Chapter 147: A Peculiar Intangible Heritage
Lou Xinglan and Bujin arrived in Nanlin City, the people in the urban area are not familiar with the place, the language is not comprehensible, the Mandarin they speak is not understood by others, and they cannot understand the local dialect spoken by others.
The two of them instantly felt that one head and two were big, and they had known that they would come back after a careful plan, and now they are really ......
"Why don't we go to the police station." Bujin suggested, otherwise it would not be possible to hang out on the street like this.
Lou Xinglan was speechless, they came over as if they had broken into another world, out of place, never thought that they would also need to find the police for help.
"Let's go." Lou Xinglan took Bu Jinyu out of the police station on his mobile phone and took her over.
Someone here should be able to understand them.
They may have walked into the police station with a confused look on their faces, or they may not have a temperament that looks like a native of Nanlin, and a police officer looked at them in the local dialect and said something.
But under Lou Xinglan's guess, it should have been said: two more outsiders.
It may not be the case, but the general meaning is always correct.
A policewoman wearing a tourist assistant police officer on her clothes walked out of it and asked them in standard Mandarin, "Are you here to visit Nanlin?"
Bu Jinyu looked at her very kindly, and was bothered by Nanlin's complicated local dialect all morning, and finally heard the words that she could understand, so relieved.
"No, we're here to handle the case." Lou Xinglan took out his police ID.
The policewoman looked at it, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Oh! It turned out to be a peer! I thought it was a tourist again, and there was no kind of group with the group, and the people who came to the police if they didn't understand the local dialect. ”
"......" Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu were a little speechless, although they didn't come here, they really didn't join the group, and they couldn't understand the local dialect, and they came to call the police.
How does it feel like you're laughing at them?
"Since it's a peer who is here to handle the case, please go inside, I'll take you to see the captain, so he can help you." The policewoman led them upstairs.
Bujin thought about it and hesitated to ask, "Does your captain speak Mandarin?"
"That must be." The policewoman smiled.
Upstairs, she looked at the empty office and then at the closed door of the conference room: "You guys wait outside for a while, they're still in a meeting."
"Okay." Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu sat in the reception room next to them.
The policewoman went to pour a glass of water for each of them: "Drink water."
"Thank you." Bu Jinyu took the water cup and looked at the nameplate she wore on her chest: "Officer Chen, why does no one in Nanlin City know Mandarin?"
Officer Chen looked at them with a little surprise: "Did you really not inquire about anything before you came?"
Bu Jinyu looked at Lou Xinglan and shook his head: "The incident happened suddenly, I didn't have time to see it."
"Although Nanlin City is relatively remote and poor, it is an intangible cultural heritage of local characteristic languages, and the dialect of Nanlin City is a kind of culture, so they have not learned Mandarin much since they were young, just to preserve this cultural heritage." Officer Chen explained the situation to them in detail.
"Then did you pass the exam from another province?" Bujin asked curiously.
"Yes." Officer Chen nodded.
"Understood." Before they knew it, they actually saw the intangible cultural heritage, and the entrance fee was confiscated.
"You said before that there are people who travel and can't understand the words here and call the police?" Lou Xinglan asked.
"Yes, those who come alone have only seen some sporadic introductions about Nanlin City in travel magazines, and have not read them carefully. I thought that the people here must be able to speak both Nanlin and Mandarin, but when I came over, I found that it was not like that at all. Officer Chen was also speechless, during the peak tourist season in winter and summer, he would meet more than a dozen such people a day.
"And how did you solve it?" Lou Xinglan asked.
"Send them to a professional tour group."
Lou Xinglan knew clearly, this is indeed the most effortless way.
"What is the charm of Nanlin dialect?" Bujin didn't seem to have grasped the essence of the language, and she didn't feel anything different except that she couldn't understand it.
"I don't know, but that's how it's defined." Officer Chen didn't really appreciate this kind of culture.
Lou Xinglan and the others waited for about ten minutes, and the door of the conference room next to them finally opened, and the people who were in the meeting inside slowly walked out.
"Xiao Chen, another tourist came to the police and said that he didn't understand Nanlin's dialect?" A police officer saw them sitting there teasing.
Another person behind him patted him on the head: "Are you stupid, if tourists who don't understand the language can let Xiao Chen bring them up?" This must be the police. ”
Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu miraculously understood what they said, and Officer Chen smiled: "They have been studying for a while, but they can speak some things if they are not foreign or local."
"Captain, this way!" Officer Chen saw the captain of the criminal investigation team in the Nanlin City Bureau and hurriedly beckoned.
Cheng Jin raised his head from the document in his hand: "What's the matter?"
"A colleague from Linyuan City." Officer Chen looked at Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu.
Cheng Jin put away the documents and walked towards them.
"This is the captain of our bureau, Cheng Jin, if there is anything you talk about slowly, I'll go downstairs first." Officer Chen helped them with introductions.
"I'm in trouble." Lou Xinglan nodded.
"I think I've seen you." After Cheng Jin sat down, he looked at Lou Xinglan suspiciously.
"Let's have a year-end summary meeting." Lou Xinglan could think of the situation when they had the opportunity to meet at the end of each year when the representatives of various provinces, cities and states held a summary meeting.
"It should be." Cheng Jin nodded: "Which urban area are you from?" What do you need help with this time? There have been so many accidents caused by the Anomalous lately, and our entire brigade has been spinning for three days in a row, and we haven't slept for less than two hours a day. ”
It can be seen that he has heavy dark circles under his eyes and is not in good spirits.
"Well, the suspect in one of our cases escaped to Nanlin City."
Cheng Jin nodded: "Oh! You're from Linyuan City, aren't you? I got a call yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come in person. ”
"Don't worry, yesterday we were already arranging people to check the monitoring, even if our Nanlin City is relatively poor, but the monitoring is still installed, and Skynet is still connected."
"Okay, excuse me, I just heard that you guys also met a stranger here?" Lou Xinglan asked.
"Hey......" Cheng Jin leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "No, they are all potential criminals who have heard the wind."
To put it bluntly, those who usually want to commit crimes, but are under the constraints of various rules, do not dare to do it, and now with the shield of the supernatural, they are ready to move, and one person starts and the rest follow.
Among them are the instigators of Elysium, and of course, there are some paranormal people who have not been included in the various forces have also begun to act.
At the beginning of the troubled times, police stations across the country were busy.
"Linyuan City is similar, it won't be better than your side, we have to go back if we catch people as soon as possible."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the surveillance that comes out." Cheng Jin took them to the detective's office, where more than a dozen high-configuration computers monitored the scope of their jurisdiction.
These things could have been done by Ruan Meng in minutes, but the case has already left the province, and they need to get approval for calling the monitoring on the Tianwang of other provinces, and the series of processes may have run away without a trace.
Lou Xinglan and they tracked down Li Daizhen in Nanlin City, and they also received a new case in Siyu in Linyuan City, and Tian Hao's death was temporarily set on Li Daizhen.
They all felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but they couldn't help it, a new case was coming, and they couldn't wait there.
Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu looked at the surveillance carefully, sifting through the surveillance of several exits of the airport after Li Daizhen got off the plane.
"You investigate slowly, I still have a case in my hands, so I won't help you, if you need anything, just support a few of them." Cheng Jin pointed to several police officers in the office who were in charge of surveillance.
"Okay, you're busy." Lou Xinglan didn't look back.
If it weren't for the mess that came out now, Lou Xinglan and they would have at least a few people to help investigate, and now they can only do it themselves.
"Wait! I found her. Bu Jinyu looked at a figure in the surveillance, paused the picture, and looked carefully: "It's her."
"From which exit?" Lou Xinglan leaned over and watched together.
They had talked to Li Daizhen before, and they had close contact, and they recognized her as soon as they saw her body shape and 90% similar face.
They watched her along the surveillance route until they got into a taxi, and then turned into a small road to go to the countryside.
"How so?" Bujin Yu was a little surprised: "Is she from Nanlin?"
"No, but she's definitely been here for a while." Lou Xinglan recalled Li Daizhen's information and made sure that she was not from Nanlin, and her ancestors had nothing to do with it for generations.
The only regret is that she turned into a small road, which is not equipped with surveillance, and it is said to be a relatively remote village and town.
"Let's go in tomorrow and have a look." Lou Xinglan wrote down the intersection and left with Bu Jinyu, and before leaving, he said to Cheng Jin, and asked for the phone number of the tour group by the way, they must find a tour guide.
The next day, Lou Xinglan and Bu Jinyu got into the tour guide's car, their purpose was to go to the intersection yesterday and go in to see where Li Daizhen was hiding.
In extraordinary times, they are reluctant to drive a police car, and if a case occurs, their private car will be requisitioned, which may not be enough.
"The town you're going to is very remote, basically there are no people, I don't know how it was divided into a town, and there are not as many people in it as there is a village." The tour guide was chatting with them while driving.
"No one is better." This saves them some time.
Bujin Yu got into the car fine, the more he walked back, the more dizzy he became, this kind of winding road is more dizzy than the winding mountain road, and there is still some gasoline smell on the car, which is simply painful.
"Are you dizzy?" Lou Xinglan hugged Bu Jinyu and looked at her worriedly, her face was really bad.
"Hmm." Bujin responded weakly, he really didn't want to speak, his stomach was tumbling, he wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"Let's stop for a moment." Lou Xinglan said to the tour guide.
"Okay, it's really a bit painful for ordinary people to come up on this kind of road." The tour guide watched the road and slowly pulled over to the side.
Lou Xinglan opened the car door and helped Bu Jinyu out of the car, the slightly fresher air made her feel better, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
