The revelation made by Sherlock Holmes that solved the case of the Six Napoleons’ Bust was that the famous Black Pearl of Borgias was hidden in one if the six busts.
EXPLANATION:
'The Adventure of the Six Napoleons' is one of the most popular stories in Arthur Conan Doyle's story series 'The return of Sherlock Holmes'.
In this story Sherlock Holmes, the most intelligent detective solves the case if the stolen and broken busts of Napoleon. He cleverly traps the criminal called Beppo by making a false revelation in the media stating that the criminal who broke the busts was a lunatic. Beppo took the bait and went to steal the last bust. Unaware of Holmes' presence he smashed the bust. Immediately the police who were hiding with Holmes jumped upon Beppo and captured him.
It was then that Holmes revealed the truth. He knew that 'The Black Pearl' had been stolen. He also traced that Beppo had been working in the factory that manufactured the busts before he was arrested. With his acute wit Holmes joined two plus two and inferred that the pearl must be hidden in one of the busts for which they were being stolen and broken one after the other. In this manner he solved the mystery.
