Chapter 13: Dong Chenghai's Meditation

CHAPTER XIII

"Brother Dong, Zhou Xiaobo guessed right, Sima Yuanying's roommate really knew Sima Yuanying's address outside the school, which was in Room 1709, Unit 2, Building 27, Blue Moon Community. Not far from Mingchuan University, Kobayashi and I plan to go over now and ask for the contact information of the property owner. Are you coming? Not long after Dong Chenghai finished chatting with Lu Ming, Ouyang Yunxi called him and reported that he and Xiaolin had asked Sima Yuanying's specific address in the Blue Moon Community from Sima Yuanying's roommate.

"Good. I won't go, you can just go with Xiaolin. ”

For some reason, Dong Chenghai's mood was inexplicably low after chatting with Lu Ming. From the perspective of ordinary people, whether it is Sima Yuanying or Lu Ming, they all give people too negative feelings in their attitudes towards society and interpersonal relationships. It can be inferred from common sense that a person's negative attitude towards society is often because he is depressed or encounters too many setbacks in the process of growing up, so he faces the society in an avoidant way and complains about the society in an extreme way.

But Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming are not like this, take Sima Yuanying as an example, he has been living on a university campus with almost no social pressure, excellent academic performance, is liked by teachers, and has a good family environment.

High-achieving students are not uncommon for Dong Chenghai, the eldest son of his uncle's family is a doctoral student majoring in bioengineering at Kyoto University, and he can barely be regarded as a high-achieving student at the police university when his children go to school. Whether it is the eldest son of his uncle's family or himself, they are different from Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming, they work hard to get along with teachers and classmates when they are in school, and it is a very happy thing to get the affirmation of teachers and the trust of classmates. After graduation, they are diligent and enterprising in their respective positions, and actively integrate into society, although sometimes they will be very tired, they will encounter a lot of unpleasant things, and sometimes they will wronged themselves and do some things that they are not willing to do against their will, but on the whole, it is okay, at least they live well. He has always thought that whether it is a college student or a young person who has entered the society too early, no matter what they are engaged in, the ultimate goal is not to provide a comfortable environment and conditions for their future life through their efforts when they were young?

Dong Chenghai suddenly realized that the passivity of Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming was not the passivity that people usually understand. The passivity that is generally understood is an attitude that obviously cares a lot but tries to pretend not to care, while Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming treat this society with an attitude that they don't care at all. Because they don't care about this society at all, they don't care about what role they play in this society, and they don't care what kind of way this society surrounds them; Because they don't care about this society at all, they don't pay attention to the people in this society, and they don't care what people in this society will say about them; Because they don't care about society at all, they don't think about the rules and regulations of society when they decide what they do and what they don't do, and they don't care what what they do means to society as a whole.

It's just that those who don't care that society sees only themselves are not all extremely selfish egoists? Aren't these people usually going to any trouble to get what they want? Dong Chenghai shook his head, extremely selfish egoists do not reject society, on the contrary, they will actively integrate into this society, because they want something from this society, such as fame, wealth, power, etc.

Dong Chenghai stood up and walked to the window, it was the rush hour after work, he looked at the traffic jam on the road outside the window, and he could hear the horns one after another through the glass. Dong Chenghai looked away and looked at the office building opposite Zhongshan Street, and he saw a room on the 5th floor of the office building opposite, where a middle-aged man who looked like the CEO of a company was looking at the sky with a telescope in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind: If Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming didn't care about this society, it was because they didn't plan to get anything from this society at all? Yes, you have to ask for nothing to really be completely indifferent. It's just that is it possible for a person to live without asking for anything? No, it's not that they want nothing, it's just that what they want is philosophy, to live in Zhou Xiaobo's words, to know the world independently, and this thing is something that society can't give. Since they can't give anyone what they want except themselves, then they naturally don't care about the world, for them, in addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, and living healthily, what else does this society need them to fight for?

What kind of person would intend to devote his life to those intangible things? Wouldn't life not for fame, profit, or even pleasure be boring? And what kind of power does it rely on?

Dong Chenghai smiled self-deprecatingly, he realized that the reason why the question he was wondering about just now became a problem was because he measured the values of Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming by the logic or values of normal people, or even by his own logic or values. Only by starting from the values of ordinary people in society or his values, the life of not for fame, profit, and pleasure will be boring and need motivation, because their values themselves already imply the need for fame, fortune, and pleasure. How can a life without a need for fame, fortune and pleasure feel boring and need motivation?!

"Self-contained", he suddenly recalled what his grandfather said when he was playing chess with him last year because of a case that had not been solved for a long time, when he was under high pressure at work, and when he was depressed and irritable. Now that I think about it, being at ease is to live a real life, and the so-called living real is nothing more than knowing what you want, and then persevering for a long time, not caring about other colorful things in this society.

He was very envious of Sima Yuanying and Lu Ming for being able to know clearly what they wanted at such a young age, and he also admired that they had the courage to truly see only what he wanted in his eyes, and nothing else. Perhaps this is the charm of philosophy, philosophy never teaches people to be human beings, philosophy teaches how to be oneself. As a philosopher, he was proud of his understanding of philosophy.

Dong Chenghai remembered a sentence on the desktop with a blank background when he looked at Sima Yuanying's mobile phone in the afternoon: There are two things, the deeper and more lasting I think about them, the more the wonder and awe they evoke in my heart will change with each passing day and grow, that is, the starry sky above my head and the moral law in my heart.

He didn't know if this sentence was said by Sima Yuanying, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence when he first saw it, and he didn't think about it, but now he feels that the meaning of this sentence is much clearer, and at the same time, he feels that no matter whether this sentence was said by Sima Yuanying or not, this sentence has a deep impact on Sima Yuanying.

"Please come in." Dong Chenghai continued to think, and a knock on the door from outside the office interrupted his thoughts and pulled him back to reality.

"Captain Dong, haven't you gotten off work yet?" The person who came was Xiao Liu from the technical department.

"Haven't you gotten off work yet? What working hours do criminal police officers have, and when there is a case, they work all day. Dong Chenghai seemed to be comforting himself and complaining.

"I'm getting ready to get off work, I'll report to you, and I'll go home after the report."

"It's still easy for you guys."

"We extracted the residue on the toothbrush from Sima Yuanying's toothbrush that you sent earlier, and found DNA information in the residue, and after we repeatedly compared and firmed, we can confirm that it is consistent with the DNA of the deceased." Xiao Liu didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then said things directly.

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Liu, hurry up and get off work. ”

Dong Chenghai didn't say much.

Regarding the corpse on the Huangshi beach with a highly disfigured face and destroyed fingerprint information, Dong Chenghai is now almost sure in his heart that the deceased is Sima Yuanying, and now there is no evidence of the identification results of Sima Yuanying's parents.
