Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad.

Chapter 285 "A Study of Letters in Scarlet" is too simple?

The beginning of the first part of "Sherlock Holmes" is narrated from Watson's first point of view.

The concise introduction makes the image of "me" appear vividly on the page.

Watson is a military doctor who returned to England from the battlefield due to an injury. He was looking for a less luxurious and inexpensive place to live, so Watson found Holmes to share the house with.

"So that's it..."

"Not a medic detective, I mean..."

"This is Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of this novel, look forward to it!"

"It feels like this is a mystery series!"

……

The first readers to get "Sherlock Holmes" were immediately immersed in the book.

And compared with the slowness of "Harry Potter" in the early stages, "Sherlock Holmes" completely attracted readers' attention from the beginning. In the first chapter, when Watson and Holmes first met, readers were shocked.

However, he has profound attainments in the chemical knowledge, anatomy knowledge and even geology knowledge required to fight crime.

"Suspense mystery novels, this is the point."

"221 Baker Street."

Speaking of which, in the evaluation of his previous life, Holmes was a complete geek. His knowledge was very broad and narrow at the same time, as if he was specially reserved for fighting crime.

Keep working hard and gain more knowledge.

Next, the plot does not go beyond the readers’ expectations, and the case comes!

"Never question the old thief..."

["I can see that you have been to Afghanistan."]

The only clues are a wedding ring that rolled off the deceased's body and the word "RACHE" written in blood on the wall.

This is the home of Watson and Holmes, and it’s also a home that any Sherlock fan from a previous life will remember!

This is a letter from a detective from the National Police Agency inviting Sherlock Holmes to investigate!

And this "A Study in Scarlet" officially kicked off.

Li Liyue murmured.

Just last night, a murder occurred in a house on Garden Street in Lauriston. The deceased was from Michigan. The body was neatly dressed and had a business card in the bag. There were no signs of being robbed, and no evidence of anything was found. Evidence of cause of death.

"I didn't expect that the old thief could actually write character reasoning. This is very difficult!"

When Holmes met Watson for the first time, he said this, which immediately shocked the readers!

It’s just that at this time, Holmes didn’t explain too much. He just discussed the blood experiments with Watson. In this description, he was actually characterizing, from the tone of conversation to the familiarity with chemical knowledge. .

Although there were a few blood stains inside the house, there were no injuries on the deceased.

The pace of the plot is very fast. After several sentences, Watson and Holmes got to know each other better. From Watson's perspective, Holmes is a calm man, has regular living habits, and is extremely enthusiastic about certain aspects of research. , and is extremely knowledgeable in some weird and bizarre fields of knowledge!

"Is this the image of a detective?"

Massacre in Lauriston Garden Street!

"A case is coming!"

He has almost no knowledge of literature, philosophy, astronomy, and politics.

The image of detectives in different works is different, but there is no doubt that the image of Sherlock Holmes is very charming from the description.

……

"Damn it! Did you set up the case to be so awesome?"

"I still feel familiar with the detective novels of this era, but now criminal investigation and the detectives of the 19th century are completely different things!"

"Although it is a British-style novel, I look more fluent than in Harry Potter!"

The audience sighed with emotion, and the excitement on their faces became more and more intense.

Modern criminal investigation technology is quite advanced. It is so advanced that computer algorithms can find a person's movement trajectory from massive surveillance based on a person's clothes or walking posture. Therefore, modern suspense authors often do not place their stories in modern times with advanced criminal investigation technology, because they will lose a lot of suspense and plot twists.

Even "The Long Night" and "Undocumented Crime" were all set twenty years ago.

The helpless policeman turned to Holmes for help.

Such a plot mode gives readers an instant sense of immersion!

In the following story, all Jiuzhou readers will follow Sherlock Holmes and use his keen observation, rich scientific knowledge, rigorous logical reasoning, superhuman courage and wisdom to solve this complicated and confusing case.

After examining the victim's body, Holmes concluded that the victim had been poisoned!

After on-site observation, research on the word in scarlet and comprehensive situation analysis, Holmes seems to be more confident at this moment...

……

"This length..."

"It feels like an opening chapter."

Li Liyue is a professional suspense author, so it can be seen that this "A Study in Scarlet" is not complicated in terms of plot or case setting.

It's just that the old thief's powerful character creation really makes other authors salivate!

This "A Study in Scarlet" is not outstanding among the entire "Sherlock Holmes" series of cases, including the evaluations on major book websites in previous lives, where the ratings are not considered high.

But what is of great significance is that this work is the first case of "Sherlock Holmes"!

Starting from the second work "Four Signatures", it was the time when he really became famous.

……

"So simple?"

"It's so clever...hiss..."

"What do you mean, old thief?"

The process of solving the case in "A Study in Scarlet" is extremely simple. In order to solve the case, Holmes published a lost and found revelation in the newspaper. The murderer disguised himself as an old lady and took away the ring!

Through this strategy, Holmes concluded that the criminal was proficient in disguise and had accomplices.

Later, after a series of reasoning and research, the murderer Hope was identified!

The rapid solving of the case caught readers off guard!

But I was caught off guard, not because I was disappointed with the whole case, but because I was curious!

Except for Holmes, all readers, including the characters in the book, are kept in the dark.

The criminal was suddenly arrested?

How to kill people?

Why kill people?

How did Holmes know who the criminal was?

The content of one hundred thousand words is not too complicated, but it is more concise than the previous works.

The content of the second half is written in the classic old thief style, with narration, flashbacks and interludes to narrate the whole story, allowing readers to slowly relax their hanging hearts.

Starting from the prisoner Hope's experience in Michigan when he was young, it narrates that the victim killed Hope's beloved lover and his father, and how Hope followed the enemy all the way to London and carried out revenge until he was arrested.

In this narration, readers are actually feeling emotional for the tragedy of the murderer Hope.

The reason why the murderer was caught so easily was because Hope was terminally ill and had no regard for life or death. When he was arrested, he had a smile on his face, and he had a smile on his face until he died in prison.

From the reader's intuitive perspective, the entire work cleverly combines reasoning and story. Although the focus is not on the entire reasoning process, it is still a wonderful work!

It is precisely because of this that many readers have very complicated emotions after reading "A Study in Scarlet".
