Chapter 46 sea ​​needle

After seeing two movies in a row, I was confused by the methods of tracing people in them. One is "The Rise of Hannibal" starring Gong Li. The young Hannibal avenged his relatives in the chaotic situation of post-war reconstruction. The information he got from his old enemy was nothing more than "so and so is now in Fontainebleau". , "So-and-so is in the middle of Canada", and with such inaccurate clues, he actually went to the door accurately and completed the great cause of revenge beautifully.The other is the new film "Mr. Brooks" starring Kevin Costner. On the one hand, the protagonist is a successful person selected as "Person of the Year" and on the other hand is a "junkie" who is addicted to killing.His work of collecting all information about the victim was basically done online.Compared with Hannibal's era, considering the popularity of the Internet in the United States and its importance in American life, Mr. Brooks' method of tracing people has a little practical significance.

In reality, the search for people is not so smooth at all.In Baidu’s tracing bar, there are hundreds of thousands of missing person posts on the numerous “China missing person websites”, covering all aspects of missing persons: looking for missing family members and friends, looking for runaway children, looking for The comrades and classmates who had been lost for many years, looking for the first love of the year, looking for the benefactor who helped him in the crisis, most of them did not respond.This proves that the theory that "the distance between people is six people" is valid when the location of the other party is known, but it is completely invalid in front of those who need to find it.

In reality, I have experienced two search for people. One was to help relatives find the white-eyed wolf who ran away with his family and failed to pay back his debts. The other was the disappearance of a middle school classmate. He suddenly disappeared in the school dormitory one morning. There is also a toothbrush with toothpaste on it.After his family went bankrupt and searched for half a month, they finally found out his whereabouts. It turned out that he just stayed at a friend's house for a few days on a whim.The last search proved an important theory, that is, any event, any decision, is not as precise and traceable as we imagined, and it is probably the accidental product of multiple forces, and even has nothing to do with it. The air of the day, the weather, the environment, a sudden thought, etc. all matter.Just like those UFO incidents, most of them have been proven afterwards to be the result of the joint effects of light, environment, angle, and the mental state of the witnesses.

Therefore, in the American drama "Without A Trace" ("Without A Trace", also known as "Leaving Without Trace"), the only tool used by the FBI New York Missing Persons Team to find missing persons is advanced psychoanalysis techniques, or , is a reproduction technique of the environment and psychological state. In reality, each of us is like a needle in the sea, at a certain moment, at a certain moment, with the cooperation of certain forces, we easily lose our own coordinates.
