Colin, the author of "Mr. Holmes", once studied writing with Gatskil, and Gatskill is a female author whom the author himself likes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Gatskill's "Still Beautiful", it can be seen that she is the strongest female author, and Zhang Ailing is much inferior in comparison. It's a pity that it's all in the Blue Star, there is no Colin here, and there is no Gatskil.

So Han Shi can't see this strange woman anymore, but her apprentice's works are about to start killing.

When: Daytime

Character: Yi Luo Sheng

"Don't be a pit this time!"

Yi Luo Sheng just bought "Mr. Holmes" from the book, looked at the black silhouette on the book, and said: "Although dear Sherlock Holmes, there are a lot of dry goods hidden in it, but I prefer the body content with a plot. ”

The black silhouette on the cover, which is the same as "Dear Sherlock Holmes", is clearly marked with a pipe and a deer-hunting hat.

"I don't know why Holmes likes to wear a deer-hunting hat, if I remember correctly, the deer-hunting hat is the hat of the English countryside hunting, the concept is similar to our straw hat, with a brim on the front and back, and then ear guards. Yi Luosheng muttered to himself, thinking that a famous detective was wearing a straw hat, and this picture was drunk when he thought about it.

Although Yi Luosheng's perception of the deer hunting hat is somewhat wrong, it is generally correct, as for why Holmes always wears the deer hunting hat, don't think that it was written by Conan Doyle, in fact, as Sherlock Holmes's iconic outfit, Conan Doyle never said in the book that Sherlock Holmes had such a dress.

Similarly, it is only in "The Silver Horse", and it is only said that Sherlock Holmes is wearing a travel hat with ear protection.

As for why the deer hunting hat later became the standard for Holmes, like the pipe, it must be mentioned that Sidney, the most famous illustrator in the history of Holmes, painted the "Root of Sin" in "The Secret Case of Boscomby Valley", and yes, it is the famous painting of Watson and Holmes sitting in the train box.

Sidney drew a short cape with a round neck and a deer-hunting hat, which became the standard for Sherlock Holmes, and later illustrators and cartoonists changed it according to this drawing, and the regular deer-hunting hat became the detective hat.

However, this world didn't even come out of Sherlock Holmes, so it was natural that Fuxue didn't have anything, so even if Sidney existed, there was such a thing, and Yi Luosheng felt that it was too normal.

I only heard him muttering to himself: "Han Gongzi, you must be strong, don't make a non-mainstream combination of local combinations, otherwise I won't be able to help you defend yourself." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the little friend called, and Yi Luosheng answered the phone.

"What's the matter. Yi Luosheng asked angrily.

"Look at your bad tone, is this "Mr. Holmes" crippled again?" The friend's voice on the phone was particularly annoying.

"What the hell, this book is a wonderful mystery novel. Yi Luosheng immediately pushed back.

In fact, originally, Yi Luosheng and his little friends, both of whom were fans of Han Gongzi's reasoning, said that the two met in the nobody's survivorship discussion group, but later "Dear Sherlock Holmes" was released, Yi Luosheng chose to believe that this book was just a precursor, but his little friends thought that Han Gongzi was blowing up, so he made up for it.

The two of them have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, and today's "Mr. Holmes" is the time to see.

Yi Luosheng hung up the phone angrily and began to read the introduction-

["I once told Watson that if I started writing stories one day, it would be because I wanted to correct the myriad misconceptions people had about me......"] The detective, who is still entangled with the past, can solve the mystery woven by memories and old people.

Logic cannot fully explore the mystery of human nature, and in order to find out the truth, he must face the past......]

"What is this, to start writing stories to correct people's countless mistakes?" the introduction made Yi Luosheng a little confused.

Then the prologue at the beginning made Yi Luosheng understand a little something, only to see that the prologue on the first page reads:

[England, 1947.]

Sherlock Holmes is 93 years old and lives in seclusion in the Sussex countryside. He can't help but shake his head every time he sees a movie about himself in the cinema, because most of his heroic deeds are rumors, such as his dislike of pipes and cigar smoking.

After his retirement, Holmes became a beekeeper, accompanied only by his butler, Mrs. Montroe, and her son, Roger. But an old case has been haunting him. In this story, Sherlock Holmes will go through the last adventure of his life. ]

"Nima, you won't tell me that at the beginning of the story, this protagonist is the grandfather of ninety-three. Yi Luosheng had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly opened the book to read the text.

The content begins, and at the beginning it is a piece of beekeeping knowledge, about which Yi Luosheng can accept, as mentioned in the article "Dear Sherlock Holmes" before, Holmes seems to have written a tool book on the breeding methods of queen bees.

However, the content that followed made Yi Luosheng accept incompetence.

[……

His pale, bearded face was filled with a look of confusion, which always cast a shadow in his mind whenever he noticed that his memory was slipping back (was there anything else I had forgotten? what else slipped away like the sand in my hand? what could I be sure of?), but he tried to put them aside and find a plausible explanation for the confusion that arose from time to time. ……]

[……

But he didn't understand the letter either: it didn't take long for him to close his eyes and droop his chin to his chest. In his sleep, he would not feel the letter slipping from his fingers, nor would he hear the breathless sound coming from his throat again. And when he wakes up, he will not remember the marigold bush where he once stood, nor will he remember the dream that brought him back to the flower bush again. He woke up suddenly, only to see Roger leaning over in front of him. He cleared his throat, stared at the boy's slightly embarrassed face, and asked hoarsely and uncertainly, "Am I asleep?"

In these two passages, it can be seen that Holmes is not only old and has a memory loss, and he can't even remember many things clearly, but also has some difficulty moving and speaking, because he can't control his own sleep. ”

Yi Luosheng is a little painful, could it be that the protagonist is really this person who is ninety-three years old and has passed the age of mackerel, such an old immortal who forgets things and has difficulty in moving, how can he be a detective?

"Han Gongzi is really too bold, and he actually described the protagonist like this at the beginning. ”

Yi Luosheng also noticed one point, that is, this Sherlock Holmes may have been really hanging when he was young, not to be precise, not perhaps, or very good, and it is very important that this bull break is not directly told to you like "Dear Sherlock Holmes", but let you feel it yourself.

Because there was such a passage at the beginning, he knew that there must be strange gifts sent from afar. There will be requests for interviews in magazines or radio stations, and there will be all sorts of requests for help (lost pets, stolen wedding rings, missing children, and all sorts of other boring trivia that are best left alone). And, of course, there will be unpublished manuscripts: sensational, misleading novels based on his past experiences, self-righteous studies of criminology, sample books of suspenseful tales. There would also be letters asking him to say a few words of praise for an upcoming novel, to leave a compliment or two for them to print on the cover of the book, or, if possible, to help write a synopsis. He rarely replies to these letters, and never meets any requests from journalists, writers, and fame seekers......

Look, there are really quite a lot of people who ask for him, and it can be easily seen from this description that it is very powerful.

"Hey, this old man is quite interesting. Yi Luosheng looked at this plot-

[……

He slowly rose from his armchair on crutches, and walked towards the door, silently counting his steps, one, two, three—he ignored Mrs. Monroe's nagging behind her ("Do you want me to go with you, sir? Four, five, six. He struggled to imagine her frown, not expecting that as soon as he left the room, she would find his Jamaican cigar (she bent down in front of the armchair, picked it up from its cushion, and threw it into the fireplace).

Seven, eight, nine, ten—eleven steps to the corridor, four steps more than Mrs. Monroe, two steps more than he usually walked. ……]

"A very sensible old man was able to judge from the pace of his walking, that he was moving more slowly than before. If you use one sentence, Yi Luosheng can only be described by reason, and the title has changed from old immortal to old man, but even then he can't like it.

Originally, the novel is a sense of substitution, and the mystery novel, there is another layer of decryption with the detective, if you can win the detective, it will be great, if you can't win, you can also substitute the intelligence of the detective.

However, now, Yi Luosheng didn't think there was anything to be happy about winning an old man with a cane, and he didn't think that such an old man could solve any amazing puzzles.

"Holmes' son is called Roger, and the name is really ordinary. ”

With his hands folded, he sat in the same way that Sherlock Holmes's son did in the book: sometimes he would even pretend to be Sherlock Holmes, leaning back in the chair in front of his desk, fingertips aligned, staring at the window, imagining himself smoking a cigarette.

In the book, Sherlock Holmes has a special room, that is, the attic, where his things are kept, and this place does not allow anyone to enter, this is the thinking of foreigners, private space, and no one is allowed to enter, including his son and wife.

On the contrary, Roger, as the son of Sherlock Holmes, liked to come to this attic, and when Holmes was traveling, he often went to the attic to see his father's old things.

Although the protagonist is difficult for me to bear, Han Gongzi's narrative skills are still very strong, at the beginning, with the help of many letters, he wrote about the fame of Sherlock Holmes when he was young, and now with the help of his son, he further describes the character of Sherlock Holmes. ”

[…… In fact, Roger had a hard time finding anything new about Sherlock Holmes. There seems to be only clear and powerful evidence, indisputable facts, and exhaustive observations of the outside world in this man's world, and very little is said about his own thoughts.

However, in the mountains of haphazard notes, the boy finally found a really interesting thing buried at the bottom—a manuscript called "The Glass Piano Master", which was very short and unfinished, and the pages inside were tied together with a rubber band. The boy immediately noticed that the manuscript, unlike the other notes on the desk, had been written with great care, and the handwriting was easily legible, with no obliterated content, no words crammed into the margins of the pages or obscured by drops of ink. ……]

"The Sherlock Holmes personality seems to be rationality, or absolute rationality that does not aim for itself. Yi Luosheng looked at it, and turned around in the back, and the glass piano master's manuscript that Roger found seemed to be a big secret.

[……

What he saw next piqued great interest because it was easy to understand and even a little intimate – it chronicled a part of Holmes's early life. To Roger's chagrin, the manuscript came to an abrupt end after only two chapters, and the ending became an unsolved mystery. Still, the boy turned it over and over again, studying it again and again, hoping to find something new that he had previously overlooked.

Now, as in the weeks Holmes had been away from home, Roger sat nervously at his desk, expertly pulling the manuscript out of a seemingly chaotic but well-organized pile of materials. Soon, the rubber band was untied by him and set aside, and the manuscript paper was neatly placed in the light of the lamp. He began to study from back to front, skimming through the last few pages quickly. He was sure that Holmes had just not found a chance to finish it. ……]

After the opening, the plot behind it, with the elderly Sherlock Holmes as the first point of view, tells some things, first of all, it can be seen that Holmes has a very good friend named John Watson, and the reason why Holmes is so famous is also because his friend Watson added a little story to the story of his solving the case and wrote it.

Then Holmes really didn't like Watson's stories, because he thought that facts should be accurate, and facts should be data.

"There's no doubt that this guy is a materialist and pays attention to everything. "Anyway, so far, Yi Luosheng doesn't have a good impression of Sherlock Holmes, or prefers the old man in the corner, as for the lack of survivors, there are no detectives in it, the most awesome, that is, the murderer, the justice.

Holmes's friends said that if you don't like it, you have the ability to write one yourself, and Holmes, who had time in his later years, was ready to accept this suggestion, and he recorded a case himself.

—The case of Mrs. Anne Keller in Forteslyn

Next, show that it was time for the Sherlock Holmes performance...... (To be continued.) )
