The detectives of Scotland Yard were shocked but happy and Mycroft paid them an explanation to keep them from asking too many questions. They managed to capture Dr. Landsteiner in a scenario involving Gregson and Lestrade draping him in silver. Needless to say, the allergic reaction was enough to lead to anaphylaxis which led to death when Watson "casually" dropped a garlic garland on him.

The Yard were sorry to lose such a fine forensic scientist, however, a murderer was a murderer. The secret of the vampires wasn't outted, and the case was wrapped up as concisely as possible.

Holmes had claimed that he would end up with a cut off head if the entire world learnt of vampires, and the police just shut up, too happy to have their "ace in the hole" and "last resort" back. The number of unsolved crimes in London and England sharply dropped to a near zero. Holmes was happy enough to have a huge amount of cases on hand, even if most of them were minor.

He did miss working on actual cases, instead of random chases for a rogue vampire.

He was, however, hired by the Vampire Commission as a permanent detective, much to his displeasure.

If anyone had assumed that cool new super powers had lifted the workload, then they are mistaken.

The excessive troubles of one unofficial consulting detective of the human world and one official fulltime vampire detective had just begun.
