Chapter 257 Confrontation

Chapter 257 Confrontation

Gu Ji knew very well what Li Minfu had in mind.

As the top large general hospital in South Korea, Seoul Sansang Hospital’s daily money flow and income are very high. Taking Haguo Gyeongju Union Hospital as an example, the annual income is close to 10 billion. This profit level has exceeded many large listed companies. It can be seen that the medical industry is Ability to attract money.

As for Seoul Sansang Hospital, which is positioned at the same level, its income should not be much different.

Therefore, once the emergency room is closed and the news that "there are patients infected with MERS in the hospital" spreads, it will scare away many patients who come to see the doctor. After all, there are so many hospitals in Seoul, and no one wants to see a doctor, and the fatality rate of infection will be as high as 38% of virulent viruses.

As a result, the revenue of Seoul Sansang Hospital will be severely reduced, with an average loss of nearly 30 million yuan per day!

But now, it was useless for Gu Ji to stay in the hospital.

As long as Li Minfu is here, he can't command the medical staff in the hospital, so he might as well find other ways.

"Since you are not afraid of death, then let the patients continue to flow. But I want to remind you, Vice President Li, MERS has a fatality rate of up to 60% for older patients or patients with underlying diseases. I hope you can live longer. sky!"

"You, you...Axiba, are you cursing me! Are the prosecutors of the Republic of Korea of ​​this caliber? If you have the guts, don't leave!"

The last words Gu Ji said made Li Minfu so angry that his angry roar could be heard even in the corridor.

But Gu Ji had already left the emergency room.

Just when he was about to buy some medical protective equipment and disinfection tools, the phone rang again. It was an investigator named Zhang Shiyun, who should be one of his subordinates.

"Senior, Chief Prosecutor Sun asked me to take you back to the prefectural prosecutor's office right away. He said that I have important matters to see you. I have already arrived near Shansang Hospital. Where are you now?"

"The door."

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.

The power of Sansang Hospital, no, to be precise, the Sansang Chaebol was far greater than he imagined. With just one phone call, a chief prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors' Office could be mobilized to put pressure on him.

This was quite uncomfortable for Gu Ji, who was used to "just go straight and do it".

Not long after I hung up the phone, a black car parked in front of the public parking lot outside the emergency room. A tall and thin young man with single eyelids, also wearing a black suit, stepped out of the cab. He looked very much like the idol in the Korean drama. The same as the little fresh meat.

"Senior, please come in."

Zhang Shiyun laughed along with him, quickly ran to the back seat, and opened the door for Gu Ji.

Ironically, even the car he was riding in was made by Sansang. It was the SM5 jointly produced by Sansang and Renault.

"You stay away from me."

"ah?"

Zhang Shiyun was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Ji had been reprimanded by the chief prosecutor, and felt angry in his stomach.

In fact, Gu Ji was simply afraid of carrying the MERS virus on his body and infecting others.

It is more convenient to have a private car.

Otherwise, if he takes public transportation, it will be more likely to accelerate the spread of the virus.

After getting in the car, Gu Ji sat in the back seat, opened all the windows for ventilation, and asked Zhang Shiyun to go to a nearby pharmacy to purchase some protective clothing, masks, gloves and disinfectant alcohol.

While waiting on the road, he opened his briefcase.

As expected, there were [Poison Needle Trap] mines, [ERC Information Jammer] and other equipment placed inside. In addition, there were some official documents and information.

Thinking of "the explosion of Wushan base laboratory", Gu Ji took out the files and browsed.

It turns out that it was just a month ago, in April.

The Edgewood Biochemical Center in the United States was exposed: a leak occurred while transporting activated anthrax samples to Osan Air Force Base in South Korea.

Gu Ji also has some impressions of this matter. It seems that there was a big commotion in South Korea in 19 and 20, and the US military was finally forced to admit and apologize.

Of course, at this time in 2015, it was only slowly fermenting in the United States and had not been introduced to South Korea.

According to the prosecutor's internal intelligence system, the US military in South Korea has secretly set up biological and chemical weapons laboratories in South Korea. These biochemical laboratories are located in the US military bases in South Korea. There are 4 locations in Seoul, Yongsan, Gunsan, Busan and Pyeongtaek in Osan. So far, these four laboratories have conducted at least 15 weapons-grade anthrax tests.

Anyone who has studied public health or knows some history of biological and chemical warfare.

We all know what "weapons-grade anthrax" means.

Not long after this incident occurred, an explosion occurred in the laboratory located in the Wushan base. Currently, the military has implemented a control blockade around the laboratory.

Considering that various bacterial weapons and anthrax viruses in the laboratory may leak, threatening the safety of civilians in Pyeongtaek and Seoul, the superiors assigned "Kim Ji-jiu", who was possessed by Gu Ji this time, to investigate the case.

"At this time, I think about civilian safety. When it comes to the MERS virus, it has a different face. It is really a famous double standard..."

Gu Ji even wanted to laugh in his heart.

Of course he knows that the Seoul Central Prosecution System is working so hard to investigate the Osan base laboratory explosion, and it must not only be for the sake of civilians. The deeper consideration may be to control the news and avoid causing panic, or... to catch some military personnel, especially those from the military. The handle of the US military.

The water here is very deep.

The report described that the explosion at the institute occurred suddenly, and the U.S. military claimed that it was a personnel error. However, prosecutors, through intelligence analysis, suspected that it was an attack.

There were very few researchers who escaped alive from the scene. The only witness was seriously injured by the explosion. He is still hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Sansang Hospital and is protected by the police. "Jin Zhijiu" appeared in the emergency room on Saturday and was also It was to visit the witnesses’ injuries.

And as he kept browsing.

Gu Ji suddenly discovered a piece of identity information that was very beneficial to him. "Jin Zhijiu" majored in microbiology at the university. After passing the judicial examination and becoming a prosecutor, he has been engaged in virus attack cases, so his superiors took the case of Wushan Base. The case was handed over to him for investigation.

With this layer of professional blessing.

Then Gu Ji won't have to lie like other levels. No matter what kind of knowledge and operations he shows, everyone will think it is reasonable.

Half an hour later, the vehicle drove into a dark gray modern building.

It’s the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Building!

There are at least three to four hundred criminal cases handled here every day, so that in front of the towering gate steps, there are many secretaries and investigators in suits and ties with white IDs running up and down.

Gu Ji first sprayed disinfectant alcohol in the car, then got out of the car and followed Zhang Shiyun, taking the elevator all the way to the end of the corridor of the Public Security Department.

Push open the double doors of the office.

The first thing that caught his eye was a middle-aged man sitting behind a luxurious black walnut desk. He had short gray-white hair, wrinkled skin, and protruding eyeballs, like dead fish eyes. He was not easy to mess with at first glance.

It is also printed on the nameplate of the desk.

Chief Prosecutor of the Public Security Section: Sun Jae-suk.

Sun Zaixi raised his eyelids slightly, obviously seeing Gu Ji, but he seemed to deliberately pretend not to see it in order to suppress him. He still lowered his head and browsed the newspaper in his hand.

"Prosecutor Sun."

"You still know I'm your boss!"

Sun Zaixi slapped the newspaper on the table with a "pop", "I asked you to see the witnesses of the explosion at the institute. It's better for you. You got into trouble with the deputy director of the hospital. All the complaint calls came to me!"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with me. The severity of the suspicious patients in the emergency room is no less serious than the Osan base case."

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji didn't even blink, and was not shocked by Sun Zaixi at all. Instead, he told all the information about MERS.

Although he is a prosecutor, he only has two or three people under his command.

Therefore, if we can use the power of the Central District Procuratorate to put pressure on Shansang Hospital and the CDC, things will be much easier to handle.

Sun Jae-seok can sit in the position of chief prosecutor of the Public Security Bureau, so he is certainly not a fool.

Gu Ji's report is reasonable and well-founded.

Once this thing is true, it will definitely become the most serious public health disaster in South Korea this year.

If their Public Security Bureau can play an important role in this incident, it will be a great help to his reputation, political achievements and personal authority.

but.

Gu Ji has no test results!

Without the laboratory report, there is no way to make a final conclusion, not to mention that this matter also involves Shansang, a giant chaebol group.

Sun Zaixi squinted his eyes, crossed his hands and thought for a few seconds before speaking:

"I can allow you to investigate privately, but you also know that the entire Public Security Bureau is currently busy with the Wushan Base case. I have no one to lend you, you can only rely on yourself."

What a fucking old fox.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

Sun Jae-suk obviously wanted him to be used as cannon fodder. If the matter was true, then he would have made it public on the spot, showing that he ordered him to investigate, and then take the credit for himself;

If it is false, then you can pretend not to admit it and shirk the responsibility completely. In this way, the Sansang Zaibatsu will only vent its anger on him, the prosecutor.

However, for Gu Ji.

As long as Sun Jae-seok doesn't stop him, that's enough.

Anyway, this level is a classic heart mode, there is no time limit, and he has plenty of opportunities.

So, I waited out of the office.

Gu Ji took out his phone again, dialed the number of the Seoul Central CDC, and asked for Jiang Chengxun by name, the CDC researcher who was just in the hospital.

"You and I both understand the seriousness of this matter. I have the consent of the prosecutor general. As long as your virus identification report comes out, I can immediately persuade the prosecutor to intervene in the investigation."

"Prosecutor Jin, please rest assured that I will do my best to speed up the process. Maybe the results will be available before tonight."

On the phone, Jiang Chengxun's tone was very certain.

It can be seen that he is also a doctor with a sense of justice at heart, but he is a little weak in the face of power.

"Finally, I would like to ask you to do a favor and contact the person in charge of the airport CDC."

That's right, Gu Ji is still ready to start from the source.

At present, MERS has not spread on a large scale. If the source can be found in time and all infected people are isolated as soon as the identification report comes out, the spread of the infection can be effectively curbed.

Back in the office, there is a cubicle of about 50 square meters.

A hot female secretary wearing gray business attire, gold-rimmed glasses, and black silk high heels came over with coffee and documents, "Prosecutor Jin, here are the documents you want. "

Before coming, he had already viewed the files of all his members on his mobile phone.

Bae Nam-joo, Kim Ji-joo’s office secretary, is a journalist.

Pei Nanzhu leaned forward slightly and placed the coffee on Gu Ji's table, her professional butt-covering skirt raised in a perfect arc.

"Nanzhu, do you know any friends who work in the news media?"

Before she could turn around and leave, Gu Ji called to stop her.

"Ah? Of course I know you, Prosecutor Jin. Many of my friends and alumni work in media companies. Are you going to..."

"Help me find some media outlets that have competition or enmity with Shan Sang."

"Okay, okay."

Pei Nanzhu was slightly taken aback and didn't understand what Gu Ji wanted to do, but he still agreed.

That's right.

Gu Ji's idea is very simple.

It's still the same operation as the Indian flood level, using public opinion to exert pressure, but this time, his target is changed from the government to Sangsang.

He doesn't believe it anymore. As long as the MERS identification results are released, they will be publicized through the media.

Can Shan Sang still cover it up by force?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Nanzhu recommended to her a female reporter named Lin Renna, who was her senior sister when she was in school. Because her father and several workers died due to a leak of chlorine tanks while working at Shansang Chemical Factory, Shansang Factory regarded employees as On the grounds of serious operational errors, instead of paying compensation, she was sued to compensate for the loss of the factory.

The lawsuit between the two parties has dragged on for seven or eight years, and it still has not been sorted out.

So Lin Renna has been reporting Shan Sang's dirty information for so many years, trying to bring down this elephant.

"Just this one?"

"I'm sorry, Prosecutor Jin, she is the only one who dares to talk to San Sang..."

"I see."

Before Pei Nanzhu could finish speaking, Gu Ji left the office with his briefcase and car keys.

He made an appointment with Lin Renna over the phone to meet in the evening. As soon as Jiang Chengxun's report came out, he could change hands and expose Lin Renna.

In the evening, inside a cafe in downtown Seoul.

Gu Ji was sitting by the window, waiting for news from Jiang Chengxun.

"Cough cough cough..."

At this time, a violent cough suddenly came from behind.

Like a snake, he quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged woman covering her mouth with paper. Not far from the woman, there was a male college student wearing a T-shirt with a bitter look on his face, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Although Gu Ji knew that MERS could not spread so fast.

But these fragmented details still made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

The public health level is different from other levels.

Natural disasters, accidents, and social security are all visible and tangible things.

Only public health.

It was like a pair of invisible hands from hell, clinging tightly to the crowd, squeezing the lives of civilians bit by bit.

You never know who is going to die and when.

This unknown is the most terrifying thing.

At this moment, Gu Ji suddenly smelled a nice smell of perfume. A short-haired beauty wearing a light pink gauze skirt, a white scarf, and a mask walked straight up to him and said, "Hello, are you Jin Zhijiu?" Prosecutor?"

"I am."

"Hello, I am Lin Renna."

Lin Renna reached out her hand enthusiastically. It was obvious that he had great expectations for this meeting. After all, if she could cooperate with the prosecutor, she would have a greater chance of dealing with Shan Sang.

"A handshake is not necessary."

Gu Ji declined directly.

Only then did Lin Renna react, because when they contacted her in the afternoon, Gu Ji had already explained the general situation to him and reminded her to wear a mask, so that when she came by bus, everyone around her used strange masks. Look at her.

"Prosecutor Kim, is the report out?"

"Not yet, I'll call him again."

With that said, Gu Ji took out his cell phone and as soon as he dialed Jiang Chengxun's number, a "power off" message came from the receiver. So he contacted CDC officials and wanted to ask if Jiang Chengxun was still doing tests at the testing center.

But the news is...

Jiang Chengxun took leave and went home!
