Chapter 1485 - 1488: Wenren Meiqiao's Divergent Thinking
Just as Shen Qiang's blow hit her, and Wenren Meiqiao started seriously thinking, in the office hall, many Dragon Group employees looked at each other, with eyes full of teasing and subtle smiles, and began whispering among themselves."Listen closely, there's no sound at all in the office. I figure that after Shen Qiang's harsh words, he is as helpless as Wenren Meiqiao, the two of them are just staring blankly at each other now; otherwise, he would have already been boasting."
"Ha, you don't even need to guess! If he really had a solution, he wouldn't be dragging it out until now. Those two, they're quite a pair of fools, with lots of bizarre ideas but questionable abilities."
"Yes, Shen Qiang is just relying on his alchemy skills, with those few little demons under his control. Ha, he still puts on airs in front of us and supports Wenren Meiqiao. Ha, watch them sit there looking defeated until nightfall, with no progress."
"Hahaha, I can already predict that Shen Qiang will end up saying, 'It's not the army's incompetence; it's the enemy's cunning!'
"I'm dying of laughter, these two are hopeless."
At this moment, in the office, Shen Qiang, with a smile on his lips, put down the tablet in his hand and thoughtfully looked at Wenren Meiqiao, who was deep in thought.
She seemed to feel Shen Qiang's somewhat teasing and provocative gaze.
Sitting behind the office desk, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she said in a low voice, "Don't look at me with those eyes."
Shen Qiang laughed and raised an eyebrow indifferently, "You'd better come up with some insightful comments; otherwise, you can just wait for those colleagues outside to make fun of you."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao glared at Shen Qiang with fierce eyes, "I have been thinking carefully about the natural transmission modes of filariasis. It's usually mosquito bites or blood injections. Patients say they didn't feel any mosquito bites or have any injections, so I have indeed overlooked some issues."
"But just now," looking at Shen Qiang, Wenren Meiqiao said very seriously, "I suddenly remembered you said last time that mites can also transmit filariasis. So I'm wondering, in seasons without mosquitoes, whether the suspect used this point."
Wenren Meiqiao's eyes suddenly brightened as she turned her computer screen, showing a map with several markings.
"I carefully searched around the hotels beside the HD business district, and to my amazement, there are many hotels, inns, and day rentals. If this suspect placed prepared mites on the luggage in these accommodations, then when guests check in, they would be infected by those mites."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes also lit up.
Seeing Shen Qiang's joyful expression, Wenren Meiqiao suddenly felt confident, using a 'come on, praise me now' look at Shen Qiang.
And right then, Shen Qiang burst into laughter.
"Interesting, but you overlooked a detail, which is that the hotels and inns around HD business district generally cater to outside merchants coming to stock up goods. If they were really acting as you imagine, using these accommodations, then there is no way the patients would all be in Beijing when they fall ill."
"Moreover, looking at the cases, whether it's the primary level patients or those recently discovered, even if they are not registered in Beijing, they are all long-term Beijing residents. This clearly proves that your hypothesis is wrong."
Instantly, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes darkened, and she said, "Oh," with a sigh, thinking to herself.
"Is it still not working? Maybe besides fighting, I really can't do anything else."
Feeling suddenly insignificant, Wenren Meiqiao seemed frostbitten, looking utterly defeated.
But at this moment, Shen Qiang laughed, saying calmly, "Though your hotel hypothesis is unreliable, I can't deny that your analysis is reasonable. Filariasis eggs and larvae are only 1.4 micrometers; they can indeed silently spread through mites' mouths. Therefore, I have reason to believe that mites are transmission vectors."
In a moment, Wenren Meiqiao was stunned, then asked in astonishment, "You agree with my perspective?"
"Why not? Without mosquito bites or injections, mites themselves are tiny, an undoubtedly reasonable and unpredictable transmission tool. I only deny the location you mentioned."
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes immediately brightened, "So you're saying I'm half right?"
Shen Qiang smiled, "More than half because identifying the transmission vector is key. With this deduction, finding him won't be difficult."
Instantly, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Mites as transmission vectors, then the method of spreading mites, aside from those hotels, is to mainly find other methods to find that guy."
Shen Qiang nodded, smiling, "Then next, let's take a look at the characteristics of those patients."
Wenren Meiqiao was puzzled, "The characteristics have already been mentioned: they don't know each other, have no shared hobbies, different professions, don't live together; public transportation, public transportation..."
"Among thirty cases, twenty-seven are female, three are male." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Do you understand?"
Wenren Meiqiao shook her head, totally confused.
Shen Qiang laughed, then said with a smile, "Then we can combine these details to approach the problem. First, the HD business district, where women who love beauty and cleanliness come into contact with something, something that made them infected with mites carrying filariasis eggs."
"Dolls! Cute soft toys! It must be this!" Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes shone brightly, she said in surprise.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Do you really like those dolls sold at the mall? That's really unexpected, but actually, those plush toys in malls, especially the standout white ones, are not allowed to be touched randomly because they're afraid of dirt. So even if buyers usually touch through the packaging bag but mites surviving on plastic bags seems unlikely?"
Wenren Meiqiao was dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes blinked at Shen Qiang, full of doubt.
Seeing her seemingly questioning whether she's intelligent enough, Shen Qiang sighed helplessly, "There are no merchants among those patients, so it's highly unlikely they went to those specialized wholesale places in HD business district."
"In other words, they probably ended up in some boutiques, during which they discovered something that delighted them, compelling them to touch..."
"Pretty adorable pets!" At the moment, Wenren Meiqiao exclaimed in shock.
