Chapter 391: Looking for a Ghost
After hanging up Li Tian's phone, Lin Mo thought for a while, feeling that Li Tian alone might not be able to find out what he wanted.
The incident of Zhou Fuhai illustrates this truth, the official power is indeed strong, and it can involve many aspects, but strong does not mean comprehensive, if the official can investigate a certain amount in detail, then many professions do not need to exist.
He closed the door of the teahouse and asked Lao Hei about the distribution of power in Fengcheng now, but he didn't get any clue.
Leaving the teahouse, taking a car, to an urban village in Fengcheng, every city is experiencing the process of urbanization, some cities go faster, some are slower, in the process of increasing urban construction, many small villages, small towns will be surrounded by cities.
It has become a so-called urban village, where you can still see some old buildings, two-story buildings, tube buildings from the last century, and many things left over from history, but you can find them here.
Many of the people who live in urban villages are migrant workers, and although the conditions here are a little worse than those in the center of the city, they also have their own unique characteristics, such as cheap rent.
Of course, one of the most important benefits is that you can feel more human touch here.
The city has become more and more standardized, reinforced concrete has become the main color, and the people in the city are becoming more and more busy, busy with work and making money. Busy studying, busy life, in short, busy all day long.
Usually, there is not much communication, after a day of work, there is not much time to sleep, where do you have the heart to find someone to chat, everyone is not familiar with it, to a strange environment, a strange community, even if you want to make friends, few people will speak first.
Speak first and others think you are ill-intentioned, girls when you want to talk, the guy thinks you want to sell loans, uncles and aunts associate you with health care products, after all, in a city with a high degree of informatization, many people will subconsciously become defensive of others.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, but it makes people communicate less and less with each other.
But in the urban village, you will see a different world, in the morning, there are shouting and selling, in the evening, when it gets dark, there are rows of barbecue stalls, and you can also see a group of grandfathers getting together to play chess.
Occasionally, when you pass by, someone will greet you: "Little brother, have you eaten?" Where is this going? ”
The atmosphere is harmonious, as long as you want to join in, as long as you spend a little time, it is easy to reach a piece with everyone, and then spend a little time to get acquainted with it, and everyone will be like old friends who have been together for many years, stuffing you with more when buying vegetables, and adding a few more pieces of meat to you when eating.
These things are not uncommon.
However, Lin Mo came here this time, not to feel these human feelings, everyone has their own life, and everyone likes different tastes, so naturally they can't force anything.
If Lin Mo really came here to open a teahouse, lying on a chair and drinking tea all day long, then it is estimated that he will be said, how can a young man be a little old man at a young age, and he has no hobbies, playing chess and yo-yo birds.
That kind of care is estimated to allow Lin Mo to integrate in quickly, but he also has his own way to go.
This time he came here mainly to find a person, this person to be honest, he didn't know either, he just knew that there was such a person in this urban village, he didn't know where that person lived, he didn't know what the person's name was, and he didn't even know the person's gender, but he knew that person's occupation.
His or her profession is called Ghost Chronicles.
This is the reporter's note, TV news needs reporters, and there are a group of people in the dark corners of the world who are doing what they remember, but they don't serve any TV station, they are ghosts.
Ghost is a very peculiar profession, in which there are not only people, but also ghosts, people communicate with people, ghosts communicate with people, it may seem that some professions overlap, but in fact they are not the same.
The ghosts in the profession of Ghost Remembering, that is, the kind of imps that Lin Mo once summoned, as long as you have enough pay, you can get the news you want from their mouths.
The Rumor Imp is very quick to detect any news, and even if you pay enough to get them to keep an eye on a person for you, it's much easier than using a machine to get some recordings, saving time and effort.
But the disadvantage is that you can only know the news, but you can't leave any traces at all, and you only know what you know.
It is rumored that the little ghost has big ears and can collect a lot of information, but there is a problem, that is, if you want to know something that happened many years ago, it depends on luck whether it knows it, if it is too long, and the impression is not very deep, it is very likely that you will not be able to know these news.
And this brings us to another kind of ghost memorization, that is, people who make ghost memorization their profession.
These people don't look for any information, they don't investigate anything specifically, they are only responsible for collecting, recording and organizing, and each of them has a close connection with one or more rumored imps.
Many rumored imps will record the news they get here in the ghost book, not in detail, of course, but in the form of illusions.
After developing for so many years, although I don't know how it was established as a ghost, there are also treasures among ghosts, such as the wind rumor, which has low combat effectiveness, and there will also be treasures, but their treasures are not used for fighting, but for storing news.
Each little ghost will regularly store the information he collects into the doppelganger of the treasure, and there are special ghosts in the ghost to sort out the news, and the person who is a ghost is actually like a librarian, holding a large number of directories in his hand, the birth date, and the name and place of origin are the query conditions.
They will hold the clone of the treasure in the Wind Imp in their hands, and every day there will be a special Wind Word Ghost to help them update the list of messages.
If someone finds them, they can search for news from many years ago, as long as you pay a large enough price, not to mention the news of someone in modern society, even the news from more than a hundred years ago, you can get it, as for whether it is accurate or not, there is no way to determine, after all, too much time has passed.
As for another benefit, if you ask the ghost to help, just give money, and other things will be handled by the ghost himself, including incense paper money, because some things don't just need to burn incense, burning incense does not completely represent incense, it can only be regarded as an offering, and the incense with the power of the wish is actually called real incense.
As for you burning some incense directly, it can only be called an offering, which can only make the imp full, but it will not improve its own strength much.
Last time, it was just that the question asked by Lin Mo was relatively simple, and the price that needed to be paid was relatively small, and just lighting a few sticks of incense could be regarded as coping with it, and the little ghost was very grateful to Lin Mo.
This time things are completely different, ordinary rumored ghosts rarely know a person's specific experience, so Lin Mo needs to come here to find the ghost who is responsible for the resale of this kind of news, as for whether he can find it or not, and how much it will cost, everything is still unknown.
Walking into the urban village, Lin Mo put on a pair of sunglasses that had been prepared for a long time, behind the sunglasses, Lin Mo's causal eyes had already been opened, and the light in his eyes flickered, perceiving every trace of change around him, and observing everyone who walked by.
The aura on the ghost is different from that of ordinary people, and they often trade with ghosts, and it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with some yin energy, so many ghosts look pale, cold hands and feet, and look like they have just recovered from a serious illness, and their skin is paler than that of normal people.
If they walk down the street and look closely, they will see that their shadows are a little lighter than normal people.
After walking around the entire urban village, Lin Mo found a place that was more like a ghost to live, where the yin qi was thicker than the average place, and Lin Mo also smelled incense there.
