I told Master Lin that if you cooperate, I might make you feel relieved. Although I may not be able to help you with civil liability, at least you will not be confused because of this. Master Lin hesitated on the other end of the phone.
After a while, he asked me, "Are you not a police officer? What do you do?"
I told Master Lin that I rely on the dead for food.
At first, Master Lin was unwilling to meet me, but after some hard talking, he finally agreed. It was already around 5 p.m., so I proposed to meet Master Lin for dinner in the evening. Vice President Jiang knew that we were trying to solve the problem.
So he invited us to eat at a very delicious Maoxi restaurant nearby, and the location of this restaurant happened to be near the section of road where Master Lin had his accident.
At around 6 o'clock, Master Lin finally arrived. After a brief chat, Hu Zongren directly asked him some basic information. Master Lin said that his car was affiliated with a certain transportation unit in Chongqing. After the accident,
Since I have been cooperating with the traffic police department in the investigation, I have left the compensation and other issues to the company to handle. Because transportation companies tend to handle it more smoothly. But for more than half a year, I have been staying at home doing nothing, every day.
They will all be tortured by the accident over and over again. After all, it was two lives.
Hu Zongren asked him, if the rear-end collision was a trigger, besides being unable to move his hands and feet, did he have any other conditions at that time, such as seeing something? Master Lin thought for a while, then shook his head and said no,
Because it was noon, there were not many people at this time, and people tend to doze off at noon, so it might have been caused by his poor mental health. He said he couldn't figure it out, as he has been driving for 20 years.
As a veteran driver, this was the first time he encountered this situation. At the same time, he also told us that in their circle of truck drivers, there have always been some unwritten rules.
Master Lin said that because large trucks usually pull goods, they have to work late at night most of the time. After his truck was attached to this company, the company happened to receive the business of removing slag from a large container terminal expansion project near Haier Road.
.There are often some strange sayings circulating in the driver circle. For example, if you drive at night and see someone waving for a ride on the side of the road, don’t stop. For example, if there is a car accident, even if you see something that you can’t explain at the time,
I couldn't tell the truth, so I could only admit it was bad luck. I asked him with some confusion why this was the case. Master Lin told me that before him, many truck drivers had encountered some situations, that is,
There is clearly a straight road in front of you, but you don’t know why you hit a wall when you drive there, or you hit someone even though you didn’t see any pedestrians on the road, etc. I would say, this is a situation where a ghost hits a wall. If
If there have been road thieves or road breakers in a place, this situation does happen often, but I don't understand why you are unwilling to speak out when you encounter such a thing.
Master Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Who will believe it? Who are you talking to? Just like me this time, I don't know why the steering wheel is locked, and I can't explain why I can't move my hands and feet."
But your foot is still firmly pressed on the accelerator. If you say these words to someone from the traffic police team, it would be a trivial matter to lose money, and they might think you are a lunatic. I thought to myself, after all, our profession is too niche.
It's so ignored by people.
Master Lin said that when his car overturned that day, his mind went blank. It was not until the car had overturned and stopped that he climbed out of the cab. He found that he was not injured and felt lucky. Master Lin told us that
At that time, he didn’t even know that the dirt in his cargo box had been dumped out and buried two people. He didn’t know until other passers-by said that he had buried two people. He quickly called the police to help save people, but when 120 and the fire department arrived,
At that time, people were already dead, a man and a woman.
Hu Zongren and I arrived at Haier Road around noon, so I knew that there were not many people walking along the road at noon. So with such a small number of people, after the car overturned due to a rear-end collision, the debris just happened to be dumped.
As for two pedestrians. If they follow official customs, they will definitely say that this is a tragedy and a coincidence. But how can there be so many coincidences in the world, and Master Lin couldn't control himself after rear-ending the car?
As a rescue measure, Hu Zongren and I looked at each other and we knew in our hearts that there was no doubt that this was done by the ghost. I don’t know whether it scared Master Lin or controlled Master Lin’s body, but Master Lin didn’t see it.
Hu Zongren said to Master Lin, after the rear-end collision, did you already subconsciously want to control the direction and apply the brakes? Master Lin nodded and said of course, but no matter how hard he grabbed the steering wheel, the steering wheel would not return to the right direction and would always move in the direction of the steering wheel.
Hu Zongren asked again, when you saw the car suddenly slowing down, you also stepped on the brakes, right? Master Lin said yes, he had already tried his best to speed up when he hit the car.
Slowed down. Hu Zongren said again, that place is uphill again. Since you slowed down and hit the rear of someone else's car, your car should be slower at this time. Even if the direction is locked, it will not
As for the car turning over due to the inertia of this uphill slope.
Master Lin rubbed his eyes with both hands, shook his head helplessly and said, I don’t know, I must be panicking. After a few seconds, he said again, but I stepped on the brakes when the rear-end collision, so it stands to reason that I was coasting for a while at most.
The car would come to a steady stop, but I remembered that I lifted my foot off the brake pad and put it on the accelerator.
Master Lin's words caught my attention. I knew that there was at least one foot between the brake plate and the accelerator of the big car, so if Master Lin wanted to lift his foot and put it on the accelerator, he would not be able to do it himself.
I don’t know. So I told Master Lin that this was just my guess. Considering that two people died, I thought for the time being that if it was two ghosts looking for a substitute, then one of the two ghosts must be catching you.
The steering wheel helps you move your feet.
Hu Zongren nodded. He naturally agreed with my opinion. Then Hu Zongren seemed to suddenly think of something. He slapped the table and said, "I know why!"
We all looked at him, and Hu Zongren said to me excitedly, do you still remember the video we watched before? I said sure enough, he said that the person who crawled out from under the truck was black.
It's like a shadow, right? I'm right, what do you want to say? Hu Zongren said that although it was night, there were street lights. Since the camera at the entrance of the community can take a rough picture of a person's facial features, there was no way
The reason is that the ghost in the photo was only a shadow. Besides, the processed video is still a shadow, and the hands and feet can be clearly seen, making it a human figure. Haven't you thought of this?
I thought about it carefully and suddenly understood. Because after Hu Zongren and I toured Haier Road, we returned to the office and read through many car accidents. Finally, we felt that Master Lin’s accident was very similar to the client’s.
, and the two innocent passers-by who died in Master Lin’s car accident, the press release stated that when they were exhumed, their limbs were already mutilated. They were incomplete corpses.
You mean, Lingqian? Hu Zongren said, that’s right! This kind of person died an unexpected death, and was broken into pieces after death. In addition, he was killed by ghosts. It’s not Lingqian. So I quickly found
In my mind, I recalled some of the characteristics of Ling Que that my master had told me. Ling Que was called "Crane Mazi" in the coastal area, and also called "Duan Gui" in the north. Because he died unjustly, he had a more violent temper.
The ghost is heavier, so it is bound to harm people. This has nothing to do with finding a substitute. Moreover, the ghost often appears in a form that ordinary people cannot directly see. If it dies with half a body, then it will appear as a ghost.
When the missing form appeared, it was also half-body, and it was a black mass. When I thought of this, I tried hard to recall the dark shadow in the earlier video. Although I could recognize it as a human figure, it was indeed missing.
Some things can only be seen by a layman like Vice President Jiang.
Fortunately, the Ling Que in the video found a scapegoat and was freed himself, so I didn't have to worry about dealing with it, because it would be really hard for me to find someone who knows how to channel and is willing to lend his body to Ling Que.
But at the same time, new problems also emerged. Even if we really solved the ghost of the man in the vest near Vice President Jiang’s community, we could only artificially prevent the man in the vest from looking for a scapegoat again.
Possibility. But there is no way to solve the problem from the root. You have to know that if you have to send the people who died on this road one by one, you will be busy until the end of the year of the monkey. So I said to Hu Zongren, you come out
I have something to tell you right now.
So the two of us left the table and walked to the stairs outside. I told Hu Zongren my worries and said that even if the matter we took up this time was solved, it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The man in the vest did not look for a scapegoat, so naturally there would be
There are other ghosts to look for, but since they are looking for them on this road, it means that their death has a certain connection with this road. This road is so long, do you think this is something that the two of us can handle?
When I said this, I remembered the meaningful words my buddy from the traffic police team said before hanging up the phone.
Hu Zongren also frowned and said, in fact, he has also thought about this problem. He thinks it must have something to do with the Feng Shui in this area. Otherwise, why have people died on other roads but not like this road? I asked
What should he do now? If he continues, we may not be able to protect ourselves.
When I said this, I really felt a little guilty. Hu Zongren thought about it and said that since we had promised him, we would do it. At least we have to do something about Vice President Jiang, that is, find the man in the vest.
There haven't been any casualties since his death, so it should still be nearby. Although I feel very reluctant, I still believe that we should do what we can.
Hu Zongren and I made this decision helplessly, and felt that we really shouldn't charge money this time, because even if we finish this matter, we can't guarantee whether similar situations will happen in this area in the future. Back to
After the banquet, I thanked Master Lin and sent him away for a random reason. Before I left, I told him that I would help him talk to my friends from the traffic police team about the situation and see if he could get away with it outside the law.
On the other hand, I handled it reasonably and told Vice President Jiang the results obtained by Hu Zongren and I.
Vice President Jiang obviously didn't expect it and thought we were planning to run away. But I explained to him that because the area covered by this matter was too large, the two of us really couldn't handle it. But I still promised to find the man in the vest.
The ghost should be sent away, and then some side remedial measures should be taken to see if the situation can be alleviated.
I am ashamed to say that this is the only thing that has a beginning and no end after Hu Zongren and I joined forces. A few days later, we found the ghost of the man in the vest late at night. When we found it, it was waiting for an opportunity to find a new one.
The scapegoat. After Hu Zongren caught him, we did not treat him cruelly, but sent him on his way. All this was seen by Vice President Jiang. In order to express our apology to him, Hu Zongren specially asked
Granny Huang came and found an inconspicuous place at the intersection of the small road connecting the primary school on the mountain opposite the community and laid a stone pile. Granny Huang painted it in red and engraved the words Namo Amitabha on it.
Granny Huang said that this can only be a temporary guarantee, but it cannot last forever. When the words on the stone become lighter in color or the stone tablet is cracked, you will have to find an expert again.
Vice President Jiang was still reasonable. Even though we personally said that this trip would be free of charge and the matter was not settled, he still gave us some symbolic remuneration and said that he might trouble us again in the future. Hu Zongren and I went home respectively.
In the days that followed, I paid close attention to the movements on this road. Sure enough, it didn't take long before someone died again.
So the incident of Haierlu's scapegoat has been repeated every now and then, and I don't know when it will end. And just a week after that incident, I suddenly received a call from a person with a northern Sichuan accent. I thought about it for a long time and still couldn't remember that I had
I know people I know from these places, until the other person said something weird to me on the phone, I thought you were all top experts, but I didn’t know you were still a bunch of kids who don’t know your own abilities.
The other party's tone changed, and I was a little confused. I asked him who you are and what you mean by this. But the other party sneered and said, young man, you are crazy, but don't mess with the seniority. You are just different.
Even small things can't be done well, yet you still dare to claim that you rely on your craftsmanship to make a living.
You? This naturally refers to me and Hu Zongren. So I asked him, are you the one from the Tiandi Hui, right? He said, we are the Xuanyuan Hui. I said I don’t care what the Hui is, I tell you, I am with you
I'm not worshiping an ancestor, and I'm not interested in your affairs. Please show your respect and stop calling me. I don't want to be associated with you.
The other party hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "You haven't contacted me, but where is your friend?" I asked him, what's wrong with Hu Zongren? He must have his own plans if he doesn't want to associate with you. As a friend, I support him unconditionally.
.
The other party snorted and said, right? It seems like he didn't tell you, this "good friend", everything. What an upright fellow, he is in trouble and he doesn't even want your help.
I was startled, so I quickly asked him what kind of disaster was coming. But the other party put away his previous sinister tone and said, if you really regard him as a friend, convince him to come to Chengdu to see me on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
