Chapter 1372： Special writing perspective

Orchid, a certain city.

Li Fan, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, Tang Ying, and the little girl arrived in front of the largest bookstore in the city.

Today is the first day of the release of The Detective Sherlock Holmes. How is the quality of the printing that Li Fan is going to see?

After all, this is the first time he has collaborated with Kesford Press, so you still have to look at it before you can rest assured.

As soon as I walked into the door of the bookstore, in the most conspicuous booth, I saw Tris's "Blood Setting Sun". There were many book fans around the booth.

At the counter, among the queues waiting to check out, there were also several people holding "Blood Setting Sun" in their hands.

Qin Yulin chuckled in Li Fan's ear: "Brother-in-law, it seems that other people's books are much better than yours!"

Li Fan said indifferently: "It's just the beginning. It won't be long before the situation will be reversed."

Qin Yulin naturally believed this, twisted his head and looked around, then said: "Brother-in-law, I have seen your book, let's go and take a look."

After finishing speaking, first walked towards a bookshelf.

Li Fan smiled, and together with Su Qing, Tang Ying, and the little girl, they also walked towards the bookshelf that Qin Yulin pointed to.

The bookshelf is a special book shelf where new books are put on the shelves, and the location is good. Ten brand-new "Sherlock Sherlock" are neatly placed on it.

It's just a pity that there are no book fans to choose books in front of the bookshelves.

For this situation, Li Fan had already expected it, and was not surprised or anxious. He knew that it was only temporary.

Li Fan took a book from the shelf, read the writing, the back and the spine carefully, and then briefly turned the inner pages of the book.

Then he nodded darkly, and there was no problem with the printing quality of the book.

Then I took a look at the illustrations on the cover.

The illustration is a picture of Sherlock Holmes. Sitting on a wicker chair, his face is very thin, with a hooked nose, a square and protruding lower jaw, and a pipe in his left hand. The whole person seems to be in some kind of contemplation.

This illustration was painted by Li Fan himself, and sent to the mailbox of Aihu Duo together with the manuscript. The illustration is based on the old man Alves as the character model, which is seven or eighth similar to the old man.

Of course, it is also in line with the appearance of Holmes in the original work.

After reading it, Li Fan was about to put the book back in the shelf, but suddenly heard a voice that seemed to be a little surprised, "Oh! It's really great. It seems that I am not the only one who is going to buy this from Mr. Li Fan. New work."

Obviously, it was a customer who was going to buy "Detective Sherlock Holmes". He saw the book in Li Fan's hand and regarded Li Fan as a book fan.

Li Fan was happy, and turned his head to look, only to see that the speaker was a young man who was a few years old.

Seeing Li Fan turned to look at him, the young man said a little apologetically: "Oh, sorry sir, I disturbed you."

Li Fan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you didn't bother me, are you here to buy this book?"

With that said, Li Fanyang took the "Detective Sherlock Holmes" in Yang's hand.

The young man nodded and said: "Yes, sir, I am here to buy this new work of Mr. Li Fan. The husband should also be from China? No wonder you want to buy Mr. Li Fan's new book."

Li Fan did not deny the young man’s statement, but asked with interest: “Others don’t seem to be optimistic about this book. There are no other customers besides you and me. This also explains this, why are you? Want to buy this book? Don’t you worry that it’s not good-looking?"

The young man shook his head and said, "No, I am not worried. On the contrary, I still think that Mr. Li Fan’s new book will be very interesting. Many people don’t like this book because they think that Mr. Li Fan spends a few days. The quality of the book they created is certainly not very good. But they seem to forget that before, everyone generally believed that Mr. Li Fan’s "Scarbro Fair" was just an ordinary good song, but the result? , I think the reason why Mr. Li Fan decided to create a new book in just a few days is because he only needs a few days to create the most perfect book, just as he only needed two hours before. "Scarbro Bazaar" is average."

After listening to Li Fan, he agreed with the young man's words and smiled: "I think your idea is correct, and this book shouldn't disappoint you."

The young man nodded and said, "Of course, I am very sure of this."

After speaking, the young man took out a copy of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" from the shelf, said goodbye to Li Fan, took the book and went to the counter to settle the bill.

After the young man left, Li Fan and several others left the bookstore.

Li Fan entered the store mainly because he wanted to go and check the printing quality of the book. After the confirmation, he naturally left.

As for the sales situation, Li Fan hasn't been worried about it. Don't look at the current sales, but it won't take too long before they will be bought by book fans.

After leaving the bookstore, Li Fan and the others continued to play. They have already signed up today. In two days, they will have to go back to China.

...

Although the sales of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" are not very good at present, it is not unpopular. There are always some detective fans who choose to buy for various reasons, just like Li Fan met in a bookstore before That lad is average.

After they got the book, they first looked at the illustrations of the characters on the cover carefully, only feeling an inexplicable throbbing in their hearts.

Then I opened the cover, and it was the first story "Study of Blood Characters".

"Could it be that this is still a series of stories?" Such questions flashed in their minds, and then they began to look right.

"In 1878, after I received a doctorate in medicine at Longtown University, I went to Netley to take a compulsory course in military medicine.

After I finished my course there, I was immediately sent to the Northumberland Fifth Open Musket Regiment as a military medical assistant.

..."

The background of the story took place in 1878. It is not surprising for fans of this story. Many detective novels will choose the last century as the background.

However, this work seems to be written in the first person with "I" as the protagonist, which makes book fans frown. They still prefer to watch works in the third person.

Of course, even though they frowned, they didn't give up because of this. Instead, they chose to continue to look down.

Looking at it, they couldn't help their eyes light up. They found that the writing angle of this work seemed a bit special. The "I" named Watson didn't seem to be the protagonist. The protagonist seemed to be someone else.

"Interesting." The book fans tweeted. They read many novels. This is the first time they have seen such a writing angle.

The beginning of the story is that after finishing the course of military medicine, Watson worked as a military doctor in an army in Lan Guo. He was injured in a war and contracted typhoid fever, and his body became very weak.

Soon after, Watson returned to Lan Guo to recuperate. His financial situation was a bit bad, so he decided to find a less luxurious residence.

One day, he ran into his former assistant, Stanford Jr., in front of a bar called Clementian.

Watson told Little Stanford that he planned to find a less expensive but more comfortable place.

Little Stanford said that another guy told him that he wanted to find a less expensive and more comfortable place to stay.

That guy was called Holmes, and in the mouth of little Stanford, Holmes was a weird guy.

"Holmes?" A crowd of book fans nodded, and it was obvious that Holmes was the protagonist.
