After feeding the poisoned customer with soapy water, Chen Xiaoru asked the waiter to help, lift the poisoned customer up, and gently pat his back.
"vomit……"
After a while, the poisoned guest began to vomit, spitting out some food residues and some black liquid.
Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained grim. She knew this was only a temporary relief, and true detoxification would require a doctor's diagnosis and treatment.
"The doctor is here! The doctor is here!"
The guy who had run out to call a doctor came hurriedly with an old man carrying a medicine box.
Chen Xiaoru rushed over and said, "Doctor, please take a look! This patient has been poisoned! I induced vomiting in him."
The old man did not dare to delay. He put down the medicine box, walked quickly to the poisoned guest, and began to take his pulse, check his tongue, and ask about his condition.
Chen Xiaoru was waiting anxiously on the side.
After a moment, the old man stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "This guest has indeed been poisoned, and it's a slow-acting poison. Although the toxicity is not strong, it can be life-threatening if the poison is not detoxified in time."
Chen Xiaoru's heart sank. It was indeed poison! And it was a chronic poison! The person who did this was truly vicious!
"Doctor, can that...can that be solved?" Chen Xiaoru's voice trembled a little.
The old man nodded and said, "It can be cured, but it will take some time. I will give him acupuncture first to control the poison, and then I will prescribe a prescription. If you take it on time, he will be cured within seven days."
As he spoke, the old man took out a silver needle from the medicine box and began to give acupuncture to the poisoned guest.
Chen Xiaoru felt relieved a little, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Doctor, where does this poison come from?" Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but ask. She had to find out the source of the poison before she could completely solve the problem.
As the old man was administering acupuncture, he said, "This poison... is similar to 'Three Steps Down,' but somewhat different. It seems to have been modified. The toxicity is more subtle and the onset is slower..."
"Three-step poison?" Chen Xiaoru was shocked. This was a common poison, colorless and odorless, difficult to detect, but a slightly larger dose would be fatal.
"This poison must have been put into the food..." the old man continued, "Moreover, the person who poisoned it must be quite proficient in pharmacology. Being able to control the poison so precisely is truly remarkable."
