Chapter 857: The Mysterious Source of Poison
Now, the enthusiastic neighbor felt that there might be a natural gas leak, so he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly called the fire brigade and emergency center.
Why call the fire brigade? Because every household has heavy anti-theft doors, if the fire brigade is not responsible for breaking the doors, the emergency personnel from the emergency center will not be able to enter, and precious time will be wasted in vain.
The fire brigade and emergency center acted quickly after receiving the alarm, and immediately dispatched fire trucks and ambulances, and it didn't take long for them to drive into the community with their sirens in tandem.
The neighbors stopped buying breakfast, and waited at the door of Wang Carpenter's house, sending his family downstairs to have breakfast.
Firefighters and first responders came upstairs with tools, and neighbors gave a brief account of the situation.
Upon hearing this, the firefighters immediately arranged to evacuate the upstairs and downstairs neighbors in order to avoid more serious consequences caused by the natural gas explosion, and at the same time carefully removed the door lock with tools.
The heavy anti-theft door was opened, but strangely, the firefighters did not smell natural gas. Natural gas itself is colorless and odorless, but in order for people to detect natural gas leaks earlier, the natural gas company will mix the natural gas with a foul smell gas.
The firefighters did not smell the stench, and the natural gas alarm they carried did not go off.
Wang Carpenter's family fell to the ground with puddles of vomit on the floor. Wang Carpenter was in the most serious condition, foaming at the mouth and unconscious. His family members were still conscious, but they were weak and unable to move.
At this time, the firefighters judged that it was not a natural gas leak, but food poisoning.
Since the emergency personnel were also sent downstairs to wait by the firefighters, the firefighters ran into the house one after another, carried Wang Carpenter's family downstairs one after another, and helped the emergency personnel send them into the ambulance.
However, the matter did not end there. The firefighters also developed symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, and they were taken into the ambulance together with Wang Carpenter's family.
Before the ambulance had time to drive away, the emergency center received a second call to the police. The caller also came from this community and a different unit of the same building. It was Welder Zhao’s family members who called the police, claiming that Welder Zhao had chest tightness, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Unable to stand, may have had a heart attack.
The emergency personnel were vigilant and felt that the situation was serious, so they rushed to Welder Zhao's house after taking protective measures.
At this time, Welder Zhao's consciousness was blurred and his body was weak. His family members were in a hurry, but the emergency personnel not only carried Welder Zhao downstairs, but also asked his family members to go downstairs to undergo a physical examination.
His family didn't understand the situation, and almost quarreled with the emergency personnel. After the emergency personnel persuaded them, they reluctantly followed him downstairs to undergo a physical examination. The results of the examination were all normal.
The symptoms of Zhao Welder are very similar to those of Wang Carpenter's family, and the degree is between that of Wang Carpenter's family and the firefighters.
After the fire brigade and the emergency center got the news, they judged that this was not a simple food poisoning incident, but that it might be suspected of large-scale poisoning, or even a more serious incident.
As a result, the fire brigade and the emergency center called the police.
After the police got the news, they rushed over to block the scene with great urgency, and the organized situation further expanded.
According to the feedback from the emergency center, it is confirmed that Zhao Welder, Wang Carpenter's family, and the firefighters are poisoned by the same poison, which is extremely toxic. However, the specific poison still needs to wait for the test results. Definitely an uncommon toxin.
I also want to know that the firefighters showed symptoms of poisoning after staying in Wang Carpenter's house for just a few minutes. How strong is this toxicity?
The police urgently dispatched a biochemical special police team to go all out to find the source of the poison and toxins.
Speaking of this, Shengke asked the police for a SLR camera and let Zhang Zian look at the LCD screen.
Sheng Ke switched photos one by one. These photos were all taken by the biochemical special police team, and the shooting location was Wang Carpenter's home.
Zhang Zian saw that Wang Carpenter's house was very messy, miscellaneous things were piled up everywhere, and there was almost no place to stay.
The elderly are often reluctant to throw away useless old objects, and the result is that there are more and more things at home.
Sheng Ke sighed: "This room is too messy, we don't even know what the source of the poison is, so we can only search blindly, almost like looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Because it is a densely populated area, and the toxicity of the unknown toxin is extremely strong, the special police team dare not even open the windows for ventilation, for fear of affecting the nearby people.
"wait!"
Zhang Zian suddenly called Sheng Ke, "Captain Sheng, step back two sheets."
Sheng Ke didn't know what he found, so he did as he said.
Director Chen stood on the other side of Shengke, staring intently at the LCD screen of the SLR camera.
Zhang Zian saw that this photo was taken of a corner of the fish tank. The water in the fish tank was still relatively clear, but the few small fish all floated on the water and turned their stomachs, and had been dead for a long time.
"What's wrong? Xiao Zhang, what did you see?" Director Chen asked eagerly.
Zhang Zian wondered, did the toxin come from the fish tank?
But he can't be sure, because the toxin is so strong that even a few breaths will cause poisoning. If it dissolves into the water, it is normal for the poison to kill the fish in the tank, and it does not prove that the source of the poison is the fish tank.
"Director Chen, Captain Sheng, I wonder if Welder Zhao can speak now? If possible, I would like to ask Welder Zhao a few questions. Of course, it would be better if Carpenter Wang can answer, but Carpenter Wang is still awake, right?" he asked.
Sheng Ke immediately used the walkie-talkie to get in touch with the police stationed in the emergency center.
"Welder Zhao is out of danger and can talk." Sheng Ke reported and asked Director Chen for instructions with his eyes.
Director Chen nodded slightly.
Sheng Ke handed the walkie-talkie to Zhang Zian.
"Hello? Is it Master Zhao? I'm Zhang Zian from Qiyuan Aquarium. I'm assisting the police in finding the source of the poison that poisoned you. Please tell me about what you did at Wang Carpenter's house last night."
The situation was urgent, so Zhang Zian saved his politeness and explained his identity and the purpose of the call clearly in a few words.
Welder Zhao's hoarse voice came from the walkie-talkie, appearing to be depressed, quite different from his usual loud and energetic voice.
"Well...we didn't do anything...Wang Carpenter turned over the tank, got the fish and shrimp out of the tank, poured out the water in the tank, and planned to reopen the tank. I watched from the side, who knows why it is so unlucky ..."
What Zhang Zian was waiting for was this sentence, he had to confirm that Wang Carpenter and Zhao Welder were really overturning the vat.
Turning over the tank means restarting the ecosystem in the fish tank and cleaning the fish tank.
Some tank dwellers may not be too happy.
