Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1460 - 1463: Thinking Like the First

The female subordinate who heard this looked at Wenren Meiqiao with eyes full of surprise. Wenren Meiqiao seemed to have been revitalized, full of high spirits, and said in astonishment, "Major General, Shen Qiang is the King of Demons, he's so capable, even if he wanted to do something bad, he would have countless ways to achieve it, why would he use this method..."The beautiful and heroic Wenren Meiqiao, with sparkling eyes, replied, "Perhaps Shen Qiang wouldn't, but he is the King of Demons, with countless minor demons under him. Maybe this disease was spread by one of his minor demons."

"The doctor mentioned that the disease is transmitted through mosquitoes and insects. Although there are no mosquitoes this season, what if it's fleas or something similar from a demon's body? Could this be the real source of the infection?"

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao's female subordinate was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's possible, but I still feel that you seem to be too focused on targeting Shen Qiang."

Wenren Meiqiao's eyes flashed, then she smiled and said, "The suspicion on him is quite substantial. He is the King of Demons. After he arrived in Beijing, a disease appeared that doesn't normally occur this season. If we don't conduct an in-depth investigation, how can we know if this matter is unrelated to Shen Qiang?"

The female subordinate still felt something wasn't quite right.

But at this moment, the energetic Wenren Meiqiao said, "Start the investigation, first identify the common points among these patients. Since you don't believe this matter is related to Shen Qiang, find the real culprit to prove your judgment is correct."

The female subordinate was taken aback, "Major General. Me?"

"Yes, you are fully responsible. If you can't find the real culprit, I certainly won't forgive you!" Wenren Meiqiao revealed a slight smile.

...

In the following two days.

Wenren Meiqiao, along with her female subordinate, focused intently on researching lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as 'rubber leg', and conducted detailed investigations on nine patients.

This included their professions, home addresses, whether they had pets, any common hobbies, if they had relatives traveling out of town, and whether there were any common intersections in their lives. However, the result of the investigation left Wenren Meiqiao exceptionally disappointed.

Because these nine patients had different professions and their home addresses were spread throughout the city.

Only one of them had a pet, and it was a goldfish.

As for common hobbies, they were completely unrelated.

Some loved gourmet food, others movies, some enjoyed online games, and there was one who claimed to love traveling but hadn't left the city in twenty years.

Regarding intersections in their lives, apart from living in the same city, they had no interactions whatsoever.

Such investigation results even made Wenren Meiqiao have to admit that all of this seemed to mock her, as if she was overthinking everything.

Not only that.

Later, when two doctors discussed the disease further, they pointed out that lymphatic filariasis has an incubation period of four months to a year, which disheartened Wenren Meiqiao. It was entirely possible that these patients contracted the disease in the summer or autumn, and it was only now manifesting.

So, two days of exhaustive investigation made it seem as though Wenren Meiqiao was being foolish.

"Haha, it's laughable. The higher-ups sent us this second general, and they're just here to amuse us, aren't they? Investigating 'rubber leg' disease all nervously. It's laughable. With so many hospitals in Beijing, practically the medical center of the country, even patients with some means come rushing here. What can she possibly find by investigating this?"

"Yeah, yeah, what's more amusing is that she asserts with such confidence that someone must be spreading this disease intentionally. It's hilarious, it just makes her seem crazy."

"If she were sane, could she stay the perennial number two? Competing against Qian Shanxue so many times, even if she closed her eyes and relied on luck, she'd win once, right?"

After two exhausting days with no results, Wenren Meiqiao had just walked out of her office when she heard snickers from the Dragon Group's clerical staff outside.

"Good morning, General!"

A Dragon Group member quickly saluted, and the previously gossiping few immediately turned serious, focusing on their work with saint-like dedication, looking busy and giving the impression of being too occupied to talk.

Wenren Meiqiao's face was extremely gloomy, but then she took a deep breath and said, "I know what you think, and I know how you see me, it's okay, I don't care at all. Do your work well. If anyone wants to bring the trouble to themselves, don't doubt that I can do so at any time!"

After speaking, ignoring the people pretending to be busy, Wenren Meiqiao walked out. Just as she stepped out of the office hall, she could faintly hear the lively gossip behind her.

"Tch, acting all high and mighty, pretending to be smart, but really just a fool. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. With such a large population in our district and continuous events involving Cultivators, if they're going to appoint a supervisor, they should appoint someone more competent. Sending this supervisor here, with no abilities, just trying to put on airs in front of us. I just smile sarcastically in response."

"She came from the Combat Team, what do you think she can do? Sure, she's better at fighting, but in terms of wisdom, she's far behind!"

"Haha, everyone, be more tolerant. She is the perennial number two. We shouldn't be too harsh on her. But to be honest, not targeting anyone, if it were Qian Shanxue here, the situation definitely wouldn't be like this."

"Yes, if it were Qian Shanxue, there's no way she'd foolishly waste time investigating something non-existent, neglecting the important matters."

"Haha, she's the perennial number two, be understanding. If she were really capable, she wouldn't be number one already!"

Wenren Meiqiao's face was very cold, she took a deep breath, and then walked out of the Dragon Group's Beijing branch office area.

When she got to the underground garage.

Getting into the car, she leaned back tiredly in the seat, quietly pondering.

A moment later, a female subordinate who had accompanied her hurried into the car, with a frown on her face, Luo Mei said, "General, even though there's no concrete evidence, I increasingly feel like this lymphatic filariasis is definitely not a coincidence."

"Enough!" Wenren Meiqiao, seated in the driver's seat, interrupted, "This matter might have been my mistake from the start. I'm the area safety Chief of the Dragon Group, not a private detective. Let's put this matter aside for now."

The surprised female subordinate said, "General, we've just gotten some leads, and you're giving up?"

Wenren Meiqiao let out a long breath and said, "I suddenly wondered, if Qian Shanxue encountered this situation, what would she do." Looking at the amazed female subordinate beside her, Wenren Meiqiao coldly said, "If it were her, she wouldn't have paid attention to this from the beginning. So now, investigate it slowly, and let's handle what we should do first."
