Chapter 1375: The Case of the Four Signatures (2-in-1 Chapter)

Apartment 221B Baker Street.

Jarvis sat on a wicker chair with a copy of Sherlock Holmes in his hand, looking at the portrait of Sherlock Holmes on the cover, which resembled him, as if he were looking at himself when he was younger.

He has already finished reading the two stories of "A Study of Scarlet Letters" and "Four Signatures".

At this time, although he was sitting quietly on the rattan chair, deep in his heart, it was burning like a flame.

The scorching flame made him feel as if he was dozens of years younger, with endless energy and strength all over his body.

Of course, Yalves knew that it was just an illusion in his mind.

But in the past few days, Jarvis really feels that he seems to be much younger, and his already healthy body seems to have become more robust.

Yalvis didn't know that this was actually because he took a cup of the Spatial Spirit Spring that Li Fan gave him, but the fact that his body had become more healthy made him very excited.

Because he knew that his apartment at 221B Baker Street would continue to welcome many guests from then on.

Guests will come to visit, Mr. Holmes, the detective who lives here.

Of course, there will be no Sherlock Holmes here, but there will be Ta Arvis.

Moreover, the image of Sherlock Holmes portrayed by Li Fan is based on his appearance, and the image illustration of Sherlock Holmes is seven or eight points similar to him.

When the time comes, he will be Sherlock Holmes.

Thinking of this, Yalvis was very excited and proud, he likes to watch detectives, and he has always been proud that he has a detective brain, and he is no worse than the protagonist of those detectives.

In this way, he will be more similar to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who is fictional to Li Fan.

For this reason, Jarvis found it very novel and interesting, and he was already a bit of an old naughty boy, and he was very much looking forward to the upcoming visit!

......

Since the afternoon, the number of customers who have come to buy "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" in major bookstores is slowly and quietly increasing.

A bookstore.

"Boss, Mr. Li Fan's Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection, do you still have it in your bookstore?" asked a tall and thin customer, his voice seeming a little anxious.

"Yes, on the new bookshelf over there. The boss replied.

"Isn't there a new bookcase? Boss, is there one somewhere else? Hurry up and get me one." The tall and thin customer continued, his voice looking even more anxious.

"Is there a new shelf?" The boss looked in the direction of the new bookshelf suspiciously, and was surprised to find that the place where the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" was originally placed was now empty, and there was really no more.

It seems that more than a dozen books on the bookshelf have been sold out, and the boss is quite happy, it seems that there are still some people who will buy them.

Afterwards, the boss asked a staff member to hurry to the storeroom, take out the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" and put it on the new shelf, and by the way, take a copy to the tall and thin customer.

However, the staff replied that all the 500 copies of "Sherlock Holmes" that arrived in the store today had been sold out.

"It's all sold out?" the boss was stunned for a moment, and then delighted.

He originally thought that it would take a long time to sell out 500 copies, but he never thought that it would be sold out in less than a day.

Then, the boss was about to say sorry to the tall and thin customer just now.

But after hearing the tall and thin customer say "damn it", he turned around and walked out of the store and hurried away.

The boss felt that something seemed wrong at this time.

"Sherlock Holmes", which I thought would be sold out for a long time, has now been sold out, and the customer just now is anxious to buy "Sherlock Holmes".

Could it be that the book is popular?

As soon as the boss's thoughts were finished, another glasses customer hurriedly walked through the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked eagerly: "Boss, do you have Mr. Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" here?"

Another customer asked about the book, and the boss affirmed the idea even more.

It's just that the book has been sold out, and the boss can't help but regret a little, he didn't buy more today, and now he can't make money even if he is rich, which is really depressing.

"I'm sorry, it's all sold out. The boss apologized and said to the glasses customer who had just come in.

When the glasses customer heard this, he said "damn" in disappointment, then turned around and went out the door, also in a hurry.

The two customers just now completely opened the prologue that customers came to ask if there was a prologue to "Sherlock Holmes".

After that, customers came to ask one after another, is there a "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection"?

After being told that it had all been sold, they all turned around and left in a hurry in disappointment.

Another customer came in and asked, and the boss couldn't help but ask: "This friend, may I ask, is "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" very popular now?"

The customer replied, "Of course, I don't know when it started, but there are more and more voices about Mr. Holmes on the Internet." It is said that it would be a great loss and regret not to know Mr. Holmes. That's why I'm so eager to buy. Okay, boss, I'm leaving, I have to go to the next bookstore. ”

After saying that, the customer also hurried away, and he had to continue to the next bookstore, if he couldn't buy "Sherlock Holmes" today, it was estimated that he would have a hard time falling asleep at night.

"It would be a great loss and regret not to know Mr. Holmes?" the boss was surprised and hurried to the Internet, ready to take a look.

Perhaps, he should go to the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" for a large number.

......

On the Internet, as the customer just said, there are more and more voices about Sherlock Holmes.

Those who originally opened "Sherlock Holmes" with the mentality of trying to read it, after reading it, they were also quickly attracted by Sherlock Holmes's personal charm and could not extricate themselves.

Especially after watching the second "Four Signatures".

If "A Study in Scarlet Letters" is Sherlock Holmes's first appearance, then "Four Signatures" will undoubtedly reveal Holmes's personal charm.

In its previous life, Four Signatures was a huge success as soon as it was launched.

It was the beginning of Sherlock Holmes becoming a household name.

Its impact is long-lasting and far-reaching, and it has won the love of readers at all levels.

Based on the appearances and details of life, the works use imagination and experience, and use meticulous and impeccable logical reasoning to push terrifying and amazing inferences.

In this work, the author, Conan Doyle, exerts the tremendous power of human observation and logical reasoning to the extreme.

The main story of "Four Signatures" is that on July 7, 1887, a young lady named Mary Mostein went to 221B Baker Street to visit Sherlock Holmes and seek Holmes' help.

Mary told Holmes that her mother had died when she was very young, and that her father was a Lan Army officer stationed abroad.

She hadn't seen her father in years.

Later, her father took leave to return to Landland, and on December 3, 1878, Mary received a telegram from her father saying that he had arrived at a hotel in Langton and asked Mary to come and see him.

However, when Mary arrived at the hotel that day to reunite her father and daughter, she was told by the hotel clerk that her father had left the day before her arrival and had not returned.

After that, Mary tried her best but did not find her father.

And, since that day, until now, Mary has not received any news about his father.

Major Schultto was a former comrade-in-arms of Mary's father's regiment and was residing in Langton City at the time of Mary's father's disappearance.

On April 28, 1882, four years after Mary's father disappeared, Schultto died.

After Schulto's death, starting on May 4, 1882, Mary received an expensive pearl every year on the same date.

On July 7, 1887, today, Mary received an anonymous letter from the author inviting her to meet her at a theater that evening.

And that's why Mary had come to visit Holmes today to ask for help, and she wanted to ask Holmes and Watson to accompany her.

Because, this letter may have something to do with the fact that she receives every year, an expensive piece of jewelry.

Sherlock Holmes and Watson agreed to Mary's request.

That night, after some twists and turns, Mary, Holmes, and Watson met the anonymous letter-writer.

The anonymous writer was called Sedius, the son of Schulto, who had died four years earlier.

It turned out that when Schulto returned to Langdun City, he brought back a large number of treasures, and Schulto also relied on this treasure to live a rich life.

And some of this treasure should have belonged to Mostan, Mary's father.

Four years ago, Mary's father returned to Langton City, stayed at the hotel, and after informing her to meet him at the hotel, he went to the house of Shulto, ready to get his share of the treasure back.

However, Mary's father and Schulto had a dispute over the distribution of the treasure, and a fierce quarrel broke out, and in the course of the quarrel, Mary's father suddenly died of a heart attack.

For some special reason, Schulto concealed the news of Mary's father's death.

It wasn't until four years ago, when Schulto, on his deathbed, that he told his two sons the truth of the matter, saying that he had a treasure that belonged to Mary's father.

Let her two sons find Mary and give her her share of the treasure that should belong to her father.

However, his two sons, Thedius and Bartholomew, did not find the treasure, only a string of pearl collars, which Schultor said on his deathbed to give to Mary.

In this way, Sedius took the pearl and prepared to send one to Mary a year.

That's why Mary receives a pearl on the same day every year.

However, just a day earlier, Bartholomew had finally discovered the treasure that his father Schultor had spoken of.

Sedius said that he hoped to give Mary a portion of the treasure to make up for his father's mistakes.

Besides, that's what Mary deserves.

Bartholomew was a little reluctant, but finally reluctantly agreed.

However, when Holmes, Watson, Mary, and Sedius arrived at Bartholomew's residence, they found that Bartholomew had been murdered with a stinger and that the treasure had been missing.

Then, after a series of complicated reasoning and tracing, Holmes finally caught up and captured the murderer who poisoned Bartholomew and stole the treasure, Smao.

Then, Simot revealed the amazing secret about the treasure.

Simao was once a soldier stationed abroad in the Lan Kingdom, and for a series of reasons, he, along with three other warriors, killed a servant of the earth king and robbed him of the treasure he had brought.

Simo and the three warriors hid the looted treasure in a certain place, and then were arrested and imprisoned for murder.

In the same prison where the four were held, Schulto and Marie's father was an officer stationed at the prison.

Simo made a pact with the two that if they could help the four of them escape, the four of them would be willing to share the treasure equally with the two of them.

In order to convince them of his words, Simo also told them the address of the treasure.

After discussing with Mary's father, Schulto decided that Schulto should go to the place where Smao said the treasure was hidden, and see if there really seemed to be treasure.

However, after Schulto went, he never returned, but took the treasure alone, returned to Langdun City, and lived a prosperous life.

At this point, the truth is revealed.

When Schulto returned to Langton City, why did he bring back a large amount of treasure?

The question of why Mary's father would go to Schulto to share the treasure and so on has been answered.

After trying to get out of prison, Smao poisoned Schulto's son Bartholomew and robbed him of the treasure.

Apparently for revenge, and to get back the treasure that was supposed to belong to him and three others.

......

As soon as the story of "Four Signatures" came out, a group of detective fans completely became fans of Sherlock Holmes.

The charm of Sherlock Holmes continues to spread on the Internet.

On the Internet, there are more and more claims that as a detective enthusiast, it would be a great pity not to know Sherlock Holmes.

Those who had planned to resolutely not watch Sherlock Holmes could no longer sit still.

They rushed to the bookstore to buy a copy of Sherlock Holmes.

However, at this time, they found out that "Sherlock Holmes" was no longer easy to buy, and many bookstores were already sold out.

They had to run from bookstore to bookstore, hoping to buy a copy, and that's what happened before.

......

When the time came to nightfall, the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" were increasing at a rapid rate.

20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000......

Kesford Press.

It's already time to get off work, but Iovaldo is not in a hurry to leave, he is waiting for good news.

He knew it would come soon.

Sure enough, the assistant hurriedly knocked into his office and said excitedly: "Mr. Eduardo, according to incomplete statistics, the sales of Mr. Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" have exceeded 200,000 copies so far. And it's increasing at a rapid rate. ”
