Let us just say Sherlock Holmes used the axiom 'No harm, no foul' quite a bit.
There are also more stories with no criminal, like 'A Case of Identity.'
In a couple of stories, justice presumably prevailed, like 'The Five Orange Pips,' 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter,' and 'The Adventure of Lady Frances Carfax.'

How does Sherlock Holmes know that Dr Mortimer makes his own cigarettes in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'?
Holmes says to Mortimer: "I observe from your forefinger that you make your own cigarettes." Holmes presumably noticed tobacco stains, or, perhaps, Mortimer let a few cigarettes burn until they scorched his fingers.
Which famous literary detectives preceded Sherlock Holmes?
Edgar Allan Poe's Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, Wilkie Collins' Sergeant Cuff, Emile Gaboriau's Monsieur Lecoq, and Fergus Hume's Detective Gorby all preceded Sherlock Holmes, but I will let you decide which, if any, were famous. Fergus Hume's book, 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' (1886), actually outsold Conan Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887) at the time.

What makes Sherlock Holmes unique?
This is of course, is an opinion question, and answers will vary, but this is mine: During Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's life, he enjoyed a very high level of popularity for his stories about Holmes, even in countries other than England. At that time, his great success would have been due to Conan Doyle's excellent writing abilities, Holmes' great abilities of deduction that could be used to solve any crime, and the fact that common and poor people of England and especially London could look to Holmes for inspiration, and as a national symbol of pride. But Conan Doyle wrote these stories over a century ago. Why are they still so popular today? Holmes became an icon, his analysis of Watson and other people's habits and activities seemed to them, baffling, but to him it was "Elementary." His deerstalker cap, pipe, overcoat, and magnifying glass came to symbolize detectives and their art through Sherlock Holmes' early popularity. And simply put, people enjoy a good story, especially a mystery. "In our modern time of fast living, modern conveniences, and computerised crime and detection, Sherlock Holmes represents the spirit of an earlier, simpler and more romantic period. Perhaps, as Watson was to him, Holmes is to us "the one fixed point in a changing age." [1] [1] Clive Hopwood? Sherlock Holmes Illustrated copyright 1981 by World International Publishing Limited.
