This incident took place in Beijing, China, on the gloomy night of November 14, 1995. An elderly guy, or perhaps an elderly woman, was chatting with the only other person waiting for a bus at midnight: a calm young man. They both boarded the midnight bus 375, which was the final bus for Route 375 leaving from the bus terminal. The young man seated a few rows behind the elderly passenger, who chose a seat near the front of the bus. The driver and a female ticket collector were the only other passengers with them. After some time, the bus's driver noticed two shadowy figures waving at it from the side of the road. When the doors opened, he paused, and three guys entered—two men who were holding up a third man by the shoulders while supporting him between them. The man standing in the middle appeared untidy and bowed his head so that no one could see his face. Inside the bus, there was a depressingly peaceful environment. Soon later, the elderly man got into a fight with the young man while pretending to have stolen his wallet. When the argument got out of hand, the bus driver had to force them both off. The old man was no longer irate when they got off and the bus sped off. He acknowledged saving their lives and told the young man. Those three additional passengers lacked feet. They weren't alive; they were just floating, he claimed. They then went to the closest police station to report this incident, but no one paid them any attention. The bus operator said in a statement the next day that "Last night, the final bus for Route 375 vanished, along with the driver and ticket lady." When the older man and the younger man attempted to report the incident earlier, the police originally believed they were mentally ill and pursued them. Both of them were included in press interviews. The missing bus was found on the third day in a water reservoir around 100 kilometers from its intended destination or the so-called Fragrant Hills. Three gravely dismembered bodies were found inside the bus. These questions were raised by this discovery: - After a full day of journey, the bus did not have enough fuel to continue travelling that far. - The finding that fresh blood, rather than petrol, had been used to fill the petrol tank. - The fact that the bodies were discovered after only 48 hours of decomposition; even in the summer, the process would not proceed thus quickly. An autopsy determined that the bodies had not been tampered with on purpose. - The police searched all the security cameras placed around the many entrances to the reservoir, but they were unable to find anything unusual. It's a riddle that hasn't been resolved as yet.
Several other questions surrounded this case, including the following:
The police discovered blood in the petrol tank when they opened it, since the bus didn't have enough fuel to travel all the way to the Reservoir.
Even though the bodies were discovered just two days after going missing, they had suffered terrible decomposition. The rate of decomposition could not be this quick even in the heat. An autopsy determined that the bodies had not been tampered with on purpose. How could they break down so fast?
The bus was not shown on any of the security camera tapes that were thoroughly examined by the authorities at each gate going to the reservoir. Actually, they turned up nothing.
