Chapter 32. Coincidentally

I looked along the place where Hu Zongren said, in the crowd of people who came to help, there were two people with their backs to me, but they were all real people, when they moved their bodies a little, I saw a man standing facing the camera through the gap between the two of them, and as Hu Zongren said, this man was the one who was pushed onto the road by the black shadow and then swept under the big truck.

If you don't look at it with such a thought, it is actually difficult to find such a short time of one second. But because of this, the posture of this man in a vest standing makes people feel unreasonable. Imagine if this is also a person who gathers around to see the excitement, then the direction he is facing should be the direction of the car. I took the mouse and zoomed in as much as possible, although the video was not clear enough, but I could still vaguely distinguish the man's expression.

That kind of expression, it looks very trance-like and helpless, as if to say, "Eh? What's going on? What's wrong with me? I feel like I'm dead..."

Hu Zongren said to Vice President Jiang, look at this man, he is dead at the moment, but he has not come back to his senses. But there must be no way to return to the body, and he himself died after being killed, so if no one comes to bring his ghost personally, he will definitely stay in this area. Vice President Jiang had an anxious expression on his face, and Hu Zongren rewinded the video a paragraph until the black shadow crawled out from under the car. He then said to Vice President Jiang, look at this thing, it is the culprit of this incident, and the most important thing is that he has already been a ghost for a long time. He pushed the man in the vest off the street in order to find a stand-in. Vice President Jiang said, you must help me find this thing and catch it, otherwise the house in our community will always be unclean. Hu Zongren shook his head with a smile and said, you just said it wrong, what you really need to watch out for at the moment is not this black thing, because it has found a substitute for the dead ghost, so it can get out by itself, this video has been a long time ago, at this time, this black shadow has long disappeared without a trace, and it has nothing to do with your community at all.

Hu Zongren paused and asked Vice President Jiang, after this car accident, do you know of other things that caused deaths on this road? Vice President Jiang thought about it and said, no, because this incident had a very bad impact on the sales of their community from the beginning, so everyone was very concerned about other accidents on this road. But so far, car accidents have occurred from time to time, but no one has been killed. Hu Zongren pinched his chin and said, That's right, I guess the ghost of this vest man is still here, as for where it is, no one can say, maybe it's at the gate of this community, maybe it's not far from here. When he said this, Hu Zongren suddenly asked Vice President Jiang, when is the largest flow of people in your neighborhood on weekdays?

Vice President Jiang said that it is generally the rush hour of commuting, as well as the time when the primary school is out of school, and many people in the neighborhood will also pick up their children after school and go home to buy vegetables in the market, and there is also after dinner in the evening, everyone comes out for a walk and dances, which is a little more for a while. Hu Zongren pointed to the video and asked, did this video in your hand happen during the time when everyone was about to go home after walking?

In fact, I also noticed that after the car hit and killed people, the truck driver asked for help from the surrounding people, and soon many people came around, which shows that the flow of people around was still relatively large at that time. Vice President Jiang said yes, it was about that time. Hu Zongren looked at the time on his phone and said to me, let's go, let's go down the two sides of this road and look for clues.

At that time, I didn't understand where Hu Zongren's so-called "clue search" was to start, but in front of the customer, the two of us must keep the same pace. So I also stood up, and Hu Zongren said to Vice President Jiang, we will be back later, about 1 hour, you can wait for us here. Vice President Jiang clasped his hands together and said that it would be hard for you two, I am waiting for you here, let's solve this matter as soon as possible, and I am more relieved.

For the sake of his dedication, I think he must have taken a lot of shares.

After following Hu Zongren out, I was about to ask him what we were going to find now, but he grabbed ahead of me and said, let's drive slowly along this road, and then turn back after we reach the end. When I asked why I was doing this, Hu Zongren said, I wanted to see the topography of the road and the situation of nearby pedestrians crossing the road. I realized what he meant, it turned out that he wanted to see what kind of places in this area are prone to accidents for pedestrians and vehicles. I couldn't help but secretly praise Hu Zongren in my heart, it was rare that he could still think of this. So we continued to drive forward in the direction of the side of the community, so to and from the whole road, because the speed has not been fast, so it can be nearly an hour, and Hu Zongren has also changed his temperament on the way to the past, and has been looking left and right to observe.

An hour later, we re-parked the car at the door of the sales department, and after getting out of the car, he told me that he counted it, and it was easy to cause a car accident, in addition to the special situation in the previous video, and the road itself is in good condition and the fast road section is easy to stop the car, there are more than 20 places, which are typical places suitable for finding a dead ghost.

After returning to the office, Hu Zongren roughly told Vice President Jiang about our investigation, and then asked Vice President Jiang to borrow a computer, and he and I began to repeatedly search this road in front of the computer in the past year, large and small car accidents. There is a reason for this, because it is nothing new to kill people on this road, but there are only a few possibilities for the opportunity to be in the news, either very tragic or very bizarre. But as a press release, these words are often handled very ambiguously, which has to make people suspicious, especially people like me and Hu Zongren. Until we found a tragic car accident in early 2010, the accident occurred not far from the intersection of Haier Road Wulidian, and the situation in that place is very similar to the situation at the entrance of Vice President Jiang's community, although the road is very wide, but there are also traffic lights and zebra crossings, and a lot of surveillance cameras have been added nearby because of the construction of a new light rail station.

Coincidentally, the situation of this car accident is almost the same as that of Vice President Jiang and their door: first, it is also a long downhill, but the place of the dead is an uphill opening. So this basically excludes the possibility that it is too late to brake. Second, the deaths were all random passers-by, also large trucks. The only two things that are different, one is the time of death and the other is the way of death.

Time is very far-fetched, if all the car accidents happened at the same time, then it is estimated that it will not be my turn to intervene in this matter with Hu Zongren, which has already attracted the attention of the high-level. So this can basically be ruled out. And Vice President Jiang, the unlucky man in the vest at the door of their community, was hit by a car and then rolled under the car and died, and the one we found was because the muck truck overturned and buried the whole person, this time, two people were buried.

When he saw this, Hu Zongren began to notice that something was not quite right, so he said to me, you hurry up and call Mr. Situ and ask him if he knows some traffic police or fire people in this jurisdiction, let's go and find out the situation. I said I know someone from the traffic police force here, Hu Zongren said that's great, you should contact it quickly and ask him to help find the driver who caused the accident that day and see if you can find it.

I saw that Hu Zongren was talking anxiously, so I quickly took out the phone and called. My friend who was a police officer was very interesting, and it didn't take long for me to find the file of the original case. Then he told me on the phone that because of this kind of traffic accident involving casualties, although the driver did not escape, in addition to negotiating compensation to the family of the deceased, they generally have to file a case in the bureau, which means that the driver will return to the traffic police force to be dealt with after all the investigations are completed and the aftermath is completed. So for the time being, the driver didn't dare to leave Chongqing, and he wouldn't change the phone.

My buddy asked me why I wanted to look into this. I said because I'm experiencing pretty much the same thing at the moment, I think there might be some connection. Who knows, my buddy from the traffic police team said to me meaningfully, these things, I advise you to still want to open a point, don't work so hard to investigate, you can't solve it. I was stunned and was about to ask him what he meant by this, but he didn't answer me, but said to me, he would help me call the driver, and let the driver call me. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Hu Zongren and I continued to search for any valuable clues, and more than 20 minutes later, my phone rang, and it was the driver of the truck that killed two people in the traffic accident at the beginning of the year. His voice sounded very frustrated, and when I asked him about the reason why his car had flipped over that day, he told me that there was a small car in front of him that suddenly slowed down, and he followed before braking, but it was a little late, so he slowed down as much as he could, but there was still a rear-end accident. He said that he would have stopped after the collision, but he didn't know what the road was for, and his feet couldn't even step on the brakes, not only that, but the steering wheel in his hand seemed to be grabbed by something, and his feet couldn't move, I don't know if the road was soft or pressed by something, so the car hit the curb directly with inertia, and it overturned.

I've driven big cars, so I know that the bigger the car, the lighter the steering wheel, and it's much easier to lift the plate than a small car, especially those without a boost. Because of the particularity of the license, the training and examination they receive are much more difficult than that of the small car, and the driver's level will not be bad. I asked the driver on the phone, was he scared and couldn't move?

But he smiled bitterly and said to me, hehe, the ghost knows. Really, the devil knows!

He repeated the phrase "ghosts only know" twice, and emphasized it once, which made me feel that this person must know something, so I said to him, Master, what is your surname? He said his surname was Lin, and I said Master Lin, it's inconvenient for you to be right now, and I want to ask you to talk to you in person.
