Seeing me staring intently at the screen on my phone, Wang Yong asked, "Master Zuo, have you discovered anything?"
"Oh, nothing found."
I zoomed in on the picture and examined the pesticide bottle closely. Suddenly, my pupils contracted sharply.
“This filthy thing probably hasn’t escaped, and it probably wouldn’t dare to come out during the day,” Wang Yong said from the side.
"Okay, send me the surveillance footage from the past few days. I'll take a look when I get back," I said casually, handing the phone back to Wang Yong.
"Okay." Wang Yong took the phone, added me on WeChat, and sent me the surveillance video.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Wang Yong hurriedly said, "There are no cars around here. I'll take you home on my motorcycle first, and then my wife will take you back."
"Okay." I nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, send me the surveillance videos from your house from the last few days."
Although Wang Yong was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He opened his phone, searched through his phone, and sent me a video.
When I got back to Wang Yong's house, I got into his wife's old van. After telling her I was going back to Dafeng Village, I leaned back in my seat, took out my phone, and opened the surveillance video of the chicken farm.
I skipped to 1 p.m. and found the footage again. The person in the surveillance video was Zhang Guangyin from the courier station.
I never thought it would be him. I thought if someone wanted to get back at me, it would be Deng Xiaohong. I never expected Zhang Guangyin to get involved as well.
Was this instigated by Deng Xiaohong, or is there some connection between the two of them?
Although the bottle Zhang Guangyin is holding is a pesticide bottle, it's quite old. Most importantly, when I zoomed in on the picture, I saw a little bit of red stuff on the cap of the pesticide bottle. If I'm not mistaken, that's blood.
I know Zhang Guangyin's situation very well. Apart from his job at the courier station, he has no other businesses. Moreover, given his personality, he would never come to a place like this to do farm work for someone else.
When combined with his recommendation that I help Li Yan catch ghosts, everything makes sense.
What I can't understand is why he did this. I thought our relationship had improved after I helped him get rid of the female ghost in his house, but I never expected that he had ulterior motives beneath his smiling exterior.
I continued watching the video. Zhang Guangyin disappeared for half an hour and then reappeared on screen. However, when I saw him again, he was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he looked like he was in a hurry. The pesticide bottle in his hand was gone.
After the surveillance footage finished playing, nothing suspicious was found until I arrived.
I turned off that video and started watching the video of the intersection near Wang Yong's house. When I got to 12:30 pm, I saw a car. I quickly paused the video and zoomed in.
I saw a Reiz sedan, and I recognized the license plate number immediately; it was Deng Xiaohong's car.
It turns out that these two guys were behind all of this, luring me here and then letting that ghoul deal with me. What was their purpose in doing this?
After thinking it over and over, I still can't understand why Deng Xiaohong would do this, and even drag Zhang Guangyin into it.
"Master Zuo, thank you so much for this!" Li Yan suddenly said.
I snapped out of my thoughts and asked, "Sister Li, how did you find me?"
“It was someone else who introduced me.” Li Yan paused, then continued, “Yesterday at noon, someone called me and said they knew a very powerful mage and asked me to go to the courier station to find Zhang Guangyin.”
"Do you know the person who made the call?" I pressed.
“I don’t know him. He’s using a landline. Judging from his voice, he’s a man, and he seems quite young,” Li Yan said slowly.
My eyes narrowed. If I'm not mistaken, the person who called Li Yan was very likely Deng Xiaohong. What exactly are they trying to do by using the corpse demon to deal with me?
You want to kill me?
But that doesn't make sense; I have absolutely no grudge against them.
"Master Zuo, what's wrong?" Li Yan suddenly asked.
"Oh, I'm fine." I shook my head and looked out the car window.
At 1 p.m., Li Yan took me back to the courier station.
I went inside, got on my electric bike, and headed towards Dafeng Village.
When I got home, my fifth grandfather was taking a nap. As I returned to my room, my cell phone suddenly rang in my pocket.
I took it out and saw that it was Zhang Guangyin calling.
