Chapter 68 - Cannibal

Chapter 68: Cannibal

The news was posted on the Internet around 7 AM this morning. There were also a few photos of the scene, but they were all heavily pixelated. However, there was still a sense of horror that made one’s hair stand on end.

Sharon was a small white-collar worker in a financial company. For a financial practitioner, paying attention to the news every day was a basic professional accomplishment,

She had just finished a form that day, so she opened her phone to look at the news.

“Baby Soup? What is this? Soup for babies? Can babies drink soup?” As a mother-to-be, Sharon immediately clicked on the news. She would read anything baby-related because she was preparing for her baby, who would be born in a few months.

It was a video of a reporter interviewing a sanitation worker. The sanitation worker was standing in front of a trash can.

“These scumbags are too inhumane. They’re really animals. When I saw them, I was so scared that I almost fainted. Look, my hand is broken. That baby is only about one or two months old. There’s also an adult’s head! The flesh on my body was all eaten up. At first, I thought it was an abandoned pet, like a cat or dog. But when I saw the small hands and feet, and the two human heads that had been boiled, I almost fainted. It’s too scary. This is cannibalism! What kind of scumbags can do such a thing!”

When the video was played here, blurred pictures appeared on the screen. Sharon was stunned. This was completely different from what she had imagined, and for a moment, the image of a human’s head being boiled in a pot and being eaten as human meat soup appeared in her mind.

“Urgh...Wah wah...”

Sharon bent down and started vomiting violently.

“Too cruel! Too inhumane! Is this still human?!”

Soon, in less than an hour, there were more than 10,000 comments under the news article.

“F*ck! Who did this? Is he even human? People like him should be run over by a car!”

“Is there any humanity in this? Is there any bottom line? I can’t believe that someone would do such a thing! Why do they have to eat people? I’m so angry!”

“Let’s beg the police to catch the murderer. I really want to see what kind of person would do such a crazy and abnormal thing! If I catch him, I’ll chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!”

“Even dogs wouldn’t want to eat that kind of scum!”

“It would be better to beg the Death Inquisitor for help directly than to beg the police. Last time, when the case of organ trafficking was brought up from the abuse of the homeless, wasn’t it solved by the Inquisitor? This crime is about eating human flesh. Shouldn’t the Inquisitor make a move?”

“Yes, I also beg the Death Inquisitor to make a move!”

“Petition the Death Inquisitor to take action!”

“Only the Death Inquisitor can truly uphold justice in this city!”

“Don’t be anxious. Perhaps the Inquisitor has already taken action!”

...

The matter continued to ferment. After another two hours, it was already a trending topic on various major online platforms.

Because of this matter, the members of Task Force Zero, who had originally been off work and resting, all returned to the police station. Ross, who had been a police officer for many years, told them that he had an announcement and that this matter was related to the case they were currently investigating.

“Have you eaten lunch? I’ll order takeout. Do you want to eat pizza?” Bowman asked.

“Don’t include me in the count. I can’t eat,” Judy said.

Monica said, “Don’t include me too. I can’t eat either!”

“Even if I eat anything, I’ll probably just vomit it out. Don’t buy for me. It’ll be a waste of food,” Hart said.

“Willie, what about you? Do you want to eat pizza?”

Willie covered his stomach and said, “Don’t count me in. I ate earlier this morning. I just went to the toilet and threw up. I have no appetite now.”

“No way. You’re so strong and mighty. People who don’t know you would think you’re a felon. Why did you throw up?” Bowman widened his eyes and asked him in surprise.

Willie helplessly said, “I’m strong, but I’m not a forensic doctor, and I’m not a pervert. I’m relatively normal. The police psychiatrist said that I’m very healthy.”

“...”

Everyone in the office looked helpless and didn’t know what to say.

Ross said, “Don’t say so much. Hurry up and investigate whatever clues you have and continue trying to solve the case. I have a feeling that the Death Judge will start broadcasting live again.”

“I have the same feeling!” Anthony said. Besides Ross, he had been working in the front line for the longest time. It was not strange for him to have the same intuition as Ross.

Anthony explained further. “But I was thinking of another thing. Could we have gone into the wrong area? You should know that the Death Inquisitor is best at confusing people and muddling their minds. I think it is very likely that the Death Inquisitor is not one person, but a group of people!”

Ross answered, “It’s possible. It would be very difficult for just one person to complete such complicated tasks in such a short time. It’s very likely that they are a group of people working together. Moreover, they are very tacit and efficient, which is why they are always one step ahead of us! I hope that this time, we can be ahead of him or them! Immediately search all the houses and buildings around the crime scene. It would be impossible for them to go so far at night just to dispose anything they have used in the broadcast. They must be near a garbage disposal facility!”

“Yes, sir!”

At that moment, Gardner, who had seen the news on his phone, was completely flustered.

He opened the encrypted chat app on his phone:

“F*ck! Didn’t I tell you guys to behave yourselves and not do anything! How did you guys throw the rest of the soup in that trash can! It’s not something that you can just casually thrown into a trash can! You guys are a bunch of idiots! Idiots!”

“It’s my fault. After tasting the human flesh soup last night, Madeleine kept it in the toilet. If I had waited a little longer, this wouldn’t have happened. But I didn’t throw it downstairs. I walked two rows south. There were no cameras around.”

“Is that kid sick? I had diarrhea after eating it last night. I’m responsible.”

“Don’t say so much. You guys just move and get on it immediately. Don’t stay there. Leave New York City now. Don’t come back until the storm is over!”

“What about you? What will you do?”

“I’ll wait and see. If there’s danger, I’ll leave New York too. This discussion group will be disbanded from now on!”

Gardner sent the last message and directly uninstalled the software.

Meanwhile, in Jack’s apartment...

Jack was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression on his face. In front of him on the system interface, information on seven people was popping up on the screen.

As he was reading through their crimes, Jack’s expression became even more sinister.
