Mystery Tracker 2

April 8, 31:15 p.m.

When the police car drove into the customs building, all the people in the building had been evacuated outside.Although it was already past the afternoon when the sun was strongest, the heat on the ground was still scorching. In addition, after just coming out of the air-conditioned room, in just ten minutes, some people's faces were covered with sweat.Most people didn't know what happened, they just thought it was a boring "earthquake drill" and chatted to pass the time.Seeing the police car driving into the courtyard, everyone's attention was focused, and there were voices of discussion again in the crowd.

A lot of people came from the Public Security Bureau of City H this time, and the leader was Deputy Director Deng Changqing.Seeing a few people get off the bus, Qin Mingsheng, the head of the customs office in H City, and Director Yuan, the director of the office, immediately greeted them. The two sides first introduced each other, and then the head of the Qin introduced: "Everyone has already evacuated. According to your suggestion , we have informed everyone not to use the air conditioner."

"Okay." Director Deng Changqing nodded, and then he nodded to the few policemen behind him, and those people immediately walked back to the car, took off pieces of equipment from the car, and began to put them on.Someone from the customs side looked here curiously, and when they saw that they were wearing explosion-proof suits, the discussion in the courtyard spread "coaxingly".Many people knew that the criminal police team was ambushed by a criminal bomb. Could it be that the murderer planted the bomb here again?But the morning news also reported that the gangster was shot dead...

Here, Chief Qin is still talking to Chief Deng, "...After I received your notice the day before yesterday, I asked the Security Office to strengthen the management of access. I didn't expect someone to take advantage of the loophole. This time we were negligent." Chief Qin admitted his mistake.Director Deng said in relief: "Fortunately, nothing has happened yet, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes. It will be fine when they find out the bomb."

Next to them, Hou Xilong, the logistics supervisor, was also briefing Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong on what happened. "...I was in touch with this matter a few days ago, because it happened before the explosion, so I was a little careless. At that time, I just looked at the things in his bag and let him in, alas..."

"Director Hou," Cheng Jinsong said, "People generally choose to clean the air conditioner at the beginning of summer. Why do you start doing this work at this time?"

"Well, in fact, the customs building only began to install air conditioners two or three years ago. Before that, we never thought about cleaning it up. This year, the after-sales service of the air conditioning company called us a few days ago and asked if we needed to clean it up. Air conditioner. The little girl after sales said that the air conditioner should be cleaned regularly, and they can come to clean it. I asked her how much it was, and she said that since we are a big customer, she can give us a discount. I said I would think about it. I will ask the leader for instructions After it was approved, the leader approved it, so I contacted them and asked them to send someone over..."

"Director Hou," Shen Yan interrupted him, "When this person called, didn't you doubt their identity?"

"Sorry, I didn't think too much about it at the time." Hou Changxi looked ashamed, "Because she came up and said that we had installed their air conditioner, and what she said was very similar to customer service, and when I called, there was someone there. The ringtone of 'XX air conditioner', I believed it was real..."

Cheng and Chen looked at each other - the murderer's trick is not new, but it works very well.Ordinary people will naturally think that this is the company's customer service call when they hear the company's advertising ring tone. No wonder the murderer will succeed.

"Director Hou, what is the other party's phone number?"

"I wrote this down in the phone book on my desk, and I'll find it for you when I get back later."

"it is good."

After Shen Yan asked Director Hou about the situation, he walked back to Deng Changqing with Cheng Jinsong.Shen Yan briefly introduced the situation to the two leaders, and then waited with them for the result inside.Three bomb disposal crews have searched nearly three floors, but no bombs have been found so far.

"Ahem," at this moment, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s walked up to Chief Qin, "Director, we're going to check at the pier later, cough...the time is coming..."

Chief Qin turned his head and saw that it was Wang Muyuan from the anti-smuggling department. Chief Qin nodded: "Okay, then you all go first."

"But we have some receipts in the office." Having said that, Wang Muyuan coughed twice, "Can you ask the people inside to send them out for a cough..."

Hearing that Wang Muyuan was coughing all the time, Deng Changqing asked with concern: "Old Wang, what's wrong with you, do you have a cold?"

"Ahem... I don't know, my throat is a bit uncomfortable, maybe the air conditioner was blowing too much just now..."

Wang Muyuan smiled apologetically, then coughed again.Probably feeling embarrassed, he quickly turned his face to the side.And when he turned his head, Cheng Jinsong at the side suddenly noticed that there were some red pimples on Wang Muyuan's neck.Cheng Jinsong's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Wang Dui, when did you get the rash on your neck?"

"Huh?" Wang Muyuan rubbed his neck in confusion, "Where?"

As he raised his hand, Cheng Jinsong keenly noticed that there were some pimple marks on his hands.The uneasiness in Cheng Jinsong's heart became more and more obvious, and he asked, "Is the air conditioner turned on in your room today?"

"Yes."

"When did it start?"

"The weather is a bit stuffy today. I turned on the air conditioner when I entered the house in the morning."

Cheng Jinsong raised his wrist to look at his watch. It is now past 15:[-] in the afternoon, and it has been more than seven hours since [-]:[-] in the morning.He continued to ask: "Did your cough and pimples start to appear in the afternoon?"

"It should be...I..."

Before Wang Mu could finish his original sentence, Cheng Jinsong's expression changed drastically. He snatched the walkie-talkie from Deng Ju and shouted, "Dangerous! Come out, you guys!"

16 points.

The CDC's car arrived at the H city customs within ten minutes.It was preliminarily confirmed by the quick test of the test paper that several people in the anti-smuggling department were indeed infected with bacillus anthrax.Immediately, the staff of the CDC set up a temporary isolation tent in the hospital, and all the people who had entered that room in the morning and those who had just had contact with them were sent inside one by one for thorough washing and disinfection.All their belongings were confiscated and destroyed.In order to prevent other poisoned people, everyone was asked not to leave until it was confirmed that they were not infected with anthrax.On the other side, staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put on full chemical protective suits, walked into the building, and tested all rooms for anthrax.

Cheng and Chen, who had chatted with Wang Muyuan, were also asked to change their clothes and disinfect them.When the two came out of the disinfection room wearing the clothes distributed by the CDC, Director Du of the CDC handed the two ciprofloxacin tablets: "Although I think it is unlikely that you two will be recruited, you two Just eat it."

The two took the pills, then Shen Yan pointed to the customs building and asked eagerly, "How is it, Director Du, how is the inspection inside?"

"They have already inspected two floors," Director Du said. "Anthrax bacteria were detected in the air-conditioning boxes of the two offices of the Anti-smuggling Department, and a small amount of powder has not been blown away. The rest have not been found yet."

Hearing this, Shen Yan frowned deeply.When the disinfection treatment was carried out just now, three people from the anti-smuggling department, including Gang Wang Muyuan, had already developed symptoms.Thinking of the situation of those few people who kept coughing just now, and looking at the hundreds of people behind him who didn't know their fate, Shen Yan couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Director Du, Captain Wang and the others...will their lives be in danger?..."

"To be honest, I don't dare to promise you now. Director Du said truthfully, "In general, patients are infected with anthrax through skin contact, so even if they get sick, it is mostly cutaneous anthrax. This subtype is less dangerous. Not fatal.But this time the situation is different. The patient is inhaled through breathing. In this case, the lungs are the first to be infected, and then the blood and brain may be reached. The mortality rate of these subtypes is very high. "Seeing Shen Yan's pale face, Director Du added: "But fortunately, we discovered it in time.The survival rate of anthrax has a great relationship with the treatment time, the earlier the detection, the higher the survival rate.In general clinical practice, it is often impossible to quickly determine whether the patient has anthrax, which often delays the timing of treatment.This time you confirmed anthrax so quickly and bought time, I believe they will be lucky. "

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yan looked at Cheng Jinsong gratefully - if Cheng Jinsong hadn't noticed the problem keenly just now, today's consequences would be really unimaginable... Cheng Jinsong noticed his gaze, patted him comfortingly, and then said Director Du said: "Director Du, please ask your staff to take a sample of the virus first and send it for testing immediately. The time is urgent, and I want to get the status of the strain as soon as possible."

Director Du also understood the importance of this matter, nodded, and immediately ordered the people below to contact inside.Then, he asked with concern: "Who did this? The explosion the day before yesterday, and today's biochemical attack. Why are there terrorists?"

"I can't explain the specific situation in a sentence or two. But I want to know, where is the anthrax virus in this city? Or, what kind of people have the conditions to create or be exposed to this virus?"

"Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis, which mainly exists in the body of herbivorous animals such as cattle, horses, and sheep. Humans are prone to infection after coming into contact with sick animals or eating the meat of sick animals. This strain It is very dangerous, so special institutions are required to be qualified for research or storage. But in fact, general purification is not difficult, and people who have access to sick animals and have knowledge of microorganisms can produce basic strains."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yan frowned deeply.According to Director Du, there are many more people with this ability than he expected.A full investigation will still take time.However, what they lack most at the moment is time.what to do?Where should one start looking? ! ...

Just when Shen Yan was burning with anxiety, Cheng Jinsong suddenly grabbed Shen Yan's arm: "Shen Yan, I remember you told me in the afternoon that there is a girl in the Wei family who is a microbiologist?!"

Shen Yan opened his eyes suddenly——

"You mean Wei Jie?!"
