readx;? The three people in the room, except for Meng Qi, were all in a state of thought, although they still thought that Meng Qi was a little too nervous, but they all involuntarily fell into Meng Qi's thinking field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it is clear that Meng Qi is too isolated to give them more enlightenment, nor can he closely connect the events that took place at these points in time.

"Damn it, Meng, I didn't notice anything unusual at all at all these points in time...... Joe Smith shouted.

Mark Dujon and Reggie Jackson also looked at Meng Qi, waiting for his answer.

"Then I'll sort out the relationship with you, and I'm sure you'll find out. Meng Qi smiled, "The inaugural issue of "Superman" was launched on November 19 last year and ended on December 24, during which other magazines and comic companies were waiting and watching, and none of them launched their own superheroes. ”

"That's right. Mark Dujon is very familiar with the comic book market and nods his head in agreement with Meng Qi's statement.

Meng Qi continued: "But it is clear that Superman's huge success has attracted everyone's attention, and I believe that in this month or so, there must be comic companies that have begun to prepare their own superhero comics......"

"Why?" asked Joe Smith.

"It's simple. Meng Qi replied, "Let's just look at the time when the first superhero comics of other comic companies will be released...... Reggie?"

Reggie Jackson immediately replied: "On January 3, 2008, the Black Knight Comics, also based in San Antonio, launched Alien, the first superhero comic book other than Frank Miller, and the main character of the comic book is from an alien ......planet like Superman."

As the vice president of AC Comics, I am very familiar with the situation of these competitors.

"So what? what does that mean?" asked Joe Smith.

"From the end of Superman to the release of "Alien", there are only 9 days in between, do you think 9 days is enough for the whole process from comic creation, drawing to printing?" Meng Qi asked rhetorically.

Joe Smith suddenly realized "oh", then glanced at Meng Qi again, and secretly thought in his heart: This kind of thing, except for you, the pervert, I'm afraid no one can do it......

"Then, after 'Alien,' there was a blowout of superhero comics, and by the time I left the U.S. Commonwealth on January 29, there were at least 50 different superhero comics on ......the market in just one month," Meng continued.

"In addition to the superheroes of our AC comics, there are 68 superhero comics on the market...... "Reggie Jackson quickly reported the number of preparations, "According to statistics, there were 50 new superheroes in the first half of January, and only 18 ......in the second half of the month."

Meng Qi nodded in affirmation and said, "What's more, these superheroes are all male ......"

"So what? so what?" said Joe Smith, a little agitated.

Mark Dujon also shook his head at this time and said: "Mr. Miller, I still don't understand, what are you trying to say......"

Meng Qi said: "The post on the Redit forum appeared after I left the United States, and when the post appeared, I was still on the plane, and then it was the time when Woman magazine went on sale, according to tradition, this magazine should be listed on the second Saturday of each month, but this year's February issue, it was brought forward to the Saturday of the first week, which is the third day after the post appeared, February 2. It's abnormal, isn't it?"

"It should be normal for a magazine to adjust its release time, right?" said Mark Dujon, who was half a magazine man, and voiced his opposition at this time.

"That's right, but for Woman magazine, it's very abnormal, I looked at the last ten years of Woman's magazine listing time records, only three time adjustments, more importantly, the other two were due to heavyweight writers' delays, and the time was adjusted, only this time, they were released early, for no reason, ......"

Mark Dujon and Joe Smith looked at each other and seemed to notice something unusual.

"And, most notably, for Woman to go public on February 2, it would have to be printed at least three days in advance for their large circulation...... What does this mean?" Meng Qi looked at the three people in the room.

Mark Dujon's eyes widened and he said slowly, "Say that Karin Jenny's critique should have been written before the forum post?"

This is an obvious inference, in addition to the time when the magazine is printed, there is also the time it takes for the magazine to typeset, and there is also the time for the editor...... The article that pushed the whole incident to a climax was actually formed earlier than this time?

Too weird, right?

"But it's also possible that Karin Jenniven was quick to read a post on the Internet and put pen to paper as soon as she saw it, and then it was written very quickly, and then just in time for typesetting and printing?" Joe Smith was a little dumbfounded, but he still said a possibility.

"It's possible ......" Meng Qi did not dwell on this topic, but said: "Then, on February 5, local time in the United States, demonstrations broke out...... This time is also very strange, because February 5th here is February 6th in Huaxia...... It happened to be the Chinese New Year's Eve night in China, and even I would enjoy the most important festival in China for several days in a row......

"You mean, these times are scheduled, and the demonstrations are just the right time for you to be the most relaxed?" Joe Smith quickly thought of the question.

"Yes, it's very likely. Meng Qi nodded and said, "This time is really well chosen, I didn't know the news until February 13, Huaxia time, since the debate between men and women appeared on the Internet, it has been half a month...... Half a month, enough is enough for a lot to happen, the cities of the initial demonstrations have changed from New York and Miami to the current nine cities...... How long did it take to organize those demonstrators? I don't know, but I do know how fast the demonstrations are spreading!"

"It's all speculation!" cried Joe Smith, holding his forehead.

"It's really just speculation, but it's also a possibility...... Meng Qi's expression became serious, "It's all too coincidental, isn't it?"

"Why didn't that post appear in the first half of January, when the superhero blowout exploded, but so coincidentally when I just left the United States?"

"Why did Karin Jenny's critical essay appear so coincidentally, and there is still a big contradiction in the time when it was written? The most important thing is that if there is no contradiction, the publication of this article is a series of coincidences......

"Why is the "Woman" magazine so coincidentally released in advance? There are only three adjustments in the 122nd issue of the magazine, with a 2.46% chance, no, to be precise, it should be a 0.83% chance, after all, only this time the time is advanced, this kind of small probability event is too far-fetched if it is explained by coincidence......

Meng Qi asked a series of whys, but no one answered.

It was originally a very ordinary thing, but under his meticulous analysis, it actually became extremely weird.

Reggie Jackson was even more shocked, and he admired Meng Qi's ability to observe details, collect and analyze information, and reason without flaws.

However, he also felt terrifying, because he believed that these things were deduced by his boss after reading the information he had prepared, but before, when Meng Qi was still in Huaxia, how did he know that this incident was problematic?

Intuition?

A keen sense of danger?

Reggie Jackson glanced at Meng Qi, a little glad that he was his subordinate.

After listening to the analysis, Mark Dujon also believed Meng Qi's inference without evidence, but he still had a problem.

"Mr. Miller, I now believe that the demonstrations were by no means simple demonstrations, and that there are other reasons behind them......" Marc Dujón's voice was a little harsh, "but that doesn't mean it's against your ......"

"That's right, it's a conspiracy theory...... Meng, this is a conspiracy theory...... "Of course, Joe Smith also believed Meng Qi's words, but he still felt that this matter was not necessarily aimed at Meng Qi, "You have no evidence......

"All of these things happened very coincidentally when I was not in the United States...... Besides, have you all forgotten that I created the superhero comics......" Meng Qi replied.

"What if they were just targeting comics and not a specific person?"

"It's best to ......," Meng Qi sighed, "But, I think you all remember the reporter who pretended to be a homeless man at the press conference, right?"

Everyone else in the room knew about it.

That's really a weird thing, the reporter who suddenly attacked Meng Qi at the press conference suddenly became a homeless man, and no one can explain how this person got the formal suit, as well as the attendance card, professional voice recorder, and then infiltrated the press conference site, although Joe Smith also conducted an investigation at the behest of Meng Qi, but the clue was cut off......

Now that Meng Qi has brought up this matter again, does this homeless man have anything to do with the demonstrations?

Impossible, right...... Despite the thoughts in everyone's hearts, a strange atmosphere still lingered in the surrounding air.

After a long silence, Mark Dujon asked solemnly, "So, Mr. Miller, what are you going to do if this matter is really directed at you?"

"I don't know, who is manipulating this incident, I don't know at all, there is no clue at all, compared to Pacific Comics, they are more cunning, so, I can only see the moves......" Meng Qi said slowly, "I will launch a superhero comic with female protagonists as soon as possible, and test their attitude......"

Of course, the comic that Meng Qi said was Wonder Woman, in fact, this comic was basically finished before he returned to China, according to the original plan, it was on the market in early March, and the comics such as the Flash that ended up in the file were completed, but now in this situation, I had to change the plan and sell it in advance.

To be honest, Meng Qi couldn't figure out if this incident was aimed at him, and in the absence of any evidence, it was not easy for him to analyze and reason to this extent.

In this passive situation where he could not see any shadow of the enemy, he could only take the initiative to test and grasp more information, so that he could see the truth clearly.

However, if it is really aimed at himself, then the person behind it is either a strategist or a madman, right?
