"Spontaneous combustion?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but finally interrupt Fu Bin's words on the other side of the video.

Fu Bin said in a sad tone, "Yes, after Tao Qi knocked everyone down at that time, a fire suddenly broke out on his body, and the fire burned very quickly, and in just about 10 minutes, Tao Qi's whole person turned into ashes." Completely disappeared from this world from now on! ”

Xiao Qicai and I glanced at each other, and I said, "Are you sure there was no external force at that time?" Like a lighter or something! ”

Fu Bin said, "I'm 100% sure that the scene was so weird at that time, how could anyone think of using a lighter?" And even if it was a lighter to burn clothes, the fire couldn't be so fast. It takes at least 1~2 minutes to burn the whole clothes, but at that time, almost a few seconds, Tao Qi's whole body was on fire together, including pants, hair, and skin, and at the same time, just like a burning man. ”

I pondered, "You just said that Tao Qi's whole person was turned into ashes? ”

"Yes!"

"What happened next?"

A deserted village under the night sky.

From Tao Qi's mysterious spontaneous combustion, to his burning into ashes, after this world disappeared forever, it was only 20 minutes at most, and the eyes of the gangsters and Fu Bin, the two fathers and sons, were all staring blankly at the place where Tao Qi "spontaneously combusted", his body stiffened for a long time, and his legs seemed to be unconscious, not moving.

It was a really weird scene, so weird that it was suffocating.

Later, after Fu Bin's father went down the mountain, he told Fu Bin again and again not to tell this matter. Unexpectedly, just three years ago, Fu Bin's father had a car accident and was seriously injured, and he was about to die. Before his death, Fu Bin's father's last wish was to know the truth about what happened in the deserted village that night.

Therefore, Fu Bin has been looking for answers for three whole years, but he has never figured out how Tao Qi spontaneously combusted, and where does his strength come from?

That's how the whole thing went.

Fu Bin spoke for more than two hours, drank seven or eight bottles of beer, and did not look tired at all.

I said to him, "Thank you for trusting me so much. If I can find the answer to this matter in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible. Fu Bin said, "That's great", and the video call ended completely.

I looked at the time, 22:21 p.m. Xiao Qicai, who had not spoken, expressed her opinion at this time. "In fact, when I was in the United States, I studied the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body very carefully."

I gestured and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Xiao Qicai said, "Spontaneous combustion of the human body is an extraordinary phenomenon, and the three most amazing parts of this phenomenon are, first, the human body is not in contact with any fire source, and the fire suddenly starts in the body, and the fire starts quickly; second, most of the corpses were burned to ashes after spontaneous combustion; Third, when spontaneous combustion occurs, the surrounding things, including combustible objects, do not catch fire. ”

I said, "Does this really exist?" ”

"Something similar did happen in history, first seen in medical reports in the mid-17th century, and so far, this phenomenon has been recorded in many medical books, such as December 15, 1949, a 53-year-old woman named Cortris in New Hampshire, USA, was burned to death in her home.

During their investigation, the Manchester police found that the horrific corpse, which did not look like a human form, lay on the floor of the room, but the objects in the room had not been damaged in the slightest, and the fireplace had not been used, and no fire could be found anywhere else.

The Associated Press reported that the woman must have been like a fireball when it burned, but the flames did not burn any wood in her home. This incident caused a sensation throughout the United States at the time. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qicai took a sip of water and continued, "There was also Mrs. Liser in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1951, who was found to have turned to ashes in the house, and the house was not damaged in the slightest. In this case, investigators used a variety of modern scientific methods in the hope that they would be able to get to the bottom of the story.

However, despite the concerted efforts of FBI arson experts, fire department officials, and pathologists, it took a year to unclear the story. ”

I said, "Do you know what the situation was like?" ”

"At the scene of the accident, except for the chair and the coffee table next to it, the rest of the furniture was not seriously damaged, but there was a strange phenomenon in the house: the ceiling, curtains, and walls more than 4 feet above the ground were covered with a layer of unpleasant oil smoke, but the walls below 4 feet were not."

The paint on the wall next to the chair was a little yellow, but the carpet where the chair was placed had not burned through.

In addition, a wall mirror 10 feet away may break due to heat; The two candles on the dresser 12 feet away had melted, but the wicks remained undamaged on the candlesticks;

The plastic socket located more than 4 feet above the wall was also melted, but the fuse did not blow out and the current was still flowing so that the power outlet of the wainscoting was not damaged.

The clock connected to a melted socket had stopped at exactly 4:20 a.m. When the clock is connected to a good socket on the wainscoting, it can still continue to move. Some flammable items in the vicinity, such as newspapers on a table, tablecloths, and curtains, were all unharmed. ”

……

Xiao Qicai said here in one breath, and said, "Although there are many records of spontaneous combustion, it has always caused controversy among many scientists, and the modern scientific community and the medical community have denied the claim of spontaneous combustion of the human body." Although some people have put forward some theories, such as ball lightning, static electricity, wick effect, too many ketones in the body, etc., but no one has been able to clearly explain how the human body spontaneously combusts or even turns into ashes, because if all the bone marrow and tissues of the human body are to be burned, it is only possible in high-pressure crematoriums with a temperature of more than 1648.9 degrees Fahrenheit. The presence of undamaged clothing or some fleshy remains on the charred corpses, then, is all the more mysterious. ”

I pondered, "Then you said that these people who spontaneously combusted are also like the people in Taojia Village, they are not ordinary people, but their internal conditions are very special?" ”

Xiao Qicai said, "I've never thought about this. But when you mention it now, I think it should be. Just because the person who spontaneously combusted is not ordinary, the probability is not large, so it will cause controversy. ”

I said, "Yes! Such a strange thing as spontaneous combustion will never happen to ordinary people. Therefore, we must now summarize the characteristics of the people of Taojia Village before we can continue to analyze. ”

So, what are the characteristics of the people in Taojia Village?

1. Will hold your breath for up to dozens of hours.

2. Body temperature is too high, 2~3 times higher than that of ordinary people, or even more.

3. The power is endless

4. Agile movements

……

Thinking of the above four points, I thought hard about the relationship between these four characteristics, and suddenly there was a hypothesis, and in order to test this hypothesis, I called Dr. Ke Weipeng early the next morning, and I wanted to tell him urgently that I would see him immediately.

But what I didn't expect was that Ke Weipeng's phone was turned off all the time, and then he called the hospital department where he worked, but the relevant personnel told me, "I'm sorry, Dr. Ke resigned." ”

I was surprised, but quickly asked, "When, please?" ”

The answer was an exact time, and I calculated that it was the day after our last meeting that day.

How did Ke Weipeng resign? Where are the others?

Putting down the phone, I vaguely felt that Ke Weipeng's resignation was definitely related to Taojia Village, otherwise his father had been persuading him for several years and had not let him continue to be a doctor, but he didn't listen, why did he resign on his own initiative this time?

Putting down the phone, I continued to call Ke Weipeng a few times without giving up, but the phone was still turned off. In a hurry, I didn't think about discussing it with other doctors, but if I told strangers about it, they might not believe it, and it might cause unnecessary trouble in other areas.

After weighing it, I decided to find Ke Weipeng first before making plans.

I can only ask Xiao Qicai to help me find a job, although I know that Ke Weipeng will definitely go to the mountainside near Changbai Mountain to find the footprints of Taojia Village. But Xiao Qicai said, "It will take at least two days to completely find Ke Weipeng's exact location." You can relax for a while for these two days, and I'll let you know as soon as there's news. ”

So what should I do in these two days?

I suddenly found myself a little bit of nothing to do, whether I was watching a movie or going out to hang out, I always felt a little absent-minded, and I was always thinking about the affairs of Taojia Village and Ke Weipeng's whereabouts, as if I didn't completely understand the truth of this matter for a day, I couldn't really relax for a day, and my heart was always like a stone hanging in my heart.

Just when I was bored and didn't know what to do, Li Mengzhu called me.

She mysteriously asked me to go to the largest western restaurant in the city to eat, which is very high-end, I have been there once before, after the "White Wall Night Eye" incident, Li Mengzhu's father invited me to go, although Li Mengzhu is a veritable Bai Fumei, but she is still very low-key under normal circumstances, why did she suddenly ask me to go there to eat?

Could it be that today is her birthday, no, her birthday is still half a year.

Valentine's Day, Women's Day, Christmas ...... Neither are these festivals.

Thinking about it, I didn't think of why Li Mengzhu asked me to go there for dinner.

And she told me very solemnly on the phone, "Dress handsome, preferably in a suit." Then I hung up the phone instantly, and in desperation, an otaku like me, who often doesn't pay attention to clothes, spent an unprecedented full hour dressing up. Then I went out and headed for the restaurant.
