Chapter 85: Listing!
The fifth man opened the book.
"The Study of Blood Letters" is described from the first perspective of Dr. Watson.
The background of the original work of "Sherlock Holmes" is a little different from the current one, and Qi Yuan made some changes when he was writing.
"In 1878, after receiving my M.D., I went on to study military medicine at the Military Academy. As soon as I graduated, I was sent to the army as an assistant military doctor......"
The beginning of the book unfolds slowly in the first person.
It's kind of interesting.
The fifth person has also written mystery novels from a first-person perspective over the years, and has a lot of experience in this area.
After reading two pages, he knew that Tang Yuan's book didn't seem to be sent out on an ad hoc basis.
The book "Sherlock Holmes" is based on Watson as the first point of view, but everyone knows that the protagonist of this book is not him, because it can be seen from the title of the book.
The fifth person continued to flip.
Watson was looking for a house to live in London, and with a friend, he came to Sherlock Holmes.
The first encounter between the two people, Sherlock Holmes was actually whipping a corpse!
This picture, in the thriller, carries an inexplicably indescribable palpitating thing.
This is what Holmes' first appearance is?
This is the protagonist of this book?
A subtle smile curled up at the corner of the fifth man's mouth.
Such a protagonist really doesn't look like a protagonist, not great enough, not calm enough, and it seems, even ...... More like a madman, a pervert!
At this time, Holmes looked at Watson and his friends, and then said that he did it to solve the case.
Seeing this, the fifth person's heart jumped again.
The character shaping of this protagonist is very unusual, and it is different from the mainstream protagonist templates on the market now, very weird, and very peculiar.
But it has to be said that the curiosity is also very great.
That's what draws the reader to look down.
If it's in an online article, it can be called a sense of anticipation.
Take the more popular entertainment novels in the previous life online texts, this sense of expectation is to describe what the protagonist is doing in the previous article, but the public does not know.
For example, variety shows and the like, so that readers will always look forward to the broadcast of this show in the future.
It's a sense of anticipation.
And in Sherlock Holmes's novel, or this type of mystery novel, the main sense of expectation that drives readers to read it is naturally how the case happened and who is the murderer behind it.
But this, the fifth man does not see in the opening chapter of Sherlock Holmes.
He felt that it would be difficult for this book to attract readers of mystery novels.
If you were an ordinary reader, you might not be reading it anymore when you see this.
But now it's different, this is a new book that Tang Yuan and himself launched at the same time.
Can he do it if he doesn't see it?
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one be invincible.
The fifth man continued to turn the page.
Sherlock Holmes saw Watson, whom he met for the first time, and said, "You can see that you have come back from Afghanistan." ”
"How do you know?" Now it was Watson's turn to be surprised.
Of course, it was the reader's turn to be surprised.
That's right! How did Holmes know?
It was the first time he had met Dr. Watson!
Watson was too curious about Sherlock Holmes.
At this time, Holmes told Watson that he had just learned from his conversation and his observations of Watson that Watson had just returned from the battlefield.
Here, for the first time, one of Sherlock Holmes's case-solving schemes appeared, the reasoning and deduction method!
When I saw the fifth person here, I chuckled in my heart, this description, this reasoning and deduction method, so powerful!
Holmes was able to know that Watson had fought and even knew about his injuries through observation, and also knew that Watson was a military doctor!
All of this is derived from Sherlock Holmes's reasoning and deduction!
The fifth person was secretly frightened when he saw it, and in the first few pages he still had the idea of abandoning the book in his heart, but seeing this, he was already deeply attracted!
Watson and Sherlock Holmes happily shared a flat together, and 221 Baker Street was their residence.
One day, Watson was surprised to find that Sherlock Holmes knew almost nothing about contemporary literature, philosophy, and politics, but he had a lot of knowledge related to the case.
At this point, Holmes uttered his theory: "I think that the human brain is like a small empty attic, and that there should be a choice in the furniture for the attic, and that only a fool would stuff all sorts of groceries into it, so that useful knowledge will be squeezed out...... A smart man must be careful and selective, and his little attic contains only tools that are helpful for his work......"
In just a short paragraph, Tang Yuan created an image of Sherlock Holmes who is extremely persistent in solving cases!!
Holmes was confident, even to the point of conceit, and swore by his words, but indeed, his judgments were all right.
And all of this is based on Sherlock Holmes's amazing powers of observation.
This detective is really unusual!
Next, the first case of the book, "The Study of Scarlet Letters" officially debuted!
At the scene of the murder, the shirt, cuffs, nails, hair, and even the expression on the corpse before death were all in the eyes of Holmes.
Based on this, he made extremely careful reasoning.
Is this Sherlock Holmes' method of deductive reasoning?
reasoning one by one, I saw the fifth person's scalp tingling.
At the end of the story, the vengeful murderer is caught.
And the image of this Sherlock Holmes, a man with a bowler hat and a pipe in his hand, is deeply imprinted in the heart of the fifth person.
He slowly closed the book.
Before I knew it, it was already noon!
The fifth man breathed a deep sigh of relief, intending to buy back Tang Yuan's two books.
He has almost read "The Study of Blood Letters", but the details in it, and the second "Four Signatures" he still has to read.
But!
At this time, he was shocked to find that in this bookstore under his feet, only the Sherlock Holmes in his hand was left!
Everything else is sold out!
Star City Press.
Qian Fuqiang looked at the editor-in-chief and said with a smile: "Today's sales are even better than we expected, but fortunately, our stock in the early stage is very sufficient." ”
An editor answered: "This is the first appearance of Tang Yuan's Sherlock Holmes, it's too gorgeous!" ”
"This reasoning deduction is really awesome, and the image of Sherlock Holmes holding a pipe in my mind now lingers!"
"I feel like Sherlock Holmes is going to be on fire!"
"You don't have to feel it, just look at the phone ringing in the printing department and you'll know how Sherlock Holmes is selling!"
On the first day of its release, Sherlock Holmes sold 1.3 million copies!
It's hot for a while!
