Detailed explanation-1: -Holmes throws him a bone: first, Holmes tells Watson that he knew there was a ventilator between Julia and Roylott’s bedrooms even before they saw the house. How? Because Julia was bothered by the smell of her stepdad’s cigar smoke the night she died.
Detailed explanation-2: -Holmes makes the quick observation that she must have started her travels early that morning (he notices half of a train ticket in her hand and sees splatters of mud, indicating that she traveled partially by dog-cart), and the woman introduces herself as Helen Stoner.
Detailed explanation-3: -At night, Holmes and Watson wait to see Helen’s signal from Stoke Moran towards their room in the village inn. After getting it, they enter the estate and go to the room to which Helen had been forced to move. They pass the night waiting for Dr. Roylott’s attempt.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The Night where Holmes and Watson spend in Helen’s sister Julia’s room was a terrifying one. Julia died in his own room and the killer killed her leaving no such clues at all. Still Holmes found the motive and way she was killed.
