Chapter 1487 - 1490: Motive and the Suspect's Interests
Looking into those sly yet confident eyes gazing at him, claiming to have seen through his tricks but clearly informing him that the Divine Corpse was in the sea, Shen Qiang smiled, because at this moment, not only did she look confident, amid the heroic spirit, a trace of girlish charm emerged, making her appear truly beautiful.But if she really thought Shen Qiang only had this much ability, then she underestimated him.
And just as Shen Qiang's lips curved into a mischievous smile, Wenren Meiqiao's phone suddenly rang, and Shen Qiang clearly saw her face drastically drop as she answered the call.
A moment later.
Wenren Meiqiao hung up the phone somewhat disappointed and said with a confused look.
"We seem to be already late. The officers said that those mall surveillance tapes last only a week at most and some only for three days. They've already reviewed them roughly but found no trace of the old man with the rabbit cage."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang's smile grew even brighter. He then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Seems like you've encountered a big problem, and so have I. Suppose you can solve my problem, then your problem ceases to be a problem."
At once, Wenren Meiqiao's eyes widened in shock at Shen Qiang and then angrily said, "You guessed earlier that he couldn't be found in the surveillance, didn't you?"
Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "Right now, I'm more interested in the stars and the sea!"
"Scum!" Wenren Meiqiao exploded with anger, "We are currently facing a massive and unstable risk, yet you want to use this matter to exchange for the location of the Divine Corpse?"
"If you think I'm trying to make a deal with you, then you're underestimating me. I said we both have troubles, just reminding you that you're the Regional Security Chief, and I'm merely a consultant." Shen Qiang said calmly, "So you can choose to speak or not regarding the location of the Divine Corpse, but I've pretty much guessed its exact location now. Only by telling me could you save me a lot of trouble."
"I won't say. I absolutely won't break my oath." Wenren Meiqiao angrily replied in a cold voice.
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "You're the Regional Security Chief, what you need to do now is use your brain, sift through all clues, without surveillance video as evidence, and find that criminal suspect."
"How is that possible?" Wenren Meiqiao questioned, "Even if we've deduced everything, without video evidence, how could we possibly find the suspect just through simple thinking?"
Looking at the angry Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow and smiled, "There's no love or hate without reason, this sounds a lot like a signature on a QQ profile of some non-mainstream youth."
Looking at the stunned Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang smiled calmly, "I believe that's really true. So, as long as you clarify the suspect's motive for the crime, who he is will be clearly revealed, completely apparent, and easy to capture."
Wenren Meiqiao paused, staring dazedly at Shen Qiang, surprised, "Clarifying the motive reveals the suspect?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "A young girl tragically dies on the street. If you're sure the killer's motive is jealousy over love, then among her male friends, certainly, the killer is one of them. As for passersby, naturally, there's no need to investigate them."
Wenren Meiqiao said, surprised, "That seems logical, but the problem is, motives are limitless in possibilities. How can we know the suspect's purpose just by sitting here imagining, apart from witchcraft, I can't think of who could possibly achieve that."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Actually, you've already done it before, but busy with self-denial, you once again overlooked some details."
Wenren Meiqiao was shocked, then angered, "I didn't overlook the details! You're trying to trick me into revealing the location of the Divine Corpse, but I won't fall for it, because you have no reason to sincerely help me."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows with a smile, then leaned back comfortably on the sofa, lazily saying, "From the start, I said, don't forget I'm the Security Advisor for the Dragon Group. If Beijing becomes a mess and panic occurs everywhere, my restaurant won't make money, and I can't happily date girls."
Looking at the vigilant Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang calmly looked at her, "Furthermore, if the Dragon Group's Regional Security Chief turns out to be someone lacking capability, that'll trouble me greatly. Not only that, I enjoy sparring with experts like it's chess. But if the opponents play too poorly and lose in three moves, winning wouldn't make the game fun."
With a wicked smile at Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang calmly said, "You're Dragon Group's eternal second place, dissatisfied during promotion matches, hence your opinion towards me isn't great. But if you're only at this level, you don't even qualify to be my opponent."
Wenren Meiqiao coldly said, "Shen Qiang, don't get too arrogant!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, calmly spread his hands, "I like seeing you not pleased with me yet helpless against me. So come on, it's time for you to prove yourself. I'll give you one last hint, you found him before."
Wenren Meiqiao frowned, looking bewildered at Shen Qiang, hesitantly, "I found him before?" Seeing Shen Qiang nod, her eyes immediately filled with confusion, "Impossible, I really still don't get it, how could one find a suspect just sitting in the room."
Looking at the suspicious Wenren Meiqiao, Shen Qiang helplessly sighed, his entire demeanor becoming somewhat disinterested.
"Indeed, sparring with Bianyi is more interesting, comparatively, Weisheng Zhimei also has more appeal."
Seeing Wenren Meiqiao frowning, Shen Qiang helplessly said, "You mentioned before, there are many hotels and inns around the HD business district."
Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao was stunned, furiously slamming the table, "Shen Qiang, are you teasing me? Wasn't that already confirmed as faulty reasoning?"
Shen Qiang helplessly raised his eyebrows, "In terms of modus operandi and motive, those hotels and inns were indeed faulty reasoning, we made it very clear. If the suspect committed the crime in a hotel or inn, then those infected would manifest throughout the country, not just in Beijing."
"Exactly, so that's a wrong assumption." Wenren Meiqiao said angrily.
Shen Qiang helplessly sighed, looking at the already nearing angry outburst Wenren Meiqiao, speaking in a tone tinged with slight sadness, "Did you really think about it seriously? Don't you understand? Striking from a hotel or inn is far simpler than strolling around the mall with a rabbit hoping for luck."
"The only reason the suspect refuses to do so can only be because if patients nationwide manifested the illness, it wouldn't benefit him and wouldn't align with his interests."
