/kloc-In the middle and late 20th century, there was a lecturer and surgeon named joseph bell in the medical department of Edinburgh University. Usually, he teaches very carefully at school. Few people would have thought that he was still a private investigator! His legendary story inspired Conan Doyle to create the classic Sherlock Holmes image in the history of world literature.

One night at the beginning of this century, a dozen guests sat around the dining table after hunting in Scotland at the weekend to discuss some famous unsolved cases. One of the guests, Dr. Yue Se Bell, surprised everyone by describing his detective skills. The famous surgeon's magical inference influenced writers Conan Doyle, robert louis stevenson and playwright james m. barrie.

"Most people look at it, but they don't observe it," he said. "In fact, you can tell a person's nationality from his face and his industry from his hands at a glance; Everything else can also be seen from his steps, manners, bracelet ornaments and lines stuck on his clothes.

A patient came into the room where I was teaching some medical students. Ladies and gentlemen, I said, "This gentleman is a soldier of the Highland Army in Scotland, and may be a member of a military band." I pointed out that he swaggered around like a bagpiper in the Highlands of Scotland. He is short. If he is a soldier, he may be a military musician. But he insisted that he was a shoemaker and never joined the army.

"I asked him to take off his shirt and saw a small blue' D' brand on his skin. During the Crimean War, deserters were branded as usual. He finally admitted that he was a band member of the Highland Army. Very simple. "

A man listened and said, "Dr. Bell can almost be Sherlock Holmes." Dr. Bell immediately shouted, "Dear Sir, I am Sherlock Holmes."

Conan Doyle admitted in his autobiography that he was really inspired by Dr. Bell to write the immortal detective in the novel.

Holmes' deductive and analytical rules are often talked about by Dr. Bell in real life. "I have always taught students to pay attention to the importance of observing people in detail, and trivial things contain endless meanings," Dr. Bell once told a reporter. "No matter what kind of handicrafts you make, you will almost leave a mark on your hand. The scars on miners' hands are different from those on masons' hands. The calluses on the hands of carpenters are different from those on the hands of plasterers. Soldiers and sailors walk differently. Especially for women, observant doctors can often accurately guess which part of her body is sick. "Dr. Bell believes that both doctors and detectives must cultivate observation, and anyone who develops this ability can make life rich and interesting. After his death, his sister, Mrs. Stevie, recalled: "When the family went out to travel by train, he would tell us where other passengers on the bus came from, where they were going, and their occupations and habits. "Don't talk to them, he knows everything. Later, he confirmed that the observation was correct. We all thought he was a magician. "

One afternoon, Dr. Bell was working in the Royal Hospital when someone knocked at the door. "Come in," he said, and then came in alone. Dr. Bell stared at him. "Why are you upset?"

"How do you know I'm upset?"

"Even knock four times when knocking at the door. It is enough for the average person to knock twice, up to three times. "

That man is really in trouble.

Doyle once said to his visitors, "Dr. Bell sits in his reception room and likes to make a diagnosis before the patient opens his mouth." Tell their symptoms, even tell the trivial details of their past lives. Almost foolproof. "

Dr. Bell proves to students every day that observation is not magic, but science. At the Royal Hospital, a man came in and said, "It's a shoemaker." Later, he explained to the students: "The wear of the inner knee of his trousers is a unique feature of the shoemaker. That's where they put the shoe anvil. "

Doyle was a student assistant to Dr. Bell when he was young. Once, a patient came in. Dr. Bell asked, "You came from Cheng Nan today and walked all the way through the golf course. Did you have a good time? " The patient said, "Hello, have you seen me?" Dr. Bell didn't see him, but explained, "It rained heavily today, so the red mud on the golf course stuck to his boots." There is no such soil anywhere else. "

Doyle once mentioned an example of Dr. Bell's careful observation in his autobiography. The doctor looked at the outpatient silently for a while and said, "You used to serve in the army and belonged to the Scottish Highland Army. You just retired. "

"yes."

"Is it a sergeant class, stationed in Barbados?"

"yes."

Dr. Bell turned to his students and said, "You see, he is a polite man, but he doesn't take off his hat. The army does not take off its hat. If it has been retired for a long time, it should have learned the habits of civilians. He is dignified and obviously Scottish. As for Ba Bedoz, he suffers from elephantiasis, which proves that he is stationed in the West Indies. " A few years later, Doyle still remembers this incident vividly, and repeated it in detail in Sherlock Holmes' detective novel Greek Interpretation.

Doyle graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 188 1. Hang up the brand of ophthalmologist. Six years later, the door is still empty. I turned to writing because I was eager to increase my income. It wasn't very good at first, but later, influenced by French novelists Gaborone and Poe, I decided to try to write detective novels. He wants to write a detective who doesn't fall into the trap of his predecessors.

"I thought of my teacher, Bell," Doyle recalled in his autobiography. "If he is a detective, he will definitely turn this interesting and unorganized business into a career close to rigorous science. The more I think about it, the more interested I am. What should I name this role? "

He thought that English cricketers and another famous American writer were both called Sherlock Holmes, so he named his detective Sherlock Holmes. 1887, the first Sherlock Holmes novel "Burton's Christmas Yearbook" was published, which did not immediately cause a sensation. But it caught the attention of an American editor and ordered more Sherlock Holmes novels from him two years later. Since then, the detective has become an immortal figure in literature.

Doyle's writing is vivid, and every Sherlock Holmes novel has aroused the discussion of countless enthusiastic readers in Europe and America. In the legend of Novo Architects, a crazy young man broke into Holmes' apartment in Baker Street and claimed his name as John MacFarlane. Holmes replied lazily, "You announced your name like this, as if I should have heard a lot about you.". In fact, I only know a little about you, except that you are unmarried, a lawyer, a member of a fraternity and have asthma. "

Dr bell is not always right. But he has a sense of humor. Whenever a visitor asks him to tell his strange stories, he likes to tell the story of his visit to a bedridden patient. "Aren't you a member of a military band?" Dr. Bell leaned over to ask the patient questions. "Yes," said the patient. Dr. Bell proudly turned to the students and said, "Look, gentlemen, it's very simple. His facial muscle paralysis is caused by playing too many musical instruments. Just ask him to confirm. What instrument do you play? "

The patient propped himself up on his elbow and said, "Doctor, I play the big drum!" " "

The medical teacher is an expert in solving crimes.

There is a lecturer and surgeon named joseph bell in the medical department of Edinburgh University. Usually, he teaches very carefully at school. Few people would have thought that he was still a private investigator!

Once, while Bell was having a class, a middle-aged man broke in and asked Bell to see him. Bell asked, "Did you just cross the west side of the classroom?"

The grass in front of you? The man admitted in surprise, "How do you know?" "Bell replied," There is red mud under your feet. Only Edinburgh grass has this kind of clay. " Then, the students in Beljean judge what's wrong with this person. The students were full of opinions, but none of them satisfied Jambers. Finally, he told the students: "This man's trouble is drinking. You see, he has rosacea and his face is red, which are all symptoms of long-term drinking. The most important thing is that his right pocket is bulging, and there must be a bottle of wine in it! " With that, Bell took out a bottle of whisky from the man's right pocket! The students were dumbfounded.

One day, a woman with a knife wound died in the hospital. The police asked Bell to dissect the body, and Bell proved that the woman died of wound infection with strict logic and sufficient scientific evidence in the autopsy report. The police initiated a murder investigation procedure for this purpose. This is a pioneering work in criminology-since then, the autopsy report of the forensic doctor has enabled the police to identify a murder case and start the corresponding investigation procedure.

Bell's reputation spread gradually, and the police often invited him to assist in the investigation.

Solve the "Chandell murder"

1878 Chantelle murder is one of the most famous cases in the history of British crime.

Chantelle is a British celebrity. 1878, he reported to the police that his wife was dying of gas poisoning. Bell and the police rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the news. The police investigated a circle and found nothing unusual. Just as they were about to end the case with an accident, Bell shouted, "Wait a minute!" " I saw him first put his nose to the mouth of the deceased and smelled it carefully; Then he picked up a pillow towel covered with vomit from the bed of the deceased and smelled it. Then, without a word, he folded the pillow towel and took it away. At this point, Mr. Chantelle's face showed a trace of panic.

It turned out that when Danbert saw the vomit on the pillow towel, he felt something was wrong: vomiting was not a symptom of gas poisoning. Moreover, people with gas poisoning will give off an unpleasant smell in their mouths, but Mrs. Chantelle doesn't have this smell in her mouth. Bell judged that Mrs. chantel died of opium.

After investigation, Mr Chantelle bought 30 copies of opium before his wife died. The laboratory detected that the vomit on the pillow towel contained opium. A few days later, Mr Chantelle was arrested by the police.

Sherlock Holmes was born.

1877, a student named Conan Doyle came to Bell's class. Bell chose this student as his clerk, and asked him to follow him to dissect the body and investigate the case. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, Conan Doyle began to observe the teacher carefully.

After graduation, Conan Doyle opened a small clinic, but business was not good. He can only earn money by writing novels for magazines. In the process of creation, he changed Bell into "Sherlock Holmes" in his works. 1887165438+10, the first novel with Sherlock Holmes as the protagonist, A Study of Bloody Characters, was published, which was widely praised by readers.

Just as Sherlock Holmes' series of novels were popular in Europe, the bloodiest and scariest serial murder case-"Jack the Ripper" case happened in London, and prostitutes were killed one after another. The whole Britain is calling for Sherlock Holmes to appear in the real world.

Shortly after the incident, the British police sent the relevant information to Bell. The police listed three suspects in the data: 1, Du Lide, a private school teacher; 2. John, a Polish Jew, lives near the murder scene; 3.Tablett often pretends to be a doctor to cheat.

Shortly after reading this information, Bell wrote down the name of the suspect he confirmed in a document and handed it over to the police. Shortly thereafter, the number one suspect, Du Lide, committed suicide mysteriously, and the series of murders came to an end. Many people believe that Bell accused Du Lide of being a murderer and leaked the news to him, forcing him to commit suicide.

Bell has cracked many important cases in his life, but after each case, he always hides in the corner silently and never makes public-this feature is also possessed by Holmes.

Bell worked on the podium until he was 64. 19 1 1 year, the founder of modern forensic medicine passed away silently at home.
