Chapter 270: Breaking into the base
As soon as these words came out, Lee Hyun-jung immediately fell silent.
Choi Jung-hyuk, the head of the security office on the side, whispered a few words in his ear.
In the end, Li Xuanzhen's eyes fell on Gu Ji like a torch, "I will find a way to solve the problem of the military, but I don't know, if I hand over the investigation to you, will you still have the courage to enter the Osan base." ”
"As long as I can get a license, I dare to do it."
"Good!"
Hearing Gu's 100% affirmative tone, Lee Hyun-jeong and Choi Jung-hyuk both flashed a hint of praise in their eyes.
After all, in their eyes.
Gu Ji is just an ordinary prosecutor, and he has just experienced the pursuit of the military, so it is rare to have this kind of courage.
And Gu Ji had already decided that Lee Hyun-jeong would definitely agree to his suggestion.
Because the biggest problem for the Blue House authorities at present is to resolve the MERS incident as soon as possible and put South Korea's economy, society, and people's lives on the right track, they absolutely have a "zero tolerance" attitude towards the spread of the virus.
"Director Li, my suggestion is to get the better as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find clues when the military reacts and prepares in advance, or if the infected people are transferred."
"Don't worry, I'll see you when I get back."
Li Xuanzhen unplugged the card reader, "I'll take these documents and materials first, you live here for the time being, the security room will ensure your personal safety, your family, and we have also sent someone to protect you." ”
"Thank you, two directors."
Gu Ji responded politely.
But I didn't guess it.
Still, he thought about it simply.
Not to mention that night, for several days, Lee Hyun-jung did not let him leave, and if he hadn't called him from time to time to communicate, he would have doubted that the Blue House would have betrayed him to the military a long time ago.
But think about it.
After all, the Osan base is a joint base of the United States and South Korea, and South Korea's military dependence on the United States has long been an open secret, and the United States has absolute dominance in terms of laboratories, so the resistance of the Blue House is also very large.
Until July 10, the infection surveillance system above Gu Jiji's field of vision suddenly jumped, and within half an hour, the MERS investigation team sent him a message that the 157th confirmed MERS patient in South Korea died at about 1:27 p.m.
So far, the number of MERS deaths in South Korea has increased to 36.
Just one more patient who dies and the ultimate goal will fail!
Looking at the MERS infection map and the few red dots in the Osan base, Gu Ji couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and directly called Zhang Shiyun and Jiang Chengxun: "Take someone immediately, follow me to the Osan base!" ”
With that, he rushed out of the safe house with his briefcase.
I haven't been out for a few days, and the air outside the house is exceptionally fresh.
As the Blue House is becoming more and more effective in controlling MERS infection, the number of people on the streets of Seoul is gradually increasing, and although everyone is still wearing masks, it is completely different from the panic state of half a month ago.
Since the security personnel in the safe house are all from the Blue House.
So not long after Gu Ji walked out, the phone in his pocket rang, it was Li Xuanzhen, the head of the secretary's office.
"Prosecutor Kim, I heard from the head of security that you left the safe house, is there something wrong?"
"Director Li, you are a smart person."
Gu Ji didn't answer directly.
But Lee Hyun-jung was not angry, but seemed to know the result a long time ago.
"Prosecutor Kim, the Osan base is far from being as simple as you think, in the past few days, Mr. President has been talking to the chief of staff of the Ministry of National Defense, asking him to come forward to negotiate and communicate with the Seventh Air Force Command in South Korea at the Osan base, and I believe that there will be results soon."
"In that case, I should have no problem conducting a preliminary investigation now, right?"
After speaking, Gu Ji hung up the phone directly.
Half an hour later, he joined up with Jang Se-yun, Kang Sung-hoon and others, and rushed to the Osan base with two CDC and police station combat patrols.
It has to be said that the judicial power of South Korean prosecutors is indeed very large and extremely independent.
Down to civilians, up to the president.
As long as he gives an order, he can mobilize all the police, CDC, customs, border guards and other officials in the jurisdiction to cooperate, even if the investigation target is the military base base, these people will not dare to disobey.
So, the group arrived in front of the gate of the Osan base.
Perhaps they had already received the news that there was a row of police cars parked in front of the base, which was none other than the members of the base's US-South Korea joint patrol, among which several white Yankees were standing in front angrily, with a pistol at their waist in their right hand, looking ready to draw their guns at any time.
The doors open.
Gu Ji also led a large number of investigators, disease control personnel and police officers to the front.
Both sides were a little nervous about each other.
When the passers-by around saw this scene, they stopped and held up their mobile phones to secretly take pictures.
After all, this kind of military-police confrontation scene is rare throughout the history of South Korea.
The last time there was a clash between the military and the police was in 1971 at Sibi Island.
"This is a military location, what do you want to do with so many people!"
"According to the "2015 MERS White Paper" document issued by the Blue House authorities, I suspect that Osan Base Hospital has secretly concealed the confirmed patients and failed to report them, and has conducted necessary investigations into multiple murder cases involving people in the base!"
"Hehehe, it turned out to be you."
Gu Jigang finished speaking.
In the US-South Korea joint patrol, a tall brown-haired white man suddenly grinned and sneered, it was the American patrol officer that Gu Ji met on the day he asked Zhang Shiyun about the military family members of the base a few days ago.
The laughter stopped, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Pointing to the gate of the military region, he said word by word: "This is a joint base between the United States and South Korea, and our US military is not under the jurisdiction of your inspection system, I advise you to leave immediately with your people, otherwise something really goes wrong, and you will all be finished!" ”
After the last sentence, the brown-haired white man even gave a thumbs up upside down in front of Gu Ji and the others.
Feeling humiliated, several younger South Korean police officers were about to draw their pistols.
can be quickly pressed down by the commander next to him.
Although the brown-haired white man's tone was excessive, he was not wrong.
No matter what the US military stationed in South Korea does that violates South Korean law, it must be handed over to the US military itself to deal with, and South Korean law has no jurisdiction.
The policeman in charge of leading the team is still the previous uncle.
He gently stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Gu Ji's sleeve and remind him of a few words.
But before he could speak, Gu Ji replied head-on: "Who said that I want to investigate the US military, could it be that you participated in the crime and knew the inside story of the case?" ”
"You!"
The brown-haired white man was so angry that his brain was instantly congested, and he was speechless to refute.
In the past few years since he was transferred to the Osan base, he has never seen a South Korean official dare to talk to him like this, and he has never suffered such resentment.
In fact.
Prosecutors have also investigated South Korean soldiers, and before the star violated the regulations during his service, he was taken away by the prosecutor for investigation, and later directly investigated the South Korean Ministry of National Defense.
"Let's go."
"I see who dares to break into the military region!"
As soon as Gu Ji gave the order, the brown-haired white man pulled out the pistol on his waist.
In an instant, the already nervous combat policemen were forced to draw their guns by the crisp sound of the mechanical collision of the guns.
The scene suddenly became tense.
Just one step away, the muzzles of the guns will be pointed at each other.
"Goo-to-......" Zhang Shiyun had seen this kind of scene before, he swallowed hard and spit, and muttered in a low voice, "Senior, is the matter too big, what should we do now?" ”
The members of the US-ROK joint patrol on the opposite side also looked nervous.
Especially the South Korean Patrol Police.
They are the last people who want to see things get to this point.
But I never expected it.
Gu Ji's tone was terrifyingly calm, "Go on, go." ”
The brown-haired white man's eyelids twitched.
He couldn't imagine where the person in front of him had the courage to ignore the threat of the US-South Korea Joint Patrol, was he really not afraid of turning into bloodshed?
He's a broken prosecutor, how dare he!
Now the brown-haired white man can't get off the stage, and if he really orders to aim now, if someone accidentally shoots and misfires because of the tension of his fingers, he will face the punishment of a court-martial, no matter what the final outcome is.
Just as he stared at Gu Ji fiercely, thinking about whether to give an order.
Suddenly, a black Lawrence sedan pulled up near both sides.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
The door opened, and a security officer in a suit and leather shoes walked straight over, still holding a document in his hand, "This is a special document that Mr. President just signed, allowing Prosecutor Kim Ji-gyu to investigate Osan Base Hospital." ”
"Woo ......"
The moment they heard this, everyone, including the people from the U.S. and South Korean patrols, breathed a sigh of relief.
This document could not have come at a better time.
Otherwise, both sides simply don't know how to end.
When Gu Ji saw the document, he took it in his hand, and without even asking, he led the person to the front of the brown-haired white man, "Get out of the way!" ”
A sneer.
He was so angry that his fingers trembled, and he almost couldn't help but want to shoot the prosecutor in front of him.
But the brown-haired white man still didn't dare to do this after all, so he could only obediently make way for Gu Ji.
Seeing the Americans deflated, the police officers of these police stations, as well as the search officer, suddenly felt inexplicably happy in their chests.
For many years, they have encountered cases committed by the US military stationed in South Korea, let alone investigated, and they didn't even dare to let out more farts, how could they ever be so tough as they are now.
"Senior, my God, you were too bold just now, if you don't have this document, do you really want to break in?"
On the way, Zhang Shiyun still couldn't calm down, and asked in Gu Ji's ear.
"There are no ifs." Gu Ji's answer surprised him a little.
But Zhang Shiyun quickly reacted.
It turned out that Gu Ji knew early in the morning that the documents would definitely be delivered.
This is the confidence of Gu Jidare to face the United States and South Korea joint patrol.
Before leaving, Lee Hyun-jung had already known his purpose, and there was no way to stop it.
As long as Gu Ji "does things absolutely", then in order to reduce the impact, the Blue House has to come forward to help him with the last step.
Sure enough.
Not long after he stepped into the base, Lee Hyun-jung's phone called.
"You kid is really bold, but I can tell you, you are only allowed to investigate the hospital, and the rest of the area, don't wander around, especially the airport area and the US military barracks area, you know?"
"Don't worry, Director Li, I'm measured."
"Are you measured? If you were really measured, you wouldn't have taken someone to pull out a gun with the US-South Korea joint patrol! ”
The last sentence proves that Li Xuanzhen has actually been secretly observing Gu Ji all along.
"Kang Sung-hoon, lock down the hospital immediately, from now on, no one in the hospital can enter or leave."
"Understood."
At the sound of the order, the CDC's medical staff and police began to pull the cord blockade of the military hospital with yellow barricades.
The military hospital is located in the middle of the South Korean military barracks and the U.S. military barracks.
There are also many shops and schools nearby.
The soldiers who passed by were basically riding bicycles, and only a small number of officers were qualified to ride motorcycles or drive, and they were also curious when they saw Gu Ji and the others.
After all, as the most important air base of the United States and South Korea, the Osan base has always been closed to the outside world, and it is rare to see so many outsiders coming in.
And Gu Ji also noticed.
Most of the soldiers here are not wearing masks.
In particular, most of the South Korean soldiers, even the dependents of the US military, have a mask per person, and the US military barracks are relatively independent from the South Korean military barracks.
This results in one result:
Once the virus spreads out of the hospital, it can quickly infect the South Korean camp.
And judging from the results released by the MERS investigation team, all the confirmed patients in South Korea are Koreans, except for one Xia Guoren.
This indicates that this mutated MERS virus is more susceptible to Asians.
Gu Ji frowned.
After Jiang Chengxun blocked the hospital, he walked straight in and shouted directly: "Who is the person in charge of the hospital?" ”
"I am."
A middle-aged Korean hospital director stood in front of him.
"I don't want to listen to any explanation from you, and I'll hand over the list of all confirmed MERS patients right away."
"Prosecutor Kim, what do you say......"
"Zhang Shiyun, take it away!"
"Huh?" Hearing the order, Zhang Shiyun couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly stretched out his hand, "Mr. Dean, I'm sorry, please come with us!" ”
"No, this, why are you arresting people! What did I do wrong......"
"Next, who is the second person in charge?"
Gu Ji directly ignored the dean's rebuttal.
The other medical staff standing on the side looked at each other, but they didn't expect the prosecutor to dare to arrest people casually in the military region, and they must have been granted permission by the high-level of the Blue House.
In the next second, a middle-aged Korean doctor with a slightly chubby body and tortoiseshell glasses.
Ignoring the obstruction of the people around him, he stood up and shouted, "I know, I can take you there." ”
"Let's go."
Gu Jigang took a step and turned his head to look at the person who was trying to stop the glasses doctor just now, who turned out to be an American, also wearing a white coat, "Are you a US military stationed in South Korea?" ”
"I'm not, I'm from the Dekerry Infectious Disease Medical Research ......"
"Take him away too."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Gu Ji waved his hand and called another investigator.
"You! What qualifications do you have to arrest me, I want to see the base commander, I want to ......"
Listening to the white doctor's shout, the rest of the medical staff subconsciously trembled.
And Gu Ji didn't pay any attention to these at all.
Follow the optician straight to the third floor.
Looking at the list in hand.
MERS infected patients: 5!
