Sleuthing 

To play the role of detective, to gather facts and information usually in the traditional Sherlock Holmes inconspicuous way.
To investigate in the manner of a detective.

A proper Sleuth needs to be intelligent, witty, and always a few steps ahead others. In fact, he never reveals all his discoveries or conclusions. His wisdom is his greatest asset and he needs to hide that wisdom if he expects to be hired for his services.
Sherlock Holmes enjoys a proper Sleuthing, like a boss!
