[He puts his hands down at his sides, smirking to himself.] Saying I'm a "brilliant detective" isn't me trying to prop myself up or crow about my abilities. As far as I recall...it was a title given to me. You can't just wake up and decide to be a brilliant detective. You have no choice in the matter.
