At this time, the director of the internal medicine department immediately said, "Yes, many patients have a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, close to 40 degrees Celsius. Some serious patients have even become unconscious and have convulsions. Many people also say that they have stomach pain, similar to colic."

Chen Liangan then said: "Some of the patients this time had high blood pressure, which stimulated their chronic diseases, and many of them suffered from sudden heart attacks."

After Qin Sheng finished listening to the different departments, he remained silent. The hospital director asked, "Professor Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Sheng frowned and said, "This matter may not be that simple. Don't you think that the symptoms of the patients are very similar to the reaction of a damaged immune system? According to what you said, if they had not eaten at the same place, it is very likely that they were poisoned by someone. But where could the poison be placed to cause so many people to have problems at the same time?"

Gu Yuanzhi also said: "We in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine have checked the pulses of the patients. Their pulses are very strong. Their bodies have been damaged in a short period of time. It is estimated that there will be complications later, but they have not yet manifested. I think it may be a problem with the water source. Only if there is a problem with the water source can so many people be poisoned at the same time."

When the hospital director heard this, he felt that something serious might have happened, so he called the police immediately. The police had known about this matter for a long time, and when they heard what the hospital director said, they immediately sent senior police officers to the hospital.

After listening to the comprehensive opinions of various departments, the police set up a special task force to investigate the patient's residence.

The news media also followed up on this incident in a timely manner, and mentioned the information released by the police at the press conference. The whole capital was in a panic. After learning that there might be a problem with the water source, the mineral water in the supermarket was quickly sold out, and instant foods such as instant noodles were all sold out.

The police also sent experts to major water plants in Beijing to collect samples, paying special attention to areas with a large number of patients.

It takes a certain amount of time from sampling to testing results. People in the entire capital were trembling with fear and dared not drink tap water. Even those who had filters at home were worried about whether there would be any residue. Many people fled to other provinces and cities to avoid the problem that day.

The next day, the medical staff of Jinghua Hospital were still very busy. Fortunately, after everyone's awareness of prevention was improved, the number of patients sent in during the day began to decrease. At present, as long as this group of sick people can be controlled, half of the success will be achieved.

However, the reality is often more cruel. The patients’ fever began to subside the next day, but they began to cough, cough up blood, have bloody stools, etc. Some serious patients even suffered respiratory failure and needed a ventilator to maintain their lives.

Gu Shanzhi always pays attention to news reports. She is also worried about the situation of her relatives and friends. Almost all the medical students she knows have settled in the hospital, and the entire Jinghua Hospital is crowded with people.

Medical staff and patients almost filled the entire Jinghua Hospital.

"Why is this happening?" Gu Shanzhi was also anxiously waiting for the results to be announced by the police.

"Maybe it was just an accident, or something done by some sociopath."

"That's too cruel. If it was someone who poisoned the animal, he should be caught and sentenced to death for killing so many innocent people."

Gu Shanzhi felt very uncomfortable when he saw the old people and children in the news, all of whom were groaning in pain.

"The police should have a result soon. Instead, we need to pay attention to the water source at home."

Grandpa Gu said at this time: "We use an independent water storage tank at home. After the problem occurred, we have already shut off the water supply pipe in time. Now the water is enough for us to use for a few days. We just need to wait for the police to investigate."

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough. The Lu family's old house uses natural spring water that doesn't go through the water plant. If there's not enough water, we can move to the Lu family's old house."

At this time, Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh that his ancestors had chosen a good location, with free access to clean water and a commanding geographical location. The safety factor of the Lu family's old house was quite high.

Gu Shanzhi was still very worried and reminded Bai Zhenzhu to be careful. However, after Bai Zhenzhu returned home that night, the whole family started feeling unwell after dinner and were all sent to the hospital.

The most serious case was that of pregnant Sister Bai. Her child was still in an unstable stage. After experiencing this incident again, she miscarried that night. Sister Bai cried until she was hoarse. She was half dead, but she was still worried about her unborn child.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were not in much better condition. They were old and in poor health, and they both had high fever that night.

Bai Zhenzhu and her brother Bai, who have always been strong and healthy, also suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, but compared with the two siblings, Brother Bai's condition was more serious. Little Princess Bai Zhenzhu was actually the one with the mildest symptoms in the family. She thought it must be because she had been eating Gu Shanzhi's nutritious confinement meals every day during this period, which helped her body to improve its resistance.

When Bai Zhenzhu received Gu Shanzhi's message, she had no strength left and lay on the hospital bed. After a long time, she said in a voice message, "It's too late. I've already collapsed."
