3. The mysterious tragedy on the long-distance bus
The strange incident of the decapitated fire man happened ten years ago, when Ma Jun was still in the military academy, and the legend about the fire man Ma Jun only heard about the seniors of the fire brigade after work, and he did not actually see it himself. As listeners, our family just listened to this legend as a supernatural story, and after the meal, everyone had a good time.
Ma Jun and his daughter-in-law stayed here for two days, and also helped me with the things to prepare for the wedding, and they didn't go home until Sunday night.
I thought that the next time Ma Jun and I met Zaijian would be the day before I got married, but I didn't expect Ma Jun to call me three days after he returned home, and after listening to what he told me on the phone, I immediately decided to leave for him.
Ma Jun told me that the decapitated fire man appeared again, and this time he didn't kill the corpse, but killed six big living people!
Ma Jun's original intention may have been to tell me this strange thing, and he didn't intend to let me go. But I've gotten obsessed with this kind of thing after all these weird things, and after he told me about the legend of the fire man, I spent three days full of weirdos with axes in the fire to chop off corpses.
weishenme did the fire man reappear after ten years?
Where did he hide in the middle decade?
weishenme: Before he only hacked dead corpses, but this time he cut down the living?
Is the fire man a real person or a ghost in the fire?
A series of questions jumped into my brain almost as soon as I received the call, and I couldn't do anything else without finding the answer to the puzzle. So on the day I received the call, I drove for four hours to Ma Jun.
I didn't say hello to Ma Jun before leaving, so he was really surprised when I called him to tell him that I had arrived at the door of his unit. After I arrived at his office, I immediately asked what was going on with the fire man, and Ma Jun also told me in detail about the reappearance of the decapitated fire man.
Ma Jun didn't see it with his own eyes, nor did the firefighters, and everything came from a meeting account of a coach driver.
At 10:17 a.m. this morning, a long-distance bus carrying 21 passengers suddenly caught fire on the highway, and it was in this car that the fire man appeared.
The first thing that noticed that something was wrong was the bus driver. At that time, there was no open flame in the car, but the driver smelled a pungent smell of rubber burning, with many years of driving experience, the driver knew that something must be wrong, so he quickly parked the car on the side of the road, and then got out of the car to check.
When the driver opened the hood, a burst of fire burst out of it, accompanied by a pungent smoke.
Seeing this situation, the driver hurriedly ran back to the car and shouted to all passengers to get out of the car, and then quickly called the fire alarm.
The sun was abundant that day, the windows were all curtained, and the dim interior space created a perfect sleeping place, and the passengers were all in a state of confusion. The driver's sudden voice only made the passengers completely sober up, and before everyone had time to react, a flame had already burst out from under the passenger seat of the passenger car!
The speed of the fire was amazing, and the flames burst out and lit the curtains of the seats in front of them.
The passenger sitting in the front seat jumped out of his seat with a startled start, then grabbed the door and fled under the car. Some passengers reacted in time, but some people were still busy taking their luggage from the luggage rack at this time, and these people who took the luggage completely blocked the escape route of the passengers behind, and for a time the entire bus passage was crowded into a ball, and the shouting was also connected.
The driver hurriedly used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire at the door of the car as much as possible, and then shouted that everyone in the car should not take care of their luggage and get out of the car quickly. At this moment, a fire that had been active only near the front of the car suddenly burst out of the rear of the car, and then quickly spread throughout the car.
The people in the car were completely out of control, and everyone was squeezing towards the door, but a door that could only allow one person to pass through couldn't get everyone out in a short time. Some passengers were lucky enough to jump out of the car first, others were crushed and trampled, and those in front of Zuihou let out a burst of screams.
The driver at the front of the car didn't know what was going on at the back of the car, so he could only try to organize the people at the door to get out of the car smoothly.
When the passengers crowded at the door of the car basically got off the bus, the driver found that in the back of the car, which had become a sea of fire, there was actually a person covered in flames, who was still carrying a bloody double-edged axe in his hand, and there were several corpses lying horizontally on the seats on both sides of the aisle in the middle of the bus, and these corpses were all headless!
The driver was so frightened that he rolled backwards from the door to the outside of the car, and then almost crawled away from the burning bus.
Ten minutes later, two fire trucks arrived at the section where the bus had caught fire, and by this time the bus had already burned into a large fireball. After the fire was finally extinguished, the bus had turned into a black scrap steel frame.
Firefighters entered the car and found six charred headless bodies, while the six heads were found in the lowlands on the other side of the highway. Although the heads were also burned, they were not scorched, and all six heads still maintained frightened expressions, apparently they were all beheaded while they were still alive.
Both the driver and the surviving passengers told the police who came after them what they had seen with their own eyes.
The police didn't believe in this kind of thing, but the firefighters looked at each other one by one, because there has long been a legend of a beheaded fire man in the fire brigade.
After listening to Ma Jun's detailed description, I immediately found one of the most important numbers: six.
I asked Ma Jun, "There are six people who were beheaded?" ”
"Hmm. It's six. Ma Jun nodded.
"Then do you remember what you told me about the fire in the mall ten years ago, when there were six headless corpses in the booth on the second floor! Do you think it's a coincidence? I asked.
Ma Jun was stunned when he heard this! After a long silence, he frowned and asked me, "What do you think is going on?" ”
I shook my head, then guessed, "First of all, I should be able to make sure that the pervert who cut off someone's head in the fire is not a living person." Did the police check the list of passengers who were in the car at the time? ”
"I really don't know, weishenme wants to ask this?" Ma Jun Road.
"If the bus fire is regarded as an arson homicide, then the murderer must be one of the passengers, and he is wearing a fireproof suit." I explained.
After hearing this, Ma Jun immediately shook his head and said: "This is definitely impossible, fireproof clothing will not catch fire." If it really burned to the point where his whole body was on fire, the person inside would have died in less than ten seconds, and how did he get out of the bus? No one saw it at all. ”
I couldn't answer Ma Jun's rhetorical question, and I didn't know how to explain what the decapitated fire man was. Fortunately, nothing happened to the driver of the coach, and he had seen the fire man with his own eyes, so I planned to meet the driver and find out what he was seeing at the time.
According to Ma Jun, the driver is now in the hospital, and he had some burns on his arm while fighting the fire, but the condition was not too serious. Ma Jun didn't have anything to do now, so he went with me to the hospital where the driver of the bus was.
There were a lot of people on the periphery of the ward, with cameras and microphones, who looked like they were media reporters. But they couldn't get into the room because two uniformed police officers stopped at the door.
I was wondering if I should ask Ma Jun if he could speak well in front of the police, and if he could let the police let us in, and before I could speak, a very familiar voice came from behind me.
"Thunder?"
I hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, there was an acquaintance standing behind me - Tang Hui.
