Chapter 450

Even Chen Chen, a mystery novelist who had just finished reading it once, was slow to react.

At the same time, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

As a professional mystery novelist, he knew deeply that writing such an interlocking mystery case was no less difficult than hell-level.

Ye Xuan did not directly introduce the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, but instead, through layers of foreshadowing and the perspective of an ordinary person, Watson, allowed outsiders to understand Holmes bit by bit.

After Holmes appeared, the narrative perspective shifted from Watson to the police, and finally to the murderer, constantly highlighting and rendering Holmes's brilliance!

Chen Chen even tried to find flaws in the reasoning, but when he read it for the second time, he was surprised to find:

Not a single flaw!

All the clues and threads of the case were gradually clarified along with Holmes's deduction.

By the time he reached the end, all his thoughts were suddenly enlightened, as if sunlight had pierced through the fog, just to see that glimpse of truth!

Chen Chen sat blankly for a long time, his eyes flashing with shock, admiration, and awe.

Subsequently, a strong sense of pride surged up!

This is absolutely a masterpiece of the Chinese mystery novel world!

In front of such a masterpiece, the Japanese are nothing!

In his excitement, he logged onto his Weibo, which he hadn't used for a long time, and publicly stated.

【Mystery novelist Chen Chen: Compared to Mr. Ye, I feel inferior...】

This was Chen Chen's first statement since returning to the country.

With his statement out, the netizens' discussions became increasingly intense.

"Why can Ye Xuan do everything?! I'm doubting life again. It turns out the gap between people is really even bigger than the gap between humans and dogs..... 【Cracking】"

"The professionals have come out to praise it!"

"Is there anything Ye Gouzi can't do?! How is this supposed to let others live?! 【Facepalm】"

"After finishing Ye Xuan's new book, I've already knelt down, and at the same time, I forced my mom to kneel too. Now my mom has gone to get a kitchen knife, what should I do?!"

……

At this moment, some netizens suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, does no one suspect that Sherlock Holmes really exists? Why do I feel more and more like Holmes is a real person?!"

As soon as this message came out, more and more supporters appeared.

"Holy crap! How did you voice my inner thoughts?!"

"I've been thinking the same thing!"

"Then shouldn't we start by looking for 221 Toad Street?! If 221 Toad Street really exists, wouldn't we be able to find Holmes?!"

"Agree with the front row! By the way, there is a Toad Street in our city, I'm going tonight! 【Dog head】"

"The street next to mine is also called Toad Street, I'll go for a walk this weekend."

Unknowingly, a crowd of netizens began to search for 221 Toad Street, confirming Holmes's whereabouts.

The keyword 【Whole internet searching for 221 Toad Street】 emerged as the times required.

Because of this, streets across the country called "Toad Street" suddenly saw a large influx of unprecedented tourists.

Moreover, the way this crowd of tourists asked for directions was not exactly the same, but it was 99% similar.

"Does your Toad Street have a number 221?!"

"Does this Toad Street have a foreigner named Sherlock Holmes living here?!"

As a result, the original residents of Toad Streets everywhere fell into a state of confusion.

"Our street only goes up to 99, there is no 221."

"It seems there is... just keep walking down this street."

"No, where would we have any foreigners on our street?"

Some netizens found Toad Street but couldn't find 221 Toad Street.

Others found 221 Toad Street but discovered it didn't match the novel's description at all.

Under a series of netizens posting pictures, many went with high hopes only to return disappointed.

Just as the netizens began to give up on their initial thoughts, feeling that Holmes must be a fictional character, a keyword suddenly climbed to the tail end of the trending search list.

【Is this the legendary 221 Toad Street?!】

At present, it was still the peak period for Sherlock Holmes. Once the related topic appeared, netizens surfing the internet clicked in immediately.

As soon as the video opened, it was the blogger specifically zooming in on the house number.

The seemingly mottled and dilapidated old house number, "221 Toad Street," suddenly jumped into view.

Upon seeing this house number, many netizens typed out bullet comments in real-time.

"I've already seen several 221 Toad Streets recently!"

"I don't know if this one is real or fake..."

"It looks quite authentic 【Facepalm】, although I've already prepared myself to give up!"

As the video continued to play, the blogger had already walked inside.

A narrow staircase led to a medium-sized living room, and stepping on the stairs made a creaking sound.

The scene shifted, and in the living room, a sofa, a fireplace, a violin, and various scientific instruments on the table appeared in sequence.

The balcony by the window was even decorated with flower arrangements, full of a sense of ritual.

At this moment, the blogger was screaming excitedly like a groundhog.

"Friends, look, does it look like it?! It's exactly the same as in the novel, right?!"

And the netizens who saw this series of images were also stunned in front of the video as if they couldn't believe it.

Some rubbed their eyes, some started wiping their lenses, and others were so reluctant to blink that they just stared at the video motionlessly.

Too similar!

It's just like a novel coming into reality!

The video continued to play, and the blogger was clearly a social butterfly, having already found the landlord of 221 Toad Street.

The landlord was a young man, looking a bit shy.

Then the blogger's extremely excited voice rang out.

"Has the decoration of this house always been like this?"

The landlord nodded.

"It's like this. A chemistry professor lived here before, but he has already moved out..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the video was once again filled with the blogger's screams.

"Friends, did you hear that?! I think I found it..."

At this moment, even before the video was finished, a crowd of netizens couldn't help but leave crazy comments under the video.

"This, this, this... isn't this Sherlock Holmes's address?!"

"Post the address quickly, I'm buying a ticket to leave immediately!"

"Blogger, post the address!"

When this video blogger posted the final address, the netizens realized in a daze.

Holy crap!

Isn't this the area of Qianzhou, the hometown of the hack author Ye Xuan?!

With this, the activity 【Check-in #Sherlock Holmes Old Site】 was carried out in a grand manner under the spontaneous organization of netizens.

Countless netizens had already opened ticketing software and started buying tickets to Qianzhou.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

Even if they couldn't find Holmes himself in the end, it would be good to go to the old site and soak up some of the atmosphere!

When Ye Xuan learned of this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

He had just written it casually at the time...

There actually really is an identical 221 Toad Street?!

It really is ghostly! ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
