"In 1998, I obtained a doctorate at the University of England, and then went to Knightley to study military medicine. When I finished my studies there, it coincided with the outbreak of the second Afghan war, and I was sent to Afghanistan as an assistant military doctor. The end of the war, yes For many, it was an opportunity for honor and promotion, but for me it was just misfortune and disaster"
At the beginning of "Detective Sherlock", Chen Pingan still chose to start with Watson. But Watson's personal experience and background made adjustments.
The original work is that Watson obtained a doctorate degree at the University of England in 1878.
One can imagine how long that era was.
And the second Afghan war in the original book is probably quite different from the current definition. Because the "Second Afghan War" is generally defined as the anti-terrorism war that started in 2001.
Therefore, Chen Pingan also cleverly transplanted the background of the times to a closer modern age.
In this way, the story will be easier to connect with the readers.
It is also beneficial to subsequent film adaptations.
Xin Ran started her journey of detective Sherlock with the attitude of "you might as well read it". She was surprised when she noticed that the squid spoke in the first person.
"Write detective novels in the first person?" She naturally thought that the "I" in the text was the so-called detective Sherlock.
Doctor of Medicine, military medical background, wounded on the battlefield
What a corny opening.
?Because of being injured, you can't continue to stay on the front line as a military doctor, so you started working as a detective?
Well, a more reasonable guess should start with forensics.
So our protagonist is a forensic doctor? Get in touch with homicide cases through the identity of a forensic doctor, and then go to detective reasoning from a forensic point of view?
She remembered that Wang Dongye's masterpiece "Horror Mask" was unfolded from the perspective of forensic medicine.
After that, there have been many follow-up works.
Now the squid still writes like this? Sure enough She has gradually changed from being a little interested to being indifferent.
Write whatever you want.
Although Xin Ran is very picky about novels, but now Wang Dongye's "Alibi" did not satisfy her very much, so she can only bear with her temper and read on.
Soon she found out that she was wrong.
Watson met at Stanford, and she first learned that "I" was named Watson from Stanford.
Is Sherlock Watson?
That's what she was thinking Stanford had solved the mystery for her.
Stanford: "Then what are you going to do now?"
Watson: "Look for a place to live. The house should be comfortable and not expensive."
Stanford: "You're the second person to say that to me today."
Watson: "Oh, who is the first person?"
Stanford: "He is doing experimental work in a hospital. This morning he was still saying that he had finally found a house he wanted, but he felt that it was a bit expensive to live alone, and he couldn't find anyone to rent with others Speaking of Sherlock Holmes This person, I'm afraid you may not be interested in getting along with him in a short time."
Seeing this, Xin Ran suddenly felt lonely in front of him.
This Watson is not a detective!
And the main character is only mentioned by name after well, thousands of words!
Sherlock Holmes.
So the whole book starts from Watson's perspective? Watson's Memoirs? Xin Ran was a little surprised.
It was the first time she had seen someone choose to write a detective novel from such a perspective.
Taking Watson as the perspective, Watson's psychological activities will be presented richly, but Holmes may not have psychological descriptions.
Because this is the limitation of writing in the first person as a third-party perspective.
If Squid chooses to use Sherlock as the first perspective, then his thoughts and ideas for solving the case can be well presented.
But why did Squid choose to use Watson as the perspective character?
Is it a mistake in the choice of perspective characters?
Or out of other considerations?
If Sherlock cannot perform psychological descriptions, if this book is to be written wonderfully, the author must have extremely high writing skills.
Because psychological description involves the issue of sense of substitution.
Without psychological description, the sense of substitution will be very lacking if only the actions of the characters are used to express and show the characters.
The squid is too bold!
I don't know why Xin Ran suddenly became curious, wondering how Squid will deal with such a choice of perspective characters.
Even insideIn my heart, consciously or unconsciously, I have already sentenced this book to death.
"Sure enough, there is still a huge gap between online writers and published writers." Xin Ran thought in his heart.
She recognized the squid's achievements.
But this time in this detective novel, there are obviously huge problems in the choice of perspective characters.
Read on.
Stanford took Watson to meet Sherlock, and Sherlock saw through Watson's experience at a glance.
"How did he do it?" Xin Ran asked in his heart, and his interest suddenly became more intense.
Sherlock's appearance and language description have fully demonstrated that Sherlock is not a simple detective.
The character creation is in place.
Xin Ran evaluated in his heart.
"Sherlock is quite an interesting character, very detective-like." Xin Ran thought in his heart.
She tried hard to find Sherlock's psychological description in the text.
As he expected.
No!
So even though she had already read the first chapter, she accidentally got to know Sherlock. There seems to be a layer of mystery covering him, and she needs to keep exploring to find the complete answer.
The second chapter, deductive method.
Chen Pingan introduced the concept of "memory palace". Still working on Sherlock's characterization. He will only choose to memorize knowledge that is useful to him, and there is no need to load some useless information into his brain.
He stored his own data in the "memory palace" by category.
He is very knowledgeable but seems to be not so good at some aspects.
There is a list to prove it.
Sherlock's knowledge ability:
Literary knowledge: zero.
Philosophy knowledge: zero.
Astronomical knowledge: zero.
Political knowledge: superficial.
Plant knowledge: not comprehensive.
Geological knowledge: practical and comprehensive.
Chemical knowledge: proficient.
Case knowledge: extremely rich.
? Good at violin, boxing, fencing, proficient in law and justice.
"Freak!" After reading this list, the image of Sherlock in Xin Ran's mind has been completely established.
Then Squid discovered the article written by Sherlock through Watson, and deduced that a courier was a "Retired Sergeant of the Marine Corps" to show Sherlock's extraordinary ability.
Immediately after the characterization was completed, the first case "The Murder on Lauriston Garden Street" followed.
The story is on track
Xin Ran's expectations have been raised to the extreme.
but!
Gone!
It's gone after writing here!
"So much?" Xin Ran felt itchy.
Just had some foreplayand that's it! ! ! !
It wasn't until now that Xin Ran realized the meaning of sending the blade.
Even she didn't realize it, unconsciously, she fell in love with this novel, fell in love with Sherlock Holmes because this is the first mystery novel in which the detective is so handsome.
This is a detective novel.
But I was attracted by Sherlock's beauty Mmm! Attracted by wisdom!
When Xin Ran finished watching "Detective Sherlock", the book review area was already full of comments.
"Squid!! Broken dog!! You actually broke at the time when you were about to investigate."
"Where is my knife!!! It cuts all the dogs in the world."
"Short and weak!"
"Reward and update!"
"Ahhh! The description of Sherlock makes me so handsome. The old man's girlish heart."
"Freaks, violin lovers, memory palaces Squid!! The teacher said, did you refer to your own appearance?"
"It's a very special detective story."
"The interaction between Sherlock and Watson is also interesting. Watson scolded Sherlock for the article, then scolded the author, and then Sherlock: the author is himself Imagine Watson's expression."
"Add more!"
"Quick update!"
"What more, Brother Squid."
Some female readers, in order to make the squid add more, besides rewarding them, they even hesitated to act like a baby in the book review area.
Xin Ran found it more and more interesting.
So I posted a comment in the comments section of Wang Dongye's personal website:
"Wall Crack recommends "Detective Sherlock". This is the most special detective story I have ever read! Be sure to check it out, brothers and sisters!"
