Chapter 70: The Quarantine Camp in the Mountains
When Gu Jun was taken out of the surgical building, it was exactly midnight, the night sky was as dark as ink, and the birds and beasts from the surrounding mountains were quite somber.
He had already re-acquainted himself with the three investigators, except for Captain Wang Ke, the other man was named Cao Yicong, who was younger, in his early thirties; The woman's name is Tang Ziying, she is a little younger, she looks a few years older than him, her short hair is very hearty, she went to the vending machine first to buy a few loaves of bread and a few bottles of mineral water.
The three of them took him into a police car, which is the most ordinary kind of police car, with the mark "public security" and "police", without the logo of the Tianji Bureau.
Some medical staff entering and leaving the surgical building couldn't help but wonder when they saw this scene, but the police car immediately drove away.
After leaving the medical department, the police car did not drive towards the city of Dongzhou, but went to the mountainous area in the northeast.
"Team Wang, may I ask what the situation is?" Gu Jun sat in the back seat, next to Wang Ke, driving Cao Yicong, and Tang Ziying in the passenger seat.
"There's still a long way to go." Wang Ke took the bread and a bottle of mineral water that Tang Ziying had just bought, and handed them to Gu Jun, "Doctor Gu, you can eat something first, and then rest." ”
Gu Jun was not familiar with Captain Wang Ke's temperament, but this seemed to be a cold-faced and hot-hearted man, and judging from his attitude, he didn't seem to be a vicious person among them...... Don't think about it yet, after a day of surgery, I am indeed tired.
He ate a few loaves of bread, drank some water, and closed his eyes next to the seat of the car to rest, and in any case, it was right to recharge his strength.
It's just that although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep, and the bumps in the car became bigger and bigger, and he walked on a rugged and winding mountain road. In order to know where to go, he opened his eyes from time to time to look out of the car window, and the car was driving into the deserted mountains, which was definitely not going to the investigation department.
Captain Wang Ke didn't stop him, and he wasn't afraid to let him look at it.
The mountains are steep, the shadows of the hazy trees are ghostly, the sounds of various insects are constantly sounding, and the dark night casts an eerie atmosphere over all this.
From time to time, the cry that suddenly pierced the night sky, I don't know what kind of nocturnal crow's cry, or some unknown existence.
After driving for nearly an hour, the car gradually became less bumpy and came to a flat area. Gu Jun also saw a hazy light in front of him, it was a village, and after driving for a while, he arrived at the destination this time.
"Dr. Gu, this is the place where patients with postoperative anius disease are currently temporarily housed, and all patients who have left the medical department have been placed and quarantined here."
In this remote mountain, there is such a settlement place where the fence is pulled, and the patrol soldiers and checkpoint guards are all armed operations personnel.
The police car was inspected and passed through several checkpoints before it was able to enter the gate. Gu Jun kept looking out of the car window, the high-pole spotlights were bright, and there were some army-green prefabricated barracks around, and more of them were blue-and-white simple prefabricated houses.
Gu Jun listened to Captain Wang Ke's words and asked, "Can I know how many patients there are here?" ”
"Thousands." Wang Ke didn't elaborate on the number, looking at the board houses outside the car, his resolute face was also a little sad, "They are all patients admitted to the Dongzhou area." They are all affected by a village-by-village area, and all of these villages have big banyan trees, no exception. ”
Gu Jun muttered, in terms of the transmission method of heterobanyan disease, the villagers need to have been in contact with the source of the banyan tree to be like this, but this is unreasonable......
Even if there is a large banyan tree in the village, it is impossible for every villager to touch it for a few days unless something happens.
"Doctor Gu, you have thought of something suspicious." Wang Ke said with a heavy face, "Our abnormal force investigation team has never believed in coincidences. ”
"Hmm......" Gu Jun nodded silently.
After they got out of the car, Gu Jun was taken into a prefabricated barracks, where more than a dozen people were busy everywhere, some looking at computers, some looking at documents, and some discussing something. Seeing them come in, everyone stopped and shouted "Team Wang", which should be all colleagues from the investigation department of this team.
It's past one o'clock in the morning, and they're racing against time, is there something about the situation?
"Doctor Gu, we're going to show you a few surveillance videos first." Wang Ke asked Gu Jun to sit down on a chair, facing a TV screen.
Before Gu Jun could sit down, there were already four or five people around him, looking at him unabashedly, and they were quite vigilant.
"Let's play the video." Wang Ke spoke, and Tang Ziying operated it over there, and the TV screen immediately lit up with an image:
It was in the corridor on the sixth floor of the surgical building of the Department of Medicine, crowded with patients with banyan disease lying on the ambulance bed, and the medical staff were busy walking, and at this time, Zhou Jiaqiang walked by with a group of interns, and suddenly a patient shouted at them frantically......
Gu Jun was not surprised, this was his mental preparation, because he had already discovered that the corridors of the surgical building were equipped with surveillance cameras.
There were three people with Anaphylla going crazy at him, and if that didn't get their attention, the Investigation Department would be all a bunch of rice buckets.
Sure enough, after the corridor video was broadcast, Tang Ziying played the video of the operating room again, and this video had a sound, which was the excited and mournful shout of patient No. 25: "You guys...... Something in the banyan tree! No, don't ......" The sound caused the air to freeze throughout the barracks.
The video was broadcast here, and the picture on the TV screen froze, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes of everyone in the investigation team were looking at Gu Jun.
"Dr. Gu, the 'thing in the banyan tree' is something that some people with anius see in a state of delirium, and these patients are all over the place, and the only thing they have in common is that they are relatively high in terms of gnosticism. But after surgery, none of them can remember what they saw during their delirium. ”
Wang Ke said something about the investigation, "We suspect that this is related to anomalous powers. We have cooperated with the psychology team of your medical department to make some attempts, such as hypnotizing patients to find memories of delirium, but we have not been able to find any valuable clues. Their memories before and after the onset of illness are completely gone. ”
This was the first time Gu Jun learned this information, he frowned slightly, didn't even have an implicit memory......
"A few days ago, the medical department gave us a new clue, and the psychological team thought that you were the 'thing in the banyan tree' that some of the patients with high-spirited heteranocyanus disease said, and that you were their stressor, and it was because of this that they had a psychological breakdown and accelerated the development of their condition. Due to the suspicious nature of this incident, combined with the fact that you have abnormal memories, you may also have unusual early childhood activities......"
When Wang Ke said this, although everyone's complexion did not change, it was this lack of change that gave people a sense of heaviness.
An unusual activity for early childhood? Gu Jun thought, what are they suspecting?
"So," Wang Ke paused and then said, "we did a quiz and broadcast the video. ”
Gu Jun suddenly understood, this test should prove that he couldn't do without relationships......
It's just that he still has some luck in his heart that he doesn't want to give up: after those three patients, I didn't let anyone be stressed, and it is impossible that so many patients are not very neurotic. Could it be for something else?
At the same time, new images were broadcast on the television screen.
In a small, blank room, a patient with a prosthetic right leg sits in the only chair, nervously looking in the direction of the camera.
