The S.P.L.I.T. Files

""What are these things?" "Those are the crimes of the past and present that are so strange, so haunting, and never been solved." "So, what shall I do with these?" "Give it to Aleksander. Those cases will surely interest him. The British Intelligence considered it as "The S.P.L.I.T. Files.""

- Lewis Gosling and Augustus Sterling about The S.P.L.I.T. Files The Investigative List of Peculiar Scenario Files, commonly called as simply The S.P.L.I.T. Files, is the name given by the British Intelligence Agency to the many cases that were never solved because they are either so peculiar, or old, or simply impossible to be solved at all. There are more than a thousand cases involved in the Files, and the series only features forty-five of them, while some are just stated to either be solved or tentative.

Because of Augustus Sterling's younger brother's perk for peculiarity about the cases that he wants to solve, Augustus had entrusted Aleksander Sterling cases from the Files. Augustus' first intention is to test until when Aleksander could solve them, or finally give up. Slowly, this intention turns into complete interest and amazement that Aleksander could solve each and then every case given to him. This earns Aleksander gain fame, not only in England, but throughout the whole world.

Trivia

 * According to Aleksander's prediction, there could be an exact 1,492 cases involved in the Files. This prediction is relatively close to Augustus' claim of the cases in the Files being 1,495. Nevertheless, Augustus could just simply tell that there are 1,495 to humiliate Aleksander of having a wrong prediction.
