Chapter 1375
Remember in one second【】
Apartment 221b Baker Street. . :.
Alves was sitting on a wicker chair, holding a copy of "The Sherlock Holmes" in his hand, looking at the portrait of Sherlock Holmes on the cover that looked very similar to him, just like looking at himself when he was young.
He has already finished reading the two stories "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of Four".
At this time, although he was sitting quietly on the wicker chair, deep in his heart, it was burning like a flame.
The hot burning flame made him feel as if he was decades younger, with endless energy and strength all over his body.
Of course, Alves knew that it was just an illusion in his mind.
But in the past few days, Alves really felt that he seemed much younger, and his already healthy body seemed to become even stronger.
Alves didn't know that this was actually because he took a cup of the space spirit spring that Li Fan gave him, but his body became healthier, which made him very excited.
Because he knew that his apartment at No. 221b Baker Street would continue to welcome many guests from now on.
Guests will come to visit Mr. Holmes, the detective who lives here.
Of course there is no Sherlock Holmes here, but there is Alves.
Moreover, the image of Sherlock Holmes portrayed by Li Fan is based on his appearance. The illustration of Sherlock Holmes is seventy or eighty percent similar to him.
Then he will be Sherlock Holmes.
Thinking of this, Alves was very excited and proud. He liked to read detective novels and was always proud that he had a detective's brain and was no worse than the protagonists in those detective novels.
In this way, he will be more similar to Li Fan's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
For this reason, Alves found it very novel and interesting. Being a bit of an old naughty guy, he was looking forward to the upcoming visitors!
…
Starting from the afternoon, the number of customers coming to buy "Sherlock Holmes" in major bookstores is slowly and quietly increasing.
A certain bookstore.
"Boss, do you still have Mr. Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes" in your bookstore?" a tall and thin customer asked, his voice seemed a little anxious.
"Yes, it's on the new bookshelf over there." The boss replied.
"Isn't it on the new bookshelf? Boss, are there any in other places? Get me a copy quickly." The tall and thin customer said again, his voice seemed more anxious.
"Is it on the new bookshelf?" The boss looked in the direction of the new bookshelf in confusion. He was surprised to find that the place where "Sherlock Holmes" was originally placed was now empty. It really was gone.
It seems that more than a dozen books on the bookshelf have been sold out. The boss is quite happy. It seems that some people will buy them.
Then, the boss asked a worker to go to the warehouse quickly, take out "Sherlock Holmes" and put it on the new bookshelf, and give a copy to the tall and thin customer.
However, the staff replied that all 500 copies of "Sherlock Holmes" arriving in the store today have been sold out.
"Already sold out?" The boss was stunned at first, and then felt happy again.
He originally thought that it would take a long time to sell out all 500 copies, but he never thought that they would be sold out in less than a day.
Later, the boss was about to say sorry to the tall and thin customer just now.
But after hearing the tall and thin customer say "damn it", he turned around and walked out of the store and hurried away.
At this time, the boss felt that something was wrong.
The "Sherlock Holmes" that was originally thought to be on sale for a long time has now been sold out, and the customer just now was anxious to buy "Sherlock Holmes".
Could it be that that book is very popular?
Just as the boss finished his thoughts, another glasses customer hurriedly walked into the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked eagerly: "Boss, do you have Mr. Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes" here?"
Another customer came and asked about the book, and the boss confirmed his idea just now.
It's just that the books have been sold out, and the boss can't help but regret that he didn't make more today. Now he can't make any money, which is really depressing.
"Sorry, everything is sold out." The boss apologized and said to the glasses customer who just came in.
Upon hearing this, the glasses customer said "Damn" in great disappointment, then turned around and walked out the door, also hurried away.
The two customers just now completely opened the door for customers to come and ask if they have "Sherlock Holmes".
After that, customers came one after another to ask if there was any "Sherlock Holmes"?
After being told that everything was sold out, everyone turned around and left in a hurry with great disappointment.
Another customer came in and asked, and the boss couldn't help but asked: "My friend, may I ask, is "Sherlock Holmes" very popular now?"
The customer replied: "Of course, I don't know when it started. There are more and more voices about Mr. Holmes on the Internet. They all say that if you don't know Mr. Holmes, it will be a great loss and regret." That's why I'm so eager to buy it. Okay, boss, I have to go to the next bookstore."
After saying that, the customer also left in a hurry. He had to continue rushing to the next bookstore. If
^0^ Remember in one second【】
I can't buy "Sherlock Holmes" today, so I guess it will be difficult for him to fall asleep at night.
"It would be a great loss and regret not to know Mr. Holmes?" The boss was surprised and hurriedly came to the Internet to find out.
Perhaps, he should get more "Sherlock Holmes" books.
…
On the Internet, just as the customer just said, there are more and more voices about Sherlock Holmes.
Those who originally opened "The Sherlock Holmes" with the intention of giving it a trial read soon became deeply attracted by Sherlock Holmes's personal charm and could not extricate themselves after reading it.
Especially after watching the second part of "The Sign of Four".
If "A Study in Scarlet" is the first time Sherlock Holmes showed his talents, then "The Sign of Four" will completely reveal Sherlock Holmes' personal charm.
In the previous life, "Four Signatures" was a huge success once it was launched.
It was the beginning of Sherlock Holmes becoming a household name.
Its influence is long-lasting and far-reaching, and it is loved by readers at all levels.
Based on the appearances and details in life, Pin uses imagination and experience to draw terrifying and amazing inferences with meticulous and impeccable logical reasoning.
In this work, author Conan Doyle brought the great power of human observation and logical reasoning abilities to the extreme.
"The Sign of Four" mainly tells that on July 7, 1887, a young lady named Mary Morstan went to 221b Baker Street to visit Sherlock Holmes, hoping to seek help from Holmes.
Mary told Holmes that her mother had died when she was still very young, and her father was an officer of the Lan Army stationed abroad.
She hasn't seen her father in many years.
Later, her father asked for leave and returned to Lanzhou. On December 3, 1878, Mary received a telegram from her father, saying that he had arrived at a hotel in Longtown and asked Mary to go over and see him.
However, when Mary rushed to the hotel that day to reunite her father and daughter, she was told by the hotel clerk that her father had left the day before her arrival and never returned.
After that, Mary tried her best to find her father.
Moreover, from that day until now, Mary has not received any news about his father.
Major Sholto was a retired comrade from the same regiment as Mary's father. When Mary's father disappeared, Sholto lived in Longton City.
On April 28, 1882, four years after Mary's father disappeared, Sholto died.
After Sholto's death, that is, starting from May 4, 1882, Mary would receive a valuable pearl on the same date every year.
On July 7, 1887, which is today, Mary received an anonymous letter. The person who wrote the letter invited Mary to meet at a theater that evening.
And this is why Mary came to visit Holmes today for help. She wanted to ask Holmes and Watson to accompany her.
Because this letter may be related to the expensive jewelry she receives every year.
Holmes and Watson agreed to Mary's request.
That night, after going through some twists and turns, Mary, Holmes, and Watson met the anonymous letter writer.
The anonymous letter writer is Thaddeus, the son of Sholto, who died four years ago.
It turned out that when Sholto returned to Langdun City, he brought back a large amount of treasure, and Sholto lived a prosperous life with this treasure.
Among this batch of treasures, some should belong to Morstan, Mary's father.
Four years ago, Mary's father returned to Langton City and stayed at a hotel. After notifying Mary to come to the hotel to meet him, he went to Sholto's home to get back his share of the treasure.
However, Mary's father and Sholto had a dispute over the distribution of the treasure and had a fierce quarrel. During the quarrel, Mary's father suddenly died of a heart attack.
For some special reasons, Sholto concealed the news of Mary's father's death.
It was not until his death four years ago that Sholto told his two sons the truth, saying that he had a treasure, one of which should belong to Mary's father.
Let his two sons find Mary and 'hand over' her share of the treasure that should belong to her father.
However, his two sons, Thaddeus and Bartholomew, did not find the treasure, only a string of pearl necklaces, which Sholto said before he died that he was going to give it to Mary.
In this way, Thaddeus took off the pearl and prepared to send a pearl to Mary every year.
This is why Mary receives a pearl on the same day every year.
However, just one day ago, Bartholomew finally discovered the treasures that his father Sholto had mentioned.
Thaddeus said he hoped to give Mary part of the treasure to make up for the mistakes his father had made.
Besides, that was what Mary deserved.
Bartholomew was a little reluctant, but finally reluctantly agreed.
However, when Holmes, Watson, Mary and Thaddeus arrived at Bartholomew's residence, they found that Bartholomew had been stabbed and murdered, and the treasure had disappeared.
Then, after a series of tedious and complicated reasoning,
^0^ Remember in one second【】
and tracking, Holmes finally caught up and captured Simao, the murderer who poisoned Bartholomew and robbed the treasure.
Then, Simao revealed the amazing secret about that batch of treasures.
Simao was once a soldier of the Lan Kingdom stationed abroad. Due to a series of reasons, he and three other soldiers killed a servant of the Tuwang and robbed the treasure he brought.
Simao and the three soldiers hid the looted treasure in a certain place, and were then arrested and imprisoned for murder.
At the prison where the four were imprisoned, Sholto and Mary's father, who was an officer stationed at the prison at the time.
Simao reached an agreement with the two. If the two could help the four of them escape, the four of them were willing to share the treasure equally with the two.
In order to make the two of them believe his words, Simao also told the two of them the address of the hidden treasure.
After discussing with Mary's father, Sholto decided that Sholto would go to the treasure location mentioned by Simao to check to see if there really was treasure?
However, after Sholto went there, he never went back. Instead, he took away the treasure alone, returned to Langdun City, and lived a prosperous life.
At this point, all the truth is revealed.
Why did Sholto bring back a large amount of treasure when he returned to Langdun City?
Questions such as why Mary's father went to Sholto to share the treasure have already been answered.
After Simao managed to get out of prison, he poisoned Sholto's son Bartholomew and stole the treasure.
It was obviously for revenge and to get back the treasure that should have belonged to him and three other people.
…
As soon as the story of "The Sign of Four" came out, many detective fans became Sherlock Holmes fans.
The charm of Sherlock Holmes continues to spread on the Internet.
On the Internet, there are more and more opinions about how it would be a great pity for a detective novel lover not to know Sherlock Holmes.
Those who originally planned not to watch "Sherlock Holmes" can no longer sit still.
They all went to the bookstore to buy a copy of "Sherlock Holmes".
However, they discovered at this time that "The Sherlock Holmes" was no longer available, and many bookstores had sold out of stock.
They had to go from bookstore to bookstore, hoping to buy a copy, which was the phenomenon before.
…
As night falls, the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" are increasing at an extremely fast rate.
Twenty thousand volumes, fifty thousand volumes, one hundred thousand volumes, two hundred thousand volumes...
Coxford Press.
It was already time to get off work, but Eduardo was in no hurry to leave. He was waiting for good news.
He knew it would come soon.
Sure enough, the assistant hurriedly knocked into his office and said excitedly: "Mr. Evado, according to incomplete statistics, the sales volume of Mr. Li Fan's "Sherlock Holmes" has exceeded 200,000 copies so far. Moreover, it is still increasing at an extremely fast rate.”
