deduction

What is the best way to translate "deduction" in Spanish in the context of doing detective work, as in the use of the word "deduction" often encountered in Sherlock Holmes stories?

 

[Diddy]

I think "deducción" and "conclusión" fit in that context.

make + deduction = deducir, llegar a una conclusión

 

[pecosita]

Deducción.

Gracias.
Would you be know if {deducción} is the word used in the early Spanish translations of Sherlock Holmes?
