Episode 161 Biological weapons?

There were a total of fourteen officers including Lian Xiang Xiaoqiang who had breakfast at the "Da Ma Ji Spicy Soup". Seven of them had vomited, accounting for half of them. Although the others did not vomit, they still felt unwell. The group lay weakly in the car.

Later, he returned to the Xuzhou headquarters and immediately called in several military doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

After vomiting, Xiang Xiaoqiang now feels better, and there is no more churning feeling in his stomach. However, his intestines are still uncomfortable, with a dull pain from time to time, and a feeling that he wants to have diarrhea but can't.

He was lying on the bed sickly. Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu were both sitting by the bed, looking at him with concern. The doctor had drawn his blood and was conducting tests. The doctor also gave him a small bottle and a few cotton swabs.

Tell me that if you want to have a bowel movement later, don’t forget to pick a little bit with a cotton swab and put it in a bottle to bring back for testing...

Xiang Xiaoqiang half-closed his eyes and hummed weakly:

"I...I am unlucky...how are you? Did you vomit?"

Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu looked at each other and shook their heads. Qiu Qiu said:

"I also feel like vomiting...but I haven't vomited it out yet. So does Xiu Xiu."

Xiuxiu said:

"Sir, I think the problem lies in that soup. I asked the military doctor to ask questions. Among the fourteen people, your Excellency and the other six officers drank the most. They all drank a big bowl. Qiu Qiu and I

We drank the least, just a few sips, and then Mr. Zhao helped us change

It has become porridge. The porridge should not be poisonous. Mr. Li Gensheng, Mr. Zhao Cunnian, and the other two officers are all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They cannot eat spicy food. Each of them only drank a few symbolic sips, so the poisoning is relatively mild. At present, except for

Gastrointestinal discomfort, no other symptoms.”

Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said slowly:

"Hmm... I think it's not man-made poisoning... it's more reliable that it's food poisoning. If he deliberately wanted to poison us, then the toxicity of the soup wouldn't be so weak, or the dose wouldn't be so small. Drink a whole bowl.

I just vomited, drank half a bowl or even

It's all fine...and it's not just the spicy soup that's poisoned, but the porridge that's not poisoned. Also, it's true that there are many people in Xuzhou who want me dead, but the place where I have breakfast is random.

How did the other party know that we were going to patronize that store?"

Qiu Qiu was startled and immediately said:

"Xiaoqiang, have you forgotten? Didn't we do this in Batavia? The Dutch envoy also thought like you at the time. Otherwise, how could Sumatra belong to the Ming Dynasty now?"

Xiuxiu also fully understood the trap that Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Qiu had set up in Nanyang. Now, she and Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at each other, both lost in thought for a while.

"Unless..." Xiang Xiaoqiang muttered to himself, "Unless... the high-end restaurant street we went to for the first time, it's a lie that they don't serve breakfast, it was arranged by someone... Then, the nearby streets

Street, they have also made arrangements for any small restaurants that we might go to..."

He shook his head as he spoke:

"No, this is impossible. We were able to pull off this kind of scam in Batavia because Batavia was already in our hands at the time. In order to set up this trap, we were able to close down several streets of restaurants.

Thousands of people can be mobilized. Even if the lurking Peking secret agents here think about it, they can't show it. How capable they are to close down the restaurants on the entire street and then do it in the restaurants in the nearby streets.

arrange?"

Xiuxiu also nodded slowly and said:

"I also think what you said makes sense. Besides, even your plan to have breakfast in the city was an impromptu idea after getting off the train. Even Qiu Qiu and I didn't know about it in advance, so how did the Beiqing agents know? They were going to get off the train.

If I want to poison you, I should poison you in the restaurant of the headquarters."

At this moment, the chief military doctor of the headquarters knocked on the door and came in and said:

"Sir, the test results are out."

Several people looked up at him and asked Xiaoqiang lying down:

"Please take a seat...how about it?"

The military doctor sat down and said with a smile:

"I wonder if the adults are feeling better? Oh...the blood test results of several adults were all good, and no obvious toxins were found...Several food samples in that store were also sampled and tested, and there were varying degrees of bacterial contamination. Especially

That soup is the most serious, hemorrhagic Escherichia...that is, Escherichia coli, which exceeds the standard by more than a hundred times."

"In other words... this is not artificial poisoning, but food poisoning?"

The military doctor smiled and said:

"My personal opinion is also food poisoning... But if we want to be strict, we can only say that the characteristics of food poisoning are more obvious. Because it is bacteria that cause disease, not toxins. Moreover, E. coli is also the most common cause of food poisoning.

A type of bacteria... Oh, this is just me... and the opinions shared by several other doctors are only technical in nature and are not intended to characterize this incident. Adults can use our opinions as a reference, and it does not prevent adults from

Intelligence investigations.”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at him, smiled, thanked him for his hard work, and then asked him to go out.

Qiu Qiu said angrily:

"Even if the bacteria are not toxins, there is no guarantee that someone is not trying to harm you. It is too obvious to use poison directly. If they want to use poison to kill you, then they are afraid that we will investigate Xuzhou. If it is disguised as ordinary food

If we are poisoned, we can only admit that we are unlucky and there is no place to even check."

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly:

"Then why is the dose so small? It seems like it was just a joke and it didn't mean to kill me."

Qiu Qiu made a "cut" sound and said:

"This involves the difference between chemical weapons and bacterial weapons. We have all learned it, and Xiu Xiu must also know it. When using bacteria, there is no 'dose' to talk about. The size of the dose depends entirely on the reproduction of the bacteria. The breeding conditions are suitable.

, it can poison ten people in one day. If the conditions are not suitable, even one person cannot be poisoned. Maybe the breeding conditions in the soup pot in that shop are not so..."

Xiuxiu glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang and whispered:

"Qiu Qiu..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang also sighed, shook his head and smiled:

"When someone finally had a chance to kill me, they would not give up the reliable 'chemical weapons' and instead use some 'biological weapons' instead. Let me tell you, this kind of thing is nothing. We are pampered in the south.

, when you first come to the north, you must have an adaptation process. People are local

People have been accustomed to eating since they were young, and their intestines and stomach have been trained to be like scavengers... We have never practiced, so we can't compare with others. Alas, when I was in the north, I can't say that I am immune to all poisons, at least I have a few skewers of dead rat meat.

, half a tael of denatured alcohol still can’t put me down. I didn’t expect that just over a year after I came to Daming, my mother has completely deteriorated.”

Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu looked at each other, as if they were hearing a fantasy.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at them, smiled and waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, don't listen to my nonsense... This matter still needs to be investigated. Now, just wait for the results of the interrogation of the breakfast shop owner. Xiuxiu, keep an eye on this matter. If

If it is true that the poisoning was done artificially, there is only one possibility - the person who poisoned it is among these dozen soldiers.

Official. Only in this way can you have enough motivation to pretend to be food poisoning. Xiu Xiu, while the Intelligence Department of the headquarters is investigating the breakfast shop, you have to secretly keep an eye on these fourteen people. No, not fourteen, it's out of the blue.

Except for me, you, Qiu Qiu, and Li Gensheng, there are ten other people."

He said so, both Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu were in awe.

Xiuxiu hesitated and asked softly:

"Sir...including...Sir Zhao?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang also hesitated and muttered:

"Well...he...should not have much of a problem. He is already the chief of staff of the mobile team. Logically speaking, the possibility of becoming a spy is unlikely...but you should keep an eye on him, just in case."

Xiuxiu nodded and said:

"I see."

…

He said that Cao Cao had arrived. At this moment, Zhao Cunnian knocked on the door and came in.

"Sir..." he hesitantly said with a sad face, "that...that early shop owner, he..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at him and felt an ominous premonition:

"What's wrong with him?"
