Chapter 344: Encounter with a Noble Patron
Could it really be extreme nervousness?
At the scene, he didn't feel that way at all; maybe it was because he was the one facing difficulties.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
He walked up to the young nurse and said.
At that moment, he saw a name badge on the chest of the young nurse, bearing the name Liu Yao.
What made Lin Yi feel that Jing Ya was composed was that she turned out to be an intern.
"Come on, don't just stand around here, and what's more, some family members are agitated. If you show up now, who knows what they might do to you? Come on, go back to the office with me."
The girl was quite eager to help.
Perhaps she felt that Lin Yi was quite innocent as well. After being scolded for no reason by so many people just a moment ago, probably anyone would struggle to bear it all.
Before leaving, he gave Hei Lang a sign.
Hei Lang naturally stayed behind to continue monitoring the situation, while Lin Yi followed Liu Yao into her office.
To call it an office, though, it was more of a rest area they used on a regular basis.
The room was not large, about five or six square meters in size.
In the corner, there was a single bed and a simple wardrobe inside.
Near the door, there was an old desk with a computer that seemed to be from another era on it.
"Alright, take a seat over there."
Liu Yao pointed to a sofa next to her, and Lin Yi simply nodded in acknowledgment before finally plopping down on it.
"I really am sorry for causing you so much trouble, and if it weren't for your intervention today, who knows how these people would have treated me."
"Ah, I can understand their feelings, but after all, you are innocent. At first, when I saw you, I thought you were the one who sold the drugs to them, so my tone might not have been great. I'm sorry about that."
With that, they removed their mask.
A faint smile quickly spread across their face,
And two dimples appeared on their cheeks.
"Have you been here all evening?"
Lin Yi felt that he was actually quite lucky.
If he had just tried to probe that doctor, maybe they really wouldn't have revealed much to him.
But now, fortunately, he could probe this young nurse and perhaps even manage to uncover some things.
"Yes, I was supposed to have a night shift tonight, and it was supposed to be a light one. I even prepared these things."
As she spoke, she gestured towards the bed,
Lin Yi saw a tablet computer and a big bag of snacks there.
Probably, she planned to watch TV series while eating snacks, basically standing duty here.
"There's nothing I can do, I didn't want this to happen either.?"
"Since the first patient came in at 8:30, up to now, 37 people have been admitted, and among them, six people, due to some underlying diseases, are currently under observation in the ICU. The remaining 31 are gradually stabilizing, and by tomorrow night, they should be completely recovered."
"What exactly is happening this time?"
"According to some of the patients' blood work and biochemical reports, we can roughly deduce that there is some drug in that medication that has a stimulating effect on their organs, causing these effects."
"What? Some kind of drug?" Experience more tales on empire
"Yes, but as to what specific drug, the lab hasn't given a definitive answer yet. At the earliest, it would probably be in about two days from now."
"The drug formulation, I've already checked it before, there are absolutely no problems, and every single ingredient, on taking it out, causes minimal to no harm to the human body, even negligible damage."
"So how are you going to explain all this now? Come on, stop speaking on their behalf; I know you must have taken a lot of money."
What, does she really see him in such a light?
Did he really look that desperate for money?
So thinking of this, Lin Yi could only smile helplessly.
"I'm just doing something I ought to do, and uncovering the truth in time to announce to society is also a responsibility I should fulfill."
The words Lin Yi spoke were firm and resolute.
The nurse had been all smiles just a moment ago, but at his words, she suddenly froze.
"I've never asked who you really are. You aren't a journalist, are you?"
"Hehe, as for my identity, I believe you'll come to know it over time. For now, I just want to know the full extent of the situation. Is it really that serious?"
"Looking at it now, these remaining 31 people are still stabilizing; there shouldn't be any major problems."
"And what about the poison screening? No results yet? How can you be sure that all of them have taken the same drug?"
"We've already conducted clinical inquiries, so each person has taken the drug, and all of them took it around noon today, which is why such a large-scale poisoning incident occurred."
"What did each of them eat for dinner tonight? You've asked about that, haven't you?"
"Of course, I've asked. With so many people involved, their meals were miscellaneous, not related at all, so it's not directly connected to food."
After saying that, Lin Yi simply nodded.
By now, he could almost confirm that this incident was related to his Elixir.
But as to which link had the problem, he was still not entirely clear.
"Additionally, there's one more detail I noticed when I was conducting these questionnaire surveys."
"Oh, what detail?"
Saying that, Lin Yi suddenly became vigilant.
Because a minor detail could potentially change the entire complexion of the event.
"I had asked these people where they bought the drugs, and 17 of them said their point of purchase was the same place—the pharmacy here."
With those words, Liu Yao took out a card from her pocket, which clearly had the name of a pharmacy written on it.
