"Kidney stones, ureteral stones, it's just a coincidence. The real problem is that the patient's physical condition has deteriorated drastically in the past few days. " Zheng Ren gave a simple explanation and pulled the topic back. "Has she eaten anything strange recently? Has there been any bleeding gums or frequent periods? "
One of the girls said, "Doctor, we were resting in the office a few days ago and eating an apple. I saw that her gums were bleeding. The apple is covered in blood, it looks really scary. "
His gums were bleeding. This was a hint.
"A day ago?"
"No, I remember it's been about a week."
Zheng Ren was stunned.
A week?
Judging by the speed of the disease's progression, one day was more than enough.
The patient did not even notice the bruise on her chest, which meant that the subcutaneous bleeding had appeared at work this morning.
It would take at most 12 hours for the bleeding of the gums to progress to the subcutaneous ecchymosis. However, the patient's colleague actually said that it had happened a week ago. This was simply too strange.
Zheng Ren could not understand, but he secretly noted this point down.
"Time is very important. Please think about it again," Zheng Ren said seriously.
"It's indeed about a week. Last week … It happened eight days ago. I brought apples, one for each department. As we ate, Xiaohui's apple was covered in blood. It was really scary to look at it, "the female colleague said with certainty.
Not only did the time not come closer, but it was also extended by a day.
It could also be an ordinary bleeding of the gums that had nothing to do with this incident. Zheng Ren gave a 'reasonable' explanation.
"Do you usually eat the same things?" Zheng Ren asked.
"It's about the same. We eat at the cafeteria at noon and work overtime most of the time at night," the team leader said. "It's already late at night when we get home. If we're hungry, we can buy some food on the way. We don't know what she can eat."
"What does she usually like to eat?" Zheng Ren continued to ask.
"Likes … Xiao Hui likes to eat barbecue," another girl said. "I remember she said that barbecue is the most convenient. She can eat while walking and it doesn't take up any time at all. After returning home, she's as tired as a dog. She's too lazy to wash up. She just wants to lie down on the bed and sleep like that. "
It was not easy, Zheng Ren thought to himself.
This state was the same as the state of his rented house in Sea City.
"Which barbecue stall?"
"Doctor, the urban management has been very strict recently. We buy from every shop we meet. There are no fixed stalls."
As the girls talked, they stole glances at Su Yun.
If the patient's condition was not urgent and the doctors' expressions were very serious, as if they were about to scold someone, they would have surrounded them and asked for their phones.
"Barbecue … Boss, do you think there will be a problem with barbecued meat?" Su Yun pondered.
"A mobile barbecue stall. I think there might be problems," Zheng Ren said.
"How would I dare to eat at a normal barbecue stall?" Su Yun said, "I don't even know what kind of meat it is. Usually, when we were drinking, I would drag Zhao Yunlong to eat roasted lamb leg. At the very least, it looks like a leg of lamb. It's impossible to fake it with other meat. "
Zheng Ren asked a few more questions. This group of colleagues did not know much about Chen Zehui's situation. This was a typical colleague relationship in modern society. They didn't know much about each other's private lives.
Chen Zehui did not have a boyfriend and usually lived alone in her rented apartment.
Work was work. When she got off work, it was already past midnight. No one knew what she had experienced.
This time, Zheng Ren had entered a dead end.
"In the past two days, since the day the patient asked for leave due to kidney stones, have there been any special circumstances?" Zheng Ren was a little anxious.
"No," the team leader thought for a moment and said with certainty at this time.
Zheng Ren looked straight into his eyes, wanting to see if there was anything strange in them.
"There's a big project in the team these two weeks. We're all working overtime," the team leader said. "Two days ago, Xiaohui said that she was not feeling well. At that time, I thought she wanted to slack off. I didn't expect her to be so sick … "
As he said that, he tried to choke twice.
However, Zheng Ren's magnanimous gaze exposed all the lies. There was no time. Zheng Ren did not have any extra time to act here with them.
Even if someone was unhappy, Lin Ge would arrive immediately and throw it all to the medical administration division to deal with. Chief Lin had said it himself to protect the clinical practice.
"I asked, did the patient come into contact with anything alone in the past two days?" Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.
"I don't think so." The team leader was sweating. He thought that if an employee in his team died during overtime, this matter would not make the headlines, right?
At the thought of being on the hot search list … It was over.
If the boss refused to take responsibility or suffered a setback, the entire project team would probably be disbanded. And everyone in the project team would be fired one by one.
"Probably?" Zheng Ren asked almost word by word, interrupting the team leader's wild thoughts.
"Yes, at the unit. We work overtime together. I was the one who ordered the takeout." The team leader was a little flustered.
"How many meals did you eat at the unit?" Zheng Ren asked mercilessly.
"I haven't been home for the past two days. There's a project and I've been busy all day. 996. That's just a dream, "the team leader said helplessly. "We've been eating the same thing for the past two days. There can't be a problem."
Zheng Ren glanced at his colleagues around him. They all had dark circles under their eyes, and their listless looks gave off the illusion that they were exhausted and had collapsed to the ground.
"Boss Zheng, I'm here." Lin Ge's voice came from the door.
"Chief Lin, these are the patient's colleagues." Zheng Ren stood up, thinking about countless things in his mind.
"Little Sun, you handle this side. Ask for the contact information of the patient's immediate family and then keep the phone connected so that we can contact them at any time, "Lin Ge immediately arranged.
A staff member nodded repeatedly and began to handle the chores.
Unable to find any clues, Zheng Ren could only return to the ICU to check on the situation. Su Yun and Lin Ge followed by the side. The three of them quickly changed their clothes.
When they finished changing, Su Yun paused for a moment.
"There's nothing to eat for the past two days …" Su Yun was interrupted by Zheng Ren halfway through his sentence.
"I suspect it's some kind of progressive drug, such as rat poison," Zheng Ren said in a deep voice, completely forgetting Lin Ge's existence.
"Yes! I suspect so too. " Su Yun was a little hesitant at first. When he heard that Zheng Ren also thought so, he immediately slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"I suspect it's rat meat," Zheng Ren continued. "I suggest that we first treat it as rat poison poisoning."
"I know the owner of a barbecue stall. He said that pork, beef, and mutton are getting more and more expensive. Usually, he doesn't make money selling barbecue at all," Su Yun said. "He can only survive by using other meat as a substitute."
"You also eat at this kind of stall?" Zheng Ren was a little strange.
"I got familiar with the boss. He didn't want to do this kind of thing, so the barbecue stall soon closed down." Su Yun shrugged and said helplessly, "In society, most of the time, it's a process of reverse elimination."
"Bad money wins in the end …"
"Something like that," Su Yun said. "Don't interrupt me. You always talk about such a heavy topic. When I discuss the illness with you, you talk to me about literature and art. When I talk to you about literature and art, you start to discuss the illness again. "
"…"
"Tell me, aren't you acting like a hooligan?" Su Yun said.
