Yup, "curious matter" sounds right. Sherlock Holmes stories are the best!

I never can forget that we are violating one of Sherlock Holmes' main principles, every time we come up with possibilities about this case--he said it was a mistake to theorize before one had first determined all the facts that could be determined about a case.

But, since of course the police will only tell us so much, we might as well keep on wondering aloud.
