Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 510 Body Examination

Exiting the elevator is a temporary passageway paved with wooden planks.

Several people turned three or four corners and finally saw a body lying on a steel support.

The body was curled up, as if convulsing.

There were three workers wearing yellow safety helmets watching from a few meters away around the body, but they did not dare to get close.

Lu Chuan put on three layers of white gloves and squatted in front of the body: "Have any workers touched the body?"

The person in charge who came up looked at the three workers: "Have any of you touched the corpse?"

One of the workers, who was about 40 years old, took a step forward. His eyes were a little evasive and his voice was trembling: "Alive...when we were alive, I...I, I...we met...deadly...after death...doctor Came...to see...we...never touched..."

Lu Chuan raised his head and looked at the other person: "Do you know the deceased?"

The man nodded: "We are... the same team... we are all steel workers... we have worked... at this... construction site... for more than a year, and we all... know each other."

Lu Chuan nodded. Based on the information obtained so far, the cause of death seemed to be food poisoning, but general food poisoning can cause vomiting, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms.

However, it usually does not cause serious fatality, or the time to death is not that fast.

There are many possibilities for food poisoning, which can usually be divided into three categories. One is food poisoning caused by pesticide residues on food, the other is poisoning caused by eating poisonous animals and plants, and the other is food poisoning caused by mold. food, poisoning caused by mold.

"Did you have breakfast together this morning?"

The man shook his head: "No, he had breakfast in the canteen at the construction site. We had breakfast at home."

Have breakfast in the cafeteria?
Lu Chuan looked at the person in charge: "All those who had poisoning reactions ate in the canteen at the construction site?"

"I'm not sure yet, but the two who died ate in the cafeteria."

He was a little lucky. He usually had breakfast at the construction site. Yesterday he drank too much with a client and stayed in a hotel. This morning he had breakfast at the hotel.

Otherwise, he might be one of the people lying on the ground now.

Lu Chuan roughly understood the situation and began to examine the body.

"The corpse was highly curled up, the muscles were twitching and tense, the esophagus... was blocked, the face was cyanotic... and he died of suffocation."

Liu Guodong was on Lu Chuan's side and was also checking: "It looks like vomiting caused by an epileptic seizure caused suffocation and death caused by food blocking the esophagus."

Lu Chuan nodded: "There is a high probability that this is possible... but it is somewhat unlikely that this phenomenon will occur due to poisoning."

Food poisoning, in most cases, will cause stomach discomfort in the eater, leading to vomiting, foaming at the mouth, etc.

But the deceased suffered an epileptic seizure, which caused obvious signs of suffocation caused by food blocking the esophagus.

Compared with death caused by food poisoning, the other party should be more likely to die caused by epileptic seizures.

"Where's the other body?"

"In front, not far away, there are people watching."

Lu Chuan and others stood up, turned around the two prefabricated panels, and saw another body.

Unlike the first body that was curled up on the ground, this body was lying flat on a flat surface tied with steel bars, with its face facing one side and its body stretched out.

There were two people around, also workers wearing yellow safety helmets.

This time, there was no need for Lu Chuan to ask. The person in charge began to explain the situation himself.

"This man's name is Zhang San, and he is also a steel worker in their group. Like the person who just died, he lives at the construction site and eats in the canteen in the morning."

"Do all your workers live on the construction site?"

"Only a small part of them live on the construction site, and some of them rent houses in the city."

"People who live at the construction site are usually single people who come from the countryside to work. There are long-term and short-term workers. But those who live in the city usually live in the city for a long time. If there is work, they come to work, and if there is no work, they go to other places. of."

Lu Chuan squatted in front of the corpse, opened his eyes and looked carefully.Because the body had just died and the body had not yet cooled down, rigor mortis was in the process of occurring.

"There are no symptoms of gastric poisoning, the eyes are congested and swollen, and there are some characteristics of death from cerebral hemorrhage."

Yang Sen was a little surprised: "The corpse just now was suspected of suffocation caused by epilepsy, and this corpse died of cerebral hemorrhage, which is a bit strange."

It's really strange. If the other party did die from food poisoning, then there is a high probability that he was poisoned by the same toxin.

In most cases, the symptoms caused by a toxin should be relatively similar, such as vomiting, dizziness, hallucinations, etc.

But of the two corpses, one died of epilepsy and suffocation, and the other died of cerebral hemorrhage.

Compared with poisoning, it seems easier for the other party to understand that the problem is an epileptic seizure or a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

"What symptoms did the other people who were taken to the hospital have?"

"There are all kinds of symptoms, including dizziness, vomiting, convulsions, and some people have hallucinations."

So many symptoms?
Could it be that the same toxin is in these people?
"In this case, let's transport the body down first, and let the forensic autopsy do a toxicology analysis."

"Okay, let's do this first."

Since he died of poisoning, the work of on-site investigation is much simpler.

The body will be handed over to the forensic doctor for toxicological analysis, and there may be some results.

"Old Liu! Old Liu! Send someone to the construction site canteen."

Several people were busy when Qin Yong's voice came from the intercom.

"Xiao Lu, go over and take a look."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

After taking the engineering elevator with air leakage everywhere, Lu Chuaner arrived at the construction site canteen 10 minutes later.

Qin Yong, Sun Jun, Zhang Hui and others are all there.

"Xiao Lu, come here."

While Lu Chuan and others were inspecting the body above, the action team's visit and investigation also yielded certain clues.

"Zhang Hui, please introduce the situation to Xiao Lu."

"okay!"

Zhang Hui took a small notebook: "Based on the results of the recent visit and investigation, it is basically certain that the source of food poisoning is the canteen on the construction site."

This is roughly consistent with the information Lu Chuan judged.

"The hospital has admitted a total of more than thirty people, and more than a dozen of them have severe symptoms. Two of them have died because rescue efforts failed."

Two people?
"Two more people died over there at the hospital?"

Zhang Hui nodded: "Yes, two people at the construction site were already confirmed dead when the doctor came. After they were taken to the hospital, two people died due to acute respiratory failure."

Lu Chuan frowned and said, in this case, four people will die!

"How are the dozen or so people with severe symptoms doing now?"

Four people died, which is already a major case, not to mention there are more than a dozen critically ill patients.

If everything goes wrong...

Lu Chuan couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
