Chapter 30 Hidden Hazards (III)

At 1:10 noon, Renmin Road, Zhongjiang City

Li Xiaochuan walked towards Huimin Pharmacy staggeringly. He couldn't make up his mind to go to the hospital. He decided to go to the pharmacy first to get some medicine. If his condition worsens after taking the medicine, he would go to the hospital.

He walked into the pharmacy. It was noon that there were no guests in the pharmacy. A female salesperson wearing blue work clothes greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Sir, what medicine do you buy?" The salesperson was very enthusiastic.

"I don't know," Li Xiaochuan heard his voice and was hoarse: "I have a fever, cough, and vomit blood and phlegm."

"Blood phlegm?" The salesperson was startled. She looked at Li Xiaochuan with blood-cold eyes and flushed face. She hesitated for a moment, and reached out to point to the corner of the pharmacy: "There is a doctor in our pharmacy, so you can go there first to consult."

Li Xiaochuan looked in the direction of the salesperson's finger. There was a table in the corner of the pharmacy. A bald man in a white coat was waving to him with a smile.

Li Xiaochuan walked over with hope. The bald man greeted Li Xiaochuan to sit down and asked about his condition casually. Then he looked over Li Xiaochuan's eyelids and then touched Li Xiaochuan's pulse. After doing all this, he said: "You are due to liver and kidney deficiency, resulting in poor qi and blood, and you are suffering from wind and cold, so you have frequent coughing, chills and fever. These are all signs of the phenomenon, and the core root cause is still because of your kidney deficiency!"

"Then what medicine should I take?" Li Xiaochuan covered his chest and asked with difficulty.

The bald man took out a box of "XX brand kidney good" from under the table like a magic trick, and said seriously: "This is a new kidney-tonifying medicine released by xx pharmaceutical factory, and the effect is very good. It is specifically designed for your condition of weak kidney qi. If you take this medicine, I guarantee that you will cure your kidney deficiency within 3 courses!"

Li Xiaochuan looked at the colorfully packaged medicine in front of him and asked hesitantly: "How much does this cost?"

"Not expensive," the bald man slapped the medicine box with his hands and quickly reported a series of numbers: "1 box is 87 yuan, 3 boxes are one course, 3 courses are 9 boxes... a total of 783 yuan!"

783 yuan! Li Xiaochuan hesitated a little - how many kilograms of vegetables do you have to sell!

"Brother," the bald man looked at Li Xiaochuan's face and induced him step by step: "Money is something outside the body. If you don't bring it, you won't take it away. People cannot suffer for money, right? As long as you cure the disease and have a healthy body - are you afraid that you won't make it back for a few hundred dollars?"

Li Xiaochuan was about to speak, suddenly his throat itched and he burst into a violent cough. The bald man sighed and said, "Look, your condition is very serious, you have to take medicine as soon as possible."

Li Xiaochuan raised his head with difficulty and said with difficulty: "This medicine...I bought it! Apart from this medicine, do I have to take other medicines?"

The bald man hesitated for a moment and said, "I will prescribe some anti-inflammatory and cough-relieving medicines, and take them together, and the effect will be better."

Wang Hai drove into Longkeng Town in a police car quickly. After entering the town, the road on the ground became uneven, and Wang Hai had to slow down.

"This is a broken highway," Wang Hai carefully drove the car to avoid the holes on the road, and cursed, "The Longkeng Town Government won't repair it."

"It's too poor here." Zhang Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, responded casually, and suddenly saw a black stone on the ground in front of him, and quickly shouted: "Be careful."

Wang Hai subconsciously stepped on the brakes, but the car turned off.

"What are you yelling?" Wang Hai opened the car door, jumped out of the car, trying to move the black stone blocking in front of him. However, he stopped. The black thing on the ground was not a stone at all, but... a dead big mouse. The dead mouse lay on a large mud ball, and from a distance it looked like a black stone.

"I met a dead rat again, so bad luck!" Wang Hai spitted on the ground, turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, his body shook, turned his head, and stared at the dead rat on the ground.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with a dead mouse? " Zhang Yu walked out of the car and saw the dead mouse on the ground. He raised his foot and wanted to kick the mouse away.

"Wait!" Wang Hai grabbed Zhang Yu: "This mouse may not be able to move!"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Hai with a blank look on his face, but Wang Hai looked very solemn.

"When we left Taiping Town just now, we ran into a dead mouse, and now it's another one!" Wang Hai said slowly: "Don't you think there are too many dead mice we encountered today?"

Zhang Yu was stunned.

"Our mission is to investigate whether anyone has purchased mice in each township," Wang Hai raised his eyebrows: "Now, two dead mice have been found in two townships 50 kilometers apart. Is there no connection between the two?"

Although the command center is still strictly confidential about the possibility of spreading plague by suspects, Wang Hai still heard some rumors as the deputy captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade. First, on the evening of the 12th, after Gao Fei investigated the murder of the police in Shuangqiao Town by a criminal suspect who forged a Thai passport, he urgently mobilized the police to block Shuangqiao and settled two villages and towns in the field. Then a large number of military and police went into the mountains to search for the suspects despite the danger of the hidden rats in the mountains. In addition, the Provincial Police Director Xie Guoqiang personally sat in the battle and mobilized a group of elite police officers to quickly find out whether there were criminal suspects in each township and had acquired rats. Wang Hai understood that the inside story was definitely not simple! Now, the continuous discovery of dead rats in two townships made him vaguely guess the truth of the matter - was it... plague!? Wang Hai was shocked and sweated.

Seeing Zhang Yu's confused expression on his face, Wang Hai patted his shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the town government first!"

"Then this mouse?" Zhang Yu pointed to the mouse on the ground.

Wang Hai thought for a while, walked to the car and opened the back box, took out a mask, a glove, a pair of pliers and several special plastic bags.

He first put on gloves, then covered his mouth and nose tightly with a mask, then squatted down and carefully put the dead rat into the plastic bag with pliers. He tied the plastic bag tightly with a rope, then put it on with a plastic bag, and tied it tightly. Finally, he put the pliers, gloves, and mask in another plastic bag.

After doing all this, Wang Hai carefully put the plastic bags into the back box, closed the back box before breathing a long sigh.

"Captain Wang, this mouse... has a virus?" Zhang Yu asked stammered.

"Don't ask anything." Wang Hai's face darkened and he stretched out his hand to open the car door: "Let's go to the town government immediately, and also, contact the Taiping Town Police Station immediately to ask about their progress there!"

At 23:10 pm on December 15th, a small hotel on Renmin Road, Zhongjiang City.

"Boss, Boss!" A noise suddenly came from the hotel: "Someone can't do it anymore, come quickly!"

The proprietress who was sitting at the entrance of the hotel was suddenly panicked. She hurriedly threw away the melon seeds in her hand and turned around and rushed into the hotel.

"Who can't do it?" the boss lady rushed into the noisy room and asked loudly.

This is a room of more than ten square meters. There are 6 beds in the room. Three men who look like migrant workers are sitting on their beds and looking at a man lying on the bed by the window from a distance.

"It's him!" A migrant worker pointed at the lying person: "I vomited a lot of blood just now, but now I can't wake up."

The boss lady walked over, stretched her head and looked at it. The man in front of her was already in a coma, with some purple and black spots on her flushed face. The boss lady touched his forehead with her hands, it was so hot!

The boss's wife recalled it and finally remembered the name of this person when she checked in.

"Li Xiaochuan! Li Xiaochuan!" The boss's wife pushed the unconscious man with her hand, but the man did not respond.

"What should I do?" The boss lady was a little panicked: "If he died in the hotel, who can bear this responsibility?"

"Go and call an ambulance!" a migrant worker reminded him.

"Yes, yes! Call an ambulance!" The proprietress reacted and ran out in a flash.

At 23:50, an ambulance hurried to the hotel door. Two staff members in white coats jumped out of the car and rushed into the hotel with stretchers. Three minutes later, Li Xiaochuan, who was unconscious, was carried into the ambulance. The ambulance sounded the sharp flute and whistled away.

In the ambulance, a doctor wearing a mask turned on Li Xiaochuan's eyelids and looked at it, and immediately concluded: "No! The patient is already in a deep coma, so he must be rescued quickly!"

At 1:40 am on the 16th, the Emergency Room of Zhongjiang Emergency Center.

The rescued doctor looked at the electrocardiogram that had turned into a straight line and shook his head helplessly: "Record, the patient's rescue is ineffective and he has died."

"Cause of death?" asked the nurse of the record.

"Heart failure leads to death." The doctor turned his head and looked at the deceased lying on the emergency table. The purple-black spots on the deceased's face made him feel moved. He grabbed the deceased's right hand and cut the sleeves on his arm with scissors. The deceased's arms were filled with purple-black spots!

The doctor gasped. He took off his gloves and touched the forehead of the deceased with his hand. The tentacles were actually hot! The doctor's face suddenly turned pale. Although he had never encountered such a case, he had learned a kind of disease in the infectious disease course in college, a terrible disease that would make a person continue to have a fever after death and appear purple-black spots!

"Close the emergency room! No one is allowed to enter!" The doctor shouted loudly, driving all the others in the emergency room out. Then the doctor hurried to his office and dialed a phone number.

At 2:20 am on the 16th, two cars roared to the gate of the emergency center and stopped. 7 or 8 sleepy people jumped out of the car and hurried into the gate of the emergency center. The leader was a white-haired old man.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the white-haired old man walked to an office with a heavy face, locked the door, and then called a phone number. The phone rang several times before being answered by the person there.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Governor Qin? I am Zhong Nan from the expert group of the Capital Ministry of Health."

"Oh, it's Professor Zhong, is there anything wrong with this early?" Governor Qin on the phone was very polite.

Professor Zhong Nan was silent for a while before slowly saying: "There is a bad news. We found a plague patient in the municipal emergency center...the patient has died."

"Plague?!" Governor Qin was shocked on the phone: "Has it been verified?"

"It has been confirmed through serum testing," Professor Zhong Nan's voice was deep: "It is the most serious pneumococcal plague."
