Chapter 257 Confrontation(1/2)
Author: Tutu Shi
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 Seoul Sansang Hospital is positioned at the same level as it, 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 daily loss of nearly 30 million yuan!
But now, it is useless for Gu Ji to stay in the hospital.
As long as Lee Min-bok is here, he can't direct 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 kind? 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 he had 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 just 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, 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 are equipment such as [Poison Needle Trap] mines and [ERC Information Jammer] placed inside. In addition, there are some official documents and information.
Thinking of the "Wushan Base Laboratory Explosion", Gu Ji took out the files and browsed.
It turns out that it was just a month ago, in April.
It was revealed that the Edgewood Biochemical Center in the United States had a leakage accident 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 2019 and 2020, 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 all 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.
Taking into account the various bacterial weapons in the laboratory, the anthrax virus may leak, threatening the safety of civilians in Pyeongtaek and Seoul, so the superiors assigned "Kim Ji-joo", 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 felt like laughing 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.
Very few researchers escaped alive from the scene. The only witness was seriously injured by the bombing. He is still hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Sansang Hospital and is protected by the police. "Kim Ji-jiu" appeared in the emergency room on Saturday and was also
It was just 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 transferred the people from the Wushan base to
The case was handed over to him for investigation.
With this level of professional support.
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!
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 it seemed that in order to suppress him, he deliberately pretended not to see it and kept his head down, browsing the newspaper in his hand.
"Prosecutor Sun."
"You also know that I am 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 to get into trouble with the deputy director of the hospital. All the complaint calls came to me!"
"I don't think I have any problems. 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 incident is true, it will definitely become the most serious public health disaster in South Korea this year.
If the 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 a 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, so 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 make 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.
To be continued...
