Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 286

Facing the security guard's question, Lu Ming said patiently, "I contacted Assistant Wang yesterday, and he asked me to come here today. My surname is Lu."

The security guard picked up the walkie-talkie and asked a few words, and then said apologetically after a while: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I just contacted Assistant Wang, and he told me that something unexpected happened today, and the master will hold a temporary meeting for another person. The sacrificial ceremony is estimated to take half a month to end. It is not convenient for the master to meet outsiders during this period. Assistant Wang, please come back in half a month."

Each of these masters is getting bigger and bigger.In the past few days, Lu Ming has been taught several times.But the one with the biggest pretensions must be the master surnamed Shu at the moment.

The original appointment was postponed for half a month casually.

Half a month?The day lily is cold.

Lu Ming lowered his face, took out his phone, and called Assistant Wang again.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, I really can't help it. One of the master's friends has encountered some troubles. The master really can't go away. If your matter is not too urgent, can you wait? Or... If it is really It's urgent, why don't you go to the master's younger brother? Master Li is also very powerful, and he can definitely solve your problem..."

During the phone call, Assistant Wang made a series of apologies, with a very respectful attitude.

Lu Ming said a few perfunctory words, knowing that he probably won't see this master today, so he hung up the phone.

Anyway, it's not necessary to see.Without this master, there are others.If you can't see it, then you won't see it.

He started the car, reversed the car, and was about to leave when something suddenly occurred to him.

Before the visit, the Operation Office had already collected some information about these masters.According to the data, although Shu Changshan sometimes held some ceremonies for clients, but never for half a month.Besides, even if it is really going to be held for half a month, is it true that there is really no time for this half month?

He suspected that Shu Changshan was not unable to see him because of something, but because he didn't want to see him at all, so he just made up an excuse.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming decided to try again.He took out the phone again, connected it, and said to Assistant Wang: "Can you talk to Master Shu for a little more accommodation? I really have an urgent matter here, and I can't delay it. I must see Master Shu to solve it. "

In the microphone, Assistant Wang's voice was full of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I really can't leave, Master. Other masters can also help you solve the problem. Don't worry, I can help you contact Master Li. The cost is also reasonable. You can get a little discount."

Assistant Wang was still full of evasion.Lu Ming thought for a while, and said directly: "Let's do this. The originally negotiated fee starts at [-] yuan. Depending on the size of the matter, the difficulty of solving it increases. I will directly increase the cost by ten times. Is it okay? The matter is too important, except for Master Shu, I can't trust anything else..."

Shu Changshan's market price here is [-].Lu Ming had already inquired about this point clearly.Now, Lu Ming has directly doubled it ten times. If Shu Changshan still evades, it will be more suspicious.

Because Lu Ming knew that what Assistant Wang said about Shu Changshan's so-called friends were actually just clients.And Shu Changshan also values ​​money more.

Now, 100 million Renminbi is here, as long as you spare some time to meet with him, you can get it. What reason does Shu Changshan have to refuse?
If you refuse even this, it can only be a deliberate refusal.

However, thinking about it one more level, what is the reason why Shu Changshan deliberately refused to see him?Could it be that through some kind of mysterious means that he still can't understand, and even belongs to Cthulhu's worldview, he realized in advance the specialness of himself, or the case of the magic eye?

If this is the case, I must see him even more.

In the microphone, Assistant Wang fell silent.After a while, he said: "It seems that Mr. Lu, your place is really urgent... It's rare that you trust Master Shu so much. In this case, I will ask Master Shu for instructions and see if Master can spare some time to see you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming waited for a few minutes before the phone rang again.

"Mr. Lu, I just asked the master for instructions. The master said that everyone has a heart of compassion. The master can't bear to see you so anxious, so he overcame all difficulties and paid a heavy price. He temporarily stopped the ceremony and took a little time. Please come to hall three, the master will meet you here."

Lu Ming sneered in his heart.

What kind of compassion is it just because of the money here.

Now that he could see Shu Changshan, Lu Ming had no interest in it.

It seems that this Shu Changshan really didn't refuse to meet him on purpose, it was really because he couldn't get away because of other things.And since this is the case, the possibility of "weirdness" in this person is very small.

But things have come to this point, it doesn't hurt to meet.Lu Ming drove directly into the mansion.

Lu Ming found out that there is really something hidden inside this mansion.There are not only flower gardens, lawns, pavilions and pavilions, but also an artificial lake, which looks like some clubs.

It seems that this master surnamed Shu is not generally influential, nor is he generally rich.

When we came to Hall No. [-], a young man who looked very energetic greeted us, full of enthusiasm: "Mr. Lu, hello, I am the one who contacted you yesterday, my surname is Wang, and I am the assistant of the master. Please follow me, the master is waiting for you inside."

Following Assistant Wang to the reception room, Lu Ming saw a middle-aged man with a square face and a calm and majestic temperament sitting there.He was wearing a white robe, cloth shoes on his feet, without any accessories, and he looked like a priest.

"Hello, Master."

"Mr. Lu, please sit down. I'm really sorry, something happened to my friend... Where are you from, Mr. Lu?"

Unexpectedly, Shu Changshan didn't directly ask Lu Ming what he wanted, but chatted with him instead.

He first asked where Lu Ming was from and what industry he was in.After Lu Ming said that he was engaged in the real estate industry, and his family had developed several real estate projects, and he followed them around, he began to chat about the real estate industry.

Lu Ming chatted with him calmly, but gradually began to feel bored in his heart.

If you were an ordinary person, you would probably feel that Shu Changshan is approachable, well-informed, in a high position, possessing unique knowledge but not arrogant, and you will have a good impression of him and trust him more.

But Lu Ming, who had received professional training, noticed that Shu Changshan was just "turning the road" at the moment.That is, through conversation and observation, confirm the family background, wealth, personal personality and other information of the conversation object.

With this information, we can prepare for the next offer.

"Next, Master Shu should start the process of self-promotion, right?"

Lu Ming thought this way in his heart, and sure enough, during the chat, Shu Changshan gradually began to talk about who he had dealt with, who he had solved troubles for famous people, how powerful he was and so on.

Raising one's own social status can make help-seekers more willing to donate more money.

These are routine procedures.Of course it is useful for ordinary people, but it is completely ineffective for Lu Ming.

After chatting for a long time, the topic gradually returned to Lu Ming.Lu Ming randomly made up something like "I saw a certain ghost in a certain place at a certain time at a certain time, and then my luck has been bad", and used it as a reason to visit Shu Changshan.

He no longer intends to reveal the matter of the "magic eye" at this moment.

After hearing the reason of the matter, Shu Changshan seemed to relax a little more, and he was quite confident in his speech, as if it was a trivial matter.

"Mr. Lu, do you know that everything in the world is not isolated, and they are all connected to each other. The ghost you saw there is actually just the appearance of things, and it is an external manifestation. Just like you saw water It is boiling, but the fire that is constantly burning under the kettle is the root cause. Only solving the appearance is nothing more than raising the soup to stop the boiling, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to completely solve the problem, you still have to treat the root cause..."

Shu Changshan's cloudy rhetoric almost blinded Lu Ming's head.

He felt that he couldn't sit still anymore, and felt that today's visit was a waste of effort and no gain at all.

The name Shu Changshan had already been unknowingly crossed off the candidate list by him.

At this moment, he has even started to think about how to interrupt the topic and leave here.After all, it would be impolite to walk away.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that Shu Changshan's sitting posture seemed a little weird.

Lu Ming didn't know what caused the strange feeling in his heart, it was just an instinctive judgment after long training.After realizing this, he immediately began to carefully observe Shu Changshan's sitting posture.

After a while, he realized that it seemed... Shu Changshan's body had been in a tense state.This tense state caused his sitting posture to be slightly different from when he was relaxed.

This gesture is very concealed, and Shu Changshan obviously conceals it very well.Ordinary people don't notice it at all.Even Lu Ming noticed it by accident.

However, tightness in the body means that the person is in a state of tension.However, at this moment in his own home court, what reason does he have to be nervous?
Lu Ming's eyes gradually became sharper.He inadvertently exchanged a glance with Shu Changshan, and he was keenly aware that Shu Changshan's pupils contracted imperceptibly for a moment.Although it returned to normal in an instant, it was still captured by Lu Ming.

Lu Ming suddenly coughed hard, loudly.Then, he noticed that Shu Changshan's body trembled imperceptibly.

This trembling was very slight.Even, Shu Changshan's speech speed, intonation, expression, etc., did not change at all.

But at this moment, Lu Ming can be sure that there must be something abnormal about this Shu Changshan.

Facing himself, why is he nervous?

Recalling the doubts in his heart before, an idea gradually emerged in Lu Ming's heart.

Is it possible... At this moment, Shu Changshan, who is going around first, and then raising his own status, bragging about himself, and creating his own "outsider expert" persona in order to get more money, is no different from ordinary magic sticks in everything, Are you still pretending?

In the face of ordinary people, the performance of this kind of ordinary magic stick has a high probability of promoting ordinary people's trust in themselves and ultimately facilitating transactions.But in the face of himself who has received professional training and can easily see through the performance of ordinary magic sticks, this kind of performance can only make him despise him in his heart, and thus think that he is an unlearned and incompetent magic stick with no real skills at all .

Could this be his real purpose?Did he realize that he was not an ordinary person early on, so he acted like this, and the real purpose was to hope that after seeing through his disguise, he would voluntarily give up entanglement with him?

He doesn't want to take his own business, and he doesn't even want to contact him?But, if that's the case, why didn't he refuse openly?

A simple and straightforward rejection is fine, why bother?
No, you cannot refuse directly.Lu Ming immediately figured this out.

A simple and straightforward refusal needs a suitable reason.If you directly reject yourself without a suitable reason, you will only make yourself think that he knows something, and will insist on contacting him even more.

And, he has actually rejected himself in the face.

At the very beginning, he told himself through Assistant Wang that he would hold a ceremony for half a month.

This is already a clear rejection.After all, according to common sense, it is impossible for me to wait for half a month.

However, after he proposed ten times the price, if he refused again, it would be too deliberate and too blunt, which would cause him to notice something.He had no choice but to touch himself.

After the real contact at this moment, he tried to disguise himself as an ordinary magic stick to try to make himself give up contact with him, but because of some flaws in the details, he exposed his true inner thoughts.

Lu Ming gradually sorted out such a set of logic.

If this set of logic is true, if Shu Changshan has been "rejecting" himself in every possible way, it is still the original judgment, he must know something!
Lu Ming's eyes sharpened again.He didn't intend to continue to pretend to be a snake any longer.

He stood up directly and looked down at Shu Changshan.Shu Changshan was a little stunned, stopped talking, and looked up at him.

"Master Shu, are you unwilling to accept my business?"

Shu Changshan looked at him strangely: "Why did Mr. Lu say that?"

After Shu Changshan's surprised eyes, Lu Ming saw a flash of panic.He became more and more certain in his heart.

Lu Ming took out his ID and handed it to Shu Changshan.Looking at the three large characters of the Ministry of Public Security above, Shu Changshan was silent.

"There's no need to pretend in front of me. Master Shu, tell me, why don't you want to see me, why don't you want to accept my business? What do you know?"

Shu Changshan smiled wryly, and lay down on the back of the sofa.

"After all, there is no escape."

He sighed.
