Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

Zhang Jingtian memorized the name Huai Yalin, with a premonition that he and this person would likely meet.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to investigate the security guard's death.

Both he and Director Tang knew this very well.

Thus, Tang You'ai made an exception and brought Zhang Jingtian to the place where the security guard's body was stored.

This place was located underground in the Public Security Bureau, cold and gloomy.

As soon as he walked in, Zhang Jingtian felt as if he had entered an ice cellar.

"What do you usually put here?"

There, only a bed was present, and on the bed lay a corpse.

Someone once so familiar. Zhang Jingtian could still remember how he looked when he spoke with the security guard that day, and even more so, he remembered the spirited way he looked when he first came to rescue their community.

But now, the security guard had become a cold corpse, which made Zhang Jingtian feel endless唏嘘 (a sense of sadness, regret, or lament).

However, he roughly looked at the security guard's body and didn't see any extra wounds.

It seemed like he really died by hanging himself, and there were no other hidden circumstances.

"Sigh," Zhang Jingtian sighed: "I really wish all of this was just a dream. He can never wake up again, right?"

"Yes," Director Tang's tone was very serious: "People cannot be brought back to life once they die. If you really want to revive him, you're very likely to backfire and make him a member of the Scourge Army."

Zhang Jingtian immediately explained: "Director Tang, don't worry, I can still distinguish right from wrong. I was just saying it casually, I don't have any thoughts of reviving him."

"Then let's just look at the phone! Solving this matter as soon as possible, so that the security guard can rest in peace, should be the only thing we can do for him."

Seeing Zhang Jingtian's sincere attitude, and that he didn't seem to be joking around, Director Tang continued:

"I'll hold his phone later, and you can watch from the side.

I'm worried that there's something wrong with this phone, it will definitely affect you."

Zhang Jingtian knew that Director Tang was concerned about him, so without saying anything, he agreed.

Then he stood behind Director Tang and watched him take out the already sealed phone from the cabinet.

After opening the bag, it was just a very ordinary phone. Even Zhang Jingtian, who was so sensitive, didn't notice anything wrong.

He frowned, feeling that there was something wrong in the middle.

Could the key be the data cable?

Director Tang turned on the phone. The lock screen had already been violently cracked, and the security guard's privacy before his death was exposed.

However, Zhang Jingtian and Director Tang didn't have the slightest intention of peeking at other people's privacy. They were both just looking for something wrong.

Their first reaction was to look at the photo album.

After all, in most horror stories, photos are often the biggest problem.

But after they flipped through the album, there was nothing unusual at all.

One could only see that the security guard was a person who loved life.

He took pictures of flowers, plants, scenery he passed by, and cute cats and dogs every day.

Such a person really didn't seem like the type to commit suicide after being hit by something.

"Do you still want to keep looking?"

Director Tang was almost certain that there were no clues in this phone.

Continuing to look would be disrespectful to the security guard.

But Zhang Jingtian was still unwilling: "What social media app did he usually like to use? Just open it and take a look."

Director Tang hesitated, but after all, Zhang Jingtian was the one who discovered the clues, and he didn't have the position to refuse the other party's words.

"Okay, let's both take a look."

The moment they opened the security guard's social media app, Zhang Jingtian and Director Tang were stunned.

Because after opening the app, what they saw was not the familiar app interface at all.

Only the content of a group chat occupied the entire phone screen, with countless malicious remarks scrolling:

[He's dead, that trash is dead! Another trash is dead, great!]

[Who's next!]

[It's you, you should die too! You're so fat, and you don't pay attention to your image. What's the difference between you and a pig? No wonder you can't find a partner!]

[Yeah, you're ugly, fat, and have no career. You're over thirty and haven't been in love. You're just wasting air by living, you might as well die!]

[You might as well die!]

A new round of screen scrolling began.

Even though it was a chat across the internet, Zhang Jingtian could feel that the malice seemed to have permeated from the screen.

At this time, Director Tang's expression underwent a dramatic change.

Unexpectedly, the leader of this incident was actually a group chat.

To be honest, this was the first time they had encountered the Scourge Army using this method to bewitch people's hearts.

It could be seen that even the Scourge Army was starting to keep up with the times.

"Immediately find someone to thoroughly investigate the source of this group chat!"

After putting down the phone, Director Tang looked at Zhang Jingtian: "Not bad, your thinking was right. The key really was the phone."

However, Zhang Jingtian was no longer in the mood to be proud of discovering the key to the problem. Instead, he said worriedly: "But, I always feel very uneasy about this matter."

"Director, this kind of thing spreads very quickly on the internet. I estimate that many people have already been hit. The security guard was still a card creator and couldn't control it, let alone ordinary people?"

Director Tang nodded: "Yes, I will immediately notify the people in the Network Security Department to block these problematic group chats. And we will issue an announcement to the general public, telling them not to click on strange links!"

Zhang Jingtian hummed: "But this time, can we trace the source of the Scourge Army's ghost?"

The usually confident Tang You'ai didn't even dare to guarantee it this time.

"Actually, it's quite difficult. This is also the first time we've dealt with a ghost that controls people's hearts through the internet.

This guy must be very cunning. When we start blocking the group chats, he should notice something is wrong and then run away."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingtian was very unhappy.

Could it be that the security guard died so unclearly?

At this time, Tang You'ai patted him on the shoulder: "Let us handle the follow-up of this matter! Ghosts that can kill people in this way are not simple. You should focus on preparing for your studies.

By the way, given that you found the key clues for us this time, I will give you 100 reputation points as a reward."

This was indeed something to be happy about, but Zhang Jingtian was still thinking about avenging the security guard.

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Jingtian made a bold decision.

He was going to wait for the rabbit to come to him.
