Mr. Holmes is a detective in the novel. He exists in the memories of many "Fu fans" and also exists in my inner thoughts!
I can't go back in time, and I haven't even been to contemporary London - if I had the chance, I would visit Mr. Holmes's house! The descriptions of various environments in the book are meticulous and vivid, showing us such a London: the fog is shrouded all day long, and through the thick fog, you can see the factories, old residential buildings, flowery gardens, etc. .
In the hurried pace of everyone, people of various professions and identities came and went with their own thoughts. Among them, Mr. Holmes has a pair of sharp eyes like those of an eagle, a long hooked nose, a tall and thin body, and a cane in his hand. Or wear a tall hat and a crisp suit; or wear a deerstalker hat and a free and easy sleeveless long windbreaker.
He deals with various complicated clues. With his talent and rich experience and knowledge, he can always grasp the key and use his cane to clear the thick fog. In the swamp of old London, he rescued clients who fell into the water again and again, and sent criminals to prison again and again.
In 1891, he dueled with Professor Moriarty, the most dangerous criminal in London at the time, on the edge of the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, and both disappeared afterwards. Based on the scene, everyone judged that they both fell off the cliff. The case remained unsolved until Holmes miraculously resurfaced in 1894.
It is more appropriate to say that Mr. is a detective than to say that he is a rigorous scientific worker. He spent several years studying detective skills behind closed doors, and he possessed all the professional knowledge that a detective at that time should possess. There is the following record in a statistical table of his friend Dr. Watson:
"Sherlock Holmes's range of knowledge:
"1. Literary knowledge - none.
"2. Knowledge of philosophy - none. 3. Knowledge of astronomy - none.
"4. Knowledge of political science - superficial. 5. Botanical knowledge - not comprehensive, but knowledgeable about acanthus preparations and opium. Has a general knowledge of poisons but no knowledge of practical horticulture.
"6. Address knowledge - more practical, but also limited. But he can distinguish different soil textures at a glance. After returning from a walk, he once wiped the mud spots splashed on his pants Point it out to me, and tell where it was splashed in London based on the color and solidity of the mud spots.
"7. Chemistry knowledge - profound. 8. Anatomical knowledge - accurate, but unsystematic.
"9. Thrilling literature - very broad, he seems to have a thorough knowledge of all the horrific events that have happened in the past century.
"10. He plays the violin very well. 11. Good at using sticks and swords.
"12. He has sufficient practical knowledge about British law."
It can be said that he has been continuously conducting scientific explorations throughout his life, and he also founded Detective Science.
Even as I write this, I can’t help but think of him as a detective in a novel. But the characters and environments in the book are perfectly matched and vivid. That is another place, different from modern London, different from the London of the 19th century in history books, but the foggy London that really exists in the hearts of readers - the hometown of the great detective Mr. Sherlock Holmes!
Listening to Jeremy Brett's version of the theme song of the TV series "Sherlock Holmes", the melodious violin melody seems to compose the character and life of Conan Doyle's protagonist Sherlock Holmes: justice, Wisdom, bravery, and persistence; battle wits with criminals and be friendly to ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Wang once had a famous saying, which the author highly recommends: "Since it is morally justifiable, then all I have to consider is personal risk; if a lady is in urgent need of help, a gentleman should not give too much Consider personal safety.
”
Mr. is always so charming, and he cannot realize how popular he is with the majority of female readers. But you must not absurdly imagine which lady he will fall in love with just based on this. It was absolutely impossible for him - "A grain of sand falling into a delicate instrument, or a crack in the lens of his high-power magnifying glass, would not be more disturbing than the introduction of a strong feeling into a character like his." It works. ”
Even so, Mr. will always be respectable and lovely. His body is as tall as an oak tree, and his warmth is as elegant and precious as an epiphyllum. He will always live in the hearts of Fu fans. In my heart!
