Chapter 294 From Science to Grammar

Chapter 294 From Science to Grammar
When the dawn came, the phone was able to get through very scientifically.

The police arrived and took Kento Toba away, and sent the rest of the tour group back to Tokyo.

Back at Zhibo Office, Qin Zhibo felt a little empty in his heart for a while.

The trip to Sherlock Holmes, which was originally scheduled for three days and three nights, ended in only one day and two nights. How can the remaining time be spent?

Qin Zhibo remembered that the "Study of Green Letters" said by Toshiaki Fujisawa was an innkeeper who plagiarized a man named Neil Moonlight.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhibo turned on his computer and searched.

There was no online encyclopedia in 96, but Qin Zhibo found relevant pages on a knowledge website called "Noah's Ark".

Neil Moonlight - Nineteenth-century figure, date of birth and death unknown, an enigmatic travel biographer.

He published a large number of travel biographies in his life, but most of them did not cause any response. These articles were published in third-rate newspapers and earned meager royalties.

Most of the articles written by him have disappeared, but "A Study of Green Letters" created by him in early 1888 caused strong social repercussions in the British society at that time, so it has been handed down to this day.

At that time, Neil Moonlight published "A Study in Green Letters" in the newspaper less than three months after the publication of "A Study in Scarlet", the famous work that opened the Sherlock Holmes legend.

"A Study of the Green Letter" boldly reverses the identities of Sherlock Holmes and a character named Moriarty.

In this novel, Holmes becomes the murderer of the case.

A professor named Moriarty is the detective who followed him, and a person named Moran next to him acted as Doctor Watson in the original work and recorded the case in the book.

In the original work, Holmes' research on the scarlet characters has also become Moriarty's research on the green characters.

More importantly, the novel hints that Queen Victoria, who rules England, is a huge, inhuman tentacled monster hidden in the gloom.

In the Victorian era when Britain was known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", this statement made this novel regarded as "a deviant work" and was widely criticized.

Including Conan Doyle, the original author of the Sherlock Holmes series, said: The adaptation is not a random compilation, and this kind of work is an insult to his works and even himself.

Among the many crusades of verbal and written criticism, only the University of Brichester in the United Kingdom publicly stated its position and supported this "Research on Green Letters".

The University of Brichester's point of view is that "A Study of Green Letters" is a show of another world view mixed with an ordinary detective story, suggesting to the world the real world, and it is a breakthrough work that breaks the barriers of public knowledge.

"It's a huge shock to the common sense of the world, it seems absurd and unbelievable, but it's absolutely true."

A professor at the University of Brichester commented so.

It is not the first time that Qin Zhibo has heard the name of the University of Brichester.

When I was at the Blue Parrot Bar last time, the name of this university appeared in the information collected by Terai Konosuke.

The Planetarium of the University of Brichester publicly announced the existence of the "Great Halley's Comet", and is preparing to hold a fierce debate with Miskatonic University in the United States.

However, before the debate started, the debate team of Miskatonic University was hit by a bomb attack in the hotel where they were staying, and all members were killed.

If I remember correctly, the time is also 1888.

Publicly proclaiming the existence of the "Great Halley's Comet" and openly supporting another world view shown in "The Study of Green Letters". From these two points of view, the University of Brichester is definitely a "clear stream" in the academic world.

What kind of university is this?
Qin Zhibo opened a new webpage, entered the University of Brichester into the search bar, and found relevant pages easily.

The University of Brichester is located in the town of Brichester in the United Kingdom. It is a world-renowned university, second only to the old British universities Oxford and Cambridge in terms of academic level.

It's just that the University of Bristol often publishes some amazing research conclusions, which have aroused strong discussions and opposition from the academic community.

In addition to the "Great Halley's Comet", the University of Brichester has also publicly stated that the "green rot disease" epidemic near the Severn Valley is related to local beliefs.
Also in the South Pacific, there is an underwater city that sank in ancient times. When the "Great Halley's Comet" returns, the city will surface
In short, the University of Brichester often publishes such academic research results, but it still does not affect its academic rankings around the world.

Qin Zhibo had a brief look at the situation of the university, and then returned to the "Noah's Ark" website.

Although "A Study in Green Letters" was criticized by various parties after its publication, the most amazing thing is that in Conan Doyle's "The Last Case" released in 1893, "James Moriarty" was unprecedentedly included. The character "Professor" has been introduced into his works.

James Moriarty is known as the "Napoleon of crime", a criminal genius with a very high IQ.

He established a huge criminal empire in London, spreading his underworld network across European countries like a spider. Almost all cases in London are related to him, and he can destroy all evidence every time he commits a crime.

This character has not appeared in Conan Doyle's previous works. The only appearance is in the Sherlock Holmes fan work "A Study of Green Letters" released in 1888, as the enemy who tracks Sherlock Holmes.

It can be said that Professor Moriarty is completely a character created by Sherlock Holmes's fan works. As a result, Holmes' original work introduced this character back.

Conan Doyle created a fanfic of Sherlock Holmes fanfiction
In addition, Conan Doyle wrote the ending of Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty as dying together in "The Last Case", which aroused huge repercussions in the society.

The original author actually let the characters appearing in the fan works kill the characters he created!
Someone asked if this was a compromise made to the "Study of Green Letters" a few years ago, and Conan Doyle replied as follows——

"I used to be young and ignorant, but now I am wise."

In fact, Conan Doyle was a staunch spiritualist in his later years, accepting various idealist factions and viewpoints, and believing that the soul can continue to exist after death.

Not only that, but Conan Doyle has publicly supported research into ghost photography at the University of Brichester.

Conan Doyle even ended his friendship with world-renowned escape master Harry Houdini when he publicly mocked that "ghost photography is ridiculous."

A well-known reasoning writer whose writing style is characterized by "scientific and professional", turned out to be a spiritualist who believed in ghosts in his later years.

All this transformation began with "A Study of Green Letters" by Neil Moonlight.
