When retired Officer Huang was recalling the old case, I kept using my phone to record the number of people who had been decapitated.

The first case of decapitation occurred at Chen Mu's house, and the deceased were two people, but the heads were missing.

In the second case of beheading, six people were beheaded; the third was a family of three; The fourth case of decapitation was five people; The next few beheadings killed four people, three people, seven people, five people, and zuihou were three people who were burned to death and then beheaded.

I clearly remember the legend of the fire man that Ma Jun told me, the first decapitated strange thing happened in the mall, and it was also six decapitated corpses, and then in a private house, three people were beheaded, and Zuihou appeared in a factory warehouse for three people. Although Ma Jun didn't go into detail about the beheadings in the middle, I guess the number of beheadings in the middle of the beheadings must be comparable to the serial murders thirty years ago.

It turned out to be exactly what I expected.

After reviewing the old case, Lei Qishan immediately linked the past serial murder case with the decapitation incident at the fire ten years ago. The number of decapitation incidents and the number of decapitated corpses in the fire are surprisingly similar to serial murder cases, except that the decapitation case that occurred in Chen Mu's house at the beginning is not related to the decapitation in the fire in the later incident.

After saying this, Lei Qishan asked me what I thought of this strange thing.

Without thinking, I replied, "If I had to judge, it would be a ghost." Chen Mu is estimated to have died ten years ago, after which he turned into a ghost and appeared in the fire, and then repeated the killings he had done before. ”

"Ghosts? Are you sure? After hearing this, Officer Huang immediately asked me with a puzzled expression.

Lei Qishan and Tang Hui also looked at me with questioning eyes.

I hesitated for a moment, because several cases of decapitation occurred during the day, which was contrary to Qiao Wei's theory that ghosts do not appear on sunny days; In addition, there are many components of long-distance bus iron, and ghosts should be afraid of iron, which is another contradiction. So Zuihou still chose to shake his head and said, "I'm not sure, it's all my guess, but I have a way to confirm whether my guess is right or not." ”

"What's the solution? You're going to summon ghosts too? Tang Hui asked.

"I haven't learned to summon ghosts yet, but I've learned a little bit of the popular type, and if it's really a ghost, there should be some traces left on the bus."

I'm not bragging to Tang Hui, he did leave me some small things before Qiao Wei returned to the UK, although these things are not as direct as his soul summoning technique, but they can still indirectly find out the traces left by the ghost's activities, one of the props is the test strip that can make the yin qi appear.

The bus that caught fire has been brought back to the police as evidence to look for clues, and it is not difficult for me to go and see the wreckage of the bus.

After dinner, Tang Hui was in charge of sending Officer Huang home, while Lei Qishan and I went to the city bureau with Lei Qishan, and the burned iron bus was still parked in the small square in front of the evidence store.

Before I went to inspect the bus, Lei Qishan took me to see the investigation report, and the bus caught fire because of the autumn tiger. Today's high temperatures, coupled with the aging of the buses, and poor engine ventilation led to a short circuit in the wires and a fire, in short, an accident, without any traces of arson.

After reading the report, we came to the bus.

The door of the bus has been removed, and I took out a test strip that can detect yin qi while getting into the bus that has become an empty shelf and shook it everywhere in the car, but the test paper is clean and clean, and there is no trace of flocculent dust attached to it, which means that there is no yin qi in the car.

I don't have Qiao Wei's eyesight and perception of the five elements of yin and yang, I can only use test strips to test everywhere in the bus, and I can't let go of any corner. This inefficient approach did not yield any promising results, and the test strips remained clean.

"Did you find anything?" Lei Qishan asked me under the car.

I shook my head at him from the frame window.

"So it's not a ghost?" Lei Qishan asked again.

"It's hard to say. Do you have a lighter? ”

"Yes." Lei Qishan said as he took out a lighter and threw it to me through the car window.

I lit the lighter, and then with the test strip and looked around in the car, this time when I came to the rear of the bus, there was an immediate reaction on the test strip, and a flocculent black dust appeared on the test strip, and the yin finally began to gather!

I excitedly shook the test strip at Lei Qishan, "There is a reaction!" Can you see that? ”

Lei Qishan frowned and stared at the test strip in my hand for a while, then shook his head. His eyes changed suddenly, and he reached out and pulled out his gun and pointed it at me.

I was shocked, I didn't know what happened to Lei Qishan.

Lei Qishan shouted at me at this time: "Squat! ”

I didn't have time to react and quickly crouched down, and at the same time there was a metallic sound behind me, it wasn't gunshot, it was more like something had fallen to the ground. I quickly turned my head to look behind me, and there was a black iron double-edged axe lying flat in the aisle behind me.

The axe stayed in front of me for less than a second before it dissipated into a cloud of black smoke.

At this time, I suddenly felt a strong burning sensation in my right hand, and I threw the lighter on the ground with a shake of my hand. The fire on the lighter went out, and as the flame disappeared, the flocculent dust on the test strip in my left hand disappeared with it.

Lei Qishan shouted "Thunder!" under the car! Are you okay? ”

"It's fine." I quickly answered, and trotted out of the scrap iron rack.

After getting out of the car, I immediately asked Lei Qishan what had just happened.

Lei Qishan replied with a stern expression: "I saw it!" Just now there was a charred man standing right behind you, and he was going to cut you with an axe, and then I was ready to shoot, but before I could shoot, he was gone. ”

"What do you mean by disappearing? Is it suddenly gone? Or did it disperse like smoke? I asked.

"There's no smoke, it's gone all of a sudden, and it's gone before I shoot, and it's like...... It's as if it hid out of fear. ”

Lei Qishan is an experienced veteran criminal policeman, and I absolutely trust his judgment.

The one who suddenly appeared behind me just now and then suddenly disappeared was obviously a ghost, but what if a ghost weishenme would be afraid of bullets? Also, this ghost weishenme can appear in a space filled with steel? This obviously doesn't make sense!

Even if this ghost is resistant to iron, metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron only have the effect of repelling ghosts, and it is definitely not possible to make ghosts disappear completely by relying on these metal objects, so there is no need for ghosts to be afraid of the bullets in Lei Qishan's pistol.

The skeleton fire man just now obviously had the opportunity to hack me to death, but zuihou he stopped and fled, this is weishenme? He was afraid that the bullets would kill him? Or did he not realize he was dead at all?

I don't know much about ghosts, so I have to consult experts on these issues. I don't know Qiao Wei's phone number in the UK, so I can only call Ye Hong and tell Ye Hong everything about Huo Nan and what just happened.

After hearing this, Ye Hong told me with great certainty that the fire man was a ghost, and it was a very difficult ghost.

Ye Hong agrees with my speculation, she said that after death, people will sometimes completely lose their minds before death, and sometimes they will completely retain all the memories before they were alive, and some ghosts will forget the fact that he is dead, and only keep a part of the memories that make him the most difficult to forget.

He doesn't know he's dead, and if he was a serial killer, he's still running away from the police, and he's still going on his killings, and his trajectory must be the same as he was doing.

In addition, it is very likely that this ghost has an extremely close connection with the murder weapon he used during his lifetime, so it is not afraid of metal. In addition, it is very likely that its transformation process is related to fire, so it is only born in fire. As for appearing during the day, Ye Hong said that there is also an extremely rare kind of daytime ghost on Shijie, and these ghosts can appear during the day, but it is still necessary to avoid direct sunlight.

The information provided to me by Ye Hong is extremely important. If the decapitated fire man is Chen Mu, I think that by learning about the serial murder case in the past 30 years and Chen Mu as a person, I may be able to create a chance for the decapitated fire man to show his face, and then talk to him in person.
