In the infirmary.

Dr. Zhang nodded and said, "The patient is dizzy, vomiting, and has diarrhea. If it were just a simple case of food spoilage, it wouldn't be this serious, and so many people wouldn't experience this at the same time. It's most likely food poisoning."

Guan Feng said, "Okay! Dr. Zhang, thank you for your diagnosis! When will the virus test results be available?"

Dr. Zhang said, "We have arranged for someone to do the tests as soon as possible, and the results should be available before noon."

Guan Feng nodded, and was about to speak when Liu Shengguo walked in, saying in a somewhat nervous tone, "Captain, Director Zhao wants to speak with you."

Guan Feng answered the phone and asked, "Director Zhao, this is Guan Feng!"

Zhao Dong asked, "How is the situation now?"

Guan Feng said, "The overall situation is under control! I just contacted the hospital, and most of the patients are mild cases, with two or three severe cases. However, the Development Zone Hospital received a patient whose condition has deteriorated from severe to critical, and the patient is currently undergoing emergency treatment! I am preparing to go there to check on the situation!"

"Another issue is that the number of patients with vomiting and diarrhea is increasing. In the short time we've been here, the number of patients admitted to several hospitals has increased from over 50 to nearly 100. The strain on medical resources is also a problem!"

Zhao Dong said, "I will report this matter to Director Chen immediately! See if we can contact nearby hospitals in advance, or at the very least, dispatch ambulances to provide centralized treatment. In short, we cannot allow any casualties."

Guan Feng said, "That's what I meant too. I'll go to the Development Zone Hospital to check on things first, and then I'll contact you again later."

Zhao Dong said, "The First Municipal Hospital should not let its guard down either; leave one or two people on duty."

Guan Feng said, "Okay! I'll let Gao Dacheng and Liu Zhenghua leave."

Zhao Dong said, "You can arrange the personnel yourself; we'll meet at the Development Zone Hospital."

Guan Feng immediately said, "Okay! I'll go over now."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Liu Shengguo and asked, "Where's Gao Dacheng?"

Liu Shengguo said, "I'm checking on the situation in other wards."

Guan Feng said, "Call him over."

Liu Shengguo hurriedly went to call Gao Dacheng over.

Guan Feng said, "The Development Zone Hospital said there's a patient whose condition has deteriorated from critical to severe. I need to go check on the situation. You and Zheng Hua stay here and let me know as soon as the test results come out!"

Gao Dacheng immediately said, "Captain, you can go to the development zone without worry. I'll keep an eye on things here!"

Guan Feng nodded, led Liu Shengguo and the others into the car, and reminded them, "Leave one car for Dacheng, we'll take the seven-seater."

The group drove straight to the development zone hospital.

......

When Guan Feng and the others arrived, Zhao Dong also happened to be at the hospital.

Zhao Dong got out of the car, walked over, and asked, "How's the situation?"

Guan Feng said, "We just arrived! Let's go in and take a look together."

The two met up and went into the hospital.

Upon entering the outpatient department, one is greeted by a sea of ​​people, much like the situation at the First Municipal Hospital. The wards and corridors are filled with scenes of people vomiting and having diarrhea; a quick glance reveals at least thirty or forty people.

Zhao Dong frowned and said, "Why are there so many people here?"

Guan Feng sighed and said, "There are even more people at the First Municipal Hospital than here! This is likely to be a mass poisoning incident involving hundreds of people! It could be the most serious mass poisoning incident in Hua'an in the last ten years."

Zhao Dong asked, "Is the poisoning incident confirmed?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "We still need to wait for the test results, but it's highly likely!"

Zhao Dong sighed and said, "Let's go! Let's go ask what's going on."

The group arrived at the entrance of the on-duty clinic and stopped a nurse who was inquiring about the patients' conditions. Guan Feng showed his identification and said, "We are police officers, here to investigate this mass incident. What's the situation now?"

The nurse looked at the identification Guan Feng showed and nodded, saying, "Hello! The situation is that there are too many people right now, and everyone is vomiting and having diarrhea. We can't handle it all."

Guan Feng asked, "I heard that a patient who was critically ill is being resuscitated?"

The nurse said, "Yes, go to the end of this way and turn right, and the person is in the emergency room."

Guan Feng asked, "How are the others?"

The nurse said, "The others are relatively stable, most of them have mild symptoms and just need some fluids. The two critically ill patients have been admitted to the hospital, and the only critically ill patient is being resuscitated. I don't know about the others."

Guan Feng said, "Okay! Thank you for your cooperation. Let's go take a look!"

He then turned to Liu Shengguo and instructed him, "Shengguo, you and Zhao Yang stay here and help maintain order. Also, ask those patients with mild symptoms how they were poisoned! Director Zhao, shall we go to the emergency room?"

Zhao Dong said, "Let's go!"

The two arrived outside the emergency room.

The lights in the emergency room were still on. Zhao Dong and the others waited patiently outside the door. At this moment, a medical worker was about to go in when Guan Feng immediately stepped forward to stop him, showed his identification, and asked, "Hello! Is this the food poisoning patient being treated inside?"

The doctor was walking straight in when he saw the identification in Guan Feng's hand. He stopped, nodded, and said, "That's right! The patient's condition is very critical, and they are currently undergoing emergency treatment. If you want to know the results, you'll have to wait until the end. I estimate the results will be available in about ten minutes!"

Guan Feng said, "Okay! Thank you!"

After watching the doctor enter the emergency room, Guan Feng looked at Zhao Dong and said, "Director Zhao, we need to make plans for both possibilities."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "I had already reported to Director Chen before I came. He attached great importance to it and had also communicated with the vice mayor in charge of health and medical care. The strain on medical resources here is no longer a problem!"

"However, the real problem is that there is a high possibility of casualties!"

Guan Feng said, "That's exactly what I meant! Director Zhao, please wait a moment while I ask the branch office about the situation."
