Chapter 31
Hoshino Sora felt his insignificance and the height of books for the first time. He was in the Kudo family's study and felt like he was drowned in the ocean of knowledge.
"It's not that I open a bookstore, it's because my dad is a mystery novelist, and these books are his material." Kudo Shinichi explained.
"Material?" Hoshino Sora could not understand, which was beyond his knowledge range, and then he pushed everything he could not understand to the mysterious side, "I understand, your father is also a magician!"
"Hahahahahaha, there are no magicians in this world, only magicians!" Kudo Shinichi laughed, "The mystery novelist specializes in writing mystery novels, just like Conan Doyle."
He smiled and went to get the complete works of Sherlock Holmes.
Sora Hoshino was shaking his head in the study, looking at the words marked on the side of the books on the bookshelf, he was almost dazzled. There are so many books, so many... Can people really finish reading it?
He also said he was not a magician!
Anyway, if he was asked to read a book, he would not have been able to finish a book in a year. There were so many books in the study, and it would take many years to finish it. I am afraid that he would not finish it even if he was old.
"Hoshino, come and see, this is a complete set of Sherlock Holmes novels." On the left floor of the study desk, Kudo Shinichi put a stack of thick books. When he looked at the materials on the surface of the books, he knew that these books were of great value.
You should know that the more exquisite and gorgeous the surface of a book is, the more it means its preciousness. Most people will not buy it, except for rich people or hardcore fans.
However, after thinking about it, you will know that if you can buy land and build a villa in the home of someone who has a lot of money to buy land and build a villa, it would be too bad if the books you collect are all inferior paper street stalls.
Hoshino Sora looked at the stack of books, his eyes twitching wildly. Compared to reading books, he prefers to practice martial arts. "Well, Kudo, didn't you say you read while eating snacks?"
"Ah, wait, watch first, I'll get the snacks now." Kudo Shinichi immediately went to get the snacks.
Hoshino Sora breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was a little worried, and this wave was not a loss.
He walked over, squatted down, opened a book casually, then tilted his head, tilted his head, frowned, frowned, frowned, and finally closed the book.
It’s not that he can’t understand it, he can actually understand it. Well, strictly speaking, it’s half of it, because in a sentence, he doesn’t recognize half of the words. Even if he knows them all, he may not be able to understand what this sentence means.
In general, if he insists on watching, he can only see lonely.
"I've brought it." Kudo Shinichi walked over quickly with a large plate of fairy beetles, then put it on the floor, sat down and greeted, "Let's read."
"Uh... that Kudo, don't you have that kind of book with pictures and words in your family? I still prefer reading that kind of book." Hoshino Sora scratched his head, picked up a piece of fairy bean and put it into his mouth.
"..." Kudo Shin-chan was stunned for a moment, "I used to use it to read when I was very young, but now it may not be available. Wait, the books you mentioned with pictures and words refer to comics, right?"
Sora Hoshino's eyes lit up, "Do you have any comics?"
"No." Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "I don't read comics."
"Don't Holmes have comics?" Hoshino Sora asked unwillingly.
"Holmes still has comics?" Kudo Shinichi looked puzzled, "I only know that there are film and television versions, radio versions, and when will there be comic versions?"
"Film and TV series? Then let's watch movies and TV series! Do you have one at home?" Hoshino Sora became excited when he heard this. Compared to boring novels, movies and TV series naturally attracted him more.
"Film and TV drama..." Kudo Shinichi's face became entangled, "I have it, but how do you say that the film and TV drama adapted? It doesn't have the flavor in the novel. I'm not saying that the actors are not good at acting, but it doesn't fit my fantasy of Sherlock Holmes. Can you understand what I mean? Although the adapted film and TV dramas have stories in novels and are also very exciting, after watching them, I feel that they are short-lived, and they don't have the urgency I did when I read the novel."
It can be heard that he has a great opinion on Sherlock Holmes in the film and television dramas, because Sherlock Holmes' image is so deep that when others play this character, he always looks at it with the most harsh eyes.
In this way, he can find out all the actors with first-class acting skills. What's more, it's even more unreasonable to adapt the plot.
"Let's watch movies and TV dramas, to be honest, I can't understand novels, and I don't know many words." Sora Hoshino told the truth, and didn't feel embarrassed.
If you don’t know, you don’t know. Do you have to pretend to understand and pretend to read seriously?
When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he looked at him and then suddenly realized, "So that's it. I blame me. I have ignored your age. It is really difficult for the Sherlock Holmes series to make people who you don't often come into contact with. Well, watching movies is indeed more intuitive than reading novels directly. Well, let's go to the movies and go to the cinema."
He moved the books on the ground to the desk and then took Hoshino to the cinema.
Hoshino Sora picked up the plate of fallen fairy shells on the ground and followed them while eating.
In this way, the two watched the Sherlock Holmes movies in the cinema.
"This is a movie from five years ago. It was made by Niu Guoren, so the original version is pure English, but I also have a Mandarin version here, which sounds very out of the way. By the way, do you know English?... No, then let's go to the Mandarin version."
"This movie is adapted from "The Bohemian Scandal", and there will be a very powerful woman in it..."
"Look, that's the woman who was honored by Sherlock Holmes as 'that lady'! It's also the only woman who defeated Holmes."
"By the way, do you think this woman looks familiar? Haha, she is actually my mother."
“…”
Kudo Shinichi's mouth seemed to be idle, or when it came to Sherlock Holmes, he always had the urge to speak up. Even when watching a movie, he could interject from time to time, express his opinions, or spoilers.
Originally, he was not very interested in Holmes movies, but today he had a different feeling when watching them with new friends. It was unprecedented, which made him excited and gradually gained popularity.
Sora Hoshino tried hard to slow down his snacks. He felt that he should not eat too hard when he came to someone else's house for the first time, otherwise he might not be able to eat it next time.
Although he was young, he still knew an idiom - fishing in the zoo. This was what he told him when he and his uncle went fishing. The reason why he could remember it was because his uncle said it was very vivid. Fish would give birth to small fish. Small fish would also give birth to small fish when they grew up. As long as they did not break this cycle, there would be fish that would never be eaten. However, once they fished in the zoo and caught all the fish, they would not be able to eat any fish in the future.
