Features: This book selects two long stories, "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of Four." These are largely representative works of Conan Doyle and basically encompass the essence of Sherlock Holmes' detective stories, allowing readers to glimpse the style of the Sherlock Holmes series. Sherlock Holmes is a very successfully created character archetype. The detective experience and methods reflected in him still hold certain reference value today. First, he places great emphasis on investigation and, almost without exception, conducts meticulous on-site inspections for the cases he handles. Second, he treats cases with extreme seriousness and responsibility, often braving difficulties and delving into dangerous situations, sometimes even conducting poison gas experiments on himself. Third, he is skilled in applying psychology and logic. Additionally, Sherlock Holmes pays great attention to collecting information and accumulating knowledge. His broad knowledge and rich life experience earn the readers' admiration.
