Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

"Director Tang, if you report this, how long will it take for someone to be sent from above?" Zhang Jingtian asked curiously.

After all, the leaders of District Nine had just left. If they had left a little later, this matter would have been much simpler.

"I don't know," Tang You'ai's expression wasn't so optimistic.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, he was very clear about the harm this incident caused.

However, for the leaders, they only have one standard for judging whether something is urgent.

That is, whether many people have died.

Zhang Jingtian hummed in agreement: "But the clues are broken. Let's continue to investigate the sashimi supplier!"

"Okay." Tang You'ai's idea was also very simple. They would report the matter while continuing to track it down themselves.

After he sent the message to his superiors, Tang You'ai remembered the young men in his team.

He wondered how they were progressing.

So Tang You'ai picked up his phone and sent a message to one of them:

"How is the investigation going? Is there a problem with the cake shop owner?"

The other party immediately called Tang You'ai, instantly sobering him up.

"No problem."

"The boss seems to have mixed up the orders. The one with meat was originally ordered by someone else as a prank."

Tang You'ai's expression clearly showed disbelief. A prank?

He knew very well that the piece of meat in the cake was human meat. Who would use human meat to play a prank?

They actually believed it so easily, which made Tang You'ai even more suspicious.

He even began to suspect that his subordinates had probably been caught.

He frowned, but in order not to alert the enemy, he said in a low voice: "Since there's no problem, hurry back to the bureau. There's something else to discuss."

Their Public Security Bureau had a lot of good things. If they really had a problem, coming back would be a dead end.

"Director Tang, can you wait a moment? I, I'm so hungry right now."

Several voices shouting about being hungry came from the other end of the phone, as if they hadn't eaten for months.

Hearing this, Tang You'ai completely confirmed that his subordinates had also been caught.

Although their highest rank was only Silver Card Master, and even their star rating was not as good as Zhang Jingtian's,

they had dealt with many abnormal events and were experienced, yet they had still been caught.

If ordinary people were in their place, wouldn't they have no resistance at all?

Seeing Director Tang's worried expression, Zhang Jingtian knew that this matter was not that simple.

He was afraid it was over.

He sighed and said in a low voice:

"Director Tang, did something happen to them?"

He knew that if nothing had happened, Tang You'ai wouldn't be sighing all the time.

"Most likely. Let's go to the cake shop first."

Zhang Jingtian thought for a while: "How about I go to the sashimi shop first? Director Tang, I know it's dangerous for me to go alone, but you've also seen that these shouldn't be the real source.

They are ordinary people who have been contaminated and don't have much combat power. The more troublesome thing is that they will lure you to eat their meat and then become like them.

But Director Tang, you've also seen that my Heroic Spirit and I haven't been affected much."

Tang You'ai recalled for a moment, and it seemed that was indeed the case. There were already many strange things about Zhang Jingtian, so Tang You'ai didn't find it strange to have one more.

He hummed in agreement: "In that case, you must be careful. If something unexpected really happens, run away immediately."

Zhang Jingtian nodded. He wasn't the kind of person who would risk his life.

Walking on the road, Zhang Jingtian stroked his chin, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Why is it all related to eating?

Could it be that in the beginning, someone accidentally ate something dirty from the Scourge Legion, which triggered everything that is happening now?

Then the source…

Zhang Jingtian suddenly remembered the sensational incident of abusing stray cats and dogs in the park before.

Could it be that that person was the first to eat something dirty?

Because after eating that thing, they seem to be particularly hungry and eat frantically. Then it develops into eating their own meat.

Finally, they try to find ways to get others to eat their meat in order to complete the spread.

The more Zhang Jingtian thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he discovered that the sashimi restaurant was not far from that park.

⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Said ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Looking at it this way, the possibility is even greater.

Zhang Jingtian didn't think much about it and rushed to the restaurant that supplied the sashimi without hesitation.

Because the original poster had directly named this restaurant when posting, its business was very bad.

When Zhang Jingtian walked over, there wasn't even a single person inside.

As soon as he entered, the sighing proprietress excitedly walked over: "What would you like to eat?"

Zhang Jingtian smiled: "Boss, I'm not here to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jingtian was angrily chased out by the boss.

"I've said it so many times, my family doesn't sell human meat at all! That person is deliberately slandering us. Why don't you believe it!"

The proprietress shouted at the door, as if she was seeking justice.

Zhang Jingtian looked at the proprietress. There was indeed no signature strange fragrance on her body.

Shouldn't it be?

Or rather, she's fine, but there's a problem with other people in the restaurant.

So Zhang Jingtian stood up and then smiled at the proprietress:

"I'm from the Public Security Bureau."

As he spoke, Zhang Jingtian took out the Public Security Bureau's license that Tang You'ai had given him.

With this thing in hand, no matter what he was investigating, they had to cooperate.

Even if the proprietress was an ordinary person, she knew these rules, so she could only reluctantly let Zhang Jingtian in.

"Officers from the Public Security Bureau, I really didn't kill anyone. I, I don't even dare to kill a fish! I'm just a shopkeeper. It's not easy for ordinary people to make money!"

Zhang Jingtian raised his eyebrows: "You don't kill fish, then who kills fish?"

"It used to be a distant cousin of mine, but he took leave and left two days ago, saying he wasn't feeling well, so my husband has been doing it recently."

Zhang Jingtian suddenly understood: "Then have you and your husband eaten the food made by your cousin?"

The proprietress felt strange. Did this matter have anything to do with sashimi?

But she still shook her head: "Of course not. My cousin can't cook. He just has good knife skills. And he has a fishy smell on him. Even if he buys something, I find it very disgusting."

Zhang Jingtian was relieved, "If he comes to find you, don't let him in no matter what, and notify me immediately. Your cousin is likely no longer human."
