Lu Jian came to Jiangcheng City Library again. In the eyes of the young librarian, Lu Jian was probably a very studious, young and promising young man.
He was carrying a backpack, which contained some books to pass the time, a power bank, self-heating rice, water, snacks, drinks, a flashlight, first aid supplies, etc.
This time Lu Tan found news newspapers from more than 20 years ago.
At that time, the Internet was not developed, and many things were not remembered online. However, copies of newspapers officially published every year were kept in the city library, and you only needed to apply for registration to read them.
Lu Tan searched for almost an hour and found only scattered information about Jiangcheng Grand Theater.
Including transfer statements and related reports, fire reports, news about previous plays that were well received, etc.
Lu Tan was not a famous detective who could solve crimes while sitting in an easy chair, and these clues were just old news to him.
He only noticed that in reports related to Jiangcheng Grand Theater, the name of a pianist named Du Danping was often mentioned.
Among them, in 1997, Jiangcheng Evening News had a character column about him.
[... Du Danping was born in a musical family. He has been influenced by music since he was a child. He has been influenced by his ears and eyes and has an excellent sense of music. He showed amazing musical talent at a young age. At the age of twelve, he was already performing on the national stage.
And won the award...]
[... Du Danping's composition styles are varied, from folk music to European classical music, he is very proficient in them, and his composition speed is extremely fast. It is said that he once composed ten pieces in one night, and all of them were adopted. According to interviews, Du Danping said that his ear
Musical melodies often appear beside him, and he just records these melodies. He is a genius...]
[...On the evening of the 19th, Du Danping held his first solo concert of the year at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater, which was a complete success. The audience and guests, including leaders of Jiangcheng City, highly praised Du Danping's performance.
...]
[...According to our reporter, the body of pianist Du Danping, who unfortunately died in the fire at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater, was buried yesterday. People from all walks of life came to express their condolences...]
"Who's playing... could it be this guy?"
According to the development in ordinary mystery novels, this kind of pianist who rose to fame and died in a fire would have a big problem.
Lu Tan silently wrote down Du Danping's photos and some key information in the newspaper, and copied the architectural design drawings of the Grand Theater. When he was about to leave, he was inspired again and found the video of Du Danping's performance back then.
The video quality of the 1990s was not high. On the huge stage, under the spotlight, a young man in a suit was sitting in front of the piano. As the theater fell silent, his fingertips began to run over the black and white keys.
Lu Jian originally considered the possibility that the musical genius Mr. Du Danping was a time traveler, but after hearing the sound of the piano, he gave up the idea.
It was music that Lu Jian had never heard before. It was light, bright, and as graceful as the cry of a nightingale. It was hard to imagine that it was coming from a heavy piano. Even Lu Jian, who knew nothing about music, could hear it.
Feel the pleasure and joy in the music.
The music soon entered the second movement. The deep melody made the listener's mood suddenly drop, like a winter blizzard, hitting everyone's heart. It was completely opposite to the previous joy, just like growing up carefree.
As children enter youth, they encounter setbacks from society and growth.
After that, although the music was still thick and heavy, it no longer had those sharp edges. Instead, it seemed like a harmonious and magnificent movement, solemn and steady, like a cold plum blossom that finally bloomed after going through hardships.
At the end, the chords intertwine, and the powerful music stops abruptly at the most exciting point, fixing people's impression at that peak.
Very good music and performance.
Lu trip evaluation.
He thought for a while, made part of the music into a song, downloaded the digital version to his mobile phone, and watched other interviews with Du Danping before leaving the library and heading to the former site of the Jiangcheng Grand Theater.
On the subway, Lu Tiao took out "The Golden Bough" from his backpack, but his attention was not entirely focused on this anthropological book. The distorted text about how ancient humans created beliefs became a systematic explanation.
.
Lu Trip clicked into the [Silent Department Store], and he was going to buy some goods to cope with the evening's mission.
What he wants most is definitely something that can drive away evil spirits and suppress unclean things.
"Speaking of which, which faction does the ghost in this mission belong to?"
Lu Tan thought.
Some ghosts, such as zombies, essentially rely on physical means to kill people, so they can use modern weapons to crush their bones and scatter their ashes.
Some ghosts, like Sadako and Kayako, are spiritual creatures that cause trouble, and they may use mysterious things like spiritual power to solve problems.
There are also ghosts that are completely unreasonable and you don’t know where they came from. You will die as soon as you see them. Such purely idealistic guys can only fight with faith.
Lu Jian first looked at the products in the [Belief] category, wondering if there was anything in there that could restrain those unreasonable and weird things.
At first glance, he saw a statue of excellent quality.
The base of the statue is a black square stone, with a creature sitting on it. The creature is bloated, with abscesses and wounds on the green stone. There is a huge mouth on its abdomen, revealing sharp teeth. Its face is indistinguishable.
His facial features were as twisted as kneaded plasticine.
Just seeing the appearance of this statue, Lu Tiao felt a chill running up his spine.
[Sign of the Kind Heavenly Father]
【excellent】
[Exquisitely carved statues of gods]
【Present an offering and wait for a response】
[Then pray that you are lucky enough]
["In the wilderness, faith can determine everything"]
[Price: 666 Silence Points]
"...Is this a statue of a god?"
After reading the description, Lu Tan felt that this statue with 666 silence points was definitely a big trap.
Who knows which god can be connected to after worshiping it.
Of course, from this point of view, Lu Tiaobu really believed that it could exorcise evil spirits - as long as it was scarier than ghosts, it could eliminate all weirdness!
"Foreign Bodhisattvas are still unreliable."
Lu Tan continued to browse and found a product that was located in the east.
It was a simple book, bound with thread, just like the martial arts secrets in martial arts novels, except that there were only strange and twisted exotic characters on the cover that no one could decipher.
【Heming's written talk】
【excellent】
[Notes recording forbidden knowledge]
[The works of Taoist Heming have always been collected by rich people in the abandoned capital]
[Immortality, strength, wealth, people try to find worldly desires from them]
[But madness is the only outcome for most people]
【"Those who know are not seeking others, but actually going out and chasing them away"】
[Price: 700 Silence Points]
"...It seems that the Chinese style is not very good."
Lu Tian felt that this kind of Riddler-like product was probably very deceptive.
He rummaged for a while, and finally found a product in the [Secret Treasure] category that looked pretty good.
That's a suona.
