2A sleuth is another word for a detective, so it would be tautology to speak of 'a sleuthing detective'.– Kate BuntingCommented Jan 26, 2022 at 9:13

Reminiscing implies going over the past, so you shouldn't say reminiscing the past.
There may be uses for sleuthing, but sleuthing detective is too wordy. Sleuth means a detective.
Merriam-Webster sleuth
noun :detective
intransitive verb : to act as a detective : search for information
transitive verb : to search for and discover
