Features: Piece by piece, mysterious cases shrouded in fog, a famous detective living in the fog city, woven into detective stories that have been passed down through the ages and are widely loved; the British detective Sherlock Holmes has, after a century of popularity, become the symbol of detectives, even those who haven’t read detective novels know the character of Sherlock Holmes! In the orthodox literary history, detective novels had no place, yet more and more people have been drawn to writing in this genre, and some Western literary critics have also given new evaluations to Conan Doyle’s detective novels. Sherlock Holmes has stood the test of time for a hundred years—it’s no coincidence. Its literary and artistic value continues to shine in people’s hearts, and it is also enough to leave a glorious page in the history of Western literature. The Hound of the Baskervilles: On a stormy night, in a gloomy and desolate empty house, a stiff corpse with a grinning mouth and a fierce expression lay on the ground. The two blood-written words “Revenge” were written on the wall beside him. Who had this deep-seated enmity with the victim? Sherlock Holmes engages in a wits game with the murderer. The Sign of Four: The disappearance of the captain, the death of the major, and the tragic lives of the four signatories on the treasure map all stem from—Arabian treasure. What is the reason for this? Sherlock Holmes must solve this mystery. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Part 1): A photograph becomes a bomb threatening the king’s wedding; the groom suddenly disappears in front of the church; a dried-out nut becomes a sign of impending death; a goosecrop collected halfway becomes a priceless gem—sapphire. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Part 2): The emerald on the crown suddenly vanishes. Was it the thief caught on the spot, or someone else who hired a woman teacher at a high price? Behind a series of unbelievable events hides an unscrupulous deal. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes: On a dark night, a horse was missing, and the groom was thrown into the basement. The mysterious disappearance of the butler’s corpse lay on the ground. On a steep cliff, Sherlock Holmes engaged in a deadly battle with the criminal and sought mutual destruction. The Legend of the Hound: At midnight, Sir Charles suddenly died in the marsh outside the estate. Near the body were many horrifying paw prints of bloodhounds. Was his death really due to the family’s ancient legend of the bloodhound? The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The captain was impaled on the wall with a harpoon. This brutal murderer had an unbreakable enmity with the victim, or was there another reason? Another Napoleon statue was shattered. Was the perpetrator in revenge for Napoleon, or was there a secret hidden in the Napoleon statue? The Valley of Fear (Part 1): A ruthless and brutal criminal gang known as the “Vampire Club” was arrested en masse. However, the police officer who had infiltrated the enemy and done undercover work was relentlessly hunted down by demons. The Valley of Fear (Part 2): The police killed the demon but was questioned by the court. Fleeing to Africa to avoid pursuit, he was swept into the sea by storms. Sherlock Holmes suspected the “Vampire Club” was responsible, but someone else was willing to risk their life to fight the demon of the “Vampire Club.” The Final Problem: Two disgusting human ears were sent by post. The tenant had behavior that was beyond belief. Overnight, the whole family was either dead or insane. Behind each seemingly unexplainable mystery lay infinite evil. The Case of the Singular Man: Blood flowed from the pale neck of an infant, and the woman standing beside him had a grinning mouth, blood streaming from her lips. Was she really the vampire of legend? At midnight, a respected and highly esteemed old man bent down like an animal, crawled from the room to the wall, and grabbed the ivy, climbing up the wall with agility. Arthur Conan Doyle’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is a tall, lean figure with a hooked nose, wearing a deerstalker hat, a trench coat, and a pipe in his mouth. He is calm and rational, witty and brave, erudite, meticulous and patient, pursuing truth, and upholding principles. His mysterious appearance, cluttered desk, unique clothing, ever-changing disguises, clever mind, persistent attitude, and chivalric spirit that helps the weak but respects the law make him the embodiment of justice, a hero in the hearts of people across different eras and countries. The stories’ logical reasoning are engaging, with dynamic structures, vivid characters, vivid plots, and reflections of the realities of British society at the time.
