Chapter 207 Online Loans
With the opinions of the Research Office of the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Bureau, this case can be considered officially filed.
"Recall He Wei."
Lu Qingliang took out the phone. After a moment, a slightly low voice came out.
"Is there another case?"
"yes."
"Okay, let's meet at the headquarters in one day."
"good."
Lu Ming said: "I will also go back to the headquarters."
After exchanging a few words with Lin Shen and instructing him to continue preparations for the food stalls, Lu Ming officially ended his vacation and took a plane to the headquarters of the Planetary Security Bureau.
After waiting for a while, He Wei, who was slightly darker and thinner, hurriedly arrived.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's do an internal briefing first."
Different from the previous cases, this time the case was discovered by the second operation team on their own initiative, so the details of the case were already known before the formal handover.
Lu Ming told the story in detail and saw He Wei perked up.
"This case is good, not bad, not bad. This is normal."
"oh?"
Lu Ming was a little surprised and didn't quite understand what He Wei meant.
He Wei rolled her eyes at him: "Lu Ming, you don't think that the cases our operations department takes over are all the same as the three cases you were involved in before, and each one is so large in scale, right?"
Lu Ming scratched his head.
He did feel this way before.
The previous three cases, whether it was the Mountain God Case, the Haunted House Case, or the Prophecy Case, to some extent, all involved the life and death of the human world. They were cases with huge impact and broad implications.
He really thought that the action teams of the Operations Division usually dealt with cases like this. But now it seems not.
"What are you thinking about? Our earth, our human beings, can't stand such trouble. There are only a few cases like this. It's normal for cases like this one to be less involved."
Lu Qingliang nodded sympathetically: "My heart can't bear the constant torment."
Zhang Dingshan tapped the table lightly: "Don't be careless, don't relax. Don't underestimate any case until the investigation is clear. No one knows what will be involved in the investigation in the end."
Several people's expressions became a little more serious.
And indeed it is. For supernatural cases, there is often just a hint at the beginning, which is not eye-catching at all. But as the investigation deepens, extremely important things can often be involved.
Maybe it will be the same this time. Maybe on the surface it just seems that this man named Lin Shen is too unlucky and has been having bad luck, but there might be something behind it.
After looking at the time, Zhang Dingshan stood up.
"Let's go to Li Chuna."
Several people walked towards Li Wenhua's office together.
There are more action teams stationed at the headquarters recently. It seems that the world is peaceful recently and there are not many cases to investigate. Along the way, a few people met many people.
After seeing the four people, some people hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid them, pretending not to see them, but more people came forward to say hello enthusiastically.
"Hello, Captain Zhang."
"Lu Ming, are you back? I haven't seen you for a while."
"Hello, 伱hao."
From everyone's enthusiastic and slightly respectful attitude, Lu Ming could sense that his team's status in the minds of everyone in the investigation team had improved a lot compared to the past.
A feeling of being respected and valued arises spontaneously. This made Lu Ming slightly proud.
Of course, this was due to the fact that the Second Action Team had successfully upgraded from Class D to Class C, but Lu Ming knew that this was actually just the result. The most fundamental reason is that the second action team has successfully handled several cases in succession, truly demonstrating its own strength.
The influence of a team is built up bit by bit in this way.
Arriving at the door of Li Wenhua's office, they knocked on the door, and then the four of them walked in.
Compared with the past, Li Wenhua has not changed much at this moment, and he still looks calm and confident. There was still a portfolio on the desk in front of him.
"This case was discovered by your team on your own initiative. I won't introduce you to the details of the case. However, there is one thing you should pay attention to.
Don't take this case lightly. Don't discount a case just because it involves only one person and, on the face of it, seems to have a reasonable explanation. You must be cautious and rigorous. "
There is no difference in meaning between Li Wenhua's words and Zhang Dingshan's words before. But several people still responded respectfully at the same time.
"Go ahead."
Picking up the portfolio, several people turned and left.
meeting room.
"Let's discuss first how to proceed with this case."
Lu Ming said: "First of all, I think that for this case, we should first confirm whether there is any abnormality. Only after confirming this can we conduct subsequent investigations."
He Wei was a little surprised: "Didn't you confirm everything?"
"not enough."
Lu Ming shook his head: "The investigation I conducted before was too peripheral and was just my personal subjective judgment. Now that this matter has been officially filed, we can legitimately use the power of the Operations Division. We should conduct another formal confirmation. good."
"What ideas do you have?"
"Monitor Lin Shen 24/7, collect every incident in his daily life, and use this as a basis to build a data model and use statistical methods to calculate the 'luck' in his life Good or bad.”
In a normal person's day, many things happen. Eating, sleeping, bathing, going to the toilet, going downstairs to throw away garbage, shopping, meeting an acquaintance on the road, stopping to talk to them temporarily, etc., etc., can all be regarded as independent events.
Lu Ming's idea was to collect every incident in Lin Shen's daily life. After that, each event is scored according to the ratings of good, better, ordinary, worse, bad, or a more complex scoring mechanism.
In this way, through the statistics of a large number of events, a person's luck can be presented more intuitively through numbers.
"Obviously, for a group, based on the overall chaos and randomness, the final statistical average result should be neither good nor bad luck. The luck of most people will be relatively close to this average, and That is to say, ordinary people's luck will neither be too good nor too bad. We use this score as a benchmark, and then compare it with Lin Shen's personal score to see how far it deviates."
Compared with Lu Ming's subjective feelings and judgments when he got along with Lin Shen before, this method is undoubtedly much more rigorous.
"Of course, I know that even if the final result deviates seriously from the normal result, it does not 100% mean that Lin Shen's luck is abnormal. After all, for a group, there will always be a few individuals that seriously deviate from the average. But at least It can be regarded as a supporting evidence. Well, it can be regarded as a relatively strong supporting evidence."
"I agree."
Zhang Dingshan directly stated his attitude.
Lu Qingliang also said: "I agree too."
He Wei thought for a moment and then said: "In this case, Lu Ming, you should withdraw from Lin Shen's life."
Lu Ming was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
In order to ensure that the data collection is accurate enough, it must be presented truly without being affected. Putting it on Lin Shen is to allow him to interact with the huge chaotic system of the human world without any influence.
Only in this way can real data be presented.
But in this case, Lu Ming's existence would be out of place. Because Lu Ming knew what was going on behind the scenes, his behavior was not "random". This will seriously interfere with Lin Shen's normal life.
Lu Ming had no doubt about this. He was just worried about one thing.
For Lin Shen, whose life was full of gloom, his appearance during this period undoubtedly brought a touch of brilliance and hope to his life.
He is his only friend. He wants to start a business in partnership with him and run a seafood stall, which can be regarded as his hope in life.
Now, his sudden withdrawal will inevitably cause a certain blow to Lin Shen.
But now is not the time for womanly kindness. In order to find out the truth and fundamentally change Lin Shen's life, this decision must be made.
The only thing that can be changed is that maybe I can consider the specific way to withdraw, so as to hit him as little as possible.
"Okay. That's it. I, He Wei, and Lu Ming, the three of us are responsible for taking turns monitoring Lin Shen and collecting all the information about his daily life. Qing Liang, you find someone to build a model and conduct data analysis."
"yes."
"Let's leave now and go to Haiye City."
"yes."
In the car heading to the airport, Lu Ming thought for a long time before finally taking out his cell phone and dialing Lin Shen's number.
"Brother Lu, I just wanted to call you. Have you finished your work over there? On my side, I visited three more stores today and finally found one that I am satisfied with in all aspects. This store is in Coconut Tree On the other side of the avenue, it is only 200 meters away from the seaside. The quality of the beach nearby is also good, and there are many tourists. The rent is not expensive, only 15,000 yuan a month. The place is a bit small, but we are just starting out, so it doesn’t need to be too big... …”
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Shen's excited words reached the ears of Lu Ming and the others.
It was obvious that Lin Shen was very concerned about this matter.
For anyone whose life has hit rock bottom, if there is an opportunity to run their own business and turn their life around, I am afraid that no matter who it is, they will seize it.
Now, Lu Ming invests in opening a store and makes Lin Shen the store manager. For Lin Shen, this is such an opportunity.
This opportunity can even be described as a life-saving straw.
He Wei and Zhang Dingshan were both silent. Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Sometimes, telling others bad news really requires tremendous psychological pressure.
Lu Ming coughed slightly, interrupting Lin Shen's words.
"Ah Shen, listen to me, it's like this. I didn't tell you what I was doing when I went home because I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. But..."
Lu Ming's voice was full of heaviness.
He wasn't pretending. Because he knew what the words he was about to say meant to Lin Shen.
Opposite the microphone, Lin Shen listened quietly.
"My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. Treatment costs a lot of money. I'm afraid we won't be able to open our stall."
Lu Ming's grandfather passed away more than ten years ago.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Shen continued to remain silent.
After a pause for a few seconds, Lu Ming called out: "Ah Shen?"
"It's okay, Brother Lu, our elder's health is important. It doesn't matter whether our stall can be opened or not. How is Grandpa's health now?"
Lu Ming hardened his heart and continued to deceive Lin Shen: "I have contacted the doctor and are evaluating the surgical plan."
"Brother Lu, don't worry too much. Medical treatment is so advanced now that cancer can be cured. I heard that, yes, the five-year survival rate is quite high, isn't it? Brother Lu, you You should also pay attention to your health and don't worry too much. Brother Lu, do you have enough manpower over there? I don't have anything to do here. I'll go over and help you. I can run errands, stay up late at night and take care of grandpa. I can do it all. .”
"No, no, it's okay. My father, mother, uncle and aunt are all here. There are enough people. Ah Shen, just mind your own business."
"By the way, Brother Lu, I will pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will pay you back within a month at the latest."
Lu Ming shook his head: "It's okay Ah Shen, you have been busy with me for so long during this period, this money is considered as your salary, you don't have to pay it back."
"That won't work."
Lin Shen continued to insist: "Brother Lu, you have something to do with your family now. I can't help you much, but I must pay you back the money I owe you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming sighed.
He Wei said: "This Lin Shen has a pretty good character."
Lu Ming said: "He will probably find a way to pay me back. Will this...interfer with his normal life?"
Zhang Dingshan said: "The world is chaotic, and the development of things is also chaotic. As long as you no longer interfere with his subsequent life, it doesn't matter."
Lu Ming thought for a while and agreed with this statement.
In the future, it is better to have as little contact with Lin Shen as possible.
The plane took off with a roar and flew towards Haiye City. Three hours later, the plane landed.
Lu Ming picked up his phone and unexpectedly saw a transfer message from Lin Shen.
A total of 4,000 yuan.
After two salary advances, Lu Ming gave Lin Shen a total of 4,000 yuan. Now, he has given it all back.
Along with the transfer, there is a message.
"Brother Lu, I thought about it. You have something to do over there, so I better pay it back to you as soon as possible. I borrowed some money, and I will pay you back first, and then I will slowly pay back others' money."
Lu Ming showed the information to Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.
He Wei was surprised: "Does he have any friends who can borrow so much money?"
4,000 yuan is not much. But for Lin Shen, it was a lot of money.
Lu Ming shook his head: "As far as I know, no. I guess he borrowed an online loan."
"Online loans, tsk tsk..."
He Wei sighed.
Lu Ming thought for a while, accepted the money, and then replied with a few words.
"Thank you, Shen."
Zhang Dingshan said: "Let's go, first go to the local public security bureau and collect Lin Shen's information."
