On 13 September 2002, the incident was reported and the Tourist Office, the Health Bureau and the police intervened in the investigation. Attached: A copy of the newspaper clipping.

On September 14, 2002, the tour guide Wang Shiguo was contacted.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, thank you for accepting our interview."

"I said it was ...... on the phone before"

"Of course, this is the honorarium we have promised, we will pay half of it first, and the other half, and we will pay you after the interview."

窸窸窣窣窣...... Whew......

"Hmm. Ask whatever you want. ”

"First of all, do you have the same symptoms as those tourists?"

"Nope. I don't feel that way...... But tourists, not all of them get sick, do they? ”

"Yes. Can you think of the difference? What are the differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic tourists? ”

"I didn't notice. The Health Bureau checks the diet, but this food is not easy to check. They can't find out, and I can't remember. People at the same table eat, some people eat this dish, some people eat that...... And in the scenic area, in the free time, they buy some food and drink by themselves, and I can't know everything. ”

So, do you have any special impressions of this tour? Was there anything happening that made you feel special? ”

"No...... I said the same thing to the government, nothing special, just like before leading the team...... It's almost the same every time, the attractions, food and lodging are all the same. There are some small changes, also because things are different from each other. You can't say that you see flowers in spring and snow in winter, snow is special, right? I really don't know what went wrong. ”

"Mr. Wang, if that's the case, then I'm afraid the remaining half of the honorarium we said before will be wasted."

"How can you do that?"

"The clues you provide are meaningless to us."

"Then I can't make it up, can I? Nothing happened! ”

"Nothing happened, nine people have already died in the same way?"

"That...... I...... I don't really know ......."

"Have you ever had a similar problem with a group of tourists you've led before?"

"No, just this time...... I've been thinking about it for a long time, those police officers have been interrogating me for a day yesterday, and I'm going to ...... I don't really know what went wrong. I want to know, I said it a long time ago. What's in it for me to hide it from myself? I'm still suspicious! ”

"If you want to clear your name, remember everything that happened in those five days. Let's start with your trip. Tell us everything. ”

"Whew...... In the beginning...... At the beginning, it was very ordinary, and it was the same as before leading a team, gathering at the airport. I gave everyone a travel agency hat and vest, and then told them about the discipline. It's not discipline either...... It is to introduce the itinerary, explain the precautions, and if there is any need, let them come to me at any time, give them my mobile phone number, and the contact number of our local branch. Basically, it's a travel-related reminder, and then ask if there is any airsickness and whether there is a medical history...... None of them have any serious illnesses, and the travel agency asked them when they signed up. However, if we want to hide it, we can't do it, if we do, we are exempt from liability, and the contract is also written. …… Later, queue up to check in your luggage and queue up to board the plane. Nothing happened on the plane, and the wife was peaceful. After landing, we will queue up together to collect our luggage and queue up to go to the parking lot. The bus from the branch was already waiting. The driver is something I know and have worked with a few times. The bus talks about the local scenic spots, folk customs, and introduces the itinerary of the day. We landed at noon and went to the hotel to drop off our luggage and then eat at the hotel. This time, the group was very cooperative, unlike the previous encounters, procrastinating, saying that the meeting time was good, always late, the whole group waited for one or two, and everyone was unhappy. ”

"What's for lunch?"

"Just eat a very ordinary group meal...... The police have sent someone to investigate this. Like the few times I've led the team before, it's not a local dish. That hotel has been cooperating with our travel agency, so the cooking is biased towards our Minqing taste. I ate with it, and it shouldn't be the problem of that meal. ”

"Hmm. What's next? ”

"Next is the afternoon trip, go to a scenic spot near the hotel, Yunzhou Museum, there are a lot of things on display, and there is a mausoleum of the Marquis of Yunzhou, which is quite large. The visit is a unified visit, I am the leader, and I am also the one who makes the introduction, everyone is not separated, there are pictures or other needs, others will wait a little longer. But no one has to wait a long time. I went to the toilet in the middle, and some people went and some people didn't...... I remember the police asked about this. But I don't remember who it was. I didn't go. ”

"An attraction that afternoon?"

"It's not...... After the museum, it is time to go to Yuntan Temple to worship the Buddha. That's what I'll take around in a circle, look at the big Buddha and the stele and attic behind it, and then everyone disbands and moves freely. I don't know who burned incense to worship the Buddha and who did anything else...... Well, I remember there were seven or eight people, there were asking for signs, and they bought something......"

"What's wrong with that temple?"

“……”

"Mr. Wang, are you hiding anything from the police?"

"Alas...... The temple has an appointment with our travel agency...... We have commissions. That's it. There are basically such ...... in the industry Cooperate. I didn't do anything. Yuntan Temple is really a scenic spot, and the stone monument and attic are also two or three hundred years old. I didn't talk nonsense, and I didn't fool them into buying things. This kind of thing, if you believe it, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, right? ”

"Do you remember who the tourists were who they were? Does it have anything to do with what happened this time? ”

"It shouldn't matter. I remember a dead one, he had a charm to buy the light, and there was a dead one who didn't buy anything. ”

"Hmm. What about the rest of the trip? ”

"Ate local food in the evening. It is also a restaurant cooperated by our travel agency, specializing in tourist business. It can't be them...... I ate that in the evening, and then I went back to the hotel, and everyone rested. I told them to take matters into their own hands, to talk to me, to let me know where they are going. And then, if you need me to be a tour guide, you'll have to tip something or something. None of them came to me at night, but to be honest, I don't know if they went out or not. The tour group is not a school spring outing, and I am not a teacher, so I have to keep an eye on it, right? ”

"Where's the next day?"

"Breakfast at the hotel the next day, then get on the bus with your luggage and go to the attractions of Yunbei. After driving on the highway for more than three hours, getting off the highway, there is a flower base in the suburbs of Yunbei, so I will go there to visit it first. Everyone takes a picture, and then if you are interested, you can buy some seeds or something. Lunch was eaten over there, farmhouse, city people have never seen pigs running, so it's interesting to see live pigs. The chickens and ducks were all killed, and the fish were fished out of the fish pond that day. Be willing, spend some money, and be able to get the ingredients yourself. There were two children in the group, and when they ran to catch chickens, they were really chickens flying and dogs jumping. Everyone was very happy to watch. After lunch, we went to the city of Yunbei, stayed in the hotel there, and in the afternoon, we went to the city gate in the city center to visit, and then went to the Yunzhou Princess Mansion. Both attractions are similar to those in the temple, I took them around, and then everyone was free to move around and take pictures. Eat at a local restaurant in the evening, which is also a hotel that receives tourists, and then go to the city gate to watch the night view, and then go back to the hotel. ”

"Nothing special for the whole day?"

"No, it was ...... day"

"What's wrong? What do you remember? ”
