Chapter 206: Same Symptoms
"The later things you all know. He stuffed me hard into that rockery cave. That cave was too small, and I couldn't get in at all. He kicked and kicked. I knew all the skin on my body was rubbed off..." Su Jing said, sobbing. "The moment the stone sealed the cave entrance, I thought I was dead. Fortunately, you came... woo woo woo..." As she spoke, she suddenly began to cough violently. This coughing sound was not entirely because of crying, but even carried a whistling sound.
Looking at the situation getting more and more serious, Zhong Kui decisively pressed the call button. Soon, doctors and nurses rushed over.
After a rescue, the situation stabilized.
Looking at Su Jing wearing a nebulizer mask, Qi Fei asked the doctor puzzledly: "Didn't you say before that there were only skin wounds? Why is she coughing so violently suddenly?"
The doctor looked at the report, seemingly very confused: "The patient has severe respiratory tract damage, as well as bronchospasm and pulmonary edema... Didn't she get injured at the zoo?"
Hearing the three words "pulmonary edema," Qi Fei only felt familiar and immediately thought of it, saying to Wu Shanqiu: "Isn't this the cause of Chen Hao's death?!"
"Oh, right!" Wu Shanqiu also felt it was a coincidence. "Both were in the Bird Pavilion, and both were pulmonary edema."
Qi Fei immediately grabbed the doctor's arm: "From Su Jing's situation, can we infer the reason?" Chen Hao was already dead when he was found, and the exact cause of pulmonary edema could not be found. But Su Jing was still alive. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited.
Sure enough, the doctor immediately said: "From our experience, her situation is acute respiratory tract damage caused by chlorine poisoning. We need to find out if the patient has been exposed to places with high chlorine concentration."
"Chlorine?" Qi Fei frowned. "The place where they had the accident was the Bird Pavilion. There are rare birds. There shouldn't be such harmful gases, right?"
Zhong Kui played with her small copper knife from the side: "You also said it should be. Why not ask the zoo?"
The weather in Nancheng this spring has been very good, and the sunlight is so fierce that it seems to have entered summer ahead of schedule.
In the Bird Pavilion, Qi Fei brought a team of people back again. As soon as he arrived, he met the keeper Liu Binjie.
Liu Binjie, who lost Xiao Hei, looked haggard. The first question he asked when he saw Qi Fei was: "Is there any news about Xiao Hei?"
Qi Fei was still hesitating, when he heard Zhong Kui say without blinking: "No." Then a sharp look was cast at him, probably meaning for him to shut up.
Liu Binjie muttered disappointedly: "If Xiao Hei is okay, it should have flown back by now..."
"No news is the best news," Zhong Kui said expressionlessly. This was about the most indifferent way of comforting people Qi Fei had ever seen.
"Then what are you here for this time?" Liu Binjie asked.
"Two people died and were injured in your Bird Pavilion. The reason is likely chlorine poisoning. We have to come and survey the scene again."
"Chlorine?" Liu Binjie looked confused. "How could there be chlorine here?"
"We also think it's strange. If the concentration of this chlorine has reached the level of killing people, you have so many birds here, and they are all fine. It's not reasonable," Qi Fei said while walking inside.
He had been to the Bird Pavilion so many times that he was almost adapted to the smell of bird droppings here.
These birds also seemed to recognize him. They were not afraid when they got close, flying and stopping on their own.
Regarding this statement of Qi Fei, Liu Binjie did not agree very much: "This... not necessarily. I am still relatively familiar with birds. Actually, don't look at their body size being much smaller than humans, but you say the damage of chlorine to them, it's really not necessarily as powerful as it is to humans. The respiratory system of birds is completely different from ours. The area occupied by the lungs in the body is much larger than ours.
In other words, if they inhale toxic gas, the speed of bird excretion is much faster."
"Hmm~~~~" Zhong Kui said slowly after listening. "Your meaning, the reason that birds are fine is not enough to show that this Bird Pavilion does not have chlorine?"
"This is also based on my understanding of birds. The survival ability of birds is very strong. Besides this very powerful respiratory system, their blood and liver detoxification ability is also many times higher than ours." Liu Binjie was very excited when talking about birds.
"It seems you really like this profession," Zhong Kui laughed.
Liu Binjie couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Yes, I like birds very much, especially Xiao Hei. For me, it is definitely not just an object to feed. If Xiao Hei has any shortcomings, I will be very sad."
The third-party testing agency brought by Qi Fei checked the Bird Pavilion, but there was no trace of excessive chlorine.
"Then, where exactly did these two people get chlorine poisoning?" Qi Fei felt that the investigation had encountered a bottleneck after hearing this result.
He was distressed when the cleaning aunties outside the Bird Pavilion quarreled again at an inappropriate time.
Zhong Kui heard this familiar quarrel, her eyes flowed, and she walked toward the door gracefully.
Sure enough, it was the same two people as last time.
Even the content of the quarrel was almost the same.
"You are not my leader, why do you stare at me every day? I know you are jealous that I contracted the Bird Pavilion. If you have the ability, you can mention it to the leader, and we will change!"
"Hmph! I don't care about your work. It's dirty and smelly! I just can't stand you being lazy."
"Make it clear, how am I lazy?"
"Don't think I don't know. You stole the cleaning agent issued by the unit and used cheap bleaching powder to wash the floor. I saw it in the utility room!"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting.
But there was suddenly a person in the middle.
Zhong Kui didn't know when she had already stood between the two of them.
She was facing the aunt who was accused of stealing the cleaning agent, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a smile: "What is your name?"
Zhong Kui's volume was not high, but there was an inexplicable pressure. The arrogant flame of the aunt disappeared inexplicably, and she said stutteringly: "Wang, Wang Jiefang..."
"Auntie Wang, right? I think you have to go and chat with the police with me." Zhong Kui pursed her lips and said.
When Wang Jiefang heard this, she argued righteously: "This young lady, don't listen to that person's nonsense. I never stole the unit's things. I admit, I used disinfectant, that's because the bird droppings on the ground are too difficult to clean, and disinfectant washes fast!"
Zhong Kui waited for her to finish speaking quietly, and said unhurriedly: "I believe you."
Wang Jiefang was stunned when she heard this: "Then, then thank you."
"However, I still have to take you to see the police." Zhong Kui's words made a 180-degree turn. ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
