Unlike the cold and windy weather outside, the bookstore is heated and it is extra warm.

"Today is really evil, the temperature has plummeted, and there is such a strong wind." Walking into the bookstore, Brown? Taylor let out a sigh of comfort and said secretly, "However, our UK is already like spring all year round, and I heard that Xianshui City in China can reach more than ten degrees below zero in winter!" Oh God, if I go there, I'm afraid I won't survive a winter. The Chinese are terrible. ”

After entering the bookstore and searching for it, he soon found the book he wanted to buy.

"Trial", "Sherlock Holmes", all have.

"Huh?! That's a lot! I heard that every time that Ye in Huaxia releases a new book, it will be sold out on the first morning, and many Huaxia people will even queue up to buy it in order to ensure that they are purchased. Brown muttered to himself, then patted his head a little abruptly, and said, "I'm stupid, this is England." Ye is not that famous. ”

After looking at it carefully, he found that there were many more "Sherlock Holmes" there than "Trial".

It seems that there are many British people who come to buy "Trial" in response to Queen Elizabeth's words, and relatively speaking, this "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" is not cared for.

"Released together with "Trial", it is obviously a work that takes the opportunity to make money. What a clumsy approach. Brown shook his head and said secretly.

Picking up a copy of "Judgment" and about to go to the cashier to pay, he couldn't help but stop, checked the book in his hand, and then looked back at the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" that was lying there alone, and after hesitating for a while, he finally went to get a copy, and then went to pay together.

Prince Harry is a fan of Ye, and the queen has also praised Ye, if this "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" sells too poorly, at the very least, the prince's face will not look good, because his idol is on the street.

"If this Sherlock Holmes Detective Book is not good. The money from the book is considered to be contributed to Her Majesty the Queen. Brown said secretly, paid, and turned to leave. After passing through the bitter cold wind again, I returned home.

After shaking his body and taking off his coat and hanging it, Brown took the two books out of his shopping bag.

The Trial.

Sherlock Holmes.

Hawkers, naturally, look at the former first.

After putting "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" in your hand. He first picked up the book of "Judgment", which was praised by the queen and made him look forward to it for a long time.

Looking carefully at the cover, it is simple and unpretentious, not exaggerated at all, not even a picture, only a few lines. Such a cover made him very satisfied, and in his aesthetic, the cover of serious literature should be so simple.

The author's name is written as "Yu, Ye".

He knew that Chinese names and English names were written opposite in the first and last names. The Chinese name comes first, the first name comes last, the English name comes first, and the surname comes last, in other words, if the name is translated back into Chinese, it should be Ye first.

"The Huaxia people should call him Ye, Yu." Brown read it, shook his head and smiled, "The names of Huaxia people are really hard to pronounce. Forget it, let's call him Ye, it's much simpler. ”

Turning the page, he began to read.

The more you read. His brow furrowed the tighter.

When you're done, turn back to the first page and read it again.

After reading it twice, he put down "Judgment" with some trepidation and said, "It seems that I belong to the 29%." ”

He read it patiently twice. I don't seem to understand it, but I always feel like it's amazing.

"It feels like an expressionist work...... Brown frowned, "and it's hard to understand this kind of novel, whether it's good or bad, just look at the comments of the masters in the newspapers tomorrow." Now...... Well, let's have lunch first, I'm hungry. ”

With that, he got up, rummaged through the fryer for a while, and then simply made a pasta and fried a steak.

He wanted to open a bottle of red wine, but thinking that he was on sick leave to recuperate, he reluctantly dismissed this tempting idea.

After lunch and watching TV, Brown went back to his room for a nap.

Time passed slowly, and it was about two o'clock in the afternoon London time that he went out of the room in his pajamas, returned to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

Yawned, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, changed a lot of channels, Brown looked bored, and felt that it was really boring, and the TV was nothing to see.

As his gaze swept around, a book leaped into his field of vision.

The cover is predominantly gray-black and depicts a silhouette of a man with thin cheeks, an elongated hooked nose and protruding jaws, a pipe in his mouth, and a deer-hunting hat on his head.

It was the book that seemed to have been forgotten by him, and was lying in the corner at the moment and no one cared about it.

"There's nothing to do anyway, just take a look." With that in mind, Brown turned off the TV and picked up Sherlock Holmes.

Flipping to the table of contents page, he found that the book contained one long story and four short stories.

After a casual glance, he turned to the first page and read the long story - "A Study of Blood Letters".

Chapter 1 "Sherlock? Mr. Holmes

"In 1878, after obtaining my M.D. at the University of London, I went to Natley to study military medicine. No sooner had I completed my compulsory courses there than I was sent to Northumberland as an assistant medic for the 5th Musket Regiment......"

After reading a few words, Brown frowned because he saw one word—"I."

Could it be that this is a first-person detective novel?

He thought about it like this, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still read it. After looking at it for a moment, he furrowed his brow, because this "I" didn't look like a detective.

It's not like a detective, so it's not the protagonist.

Soon, according to Stanford Jr.'s name for "I", Brown learned the name of "I" - Watson.

Knowing the name, he was sure that this was not a first-person detective novel, because the main character was called Sherlock? Sherlock Holmes, as mentioned in the title of the book.

The time is 1878, the location is London, England, that is, the city where he is located, the narrative character is "I", named Watson, who used to be an assistant military doctor, but now he is riddled with injuries and illnesses, although there is government relief, but life is poor.

After sorting out the information that had been obtained, Brown was once again a little unhappy.

He felt that the author Ye deliberately arranged the location of the story in London, England.

"If the book is wonderful, then it is a work of sincerity, designed for our English readers. If the book is garbage, it is arranged in order to make money under the guise of collecting money. With that in mind, Brown continued to look at it.

Sometimes, the same thing, depending on whether the work is good or bad, gives people a big difference in feeling.

After reading a few more lines, Brown's eyes lit up slightly.

Because, he saw a character that interested him, and it was also in the title of the book - Sherlock? Mr. Holmes!
