Hearing Shen Qiang's words, not only did Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant freeze, but Ye Guyun was also in a daze. The charming Wenren Meiqiao looked at Shen Qiang in shock and said, "What did you say? Didn't you say that there are still many doubts in this matter that you haven't figured out? And now you're telling me that you can pinpoint that Blood Clan member?"Shen Qiang smiled: "Knocking down a wall doesn't mean I need a hand as big as the wall."
Wenren Meiqiao's expression was peculiar: "I don't quite understand."
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Nothing in the world can be understood completely down to the smallest detail, not in cases, and not in life. So as long as you know where the key point is, you can always take action."
Wenren Meiqiao looked at Shen Qiang with enigmatic eyes and said, "Just from a few conversations, you already know where that person is?"
"Pretty much." Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Everything is based on our previous deductions. We previously deduced that this person uses bacteria to infect the white-collar workers in the office buildings, intending to watch them die slowly."
"This means that the person is right in the business district."
"If that's the case, we can temporarily set other clues aside and just follow this line to investigate."
Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant looked at Shen Qiang with some embarrassment and confusion: "But what about the Listening Tide Bar and Jinli Qianning? Didn't you say they were also suspects..."
"Yes, they are crucial, with many doubts. Investigating them could yield many clues, but it would be labor-intensive, and overly complicated clues can lead us to circle around endlessly."
With a raised eyebrow, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So don't let all those distracting clues blind you. Our goal is clear, which is to drag out that bastard who's infecting others with bacteria. Everything else can be pushed to the back."
"If that's the case, then since we are already certain that the person is in the business district, we just need to go there and find him, then verify our other doubts with him."
"This way, it will be very simple to clarify the whole affair."
"But if we now investigate Listening Tide, go after Jinli Qianning who might know or might not know, it will undoubtedly be a waste of time and energy."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Makes sense. But the problem is, the business district is vast, with nearly a million people there. How should we investigate?"
"Intersection!" Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Those infected by the bacteria, though they belong to different companies in different buildings, are all in the business district. The person intending to kill them must have business dealings with them."
"After all, unless this guy is crazy, he can't randomly infect a stranger."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant took out a laptop and started typing furiously.
"I've recorded all the workplaces of those infected, so as long as we list their companies and find related companies..." As she spoke, Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant trailed off.
Wenren Meiqiao became curious and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are too many involved companies, it seems it will take some time," said Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant.
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao said, "Have someone else handle it, you eat first. After the meal, there are many important things waiting for us to do."
The female assistant, hearing this, hastily sent out a message.
Then, feeling relieved, she took a deep breath and looked at Shen Qiang with delight in her eyes, saying, "Consultant Shen is indeed impressive. We've done a lot of investigations before, but clearly overlooked these critical issues. Now, with just a few words from you, the confusion has cleared up, and this guy has nowhere to run."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao gazed coyly at Shen Qiang and laughed, saying, "You cunning devil, you're full of clever schemes." She said this while seemingly worried that Shen Qiang hadn't eaten enough, piling his plate with more grilled meat and vegetables and said charmingly, "The able work more, you eat more, because once something unexpected happens, you might not have the chance to eat for a long time."
Shen Qiang smiled, eyes crescent-shaped, "At your service."
"In that case, we should focus our investigation in the business district over there. But what about Qianning's matters? I remember you previously asked me to ask Qianning to help you, and I also heard that you fought her father, the Great Sea Demon, at Medicine King Valley." Wenren Meiqiao looked at Shen Qiang teasingly.
Hearing this, Shen Qiang inexplicably became tense, because he knew that when Sea Demon King Yu Jiang left, he made it clear he agreed to help, but said if one wants to obtain the Divine Corpse, it's impossible without Jinli Qianning's assistance.
Although Shen Qiang didn't ask in detail at that time, nor did Sea Demon King Yu Jiang explain, Shen Qiang could guess that Qianning probably possesses some peculiar ability.
So now, if there is still something Shen Qiang fears.
It is undoubtedly the fear of damaging the relationship with Qianning.
"Yes, it's complicated. If you enjoy stories about two men fighting out of jealousy, then I don't mind sitting down and talking with you slowly."
"Nalan Tianyu from the Demon Taming Department, it's not like I don't know her. That person is the oddest one in the Dragon Group apart from Qian Shanxue, always mystical, summoning divine beasts whenever there's a fight. I'm not interested in her matters," Wenren Meiqiao pouted.
Shen Qiang wanted to laugh and genuinely wanted to ask her, if she's not interested, how could she know so much?
But simultaneously, Shen Qiang inexplicably thought of Qian Shanxue, who never liked using the front door.
"Perhaps, she's about to return, she still needs to come to reclaim her mask."
Thinking this, Shen Qiang was inevitably a bit distracted.
Meanwhile, Wenren Meiqiao and her assistant focused on the case, and Ye Guyun was just eating, so for a moment, the private room fell silent, and everyone quietly ate their food.
Until more than twenty minutes later, when everyone had almost finished eating, Wenren Meiqiao's female assistant's phone suddenly rang.
Shh!
Her female assistant signaled everyone to be quiet and immediately answered the phone, her eyes full of joy.
"Got it, nicely done." After saying this, she hung up the phone and looked at Shen Qiang with excitement, saying, "We've found it. According to your thinking, we indeed found the only company that has intersections with those infected people, and that's the Golden Radiance Consortium!"
