Chapter 583: Resurrection
In the end, Erin Adler just left a letter asking Holmes to help her check someone, and she quickly left.
Instead, after she left, she soon got into a carriage and met a mysterious man hidden in the darkness.
Unlike the free-spirited and tasteful little woman form in the face of Sherlock Holmes, Erin seemed a little trembling when facing this mysterious person.
This was a bit of a surprise to Holmes, who was secretly following her.
- After all, in Holmes's impression, Irene, who had played him twice with stratagem, had always been a bold woman.
It turned out that after Erin Adler walked out of 221B Baker Street, Holmes immediately disguised himself and followed her.
This stalking scene is very interesting, not only does it provide a sketch of the streets of 19th-century London, but also focuses on the style of Erin Adler. - Especially when Erin was robbed by two little thieves, but she easily completed the counter-kill, knocked the two little thieves down, and took each other's wallets by the way.
"This is the Erin I know!"
Not only did Sherlock Holmes make this exclamation, but many veteran detective fans in front of the big screen had similar thoughts.
- At this moment, Ireen Adler, played by Nicole Kidman, looks beautiful and cunning, like a beautiful female thief who exudes a dangerous atmosphere.
"It's like a beautiful man-eating flower!"
Kenneth Turan sighed in his heart.
He now feels that Charlotte Booth made a wise decision to find Nicole Kidman to play Erin Adler.
After all, although there are many beauties in Hollywood, most of them are ordinary sweet sisters, and there are few who have this kind of knife-edge beauty.
Only such a woman is suitable to play a woman like Erin who can suppress Sherlock Holmes to a certain extent.
In contrast, he was more curious at this time, who was the person hiding in the shadow of the carriage-
"I wonder if it's Professor Moriarty!?"
Now that Erin Adler also appears, will the big boss in the Sherlock Holmes series, Professor Moriarty, the "Napoleon of the criminal world", appear?
Kenneth had some anticipation in his heart.
And in the movie, Sherlock Holmes is also doubting the identity of this mysterious man.
When he returned to 221B Baker Street, he opened the envelope that Erin had left behind with Watson, who had come to pack his belongings and prepare to move into his new home with his wife, Mary.
Inside, she asks Holmes to help her find a dwarf named Luke Relton.
This made Watson laugh at Holmes.
- In the eyes of the serious doctor, Holmes had a bit of a masochistic tendency to have a crush on Irene Adler just because she had overcome her in stratagem.
"Well, that's irrefutable!"
Kenneth Turan muttered to himself.
Indeed, even in Conan Doyle's original books, the reason why Holmes was interested in Erin Adler was also because the other party had defeated him in stratagem.
Therefore, Sherlock Holmes, who has always ignored women, will respectfully call her "that lady".
- This is also the reason why later Sherlock Holmes fans always like to pair him with Erin Adler.
From this point of view, the statement of "masochism" in the movie, although straightforward, cannot be said to be unreasonable.
And just as Sherlock Holmes and Watson continued to argue in 221B Baker Street, the visit of the Scotland Yard police completely unfolded the story -
It turned out that the hanged Earl of Blake Wood came back to life and came out of the grave.
- Naturally, the sensible Sherlock Holmes would not accept this statement, but he decided to investigate it anyway.
And Watson, who was about to leave, was stimulated by Holmes's words that "no girl wants to marry a doctor who can't even tell the difference between life and death", and went with him.
- Who asked Watson to perform the autopsy on Earl Blake Wood and issue a death certificate!
And at the site of the legendary resurrection of Earl Black Wood, which is his burial place, they found some clues.
The dwarf that Irene asked Holmes to help him find was also found—
He was killed and placed in the coffin of the Earl of Blake Wood.
Blake Wood's body was missing.
Or rather, he was resurrected.
Holmes naturally does not believe in the so-called "resurrection", even if the police officers in Scotland Yard are constantly trembling because of such a change in the circumstances of the case.
The wise Mr. Detective found the place where he lived before his death through some clues from the slain dwarf.
Of course, during this period, he also carefully hired an old gypsy woman who was a diviner, and warned Watson that life would become very bad after marriage, and he would not be as happy as before marriage.
- This little episode made many viewers laugh.
Unmarried viewers, such as Diana and Andrew, just found the clip funny, highlighting the camaraderie between Sherlock Holmes and Watson.
And for a married person like Kenneth Turan, it means far-reaching-
"In a way, this is indeed an absolutely correct prophecy!"
For those who have experienced marriage, the saying that marriage is the grave of love is indeed very true.
"However, man is inherently mortal!"
Kenneth thought to himself.
On the big screen, Holmes and Watson have already walked into the place where the dwarf Luke Ryulton lived before his death.
It's a small lab.
Of course, unlike the demanding and neat science labs of the modern era, Rainton's labs are filthy and smelly of decay.
Sherlock Holmes and Watson rummaged for clues, only to run into a few thugs who had been hired to burn down the place.
And among the thugs, a two-meter-tall Russian man made Holmes and Watson very helpless-
After all, at the end of the day, martial arts is a contest of strength and speed.
One force to ten meetings, even if Holmes has a unique fighting technique, but in the face of the opponent's exaggerated strength and size, it is useless.
- The fight between the two and the thugs was very dangerous at one point, but at the most dangerous time, Holmes found a strange device that seemed to have an electric current on it.
Holmes used this device to directly knock the Russian man flying.
"That's a bit of an exaggeration!"
Diana said with a smile.
As an FBI, she felt somewhat familiar with the device in Holmes's hands,
"This thing must have been the first electric batons!"
In any case, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, who reversed the situation with the help of "electric batons", began to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
And several thugs who fled, but fled into a shipyard.
Here, because of time, the power of this primitive "electric baton" is almost exhausted.
And after the thugs discovered this, the situation reversed again-
