Guy Ritchie was busy with his divorce case with Madonna at this time, and he didn't even read the script sent by MGM and threw it in the drawer, if it weren't for MGM's attention to this matter, he almost forgot about it after several urgings.

On the first night of the divorce verdict, Guy Ritchie, who was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, finally remembered this script, originally he just wanted to flip through it casually, but he didn't expect to be deeply attracted by the story made up by Lin Mingyang.

When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, most people think of a plaid striped deer hunting hat, tall and thin, with a pale face, a pipe in his mouth, playing with a cane, two wise light smoke slowly puffing out of his slender hooked nose, and a pair of eyes sharper than a falcon that make all evil hidden... It was with this imagination that Guy Ritchie went to read the script written by Lin Mingyang, but he found that his guess was completely subverted.

Rescued at sea, Holmes reluctantly accepted the fact that he had come more than 100 years later, and came to the United States with an inexplicable identity. Faced with New York's high-rise buildings and all kinds of "weird" modern things, Sherlock Holmes made a lot of jokes at the beginning.

Sophie, a kind prosecutor, takes in a homeless Sherlock Holmes, and Sophie is helpless that Holmes insists on his identity. She wondered if Holmes had suffered brain damage during the shipwreck and was delirious, but she took Holmes to several hospitals, where doctors confirmed that Holmes' brain had not been damaged in any way, and they attributed Holmes' symptoms to severe paranoia.

When Sophie was running around for the "problem" in Holmes's brain, Holmes himself was confused, and he used the Internet he had just learned to search for the historical almanac of London, England for the past two hundred years, and found that the people he was familiar with, the London he had lived, had no trace of history at all.

Sherlock Holmes, who is good at analytical reasoning, was completely stunned in this matter, he found that his past life and his past life did not exist at all, and in the novels of Conan Doyle, which Sophie specially bought, he saw the people and things he was familiar with, and he began to wonder, is he really from the world of fiction?

While Holmes is struggling with his identity, Sophie is also in big trouble at work. She is in charge of investigating a mysterious murder case, and the murderer is so cunning that the scene of the crime has not left any useful traces at all, and Sophie and her colleagues have tried all kinds of methods to solve it, but they still have no clue.

Sherlock Holmes noticed that Sophie had been working late these days and had become very grumpy when she returned, and he deduced that Sophie might be in trouble. Although he didn't have a problem of his own, Holmes still inquired about Sophie's troubles.

Hearing that it was a difficult murder to solve, Holmes immediately became interested. Unable to bear his bitter pleading, Sophie had no choice but to briefly introduce him to the basic situation of the murder. In fact, Sophie didn't believe that even modern high-tech detective technology could see any flaws in the case, and what could Sherlock Holmes, a guy with a "problem" in his brain, find out from it.

It's a pity that she was wrong, Sherlock Holmes, who has invincible reasoning ability, really found the flaws exposed by the murderer when he committed the crime from some subtle places, and his exquisite and accurate analysis and guessing of the crime scene made Sophie impress him.

Sophie made an exception and took Sherlock Holmes into the scene of the crime, Sherlock Holmes held a magnifying glass and hung a pipe to inspect the scene by Sophie's colleagues laughed at it very shamefully, but Sherlock Holmes was not disappointed by Sophie, he found the key to solving the case from some clues that people ignored and missed, and then successfully deduced the whole case, and assisted Sophie to obtain evidence, and then brought the criminal to justice who no one expected.

Meticulous and superb logical thinking finally triumphed over high-tech crime-solving methods, and behind the breathtaking plot is the editor's ingenious and ingenious arrangement. This plot is just the beginning, but Guy Ritchie has turned it back and forth three times, and only then has a nuanced understanding of how Sherlock Holmes solved the mysterious murder.

I have to admit that Lin Mingyang's ability to make up stories has reached the pinnacle. The puzzles and decryptions, the grasp of the details of the reasoning and the restoration of the truth, as well as the extensive knowledge of physics and chemistry involved, all constitute the indispensable and wonderful elements of this high-IQ film script. That kind of reasoning makes people feel the urge to continue looking down, and Guy Ritchie feels like this at this time.

He couldn't wait to open the later chapters of the script, if the plot continued to develop like this, maybe it would be another suspense masterpiece comparable to "The Da Vinci Code", but at this time, Lin Mingyang suddenly turned his pen, bringing the development of the whole story into a new unknown state.

With the assistance of Sherlock Holmes, Sophie solved many difficult cases one after another. In the course of the collaboration, Sophie slowly discovers that Sherlock Holmes is not the psychopath who "goes into the devil" of reading detective novels as he imagined, and his meticulous thinking and rigorous logical judgment are not like what a person with severe paranoia can have.

However, Sophie still can't accept Holmes's "absurd" background, and under her influence, Holmes slowly begins to adapt to modern life, and just when they both begin to try to enter each other's worlds, an invitation takes them on a new adventure.

One of the companies has invented a simulation game called "Lair", a simulation game that can change the values of the game industry around the world, and this virtual game is a virtual game made with the highest technology in modern times, and it is a presentation of a virtual game in which players ride in a cocoon-like airtight cabin, reproduce historical events through computer simulations, and challenge the event in a state of false sleep.

Touting that the game's interviews would change the course of human civilization, the game held a huge press conference in Tokyo, where celebrities from all over the world were invited, and Sophie, a celebrity in the American criminal investigation community, also received an invitation to attend the presentation that attracted the attention of the world. She and Sherlock Holmes became lucky viewers and were invited to be among the first to experience the game.

Just as 50 lucky spectators, including Sherlock Holmes and Sophie, entered the game pod, the accident happened. Taro Miyamoto, the developer and person in charge of the game, was killed at the presentation venue. At the same time as the murder occurred, an artificial intelligence calling itself "Noah" broke into the computer system of the "lair" and cut off all the channels of communication between the 50 players in the virtual world, and then announced to everyone in the real world that in this game of solving historical events, as long as one person survives to the end, it will be considered a winner. However, if no one survives to the end, everyone who participates in the game will die here.

A runaway game begins, as Holmes and Sophie are transported to London 100 years ago surrounded by dark fog, where they are shocked to discover that the game's levels are set in a time that Holmes knew all too well from Conan Doyle's novels.

At the time of entering the game, Holmes is found lying on the boat of his residence on Baker Street. At first, Holmes thought he had a dream, he dreamed that he was back 100 years ago, when he had flying iron birds in the sky, trains no longer smoked, and he didn't even have to go to the theater to watch a play, but to a screen that would glow. In that dream, he also met a woman named Sophie, who helped her solve many difficult cases.

Sherlock Holmes opens his eyes, only to find that his assistant Watson has become Sophie, and he realizes that he is not dreaming, and that it is all just a virtual game. Because the appearance of "Noah" cut off their contact with the outside world, they do not know what is happening in reality.

Sherlock Holmes and Sophie do not trigger the game quest at first, and return to their own world, and Holmes enthusiastically acts as a guide for Sophie, taking her on a tour of 19th-century Conan Doyle's foggy capital.

But in the end, trouble came to the door, a horrific murder occurred in London, and Scotland Yard detective Rex remembered his "old friend" Sherlock Holmes in desperation.

This is a serial murder case, the first murder occurred more than a month ago, the original victim was found in Whitechapel in London's East End, the deceased was a middle-aged woman Martha Tabrien, who was stabbed 39 times, nine of which were slashed in the throat. Half a month later, another woman, Marie Nicholas, was found dead in the storage area near Whitechapel at the age of 43.

Not only was she bruised on her face, some of her front teeth were lost, and her neck was cut twice. But the most cruel thing is that the abdomen was dissected, the intestines were dragged out, and the female vagina was also severely stabbed with a sharp blade. Since homicides occur in the vicinity of the church, the two cases have caused panic among local residents. The police had no clue after investigating the scene, so they had to put more plainclothes police patrols in the area, and local residents also organized patrols to maintain law and order.

Eight days later, an old coachman living at 29 Hamberning Street found the body of a woman, 47-year-old Anne Chapman, in the back fence of his cheap rental apartment. Like the previous deceased, she had her throat slit and had her disemboweled, her intestines thrown onto her right shoulder, and part of her uterus and abdomen had been cut off by the killers. It has obvious strangulation marks on its neck, and it is said that he called for help before his death, but it went unnoticed.

For more than a month, 3 people were killed one after another, all of whom were girls, and the killer's killer methods were extremely cruel, Rao is Sophie is used to seeing all kinds of murder scenes, and her stomach couldn't help but roll when she listened to Rex's description of the case.

After listening to the description of the case, Holmes quickly came to the characteristics of the suspect: from the point of view of the criminal's method of killing, he must have considerable knowledge of anatomy. Considering that the environment at that time was outdoors, there was basically no lighting, and the criminal completed the crime in an extremely stressful time when he had to be vigilant about his surroundings at all times, it is certain that the other party was a skilled knife user.

All three victims were stabbed from left to right, suggesting that the offender was most likely not left-handed, or could use a knife with both hands. This speculation indirectly indicates that the offender was most likely an experienced doctor or anatomist. Based on the criminal's goals, Holmes also concluded that the other party had a low sense of social presence, was unobtrusive, and may have functional defects in the surname.

After listening to his analysis, Rex fell into deep thought, obviously he had found some clues to solve the case from Holmes's judgment, but Holmes deduced only some vague characteristics, and to find the real culprit in the vast sea of people in London was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Sophie, on the other hand, discovers a surprising truth from Sherlock Holmes's reasoning, and the case they encounter is exactly the same as the murder experience of the most notorious killer in European and American culture, "Jack the Ripper". Sophie is keenly aware that the game is likely to set them up to solve the murder of "Jack the Ripper".

Sophie tells Holmes about her discovery and predicts the next move of "Jack the Ripper". Sure enough, the Central News Agency soon received a letter written in red ink and stamped with fingerprints, signed "Jack the Ripper". In the letter, he jokingly stated that he was the murderer of the girl, and claimed that he would continue to kill more of the girl before he was arrested.

This confirmed Sophie's judgment, but her mood became very depressed as a result. "Jack the Ripper" is the most famous headless case in history, "Jack the Ripper" wrote many public letters to provoke during the crime, but he never fell into the legal net. His bold modus operandi was repeatedly exaggerated by the media and caused panic in British society at that time. Although the period of the crime has been committed for 100 years, the number of books and related studies on the case has increased. However, due to the lack of evidence, there are different accounts of who the murderer is, and there is no intersection, which makes the case even more confusing.

Even if she was able to grasp the next plan of action of "Jack the Ripper" in advance, Sophie was not sure that she would be able to catch the other party. Because the place of the crime is mainly concentrated near the Whitechapel in London's East End. At that time, it was a well-known settlement for immigrants in London, with tens of thousands of immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe settling here. With its meagre incomes, it has long been a hotbed of poverty and crime, and the streets are littered with homeless hooligans and solicitors.

Although Scotland Yard established a city-wide patrol network in 1829, the weak police force could not afford to keep the East End policing with tens of thousands of women every night. With no camera surveillance, no fingerprint recognition, no DNA identification, Sophie has no confidence in solving the case.

The most important thing is that the game designer does not know the true identity of "Jack the Ripper", which greatly increases the uncertain surname of the murderer, and it is not ordinary to find the murderer set by the other party from the fog of history.

Sherlock Holmes didn't want Sophie to give up, he took out the first time that the two of them worked together to solve that case in reality, high-tech detection technology is not necessarily more effective than personal logical reasoning in many cases, and Holmes is very confident in his ability.

According to Sophie's knowledge of the whole case, they set up an ambush in advance at the place where Jack the Ripper's next target was killed. Elisabeth Stude, a 44-year-old Swedish journalist, was indeed attacked by criminals, and the police, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, rushed up and easily subdued the criminals.

"Jack the Ripper" was easily caught, Sophie always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and Holmes also sensed the problem, and the criminals who were caught were definitely not the real culprits they wanted to catch.

Holmes and Sophie both thought of what was likely to be a ploy by the criminals, and just as a large number of police officers arrived at the scene of Elizabeth Stude's crime, around 1:45 a.m., the 46-year-old girl Catherine Edaus was found lying dead in Bishop Square. In addition to being cut out of her throat and disemboweled, and her intestines were thrown to her right chest, she was also robbed of part of her uterus and kidneys.

Sherlock Holmes realizes that the "Jack the Ripper" is far more cunning than they thought, and according to Sophie's knowledge of the "Jack the Ripper" case, the murderer will kill one more person and disappear forever, which means that they only have one chance left in their hands.

In view of the failure of the previous operation, Holmes became cautious this time, and he asked Sophie to list all the clues of the entire "Jack the Ripper" case, and on this basis, he carried out careful and rigorous reasoning, and finally found the trajectory of the murderer's crime.

After a careful planning, a large net of capture was quietly unfolded in the East End of London, and they used the method of "luring the snake out of the hole" to catch the killer who was about to commit the murder, and then subdued the opponent with great difficulty.

Both Holmes and Sophie thought that the real "Jack the Ripper" had finally been caught this time, but the next day Scotland Yard received a report that a landlord on Dorsey Street asked his assistant to go to Mary Carey's room to collect six weeks of unpaid rent, only to find the 25-year-old young girl tragically dead in her bed through the window: she had a strangulation mark on her neck, her chest and abdomen were cut open, and her ears, nose and rube were cut off from her face.

Two consecutive misses made Holmes begin to doubt his own ability, and he even felt that in this virtual game, he was not the omnipotent detective Sherlock Holmes at all.

Sophie said, "If Sherlock Holmes doesn't show up, you are our Sherlock Holmes." There's no case you can't do. Rekindling Holmes's fighting spirit, he locked himself in his room for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, and finally deduced the real murderer, who was about to leave London by train.

During the capture, in order to save the lives of the other passengers on the train, Holmes decides to die with "Jack the Ripper", and they win the computer as long as Sophie is alive. Sophie, on the other hand, felt that there was no need for Sherlock Holmes to sacrifice himself, because the lives in the game were all virtual, and the lives of those passengers were nothing more than a pile of cold data in reality.

Insisting that life in the game is equally worthy of respect, Holmes resolutely jumps off the train. After the virtual game was cleared, Sophie woke up from the game pod, and the other players also walked out of the game pod, except for the game pod that Sherlock Holmes entered without any reaction.

Sophie opens the game pod with the help of the staff, only to find that it is empty, and the mysterious program "Noah" reappears at this time, claiming to be the murderer of Taro Miyamoto, and Sophie is able to defeat him in the game, thus gaining the qualification to challenge him in reality.

Sophie instinctively realized that Holmes's disappearance had a great connection with the mysterious "Noah", and she firmly believed that she was not fighting alone, and that Holmes must be fighting side by side with her in an unknown place, so Sophie resolutely accepted the other party's challenge.
