Chapter 317 The Sherlock Holmes Series Is Officially Finished!!

As different as ever!

When thousands of readers from Kyushu read the much-anticipated finale with great interest, they saw the old thief's breakthrough again!

There must be one particularly big difference from the other nine books.

There are some cases in the book that are narrated by Holmes himself!

This change of perspective undoubtedly adds a sense of novelty to the book. Otherwise, it will always be the same rhythm and perspective, and readers will get used to it no matter how much they like it.

The cases in "New Detective" are still so strange.

For example, in "The Problem of Thunder Bridge", the deceased was the wife of the Golden King, who was shot to death. The Golden King wrote to Holmes asking for help. As a result, after Holmes' investigation, the method and motive of the case were found out.

It turned out that the deceased committed suicide and wanted to use his death to blame his love rival.

There is also "The Noble Patron". Holmes is hired to prevent a marriage. The man is a murderer with a bad record. Many women have died of torture or murder before, but the baron has a high status, and Holmes's task is to prevent this. A marriage.

The identity of the employer remains mysterious from beginning to end.

…

Many of these stories can find their prototypes in daily life.

The world of Sherlock Holmes and the detective stories of Sherlock Holmes not only involve those earth-shattering cases or murders, but also describe many such daily life stories, which makes the character of Sherlock Holmes more lifelike in the entire work. !

This is the reason why so many ordinary people in previous lives believed that Sherlock Holmes really existed or had a prototype.

Just imagine, if the story of Sherlock Holmes, like Conan's journey and death, was not commissioned, would it still have such a sense of reality?

The influence of a work can be so great. The plot of the novel is only part of it. The more reason is the characterization and charm of the characters.

Unknowingly, many Sherlock Holmes fans are turning page after page, but the reluctance in their hearts is getting more and more turbulent.

This masterpiece will finally come to an end today.

…

Different from previous novels, the final climax is ushered in at the final finale, giving the characters a perfect ending.

The final step in the Sherlock Holmes series, "New Detectives," is not like this. Instead, it compiles Sherlock Holmes' previous detective stories. The entire Sherlock Holmes series is not written according to a timeline.

Strictly speaking, the last case that Holmes handled was "The Last Regards". At that time, Holmes went to Sykes to study beekeeping and enjoy the pastoral life after retirement. At the invitation of the Prime Minister, he returned to the world and spent two years. Long.

Investigations were carried out in various places in Mizhou and Xizhou, and the spy group was finally annihilated in one fell swoop!

After the case was over, Holmes once again retired and has no more cases since.

The story of this "New Detective" is before retirement.

…

"It's so exquisite..."

"This kind of design can only be written by an old thief."

After seeing the ending of "New Detective", Li Liyue, Xiao Xiangshota and others were completely conquered.

The reason is that the entire structure of Sherlock Holmes is not one case after another like a running account, but the order of the cases is disrupted, and then recorded using memoirs and different perspectives.

This structure, just like the storyline of Sherlock Holmes, makes the story more realistic!

Including the last case recorded, there is no stimulation or prolongation of the readers' emotions. You must know that this is what the old thief has always been best at, but this time he has completely abandoned it.

You must know that at the end of many novels, a "sense of epic completion" will be created. This is a popular saying.

Professionally speaking, the three elements are rationality, trust, and semi-closedness. This is the principle that Li Liyue has followed since its inception.

For example, leaving a long tail effect, except for the secondary plot, the main plot must not end abruptly.

Through the long tail effect, the ending can continue in the imagination of readers.

For example, the finale of "Zhu Xian", the look between Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi, and the open feeling at the end of "Harry Potter".

For example, in a previous life, Jürgen Wolf wrote in "Creative Writing Master Class", "In the endings of many novels and screenplays, a common mistake writers make is to rely on coincidence or the power of appearing out of thin air to solve the problem. "

This rationality is also the key to the ending.

But the ending of the "Sherlock Holmes" series by the old thief was completely abandoned. When the last page was turned, the readers no longer felt like they were reading a novel, but as if they were reading the diaries or memoirs left by Holmes and Watson. .

"it's over?"

"Is this the end?"

…

After readers closed the last page, this thought popped into their minds.

But this thought is not one of loss or disappointment, but an unspeakable feeling, as if the story of "Sherlock Holmes" should end like this.

"This is the life of Sherlock Holmes. When he was young, the Spotted Belt Case, the Uncanny Valley Case, the Bohemian Scandal... When he got old, the retired paint dealer case, the Abbey School case, the Last Salute case..."

Many readers closed their eyes.

Holmes' life, through the story fragments of the novel, gradually pieced together, gathered into Holmes' magnificent, yet real life that makes people have to imagine and believe!

…

The release of the finale of "Holmes" has caused a huge sensation in Kyushu without any surprise, even more than the "Harry Potter" series.

While the huge group of Sherlock fans in England were discussing fiercely on the Internet, more people rushed to 221 Baker Street, holding up various signs and drawing various graffiti!

However, the content on the sign this time was not the previous "Stop Murdering Holmes" and so on.

Instead, it was various praises, similar to "Holmes is the greatest work of the 21st century" and so on.

Under such a terrifying craze, such remarks will naturally not receive too many rebuttals. Even if the author has an opinion on this, he will not jump out at this time, otherwise it is no different from riding the heat.

Although being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser, there are many top Kyushu authors who do not think that Holmes is the greatest work of the 21st century.

In their opinion, both Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter are just bestsellers, and they are still at least one level away from being the greatest works of the 21st century.

But now, there is no doubt that it is a carnival for all Sherlock Holmes fans!

On Book software, after the Sherlock Holmes series was confirmed to be completed, it was integrated into a series collection. For a time, the score of the Sherlock Holmes series even reached 10 points!

Of course, this is a short-term situation. After all, those who can score at the first time are almost all hardcore fans.

[(10 points) Nothing to say! The old thief is awesome! Sherlock Holmes is awesome! ]

…

The ending of Sherlock Holmes has become a top priority in the Kyushu novel world.

The sales in various parts of Kyushu are surging wildly, and the total sales are constantly breaking the sales record of "Harry Potter"!

Those bright numbers are dazzling to the eyes of people. The sales of each single volume have exceeded 100 million copies, and are still rising.

It can be said that Lao Zei's popularity in the Kyushu novel world has reached a new level.

It means that there are a large number of loyal fans of Lao Zei in various parts of Kyushu, looking forward to the next work of Lao Zei!

The identity of Lao Zei is mysterious, and the type of works he creates is also mysterious. No one can guess what type of work Lao Zei will bring in the next work.

There is just one small detail that has made some people guess.

That is, the original work of "Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que" was written by Lao Zei, which means that Lao Zei had created martial arts novels at least last year.

"Could it be..."

"The new novel is a martial arts novel?"

Some smart readers guessed so, but it is not easy to write a series of martial arts novels.

Of course, these are still speculations. If you want to continue to follow Lao Zei's works, the anime "Digimon" will be released in a month, and many of Lao Zei's book fans will definitely rush in!

To a certain extent, the success of "Sherlock Holmes" has driven the development and popularity of many works in the Xiazhou entertainment industry!
