3 a.m., the quietest hour of the night in the city.

There are few cars on the road outside the office building, and occasionally a car passes by.

In the office building, there are several rooms with lights still on.

Wang Xiaochuan slept in a daze, turned over, and felt that there was a light next to him.

Li Dachuan on the desk next door was resting on the desk.

Alas, this Dachuan is not good at lying down and resting, and every time he lies down for a while and then continues to be busy.

Although I bought a small folding bed a long time ago, I haven't used it a few times.

Wang Xiaochuan was so sleepy that he squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Dachuan, and soon fell asleep again.

5 a.m.

As the sky gets brighter, cleaners have already started to sweep the street on the road outside the office building.

Wang Xiaochuan woke up and slept intermittently for nearly 4 hours, but his body was still weak.

He was going to put away the folding bed and wash up, and in the morning his head was still clear, and catch up with the work he hadn't done yesterday.

Li Dachuan was still lying on the table.

Natural light came in through the window, and the night light on Li Dachuan's desk was not extinguished, making it even more dim at this time.

"Dachuan, wake up, you won't lie on your stomach like this all night, will you? It's still early, do you want to lie down on my folding bed for another half an hour?"

Li Dachuan did not respond.

"Okawa?"

Wang Xiaochuan raised his voice again and shouted.

According to his understanding of Li Dachuan, he usually sleeps very vigilantly, even the sound of getting up and turning will wake Li Dachuan up, but today there is none.

Li Dachuan lay there motionless.

A sense of foreboding appeared in Wang Xiaochuan's mind.

He approached Li Dachuan and reached out to push his shoulder.

The body is stiff and cold to the touch!

Look at his face again, on one side, his eyes half-open, his eyes blank.

Wang Xiaochuan tried to calm himself and reached out to test his snort.

There is not a trace of warm airflow.

"Oh my God...... Die...... Dead?!"

——

8:30 a.m.

Central Business District, Office Building.

Outside the building, the police pulled up a cordon.

Li Dachuan's wife was crying heartbreakingly outside, and she was accompanied by two children, who were also wiping tears.

A female police officer is calming her down.

The usual bustling crowd of office workers watched from the periphery of the police cordon and talked about it.

"I've heard of dead people. ”

"yes, an employee of Angel Networks on the 22nd floor. ”

"How did you die?"

"I don't know, the police are investigating. ”

"Since the police are in charge, will it be him who kills and kills for money?"

"Probably not, although everyone here is brightly dressed, they are all working dogs, so how can they have a lot of money?"

"I know something, the person who died was my colleague. ”

"You're from Angel Networks?"

"Yes, the one who died is called Li Dachuan, an old employee of our company, who has been working overtime every day recently, I think I am tired to death, cough cough cough ......"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Well, I've had an itchy throat lately, and it's not just me, but many people in our company are uncomfortable. ”

The crowd of onlookers automatically moved away from the person who had just spoken.

A colleague of the deceased, who also had cough symptoms......

Contagious disease?

The crowd of onlookers automatically thought of infectious diseases, and the person who spoke just now seemed to notice the strangeness of the people around him, and hurriedly explained, "I don't have an infectious disease, it's not an infectious disease, it should be sudden death, don't be afraid." ”

"There are many kinds of sudden death, and if it's the same disease, people all had similar symptoms before they died, and you have symptoms now, and it's more likely that you're contagious. Someone in the crowd protested quietly and took another step back.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The deceased's colleague turned pale, originally he only thought that Li Dachuan was tired to death, but when the onlookers said this, he suddenly felt that his symptoms had worsened, he couldn't breathe, and he was weak.

Could it be that it was an infectious disease? That's why he's been weak for the last few days.

God, if it's really an infectious disease, then Li Dachuan is his end.

No, no, no, I can't die like Li Dachuan, I have to tell the police about the situation.

He tried to break through the cordon, but was stopped by the police.

Looking up into the company, he found that Wang Xiaochuan was talking to the police.

"Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan, Wang Xiaochuan, it's me, Zhang Li, I have something to report to the police, you let them put me in. ”

At the scene of the death, forensic doctor Fu Bo and Team Liang were discussing the case.

Hearing the commotion in the crowd of onlookers, Team Liang frowned, and was about to disperse the crowd of onlookers, Wang Xiaochuan took the initiative to come up, "Comrade policeman, he is my colleague, his name is Zhang Li, he said that there is a situation to reflect." ”

Originally, the police had basically completed the on-site investigation, and it was preliminarily determined that the deceased Li Dachuan died suddenly, but the cause of the sudden death still needs to be investigated in detail.

Zhang Zhang stepped into the scene, his eyes looking left and right, as if he was afraid of something.

"Comrade policeman, I have a situation to reflect. Zhang Li's voice trembled, "I suspect that Li Dachuan died of an infectious disease, and I was also infected." ”

Team Liang shook his head, alas, I thought there would be some clues, but it turned out to be a mental illness.

"Why are you so suspicious?

"I sit in the same office as Li Dachuan, breathe the same air every day, Li Dachuan has been saying that he is not feeling well recently, and his throat is itchy, and I am too, and not only I have this situation, Wang Xiaochuan and several other people are also like this. ”

If multiple people have symptoms at the same time, is it really an infectious disease?

"Forensic Doctor Fu, check it out for him. Team Liang instructed Fu Bo.

Carefully inspect Wang Xiaochuan, Zhang Li, and several other onlookers of Angel Network Company.

After the examination, Fu Bo came to the Liang team to report, "No fever, no poisoning, no obvious trauma, good vital signs, in short, no symptoms, not like illness, more like a psychological problem." Besides, I'm a forensic doctor and not a clinician, and they really have to have some infectious diseases or chronic diseases, and they have to be examined by the hospital. ”

Fu Bo's voice was neither high nor low, and it happened to be heard by Team Liang and Zhang Zhang and Wang Xiaochuan next to him.

The tension was instantaneous, why did the police do this? Forget it, and say that it was a mental illness.

"Comrade police officer, this is really an infectious disease, you don't care?"

Fu Bo: "It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up." ”

Team Liang: "Bring the body back to the legal center for further autopsy, and I'll wait for the autopsy report to be closed." ”

The attitude of the police in front of them is obvious, only the deceased, regardless of these people who are alive and have no obvious symptoms.

Zhang Liqi exhaled and muttered in his heart: Hmph, no matter what, there will always be someone to take care of you.

But I have to do a bunch of tests, and the previous physical examination didn't find out any reason, and if I go to the hospital again, maybe the doctor won't find anything.

By the way, everyone is sick, it may be an infectious disease, and there is one person who has not woken up, and this situation will be managed.

Zhang Zhang took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the CDC.
