Chapter 1486 - 1489: Confirming the Divine Corpse Is in the Sea
Looking at the surprised and shocked Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to pets, there are many kinds, such as golden pythons, lizards, little turtles, goldfish, large Tibetan mastiffs...""Impossible!" Wenren Meiqiao interrupted with bright eyes, then while quickly flipping through the patients' files, she said, "Twenty-seven patients are ordinary women. They couldn't possibly be interested in a golden python, and if it were in the boutique area of the mall, bringing those animals would definitely not be allowed."
Leaning back on the sofa, Shen Qiang laughed, "Very well, we can continue consolidating the situation. In the HD shopping district outside the wholesale area, a woman shopping discovers a cute, small, seemingly harmless little thing, which she really likes. Then she touches it, leaves, and forgets about it. So what could it be?"
"A dog, it must be a dog!" Wenren Meiqiao swiftly flipped through the records, her eyes blazing with shock as she said, "A Tibetan mastiff is too big and fierce; mall security wouldn't allow it, nor would anyone touch it. It could be a husky—no, a husky is too big as well."
"It's a small pet. If not a small breed dog, then it should be a little rabbit!" Wenren Meiqiao lifted her head with bright eyes, looking at Shen Qiang in shock, "Among the thirty patients, eight claimed to like small animals, but none of them had pets."
While speaking, Wenren Meiqiao called the patients in the hospital. Moments later, with bright, shocked eyes, she looked at Shen Qiang and said, "I called and asked, and those patients admitted that while shopping at the mall, they saw a particularly cute white little rabbit. They picked up the rabbit, but when they tried to take it away, an old man, who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, stopped them, saying the rabbit was his."
"And he had a rabbit cage with him, so the patients returned the rabbit to the old man."
"That's the case with all of them?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Wenren Meiqiao said, "I asked four people, and they all confirmed this."
Shen Qiang laughed, leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of the now cold black tea, and said, "Very good. In that case, congratulations, Major General Wenren Meiqiao. You've found the suspect because, considering everything, the entire case is now basically clear."
"That old man placed filarial larvae or eggs on the cute little rabbit and released it in the mall. That way, when someone sees and likes the little rabbit, they will pick it up, and then the old man retrieves the rabbit and leaves. In the entire process, nobody would think much of it, nor would anyone realize that touching that cute little rabbit could make them sick."
"Even when an investigation occurs afterward, they wouldn't associate it with the little rabbit. So now, I feel it's necessary to congratulate you because, given the current situation, this is indeed the most reasonable hypothesis. So, as the person in charge, you should exercise your authority."
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Wenren Meiqiao, with an excited gleam in her eyes, wasted no time sending a cooperation notice to all the police officers near the HD shopping district, detailing an investigation of a suspect endangering public health. The description is a male, aged between 60 and 70, approximately 160–170 cm tall, frequently seen near the HD shopping district, carrying a cage with a little rabbit.
After sending the cooperation notice, Wenren Meiqiao specifically communicated with the police department, requesting their help to retrieve surveillance footage from various malls in the HD shopping district.
After taking care of these matters,
She excitedly saw Shen Qiang leisurely drinking tea on the sofa.
Seeing Wenren Meiqiao looking at him, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Major General Wenren Meiqiao, you're indeed very capable. Identifying filariasis as unusual from a mundane conversation shows a sharp sixth sense. You're intelligent, just lacking a bit of confidence in a new environment. But now, you should be much better. At least you should understand that you're not incompetent; sometimes, self-doubt causes you to lose direction."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao, who was excited and ecstatic, calmed down and looked at Shen Qiang in good spirits. Then, with slightly furrowed brows, she said, "Shen Qiang, if you want to mock me now, I'll allow you one sentence, because I know the only reason I found the answer is due to your conscious guidance."
Shen Qiang laughed, "You've probably heard of the term 'choking under pressure.' It tends to happen during top-level competitions, not because the competitors lack ability."
"After all, those who make it to such prestigious events are incredibly skilled and have undergone numerous selections. When they underperform or make serious mistakes, it's often due to self-doubt, anxiety, and inability to focus."
"So whether you wish to continue as the regional security chief or return to the Combat Team, you must realize that in life, one's greatest enemy is oneself. When you believe you can't do something, then you definitely won't."
"Conversely, if you believe you can, you will think seriously, and no trick can truly deceive you, nor any problem can leave you helpless, including Qian Shanxue."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes lit up with joy, and her fair, slender hand mysteriously clenched into an adorable fist. Not only that, but while sitting on the sofa calmly drinking tea, Shen Qiang's usually unappealing demeanor gradually seemed more handsome in her eyes.
"Thank you, Shen Qiang. If it weren't for you, I think I might have soon tendered my resignation as regional security chief to the Dragon Group."
Looking at the grateful Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, if you feel I truly helped you, don't just thank me; tell me the whereabouts of the Divine Corpse. Although my people have started a thorough search of all lakes and reservoirs in Huaxia, that clearly requires a lot of time, so why not just tell me which lake it's under, and we can all save trouble."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes curved with a smile as she said, "Little Shen Qiang, you want to trick me with the same tactic? You underestimate me. But I can clearly tell you, you're right; the Divine Corpse is indeed in the sea, but I won't tell you its exact location."
