\">investigates<\/a> deaths, robberies, and other kinds of mysteries. This means he tries to find out what really happened and who is responsible. We often use this word to talk about police looking into situations like crimes and traffic accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>German police say a special team of 20 officers has been put together to <strong>investigate<\/strong> the crime.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/thieves-steal-priceless-jewelry-from-german-museum\/a2l7BBBGEeqGZ8u3jKMwSw\">\"Thieves Steal Priceless Jewelry from German Museum\" | <em>Engoo Daily News<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The police aren't the only people who make investigations. For example, companies <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/investigate-a-complaint\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAACkvA\">investigate complaints<\/a> and journalists investigate issues that most people aren't familiar with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>An <strong>investigation<\/strong> by&nbsp;<em>The Times<\/em>&nbsp;has found that many students at UK universities are using drugs to help their academic performance.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/use-of-study-drugs-common-in-uk-universities\/znu0nqALEeyuGsvjkJFUsA\">\"Use of 'Study Drugs' Common in UK Universities\" | <em>Engoo Daily News<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of journalism is known as \"investigative journalism\" and it often uncovers shocking secrets. A famous example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/article\/pandora-papers-reveal-how-rich-and-powerful-hide-wealth\/Ny0qgiVoEeyN4a_ZT3S1lw\">Pandora Papers<\/a>, which revealed where rich and powerful people hide their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Case_n\"><\/span>3. Case (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his long career as a detective, Sherlock solves many <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/case\/9NxIymR_Rl-Q2QXNAvTdyw\">cases<\/a> of murder, theft, disappearances, and more. In this context, a \"case\" is \"an incident that is being investigated.\" For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A school might investigate a case of <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/bullying\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAAqONQ\">bullying<\/a>.<\/li><li>A government might investigate a case of <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/bribery\/QAOOjV1QRLCVPs_GsJNp4A\">bribery<\/a>.<\/li><li>Sports organizations might investigate cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/admin\/words\/en?page=1&amp;query=doping\">doping<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When the police are working on a case, we say they are \"on\" it: e.g. \"20 police officers are <em>on the case<\/em>.\" In order to solve the case, the police will ask a <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/suspect\/Bgy9DIyTTbiwVagJrz1VeA\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/suspect\/Bgy9DIyTTbiwVagJrz1VeA\">suspect<\/a> a lot of questions and sometimes even arrest them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you feel like someone wants something from you and keeps bothering you about it, you can say they're \"on your case.\" For example, if a friend tells you, \"My mom is always <em>on my case<\/em> about getting married,\" that probably means their mom is constantly asking them when they're going to get married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Evidence_n\"><\/span>4. <mdspan datatext=\"el1651980759357\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Evidence<\/mdspan> (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherlock is famous for using fingerprints, footprints, and handwriting as evidence of crimes. \"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/evidence\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAAARdw\">Evidence<\/a>\" is \"a fact or an object that shows that something is true.\" Anything left at a crime scene, from bloody knives to a button that fell off of someone's coat, can be used as evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" datatext=\"\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11063346\/shutterstock_1779876164-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3473\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11063346\/shutterstock_1779876164-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11063346\/shutterstock_1779876164-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/05\/11063346\/shutterstock_1779876164-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides crime, the word \"evidence\" also appears a lot in science.
