I ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a young man he seemed destined for a career in medicine. In 1876 he attended the University of Edinburgh Medical School. There he met Jos eph Bell, whose deductive powers and dramatic flair he would later embody in the character of Sherlock Holmes. In the early 188s he served as a medical officer on an Arctic whaling ship and ship's surgeon on a voyage to West Africa. By the summer of 1882, he had settled in the town of Southsea in the south of England. In 1885 he received his medical degree. Even after he was a well-established writer, He continued to pursue his medical education, becoming an eye specialist. His medical practice was unsuccessful, leaving him plentifully of free time to write.
He has sufficient practical knowledge about English law. Resume: Holmes was born in 1854. His grandfather was a squire for generations (Greek Translator), and he grew up in an unknown environment. However, judging from his seven-year-old brother's work (Greek Translator) (Clerk of Securities Brokers), it shows that his family was in decline (gentlemen didn't work at that time). There is a man named Werner? Verne's distant relative as a doctor (Architect of Norwood). Brothers are probably all raised by nanny Nanny.
※ In 1861 (at the age of 7), he entered an aristocratic school (boarding system) or invited a tutor to receive education. Grandmother was a painter in Napoleonic France, Horace? Verne's sister. Holmes thinks that he has inherited such a lineage (this artistic element in blood can easily have the strangest genetic form "Greek Interpreter"). Holmes' family formed a good musical atmosphere, and he began to learn to play the violin in his youth.
※ In 1867 (at the age of 13), although the children of aristocrats at that time generally entered public schools (aristocratic and upper-class children, active sports schools), Holmes was not interested in rugby, a permanent sport in this school, so he did not enter this school. Instead, I asked the tutor to continue to impart knowledge (The Missing Bride)
※ In 1872 (at the age of 18), it is said that Holmes studied at the famous Oxford or Cambridge University. At that time, he didn't like group sports activities, but liked fencing and boxing, majoring in chemistry (Gloria? The mystery of the Scott). It seems to agree with the view that "literary knowledge is equal to zero", and it has also been ridiculed by Watson.
※ In 1873 (at the age of 19), in the last semester of the first grade, he was arrested by Victor? Trevor's dog bit them, and they became familiar with each other. Then one summer, Holmes was invited to Wiktor. Trevor's family was a guest, and under the reminder of Trevor's father, he realized that he had the conditions to be a detective (Holmes' reasoning and observation ability was already very strong at that time). In the same year, the "Gloria? The mystery of the Scott case. During the summer vacation, he spent most of his time indulging in chemistry time (Gloria? The mystery of the Scott).
※ In 1874 (at the age of 2), Yuezi was in the last stage of college, and his reasoning method (The Musgrave Rites) was widely rumored by his classmates.
※ He graduated from college in 1875 (at the age of 21).
※ In 1877 (at the age of 23), he began to work as a detective near the British Museum, with very few work breaks, and actively studied various sciences to lay a foundation for the future. Life is hard.
※ In 1878 (at the age of 24), the case of lame Ricote and his hateful wife was solved
※ In 1879 (at the age of 25), his classmate Reginald? Entrusted by musgrave, it was solved (The Musgrave Ritual).
※ In 1881 (at the age of 27), at St. Barromi Hospital, Holmes met Watson, a retired military doctor, through the introduction of his friend Stanford, and shared a room B at 221 Baker Street. And introduce Lestrade and Grayson to Watson. In the same year, the case of "Research on Blood Characters" was solved.
In 1882 (at the age of 28), Watson began to record the case "Five Orange Nuclei". Holmes became famous, and comforted Helen with "work itself is reward"? Stoner.
※ In April 1883 (at the age of 29), the Spotted Tape Case was solved.
※ In 1887 (at the age of 33), he became famous in Europe for solving the case of Dutch-Sumatra Company and the huge plan of Baron Mobutuiz. He also fell ill because of fatigue and went to Reigate, Surrey to recuperate ("The Mystery of Reigate"). In April of the same year, the mystery of Reigate was solved.
In January 1888 (at the age of 34), the case of uncanny valley was solved. In July of the same year, the case of "Four Signatures" was solved. Holmes has published several articles, such as Discrimination of Various Tobacco, Exploration of Footprints, and Influence of Professional Opponents. The case of Greek Interpreter was solved, and the published article was well received. In October of the same year, Holmes began to take cocaine, which greatly worried Watson.
※ In 1889 (at the age of 35), Watson left Baker Street after marrying Miss Morstan in the case of Four Signatures, but he still often worked with Holmes. In March of the same year, he solved the Bohemian Scandal case, and because of Irene in the case? Ejdero changed Holmes' view of looking down on women. And for the first time, he called Watson the author of "My Biography" ("Bohemia Scandal"). In June of the same year, the cases of Man with crooked lips, Humpback Man, Clerk of Securities Brokers and Bos Combi Valley were solved. In July of the same year, the case of the Naval Agreement was solved. And it is a case that Holmes solved to safeguard national interests. In September of the same year, the cases of "Engineer's Thumb" and "Five Orange Nuclei" were solved. In October of the same year, the case of The Hound of Baskerville was solved.

In November of the same year, the dying detective happened, and in December of the same year, the case of Blue Garnet was solved. From winter to spring, Holmes works in France. I went to Europe with Watson to track down Professor moriarty.
※ In 1891 (at the age of 37), in The Last Case, Sherlock Holmes and his arch-enemy Professor moriarty fought to the death at the Swiss Reichenbach Falls. Since then, it has been empty
, and Sherlock Holmes' existential inference
The prototype of Sherlock Holmes, according to Doyle's own narrative in The Truth About Sherlock Holmes, is based on his medical school tutor Dr. Bell (that is, Professor Bell, who is usually translated by China). However, even Bell himself doesn't seem to like this statement. Personally, I think Doyle misled the readers at the request of the real prototype.
I think Sherlock probably really exists in London. Of course, the detective's name is not Sherlock Holmes and he doesn't live in Baker Street 221B, but he is probably a friend of Sir Doyle, and he also does similar "consulting detective" work with Sherlock. In other words, I think Sherlock Holmes comes from a real prototype. His personality may not be as distinct as that of Sherlock Holmes, and his deductive method may not work every time, but this talented detective in London exists. Sherlock's most important cases-sign of four, the hound of Baskerville, the study of scarlet letters and most of the cases in the history of adventure may be the case records of this real detective. More than half of the cases in the Return Story and the new investigation are probably fictional by Conan Doyle. Especially in the late stage of the new investigation, Doyle may have fabricated all the cases. There are two possibilities here. One is that the real detective died, or he really retired like Sherlock later. At that time, Conan Doyle signed a contract with the newspaper for serialization, so it was impossible to stop writing halfway, so he had to make it up. And a few seemingly bad stories in the history of adventure and return are probably made up because there were no good cases to write at that time.
There is no direct evidence about this theory. However, in recent years, many American researchers (such as "Notes for an essay on Holmes and Holmes" by Saul Cohen) have linked Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, an American judge whose surname is Sherlock Holmes, with the master. Said he and the master might be cousins or something.
Vintcent? Vincent Starrett also mentioned in his famous Sherlock Holmes study "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" that he once found the author Henry? Henry Watson's medical works. This is not so much the work of Watson's alcoholic brother, as Watson used the pseudonym John when recording the Sherlock Holmes case.
