Chapter 121: Rashomon
In 1915, the Japanese writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa wrote a short story - "Rashomon".
It tells the story of a servant who was driven out by his master during a war years, mentally struggling between being a robber and starving to death. At this time, he happened to come to a place full of dead bodies, which was called Rashomon, and he mustered up the courage to go in and find some belongings. He found an old woman in ragged clothes pulling hair from the head of a young woman's dead body. He rushed up and said that you are inhuman, and you don't even let go of dead bodies.
The old woman explained that she just wanted to make a living with the hair as a hood. He said, "This woman used to sell dried snake meat as dried fish, and the people who ate the dried fish thought it was delicious, and the woman was able to make ends meet. I don't think this woman is doing anything wrong, she's just trying to survive like me!" So the servant realized that if it was to survive, what could it not be?
In Baidu Encyclopedia, the word "Rashomon" is defined as follows: Rashomon was originally written in Japanese, and was later used to refer to the boundary between the world and hell, the difference between fact and illusion. It usually refers to the fact that the parties to the incident insist on their own words, and respectively express and prove or weave lies in a way that is beneficial to them, which ultimately makes the truth confusing and difficult to get out.
Society is far from being as simple as film and television, right is right, wrong is wrong, beauty is beauty, ugliness is ugly, good is good, and evil is evil. What you see may not be the truth, and what you hear may not be the truth.
Luo Yuchen and Xiang Bei both felt that they were caught in Rashomon. Luo Jingchen and Xu Changlin each insisted on their own words, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, who was right?
"Faint to death, I feel that the case in Luohe Village is so complicated," Luo Yuchen thought that these heads were about to explode, "As far as you know, what is the relationship between Luo Jingchen and Xu Changlin?"
A notice was sent to the villagers, Xu Changlin said that it had been sent, but Luo Jingchen said that it had not been sent; the villagers signed, but Xu Changlin did not know, and Luo Jingchen did not know. What the hell are these people doing?
Luo Yuchen has an intuition that there are antagonistic emotions among the villagers of Luohe Village, and the emotions are very sharp, otherwise how can they feel that they are against each other everywhere?
"The villagers generally believe that the two have a good relationship. They work together very well in the village team. Luo Jingchen has prestige among the villagers, and many villagers listen to him. Xu Changlin is young and promising, with a lively brain and drive, so the two complement each other very well in terms of personality and ability. It is said that during the two years when Xu Changlin was the village director and Luo Jingchen was the deputy director, they rebuilt the primary school, rebuilt the road, and opened a village-run factory. The villagers are very recognized. Xiang Bei said.
Luo Yuchen said: "But when I say this today, I feel that there seems to be a contradiction between the two of them?"
Xiang Bei said, "What do you mean...... In the demolition project of Luohe Village, Luo Jingchen had disagreements with Xu Changlin, and even ...... Tripping each other up at some points?"
Luo Yuchen said: "Let's make this assumption for the time being: Luo Jingchen and Xu Changlin have different views on the land acquisition project in Luohe Village, including the scope of land acquisition, the developer, the compensation plan, etc. Xu Changlin agreed with the existing plan, while Luo Jingchen opposed ......"
Xiang Bei: "For example, from the beginning, this land acquisition project was opposed by Luo Jingchen, but Xu Changlin supported it, and similarly, Luo Jingchen opposed the land acquisition compensation plan, and Xu Changlin was in favor of this plan. ”
Luo Yuchen: "There is this possibility, after all, if you are in a different position or situation, your position will be different, or to put it more directly, it is just for your own interests." Even brothers can't escape this rule. ”
"Maybe you're right. Luo Jingchen personally told me that he opposed handing over the tens of millions of compensation money to the neighborhood office, and he insisted that the peasants' own money should be handled by the peasants themselves. "......If you oppose it, why do you want to carry out projects everywhere, such as forging signatures, doesn't that mean that the demolition plan is passed?"
"yes, that's a bit of an explanation, it's too complicated. No, I can't think about it anymore, my brain hurts!" Luo Yuchen shook his head, looking pained.
"Team Luo, you're the captain of the city bureau, you can't stand this little thing? Don't say you have a headache, I've been since."
How many times have you almost gone to meet Marx when you have anything to do with it? My brain is much more fragile than yours. "There are thorns in the words of the north.
However, Luo Yuchen knew as soon as he heard it that the other party was joking. He felt that what Xiang Bei said also made some sense, among the three coordinates of Luohe Village, Beijiang Evening News, and Prison, Xiang Bei intersected with them the most, and it was also the one that hurt the most. However, everyone's tolerance is different, which can only show that Xiang Bei's tolerance is strong. If it is replaced by Luo Yuchen, I don't know what to do, he is the monkey who jumped out of the crack in the stone, killing Buddha and killing ghosts when he encounters Buddhas.
As the saying goes: call the Buddha, and there is no shore to turn back. Kneel alone as a teacher, life and death have nothing to do with it. The true and false realms of good and evil in the floating world, the dust is scattered and unclear, and it is difficult to break!
"If I check a dry corpse and a broken corpse, it's no problem, and my face will definitely not change and my heart will not beat. What about you? Are you scared to vomit? So back to that sentence, there is a specialization in the art industry. Neither of us should laugh at anyone. ”
Luo Yuchen is also a person who has seen the world, the case of the boy in red, the case of the corpse of Heda, and the case of self-immolation on the bus, which one is not shocking? Those corpses -- those corpses that have been cut into meat rolls that can be used in shabu-shabu, those that have been burned into tomahawk steaks, and those that have been crushed into a lump of meat by muck trucks...... It's disgusting to think about.
Luo Yuchen felt that if he wanted to see through life and death, those policemen and soldiers who had been fighting on the front line all year round could see through it better than anyone else. Even so, it does not affect their pride in eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.
Xiang Bei is reluctant to theorize more about who has better psychological quality, and he feels that the most important thing at the moment is to uncover these mysteries.
It seems that the only way to know the answers to these questions is to find Luo Jingchen. Xiang Bei said.
……
The more you use your head, the more alive you are, that's the truth. Fat Dong's career is thriving, and the little head melon is getting smarter and smarter. After the last time Nanshan Forest Farm failed to find Luo Jingchen, Fat Dong had a heart, before leaving, he asked for the ranger's phone number, and asked Luo Jingchen about the situation every three or five times.
His trick is really good, which not only saves trouble, but also improves efficiency. It's so perfect that you don't want to.
However, why is he so concerned? There are so many things waiting for him to decide every day in the company, and sometimes in the blink of an eye, a list of 10 million may be missed. Fat Dong thought about it, maybe the scenery of Nanshan Forest Farm is too beautiful, maybe the grass skiing there is too fun.
There must be a reason to care about men, and he is not a "glass".
However, Fat Dong soon got the bad news: he may not be able to see Luo Jingchen in a short time.
"Why do you say that?" Xiangbei received a call from Fat Dong, a little surprised and a little disappointed.
The ranger said that Luo Jingchen's daughter who settled in Guangzhou was born, and he was going there to see the child, and it was estimated that he would not be able to return for a while. Fat Dong explained.
"How long will it take?"
"It is said that Luo Jingchen took a leave of absence for half a year, or ...... Let's go to Guangzhou? It's a world of flowers, let's go for a walk. You don't have to worry about food and housing, I'll let the Guangzhou branch arrange it."
Fat Dong said this casually, and suddenly felt that it was a good idea. Shaoyang Media has a branch in Guangzhou, and its business performance this year is good. The president of the branch proposed to Fat Dong many times that he must go to the Guangzhou branch to inspect and cheer up the brothers. The data proves that Guangdong has an increasing proportion of the market in Shaoyang Media. Of course, there is something to eat and play in Guangzhou, which is far more lively than the "big countryside" of Hedong.
Right now, Luo Jingchen should be the only one who knows the answer. Xiangbei also wanted to find him as soon as possible, but the reality did not allow it.
"Wait, I've got something on my side too. Xiangbei found an excuse to shirk it, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart. Half a year, it is estimated that it will be winter, and it may be more difficult to find someone in the mountains at that time.
……
Nearly four years later, the whole thing is like a broken book, and many details are difficult to find and piece together.
Luo Yuchen and Xiangbei found a weekend to come to the Phoenix Community. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's a large community of 100,000 people, but it's a bit of a dazzle to see these neat, tall residential buildings.
The two shuttle through the community, with fitness equipment, running tracks, courts, open-air swimming pools and other facilities.
"This is only a part of the Phoenix community, which is divided into different districts, which are closed to each other, but the whole large community is open to social vehicles such as buses. Xiang Bei said.
Luo Yuchen looked at Xiang Bei: "You are very familiar with this place." ”
Belch...... Yes, he is familiar with this place, but why? Have you been here? Xiang Bei's heart was full of questions, he felt like an amnesiac, and the scene in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar.
"I've probably been here a few times. "Xiangbei really can't remember.
"Have you been here?"
"Hmm. Xiang Bei's expression was serious, and there was no squeak. Friend? He searched for these two words in his mind, what friend lived here? A person's name suddenly flashed in his mind! He? No way! How could it be! It should just be a coincidence.
"Did you think of something? It's inconvenient to tell me?" Luo Yuchen sensed the abnormality. Heh, this kid's eyes don't lie at all.
"Nothing, I just thought of a person who also lives in this neighborhood. But this should just be a coincidence, the Phoenix community is a big community after all. Xiang Bei thought about it, and just by looking at his expression, he could guess that he was very entangled in his heart.
"Hey, keep it from me. I've got on the thief ship with you, and you're still hiding it from me. I can tell you, I'm a policeman, tell me what you think, maybe I can help you," Luo Yuchen didn't ask more, but turned on his mobile phone and checked the other party's address information, "It should be this building." ”
Following the address provided by Xiao Li of the technical department, the two walked to a building, in front of which was a community supermarket, the supermarket was not large, but the FMCG area, cooked food area, vegetable area, etc. were quite neat and meticulous.
"Team Luo, are you sure it's here?" Xiang Bei felt that it was not right, according to his assumption, the location shown by this IP address should be a private house, how could this be a commercial house?
"Xiao Li is a famous hacker in the city bureau, uh...... No, the famous network master. I haven't gone wrong in all these years. ”
"Okay. "I believe you for the time being, and follow Luo Yuchen into the house to the north.
Inside, there was a fat middle-aged woman sitting on the side of the cash register. This man is holding a fan in one hand and snorting melon seeds in the other.
"Eldest sister, why don't you turn on the air conditioner on such a hot day?" Luo Yuchen stepped into the entrance of the supermarket.
"Turn on the air conditioner? "It's so fucking hot, the fat girls don't even bother to lift their eyelids.
"Are you the head of this house?" Maybe it was because of professional habits, Luo Yuchen asked straight to the point and when he entered the door.
The middle-aged woman reached out and grabbed the towel on the cash register and wiped a handful of sweat on her face, and a pair of Danfeng eyes glanced at Luo Yuchen, as if asking: What a problem, do you still ask these questions when you buy things?
"I'm the owner and the house is rented. The woman replied coldly.
The fat girl is right, the first floor of the Phoenix Community is a ground floor shop, and the storefront can be bought or rented. The supermarket is a small business, so it is naturally cost-effective to rent a house.
Taking advantage of the gap between Luo Yuchen and the proprietress talking, he glanced north at the environment in the house: the entire supermarket was separated by three rooms, large and small, with fruits and vegetables, daily sales, etc. It's not like a place where you can send emails, and the hostess doesn't look like people who can send emails.
In a trance, he saw a computer on the table behind the cash register, and it was not difficult to see from the computer monitor, the color and style of the main chassis that it should have been purchased and modified by the householder.
Luo Yuchen also noticed the computer.
"How many years has this computer been used?" Luo Yuchen asked.
"It's been more than a year, and the previous computer was too old, and my husband replaced it. The fat girls suddenly talked more.
"Do you often use this computer by the neighbors in the community?" Xiangbei took two bottles of water from the shelves and handed them to the fat woman.
"Who doesn't have a computer now, and it's convenient to use a mobile phone, basically no one else uses it, we use it ourselves. The proprietress said as she scanned the QR code.
"If someone had used a computer more than three years ago, would you still remember who it was?" asked Xiang Bei.
The fat woman glanced at him with her peripheral vision and let out a sneer from her nostrils: "You're funny, aren't you? I'm not a computer, can I remember who used it three years ago?"
