Detective novels began in the 19th century American writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), and the beginning of Chinese detective novels began in the late Qing. There are lots of translation works in late Qing. At the same time that a large number of translations introduce new types of literature, foreign cultures, urban elements, and western thoughts have followed. Although the translation is not original, the fashion of free translation integrating the thoughts, culture and insights of the late Qing authors. “Shi-Bao” even published Mr. Sherlock’s trip to Shanghai in 1905. Sherlock Holmes is not only translated into China, but also visited translator’s imaginary of late Qing. Seeing the enthusiasm of detectives and the development of detective novels. With Holmes coming from abroad is not just a literary change, but Detective Novels do "Transplanting from West" and "Integrating in China". The mixed-race detective novels of the late Qing are unique. I’m going to response the question of “What did they study in the West?”, “What Chinese traditions are inherited?”, and finally, “What kind of late Qing detective novels are merged?”
