As the last article in the short list of new works to be read, it is also the one with the most eye-catching title.
On the day "The Final Case" was published in the magazine, before the time came, some readers already started urging the magazine website to put a link to the electronic version on the Internet as soon as possible.
The more impatient readers even went directly to the offline sales office to buy this issue of the magazine, just to have a quick look.
Such hot sales are obviously unfamiliar to the magazine.
After all, many years have passed since the golden age of paper magazines, but with the blessing of Omega, everyone seems to have returned to the past era of excellent sales.
In short, a magazine that was supposed to be a relatively niche magazine suddenly became a lot more popular.
In New York, the city where Jiang Yuan held the last stop of his Chapter World Tour.
Many fans also snapped up the magazine that published "The Last Case" before starting to watch the concert.
On the one hand, it is obviously because the cover of this magazine uses a silhouette picture taken by Jiang Yuan himself as the cover. On the other hand, some fans have indeed become fans of the book "Sherlock Holmes".
After all, in this story, Holmes does show extraordinary character charm.
In conjunction with the publication of "The Final Case", the magazine also printed a text introduction about Sherlock Holmes on the color picture on the cover.
"Chemistry, proficiency; philosophy, ignorance; violin, virtuosity; practical knowledge of English law; anatomy, accurate but not systematic; expert in stick, combat, and swordplay—Sherlock Holmes!"
A series of characters make everyone feel excited when they see the magazine cover.
The cafe that has cooperated with Jiang Yuan's concert is already full of fans, exchanging their own peripherals, or gathering around a table to take photos of the new issue of magazines or other materials.
There are also quieter fans who have begun to look through magazines and read the story of "The Final Case".
Qiao Lu is one of those fans, from buying magazines to sitting down in coffee shops.
With almost no time to pause, I couldn't wait to turn to the beginning of the story.
When Jiang Yuan appeared at the Golden Dagger Award Ceremony and announced that he was Omega, countless fans fell into ecstasy, and Qiao Lu was also part of the ecstasy.
When I came to study abroad alone, Jiang Yuan's tracks were often played in my headphones, and the frequency of new releases was very high, which successfully satisfied the sense of freshness.
As for Omega's reasoning works, I fell in love with them after accepting Jiang Yuan's Amway.
Unlike other types of works, which have relatively high reading costs, detective novels are like the text version of a wonderful movie, which is a good way to kill time.
In recent times, due to Jiang Yuan's popularity, Qiao Lu has also made many fellow students on campus, successfully expanding i's social circle.
When she saw the title of the story "The Last Case", Qiao Lu, like other readers, subconsciously thought that just like the title, it would be Sherlock Holmes's last case.
However, after objective analysis, everyone generally believed that it should be impossible to release such important content in the trial reading section, and they overturned simple conjectures one after another.
With her thoughts racing, Qiao Lu's eyes rested on the opening text of the story.
Looking at it like this, his eyes couldn't help but stop.
[Now that I pick up the pen and write the last story, I feel very uncomfortable...]
As we all know, the story of "Sherlock Holmes" is described from Watson's perspective.
So when the writer of the story wrote such a sentence, there was a high possibility that it would be the last case.
This was slightly different from what everyone had guessed, and Qiao Lu was a little surprised.
Mainly because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story so soon.
Before anyone had time to finish reading the entire story, this opening chapter had already begun to circulate on the Internet, and it was the first related topic that broke out that day.
Although the final part has not been officially published yet, everyone felt that they were caught off guard and said farewell in advance.
[Although I don’t know why, I feel that releasing "The Final Case" at this time should be intentional. I don’t care, let’s go study first! 】
The immediate reaction of most readers is that although they don't know why, there must be a reason for the publishing arrangement to be announced by the publisher.
With the same thought, Qiao Lu concentrated again and began to immerse herself in the words.
The story involves the biggest villain in the series, Moriarty.
In recent years, various cases have occurred in London, and Holmes is vaguely aware that there is a hidden force behind them that is protecting these criminals.
After Holmes investigated through various means, the most popular one was Moriarty, a celebrity in the world of mathematics and a retired professor.
In Watson's clinic, Holmes recounted the results of his investigation and recounted the scene of his encounter with Moriarty.
As the main villain in the story, Moriarty is also an extraordinary figure, with an intelligence comparable to that of Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes even described the other person's voice very softly, but every word was more weighty than threatening.
The very opening moments of the story create a sense of a close match and a peak showdown.
Such a part of the content aroused Qiao Lu's emotions very well, as if she had watched a particularly exciting movie trailer, and felt that it was very consistent with the tone of a story of the scale of "The Last Case".
However, when such a well-matched opponent met Holmes, he dropped his threatening words and said that he would see Holmes' death. The tension of the duel was immediately heightened.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even before meeting Watson, Holmes had been attacked several times by Moriarty, but fortunately he narrowly escaped in the end.
After meeting with Watson, Holmes said that he had made careful plans and arrangements and was sure that the arrest would be carried out smoothly.
But it still takes a few days, so I want to invite Watson to travel to Europe together, just to avoid the limelight.
Faced with Holmes' invitation, Watson agreed.
After getting married, Watson and Holmes did not meet as closely as before. Combined with the fact that this was the last case at the beginning of the story, Qiao Lu couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant to leave.
Because they may be attacked by Moriarty at any time, Watson and Holmes were extremely cautious when setting off.
Following Holmes' instructions, he hired a carriage and arrived at the second carriage of the designated train at Victoria Station, but Holmes was nowhere to be seen.
There was less than seven minutes left before the train departed, and Holmes never showed up.
On the contrary, an Italian priest took the seat opposite Watson. No matter how Watson explained that the seat was already occupied, the other party remained unmoved.
It wasn't until the train started that the Italian priest took off his disguise and turned out to be Sherlock Holmes in disguise.
Similarly, it is also the moment when the train starts and leaves the station.
Outside the train window, a tall figure appeared. Moriarty appeared on the platform and witnessed the train leaving.
After the train started, Holmes informed Watson that the house on Baker Street where he previously lived had been set on fire.
This made Watson feel particularly angry. He felt that Moriarty must have been conducting surveillance, otherwise he would not have been able to catch up to the station just now.
Moriarty's close tracking also made Qiao Lu feel a certain sense of urgency during the reading process.
Based on the situation and after an analysis, the two Holmes decided to get off the bus in Canterbury, and then arrived in Brussels for two days as planned.
When I arrived in Strasbourg on the third day, I received a telegram from the police department.
Many criminal gangs have been arrested, but only Moriarty has not been caught.
However, according to Holmes himself, the original plan should be a winning hand.
But such an accident occurred, which also made Holmes feel a little uneasy, feeling that he was always in danger, and advised Watson to return home early.
Watson was naturally unable to agree to this suggestion and decided to continue walking with Holmes.
The next week passed in a rather comfortable time.
However, no matter what beautiful location he was in, Holmes always remained alert and felt enveloped in danger.
Because it is a short story, it comes to the end very quickly.
Regarding Moriarty, Holmes regards him as his ultimate goal, believing that as long as he is brought to justice, his detective career can come to a successful end.
The last story takes place on a mountain. Halfway up the mountain is the famous Reichenbach Falls, which is an extremely dangerous scenery.
There is a path built around the waterfall halfway up the mountain, allowing you to enjoy the panoramic view of the waterfall.
While walking on this path, a young Swiss man sent Watson a letter from the hotel owner.
The letter mentioned that a British lady was suffering from severe bleeding in the late stage of tuberculosis and was in critical condition. She hoped that Dr. Watson could return to the hotel to help.
Faced with this request, Watson couldn't refuse, but he was worried about Holmes being left alone, so in the end he simply asked the young man who delivered the letter to stay with Holmes and act as a tour guide.
But when Watson rushed to the hotel, he discovered that the hotel owner had not written this letter, and there was no critical patient.
According to the clues provided by the boss, the letter was most likely written by a tall British gentleman.
And this person is most likely Moriarty.
After Watson understood the situation, he ran all the way up the mountain, but it took him more than two hours to return to the waterfall, but Holmes was nowhere to be seen.
Only the hiking poles I was leaning on were still leaning against the rocks.
A not very good premonition arises in the hearts of Watson and even the readers at the same time.
"Isn't it possible?" Qiao Lu thought as she held the remaining pages of the book which was not very thick and shook her head.
Holding on to the idea that nothing could happen to the protagonist, Qiao Lu continued to read with a relaxed mind.
But then, Watson only found a muddy scene at the end of the cliff. The thorns and plants on the edge of the cliff were torn off and mixed with the muddy water.
At the same time, Watson also discovered the last letter left by Holmes at this time, breaking the luck in the hearts of Qiao Lu and other readers.
[Dear Watson:
Mr. Moriarty, out of kindness, allowed me to leave a few lines of text...]
The letter was short, but the message conveyed was clear.
Right next to this waterfall, Holmes and Moriarty started a battle, and finally died together and fell off the cliff.
This brings an end to his detective career and a few words about his funeral.
From the excitement and nervousness at the beginning of reading, to now, Qiao Lu felt like she was stupid, and there was only confusion in her eyes.
"Ah?" Qiao Lu only had this reaction, feeling that she had been greatly shocked.
I read a detective novel and the detective died.
It would be fine if it were any other novel, but it is Sherlock Holmes.
It took me a few months to appreciate the charm of this character. At the hot moment, the last case was ushered in. The key is that he died in the last case.
There was not even a little room for change, the rest of the story was on one page, and it came to an end, as if the dust had settled.
“Holy shit??”
In the cafe, there are also many fans who are reading "The Last Case".
After seeing this ending, I couldn't accept it.
This is true offline, but it's even more of an explosion on the Internet.
After "The Final Case" was released online, several topic entries were mentioned.
#Moriarty#, # Sherlock Holmes Falling off the Cliff#, #是什么意思#, #OMEGA就是Crazy?#
A series of several entries directly started the list-washing mode, which was inexplicable to some people who didn't understand this book.
[No, I don’t understand, why did he just fall off the cliff? The key point is that Watson directly wrote that it was the last narration, was it really blocked? 】
[Very good, I haven’t watched it yet, it just exploded.]
【Who would have thought that such an explosive article would come.】
[Aren’t the publishing house and Jiang Yuan prepared to give an explanation? 】
【I have the heart to send blades!】
【I am so dumbfounded that no one understands...】
[Is Jiang Yuan crazy? Is he too tired from work? 】
——
Jiang Yuan wasn't too surprised to see the real-time search trends.
If there had been such a developed Internet in Conan Doyle's era, it would probably be like this.
After reading some comments, and with good psychological expectations, Jiang Yuan decisively turned on the disconnection mode.
Prepare to wait until the publisher responds to the public relations before going online again.
According to the thinking of Yang Chao and others, they were not prepared to respond to this result immediately, but were prepared to let the bullets continue to fly for a while.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before it became the number one search trend.
