Chapter 20 The Mass Poisoning Case in Xintiandi Pedestrian Street



Feng Lei and his girlfriend Zhong Fan walked out of the movie theater hand in hand. He was very satisfied with today's movie, "The Lone Warrior," not only because of the movie itself, but also because of the movie, the two finally confirmed their relationship.

At this moment, Feng Lei wanted to shout to the heavens, "Hahaha, God is so good to me! I, Feng Lei, have finally found love today!"

"Xiao Fan, it's only a little past ten o'clock, let's grab some late-night snacks together!"

"Okay, whatever you say!" Zhong Fan's face was flushed. Although Feng Lei wasn't her first boyfriend, she had gotten to know this young man quite well over the time they had known each other.

With the added bonus of today's movie plot, it was only natural that the two ended up together.

The two went to the food court near the movie theater and chose a barbecue stall they frequented.

"Boss, ten skewers of lamb kidneys, ten skewers of pork belly, and whatever else you like, just make it 200 yuan!"

Feng Lei was a regular at this restaurant. After ordering the barbecue, he asked, "Xiao Fan, what would you like to drink?"

"I'd like something iced today. I see that milk tea shop across the street has a promotion—Cherry Blossom Cloud Dream Tea, buy one get one free today. Shall we try it?"

Feng Lei didn't hear the rest, but he instantly understood just from the sentence "We can have iced drinks today".

With a crooked smile, I arrived at the Rumeng Milk Tea shop, waited in line for a few minutes, and then happily carried two cups of milk tea back to my seat.

Before long, the barbecue arrived one after another. Looking at the table full of Zn energy, Zhong Fan smiled shyly. This guy wasn't planning on getting a proper rest tonight.

Enjoying hot and spicy barbecue while sipping delicious milk tea.

They chatted about everything under the sun, and their relationship continued to grow stronger.

"This Yunmeng tea tastes great! It has both the sweet and sour flavor of oranges and the refreshing aroma of tea leaves. It's really good!"

"Yes, just as sweet as you!"

Before they knew it, they had almost finished the barbecue. Feng Lei glanced at his watch; it was time to move on to the next activity.

"Brother Lei, my stomach hurts a little!"

Zhong Fan clutched his stomach, and a fine layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Could it be that the barbecue wasn't clean and you got an upset stomach?"

Feng Lei was about to get up and question the boss. If the barbecue incident delayed important matters, he would not let the boss off the hook.

However, before he could make a move, the same thing happened at the table next to him.

The two people on the table foamed at the mouth, collapsed to the ground, and their eyes had already rolled back.

"Ah!" Feng Lei was surprised, and Zhong Fan next to him also cried out in pain, fell to the ground, and foamed at the mouth.

Zhong Fan's symptoms seemed more severe; after the white foam subsided, blood began to gush out.

Feng Lei was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Lei finally came to his senses and was about to call the police and seek medical attention when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

A moment later, Feng Lei, like Zhong Fan and everyone else in the barbecue restaurant, lay on the ground.

First, his eyes rolled back and he foamed at the mouth, but soon he started bleeding from his mouth and nose.

The barbecue restaurant staff were left dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do.

When the ambulance arrived, all 23 young people in the barbecue restaurant were unconscious.

Before they even reached the hospital, eighteen of them had already lost vital signs.

In general, food poisoning incidents, as long as no one dies, will not alarm the Anseiji (the Imperial Household Department). Even if someone accidentally dies, the Anseiji will not be notified unless absolutely necessary.

However, no one expected that such an event would be so extraordinary!

Li Nan discovered the incident at home on the morning of October 2nd. After working hard for half a year, she finally had a holiday and wanted to rest properly.

However, his stomach disagreed. Wearing only a thin coat and carrying his phone, he rushed into the toilet, relieving himself while scrolling through the daily news.

Suddenly, he was stunned by the same message that was being pushed to his phone in rapid succession.

"Something terrible has happened!" Li Nan pulled up his pants, rushed out of the bathroom, and pulled Qin Wen, who was putting on makeup in the bedroom, up.

"Qin Wen, something terrible has happened! Come back to the company with me right now!"

This time, the media was noticeably faster than the Anding Division, after all, it happened on the busiest pedestrian street in Tanhua City, and it was a major event that occurred during the National Day holiday!

According to incomplete statistics from mainstream media, on October 1st alone...

For reasons that are still unclear, a series of food poisoning incidents have occurred in Xintiandi Pedestrian Street in Tanhua City, resulting in 101 deaths and injuries, including 56 fatalities!

Because there are too many snack stalls on the pedestrian street, the cause of the poisoning cannot be determined at the moment.

Local patrol officers have been mobilized and the pedestrian street was closed off last night.

However, the speed of information spreads online is too fast. Although the patrol team blocked the shops and pedestrians in the area immediately, they could not completely block the network.

As a result, countless official media outlets and independent media have now flocked to the pedestrian street.

Many curious pedestrians raised their phones to record this dramatic event.

The incident occurred last night, and by the early hours of the next day, it had escalated significantly.

Despite the best efforts of the hospital doctors, another 21 of the remaining poisoned individuals still lost their lives.

The remaining 24 people are no longer in immediate danger, but they remain in a coma.

In this incident, Yasusada's response was indeed far too slow.

This is related to both the National Day holiday and the division of departmental functions.

When Li Nan came out of Xiong Sifu's office looking dejected, it was already 7:46 a.m.

After the members of the Destiny Department gathered in the conference room, Li Nan said urgently, "Comrades, the situation is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point!"
