Chapter 290 Deductive Method!

"Never guess. Guessing is a bad habit, which is harmful to logical reasoning."

Holmes' words not only shocked Watson, but also aroused the interest of many readers.

From a watch, can you deduce the situation of Watson's family?

Really or not?

...

With this unbelievable attitude, readers instantly entered the atmosphere created by the book, as if they were listening to Holmes' reasoning.

And the following deductive reasoning made all the readers in Kyushu dumbfounded!

For example, when Holmes just started, he said that Watson's brother was not careful on weekdays.

The reason is that this watch not only has two dents on the lower edge, but also countless scars on the entire watch.

This is because Watson's brother usually puts the watch in his pocket with hard objects such as coins and keys in his daily life. This is an inference from observation.

From this inference, we can know that Watson's brother is usually so casual. If it were an ordinary person, he would never put such a valuable thing in his pocket.

This is the first.

The second is that in the local pawnshop, every time a watch is received, a small number will be engraved. From the details of the watch, it can be found that there are at least 4 redemptions and pawnings, which shows that Watson's brother is not smooth sailing and is often embarrassed.

The last point, the third, is that there are many scars on the cover of the keyhole. A sober person can basically insert the key into the keyhole. Only the watch of a drunk will leave these wrist shaking marks.

…

"…"

God knows the expressions of thousands of readers at this moment! !

The extremely wonderful reasoning is at the beginning of the first chapter!

Instantly gave many viewers goosebumps and trembled with excitement!

This is the "Sherlock Holmes" they want to see, this is the mystery novel they want to see!

"Damn! Sherlock Holmes should be like this!"

"Great!"

The readers seemed to be able to feel the fighting spirit of the old thief, as if he was clearing his name to the readers or netizens who questioned him in Kyushu!

"Damn! I suddenly realized the importance of the first part of "A Study in Scarlet"!"

"I also realized that it was because of the first part of "A Study in Scarlet" that the second part of "The Sign of Four" could get straight to the point!"

"That's right, the character creation was completed in the first part, and the second part just needed to be written directly."

"Look!"

The readers were surprised.

In the first chapter of "The Sign of Four", "A Study in Deduction", after Holmes showed off a wave of reasoning, there was a case at the end!

If there was no character creation in the first part, the audience would not be able to enter the story so quickly, and they would not be able to understand Holmes' reasoning!

"Lao Zei wrote this Sherlock Holmes story as a long novel."

"It means that the first part is just a drop in the ocean to pave the way for the future. Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are probably few authors in the world who have the courage of Lao Zei."

"To be honest, I never read novels written from a first-person perspective before. I always felt that it was very strange, but this Sherlock Holmes is different."

"Nonsense, Watson's perspective is the perspective of readers like you and me. How can it be uncomfortable to read it? Lao Zei did not narrate this work from a God's perspective. The sense of substitution is too deep."

...

From the first chapter, Li Liyue felt the pure taste of this mystery work!

Even though they are both novel authors and rivals, Li Liyue is still excited about the grandeur of Sherlock Holmes, especially after more than one Yingzhou author said that A Study in Scarlet was disappointing. Lao Zei's work, to a certain extent, is accompanied by the support of Xiazhou book fans!

And from the second chapter, the story of The Sign of Four really kicked off.

The appearance of a young woman, Mrs. Merry, brought this case.

Speaking of this Mrs. Merry, she is also an important character, because in this work, Watson will be with Merry.

Speaking of Conan Doyle himself, he also knows the role of love stories in novels, even if it is a detective novel, because it can further mobilize the audience's emotions and sense of substitution.

Otherwise, blindly investigating and solving cases will make the whole book very monotonous.

Holmes's character is definitely difficult to insert a love line, so the responsibility of inserting a love line can only be handed over to Watson.

Looking back at the whole case, in fact, this "The Sign of Four" is not a traditional case. The traditional case tells that someone is killed, the detective goes to investigate, and finally solves the case.

This "The Sign of Four" follows the basic pattern of detective novels, but there are still many different details, because there are many strange things about Merry.

One of the strange things is that since six years ago, he has received an expensive pearl on the same date every year.

On the day she came to visit Holmes, she received an anonymous letter and found a treasure map with four signatures in her father's belongings!

The story revolves around this treasure map!

…

"Treasure map!"

As soon as she saw this entry point, Li Liyue's eyes lit up.

It must be said that modern authors, because of the different times they are in, are about to forget this!

When this element appears in the novel, the audience's curiosity will be completely ignited, and they are eager to know the secret of the treasure map. After all, most audiences still want to see the deeds of digging treasure through the treasure map!

In the previous life, the popularity of "One Piece" actually used this element and the curiosity of the audience.

While watching the Straw Hat Pirates and Luffy's growth and adventure, almost all the audience will think about a question, that is, what is the treasure of One Piece, and what is One Piece!

I am afraid that this answer will only be known when One Piece is finished. This is the key suspense point that supports the audience to continue chasing.

In the 19th century, there were many stories about pirates and treasure maps!

Even in Xiazhou, pirates were rampant during the Jiaqing period. This is the mark of the times.

This "The Sign of Four" is advancing along the lines of someone being killed - the treasure being stolen - the investigation of the murderer and the treasure hunt - the truth is revealed. The first case that appeared was that Bartholomew was murdered and the treasure disappeared.

…

The length of "The Sign of Four" is also not long, but the plot is far more exciting than "A Study in Scarlet". There is no long description of the murderer like in the first part, and the author simply focuses on this case that attracts readers.

Within just half an hour.

Readers all over the world were immersed in "The Sign of Four"!
