Chapter 570: What the hell went wrong
Lu Jiaqi wanted to ask her father, but Lu Siyan was usually very serious at home, never mentioned work matters, and also hated Lu Jiaqi very much for asking about his work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If Lu Jiaqi called Lu Siyan, Lu Siyan would only scold, and then ask Lu Jiaqi to work hard and not think about useless things.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to get the news from Lu Siyan, Lu Jiaqi would not have called Cang Hao.
If Lu Siyan's tone was a little looser, Lu Jiaqi must have asked for the news from Lu Siyan first, and then went to Canghao to sell the news.
Lu Jiaqi is known as the little speaker of the Cao Group, and his favorite thing to do is to pass all kinds of news around.
Cang Hao was too lazy to satisfy Lu Jiaqi's curiosity, just briefly explained the company's work, and hung up the phone.
Originally, Cang Hao was going to contact Liao Jiajun next, but he didn't expect Liao Jiajun to take the initiative to call over: "You come to me right now, there is a major progress in the case......"
"What's going on?"
"Just two hours ago, eight more people tried to commit suicide by jumping into the water, but luckily I sent all the police to patrol the streets and saved five people on the spot. Liao Jiajun panted and said: "These five people are in the first hospital, and they are in a very strange state......
Cang Hao nodded: "I'll go to the First Hospital now." ”
When Cang Hao rushed to the First Hospital, Liao Jiajun was already waiting, and after she saw Cang Hao, she took her directly to the intensive care ward.
At this time, the atmosphere in the intensive care unit was very tense, with medical staff walking around everywhere and police officers on duty outside.
As soon as Cang Hao walked to the door, he heard someone shouting hoarsely: "Water, give me water, please give me water!"
Liao Jiajun specially designated the First Hospital to deal with the incident, and the so-called "special care unit" was temporarily set up for this purpose, separated from the other wards at a great distance, to prevent the spread of unknowable dangers.
The five suicides who had just been rescued were all there, and unlike ordinary patients, they were all handcuffed to the hospital bed.
To be precise, each of them had four handcuffs on their bodies, each of which was handcuffed to their limbs, and that was not enough, and several loops of rope were wrapped around their legs, which held them firmly in the hospital bed.
The wails were made by these suicides, Cang Hao glanced at the five people, and found that there were all men, women, and children, dressed differently, and they had nothing in common with each other.
If there must be something in common, it is that these five people are very confused, their eyes are blank, the corners of their mouths are constantly spitting, and they are all trying to ask others for water.
"Here's the thing...... Liao Jiajun cut it short: "After the police found out that they were about to jump into the river, they immediately dragged them down." But they struggled desperately and even bit two policemen. Fortunately, there were enough police officers on the scene, almost every four police officers dealt with one, and these people were controlled. ”
"And then?"
"And then you saw it too!" Liao Jiajun pointed at the five suicides very helplessly: "The police finally brought them to the hospital, but they didn't cooperate at all, so they had no choice but to tie them to the bed." The beds you see have just been replaced, and two of them have been broken before......"
As if to confirm Liao Jiajun's words, a suicide person immediately began to struggle violently, and the hospital bed made a "click" sound, making people worry that it might collapse at any time.
Although the suicide victim also had four handcuffs and a pile of ropes, it was only barely able to hold the suicide in place.
A middle-aged man in a white lab coat immediately shouted, "Use a sedative!"
A nurse rushed over and took out a needle and plunged it into the suicide's arm.
Soon, the suicidal man's struggle became weak, and he gradually lost his eyes and fell asleep.
This middle-aged man is the attending physician of the five suicides, and he can know that it must be the business elite of the First Hospital without asking, and he told the other medical staff: "There is no other way, if any one is still so noisy, inject him with a sedative......
"I really don't know what went wrong...... Liao Jiajun felt that all this was a dream, and this kind of case would not happen even in science fiction movies: "I wanted to ask why they committed suicide, but you can also see that they have lost their minds and do not cooperate with me at all." No matter what questions I asked, they just wanted water ......."
"Although they have lost their minds, they have actually said a lot of things. Cang Hao said meaningfully: "They asked for water to drink, in fact, it verified our previous speculation, all the people who committed suicide actually didn't really want to commit suicide, they just felt extremely thirsty, so they jumped in to find a place with more water." ”
"But why do they feel hungry?" Shaking his head helplessly, Liao Jiajun turned to ask the attending physician, "Did you find anything?"
The attending physician exhaled a long breath: "According to your instructions, we have done a comprehensive physical examination for them, and some of the examination results will not come out until a few hours, according to the results that have come out so far......" After a pause, the attending physician said very helplessly: "Their bodies are completely normal!"
Liao Jiajun couldn't cry or laugh: "But where do they look normal?"
"I also know that they are not normal, but I am a doctor and I only speak to the diagnosis, and the diagnosis shows that there is nothing wrong with them. After a pause, the attending physician told Liao Jiajun: "Just now, we have conducted a general consultation, and even the doctors from pediatrics and gynecology have come, but no one has ever seen this disease in the past." They have no infectious diseases, no ingestion of toxic substances, and no exposure to nuclear radiation...... Oh, by the way, I also brought in a psychiatrist, and I suspect they may have committed suicide because of some kind of mental problem, but do you know what the psychiatrist said?"
Liao Jiajun has already guessed the answer: "Say they are not mentally ill!"
"That's right. The attending doctor nodded affirmatively: "Their symptoms do not conform to any known mental illness, whether it is some unknown mental problem, it needs to be known through scientific research." ”
Liao Jiajun spread his hands: "Can't we do anything now?"
"Frankly, I'm one of the best experts in my field. You can send them to another hospital, or even to the capital, but I'm pretty sure the final diagnosis will be the same. The attending physician added confidently: "If you still don't believe me, I can't help it!"
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to ask you, what should I do now?"
"If you can't find a cause, there is no treatment, and all I can think about now is sedation. If you find other people who have tried to commit suicide, they will only be given sedatives after being brought here......" After a pause, the attending physician continued: "Their vital signs are very stable, and as long as they don't want to die, they won't die. So, putting them in a coma for the time being can save their lives. ”
Liao Jiajun nodded solemnly: "It seems that this is the only way to do it......"
Cang Hao asked the attending physician curiously: "They always want water to drink, is the body really short of water?"
"Of course not. The attending physician told Cang Hao with great certainty: "Didn't I say that their vital signs are very stable, not only is there no shortage of water, but even various trace elements." I know you're very strange, but I'm also very strange, I've never heard of such a strange disease. ”
"The cause must be found immediately. Cang Hao said meaningfully: "Although they can be temporarily controlled with sedatives, it is not yet known how large the coverage of this disaster will be, and it is not known how many victims will appear." If we don't solve it in time, it won't take long for your hospital to be full, and even the entire building may become a king-size ward. ”
"I see what you mean. The attending physician's tone was also heavy: "Didn't I say it, there are still a few diagnoses that have not yet come out, and I hope that something will be found after the results come out." ”
There is nothing to do here in the intensive care ward for the time being, Liao Jiajun walked out and made a call to the forensic doctor: "How are you doing over there?"
A rough forensic autopsy will give you results very quickly, but if you carefully examine a corpse, then it will take a long time, maybe even ten days and half a month.
Liao Jiajun demanded that every cell of the deceased must be analyzed, and the forensic department worked overtime to almost cut the deceased into slices, and then put each slice under the microscope to see.
Fortunately, Lu Siyan brought a forensic expert group from the capital to speed up the inspection work several times.
However, this was useless, and the forensic doctor reluctantly told Liao Jiajun: "I can't find the reason......
"Can't find the reason?" Liao Jiajun's voice suddenly rose an octave: "I warn you to be responsible for what you have said!"
"Of course I'm in charge......" The forensic doctor was so anxious that he was about to cry: "The problem is that we really can't find any problems, even if you shoot me, it's useless......"
"Now that there are more and more suicides, what do you think should be done?"
"I really don't know......" The forensic doctor shook his head incessantly: "It's not just me, even the forensic expert group in the capital can't find out the reason......
"Do you want to turn to the international side for help?"
The forensic doctor replied with a sad face: "I think this is the only way......
Liao Jiajun didn't say anything more, hung up the phone directly, and then told Cang Hao: "It seems that I have to ask Interpol for help!"
Cang Hao said categorically: "It's useless!"
Liao Jiajun didn't understand: "Why?"
"You and I both know that this time it may be an attack launched by the Dongying people......" Cang Hao looked around and no one was paying attention, and then continued: "The Dongying people must have used some new biological and chemical weapons that have not been used in the past, and there is no way to have any information from Interpol." ”
"Are we waiting for more and more suicides?"
Cang Hao glanced deeply at the intensive care ward: "If the forensic autopsy can't find the answer, then the only way to find the answer is from the living." ”
"But you heard what the attending physician said just now, and they don't know what the situation is. ”
"No, you don't understand what I mean...... Cang Hao shook his head slowly: "A good living person, suddenly felt extremely thirsty, and then jumped into the water and died, this person is no different before and after his life, then we have to consider whether something happened at the moment of his death." ”
Liao Jiajun didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"It's clear what I'm saying, they feel thirsty before jumping into the water, but of course it's just an illusion. Cang Hao tried to analyze: "Is there a possibility that when they were in the water, what changes happened to their bodies......
"What will change? Turning into a monster?" Liao Jiajun couldn't help but shake his head: "But those dead are not monsters, the forensic doctor has said many times, and there is nothing unusual about the corpse." ”
"I don't know how to explain it. Cang Hao sighed, and then said a little cruelly: "Anyway, I just think that if we want to find the answer, the most direct way is to see how they died." ”
"This ...... It's too brutal, isn't it?"
"It's brutal indeed. Cang Hao shrugged: "I know you won't agree to do this, so I'll just say it." ”
While the two men were talking, seven more suicides were taken to the hospital, all of whom were rescued by police patrolling the streets.
This is not the end, Liu Tiansheng came with the news that suicides were also found in other urban areas and were on their way to the hospital.
Liao Jiajun reluctantly connected the phone of the general manager of the water company again: "Is there any progress on your side?"
"Nope. The general manager of the water company replied very simply: "Since yesterday, we have tested the water quality of all water sources, and we have tested it more than once, and the results have proved that our water quality fully meets the national standards." ”
"Okay......" Liao Jiajun smiled bitterly: "It's okay if you insist again and again, then I can't help it, but at least there is one thing, you should do it right now." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Isolate all the water systems associated with the Cuifeng Wetland, and do not exchange any water with other water systems. ”
The general manager of the water company lost his voice and said: "This project is too large. ”
"No matter how big the amount of work is, it must be done, and this is to save people!" Liao Jiajun said categorically: "No matter how big it is, can it still beat the Three Gorges Project?"
"Isolate the water system...... This is the responsibility of the water department. The general manager of the water company instinctively pushed things out: "It's not our scope of work!"
"Now is a special period, don't talk about the division of powers and responsibilities, no matter what you should have done, now you must do what I tell you!" After a pause, Liao Jiajun added: "On the water conservancy department, I will naturally do the work, but from the beginning of you, you must act first!"
