Chapter 95: Sherlock Holmes Comes Out!

"Foreign words?" Li Conan said in surprise with the two manuscripts sent by Zhang Can. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A martial arts master who went to write a foreign detective novel?

Think about what Zhang Can does on weekdays, showing affection, scolding, fortune telling, reality shows, selling fried chicken...... It's true that there are enough people who don't do their jobs.

However, in line with his trust in the novel produced by Zhang Can, he still opened it and read it.

Zhang Can didn't know if it was to show off his superb language level, or he was afraid that Li Conan would not understand, and under each sentence, there was a Chinese translation.

It looks weird, but it's barely acceptable.

The time happened in 1878, and Watson was ready to find a house to recuperate.

Watson was a military doctor who served in the British army in India. He was wounded in a war in Afghanistan and contracted typhoid fever and was sent back to England to recuperate. As it happens, he learns through a friend that a man named Sherlock Holmes is also looking for a place to live.

???? So, he shared a house on Baker Street with Sherlock Holmes, a young private investigator. In the common life, Watson found that Holmes was proficient in anatomy, medicine, chemistry, and traces, and that the sharp eyes on the hooked nose were extremely observant, and that he was a gifted criminologist.

The expected case happened, and Grimson, a detective at the London Metropolitan Police, wrote to Sherlock Holmes to help him detect a homicide. Watson also went with him to the place of the accident.

There is a wedding ring on the wall, and the wall has the German word "RACHE" written in blood, which means revenge.

Sherlock Holmes confirmed that the deceased had died from poisoning, and the killer was quickly caught.

"Wait!" Li Conan was still looking at it with interest, what was going on?

He flipped through it back and forth, looked at the thickness of the manuscript again, and now saw about half of it. You caught the murderer halfway through?

Shouldn't it be plot development, subplots, and then write about the scenery or something, and then a woman, a lingering and sympathetic love.

One more suspect was caught in it, no. Another suspect was caught, no, another suspect was caught, not yet!

After a lot of hardships and twists and turns, did it take the murderer to be caught?

This is the mainstream of detective novels! You caught the murderer so cleanly? Those things have not been explained clearly! Today's detective novels are like this, just like romance novels, but the focus is not on the process of reasoning. It also stems from a lack of culture that prevents astonishing reasoning.

However, this has been improved, and Mr. Meikawa, a recently popular detective novelist, is known for his detectives' exquisite reasoning process. There is also a well-known supernatural writer who smells the fragrance and knows ghosts, and he won the fourth place in the martial arts relay race as a supernatural novel writer, and his "trembling martial arts" is also widely concerned. Recently, smelling the fragrance and knowing the ghost has also shifted his focus to detective novels. Integrating the supernatural with detective novels is obviously much simpler than martial arts novels. Everyone is also looking forward to the works that have not appeared.

Mr. Meigawa and Mr. Smell Akira, there is no doubt that both of them will participate in the World Detective Fiction Competition, which began this year. It's just that detective novels have always been a weakness in my country, and most people are not optimistic about the participation of the two.

Don't talk about this, just say that Li Conan read the book, and only saw that the murderer had been brought to justice, and it seemed like he had "thrown himself into the net". So I continued to read with a lot of questions.

The style of painting suddenly changed, and he came to the desert of the North American continent.

A poignant story that officially begins.

A weathered traveler with a five-year-old girl whose parents had died, fell hungry and thirsty on the rockside of the mountain and waited for death to come. They were later spotted by a passing motorn of Mormons, who agreed to join the Mormon Church, and were taken in by the group and followed the convoy to a valley in Utah, where they settled. The traveler's name was John, and he became a wealthy local family twelve years later, and the little girl he led grew into a beautiful girl.

The girl and the cowherd Hou Bo fall in love. But this is against Mormon rules, because Mormons do not allow marriages to foreign people, but men in Mormons can take several wives. John was reluctant to allow his daughter to marry a polygamous Mormon man as a concubine, so the three fled together. Sadly, the Mormons had caught up with them, John was put to death, and Lucy was snatched away. Hou Bo was grief-stricken and determined to take revenge!

The girl was snatched by Cone and married, and died of depression after only a month. On the eve of Lucy's burial, Hou Bo sneaked into Cone's house to take one last look at Lucy, whom he loved dearly, and took off the wedding ring from her hand. In the end, Hou Bo killed the two people who snatched the girl.

He was seriously ill by this time. But his lover's revenge has been avenged, and he cried out: "There is no regret in death!"

Soon he died in prison from a ruptured hemangioma.

Li Conan saw a handful of snot and tears, it was so touching! The relationship between Hou Bo and Lucy was so pitiful!

Li Conan wiped his tears. In other words, the protagonist of this novel is Hou Bo.

Please forgive the sensual Conan Lee, after seeing the touching love story, he completely ignored the amazing reasoning of Sherlock Holmes in front of him. Fortunately, in the end, the criminal was already dead. From Watson's point of view, the process of crime is once again recounted. and Sherlock Holmes's reasoning process.

In an instant, it shocked Li Conan again. He remembered that Sherlock Holmes had first met Watson in the university's chemistry lab. Just say the groundbreaking reasoning of "You're from Afghanistan?"

The image of Sherlock Holmes suddenly became real. After reading this novel. Li Conan always felt empty in his heart, and the case of Sherlock Holmes ended like this?

He was reluctant to open the second novel for a long time.

This is the first time for him, you know, he is scrambling to read any novel of Yanyan, and even in order to see it in advance, he can pay a lot of price.

But this time, it's different.

Call.

Li Conan took a deep breath, he didn't think that the second novel would attract him more than Sherlock Holmes.

In other words, why did Zhang Can write two books!

……

It's a shame that Zhang Can didn't hear this, otherwise this guy would definitely be scolded back, if you didn't want two books to die or live, would I write two?

Conan took a deep breath and opened the second book.

Sherlock Holmes took a potion from the corner of the mantelpiece, and took out a hypodermic syringe from a neat goatskin leather case. He filled the fine needle with his long, white fingers and rolled up the shirt cuff of his left arm......"

Li Conan finally knew what was going on with the strangeness he always felt when he watched "The Study of Scarlet Letters"!

Serial!

Sherlock Holmes is a serialized novel!

"The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" consists of 4 novels and 56 short stories, and "A Study in Scarlet Letters" is the first one.

In A Study in Scarlet, the author introduces the protagonists Sherlock Holmes and Watson and all that goes into Baker Street for the first time. So the story of the mystery takes up a lot less space.

This book ushered in the "golden age" of detective fiction history!

This is a must-read book for mystery fiction lovers, I haven't read "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and I'm even embarrassed to say that I like mystery novels, this sentence is not an exaggeration to some extent, because the influence of this novel has gone beyond reasoning itself!

In fact, "Scarlet Word Study" is not particularly outstanding in the whole book, and has even been rejected several times! In fact, it is true, after the difficult release of the first work, Conan Doyle's second Sherlock Holmes work "Four Signatures" almost as soon as it was released, it became a sensation everywhere, causing a huge repercussion, and the name of Sherlock Holmes was also completely launched after this work.

Yes, the second book that Zhang Can sent to Li Conan was "Four Signatures".
