7. Why did Smith try to murder Sherlock Holmes?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

6. Answer- Culverton Smith was a planter. He was the culprit, who had killed his nephew Victor Savage to retain the property. To capture Smith, Holmes pretended to be ill. While Holmes and Smith were discussing, Smith confessed that he had killed his nephew and also sent an infected ivory box to kill Holmes in the same way.

7. Answer - In "The Dying Detective," Holmes appears to Watson to be dangerously ill. ... In the story, Smith tries to murder Holmes to cover up the evidence of a murder he'd already committed. His motive for killing his nephew is left to the imagination. Sherlock takes Conan Doyle's creation and makes him even more detestable
