Chapter 42: Old Photos
The jacket is a gray high-neck trench coat, the upper half of the body is lined with a black long-sleeved shirt, the lower half of the body is black straight-leg trousers, and a pair of brown-red toad glasses are placed on the bridge of the nose.
Holding a black umbrella, Rona couldn't help but look at the shop windows on the street, where he had a vague image of himself reflected by the neon light on his side.
When he went out, his wife kept asking him if he was going out to participate in any special activities, but he silently lit a cigarette and picked up an umbrella and went out.
The surface is cold, but in fact, the heart is happy.
Even if it's to entertain himself, these years have been dull for too long, and he is looking forward to this change in his heart.
In front of the agreed café, the few warm light sources on this street, the delicate chandeliers of beige and the retro-style gray brick walls always make people forget the reinforced concrete in the rain outside, and the mood can't help but relax.
The man was already waiting inside, and the former's eyes were locked on him as soon as Rona appeared at the door.
"Mr. Lecter, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
He took off his calfskin gloves and reached out to shake the other's hands.
"Haha, Mr. Rhone looks pretty stylish today. ”
Zhu Jue looked at Rona and said with a smile, the latter obviously enjoyed this compliment, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes couldn't go away.
"I brought the photo ......"
As soon as he sat down, Rhona was about to get down to business and put his hand in his arms.
"Hey~ Don't worry, the coffee hasn't been served yet, let's talk about the photo last. ”
Zhu Jue had just arrived, and was waiting for the waiter to bring the coffee, and before that, he had something else to say,
"In fact, this time I asked you for something else, how much do you know about the epidemic prevention center in Thousand Sails City?"
"Epidemic prevention center, I have dealt with some of this in the past...... I don't know what you want to know. ”
Rona, who realized that he was a little anxious, withdrew his hand, heard Zhu Jue's inquiry, and asked after a few seconds.
"My clinic received a notice this morning that the clinic should participate in the Halloween mobile health clinic, which has never happened before, right, I wonder why the epidemic prevention center set this precedent. ”
The notice from the epidemic prevention center was sent directly to Zhu Jue's mobile phone in the evening, asking him to provide at least five medical personnel to report to the epidemic prevention center tomorrow for advance training.
"During Halloween's Day, there are many people in various activity squares and commercial streets, and according to the previous rules, mobile medical points will indeed be set up at various dense points...... But this aspect has always been the responsibility of Life Medical Group, and in previous years, their hospitals sent medical teams, so how could it become an epidemic prevention center this year. ”
Rona grew up in Thousand Sails City, and he was a government official, and he had handled a lot of affairs during the Halloween Festival, and this kind of thing didn't even need to be thought about, and Zhu Jue already had this aspect in his mind at the same time as he mentioned it.
"What do you think could be the cause of this, go into more detail. ”
"Mr. Lecter has just come here recently, so he may not know the situation here, first of all, one thing is very important, there is no public hospital in Thousand Sails City!"
Since Zhu Jue wanted to explain in detail, Rona took out his mobile phone and first found out the information of the Life Medical Group and put it on the table to push Zhu Jue.
As a city under the control of capital, everything within Qianfan City must have a clear boundary with words such as "public" and "public", and the medical industry, as an industry that no one can avoid, is naturally controlled by a consortium.
Life Medical.
The influence of this title in the medical industry is not much different from that of Yuanfan Machinery.
In addition to private clinics, black market clinics, and some individual-run nursing homes similar to barefoot doctors in ancient times, nearly 70% of the large hospitals and affiliated medical industries in Qianfan City belong to the name of Life Medical Group.
In order to ensure its influence in Thousand Sails City, Life Medical has almost covered the medical support of major events in previous years, not to mention the city-wide activities such as Halloween Day.
"As far as I know, the basic functions of the epidemic prevention center are disease prevention, blockade and treatment, and it seems to be deeply related to medical treatment, but in fact there is not even a nurse inside, but a group of people who specialize in special epidemics. ”
Rona searched for memories of the clinic as much as he could, trying to relate them to the current situation.
"I heard that there is also a special epidemic in Thousand Sails City recently, could it be that the epidemic prevention center is worried about the bad impact caused by the life medical care after learning about this matter, so it plans to find someone to deal with it itself?"
Zhu Jue threw out a new message and made a conjecture, which seemed to him to be very likely.
"No, it's impossible, even if I'm not an employee of the epidemic prevention center, I dare to pack a ticket for one thing, that is, at least one-third of the medical scholars in the epidemic prevention center have worked under the hands of the life medical group, and the affairs in the epidemic prevention center can't be hidden from the senior management of the life medical group at all!"
Rona bluntly rejected Zhu Jue's speculation, and then said,
"I was involved in this about three years ago, when there were between 200 and 300 medical personnel in charge of mobile and designated medical stations during Halloween's Day, and even if the epidemic prevention center wanted to go it alone, it would not be possible to find so many people to cooperate with their actions. ”
"Life Medical Group can provide so many people?"
"Of course, it is not a problem for the major hospitals in Qianfan City to allocate two or three hundred people in total, after all, the doctors and nurses in the medical site do not need to be very competent, and in many cases, even interns can be competent. ”
"In that case, why should the epidemic prevention center find a private clinic to allocate staff?"
Zhu Jue immediately thought that the reason given by Zheng Lin in the clinic hall was that the epidemic prevention center was understaffed, and now it seems that this reason is obviously untenable.
"There is a possibility. ”
"Huh?"
"Part-time worker system!"
Rona furrowed his brows, thought for a while and gave an answer.
The waiter of the café came from the aisle on the left at this time, and placed the steaming coffee in front of the two of them, Zhu Jue didn't look at it, picked up the cup with sugar cubes on one side and poured three into it.
The so-called temporary worker system, Zhu Jue still understands, is nothing more than a common way to shirk responsibility.
"The epidemic prevention center should be preparing to carry out a certain medical operation, the participants are likely to reach a certain level, ordinary interns are not competent, they must be experienced doctors, and in my opinion, there is bound to be some kind of risk in this medical operation, so the medical personnel needed for the operation are not likely to be provided at will even by a top group such as life medicine, and the major hospitals under their names must have these people." In the event of an accident in the event of a failure of the operation, it will not only cause difficulties in the operation of the hospital, but also have to pay a large amount of insurance premiums and bear quite serious follow-up effects, so ......"
Holding a silver-plated spoon to stir the coffee, Rona lowered his voice.
"So the epidemic prevention institute thought that there is still a group of people in the private clinic, right?"
Taking Rona's words, Zhu Jue naturally put himself in the column of experienced doctors.
"Yes, if there is any place to find experienced doctors outside of the major hospitals, it is the option of private clinics, except for the need to pay a requisition fee, the epidemic prevention center does not need to pay anything, if nothing else, they will not sign any agreement or contract with you, which means that even if the operation fails and causes some bad consequences, they can take their responsibility out of the name that the temporary requisition is difficult to manage. ”
"There's something behind this. ”
With Ronna's help to understand what may be hidden behind this incident, Zhu Jue is more and more sure that the epidemic prevention center intends to take this opportunity to investigate the unknown epidemic.
In this way, it coincides with Suzi's thoughts.
This is the perfect end of the topic of the epidemic prevention center, Rona knows so much, and Zhu Jue doesn't expect him to tell more inside stories.
The attention of the two came to the key point of this meeting again.
Photo of a gathering of the Cult of Thorns.
He took the envelope from Rona and opened it, and there were not many photos inside, only three.
Look down at the photos one by one, trying to match the characters on them with some of the faces you remember.
The first two photos show nothing, and occasionally one or two similar ones can be seen, but after careful comparison, there are still differences.
In the background of the last photograph is a tavern, with a man standing on the counter, holding his hands up, with an impassioned expression, as if he was saying something, and in front of him there are several people sitting or standing, and the photographer's position is on the right side of the tavern, so he can capture the side faces of most people.
"Tsk......"
The fingers rubbing the base of the coffee cup paused, and Zhu Jue stared at someone in the corner of the photo for more than ten seconds, and his eyes never left.
"Did you find anything?"
Noticing Zhu Jue's strange appearance, Rona hurriedly asked.
"Is there a backup of these photos?"
Without answering Rona's question, Zhu Jue put the photo in an envelope and put it in his arms, as if asking casually.
At this moment, Zhu Jue's face did not have the slightest smile, his voice was a little cold, and there was an unpredictable depth in his dark eyes.
"Photos taken to avoid leaving online records are not backed up, and if you need them, there's a print shop nearby. ”
Rona vaguely noticed the change in the atmosphere and wanted to smile, but found that under the gaze of the person opposite, let alone a smile, he only felt dry when he spoke, and subconsciously sipped coffee to relieve it.
"These are your rewards, I hope you will continue to follow up on the matter of the human rights march, I need any information!"
Pushing the thick money bag prepared in advance to Ronna, Zhu Jue knew that the accounts of government officials might be monitored, and cash transactions were the safest.
