In the book, he's fantastic reasoning make readers admire and I quite appreciate his subtle observation of things. It's the most important reasons that holmes always can solve a case smoothly.

Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in English, his mother often told him some legends when he was a little boy. In 1876, he started to study medicine in college. At that time, he met Doctor Joseph Bell, and he was the prototype of Sherlock Holmes. Doctor Bell often used reasoning to help him to know the sickness. Finally, he started to write stories when he was free.

When I first read this story in English, I just felt angry with the prisoner who wanted the Agra treasure at last. But when I finished the original edition, I have understudied many things that didn't write in the cut version. How greedy when people become rich! If I was as rich as them, will I become crazy? That was a horrible question. I can't imagine if that all the people in the world become greedy and want to revenge, what will happen.
