Chapter 29: The Headless Horseman
Indeed, it can be seen that he is an otaku, and it is estimated that he is not so good at remembering these, and the places he usually goes to are very limited, but I still asked with the attitude of giving it a try: "Let me ask first, do you know Xilin Road?" ”
All of a sudden, Guan Shan's expression became serious, and he didn't even yawn, and asked me, "What are you asking for?" ”
I don't think there's any need to hide Song Ming's affairs from him, I said, "Didn't you tell me yesterday that the people who lived in the villa died one after another?" So I looked up the information of the six people, and only one of them died outside, and this place is Xilin Road, but this road is not found on the map. ”
I saw Guan Shan tremble, glanced behind me a few times, and then mysteriously pulled me in.
After he closed the door, he said to me in a low voice: "Of course that road can't be searched, that road was renamed a year ago, and now it's called Xiliu Road, just across the street from the supermarket outside, and then one street over." ”
I nodded, and was about to thank him, when he added, "I advise you not to go there, there is a terrible rumor there." ”
"Rumors?"
He nodded, "Well, rumor has it that there was a guy who would ride his locomotive down that road at two o'clock in the night and have no head!" ”
This is strange news, will it have anything to do with the case I am looking for?
I asked, "Have you seen one?" ”
"Although I am a night owl, I don't have the habit of going out in the middle of the night, I haven't seen it, but many night shift staff in that supermarket have seen it, otherwise people in this area would not know about this rumor."
I was surprised: "Everyone knows this piece? When did this rumor start, and has anyone ever died because of it? ”
"I already had this rumor when I came here, but I didn't hear that the headless man could kill people, and although the witnesses were scared to death, the headless man didn't hurt them."
If there was this rumor when Guan Shan came, then this rumor should have been around for a long time, at least more than three years.
In this villa, there are also people from the supernatural department, but they ignore it, indicating that this case may indeed not hurt anyone.
It matched what I was looking for, but it doesn't mean anything.
After all, this headless man can't prove that he has a connection to the villa where I live.
Guan Shan saw that I was contemplative, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is another more terrifying version of this rumor, do you listen to it?" ”
Without hesitation, I said, "Listen." ”
But he said, "Then you wait for me for a while." ”
I didn't know why, but when he came back, he handed me a note with all kinds of beer brands written on it, and I just listened to him: "If you promise to help me go to the supermarket to buy these things, I'll tell you." ”
Me: "......"
Thinking that I would have to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries later, I said, "Okay, I promise to buy it for you, but don't think I'll pay for you." ”
He laughed, "I know, I'll give you money, in fact, in another version, this headless man is called the Headless Horseman, because his head was taken, so he began to ride his mount out at night to find his head, and if he met someone who looked like him, he would cut off that person's head and take it away." ”
This version was so shocking that I asked him with wide eyes, "Headless Horseman?" ”
To be honest, after the Kuman Thong incident before, I will not be surprised when I hear no matter how fantastical things are, but I think it is too unbelievable.
The Headless Horsemann will look for someone who looks like him in the early hours of the morning and take his head away.
In this way, I heard that the Headless Horseman also had the same element as the six people who died in the villa, that is, the head and body were separated.
That's a little bit of a connection, but is there really a relationship between the two?
The Headless Horseman will look for people who look like him, and these six people are all different, and they certainly can't all look the same as the Headless Horseman.
After I came out of Guan Shan's house, I drove to the supermarket.
On the way, I was thinking, it seems that I still have to go to the west to find out.
After all, Song Ming had an accident there.
Thinking about it this way, Song Ming's head was not taken away, so maybe his death had nothing to do with the Headless Horseman.
My mind is in a mess, and I'm driving a little too fast.
Guan Shan also said that this rumor, everyone in this area knows it, so I have to ask a few more people, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries.
It just so happened that when I was shopping for cat food at the supermarket, I heard the loaders chatting there and restocking.
"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday another man saw that. ”
"Which one?"
"It's the headless man driving on the highway before!"
"Oh, that's it, what's wrong? Has anyone seen it again? ”
"Yes, I was scared a lot, I went home when I was on the night shift at night, and then I saw it, and now I have resigned and quit, it seems that I was scared."
"Tut-tut, don't say it, I feel like the cold hairs are standing up, it seems that I really can't go out this night."
"You say that if a man has no head, how can he live? What a sin, is this a human or a ghost? ”
"Forget it, there is no real death, let's just don't go out at night, don't care if he's a human or a ghost, don't provoke it. Bad luck! ”
I went up to me and asked, "Who do you say you have seen the headless one?" ”
The loader looked me up and down, and his tone was very kind: "Are you interested in this rumor?" ”
I smiled, didn't hide it, nodded and said, "That's right, I just moved around here, and I'm curious when I heard about this rumor." ”
The loader said: "On the opposite road, often at night from two to six o'clock in the night to hear a loud sound of motorcycles, because the supermarket outside will be open for 20 hours, so there are often people on the night shift to see, not only the one you just asked, but I don't know why, people who have seen it never mention the appearance of the headless man, just told us not to go out at night, and not to call the police is also a strange thing." ”
Another loader sighed to me: "You young people, you are just curious, didn't someone die on that highway last time?" He had come to us to inquire about it, and then he was squatting on the road that night, and the next day we found that he had a different head and body. ”
"At that time, when we checked the surveillance, I didn't find out how he died, we guessed, he was probably killed by a headless man, and the temper of this headless man can't be felt, so young man, Auntie advises you not to go over at night, be careful that your life is gone."
The more I listened, the more frightened I became: "This headless man still kills? ”
"We're also guessing, otherwise how can the head and body be separated, which one is so ruthless?"
I asked, "Do you know what the name of the dead man is?" ”
The loader thought for a while: "It seems to be a sex Song ......"
I hurriedly said, "Song Ming! ”
The loader neither nodded nor shook his head: "I only remember my surname Song, I can't remember what his name is, but he also just moved to the villa area above, and he lived in No. 13 Area A." ”
!
It's the villa I live in!
Then the dead man they talked about was undoubtedly Song Ming.
I asked, "Are you familiar with him?" Or do you know? Do you remember what happened at that time? ”
After being asked a lot of questions by me in a row, the loader was a little confused, shook his head and said: "It's been a long time ago, I can't remember it clearly, but do you know the deceased?" ”
I paused and said, "I don't know, but I'm living at No. 13 in Area A right now." ”
The loader was shocked: "Oh my God, you dare to live in a dead person's house?" The owner of the house is also crazy, and he dares to rent out six people in a row, young man, don't live there. ”
I nodded, and said, "I'll look at it, thank you for your concern, thank you." ”
I want to pat my ass and leave, but the key is that I can go?
Things have developed to the point where they are now, and they have long been involuntarily unable to take themselves, and they can only take one step at a time.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!
I asked, "Do you know where that headless man came from?" ”
