Chapter 1477 - 1480: The Whereabouts of the Divine Corpse

At the moment Wenren Meiqiao said those words, Shen Qiang also furrowed his eyebrows, because in his view, this matter wasn't overly complex. The female classmate who got infected with the filarial worms, if the Dragon Group investigates and traces her daily activities, they should definitely find clues. After all, in this world, behind any accidental occurrence, a careful investigation can reveal the inevitable connections.But now, after Wenren Meiqiao's investigation of nine patients, she was still clueless, which meant the situation was not simple.

No shared hobbies, unfamiliar with each other, not living in the same neighborhood, and no intersecting lives, then there are only two possibilities behind this.

One is that they do have some intersection, and were infected because of it, but the details were overlooked, unnoticed by the patients themselves, so during the investigation, they knew nothing.

The other possibility is that the person hidden behind the scenes is unexpectedly cautious and meticulous.

He knows what he is doing, has planned everything, and leaves no chance for anyone to investigate him.

If it's the latter, this person is by no means ordinary.

Seeing Shen Qiang furrowing his brows in silence, Wenren Meiqiao felt slightly awkward but still looked at him expectantly and said, "So, I want to know if you have any leads over there?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang slightly raised his eyebrow and then calmly said, "I'm not entirely sure what exactly you have investigated or how you conducted it, but the infected couldn't have been infected out of thin air. Carefully reviewing their life trajectories will certainly find the reason for the infection."

At this moment, Wenren Meiqiao had a look in her eyes that seemed to say, "What you said is useless nonsense."

"Of course, that's just the case for ordinary infection cases. But if we assume that these patients were deliberately infected with Gu, and these filarial worms were cultivated, then there's a place that might provide you with some clues."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Wenren Meiqiao's beautiful eyes lit up with excitement and she said, "What place?"

"The research institute for parasitic diseases," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Nowadays, this is the legitimate profession for many Gu Masters. And if my hypothesis is correct, then the characteristic of this person should be very cautious, knowledgeable about parasite cultivation, and has some understanding of Gu. Additionally, he should be well aware of the various reactions of those patients, and he might have anticipated that someone would come to investigate once these patients were discovered."

"So approaching from this angle might make it easier to discover some traces." Seeing Liu Mei frowning slightly and Wenren Meiqiao deep in thought, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "And I believe my judgment is correct, because it's so obvious."

Surprised by his comment, Wenren Meiqiao said, "You think it's the work of a Gu Master?"

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not sure, but the possibility is high. As for whether my judgment can be verified, that's your issue."

Hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao rolled her beautiful eyes coldly at Shen Qiang and then said with a hint of sarcasm, "Well, saying it is like saying nothing. I thought you really had three heads and six arms and could pinpoint the suspect directly."

Shen Qiang laughed, "If the Dragon Group agreed to move all of Heshenghe here and allow my three hundred little demons to infiltrate the Provincial City thoroughly, I suppose that guy would have been caught already. Unfortunately, now that I'm in Beijing, I'm just a commander with nothing in hand, besides suggestions, I can't offer you anything."

Wenren Meiqiao raised an eyebrow, "Well, you can leave now."

Shen Qiang laughed, kicked back, and, sipping tea, said, "Don't dream about it; I haven't even enjoyed a free lunch yet, and you want to chase me away? There's no such easy matter in this world. Besides, aside from this issue, I also want to discuss with you the Divine Corpse wearing the flower crown found in the Ancient Tomb."

"Ancient Tomb?"

Upon hearing this, Wenren Meiqiao chuckled and looked at Shen Qiang with a look that seemed to say how ignorant he was, smiling warmly, "Oh, I really didn't expect you to know about the Ancient Tomb. But do you know there's a woman inside sleeping on a rope? She has a lover named the One-Armed Hero Yang Guo, and they're accompanied by a giant eagle."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Oh, really? So, you're saying the Divine Corpse isn't in the Ancient Tomb, but somewhere else. I said she was wearing a flower crown, and you weren't surprised at all, which means you really know her. So let's lay our cards on the table and sincerely discuss matters concerning the Divine Corpse."

Wenren Meiqiao's face immediately darkened, then she angrily said, "Shen Qiang! You were setting me up?"

Surprised, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and then laughed, "How is this a setup? It's just simple reasoning. I mentioned the Divine Corpse is in the Ancient Tomb, clearly, I was wrong. So you were smug and started to ridicule me, talked about the One-Armed Hero and the big eagle, and you didn't refute it's the Divine Corpse with a flower crown, meaning these two points are characteristics you agree with."

"Therefore, I am quite certain you indeed know where the Divine Corpse is." His eyes suddenly lit up like Bianyi's smile, and said, "So, I think we can talk about trading now."

"Get lost!" Wenren Meiqiao said with a deep and serious face, "No trade, no leads. I won't divulge the location of the Divine Corpse to someone as sinister and shameless as you."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Wenren Meiqiao, we're all adults here, can't we be a bit more open-minded? Besides, my purpose for finding the Divine Corpse is to revive her and save her. As the saying goes, saving one life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda!"

"Ha!" Wenren Meiqiao rolled her eyes coldly and scoffed, "Sounds reasonable, but unfortunately, I'm not a Buddhist, so you can go now. Give it up; I will never tell you her whereabouts."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned, then smiled, "Let's not speak so harshly; I believe everything in this world has value. As long as the price is right, anything can be bought. Furthermore,"

"You and I both should know there are no absolute secrets in this world. As long as you find the right people, any secret can be unraveled. So if you're really smart, why not just be straightforward? Name your price; all I want is the Divine Corpse."

"Dream on!" Wenren Meiqiao said angrily, "You might be right; I might not be the only person in the world who knows about this affair, but I assure you, you will never find others in the know. So if you wish to obtain the Divine Corpse, wait for another lifetime!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled, casually raising an eyebrow, "Wenren Meiqiao, don't take it so seriously, and don't forget, I am the King of Demons. I'm still young and have all the time in the world. Even if you don't tell me, my little demons can turn the earth over to search every corner of this world and dig her out."

Wenren Meiqiao laughed, raising her eyebrows lightly, "Alright, you can try. If you manage to dig her out, I'll concede!"
