Oh, I know. I also know you're not as good as the original Sherlock Holmes and I also know if you think you're actually going to make your buck the same way you do at home here in Somarium, you're deluded.
Original implies that I'm a copy or replacement of a previous one which is decidedly not the case here. I'm surprised that you'd believe a man from the nineteenth century would be better versed on present matters then I am.
Regardless of your opinions on my abilities, you have willingly asked for my services. That requires payment. SH
[ Are you really doing this, Sherlock? With a lawyer for crying out loud? Who remembers everything? For shame. ]
I still prefer him over you. He's less obnoxious and much more clever.
Also, I dropped a question in your inbox. You replied with an answer. You can't charge me for that since there was no previous agreement that stated I would pay you for your answer to my question. In fact, before this point -- you have not confirmed yourself, to me, as a "consulting detective". I would know that since I remember everything anyway. Sure, you could assume I've known as you above stated "you're aware" but you have never said, directly, to me, that you are.
All I know is you're a modern day copy of the character Sherlock Holmes. Other than that is all I can put together through my previous interactions with you -- twice. One, where I first met you on your John's network post in which he dreamed about your world's version of The Final Problem. Two, where you confronted me in the casino where my boss and I were playing poker. We told you some of the story and that was it. You still did not outright state you were a consulting detective, so really.
You can't charge me. Maybe if I come to you after this conversation, sure, but right now? You can't charge me. It's illegal. Would you like me to recite the law stating such? Because I can.

You're aware that I'm a consulting detective so you should know that my services aren't for free.
