This is not turning down though… he’s actually quickly solving for free because they’re trivial for him.
Real turning down would be: “This is a grindset case with low chances of ever finding the murderer Lestrade, I’m out”

I'd read 50 pages of Holmes turning cases down
"too pedestrian Lestrade, you must see the murder weapon is the bicycle-pump"
"It's obvious his wife poisoned the pudding, else why was the dog sick too?"
"search the fishmonger's pockets, the jewels are sewn into the lining"
