鬼记者
5171
不知各位有否留意近年气候愈来愈反常,香港更出现落雹的罕见自然现象。
这不其然使人联想到天意凶兆,示警人间世道日坏。
每天打开报纸,每多车祸、凶杀、自杀、**事件登上头版,其中不乏鲜血淋漓,死状可怖的照片。
这样做能否满足读者的好奇心,就不得而知。
不过,把死者照片共诸於世,亡灵又如何安息?在一班记者茶聚时,就有人讲这样一个报界鬼故事。
* * *话说,志良在香港某大报当记者已有不短的日子,负责跑每日港闻,每逢凶杀跳楼、天灾人祸,总之有特发新闻便第一时间到达现场拍照。
在同行业中出名拼搏的志良,出尽百宝,每多能拍摄许多难得的照片,故此,甚得当时权倾报馆的李姓老总器重。
所有事情的开端,应该由那个星期日开始。
星期日,志良打算一家人到赤柱游玩,但当天北角发生车祸,志良接了李老总电话务必去採访,以便作翌日的头条新闻。
於是志良叫妻子驾车载志良父母及6岁的儿子先到赤柱,待他办完公事后再与家人会合。
北角车祸的採访完毕,正当志良乘坐车从柴湾道入赤柱之时,监听警察通讯频道的收音机响起,原来在大潭道发生交通意外。
志良见反正顺路,於是促司机快马加鞭,汽车在依山势伸延的道路上飞驰,不久果然见到山谷凹位之处,有辆的士(即计程车)卡在山崖边,车头已凌空,车身摇摇欲堕,看来快要跌下去似的。
志良见机不可失,远处已用长镜头拍摄着失事的汽车。
直到公司车到达现场,司机见状立即跑去失事汽车的车头看看,然后再检查车尾的油箱有没有漏油。
志良仍手不离相机,把司机救人的情况一一拍摄下来。
当志良走近失事汽车的时候,吓得连相机也跌落地上,原来自己一家大小都在车箱内。
妻儿见到志良立刻激动起来,而志良也管不得危险,把身体伸入车箱,想抱儿子出来。
汽车那里经不起摇晃,一下子滑到深谷里。
一声隆然巨响,的士发生爆炸,志良跌坐在山边呆呆地看着山谷下燃烧着的汽车。
不久,警车、救伤车纷纷赶到,可惜已没有人能救活了。
事发后,志良在警局录完口供后回报社交差。
李老总一见到志良便问:「大潭道车祸,影到甚么相?赶上头版,几时交稿?」志良顿失家人,那有心情写稿,更不想自己家人惨死的相片刊载在报纸上。
李老总:「你不想干,可以!我叫其他人写,只要你交出菲林便成。
快!快!快!赶着排版。
」拗不过李老坚,他只好把菲林交出,跟着再请了一个星期大假。
休假回来的志良工作热忱已大不如前,没过几天便辞职。
事后,志良有一点不明白。
本来,妻子应该驾驶自己的汽车才对,为甚么会一家坐的士。
家人理应一早已入赤柱,其间又有发生甚么事使行程延迟?在离职之前,志良坐在自己的写字桌收拾私人物品,此时,沖晒部派人送来一叠他所拍的照片。
志良原没有心情再看,正想把相片丢进废纸箱之际,瞥见其中一张照片,令他大惊失色。
那一张相片是当天志良在远处拍摄出事汽车车前半部分架在半空中。
由於对焦不准,有点模糊,但明显见有一个人影按住车尾。
志良记得当时现场没有旁人,他们是第一批赶到的人。
志良急忙地翻阅其他相片,发现所有远处拍摄得照片都有这个人影,但是近摄的相片,这人影却不见了。
看真一点,那人影的动作像是在推着车尾,像是想令车子快些滑入深谷。
志良把照片给看同事,如果志良说明,同事还以为真有其人。
自从志良离开了大报以后,再没有人见过志良。
有人说他在某专爆名人阴私的杂誌当记者,有人说他已移民外国。
随着日子逝去,志良的人和事渐被淡忘。
事隔一年,某日各大报馆均收到匿名传真,说有某酒店在半夜将会有大事发生,请派员到场採访。
结果到了半夜,某酒店果然有事发生,主角竟是李老总。
原来,李老总一直向妻子佯称到外地公干,其实暗中在酒店幽会情妇。
这段婚外情已有近一年的光景,今次李老总又想照办煮碗,以为可以瞒天过海,但今次却被发妻撞破奸情,在酒店房间捉奸在床。
李老总一手推开揽在怀里的情妇,正想向妻子解释时,妻子二话不说已夺门而去。
衣冠不整的李老总追到酒店大堂截住妻子,正在纠缠之际,一大班记者忽然涌现,把李老总夫妻团团围住追问何事。
李老总妻子见事情已曝光了,索性向记者揭露李老总的奸情。
李老总为了摆脱记者的纠缠,返回报社避避风头,思巧对策。
此时,整层写字楼黑漆漆一片,只有座落一隅的老总办公室还亮着灯。
李老总好生奇怪,这个时候员工早该下班,还会谁胆敢闯入老总房。
李老总推开房门,赫然看见大班椅上坐着一人。
在昏暗的灯光之下,李老总认出那人正是志良。
志良说:「『大报老总偷食唔抹咀,婚外情酿伦常惨案』这标题上头版如何?你曾说过许多人想见报都求之不得,今次轮到你呢!」李老总说:「是你害我吗?我跟你有甚么深仇大恨,我要你不得好死!」「多得你关照,我才有如此下场。
如果不是你要求震撼性照片,我也不会拍那么多死人相,结果一家不得善终。
」「这是甚么意思?」「你记得一年前的大潭道车祸吗?」「年中交通意外何止千宗?我怎可以记得那么多呢!」「那场车祸我全家死光却不是意外!其实,我所作的孽应在我家人父母身上…」「你发甚么神经?报甚么应?那是你的事情,又何苦扯到我身上,我又没有叫你採访那单新闻?你说不想跟那单新闻,我又没有为难你,我们也支足薪金给你。
你要明白吃得鹹鱼抵得渴嘛,做传媒就是这样子,怪不得谁!你快点走,要不然我叫警卫揹你走。
」李老总拿起电话筒,正想按警卫室内线。
一只手轻轻触及他的手背,心中一阵寒意冒起,连忙缩手;瞥见志良面无血色的脸孔,看到他怨恨的眼神,吓得魂不附体。
接着志良说:「别忙着,我还未说完。
那天的车祸是给我拍过相片的死人所化成的怨魂所干的,其中有些相片经由你属意登在头版,让大众看到他们惨死模样。
现在他们就在你身后,你可以跟他们打过招呼。
」李老总回头一看,看到在灯光微弱的不远处,无声无色的团团围着几十人,有些是穿西装的年青人,有些作地盘工人打扮,有老人家、小孩子、学生、护士、运输工人,诸色人等。
他们全都木无表情,眼睛都集中看着李老总。
「那么,做场法事,超渡他们,好不好?」「太迟了,他们已变成游魂野鬼,一心想报仇。
你作的孽已不能由你一人承担,正如我一样,灾祸已延及你的家人。
」说罢,有一个十二、三岁的年轻人从黑暗中走到李老总跟前,开口说:「爸爸!你为甚么要对不起妈妈?他很快来找你。
」突然间,电话响起。
李老总拿起电话筒接听,电话另一端的人说:「李老总?我是记者陈,刚收到警方的无线电通讯,说你发生命案。
你太太杀了你儿子,然后割脉自杀。
你太太现在抢救当中,你快些赶来看看….
