Chapter 1378: Exclamations on Baker Street

Quite a few people went to Cleo's Cletirian's Bar.

And after the Cletilian Bar, more people went to the most important place, the most wanted by countless detective fans, Baker Street.

Baker Street was known to very few people before, but it was known after all.

Moreover, it can be found on the map, and its location is not remote.

So, also from the morning, a large number of detective fans appeared on Baker Street.

They knew that it was impossible to meet Sherlock Holmes here, but they couldn't help but come here.

At the very least, they can confirm that there really is a number 221B on this street?

They whispered as they walked slowly down the street.

"The location of this street is not remote, why is it so deserted? ”

"It seems that no one lives there, and why is there no house number? Is there a 221B here?"

"I don't know, 221B may be a random fictitious house number made up by Mr. Li Fan. ”

β€œ......”

A group of people tried to find number 221B, but found that all the apartments did not have a house number in front of them.

Just as they were all wondering if there would be a 221B here, one of them suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, look, 221B." ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked in the direction that the man pointed out just now, and sure enough, they saw a house number hanging at the end of the street, on the right side of the door of the apartment, which read: No. 221B.

Moreover, its house number has obvious traces of age, and it is not a new house number.

This house number is naturally YΓ‘rvis who moved the house number inside the apartment to the outside of the gate.

Now that he knew that someone would come to visit, Jarvis naturally wanted to let the guests find out.

The crowd that found No. 221B was excited and walked quickly to the door of Apartment No. 221B.

He looked carefully at the door in front of him and the apartment inside the gate with great interest.

"It's amazing that there really is a 221B! Judging by the age of this house number, this house number has been around for a long time. ”

"I know why Mr. Li Fan let Holmes live at 221B. I think it was Mr. Li Fan, when he accidentally passed by this street, he found that this apartment was the only one with a house number, so he decided to let his friend, Sherlock Holmes, live here. ”

"It's probably like that, and the apartment seems to be actually occupied. ”

"It does feel like it's really inhabited, wouldn't it be Mr. Holmes? Well, I know, of course it's impossible. ”

"Do you remember what Mr. Li Fan said at the Detective Festival before?"

"Of course, Mr. Li Fan said at the time, 'This old friend of mine lives on Baker Street, he is a detective, and he has always had a dream in his heart, and I decided to write a new book to help him realize his dream. ’”

"Yes, that's what Mr. Li Fan said at the time, Mr. Li Fan said that he has an old friend who lives on this street, and from what we have just observed, it seems that only this apartment is inhabited on this street. In other words, the owner of this apartment should be a friend of Mr. Li Fan. However, Mr. Li Fan said that he was a detective, what was going on?"

There was a saying before this, and many people thought that the friend Mr. Li Fan was talking about was his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. ”

"I know this statement, but now that apartment 221B is really inhabited, it means that the friend Mr. Li Fan is talking about should be a friend in reality, not the famous detective Sherlock Holmes in his pen. ”

"This is strange, what does Mr. Li Fan mean by that? I still haven't figured it out. ”

"In my opinion, knocking on the door, visiting the owner, and asking him if he knows Mr. Li Fan? ”

"Good idea, I agreed to pay a visit to the owner here. ”

β€œ......”

Everyone agreed to visit the owner of the apartment, and a crisp knock sounded on the silent street.

"Will anyone open the door?" the crowd was unsure, a little nervous, excited, and expectant as they waited.

After a long while, there was no movement in the door, and everyone shook their heads and sighed in disappointment, as if no one would open the door.

And at this time, the sound of footsteps was faintly heard inside the gate.

Everyone was suddenly inexplicably surprised and excited, and hurriedly held their breath to prevent themselves from making a sound, and listened carefully to the faint footsteps inside the door.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone's hearts were beating faster and faster.

Finally, with a long "squeak" sound, the closed door was slowly opened.

Everyone stared at the open door and thought to themselves, how should they greet their master, and how should they make their intentions clear to their master?

"Hello, sir, sorry to bother you, we're ......," said a curly-haired man closest to the door, intending to say hello to the owner of the apartment.

However, before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he exclaimed with the others, "Mr. Holmes!"

Yes, they will never forget this moment, they saw Sherlock Holmes.

The person who opened the door was an old man, but the old man was in good spirits, full of red light, his hair was black, his back was straight, his height was more than 180 cm, his slender hooked nose was very conspicuous, and his jaw was square and prominent, and he did not look like an old man.

Of course, that's not the point, and it's not the reason for the crowd's exclamation.

The reason why everyone exclaimed was because the old man who opened the door in front of him, that is, the owner of this apartment, had a seven- or eight-point similarity with the image illustration of Sherlock Holmes on the cover of "Sherlock Holmes".

It's just that the old man is a little older, and he doesn't have a pipe in his hand.

The character image of Sherlock Holmes on the cover has long been engraved in the minds of everyone at the scene, and it has already been very smart and expressive.

However, where would they have thought that they would actually see the real "Sherlock Holmes" in reality.

What's more, this "Mr. Holmes" lives at 221B Baker Street.

Exclaim! Exclamation in disbelief! Exclamation of surprise and excitement!

And after the exclamation, some people whose minds turned faster vaguely understood the reason.

Li Fan said at the scene that day that he had a friend who lived on Baker Street, and it should be the old man in front of him.

And the character of Sherlock Holmes created by him is based on the old man in front of him.

The friend Li Fan said was not only the old man in the reality in front of him, but also his fictional character, Sherlock Holmes.

This also explains the second half of the sentence, Li Fan said that he decided to write a new book to help his friend realize a dream that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Now it seems that it is to help the old man in front of him and realize a dream in his heart.

What is the old man's dream, is it to be a detective, or something else?

This is not known for sure, and it is not easy to ask.

But one thing is certain, whatever the old man's dream is, it should come true.

Li Fan really helped the old man realize his dream through a work.
