Chapter 164 Bookmark
Finding someone is actually a very troublesome thing, especially when the missing person does not want to be found.
Bai Yanliang, who entered Ren Wudao's room, slowly looked around.
It can be seen that Ren Wudao is a very regular person.
Generally speaking, men's bedrooms are not neat and tidy to the point of meticulousness. Ren Wudao is obviously an exception, and Bai Yanliang is also an exception.
If there is anything that looks messy in Ren Wudao's room, it's probably that place...
Bai Yanliang turned his eyes to the bookshelves, medicine, psychology, traces, geography, suspense, science fiction magazines, ancient classics... Ren Wudao's interests were very wide.
But it was probably the one he read recently.
Bai Yanliang pulled out the book from the bookshelf that was just a little bit full.
The title of the book is "Consciousness Explained".
Coincidentally, Bai Yanliang happened to have read this book as well.
This is a philosophical work by a cognitive scientist, involving psychology, neurology, computer science and philosophy. The title of the book mainly discusses the issue clearly stated - consciousness.
The reason why Bai Yanliang was interested in this book was, firstly, because he was a bit bored in the mental hospital, and secondly, because... he was very interested in a certain point of view of the author.
The book "Explanation of Consciousness" is obviously different from traditional phenomenology. One of the most interesting points for Bai Yanliang is that traditional phenomenology adopts the first person, that is, the perspective of "I" to study "things themselves". Research analysis.
"Explanation of Consciousness" takes this concept to a higher level and uses the perspective of "our".
The author mentioned that in the process of studying consciousness, we cannot just stay in the "third person", but start from the third person and obtain the truth about the first person in a roundabout way.
Some phenomena can be summarized, and the author divides these phenomena into three categories.
The first category is the experience of the external world, such as sight, sound, smell, touch, etc.
The second category is the experience of the inner world, such as fantasy, dreams, etc.
The third category is the one that Bai Yanliang is most interested in.
It is the experience of emotions and feelings, such as physical pain, itching, hunger and thirst, as well as human emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, etc.
Bai Yanliang wanted to find the root cause of his abnormal mood, so he came into contact with such philosophical books that he was not too interested in. He did not expect that Ren Wudao would be interested in it.
Moreover, after turning the pages of the book, there are footnotes left in many places. The handwriting is smart and elegant. It was written by Ren Wudao himself. It can be seen that he was serious when reading.
"Has Ren Wudao always been interested in philosophy books?" Bai Yanliang turned around and asked.
Yu Sheng shook his head and looked at the book in Bai Yanliang's hand, "My brother once said that philosophy is the stupidest and most profound subject in the world. Geniuses will turn into madmen after long-term exposure. He has always regarded philosophy books as fantasy. .”
My hobby is really unique...
Bai Yanliang turned around and closed the book.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that there was a place in the book that was not completely closed.
After opening it again, he discovered the reason.
There was a very thin bookmark sandwiched between that page.
Bai Yanliang picked up the bookmark and looked at it carefully. This bookmark was very new. It was completely transparent and only as long as a little finger, but its workmanship was quite exquisite.
After thinking about it, Bai Yanliang did a very dishonorable thing.
Dig through trash cans.
Although digging through garbage is a dirty and tiring job, it is very useful.
Yu Sheng wanted to help, but Bai Yanliang stopped him. He wore plastic gloves and took out everything inside.
In fact, this is not the case. Ren Wudao's trash can is probably cleaner than most people's desktops. Except for some scraps of paper and packaging bags, there is nothing extra at all. But what Bai Yanliang was looking for was packaging bags.
“There shouldn’t be many places selling this thing.”
Bai Yanliang held the transparent package of the bookmark in his hand. There were four small words printed on the corner of the package: Mercury Night.
It is quite troublesome to name a small transparent bookmark called Mercury Night.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly, this... didn't look like Ren Wudao's style.
He hated such flashy things. Based on Yu Sheng's understanding of Ren Wudao, if he really wanted to buy a bookmark, he would definitely buy the most traditional and practical one.
Rather than this thing that is full of chuuniu aura.
Bai Yanliang was relatively calm. He picked up his phone and called Gao Fei.
"Do me a favor."
"Okay! What's the matter?" Gao Fei's voice was a bit sly, more like gossip.
When he saw Bai Yanliang and Yu Sheng leaving together, if the boy hadn't covered his mouth, he would have laughed out loud. He really couldn't imagine Bai Yanliang dating a woman.
"Check out a bookmark called Mercury Night. Where is it produced and where can it be sold?"
"Ah?" Gao Fei was startled, "Brother Bai, are you kidding me? How are you going to investigate this? I'm a forensic doctor, not an Internet police officer... And that Mercury Night sounds like a nightclub... ”
"Mercury Night?"
Bai Yanliang clearly heard another man's voice coming from beside Gao Fei, it was He Yige.
Gao Fei was also stunned. He looked at He Yige in confusion: "Have you heard of it?"
He Yige, who had just walked out of the courtyard, smiled: "It's just a coincidence. It's a bar. I went there with my friends for a couple of drinks."
"Oh..." Gao Fei was a little disappointed, "It's a bar. The Mercury Night we're talking about is the name of a bookmark."
"Hahaha." He Yige laughed loudly, "That's even more correct. That bookmark is a gift from Mercury Night and is not sold to the outside world."
Bai Yanliang, who had been listening to the conversation between the two on the other end of the phone, also laughed. What a coincidence.
"Gao Fei, give your phone to Mr. He."
Gao Fei glanced at He Yige and handed over the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Bai."
"Hello, Mr. He, I won't be polite. If possible, could you please take us to that mercury night?"
He Yige was a little surprised. He thought about it in silence and finally agreed.
"No problem, then...where should I find you? Mr. Bai?"
"Just wait for me at home, I'll pick you up..."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yanliang smiled and said to Yu Sheng, "You're lucky."
It was difficult for Yu Sheng to laugh. Although Bai Yanliang found the clue as soon as he arrived, this clue made Yu Sheng's inner uneasiness more and more intense.
Because Ren Wudao is not a person who goes to bars at all.
Even if it was a relatively quiet bar with light music, he probably wouldn't go there, because... he doesn't drink at all.
Ren Wudao before his disappearance always made Yu Sheng feel that he was a little... unlike himself.
