Chapter 3: The Cold in the Sea of Fire
It's cold where the ghost jumps into the sea!
I grabbed a trace of qi and looked at it, and saw that there was fire in it, but more water was it.
Frozen water vapor.
I'm even more confused.
"Young man, what are you doing here? Beware of freeze spoilage. Then an old woman who was picking up shells passed by, carrying a basket full of all kinds of shellfish jewelry, and she was selling shells by the sea.
"Why is it so cold here?" I asked.
The old woman looked at the sun and said, "God knows, it was like this three years ago, many seaside children have frostbite here, and they have been hospitalized for half a month, so go away." ”
She walked fast and did not dare to linger.
I followed, "Granny, I bought all your shells, but you have to tell me what happened three years ago." ”
The old woman was very happy, and I immediately gave her money.
She smiled from ear to ear and said, "Do you know about ghost diving?" Those who are burned to death by fire, the ghosts will not go away, and they will look for water. ”
My mind moved, there is this saying in Feng Shui, which is also the common condition of ghosts.
The hungry ghost looks for food, the hanged ghost looks for a knife to cut the rope, and the decapitated ghost looks for the head...... These are similar to obsessions.
Those fire ghosts jumped into the sea, naturally wanting to extinguish the fire on their bodies, which is also an obsession.
"Three years ago, there was a fire nearby?" I immediately thought of fire.
The old woman nodded, and said while loading money: "Yes, there is a factory that sells meat that burned down, and more than 100 people died, hey, pitiful." ”
She shuddered, began to be afraid, waved her hand and left: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'm going home." ”
I thought about it, and it seemed so simple.
The fire killed more than a hundred people in a nearby factory, and then the dead were gone, repeating the action of jumping into the sea, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
As long as the fire is not extinguished, the cycle will continue.
But the problem is that the fire ghost makes the temperature lower, which is not in line with the feng shui saying and is completely contradictory.
I went back while thinking about it, and Wang Dong immediately greeted me and asked, "Brother Li, what did you find?" What did Grandma say? ”
"Brother, no one has jumped into the sea anymore." Shu Tong said a word and hid behind him.
I'm not afraid, she's a ghost herself, but she's too weak, so she still has to be guarded against.
"Three years ago, there was a fire, which burned more than 100 people, and more than 100 people were obsessed with it, and repeatedly jumped into the sea to extinguish the fire, which was very miserable." I said, "But it's strange that the fire ghost actually lowered the temperature, it's weird." ”
"Eleven, are you going to deal with this? I can take Shu Tong back. "She has the demeanor of a hostess.
But I don't worry about them going back on their own.
I smiled: "It's okay, keep playing, you guys just stay in the hotel if there's something wrong, we have to go back together." ”
"Okay, you have to protect us, she is a weak woman." Coquettish.
Wang Dong was about to squirt blood, so he hurriedly ran to hook up with his sister by the sea.
We continued to play and didn't go back to the hotel until dark.
Wang Dong became a black fat man, and his body was itchy and uncomfortable. So he ran to the side of the road and picked up branches of trees to bathe.
Shu Tong was also itchy, her back was red, her face was also red, and she was miserable all the time.
That's the price of not protecting yourself from the sun.
But there is no change, she is still white and tender, worthy of an incorruptible corpse, and she is not afraid of the sun at all.
"Young, you can smear some medicine on Shu Tong, you can't go to play in the water tomorrow." I feel sorry for Shu Tong.
Tie your hair and wipe it off.
I took a shower and planned to take everyone out for a seafood meal in the evening.
As a result, Wang Dong in the next room suddenly came, and he came after just a while, still holding his mobile phone.
I wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"Brother Li, Guan Bojun's call, he is in a hurry." Wang Dong scratched his backsliding.
I was stunned for a moment: "Who is Guan Bojun?" ”
"The richest man in Dongwan District, Yang City, the male owner of the ghost ship incident, the corpses of the crew we found back were all settled by him." Wang Dong explained.
That's when I remembered that it was the richest man.
I took the phone and asked, "Boss Guan, what's the matter?" ”
"Master Li, I finally found you, something big happened to me here, it's too scary!" Guan Bojun's voice was shaking.
"Something happened to your son again?" I asked.
"It's not my son, it's my cousin. Beihai Wanzhou Group, my cousin's, his factory restarted today, I came to take a look, but more than 30 workers froze to death, my cousin was arrested again, I just finished making a record. Guan Bojun said in a hurry, and it was not clear.
But he's also in Beihai City, which is a coincidence.
"I'm also in Beihai City, you can make an appointment and meet and talk." I said in a deep voice, feeling that this incident had something to do with the jumping incident.
"Great, Master Li, I'll give you the positioning, meet and talk!" Guan Bojun was overjoyed, and the whole person was a lot more stable.
I hung up the phone, and Wang Dong was still scratching his back: "Brother Li, what did Guan Bojun say?" Live again? ”
"Tell him about it, it's unusual." I don't get it either.
Wang Dong sighed: "My holiday." ”
He went back to his room to clean up.
I also went back to the room, just in time to come out and say, "Shu Tong is asleep, she has a sunburn, and she has to rest for two days." ”
"You watch her here, just take her shopping, I'm busy." I said.
"The fire ghost jumping into the sea?" Asked young.
I said probably.
She waved her hand: "Then you go, those more than 100 fire ghosts jumping into the sea every day are too miserable, save them." ”
When I said it, I didn't forget to tell her: "Remember, you must wear a mask when you go out on the street." ”
Xiao Xiao sneered, and laughed evilly: "What a stingy man, can't you let others look at me?" ”
"Nope."
"Got it."
Half an hour later, I set off with Wang Dong.
He drove me to a quiet Chinese restaurant with private rooms.
The meal had already come up, and the table was full of seafood, and Guan Bojun walked around anxiously.
As soon as we came, he shook hands with us as if he had seen the savior: "Master Li, Mr. Wang, you are here, sit first, sit first!" ”
The richest man is in a hurry, he has been waiting for us for a long time, and the more he waits, the more anxious he becomes.
I sat down with Wang Dong, and Wang Dong directly grabbed the crab and ate it, unceremoniously.
I took a sip of tea and asked Guan Bojun: "What is the specific matter, explain it clearly, I can analyze." ”
"That's right, my cousin Guan Xiangrong is the CEO of Wanzhou Group, and he is also one of the richest people in Beihai City, and I own 49% of the shares of his group. Three years ago, a fire broke out in Wanzhou's most important factory, and the cold storage area burned down, killing 123 people, shocking the whole country. ”
"My cousin suffered, although he finally obtained the understanding of his family through huge compensation, but his Wanzhou Group almost collapsed, and I have been helping him to fill the hole. Recently, he has regrouped and borrowed money to restart the factory and resume production. ”
Guan Bojun paused, and his tone began to tremble.
"At nine o'clock this morning, the old factory that burned out was all overturned and rebuilt, and a new factory was built. I came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, after all, almost half of his group is mine, and I value it. ”
"As a result, the old factory was pushed halfway through, and the temperature suddenly dropped sharply, especially near the original cold storage area, where more than 30 people froze to death on the spot, and even their bones were broken when they touched it."
Guan Bojun trembled all over, sweated coldly, and had to drink hot tea to warm his body.
Wang Dong didn't eat crabs anymore when he heard it, and said in shock: "So weird? It's a hot day now, how can people freeze to death? Is there a ghost in the cold storage area? ”
"I don't know, this is too evil, my cousin fainted to death at the time, he couldn't bear such a blow. Now that he has been arrested, this time the compensation may completely drag him down, and I have urgently mobilized my company's funds. ”
Guan Bojun is afraid and aggrieved, his investment in Wanzhou Group is too big, he can't stop it, and he can't watch Wanzhou Group collapse.
I was silent, knocked lightly on the table, and thought carefully.
Guan Bojun and Wang Dong didn't speak, they all looked at me.
After a while, I asked Guan Bojun: "Three years ago, was there anything unusual about the workers who were burned to death?" For example, the shape of the corpse and so on. ”
Guan Bojun was stunned and recalled carefully: "I didn't understand the details, I thought it was too scary...... But my cousin told me that he couldn't figure out whether the workers were burned to death or frozen, and that after the fire, the factory was as cold as it was snowing. ”
I nodded, got up and walked two steps, and came to a conclusion: "It should have been frozen to death, and the fire together released the cold air, and the workers were first frozen to death, and then scorched." ”
"Released the cold air? It's impossible, no matter how low the air conditioning in the cold storage is, it is impossible to freeze people to death on the spot. Guan Bojun could not accept this conclusion.
"I didn't say it was the cold in the cold storage."
"Where's that aircon?"
"I don't know until I see it, I suspect that the fire unleashed a devil."
