Lu Ming believes that both religion and science are just a means for human beings to try to understand and control the nature of the universe.

When ancient humans saw lightning and thunderstorms, earthquakes and tsunamis, because they lacked sufficient knowledge, they only regarded them as gods to get angry, as giant tortoises turned over, and as big fish to stir up wind and waves.

It is also a means of understanding and understanding nature.

Of course, in today's advanced science, this kind of cognitive means has been reduced to a trick of witches and gods to deceive.

But in terms of the underlying cognitive logic, there is not much difference between religion and science.

The difference between the two is that science focuses on a whole set of thinking methods. Through practice, observation, experiment, etc., a certain law is summarized and generalized.

Therefore, Lu Ming believes that although his own decision-making at this moment seems to be similar to that of the witch and the god, it is actually different at all.

Witches and gods will classify a certain behavior as causing abnormal luck as angering the gods and spirits to take revenge, and if they adopt scientific thinking, they will explore the connection between the two, summarize the laws between them, and study the cause and effect relationship between the two within the framework of science.

He Wei said stupidly: "I still feel no different from the witch and the god." ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Then you should regard this investigation as a counter-evidence." ”

What the counter-evidence is, of course, several people know.

Lu Qingliang also said: "Yes, although our current investigation is looking for some means or methods that can affect luck, if we can't find it in the end, then in turn, won't it prove that luck really can't be affected by certain means?" ”

He Wei was thoughtful.

Lu Ming also knew in his heart that it was indeed too nonsense for He Wei to say that "there is a certain factor that can affect luck". At the same time, the available evidence could not 100% prove that Lin Shen's luck was really abnormal.

If you really fail to find anything that can be proven through the investigation that caused Lin Shen's luck to deteriorate, then you can only end this investigation, give the conclusion that Lin Shen's luck is not abnormal, and then end it.

How things will play out in the future, everything is still unknown.

The overall idea of the investigation was determined, and the follow-up stage entered the specific arrangement stage.

Zhang Dingshan said: "He Wei and I went to investigate and sort out Lin Shen's life and past, and to screen out possible abnormal events. Lu Ming, if you say so, let's continue to prepare that seafood stall with Lin Shen. ”

Lu Ming nodded slowly.

At this moment, the preliminary confirmation phase has ended. In the future, there is no longer any need to worry about Lu Ming's joining, which will affect Lin Shen's "luck value".

If Lu Ming continues to appear in Lin Shen's life, he can get along for a long time and Lu Ming's intentional guidance to get many clues from Lin Shen to provide assistance for the follow-up investigation.

He Wei frowned and said, "Maybe you don't need to be so troublesome." Directly controlled Lin Shen for the time being, and asked carefully. ”

There is no doubt that this method is more crisp and convenient.

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "There are some things, it's better not to let him know." ”

"It's fine."

In this regard, He Wei has nothing to do.

Lu Ming took out his mobile phone, and after a month, he dialed Lin Shen's phone again.

During this month, Lin Shen also left messages or called Lu Ming several times, asking about Lu Ming's grandfather's condition, and repeatedly asked to come over for help. But in order not to affect Lin Shen's life, Lu Ming refused every time he said a word, and there was not much communication.

After a few times, Lin Shen never called or left a message again. Perhaps he also realized that he and Lu Ming were people of two worlds after all, and the "fate" between the two had ended.

This time, after receiving Lu Ming's call, Lin Shen seemed very happy.

Lin Shen's phone was full of rumors, and according to the time, he should be on his way to deliver food.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong? How's Grandpa's illness? ”

Lu Ming smiled and let his voice relax: "The operation has been completed, and the doctor said that it was very successful." Originally, the doctor said that he would need surgery two or three times, but now he can do it in one time. ”

"Great, Brother Lu, congratulations."

"Ah Shen, that's the case, grandpa's illness is almost cured now, and it will be slowly recuperated later. The money I had prepared didn't go to waste. I thought, why don't we continue to dry the seafood shop? ”

"Okay."

Lin Shen was very happy.

"Okay, I'll go to Haiye City tomorrow, and we'll meet and talk about it in detail."

Ending the call with Lin Shen, Zhang Dingshan said: "At this stage, first collect Lin Shen's detailed information. Let's split up. ”

"Yes."

The next day, Lu Ming met Lin Shen again. At this moment, Lin Shen has quit his job as a delivery boy. After a brief communication, the two once again embarked on the preparations for the seafood stall.

In this process, Lu Ming did not deliberately accelerate or slow down. Everything went naturally, and I really thought of myself as an entrepreneur who was preparing to open a store.

He discussed with Lin Shen very carefully the details of the store's location, category, business strategy, store layout and other details, and ran around with Lin Shen.

Of course, among them, Lu Ming also did some work. Under his guidance, in addition to the opening of the store, the topic of the two often unconsciously touched on some things in the past. In this case, many details were unconsciously revealed.

Lu Ming recorded these things one by one, and then added them to the life experience database specially established for Lin Shen.

In this case, after almost a week of preparation, the store was finally rented. After a few more days, the waiters, cooks, side dishes and other employees were also recruited. As a result, the "Ah Ming Seafood Food Stall" finally opened in the early morning of one day.

Before the opening, Lu Ming had already made it clear that he had a lot of things to do and might not be able to stay in the store for a long time. When Lu Ming was away, everything in the store was handed over to Lin Shen to deal with.

He is both the store manager, the cashier, and the purchasing. Lu Ming is the shopkeeper.

In the evening, Lin Shen also lived in the store, and Lu Ming went back to the hotel to stay, so as to facilitate contact with Zhang Dingshan and a few people. Of course, here in Lin Shen, he claimed to have rented a house.

For Lu Ming's trust, Lin Shen has the urge to die as a confidant. During this time, his spirits were also much more excited. Although it is still as unlucky as ever, the mood has been high.

When the new store opened, the business was not booming, but it was okay, and I could see the profits coming in every day. As a result, "life" is temporarily on the right track.

On this day, I stayed in the store for a while during the day, and suddenly received news from He Wei. After Lu Ming said something to Lin Shen, he hurriedly left the store and returned to the hotel.

Landing in the video conference room, the trio is already waiting in it.

"At present, in Lin Shen's life experience, we have confirmed several things worth paying attention to."

"Now it can almost be confirmed that Lin Shen's 'bad luck' is innate. If there is an anomaly in his luck, then this anomaly has been present since he was born. In other words, the appearance of his bad luck has nothing to do with himself.

From this, we turn our attention to his parents and loved ones. Among them, special attention is paid to his immediate family, that is, his grandparents, grandparents, and parents.

These six people, in Lin Shen's growth process, are the closest to him in terms of blood relationship and daily life.

They are all dead now. His grandfather died of cancer when he was seven years old. His grandmother died of a heart attack when he was eight years old. His grandfather died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and his grandmother died of cancer a year before his parents died.

His parents died in an accident when he was 18 years old.

Among these few things worth paying attention to, the first is his grandfather.

His grandfather, Lin Deen, in Lin Shen's hometown, once served as a god and other roles. When Lin Deen was 46 years old, he went into the mountains to hunt, but accidentally fell off a cliff and was in a coma there for more than six hours before being found and rescued by passers-by. After returning home, I was in a coma for more than a day before waking up.

Later, when Lin Deen woke up, he claimed to have seen a certain god, and from then on he lived by fortune telling, word measurement, feng shui, etc., until his death.

If Lin Shen's luck really had some kind of abnormality, then it might be related to his grandfather's experience. ”

There is such a thing as an abnormality in luck, anyway, it is already so mysterious, and if you want to find the cause of this phenomenon, you might as well find it from the perspective of fantasy, which can be regarded as fighting poison with poison.

Lin Shen's grandfather Lin Deen's experience is enough fantasy.

At this stage, we are still in the stage of looking for clues in a haystack. Some clues, even if they seem ridiculous, are worth verifying.

"The second thing is Lin Shen's grandmother. Lin Shen's grandparents have a son and a daughter, one daughter is Lin Shen's mother, and the other son is Lin Shen's uncle. Now, Lin Shen's mother Zhao Lifang has passed away, and his uncle Zhao Baomin is still alive.

Zhao Baomin is 47 years old this year. This person is idle, stealing, has no proper job, likes to drink and play cards, and has a tendency to domestic violence. His wife could not stand the beating and had left home with her children, and her whereabouts are currently unknown.

Villagers rumored that the Zhao family's daughter died unexpectedly and his son was idle, all because of the bad feng shui of Lin Shen's grandmother's grave. We investigated the source of this rumor, and there are probably two reasons for this.

The first is that the local custom is that after the death of the parents in the family, they are buried in the farmland of the family. The Zhao family has four plots of cultivated land, three of which are large plots, ranging from one to three acres each, and the other is a small plot, only 0.2 acres. In order to ensure the value of the three large pieces of cultivated land, Zhao Baomin insisted on burying his mother in that small piece of land. Because he has a mixed temperament, no one dares to dissuade him.

And, Lin Shen's grandfather Lin Deen secretly said in private that the feng shui of this cemetery is not good, and I am afraid that it will hinder future generations. Later, Zhao Lifang died unexpectedly, Zhao Baomin's wife ran away, and this statement gradually spread.

The second is that some villagers passed by the Zhao family's cemetery at night and once heard the voice of an old lady. The old lady cried and scolded her son for being unfilial, and buried herself in this poor place of mountains and rivers, and let herself suffer a lot. The villager flashed a flashlight and saw a figure wearing a shroud. He was startled, looked over again, but couldn't see it again.

He hurried back home, after which he fell ill. His parents asked, and he told him about it.

The combination of the two things, the fact that the feng shui of the old lady of the Zhao family's graveyard is not good is almost a real hammer. But this Zhao Baomin is a bastard, and he doesn't care when he hears about it, and he still goes his own way.

We suspect that Lin Shen's bad luck may also have something to do with the feng shui of his grandmother's grave. ”

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

From a folklore point of view, it's not impossible. After all, when a daughter dies unexpectedly, a son is idle, and a grandson is riddled with bad luck, people will subconsciously think of the root of the problem in the feng shui of the elder's cemetery.

But Lu Ming immediately realized something.

"It's a little wrong. Lin Shen's parents, Zhao Lifang and Lin Shiquan, weren't they quite rich at the beginning? Why don't you care about the affairs of your brother-in-law's family? ”

As a daughter and son-in-law, brother-in-law messing around, even if the elders in the family die, they are still not at peace, from the perspective of normal people, they should come forward to take care of this matter no matter what.

"Zhao Lifang and Zhao Baomin have long broken off their relationship. Not only that, Zhao Lifang and his parents have broken off their relationship, how can they care about this kind of thing anymore. The reasons for severing the relationship are nothing more than those reasons.

This Zhao Baomin saw that his sister and brother-in-law were rich, so he wanted to suck blood from his sister's family, and he wanted to borrow money at every turn, often tens of thousands, and even wanted his sister and brother-in-law to pay for a house and a car for himself, and then pay for his own business.

How Zhao Lifang was willing to work offended Zhao Baomin. Lin Shen's grandparents are also Hutu, and when they saw that their daughter refused to help her younger brother, they came forward to force her, but Zhao Lifang still refused to retreat, so she broke off the relationship. The old lady of the Zhao family did not come back when she died. ”

Lu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "So, there is no contact between Lin Shen and Zhao Baomin's uncle?" ”

"Of course. The two have not been in touch for more than ten years, and they have long been strangers. ”

"The third thing, the information shows that Zhao Lifang and Lin Shiquan, husband and wife, encountered bad weather when they went to sea, capsized, fell into the sea and drowned.

Ostensibly, he died in an accident, but after our initial investigation, we suspected that it was not an accident, but a suicide. ”

"Suicide? When Lin Shen was eighteen years old, the Lin family didn't seem to have any trouble to the point of committing suicide. Isn't the career of the two going well? ”

He Wei clicked on the document in front of him and said solemnly: "That's the problem."

We don't yet have clear evidence that it was a suicide, but there are many indications that point to the possibility. ”
