Chapter 303: The Last Case, Book Fan Riot (Part 2)

Sherlock Holmes fans are definitely familiar with the "last case". Although they have never experienced that era and have not personally experienced that thrilling moment, the influence of this incident is still widely circulated in the form of allusions and anecdotes, and it also indirectly proves the greatness of Sherlock Holmes.

In 1893, Conan Doyle, the father of "Solmes", suddenly began to hate this endless story serialization. He felt that it had occupied too much time, so he decided to think of a way to end the novel. So he arranged a final battle between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty in "The Last Case", and both of them fell into the river.

Professor Moriarty, as Sherlock Holmes' main opponent, has an IQ that is not inferior to the protagonist. She is called "Napoleon of the crime world" by Sherlock Holmes and created a crime kingdom in London.

After the release of "The Last Case", the world was shocked and triggered the most intense readers' backlash in history. Even the author's mother said that she could not accept this ending.

The magazine that serialized the series of stories encountered large-scale unsubscribed letters of anger, protest and reprimand flew like snowflakes, readers expressed their dissatisfaction in various ways, they threatened death, they went to smash the author's glass, and young people at work even surrounded the brim of their hats to express their condolences.

To many book fans, Holmes was a real British citizen, and the last case was a ruthless murder, who scolded Conan as a beast.

In fact, this is not the first time Conan Doyle has a murderous idea. He had mentioned this evil idea in his letter to his mother before. However, as a hardcore fan of Sherlock Holmes, the old lady rejected the proposal very harshly and replied loudly: "Teat?wont!Teat?cant!Teat?mustnt!", and?he?didnt." (You won't do this! You can't do this! You shouldn't do this! And. Sherlock Holmes won't die!)

Conan Doyle's mother saved Sherlock Holmes's life.

Afterwards, in order to avoid continuing to write this story, Conan deliberately offered a huge price to the magazine for the appointment. As a result, the magazine accepted it happily. At this time, Conan had several jobs in his hand, and he made up his mind to kill Holmes no matter what his mother said.

During this period, he and his wife started a trip to Europe. When they saw the Lessinbach Falls in Switzerland, they had an idea and positioned the place where Sherlock Holmes was buried, which also became a heartbreaking place for countless book fans.

Of course, under the protests and expectations of book fans, Conan Doyle finally resurrected the detective in "Empty House".

...

In literary history, similar incidents emerge one after another. When JK Rowling decided to kill Harry Potter, the mayor of London personally begged her not to do so, because the death of Harry Potter will seriously hurt the hearts of countless children around the world, including his daughter.

Therefore, Yang Lilu only had that abnormal reaction after translating "The Last Case".

"You want to write about Sherlock Holmes to death?" Yang Lilu asked afterwards, but her expression still couldn't calm down.

Liu Jingting was not surprised. He smiled and said, "It's always invincible, and everyone will be aesthetically tired."

Yang Lilu said incrediblely: "You. Do you really understand what readers are thinking? Everyone will be dissatisfied with his victory in every battle, but everyone will never accept his death. If you do this, it will cause public outrage."

Liu Jingting smiled and said nothing, Yang Lilu was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not just China, but readers in the world will make trouble."

"I just want to see this scene. I didn't see it with my own eyes back then, and I always feel regretful."

At the earliest, Liu Jingting specially arranged the order of books to promote them, one of the purposes was to witness the situation of those immortal works when they were born.

Yang Lilu did not pursue his disconnection and asked, "So, Holmes is not dead, right? You did not let Watson find his body, which means that he will be resurrected, right?"

Liu Jingting looked at Yang Lilu and asked, "Are you worried about readers' riots or you can't accept it?"

Yang Lilu turned her head slightly angrily, and then confessed: "Okay, I can't accept it myself. Tell me clearly whether he will be resurrected?"

"See everyone's reaction first, after all, this serialization will not be available until three months later."

Yang Lilu was speechless and looked at Liu Jingting, hoping to beat him up. Yes, Yang Lilu was indeed a hardcore Sherlock Holmes fan. Chu Liuxiang was elegant, but passionate, she didn't like it, Lu Xiaofeng was suave, but romantic, she didn't like it, only this British gentleman who knew fighting skills and violin made her sincerely like it.

As for whether there are other reasons, such as Sherlock Holmes's love without real meaning (Watson of course cannot be counted!), I am afraid she herself doesn't know it.

However, looking at Liu Jingting's vaguely proud expression, this matter still seemed to have a turnaround.

Yang Lilu cannot be sure.

...

The first snow in the eight years of the Pavilion crashing down hastily. Gao Shu held a party with the theme of "snow". Liu Jingting received an invitation as usual. He was the only person in Vientiane Academy who rejected Gao Shu's invitation to three parties in succession.

What is puzzling is that on the fourth time, Gao Shu still sent him an invitation letter because in addition to these parties, Liu Jingting rejected meetings, awards ceremony, and various dinners that combined could circle around everything.

In addition, one of the important reasons why Gao Shu’s party is popular is that everyone can find their own partners here. This partner has rich connotations and will benefit the future.

Nowadays, Liu Jingting is at its peak. There are not a thousand or eight hundred people he wants to meet. Some even come to contact him with family missions. After all, Liu Jingting is also an independent director of Xingyue TV.

This time, Liu Jingting did not refuse. One reason was that the semester was about to end, and the other reason was that Gao Shu changed his strategy and sent invitations to all members of 501. This face was still very good.

The "Xueyao Party" scene changed the luxurious layout of the past and played with a retro style. Before the party started, Gao Shu explained frankly: "This time the party invited Liu Jingting, so the layout should be more cultural."

Although Gao Shu was still free and calm, Ye Jue, who knew him, still saw his irrepressible excitement.

"I just shook my hands."

"Nonsense. That's Gu Yongsheng's Liu Jingting."

Except for Lin Xun, who was in the crew of Hongyi Building 9, the rest of the people arrived on time. When everyone saw Liu Jingting, although many people tried their best to be calm, when they thought that it was the daily news, newspapers, and the big celebrities on the Internet, they couldn't help but take a look at it.

Tonight, Liu Jingting did not make the mistake of attending the class reunion with Xu Qing last time. Before he arrived, he checked the clothes with Dai Anqiao and Yang Lilu so that it would not be abrupt.

However, as soon as he appeared, he instantly collected the audience's attention.

Ye Jue and Sun Boya smiled and greeted him. Although the storied figures were in the same school, they had not seen each other for a long time.

Yang Lilu didn't like to watch his greetings with them. When Sun Boya reached out to shake hands with Liu Jingting, Yang Lilu decisively turned around and walked away to find Kang Lingyue.

Ye Jue, Sun Boya and Liu Jingting had a great chat. The party host Gao Shu stood not far away and looked at the picture with satisfaction. There is no doubt that the headlines of the Bagua Building at the end of this semester will be fully contracted by this party.

Gao Shu walked up to the three of them and said, "Mr. Liu, I want to invite you to sing the song "Iron Blood and Danxin" with Vice Chairman Sun later."

Sun Boya looked at him with a smile, and Liu Jingting hurriedly said, "I can't sing Cantonese songs, and, moreover, didn't you hear me sing during the New Year's Eve?"

Ye Jue smiled and said, "To be honest. I think your typhoon is much better than Gong Chengpin. He stood there like a wooden stake."

Gao Shu nodded in agreement.

Sun Boya continued: "We can sing the Mandarin version."

"All girls have taken the initiative, Mr. Liu, please don't postpone it." Gao Shu changed his mind when he saw the wind.

Liu Jingting had expected that he would encounter various situations when he came here, so he spread his hands and agreed, "As long as you are not worried, I will mess up your party."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a clear voice: "Liu Jingting!"

When I turned around, I found Kang Lingyue coming over with great momentum. The classmates around me immediately took out their cell phones and prepared to capture a good show.

When Liu Jingting saw Yang Lilu behind Kang Lingyue, he frowned and asked with his eyes: "Did you tell her about the ending?"

Yang Lilu turned her head proudly and ignored him.

"I'll disturb you for a few minutes and I'll find you if I have something to do."

Ye Jue and others signaled him to do whatever he wanted.

Kang Lingyue and Liu Jingting found a relatively quiet place, and Liu Jingting smiled and said, "The dress is pretty good."

Kang Lingyue glanced at him and said, "It's a pity that I can't see the crotch."

Liu Jingting swept across a place provocatively and quickly. Seeing this, Kang Lingyue quickly lifted the clothes on her chest vigilantly and said angrily: "If you can't see the crotch, just look at it... Other crotchs, you boys really don't have one--"

Liu Jingting interrupted, "No matter how I say it is, it's your boss. We are not acting in idol dramas. Well, do you have something to come to me?"

Kang Lingyue woke up and asked, "I heard Lulu say you wrote Holmes to death?"

"Um."

Kang Lingyue was about to ask, but suddenly heard a nearby scream of "ah".

"who?"

A slightly fat girl walked out from the side with her cell phone covering her mouth, staring at Liu Jingting as if she was frightened by something amazing.

"Are you eavesdropping?" Kang Lingyue glanced at her phone.

The girl didn't answer, "Holmes..."

Kang Lingyue hurriedly said, "What Holmes?"

The girl pointed at the two and said, "You said Sherlock Holmes is dead, you are talking about Sherlock Holmes, I heard it."

"Did you send it to the Eighth Master?" Kang Lingyue asked anxiously.

"Yes, send it to the Eighth Master."

The girl was about to operate the phone, but Kang Lingyue suddenly reached out to grab it. The girl was shocked and turned around and ran away.

Kang Lingyue looked at the girl's back anxiously and turned her head to blame Liu Jingting: "Why don't you help?"

"I snatched her cell phone, she still has a computer and a mouth. I can't kill anyone to silence her, right?"

"What should I do? As soon as the gossip building was released, the whole world knew about it."

"Who believes?"

Liu Jingting said as he walked out. He just returned to the party scene and saw everyone looking at his phone, because the Eighth Master had just released a big news: "Shocking news, according to reliable news, Sherlock Holmes will die in the ending of the series story!"
