Deep Dive

福尔摩斯探案:斑点带的秘密

我参与制作的全新播客系列——《福尔摩斯短篇故事》,由休·博内威利倾情演绎,将带领听众踏上惊险刺激的旅程,深入探究柯南·道尔笔下最负盛名的福尔摩斯探案,并以其原汁原味的文字呈现。从伦敦雾蒙蒙的街道到狂风肆虐的荒原,我们将跟随这位传奇侦探和华生医生,抽丝剥茧,揭开一个个扑朔迷离的案件,例如《斑点带》、《红发联盟》和《扭曲嘴唇的人》。

本系列以《斑点带》开篇。故事伊始,海伦·斯托纳女士焦急万分地来到贝克街221B,寻求福尔摩斯的帮助。她讲述了与继父格里姆斯比·罗伊洛特博士之间令人不安的冲突,以及她姐姐朱莉娅离奇死亡的经过。

海伦描述了罗伊洛特博士暴躁的性格、古怪的行为以及他对印度动物的嗜好——他甚至养着猎豹和狒狒。两年前,她的双胞胎姐姐朱莉娅在夜里发出一声尖叫,嘴里喊着“斑点带”,然后便死去。验尸官的调查未能找到令人信服的死因。

更令人毛骨悚然的是,海伦最近搬回了姐姐曾经居住的房间,昨晚,她再次听到了那令人不寒而栗的哨声——这正是姐姐去世前听到的声音。这哨声,以及姐姐临死前的惊呼“斑点带”,都笼罩着令人难以言喻的恐怖。

作为叙述者,我——华生医生——见证了福尔摩斯非凡的推理能力。他只处理那些不同寻常甚至奇特的案件,而海伦·斯托纳的遭遇无疑属于此列。她姐姐的死因成谜,而那令人毛骨悚然的哨声再次响起,预示着新的危险正在逼近。

接下来的剧情中,我们将跟随福尔摩斯和华生,深入斯托克莫兰庄园那古老而阴森的宅邸,那里充满了异域风情和致命的秘密。我们将见证福尔摩斯如何运用他敏锐的思维和准确的直觉,从细微的线索中抽丝剥茧,最终揭开这起案件背后的真相,并揭露隐藏在“斑点带”背后的惊人秘密。 这将是一场智力与勇气的较量,一场与死亡赛跑的冒险。
