Sibutramine hydrochloride was once a very popular weight-loss drug and has been selling well in countries around the world since its inception. Around 2008, a major brand company voluntarily stopped producing this drug. In 2010, its production and use were banned in the country and it was later included in the list of banned drugs.
Generally speaking, a person's daily intake should not exceed 10 mg. Unscrupulous businessmen have changed the concept and lowered the concentration to three times a day, three to five mg each time, and added it to weight-loss foods.
A few milligrams are put into cookies, and there are thousands of milligrams of sugar in one cookie, but there is no extra flavor at all.
The drug has caused dozens of deaths in some countries.
There are basically three types of weight loss drugs. The first type is to lose weight by affecting the nervous system and reducing appetite; the second type is to reduce the gastrointestinal system's ability to absorb high-calorie foods; the third type is basically a placebo.
Sometimes doctors can prescribe orlistat to obese patients. This drug belongs to the second type. It prevents the stomach and intestines from absorbing oil. Therefore, if the patient takes this medicine and then eats fatty meat, oil will flow out from the stomach through the outlet.
If you search for Orlistat on some shopping websites, you will see a lot of weight loss products. After taking this, you will have to prepare adult diapers...
If you search for sibutramine now, the only results that will come out are sibutramine test strips.
But this does not mean that this thing does not exist, it just exists in other forms and in some illegal sales channels.
For example, micro-business.
Facts have proven that some of the things sold by micro-businesses are unlikely to be better than the qualified products produced by truly large companies. The reason is simple: capital is profit-seeking. If a product was really that good, then big companies would have been churning out products.
However, there is never a shortage of lazy fools and diligent liars in this world.
…
Human evolution is not designed, but a makeshift one. Like many animals, humans are good at storing calories (fat) so that they can better survive harsh environments. Therefore, losing weight goes against human instinct, and it is indeed difficult to do so with drugs.
But all this cannot change some people's love of beauty and their not-so-bright brains.
Many highly praised drugs still contain this substance, mainly because the cost is too low.
Many people may find it hard to imagine that the production cost of the "high-end weight-loss drugs" they bought for hundreds of dollars is only a few cents.
…
Chief Li gave a general account of the case and then discussed the next steps directly with Bai Song.
People from the police station are taking statements from the WeChat merchants who are selling goods.
Although this micro-business owner herself may not know that what she is selling is toxic and harmful, and she may not even know what sibutramine is, this does not affect the nature of her behavior at all.
This micro-businessman is already scared.
Half of the police officers from the police station were sent out at noon, mainly through the communication of this WeChat businessman, to recover the drugs that had already been sold.
At this moment, Teacher Song has already rushed to the hospital and is dealing with Xiao Yue's affairs.
The person is already dead, there is nothing we can do about it. What we need to do now is to destroy this criminal den.
…
Since this thing is not a drug, even Bai Song knows the chemical synthesis method of this thing.
"The current situation is like this. The problem is that the WeChat businessman we caught is called Jia Zhu. She gets her goods from a friend of hers, and we have already got control of her. This person has dozens of other channels that must be closed now." Li said, "This is a troublesome matter, and the most important thing is that the manufacturer has not been found. Jia Zhu's supplier, a man named Geng Nan, said that he would wait at the entrance of a park every time. The deliverymen would pass by there every afternoon, and would trade with him when they saw him."
"Then can't we just send people to block that place?" Bai Song asked.
"It's like this. Our people have already gone there, but there are a lot of cars at the entrance of the park. No car would stop unless Geng Nan went there." Li Suo said, "This Geng Nan is completely different from Jia Zhu. We generally think that Geng Nan's words are not trustworthy, so we dare not bring him to the scene to disguise him. I even suspect that he will make a move, and then the delivery person will know that we have arrested him."
"Well, we also think your plan is good." Bai Song said, "What is the current situation of blocking the mouth and recovering toxic and harmful drugs? Has anyone else been poisoned?"
"No one has been found yet. We are mainly targeting Jia Zhu's customers, which are not many, only about ten people. We have already checked half of them. There are two problems. One is where are the other people under Geng Nan and the corresponding people; the second is that we are not sure how many people like Geng Nan there are." Captain Li said: "I wonder if the criminal police have any other better ideas?"
In fact, there is generally no good solution. This case has to be investigated in this way.
"Why do you feel that Geng Nan's words are not credible?" Bai Song asked.
"The level of our veteran police officers is still good. They can easily tell that this person is lying." Li defended the reputation of his comrades in the unit.
"He doesn't have to." Bai Song thought for a moment: "If he doesn't want to be the main culprit, why doesn't he confess?"
"Maybe he wanted to conceal the truth so that he could say he didn't know the ingredients in the drug. If he really did, he could get a lighter sentence." Li sneered, "But he's just dreaming. This is impossible."
"Well, let's start working sooner." Bai Song said, "Has our institute started checking the sales of parachlorobenzyl chloride?"
"Green feces?" Li frowned: "What is this?"
"Any production raw material can be found on Baidu." Bai Song said: "Check the sales records of some chemical plants, mainly the sales records of some small plants."
"Okay, I'll trouble you with this matter." Li Suo thought for a moment and agreed to Bai Song's suggestion.
As the leader of the criminal police detachment, Bai Song quickly arranged all the people from the detachment to different places.
This case actually requires a lot of manpower, so the police station also mobilized a lot of energy to investigate today. And if no one died, the police station could actually slowly succeed in handling this case.
But once Xiao Yue died, the situation escalated.
Xiao Yue's family came, but her boyfriend didn't. It's not that her boyfriend was not considerate, but the institute didn't even notify him. Because legally, boyfriend and girlfriend are equal to zero and do not have any legal relationship.
