Liu Zifeng and his three wives were all taken to the detention center.
Of course they were held in solitary confinement.
However, Lu Qi was seriously ill. He felt dizzy and weak for more than ten hours a day. In serious cases, he could hardly stand.
Liu Zifeng's pregnant concubine just cried and cried. Her baby was almost eight months old, and her belly was so big that she was put in a solitary cell with her belly bulging.
Only Liu Zifeng and his original wife were relatively normal.
Liu Zifeng didn't say much, but he and his ex-wife were cursing all the way, complaining about how bad Liu Zifeng was, the pregnant woman who was crying so annoyingly, and the sick and half-dead Lu Qi.
What a wonderful family. Lu Qin sighed that people of the same family are alike, and no wonder the three wives can live in peace and harmony.
Seeing this situation, Qu Dongbo arranged for a doctor to be sent to them, otherwise the two women might not survive until the end of the interrogation.
Lu Qin nodded.
A pregnant woman who is about to give birth and a half-dead patient really need a professional doctor to take care of them.
What's more, Lu Qin has always felt that Lu Qi's serious illness was due to the Liu family's secret.
Now that she knew the secret was cannibalism, she really wanted to know what Lu Qi's behavior had to do with cannibalism?
The hospital quickly sent professional personnel.
The person recommended by Xu Mingyan happened to be her college classmate, Hong Jiahao, who had worked as a prison doctor for a period of time and had returned to clinical work in the hospital. Now that he heard that the detention center needed a doctor, he volunteered to sign up.
Hong Jiahao quickly checked on the two of them.
There is nothing wrong with the pregnant woman. She is just a little frightened and the fetus is a little restless. She just needs to calm down and rest until delivery.
But Hong Jiahao had never seen such a strange condition like Lu Qi's. All indicators were normal, but the patient was extremely dizzy and couldn't eat anything else.
…
After four or five days of interrogation, everyone discovered that Liu Zifeng's original wife actually had no idea where the meat Liu Zifeng brought back came from. Generally speaking, she was only responsible for cooking. As long as Liu Zifeng said he wanted to eat meat, she would be responsible for washing and cooking it for the whole family to enjoy together.
Liu Zifeng was even more stubborn, and he only knew how to get goods from the tall and short guys. Occasionally, a bearded man named Julian would come to collect the money, and he would also use the official account.
This behavior has been going on for more than five months.
Lu Qin took a breath.
5 months! Based on the portion of 3 people before and 4 people later, how many people will they eat in these 5 months?
…
The two captured human traffickers, one tall and one short, were found to be just two small thugs after being tortured. They only knew that they had a big brother named Julian.
As long as they deliver human flesh to those in need at a fixed time, they can get a portion of the reward. These transactions are only conducted in a factory outside Antu County. Except for the so-called Brother Hu, the two minions have never seen any other outsiders and do not know the specific source of the human flesh.
The only people they were responsible for were Liu Jia and another bachelor living in the slums. The bachelor was also apprehended by the guards and imprisoned together in the deepest part of the detention center. However, they were all consumers, only knowing how to exchange money or various materials for the meat they needed, and not knowing or caring where it came from.
The people Qu Dongbo sent to search the factory also brought back news that no one was conducting any transactions there. They must have heard the news and fled.
The clue seemed to be broken.
…
This day.
Just when they were at a loss as to what to do about this "cannibalism case", Hong Jiahao suddenly came running to tell them that in addition to Lu Qi, Liu Zifeng's second wife, who was pregnant, also suddenly became dizzy and vomited, just like Lu Qi did at the beginning.
This must be related to cannibalism!
Lu Qin immediately noticed the connection.
Whether it is Lu Qi or the pregnant woman in Liu Zifeng's family, their symptoms are very similar to the early symptoms of the cold wave virus, so can she link cannibalism with the cold wave virus?
Once this idea came to mind, Lu Qin couldn't stop thinking about it.
If human flesh is indeed the root cause of the cold wave virus, how many cannibals are there lurking throughout Antu County? How many people have already started to carry the cold wave virus?
She couldn't imagine whether the cold wave virus had already spread throughout Antu County.
Putting down the work in his hands, Lu Qin immediately contacted Dean Fang.
Dean Fang's main area of expertise is gastroenterology, but he has also made considerable achievements in virology. Currently, there is no one in Antu County who is more authoritative in this area of research.
…
Professor Fang frowned after hearing Lu Qin's description. "Are you talking about the patient last time...who ate human flesh?"
She was a little bit unbelievable, but as a medical worker, she had seen too many unusual behaviors and had a strong mental state, so she was not afraid, but just a little bit unbelievable.
Lu Qin nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this is also our new discovery. The patient, Lu Qi, had been eating human flesh for about two months, but she only developed those symptoms over a month ago. And we also found that the members who ate human flesh with her also had similar symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. They are very similar to Lu Qi's original symptoms."
"Did the second patient also eat human flesh?" Dean Fang asked uncertainly.
Lu Qin replied: "Yes, but she has been taking it for longer, probably 4-5 months, but these symptoms have only appeared in the past two days."
Dean Fang jumped up from his chair when he heard what was said. He paced back and forth in the room, his face clearly showing anxiety.
After a moment, she said to Lu Qin, "I must see these two patients immediately! And last time, we talked about analyzing that patient's vomit. Have you done that?"
"No, I did so many tests before and nothing was found, so those tests were later dropped."
"Immediately arrange for someone to collect their vomit and send it to the hospital for analysis! Then take me to see those two patients."
Lu Qin nodded and immediately began to arrange personnel work.
"Dean Fang, do you have any idea?" Lu Qin looked at her hopefully.
Dean Fang shook his head: "It's hard to say now, but this situation reminds me of a very special disease."
"What's wrong?"
"Viral infection."
Dean Fang uttered a noun, and the sadness on his face was clearly visible, and it seemed that even his back was bent a little.
