Thanks to the intelligence foundation laid in the previous round.

Gu Ji's start in this round could be described as a "perfect hand", with not many close contacts on the cruise ship. With just a few more rounds of system screening, the virus spread could be completely suffocated, allowing him to complete his ultimate mission.

So.

The only remaining target he had to deal with was: the hidden mission.

To fully understand the truth behind this crisis, he must start with the two main culprits and Morioka, who was specifically killed by Ishiguro.

On the other end of the phone.

Watanabe Yoshi was silent for a moment, seemingly surprised that the intelligence Gu Ji requested to exchange was so simple.

But he did not hesitate, and said in a very sincere tone: "Alright, sir, we will do our best to bring you valuable intelligence!"

By the afternoon.

A group of protesters suddenly appeared near Yokohama Port, with bandages on their heads, holding banners and signs, displaying slogans such as "Don't let the virus ashore" and "Please return Yokohama to a safe home".

Some cruise ship family members saw this and started cursing immediately, resulting in a heated argument between the two parties.

For this reason, Tanamura Katsushin urgently convened a discussion meeting and included Gu Ji in the form of a phone call.

"There is currently no antigen vaccine for the Yezo virus. In my opinion, for the safety of Yokohama residents, we should resolutely wait until there are no more patients before lifting the cruise ship lockdown."

"Wouldn't this be too cruel to the tourists and their families? Half of the tourists on the Platinum Star Cruise Ship are non-Japanese."

...

The experts in the meeting, like those online, divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.

Tanamura Katsushin suddenly spoke: "Miss Jian, what do you think?"

As soon as this name was mentioned, the arguments stopped abruptly. They all knew Gu Ji as the mysterious member of the code-named 7472 unit that was revealed today, and everyone pricked up their ears, eager to see what special abilities he had.

Gu Ji was sitting on a chair in the lobby on the first floor of the cruise ship at this moment.

He thought for a moment:

"I believe we need to first improve monitoring, epidemiological investigation, isolation medical observation, and sample collection and testing, focusing on leaving the virus nowhere to hide and preventing its spread."

"Secondly, the cruise ship should have three partitions: lockdown, management, and prevention. For the treatment area and medical isolation observation area for patients, strict closed isolation should be implemented resolutely, while for non-close contact tourists, it is only necessary to restrict gatherings."

"The Yezo virus has a short incubation period, sudden onset, and transmission relies on direct contact with body fluids, secretions, etc., with a severe case mortality rate of about 10%, which is relatively easy to control.

His plan is indeed the most perfect solution at the moment.

It prevents the virus from leaking while also taking care of tourists who have not had close contact.

However, the premise of implementing this plan is that the Yezo virus must truly be as Gu Ji described.

It should be noted.

The Yezo virus is a newly mutated virus with very few natural infection cases, yet its mortality rate is terrifyingly high, and all specific information has yet to be studied.

"Mr. Nakajima, what do you think of this plan?"

On the phone, Tanamura Katsushin asked another person.

"I am surprised at this lady's understanding of the Yezo virus. Currently, all the data our research team has experimented with on mice is basically consistent with what she said. I agree with this plan."

It turns out that Mr. Nakajima is the responsible professor for the Yezo virus research group at Hokkaido University, invited by Tanamura.

Gu Ji remained indifferent.

He certainly understands this virus very well, after all, in the last round he thoroughly experienced two waves of virus outbreaks, with four to five hundred close contact patients, over one hundred and sixty infected, and more than forty severe patients.

All these clinical data are real, far more accurate than the conclusions drawn from laboratory experiments with mice.

"Alright, then let's implement Miss Jian's plan!"

Tanamura Katsushin made the final decision.

A day passed, and by the next afternoon, Gu Ji finally received a call from Watanabe Yoshi.

"Your intelligence judgment is indeed accurate, Ito Meiyu, Ishiguro Yonezawa, Morioka Aoki, these three people who seem unrelated, actually have deep social backgrounds entangled."

Right from the start, Watanabe Yoshi flattered him, then meticulously recounted all the results of his investigation over the past day.

The source of everything is a middle-aged man named Ito Seishin.

That's right, he is Ito Meiyu's father, and also the person in charge of raw food preparation in the kitchen of the Platinum Star Cruise Ship.

The hall that Gu Ji inquired about in the previous round, who had no knowledge about raw food, had just taken over Ito Seishin's position.

As for Ishiguro Yonezawa, he was a disciple brought out by Ito Seishin.

Watanabe Yoshi discovered this through a case at a police station in Tokyo, reported by Ishiguro Yonezawa, who sued Mr. Morita for violating labor laws.

The details recorded in the dossier are not many. The general idea was that half a year ago, Ito Seishin fell ill and left his job due to work-related reasons, but Mr. Morita refused to pay compensation.

"So where is Ito Seishin now?"

"He's dead."

"Dead?"

"Yes, died over half a year ago, the cause of death was excessive intracranial bleeding."

"What about Ito Meiyu's mother?"

"She also died, similarly from excessive bleeding, with a time of death five days apart."

Watanabe Yoshi continued: "That's right, I had someone investigate the hospital that issued the death certificate and found that the manner of death of these two was somewhat peculiar, it wasn't just intracranial bleeding, there were..."

"Large areas of red rash and bleeding on the body, nasal and perianal bleeding, is that right?"

Gu Ji suddenly spoke.

"Uh...yes!"

Watanabe Yoshi's tone fluctuated, seemingly unable to understand how Gu Ji could describe it so accurately.

Yezo virus!

Ito Meiyu's parents died from the Yezo virus infection!

"Due to the death of her parents, Ito Meiyu underwent a personality change, and even visited a psychological clinic for a while. Later, she applied to switch her research group from epidemiology to Yezo."

"As for Morioka Aoki, I checked his financial transactions. There were several transactions totaling nearly a billion yen, all from a person named Matsuo, who is closely related to a farm factory in Hokkaido that produces inferior beef..."

"Immediately seal off this factory and quarantine all related personnel."

Before Watanabe Yoshi finished speaking, Gu Ji impatiently interrupted him.

"You mean..."

"The root cause of Ito Seishin and his wife's death stems from Morioka's procurement of beef from this factory, which likely contained the Yezo virus, and this is the reason for Ito Meiyu's attack on the cruise ship!"

"I'll investigate immediately!"

Watanabe Yoshi's tone instantly turned cold.

...

Two days later.

Non-close contact tourists were finally allowed to disembark, rushing through the control line and hugging their family members tightly.

But Gu Ji did not leave with the crowd. Instead, he walked into a suite on the top deck.

Two armed chemical soldiers stood at the bedroom door. After receiving confirmation from higher authorities, they allowed Gu Ji to enter.

Inside.

Similarly, there were two chemical soldiers and two police officers on guard, while Ito Meiyu, with handcuffs on, sat in utter despair on the large white bed.

Her fair skin bore numerous purple bruises. Gazing at her vacant eyes, Gu Ji took a deep breath:

"I know your father was infected with the Yezo virus through the inferior beef purchased by Morioka, and even your complaint to the police station was suppressed, without even receiving death compensation. But now, Morioka, the factory, the hospital, and the police station, have all been apprehended by the anti-terrorist unit and Police Headquarters."

"However, you should not have let this resentment implicate the lives of over 3,700 people on the cruise ship, nor should you have used Ishiguro Yonezawa's feelings for you to commit crimes and murder."

Upon hearing these words.

Ito Meiyu's eyes, like a dead pool suddenly rippling, she swiftly raised her head, staring at Gu Ji, with her distorted dislocated right hand clenching the bed sheet, her whole body trembling.

"I hope you can let go of your hatred, that's all I can do."

As he said, Gu Ji extended his hand, offering a photograph, which happened to be the family photo from Ito Meiyu's suitcase.

This was an application he discussed with Watanabe Yoshi, as resolving the root cause is the quickest and most effective method for complex antisocial personalities.

The three in the photo, so happy and harmonious, and Ito Meiyu, embraced by her parents in the center, wore such an innocent and radiant smile.

She received it, gently caressing, tears fell, pattering onto the photo, "Arigato (thank you)..."

[Hidden Objective: Uncover the truth behind the corpse-killing cruise ship completed!]

[Proceeding with level settlement statistics...]

Upon hearing the notification, Gu Ji's vision was once again shrouded in a gray filter, gradually dimming.

And just as he was about to leave his body and switch to a third-person view.

Ito Meiyu, who was looking down and caressing the photo, suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Ji, her eyes widening, and a creepy and sick smile stretched across her mouth: "A...ri...ga...to..."
