Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 49 Cannibalism
An hour later, Cao Yang arrived at the wilderness where Zhou Zheng could stay.

"There's not even a decent house. How can supernatural things happen here?"

After getting off the car, Cao Yang looked around, but this was actually a wilderness without even a village. It was truly a deserted place.

"Interesting, is there something here that only Zhou Zheng can find, but I can't?"

Cao Yang slightly opened the ghost den, covering the area of ​​several meters around him, but everything was normal here, and there was no supernatural aura.

"Torn clothes, the smell of blood in the air, and a piece of bone residue. It looks like a human finger?"

After groping for several rounds, Cao Yang finally found something.

"Is it an ordinary murder case? Or a supernatural incident?"

The bloodstains on the dirt ground had dried up, but that did not prevent Cao Yang from identifying them.

"The cut on the clothes is very smooth. It doesn't look like it was torn open. It looks like it was cut directly by a sharp object like scissors."

"It's a reasonable guess, but it's still missing some details. It would be best if we could intercept a call, of course without exposing ourselves."

"I checked with my own methods and there are no bodies nearby. This means that this is either a corpse dumping site or..."

Wang Xiaoming did not deny it, but Cao Yang did not say anything. He was very familiar with the ghost baby. The initial stage of the starving ghost grew up by eating people. If Zhou Zheng was highly influenced by the evil ghost, it was not impossible that he really ate people, not to mention that there was a Zhao Kaiming behind the scenes.

Cao Yang started a video call with Wang Xiaoming as soon as he got off the car, but the other party turned off the microphone and no sound was heard.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoming analyzed calmly.

"Alas, I didn't get anything good from this business trip. I wasn't even given a car."

"There are too few clues to make a conclusion. Since Zhou Zheng is staying here, it means he must know about this incident. If it is an ordinary murder case, then where is the body, and why did a finger bone suddenly appear?"

Forty minutes later, Cao Yang returned to the urban area of ​​Dachang. Zhou Zheng's home was in an ordinary residential building in the old city. However, he seldom went home and usually spent the night in the office building.

"Professor Wang, what do you think?"

"I didn't say that. I just had a suspicion. If it was a wild beast, it would definitely not eat it so cleanly, and it would definitely leave a mess. But there is nothing here, which can only mean that someone deliberately disposed of the body."

Cao Yang stood up and then carefully used the Ghost Den to screen the surrounding environment.

"It seems reasonable that ghost riders eat people, but it is too early to jump to conclusions. This idea can only be considered as the worst outcome."

"There's not much valuable information here. I'll take a few photos and send them to you. If you have time, you can try to analyze it. If not, forget it. I'm going to go back and try to intercept Zhou Zheng's call."

Cao Yang hung up the video call, took photos of the scene from multiple angles and sent them to Wang Xiaoming, then stopped a private car. The driver agreed to give Cao Yang a ride at the temptation of extra money.

"You mean cannibalism?"

"I just checked, the torn clothes were not caused by supernatural means. I tend to think it was caused by physical means, such as a kitchen knife or an axe, because there are bloodstains and some human tissues at the cuts on the clothes."

"If it was a supernatural incident, there shouldn't be a body without one. Also, a ghost killing someone wouldn't necessarily leave bloodstains, let alone clothes."

"The Twin Towers are quite impressive."

Cao Yang came to the landmark building of Dachang City - the Twin Towers, where Zhou Zheng usually works. However, this place is open to the public, and he only used one floor as his office area.

Cao Yang found a random seat in the reception area on the first floor of the building and began to debug the high-tech device.

There was a noise of electricity coming from the headset.

"Evening.School"

After several adjustments, Cao Yang actually intercepted a frequency band signal during a call.

“Sizzle~!”

The signal is not very complete and seems to be interfered by something.

"When will your plan start? I ate another person today, and I can feel that thing in my stomach has grown a little bit bigger."

It was a violent voice, but Cao Yang didn't know Zhou Zheng, so he couldn't confirm the identity of the owner of the voice, so he had to record the whole thing.

"What's the hurry? People who achieve great things don't care about small matters. What's wrong with eating a few people? You think it's easy for me to deal with that ghost thing, right?"

This was a cold voice that sounded dangerous. It was obvious that neither party in the conversation was a good person.

"Zhao Kaiming, you'd better not challenge my limits. If the evil things in my stomach really come out, neither you nor I will have an easy life."

The key information appeared. The other party was Zhao Kaiming. The identity of this person was also very clear. It was definitely Zhou Zheng. Cao Yang's expression became solemn, and he carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

"Why are you so impulsive? Let me tell you something. That thing can grow. Do you understand? The stronger it grows, the stronger you will be."

Zhao Kaiming went on to say that he seemed to know a lot about the ghost baby that Zhou Zheng was controlling.

"Growth, and then what? The stronger it becomes, won't I die faster?"

Zhou Zheng's anger was almost uncontrollable. He just wanted a method to delay recovery, but it seemed that Zhao Kaiming had no sincerity in cooperating.

"Tomorrow night, find a crowded place, let the little devil loose, and let it eat as much as it wants. I will make a wish to keep you alive."

Zhao Kaiming spoke again, with almost no emotion in his words, and he did not care about the lives of ordinary people at all.

"Are you crazy? You want me to kill ordinary people with just a bunch of empty words? Why should I believe you?"

Zhou Zheng almost roared this sentence, and even Cao Yang, who was eavesdropping, felt that his eardrums were about to explode.

"Believe it or not, you have already set a precedent. The ghost thing will calm down as long as it eats a person. I believe you know this better than me. And you are the one who controls it, not it. You can't be confused by this now, right?"

Zhao Kaiming snorted coldly, not caring about Zhou Zheng's anger at all.

"I've thought of a reason for you. The location is chosen to be at school. Students are all smart. I know you can't bear it, so you can use the excuse of teaching safely to tell them those three sentences frankly. Whoever believes it or not is their business. Even if only one or two out of ten people believe it, they have a high chance of surviving."

"By then, with my wish, it will never be out of your control, and you will be able to delay your recovery successfully."

"Okay, that's it, think about it yourself."

After saying that, Zhao Kaiming hung up the phone, leaving Zhou Zheng alone in deep thought.
